Haaretz

Be careful not to violate 3RR. — ] (talk · contribs) 22:09, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

You think the last one is a revert? nableezy - 22:18, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

It wasn't, but they take a pretty broad view of 3RR at WP:ANEW. It's probably best not to make more than three non-consecutive edits during any 24-hour period. — ] (talk · contribs) 22:26, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

your revert in the Ethnic Cleansing article

Concerning the revert you made of the material in the ethnic cleansing article with the summary "it actually is well sourced with scholarly text calling it such" - I responded to these concerns on the talk page and demonstrated carefully that the sources that were used in writing the article did not in fact support what was claimed. No page numbers were cited, authors were cited as support that simply did not support. As it stands the edit is improperly sourced as well as misleading. As I suggested on the talk page, you can rewrite the section with proper sources that actually support the contention. In the meantime, it would be wrong to leave such poorly and even wrongfully sourced material in. I went to some trouble to write a small essay that showed the passage was not "well sourced with scholarly text," before I deleted the passage. Did you read it prior to your revert? Stellarkid (talk) 02:21, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Yes I did, and I also saw the detailed response that showed multiple scholars using the term. You really want to contend that Ilan Pappé's The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine is not a proper source for the material? You want page numbers? pps xi - 261. nableezy - 03:41, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

UNISPAL links

Hi, Just in case you are doing it the hard way like I did until recently, here is a quick way to find unispal links to the documents that used to be in domino. I'm not sure it always works but I've have some luck with it. Consider the change you just make on Palestinian refugee:

Old: domino.un.org/unispal.nsf/9a798adbf322aff38525617b006d88d7/93037e3b939746de8525610200567883!OpenDocument

New: unispal.un.org/unispal.nsf/b792301807650d6685256cef0073cb80/93037e3b939746de8525610200567883?OpenDocument

The key is that the second long code is the same as before. To find it, do this search in Google:

site:unispal.un.org   intext:93037e3b939746de8525610200567883

Hope that's not old news. It might also work without the "intext:". Cheers. Zero 14:37, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, and I was doing it the hard way. This should make it easier. nableezy - 14:45, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Return of Samaria

Hi Nableezy,

I'd fix this myself, but seeing as I'm barred from editing on the topic, doing so may be a bad idea... Shuki (talk · contribs) has taken it upon himself to add infoboxes to a number of settlements, and in doing so, labeling them as being in Samaria (e.g. here, here or here).

Could you have a look if you've got the spare minutes and nerves?

Many thanks, pedrito - talk - 15:33 18.08.2009

P.S. By the way, cool signature ;)

I asked Shuki about it. Misplaced Pages:Naming conventions (West Bank) specifically says we cannot say a place is "in Samaria" without qualification and that is what the infoboxes do. As for the sig, thanks for not yelling for stealing yours. nableezy - 15:44, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

I feel oddly compelled to write this message and sign it. Sean.hoyland - talk 15:58, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Ahh, like Agada you assumed you were the inspiration. Nay I say! The differences between us are wide, you have not figured out the most important part of the signature, the unification of time with name. A little hunting helped me find the way to such an aesthetically pleasing formulation, and I now no longer have to type the fourth ~. nableezy - 16:02, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

No I didn't, I was just fessing up to Pedrito. That and an inherent tendency to flock towards small rectangles. Sean.hoyland - talk 16:10, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Is this Pedrito canvassing a blatant violation of the ARBCOM ruling or is a request for clarification needed?--brewcrewer (yada, yada) 16:03, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Is Shuki adding Samaria as the region a blatant violation of the naming convention guidelines mandated by an arbcom decision or is an AE thread needed? Either way, I dont give much of a fuck, the point is getting things done. You want to run to WP:AE and demand justice that is your choice. nableezy - 16:06, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Didn't think you gave a fuck, but I thought this was the best place to bring it up. Btw, the double oxymoronic - 'violate a mandated guideline' - brought a smile to my face. --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 16:10, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

But like a triple negative it should be fine right? nableezy - 16:14, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Not a bad point.But it's not like I don't have to get on with my non-wiki life. I won't not see you later.--brewcrewer (yada, yada) 16:17, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Re: Template

Hi Nableezy! I just don't think it's important. SlimVirgin is making too big a fuss over it, just like Nishidani was at ArbCom. It wouldn't really be a problem to make the clause you are suggesting, although it would have to be 1 not 0, because you said you wanted to make it display "Israel" when an empty value is given, and I believe code on Wiki, like PHP, interprets null or "" as 0. So, again, if it's really important to you, I'll give it a look. Cheers, Ynhockey 20:05, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Friendly advice

Don't let yourself get too worked up and put yourself in the wrong (I asume you know what I'm talking about). I have a soft spot in my heart for pro-Palestinian editors with a sense of humor who know what they're talking about and edit sanely, so do me a favor and stay out of trouble.

fuck that, calling her a "stinking nasty little bitch" is not something I am just going to let go. Dr Blowhard chased off a user that put in an insane amount of work on these articles because he doesnt like red links. To have somebody who put in nothing of any value at all say that to user that has put in a lot is not something I can just let slide. But thanks for the friendly message. nableezy - 20:57, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

(ec)I have already warned Dr. B on his talk page and at least he removed what he said from my talk page and that of Tiamut's. Nab, akhi, don't get dragged into this swearing fit (at least not here). It's extremely unfortunate and saddening for me also to hear that Huldra is leaving, but besides trying to convince her to stay, there's not much more we could do. I think time will solve this problem and she'll return to improve the depopulated villages... it will be hard for her to resist. Salam, --Al Ameer son (talk) 20:59, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

I appreciate the sentiment, but I didnt even say anything to him about chasing her off, even though after he was politely asked to stop with the rapid fire creations that add nothing of value just kept going. But calling her what he did is not something I am willing to lay down for and if that gets me blocked so be it.
