A new vote has been called with a two week limit at Misplaced Pages talk:Don't disrupt Misplaced Pages to illustrate a point. Please take a moment to participate. Thanks. - Tεxτurε 17:05, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

Interested in your comment in Vanunu article

I am having a minor dispute with some members in the Vanunu article. Some posters are very fickle on any editions to it because it is a featured article; at least that is what I think is happening. I have added some information regarding the reasons for his arrest, and his protest against the bombing of the Osiraq nuclear reactor in 1981. There appears to be an arrogant or at least overcatious streak in some posters to erase any new information in this article, even if it is documented and sourced. I always value your imput, so if you have the time, please comment on how to improve the article and my edits there.

Thanks,

• If you want my opinion, Jayjg, he is pushing POV edits. He has been reverted by a number of respected users. BLANKFAZE | (что??) 03:12, 14 May 2005 (UTC)

POV inserts

Israeli-Palestinian conflict is another... Unfortunately he is not alone, as you know well. I try to use Talk and RFC to persuade him/them. If you know a better way, I'd love to know. ←Humus sapiens←Talk 04:57, 15 May 2005 (UTC)

Need your opinion Nazi vs, German occupation

Would like your vote on Misplaced Pages:Votes for deletion/German military occupation of Norway during World War II--Leifern 22:55, May 16, 2005 (UTC)

Template:Gdansk-Vote-Notice

Thanks for your help on Talk:Gdansk/Vote a few months ago. Could you look at Template:Gdansk-Vote-Notice, Halibutt is changing the results, reasoning that all votes are to be included. Any comments are welcome -- Chris 73 Talk 11:11, May 17, 2005 (UTC)

Thank you -- Chris 73 Talk 11:59, May 17, 2005 (UTC)

Qaryanism

Just wanted to thank you for pointing me to the VfD on this article (on the Messianic Judaism page - finally got around to looking into it). My quick review that only one of the articles in the quote was deleted so the rest could be relevant was dead wrong in this case. Trödel|talk 14:40, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

VfD

Hi, see Misplaced Pages:Votes for deletion/Jewish Renegades. Thanks IZAK 15:45, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

Jay

Jay, I'm amazingly busy right now, so I can't stay long and argue my case.. But do you really need to attack everthing I post? Surely even you are above that? Belfast is a part of 'Ireland'. I have several sources that place his birth in Dublin, YOu have noted some that place it as Belfast. Both of these places are in 'Ireland', hence my alteration --Irishpunktom\

• Jay... Belfast is in Ireland. Simple Geography.
• Thanks for the little Jerusalem edit though! Reminds me of a line from the Simpsons. --Irishpunktom\

As well and true as you may believe that to be, fact is I never said he was born in Dublin, I said he was born in Ireland, which you described as "an error", which surely even you can admit was wrong.. or can you? --Irishpunktom\

Geonim

Sorry about the tardiness in response; will look at article during my tomorrow :) Fintor 21:18, 17 May 2005 (UTC) talk

Kibbutz

Hello! I noticed you have already reverted an edit on article kibbutz, so I think you would probably want to know that someone by the IP of 67.170.56.52 just vandalized the article, something I actually never had seen before here in Misplaced Pages.

Keep up the good work!

RfC re Zivinbudas

I have started an RfC against Zivinbudas for his behavior on Indo-European languages. Please feel free to comment! --Angr/_comhrá 22:39, 18 May 2005 (UTC)

Yehudei sheqolenique

Yehudei sheqolenique, ever heard of them? Can you look at and verify the article at all? Thanks IZAK 10:26, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Sock puppet/Proposal

Hi there! I've reworded this a bit per everyone's comment, and would like to get support to make this a guideline and allow it to be used. Could you please indicate if you agree? Note that it applies to any user accounts that become perma-blocked, including the edit warrers or vote stackers you mention. If this isn't clear enough, please edit the proposal. Thanks, Radiant_* 12:27, May 19, 2005 (UTC)

List of assassinations, massacres, and terrorist incidents

Hi Jay, thanks for letting me know. Cheers, --Silversmith 16:24, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

User 192.117.107.224

This guy keeps adding simpletoremember to every Jewish webpage, deleting references that it an Orthodox site, and giving his links misleading names (his anti-Reform link under Reform Judasim is labeled "Historical Overview of Reform Judaism, which I guess it is, sort of, but in a very POV way), and he has been reverted many times. He doesn't reply to his talk page. Any suggestions on how to stop this annoyance? --Goodoldpolonius2 16:30, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

Jonah

Thanks for adding that on the Jonah page. I do recall hearing that theory before, however, and a quick check found some online presence, eg., this 1995 article from Judaism ( http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0411/is_n3_v44/ai_17422984 ). Lectiodifficilior 16:37, 20 May 2005 (UTC)

Matthew Hale

I've used up my reverts for the day on Matthew Hale. Cheers, -Willmcw 17:05, May 20, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks. And yes, I'm following the MacDonald edits. Cheers, -Willmcw 17:28, May 20, 2005 (UTC)

Germany page

Hi Jayjg. Of course I will be participating again on the Germany page. I might restrict my actions to the weekend, though, because I work now (before, I was a student, or looking for a job). When I posted on Talk:Germany that I was leaving the page, I was hoping that it would be a wake-up call to those who still believe we should do our best to improve wikipedia. So I'll gladly join the Germany community again. Also: Thank you for contacting me. Luis Rib 18:54, 20 May 2005 (UTC)

David Gerard

This jerk abused his authority, violated Misplaced Pages policy by using his authority to clear away his lackey's opponents in the middle of a content dispute, and deliberately lied about me claiming that I am a sockpuppet. I stand by my statements. ElKabong

Regardless of what you believe has happened, you have a simple choice to make; stop making attacks, and continue to contribute to Misplaced Pages, or continue making attacks, and inevitably be banned from Misplaced Pages. The decision is yours. Jayjg (talk) 19:18, 20 May 2005 (UTC)

In other words, "stop speaking truth to power." You know what? That's a pretty shitty thing to say. I've had to put up with attacks and smears and lies by his cronies, I've had to deal with the fact that he PERSONALLY lied and made crap up to justify banning not just me but someone else as well, and I'm not supposed to speak my side? Bullshit. He hasn't operated in good faith at any point in this. ElKabong

Nazi occupation of Norway

It appears that we are approaching a consensus on the title for this article, but User:Courage has, once again, unilaterally moved the article to "German occupation of Norway." I think you need special rights to revert this, and I'm not sure if he's violated other policies. Can you please attend to it? Thanks. --Leifern 20:13, May 20, 2005 (UTC)

Hello Jayjg, after we reached consensus on an new name for German military occupation of Norway/Nazi occupation of Norway in the form of "Occupation of Norway by Nazi Germany", the discussion on that page was closed. Can you make the title change? Please notice that the dispute on the content is still in place, so that would be the next issue to address. Best, gidonb 10:33, 22 May 2005 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Wikiportal/Israel

Good day Jay: Please contact User:Humus sapiens who wishes to start a Misplaced Pages:Wikiportal/Israel See his request below. Thanks IZAK 07:13, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

Hi IZAK (and everyone else here :), Do you think it's time to create Misplaced Pages:Wikiportal/Israel similar to Misplaced Pages:Wikiportal/India, Misplaced Pages:Wikiportal/New Zealand and other Category:Wikiportals? I'm writing this here because it was you who made those wonderful templates and we don't have a portal yet where we could communicate. What do you think? ←Humus sapiens←Talk 05:26, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

• Hi Humus, it's only me here, but I will pass your message on to "everyone". Yes, your suggestion is excellent, it is certainly time for what you describe, but I have no experience with Misplaced Pages portals, and if you know how, go ahead and start an Israel portal and I am sure editors of Israel-related articles will support you and join in the effort/s. Behatzlachah. IZAK 05:33, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

Deletion of my project

Jay, I'm working on the article re: Lawrence Kepecs. I took some of the information that was there, found many more sources and added a lot of new information to it as well. It took me and others a long time to gather the info that was recovered. Can you please let us finish our work, as I cannot accomplish anything when you keep deleting it. It was suggested that the page be revised and reposted. If there is anything I can do to make this article more suitable to your liking, please let me know. Thanks --Cantors 20:28, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
