Middle East Textbooks Invitation

quoting a blogger

I am aware that blogging being an unregulated force, quotes from a blog do not constitute a validation for a viewpoint or be counted as a source for anything with a factual basis. In this specific case however I am using a remarkable peice of writing, that happens to appear on a blog, to illustrate the ways that the language is and can be used. In that context I do not feel that the fact it is written by a blogger in any way diminishes its validity and the point it makes.

Futhermore the piece that I have tried to use as a quote not only perfectly illustrates the point but it is the fact that it appears on a blog written by a chassidic jew (and we all know that they are a retiring community that do not often make their views plain to outsiders) that makes it all the more relevant! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.66.110.45 (talk) 19:39, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I need your help again

There is a user who is harassing, name-calling, and is generally being disruptive to many articles. She has been warned on numerous occasions and archives pages before you can reply to her incivility. This has finally gotten out of hand, and I would like to know what to do about this user. To find out the details, please see my talk page. I was willing to ignore her for quite some time and take her abuse. But it has ended up going too far in this case. Can you please help me, or at least show me how to go through the process of reporting users? Thank you very much.--Lan Di (talk) 23:54, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The arguments made by Lan Di have in some cases been laughed at (not by me) for being pointless and nonsense. The user is incredibly in-civil towards me by engaging in discussions which are solely to attack me such as on User Talk:Angelriver and User Talk:MiB-24. I find the user to be highly disruptive and in my opinion not familiar with the policies and guidelines of Wikipedia. The user had pushed me to the limit and I exploded in one go and only once, the user is just as to blame if not more to blame than I am.--Lucy-marie (talk) 00:11, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to directly quote some of the comments made by Lan Di "All we have to do is attack her credibility". "I can also get my admin friend involved, as he likes me, and will help us out if I ask for it". "I will get my admin friend to slap her down extremely hard". "We really need your guys help in slapping her down again". These comments seem to show a pattern that Lan DI firstly has a disliking for me and secondly is going to make personal attacks and involve administrators to attempt to have me "slapped down". These comments are highly uncivil and do not focus on anything but me as a user.--Lucy-marie (talk) 00:33, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

And what about your comments to Lan Di which included calling him a "petty, ignorant, obsessed fan" as well as being uneducated and narrow minded? Civility works both ways, Lucy. You have a habit of incivility that started with me from my very first day here where you called me an "absolute wally", "stupid" and threatened to have me banned. Angelriver (talk) 00:38, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
That is one individual comment and not a systematic and virtually continuous pattern. Here is not the place for Angelriver and I to discuss our differences that is for one of our individual talk pages.--Lucy-marie (talk) 00:48, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I agree, Lucy. This is for our talk pages. Unfortunately though, you archive yours before rebuttals can be made. Angelriver (talk) 00:50, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Palestinian POV pushing

Recently, a new User Coda Stage (talk · contribs) created a number of controversial articles and categories that are profoundly POV. Some attention and input, as well as some discussion, would be welcome regarding: Zionist hunter (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Zionist hunter); Category:The Nakba (deletion discussion); Category:Israeli war crimes (deletion discussion); and his creation of Daniel Machover and contributions to Doron Almog; Sabra and Shatila massacre‎ and Qibya massacre‎. Thank you, IZAK (talk) 07:22, 10 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pro-israeli and Pro-zionist POV pushing?

You know i find extremely funny to read above such a cry for help on this topic here, while i was on the way to ask Humus sapiens why he used wikipedia as his tool for pushing what is looking like his pro-israeli and pro-zionist agenda (time to precise that i am neither an anti-israeli nor an anti-zionist)... I reviewed some of his articles creations ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Humus_sapiens/contribs ) before coming to this conclusion, by just having a look on how he reword sentences or piece of facts to reflect his POV in its initial edits, his purpose looks more than clear for anybody objective. Quoting dubious sources like palestinefacts.org from the Zionist Organization of America as if their were credible ones, while giving biased or distorted meanings to the actions or declarations of the other side of his POV, i.e. Palestinians if anybody more...

A random example: "In December 2004, he insisted that the Palestinian goal is Israel's destruction in interview to Iran's Al-Aram television station: "At this stage there will be two states. Many years from now, there will be only one... [There are] 300 million Arabs, while Israel has only the sea behind it." Khaddoumi said his platform was endorsed by the PLO in 1974. ([1])" [BTW another nice and objective source along others for an encyclopedia...] cf. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Farouk_Kaddoumi&diff=8987385&oldid=7480722

Now can you explain us how the quoted declaration -from a dubious source to say the least- of that guy Khaddoumi can be translated in your words into "he insisted that the Palestinian goal is Israel's destruction", all this while you are wearing your "Countering Systemic Bias" banner (sic) and are a Wikipedia administrator? ROFL. Poor Wikipedia, you used to be more than decent before being hijacked by people with an agenda and far too much spare time to propagate their biased POV... "Encyclopedic content must be verifiable", right. :rollingeyes: (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 23:43, 27 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I happened to spot this whilse looking for another comment I left on your page almost a year ago (guess I'll check the page history to find it!) Anyway this comment looks like POV pushing. It attempts to discredit the source rather than exmaine the information (and MEMRI reference now is at least solid evidence the statements were made). That is means "he insisted that the Palestinian goal is Israel's destruction" is also clear. Looking at the account where this accusation came from, it has very few edits very spaced out. I'm not making an accusation, but I'd urge you to examine the users contribution and to draw your own conclusions if you haven't done so already. Sigh. Oboler (talk) 19:50, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Steinberg's Religiosity

Here is a new reference about Isaac Steinberg's Orthodox observance during his service in the early Lenin's government:

http://books.google.com/books?id=S0Ls8Z-Y89cC

(Read pp. 126-128, available in the Google preview)

It's a well known fact among the Yiddishist circles (to which I happen to belong). Steinberg's family, the former secretary of his New York office, and a number of other people can verify this information. Even the Russian poet Bunin mentioned in his memoirs "Окаянные дни" that Steinberg was religiously observant. Please don't delete my notion about Steinberg's Orthodoxy (or add it youself). The religious aspect of Steinberg's personality plays a significant role in his anti-Marxist version of socialism, close to Martin Buber's and Gustav Landauer's mystical anarchism. I believe, this fact is worth mentioning. Laplandian (talk) 14:45, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Revert of my redirect of Yitzhak Grossman

Hi,

I found 2 articles about the same person. One article has a subset of the information in the second article, has a number of warnings about quality (and is frankly pretty badly written), and misspells the man's name. I redirected it to the other article.

You reverted the redirect (or at least you left me a message why the redirect was reverted).

Your message stated that maybe my edit summary was not descriptive enough. Here's what I put there: "Duplicate article. Redirected to more complete version (basically a superset of the content here)."

Here's the article that I redirected to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yitzchak_Dovid_Grossman Here's the article that I redirected: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yitzhak_Grossman

What is the appropriate action? Now we have 2 articles about the same man again. Is that a good situation?

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Vgrossman1.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

File:Andrei Sinyavsky.jpg

Hi,
I assume you are busy sysopping, but I had a question about a photo you set up ages ago.

[[File:Andrei Sinyavsky.jpg]]

I'm fairly new to these photo copyright issues.

The purpose of the image is to illustrate the article, Andrei Sinyavsky. The use of the image to illustrate such article(s) is considered fair use by US law because:
There is no free equivalent of the image, that can illustrate the article the same way.
The image is used in a minimal amount of articles.
The image will only be used for encyclopedic purposes.
The use of the image will increase the reader's understanding of the article significantly. The use of the fair use image in Andrei Sinyavsky is for identification of the photograph.
The image will be only used in the article(s) abovementioned.

I would like to put this author photo here:

List of Russian language novelists

Hence, "minimal number" of articles, "increase understanding", and so on.

Can the allowable article list not be expanded to include the list of novelists?

Deletion of a section of "Persecution of Christians"

Dear sir,

I could not find your argument for the deletion of the "Later Jewish persecution of Christians" section of Persecution of Christians, done, if I am not wrong, the 29 May 2007. I can figure some reasons but I don't find them sufficient to imply a complete deletion. Besides is such an important move without rationale good practice? As I make training sessions about Wikipedia and its possible use in education, I would be very interested by your explanation or complementary information and thankful.

I put up an entry on this webpage and a user is deleting it for no reason. She isn't discussing the reasons why on the discussion board but putting up useless comments about how she "likes socks". Well, the category is for the individual's religion. She is an atheist. The categories are there to guide the encyclopaedia to provide information to the public. This allows people to reference categories. Particularly relevant in politics. Among a number of things is to allow people to do searches. I found this entry because of listening to the radio and there is a religion in politics debate. I wanted to know who is an atheist in the debate and who is religious. Also Euthanasia is a big issue and as health minister it is good to know what religion she is. It only adds to the encyclopaedia not detracting from it. Look at the entries for politics around the world. Religion is a big thing in Australian politics. Incogfrig (talk) 13:41, 4 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Suspension of admin privileges due to inactivity

Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative privileges of users who have been inactive for one year, meaning administrators who have made neither any edits nor any logged actions in over one year. As a result of this discussion, your administrative privileges have been removed pending your return. If you wish to have these privileges reinstated, please post to the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e., as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised and that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions).

File:Lina Stern.png needs authorship information

Dear uploader:

The media file you uploaded as File:Lina Stern.png appears to be missing information as to its authorship (and or source), or if you did provide such information, it is confusing for others trying to make use of the image.

It would be appreciated if you would consider updating the file description page, to make the authorship of the media clearer.

Although some images may not need author information in obvious cases, (such where an applicable source is provided), authorship information aids users of the image, and helps ensure that appropriate credit is given (a requirement of some licenses).

  • If you created this media yourself, please consider explicitly including your user name, for which: {{subst:usernameexpand|Humus sapiens}} will produce an appropriate expansion,
    or use the {{own}} template.

If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the

image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Replaceable fair use File:Maabarah children.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Maabarah children.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
  2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Finnusertop (talk | guestbook | contribs) 06:17, 19 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The

Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 04:50, 20 October 2016 (UTC)[reply

Wikipedia Wars and the Israel-Palestine conflict...please fill out my survey?

Hello :) I am writing my MA dissertation on Wikipedia Wars and the Israel-Palestine conflict, and I noticed that you have contributed to those pages. My dissertation will look at the process of collaborative knowledge production on the Israel-Palestine conflict, and the effect it has on bias in the articles. This will involve understanding the profiles and motivations of editors, contention/controversy and dispute resolution in the talk pages, and bias in the final article.

For more information, you can check out my meta-wiki research page or my user page, where I will be posting my findings when I am done.

I would greatly appreciate if you could take 5 minutes to fill out this quick survey before 8 August 2021.

Participation in this survey is entirely voluntary and anonymous. There are no foreseeable risks nor benefits to you associated with this project.

Thanks so much,

Sarah Sanbar
