Marshall, query for you here. SlimVirgin (talk) 19:35, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
- You say you support having a more prominent discussion of women in the lead. And yet you have removed the image of the woman being executed, and you continue to edit the version of the lead inserted by the Taliban supporters on that page. If you support a more prominent treatment of women in the intro, can I ask you please to act consistently with that? SlimVirgin (talk) 19:46, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
- To clarify, you edited a lead that moved the treatment of women to the end, and included the text: "Women were forced to wear the burqa in public ... in a response to the numerous rapes that were committed in the lawless environment that existed after two decades of war." And: "Girls were not allowed to be educated after the age of eight ... as the Taliban claimed that they did not have the funds to educate them."
- It's bad enough to have to write about this misogyny without it being acted out in the article. I'd appreciate it if you would not contribute to it, even inadvertently. SlimVirgin (talk) 19:50, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
- I will continue to question your motives if you continue to edit badly. You removed the image from the lead, as you know, and replaced it with an infobox containing the Taliban logo. The treatment of women is not a partisan issue. It was the issue that the Taliban became known for internationally; the only issue they were known for before 9/11. Please read the content policies: NPOV, V, and NOR. We don't edit leads to reflect our own views of what they ought to have been known for, but for what they were known for. And they were not known for failing to educate women because they had no money for it; they were not known for forcing women to remain covered to protect them from rape. That was the version you edited, and yet you call it "improving the quality of the article." As for your pointless fluff comment, I am speechless. SlimVirgin (talk) 20:17, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
- I don't know whether you're pretending to misunderstand me, or whether you really didn't see what I wrote. Once again: I object to your saying, on the one hand, that you support a more prominent treatment in the lead of the position of women, and on the other hand (a) removing the image, (b) editing a version where the position of women was left to the end of the lead, and (c) (worst of all) editing a version that said women were not educated because the Taliban couldn't afford to educate them, and that women were forced to keep covered to protect them from rape. This is offensive Taliban propaganda, but you did nothing about it. SlimVirgin (talk) 20:52, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
- No, what I am saying is that you're involving yourself in an article that you haven't even bothered to read; you're edit warring and then denying you're doing it; you're restoring leads that are offensive; and you are supporting editors who have widely acknowledged extremist views, and who are incapable of editing (here and elsewhere) within the policies. But I am the one you pick on to make accusations against ... SlimVirgin (talk) 21:12, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
- Why are you removing Farsi and Arabic and returning Pashto? SlimVirgin (talk) 21:13, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

]- You thanked me on my talk page for the warning, but you continued to revert. SlimVirgin (talk) 02:16, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
- Then you're very lucky, because I warned you before I saw that edit. You had already violated 3RR before that. SlimVirgin (talk) 02:35, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
- You're continuing to revert, and yet you're still within the 24 hour period. If you do it once more, I'm reporting it. SlimVirgin (talk) 16:42, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
- Could you revert yourself, please? SlimVirgin (talk) 17:01, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
- If you don't want to be reported, you'll have to revert yourself. SlimVirgin (talk) 17:04, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
Taliban
That arabic writings on the very top does not have anything to do with meaning of the word Taliban. That is for those who can't read or understand English language so then they can read Taliban article in their languages, which is available in
Taliban images
I've attempted to address the issues you have raised in a more succinct fashion, please feel free to add your input at [1] Jachin 21:10, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
Thanks
Hey, thanks for solving that 'picture problem' over at the Taliban article by making that infobox. I tried to tell them over and over that placing a pic of a public execution at the top of an article (ANY ARTICLE!) was POV, but they just wouldn't listen...until you came along and fixed it. So, thanks again! --Wassermann 05:07, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

OK, well I just copied and pasted that from the Encarta article to prove a point. Which you would have understood if you'd actually bothered reading what I'd written. Marshall 05:20, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Ultimate_Force.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Ultimate_Force.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, then 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, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.
As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{

London Meetup - January 12, 2008
Hi! There's going to be a London Wikipedia Meetup coming Saturday January 12, 2008. If you are interested in coming along take part in the discussion over at
Invitation to Wikipedia meetup in London
![Wikimedia UK logo](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e4/WikimediaUK-logo.png/150px-WikimediaUK-logo.png)
Date: 13:00 onwards, Sunday 10 August 2008
Venue: Penderel's Oak pub, Holborn WC1 map
More information: Wikipedia:Meetup/London 12
Hello,
I noticed that you have listed yourself as a Wikipedian in London, so I thought you might like to come to one of our monthly social meetups. The next one is going to be on Sunday 10 August, which might well be rather short notice, but if you can't come this time, we try to have one every second Sunday of the month.
If you haven't been before, these meetups are mainly casual social events for Wikipedia enthusiasts in which we chat about Wikipedia and any other topics we fancy. It's a great way to meet some very keen Wikipedians, but we'd also love for you to come along if you're interested in finding out more about Wikipedia, other Wikimedia projects, or other collaborative wiki projects too.
The location is a pub that is quite quiet and family friendly on a Sunday lunchtime, so hopefully younger Wikipedians will also feel welcome and safe. Alcohol consumption is certainly not required!
Although the meetups are popular, many UK-based editors still don't know about them. It would be great to welcome some fresh faces, so I hope you can come along.
Yours,
