Mediation
A case in which you are a party (Banu Nadir) has been submitted to mediation by the
Battle of Mu'tah
You've added in the history page: "a soldier's view is relevant only adhering to a literal interpretation of sources, which WP doesn't, else A.I. Akram is a non-descript, self-taught historian at best"
I added this links, because there was many people on the talk page requesting sources. I know, A.I. Akram may not be the source, but in his book, he shows many of them. He had studied very early islamic sources, and interpreted them. But he shows the sources, so anybody can look at them, then he may interpret. What do you say about this?Mfyuce 07:28, 3 July 2006 (UTC)mfyuce
- Please cf WP:RS:
- 3 Beware false authority
- 6 Using online and self-published sources
- 8.1 History
- All applies to a military who claims to be knowledgeable on history without proving his scholarship and without known and verifiable reference for his scholarly reputation in the field. WP policy doesn't mandate any source to be better than none. On the other side, the Encyclopaedia of Islam is a work of reference. Also, please post this on the article's page, where the discussion belongs. Unless you really understood WP:OR you won't succeed - we all had to read this sooner or later. --tickle me 11:10, 3 July 2006 (UTC)]

- You already added {{fact}} to everything you deem to be unsourced or mere encyclopaedic analysis (OR), which is quite OK as an act of politeness, as others now have the chance to source their claims. You could even delete it. However, when inserting your claims, you're to follow the same guidelines. You did what what you're blame others for: inserting unsourced OR.

Hi,
Please look at Hezbollah talk page. I described that Nasrollah's quotation is distorted. if they [Jews] all gather in Israel, it will save us the trouble of going after them worldwide. If you read the text of his qutations you find that he didn't speak about Jews at all. He spoke about zionist and we know some of jews aren't Zionist.--Sa.vakilian 05:54, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I don't see why anyone would sanction you for restoring your own posts. You've asked several times for people not to post inside your comments, so if they continue to do it, I see no problem with you restoring the integrity of your own post. Perhaps you could simply post your original post above the comments they've woven into yours; in that way, you're restoring your own material without changing theirs.

Missy Myatt
I would like to comment on your editing of the David Myatt article which seems to contradict the policy of Wikipedia in respect of articles about living people. You continue to insert what seem to be inappropriate comments in your Edit Summary. Wikipedia is about NPOV - your comments appear to detract from that. Coolmoon 13:46, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
- O dear, if only
the FührerMr. Myatt could hear that. Hopefully, I could assuage your concerns. Trust me, you seem to be agitated by what might seem, at first sight and just hastily reviewed, as impudent and unmindful edit summaries, directed at some hapless IP, whose interest, apart from wikiland's, you defend valiantly - as could well be expected from the gentleman that you are. I trust you, however, to see at least some inner beauty, and the corresponding edit's propriety, on thorough and thoughtful inspection.
- Should, by chance, an empty stomach be a pertaining element to the irritation that guided your ways to my humble wikipedic shed - may I suggest, say, some hearty bangers and mash, possibly Worcestershire sauce caring for digestive spice, to gratify nature's demands? Afterwards, let's meet again on gentler terms.
- One grave issue, though, remains to be answered: Please, don't you mingle your postings, welcome, cherished, and valuable as they are, with those of the slimmest of virgins, dear and helpful in my wikipedic woes.

Moving comments
Regarding this, please don't move people's comments. I don't know what "interposting" is, but I don't think samsara would appreciate your moving of his comments very much. Thanks.--§hanel 05:54, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
- "interposting": You don't need to know, as I spelled it out on that page, for the second time:
- "Again, I ask all repliers to cite and quote, not to interpost. --tickle me 03:07, 11 August 2006 (UTC)"
- Besides, that's what WP:WQTsays:
- "Interweaving rebuttals into the middle of another person's comments, however, is generally a bad idea. It disrupts the flow of the discussion and breaks the attribution of comments. It may be intelligible to the two of you but it's virtually impossible for the rest of the community to follow."
- I think WP:WQT had a good idea, so do others. I happen to not like samsara or whomever to move my posts in the first place, did you choose to ignore that? And let's not get into semantics, pls? Besides, I certainly don't "appreciate very much" samsara to alter my edits, on top of tattering them. --tickle me 06:05, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
- This is not a forum, where one user's posts are atomic and cannot be split. Wikipedia:Etiquette is a guideline, not a policy, and is not to be used as a club with which to beat your opponent around the head. If one person presents their comment as a huge flow of paragraphs, it is common practice when replying to one specific paragraph to attach the reply to that paragraph with an extra indent: there is no licence to fill the entire screen with one person's opinion with no recourse to discussion. To be blunt, moving someone's reply away from its context so that it now makes no sense is a greater breach of etiquette, and a good example of the bad behaviour about which you appear to be complaining. You seem to have been here a while, so one would have expected you to pick up on this by now. HTH HAND —Phil | Talk 07:11, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
- "there is no licence to fill the entire screen": That's my post, half a screen on 1024, 15 lines. What's huge about it?
- "recourse to discussion": the recourse at hand is to cite and answer.
- "It may be intelligible to the two of you but it's virtually impossible for the rest of the community to follow": WQT deals with talk pages, not forums. Even if only a guideline. Is it so far fetched?
- "To be blunt, moving someone's reply": I want others to be able to follow, even if they happen to pop up next week. And yes, split threads make it hard to follow.
- "beat your opponent around the head": pschemp asks me to "go jump in the lake"? I'm a outlawed already? Who's beating?
- Why can samsara edit and vandalise my posts? sheer admin power?
- --tickle me 07:40, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
- That's because you reverted [1] my correction [2] of your translation of my prose. I think I know what I meant. I can only urge you to stop doing that. Since this translation game seems to be a new one, I'm happy to explore the policy situation on this. - Samsara (talk • contribs) 09:53, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
You *are* not to correct my edits, arguably except for libel. Have a RfC on that, fine. It's not about what you meant anyway, that's for you to explain if you so feel - it's about what you wrote. And it's telling that you don't engage in a translation debate, however uncalled for that would be - instead you ressort to vandalism.
My translation is public. Alleging a "game" is administrative smear. You may add your own or contend it publicly. You're trying to intimidate me; being an admin, your abusing your powers. --tickle me 10:14, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
- You're accusing me of various wild things. Tell me what you would do. Lay down and die? You must be kidding. So let's continue the discussion without detracting from the real issues. If you think that you can use my being an admin as an argument for me not being allowed to talk to you, something in your brain is screwed up. Show me where I've intimidated you. So far, you are the one trying to get me framed for vandalism. Funny, that. - Samsara (talk • contribs) 12:47, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
for the buffs
Not that it matters, but this is my party:
Samsara's German version:
- Ich bin dann die Quellen durchgegangen, um sicherzustellen, dass auch alle Statements durch Quellen untermauert sind
Samsara's translation:
- I then went through the sources to make sure than all statements were supported by sources. [than: sic]
Mine:
- I then perused the sources to make sure that absolutely all statements are backed by sources
The German conjunction auch is wholly redundant in the sentence above, lest it is interpreted as reinforcement - or as idiomatically poor. I assumed the former, the latter is on the house. ja auch being the next step intensification, one might argue how to confer a single auch's semantics here: be my guest. --tickle me 10:52, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Asinine WSJ article
Re Bernard Lewis, there is no inference in the following text:
- Ahmadinejad had said that Iran will respond "by the last days of ''Mordad''", the 5th month of the [[Persian calendar]].<ref>[http://www.bbc.co.uk/persian/iran/story/2006/06/060621_mf_nuc_ahmadinejad.shtml BBC Persian], "Iran will respond to the EU3 nuclear proposal by late Mordad", 1 Tir 1385</ref> English translations picked the last day of that month, converted it into the Georgian calendar and omitted any hints to the original context. In addition, Lewis failed to note that Rajab 27 (which falls on the last day of Mordad in the Persian calendar year of 1385) is not recognized as the night of [[Isra and Mi'raj|Mi'raj]] by the [[Shi'a Islam|Shi'as]][http://www.hawzah.net/per/e/do.asp?a=ECCBBJ.htm] (the official religion of Iran is Shi'a Islam), but is known as the day of Mohammad's first calling or Mab'as, an event that is unrelated to the story of Mi'raj and Mohammad's purported flight to Jerusalem.
These are facts related to his article. In anycase, I propose removing the reference to that article all-together. A rather minor bleep in his long career. Kaveh 20:30, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
- That "English translations" picked/converted/omitted something may be true, it's your WP:ORnevertheless. That Lewis "failed to note" something is your OR, or POV, too - as is the rest.
- Summing up: if such a prominent scholar commits such an egregious, blatant, shameful, and, as you call it, asinine blunder, the press, both popular and specialised, should be full with corresponding comments. These you are to find and cite. You're not to correct Lewis presenting your findings. Should you wish to follow up: please move this thread to the article's talk page where it belongs. --tickle me 12:28, 16 August 2006 (UTC)]

deletion of Lebanese_Hezbollah_recruts_being_sworn_in.jpg
Why did you delete
- It was deleted because the image had a clearly invalid fair use tag; or it was an image that failed some part of the fair use criteria and the uploader had been given 48 hours' notification (for images uploaded after 13 July 2006) or seven days' notification (for images uploaded before that date). (CSD I7). - CHAIRBOY (☎) 15:18, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
- The fair use tag was valid, neither you nor anybody else gave a sensible reasoning. Stating that it was "clearly" invalid doesn't make it a sound argument. The image didn't fail any part of the fair use criteria.
- This is the rationale given:
- Fair use claimed for the History of Hezbollah, Hezbollah military activities and Hezbollah#Armed_strength articles because the Roman Salute, unknown to Ottoman and Arab armies, had been introduced both to Arab armies and paramilitaries by German instructors who fled after WWII, together with the adherent ideology. The picture thus illustrates the unison of religious affiliation and military discipline, which is Hezbollah's distinguishing mark.
- Fair use claimed for Roman Salute, as Hezbollah is one of the few examples in modern time using that salute, elsewhere shunned for its historical implications, as it has been widely used by 20th century European fascism.
- Fair use claimed for

- There isn't fair use rational like what you can find in Image:Nasrallah on al-Manar television.jpg. There is written I couldn't find copyright free depictions of such ceremonies on flickr or similar sources. This is not a good rational.--Sa.vakilian(t-c) 04:27, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

On the Islamophobia article
Hello. I noticed you made some edits to the
“ | Multiculturalism in its present configuration has clearly failed. 30 If anything, it has encouraged Islamic radicalism in the name of “diversity” and a mindless cultural relativism. It has permitted Western democratic identity and liberties to be steadily undermined, human rights abuses to be ignored (including terrorist intimidation,
forced marriages, polygamy, and vicious antisemitism) and the fabric of civilised society to be seriously threatened. “Islamophobia”, with the tacit or open complicity of liberal and left-wing apologists, has become the dominant myth with which to silence dissent or menace the lives of would-be reformers or critics of Islam. Islamist radicals, using the fig-leaf of multiculturalist “tolerance” have been able to stoke up anger and resentment against “secular” “Christian” societies in America or Europe, as well as against the Jews and Israel. Under the protective shield of a misplaced liberal pluralism, the preachers of hate have reinforced the paranoia and siege mentality of growing numbers of Muslims, opening the floodgates of fundamentalist antisemitism and hatred of the West. |

Please assist I would like to modify the Italian version of Everything That Happens Will Happen Today, but I can't seem to figure out the template. It's a pretty straight-forward and small change I would like to make: the infobox says that it's the chronology of only Brian Eno, but it's really the chronology of Brian Eno and David Byrne (see the English version of the page if I'm not making sense here.) Do you think you can amend this for me? Thanks. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 06:09, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Edward Said thowing a stone at Israeli soldiers.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Edward Said thowing a stone at Israeli soldiers.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:
- Go to di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
- On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media 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 taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria.

In this edit here, I reverted some information that appears to be a violation of our copyright policy.
I provided a brief summary of the problem in the edit summary, which should be visible just below my name. You can also click on the "view history" tab in the article to see the recent history of the article. This should be an edit with my name, and a parenthetical comment explaining why your edit was reverted. If that information is not sufficient to explain the situation, please ask.S Philbrick(Talk) 12:10, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

If I recall my edit correctly I guess now that should have rewritten the SPLC's statement instead of copying it verbatim.
