I fail to se how the spelling of his name in Cuneiform is less relevand than the spelling in Greek, or Hebrew. Most names of foreign as well as ancient rulers have their name written out as they themselves wrote it. The normalized version Sîn-aḫḫē-ēriba is an interpretation of his name made by scholars and hides many of the multiple choices regarding how his name could be read. Normalized akkadian says almost nothing about the way it was written in cuneiform, hence translitteration and normalization are both used. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.66.92.163 (talk) 14:08, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

Changes to Gary Kott's Wikipedia entry

Hi there - I made the changes (wholesale, I acknowledge) to Gary Kott's Wikipedia page at his request. Gary, my father, asked me to help him set up the page in the first place a couple of years ago. He's now had a change of heart about the content and asked me to shorten it to say exactly what I'd changed it to. I agree that it might seem to have been a harsh edit, it was done at the subject's request. And as it's still factual, I didn't see the problem. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stuporfly (talk • contribs) 14:35, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

There are a few things that I can see, that can go, however blanking out most of the article, isn't the way to go. Although it is factual, the way Wikipedia works, is that once the content has been added in - (just as long as its within policy) - it will stay. I'll remove all that can be removed.

Why are you deleting my testimony???????

I have written an article of what I am a living witness. Why are you deleting it???? History is written according to living witnesses and not according to what we feel about someone. You should know that there are more horrible things that I have witnessed, but I did not include them in my article. What I have written is like a drop in a sea. Deleting my testimony will not hide or change the facts. I thought Wikipedia is interested in showing real facts, but by deleting my article I feel that there are ones in Wikipedia who want to show only what is appropriate to them. Again here is a copy of my testimony as a living witness:

"In a successful attempt to take over what was called East Beirut, Bachir himself led his men in launching an attack on Dbayeh Camp, which was inhabited by over 3000 defenceless Christian Palestinian refugees. The only militants in Dbayeh Camp were three Palestinian policemen armed with pistols and handguns in accordance with the Cairo Agreement. Bachir laid siege and bombarded the camp for three days. On the fourth day he led his militants inside the camp. After the surrender of the inhabitants of the camp, they were gathered on a field nearby the camp, which was a former French military camp, called by the inhabitants” Il Ishli”. Bachir ordered his men to separate women and children on one side, while the men on the other side, as he personally ordered the digging of a very big hole in the middle of the field with an excavator. The hole was to be used as a mass grave for the inhabitants of the camp. Meanwhile a number of Bachirs men robbed all the houses. Luckily as Bachirs men were digging and deepening the hole, Bashirs brother Amin (ex-president) and a delegate from the church arrived. They held a meeting with Bachir. The meeting took about two hours. The inhabitants could even hear Bachir getting angry and swearing. As the meeting was going on, Bachirs men circled around the inhabitants of the camp. They humiliated them by harassing women, or with words. They used to say, your "Palestinian" Christ is a one-eyed-Christ, and your "Palestinian" Virgin Mary is a whore. A helicopter with an Israeli TV-crew was allowed to fly over and report this. After the meeting with Amin and the church delegates was over, the angry Bachir fired few shots in the air. Then Bachir unwillingly gave orders to his men to stop digging the mass grave and to release the inhabitants. In total there were over 28 Christian Palestinian men, young and old, who were slaughtered in cold blood. A group of young Palestinian men tried to flee to Beirut to escape the intended massacre. The furthest point which they reahced was the outskirts of the camp near the so-called Protestant school. That school was built and owned by three German missionary women. Near that school there were high buildings owned by Lebanese. The group took refuge in one of those buildings. The owner of that building was at one time friendly with the Christian Palestinians of Dbayeh Camp. Less than an hour later he delivered them to Bachirs militia to be slaughtered in cold blood. Bachirs militants cut off the ears of the dead and carried them around as medallions. Some old and sick men were shot in their beds. Others were killed by hitting them on their front head with an ax. A blind man was shot with his son, as they were trying to find their way to the shelter, another man was killed by driving a tanker over his body, a twelve year old girl was raped to death in front of her family, and then Bachirs men burned her body in the back yard of her house. That girl was the daughter of the owner of the only two-storied building near IL Ishli. An old shopkeeper and his crippled wife were killed in cold blood, as Bashirs men robbed their little shop. Bachirs men dumped their bodies in the old French shelters near Il Ishli. Their bodies were discovered few weeks later by one of the kids, who were playing nearby. With difficulty the priest of the church in Dbayeh Camp (St. Georges Church) was granted permission at that evening to gather the bodies of those, who were slaughtered. Some of the camps inhabitants were allowed to help. They gathered the bodies at the altar of the church, while the bodies were rapped in white sheets. As the priest was holding the funeral mass, one of Bachirs men barged in. Then he started disrespectfully stepping on the bodies and heads of the dead as he spit and swore at them. Later Bachirs militants attacked Jisr al Basha. Bachirs militants slaughtered the inhabitants of this small and defenceless Christian Palestinian camp as well, and they even raped the women. Some survivals took refuge in Dbayeh Camp. The Syrians created a coalition with the Christian parties to launch attacks against the Palestinians. As a result the Syrians helped Bachirs militants in attacking a Palestinian refugee camp inhabited by Muslims, called Tal al Za´atar. Hundreds of Palestinians were slaughtered on the hands of the Syrian army and Bachirs militia. Bachirs men cut off parts of the killed Palestinians, heads, ears and so on. Then they put them on show at the entrance of Dbayeh camp. They used to force the passersby of the Palestinian camp either to choose to kneel down and kiss a head, or get shot. The witnesses of this horrible act are still living and recalling Bachirs hunger for blood and killing. In accordance with international law Bachir is no hero but a war criminal."


I hope you appriciate real facts, because polishing the memory of a murderer will not change the course of the past history.

It doesn't show that 1=1 or that x=1 and if you want this website to put forth credible information then you would take down this page as telling people .99999 equals 1 is as unconstructive as telling people 3=4.

Westfield Southlake is the mall in question. The phone number attached to the Google search, is (219) 769-6319
- which I presume is your company's number. Now, the only problem is - I'm not seeing where this number is actually coming from. No phone number has been cited in the article - so why is it showing up on Google?

The board members are evidenced here: http://www.mlc.vic.edu.au/about/board_of_directors_944.htm, but this will change as the board changes (which will be next month I think). The sacking itself is in the major papers, as is the unanimous decision. see https://docs.google.com/a/holsman.com.au/file/d/0B8poAdcNcdTwb3N5M0o1dWtHVlE/edit for a copy of the letter that was sent detailing how it was unanimous.

Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.6.187.150 (talk) 04:46, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Westfield Group, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page World Trade Center attacks (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Future of WikiProject Amusement Parks

Hi MelbourneStar. I am contacting you because you are listed as one of members of WikiProject Amusement Parks or one of its task forces. I have just started a discussion on the project's talk page regarding the future of the project. I have made four proposals and I would appreciate your comments on them. Thank you Themeparkgc  Talk  23:21, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

BS

In reply to my reasoning as "BS"... it is pretty valid.

The article sourced here,

http://www.news.com.au/entertainment/celebrity/troll-slapped-with-intervention-order-after-the-janoskians-fight-cyber-bullies-in-court/story-e6frfmqi-1226500250821

Has absolutely no value in any way, the article is ignorant and had no research behind it... like seriously, no research. I can find some journalists who have written some pretty crazy stuff. Doesn't mean I use that one source and post it as fact... and seriously... News.com.au???

Contesting speedy deletions

I am populated photos to National Historic Places the Wikipedia invited us to submit, even after the contest ended. At that time there was no discussion about developing content, but collecting photos. However, I am working with a person in California who has first hand historical knowledge about these landmarks. The plan was to post the photo then he will follow up with copy. Is there a way of Not Deleting these while we collaborate on the effort?

Hi Recline, and Welcome to Wikipedia!
Two things,
Firstly, there's a way your articles will not be deleted, and that's by working on them in your
userspace, as a draft - where you won't be interrupted, and can take your time with adding information etc. I would suggest if you'd want to recreate the articles, without them being deleted, you start in your userspace draft. For "William Park House", create this: User:Recline/William Park House. For "John Palmer House (Lisbon, Connecticut)", create this: User:Recline/John Palmer House (Lisbon, Connecticut)
.
Secondly, I would like to point out that all articles on Wikipedia, must have
"Original research"
which isn't permitted on Wikipedia.

Once upon a time, there was an IP blocked for disruptive editing. The person behind the IP was smart; and quickly switched IPs - just to edit again. However, they weren't smart enough, since they communicated again with the editor that had gotten them blocked in the first place. That person, will now make sure that this new IP doesn't "
edit outside their block
", otherwise they'll be re-reported.
Please read articles, or do something else constructive on or off the internet, and don't edit articles on Wikipedia, whilst blocked. Thank you, --

The section that you removed

Hi - I note that at 05:46, on the 18th of November 2012‎ on you censored something that I'd added to the article on

Michael Buckley (Internet celebrity)
. The reason that you gave is that "all content, esp. "criticism" must have reliable sources." I found this rather odd, as surely Buckley's videos are a perfectly reliable source? Would you ask for a reliable source if somebody told you the sky was blue? One could argue that, in order to remove the section, you'd first need to disprove my point. Isn't the onus also on you to show that what I posted was untrue? Respectfully, I realise that there are rules here, but all you'd have to do to see what I was pointing out would be to simply watch one of Buckley's videos.
The main thrust of my criticism is (was, until you removed it) that Buckley's videos at Youtube use a kind of deception to bring viewers ("hits") in.
That's it. Quite simple. And true.
I just looked at his page and noted that (as an example) he's posted a video with the title "JUSTIN BIEBER THROWS UP ON STAGE" (The upper case is Buckley's). The issue here is that the video is not what it says it is. Admittedly there's a still of the event buried amongst the chatter, but it would appear Buckley's motive for posting this kind of thing is seemingly (and simply) to get as many hits as possible. So the Bieber video is actually a video of somebody (Buckley) talking to camera about Justin Beiber throwing up on stage. One imagines that this is the reason that hundreds of people leave very negative comments under his videos - because they are disappointed: the video they have clicked is not the actual event, but somebody talking about it. This is no doubt why many post comments saying exactly this: their time has been wasted.
Setting aside the fact that Buckley seems to be a kind of ancillary person that thrives in the oxygen created by others (celebrities), it seems odd that you should require me to furnish a reliable source to back up the information I have provided. After all, are his videos not a reliable source? All you need do is look at a couple of his videos to demonstrate the essence of my point.
After you've done that, I'd appreciate it if you'd replace the section you censored. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.135.189.178 (talk) 02:59, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

And I mean this quite respectfully! : ) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.135.189.178 (talk) 03:03, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
Hey,
It's not as clear cut as it sounds. Whilst Buckley's video's are primary sources - they must not be used to
WP:ABOUTSELF
).
Secondly, this is negative content - and it must have multiple
WP:Biographies of living people
.
Also, "All you need do is look at a couple of his videos to demonstrate the essence of my point." =
WP:Original Research
, which is forbidden on Wikipedia.

If you can find reliable secondary sources (newspaper articles; books etc.) - then, by all means, the content you want added in, shall be. Thank you, --
R (Chat Me!)
07:32, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
—————————
Thanks. In a sense, all the negative comments that are left on his videos are secondary sources  ; )
Mentioning "newspaper articles; books" also seems strangely anachronistic and outmoded (especially considering the fact that Buckley's existence is hitherto almost entirely web-based).
…I could find a ton of online content mentioning how tiresome he is.
Seriously, fair point. I get it. Not that I agree with it: something like this that's so glaringly true - yet according to strict rules it can't be added to the article.
Thanks for the clear explanation, and please excuse the flinty tone in my message above.
86.135.189.178 (talk) 17:42, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
You may also use web news articles - apologies, I should have clarified.
If you can provide "a ton of online content mentioning how tiresome he is" - provided these are
reliable sources
(eg. news articles) - the section can be re-added, and or tweaked to match up with the sources.
I know,
no original research aims to weed out all the contentious things people add into articles - but also forbids somewhat reasonable content - not "sky is blue"
obvious facts - but still content that is partially verifiable if you follow a link. It does serve it's purpose though.
Again, no problem - and never mind that - it's not the easiest explaining something over Wikipedia! Regards, --
