irrelevant links

Hi Uriber,

I just wanted to leave a thank-you for going through and getting rid of all those irrelevant links. They had been bothering me forever, but the task just seemed too daunting.

Hi, you cast a vote in the TEMP5 debate. The Temp5 proposal was voted down by 61.3% to 38.6%. We seem to be going around in circles on the whole issue of the main page. A new vote is now taking place to clarify what exactly we want, namely

1. Do we actually want to have a new page?
2. If so when (immediately, after a pause, timed to the press release, etc)?
3. What do people want on the front page and what do they want excluded?

As of now, the whole issue seems surrounded by complete confusion. This way, finally and definitively, we will know what we want and when we want it. So do please express your opinions. The vote is on the same page as the previous votes. FearÉIREANN 20:31, 13 Aug 2003 (UTC)

I noted that you put a _NOTOC_ flag on the 1982 yearpage. Can one enquire why you did that. If I aggree with your reasoning, I will follow suit with all the yearpages I happen to edit for one reason or another. But at the moment I don't see what exactly it accomplishes. Can you elucidate? -- Cimon Avaro on a pogo-stick 14:20, Aug 22, 2003 (UTC)

Yup, Yup, Yup. On the other hand...

I do see what you mean. It does look odd. For a moment anyway. After staring at it for several minutes, I almost started to get used to it, but that isn't good enough. A user should find everything intuitively obvious... Yes. As an immediate response I think you did the right thing. On the other hand what I found unsustainable is the "See also" block itself. That isn't a convention followed anywhere else on wikipedia. Those are usually put at the very end of an article. In fact, I wonder why somebody felt necessary to put them up there so prominently in the first place.

Oh, well. It seems I'll have to do a search through the possibly relevant discussion and project and whatchamacallem pages to see if this is a decision arrived after a long and reasoned discussion. Long term, my personal opinion would be to move the "See also:" links to the end and out of a frame just like with every other page. But thats just me. -- Cimon Avaro on a pogo-stick 17:59, Aug 22, 2003 (UTC)

I would like to formally invite you to join others at Wikipedia:Wikiproject_Arab-Israeli_conflict to work with us toward resolving issues that have arisen and resulted in edit wars here at Wikipedia. Also, I would like to formally request that you agree, along with the rest of us, to refrain from editting each of the articles that are listed as currently under protection or subject to edit wars on that page till the issues regarding that particular article have been resolved and we have removed that article from the currently under protection or subject to edit wars list.

Hello Uriber. I'm working on an article about the Kfar Etzion massacre at User talk:Zero0000/temp. Your comments would be welcome. --Zero 03:41, 15 Feb 2004 (UTC)

I changed "Zionist settlements" to "kibbutzim". I think that "settlement" is ok in general. That word is used by all of the sources I listed, and pre-1948 it was used by everyone. I see your point, though. I don't think "village" would be reasonable for something only recently established, and "community" has the wrong meaning. It would look odd to use "kibbutz" all the way through. Do you have another suggestion? --Zero 00:49, 18 Feb 2004 (UTC)

About List of massacres committed during the 1948 Arab-Israeli war, my intention is to have an article or at least a stub for each one of the items listed. This is why I did Etzion just now. The next one will be Tantura (which is controversial and I plan to use just "Tantura" as the article name without the word "massacre"), and after that a single article that does both of Haifa Oil Refinery massacre and Balad al-Shaykh massacre (the second one was a revenge attack for the first). Meanwhile I ordered Benny Morris's new book as it is supposed to contain a lot of new information from IDF files about these incidents. When it arrives I'll go through the whole list and add or subtract as needed. All of this takes a lot of time and mine is limited. In addition to what is present now, there were some major bombings with lots of casualties. They were done by both Jews and Arabs, and in one case by British deserters. I don't think they need articles of their own, but one day I might write a single article that lists them. --Zero 02:34, 18 Feb 2004 (UTC)

I hope one day I will learn to debate as convincingly as you did on Jlem! What do you think should be done to the text on the Jlem's importance, currently removed (not even moved to talk)? Looks like when your opponents don't have anything to respond with, they claim it's POV and therefore must be removed. --Humus sapiens 22:40, 4 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for reverting the numbers. I took them from a news update, which (I guess) had lumped together the victims and the perpetrators, exactly what I oppose. --Humus sapiens Talk 21:08, 15 Mar 2004 (UTC)

I was reading your debate over Jerusalem with other wikipedians, and I was impressed by the clearness, non-ambigouty and strength of your arguments. Keep up the good work. -Marduk 00:31, 19 Mar 2004 (UTC)Marduk

Hamas

The name of Hamas seems to derive from an Arabaic phrase meaning "Islamic Resistance Movement". Perhaps that's why Cantus persists in using the term "movement" to describe the organization. It interested me, because I am a member of a church (with a particular, officially-appointed leader) but which is also part of a more loosely-defined "movement".

If you know any recent American history, we might recall the "anti-war movement" of the 1960s. Various organizations and individuals considered themselves part of the overall movement, such as SDS.

What sometimes confuses us in the English-speaking West, is that several Middle-eastern organizations have names which literally mean that they ARE the movement, like "Islamic Jihad".

What do you make of all this? --Uncle Ed 21:49, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Hi uriber, now the quickpoll is over, I just wanted to explain that my vote didn't mean I had anything against you. I just feel that reverting won't solve anything and I get annoyed when people revert so many times. I know you had discussed it, and I can understand that you were fed up with having to reiterate the same points but the reverts don't look good regardless of that. No one will feel like listening to the other side of the argument when constant reverts are being made and it looked like you were not inclined to stop, so my support vote was just a way of saying I oppose the revert tactics, nothing else. Also, I purposefully didn't vote until fairly late as I didn't actually want to see you banned, so I only voted when it was clear the quickpoll was effectively over and the required 80% was never likely to be reached before the poll was closed.

Is there any way you can come to agreement with people without reverting? I wonder if something like the talk:Mother Teresa/FAQ might help. Eloquence and others had problems with newcomers who were not aware of the previous discussion (with 50,000 words on the talk page - who can blame them?). Perhaps a Jerusalem FAQ could be written, which would basically summarise the results of the previous discussions? Then you could direct people to that rather than having to explain the same issues time and time again. Anyway, just cool off a bit on the reverting and I'm sure you'll have more luck getting the article into a shape that everyone can accept. Good luck with it. :) Angela. 22:57, Apr 7, 2004 (UTC)

Article Licensing

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 1000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

• Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
• Multi-Licensing Guide
• Free the Rambot Articles Project

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

OR

Option 2

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:

{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

The unhandled entries are those that cannot currently be deleted due to block-compress errors. These are listed on the top of the VfD/Old page and there is no need to have January 9th in its entirety sitting on that page for the several months it might take to fix that error. As to blanking the pages I am using the older and more efficient system where as I clear the pages I remove the entries from the page.

Postal censorship

Noticed your edit and comment on the Postal censorship page. What is bizarre about the listing? These are countries that have been proved to have exercised postal censorship during the quoted periods and gleaned from several well known (to specialists) sources as quoted in the reference section. While this is a specialised subject, I don't see any issue other than the whole article needs more work. Cheers ww2censor 15:08, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, "totally bizzare" might not have been the best choice of words. Sorry for that. What I meant was that providing this long list of countries and colonies, without any further details or specific references, is simply not useful at all, IMO. -- uriber 15:19, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

First I prefer to keep the discussion in one place so have added back you reply. The sources alone with information about each country would take hundreds of pages of text which is why the references are there for those who want to investigate more in depth. The book "History of the Postal and Telegraph Censorship Department 1938-1946 Volume I & II" is more than 1,000 pages alone. What would you suggest was written beside each country entry? Remember that even the postage stamp articles for most countries A-E, F-L and M-Z are still redlinks that have not yet been written, so a specialist topic like this is much less likely to get detailed attention. Thanks ww2censor 15:33, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

If detailed attention is unlikely, I would prefer to see a general sentence saying something like "most (all) nations involved in the war enacted postal censorship, in their homelands and colonies". This essentially provides the same information, but in a much more concise and convenient way. If there are notable exceptions, they should be mentioned, of course. I believe that Wikipedia (and any encyclopedia, for that matter) should not be simply a place to dump data. -- uriber 15:50, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

You are correct about that, so I will give though to some concise comment about who was involved and who abstained. For instance some neutrals in WWII enacted postal censorship while other did not for different reasons. Thanks I will give it some thought and try to come up with something more encyclopaedic. Cheers ww2censor 18:04, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Having looked over the article carefully, perhaps some sort of narrative about the major periods of conflict (WWI & WWII) and those who were the main proponents of postal censorship with some "between the wars" overview of those who did likewise at other times. I need to get out the books and review some more and you will likely agree, that will be better than the list that is there now. ww2censor 19:02, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Gaza and the Palestinian territories

I'm not sure how I feel about this, but I saw you reverted it previously. Tewfik^Talk 20:37, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. The current wording is slightly better than the one I deleted (because it talks about Gaza being in the "Palestinian territories", rather than the Gaza Strip being part of them). I still don't really like it (because I think the term "Palestinian territories" is ambiguous and somewhat POV), but I'm not going to go to war over it. -- uriber 08:03, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Hello

Occupied territories

Your point is extremely well expressed:

    "The West Bank and Gaza Strip are disputed territories whose status can only be determined
    through negotiations. Occupied territories are territories captured in war from an established
    and recognized sovereign. As the West Bank and Gaza Strip were not under the legitimate and
    recognized sovereignty of any state prior to the Six Day War, they should not be considered
    occupied territories."

I completely agree. However--the problem is to give scholarly references.

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 01:27, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia Wars and the Israel-Palestine conflict...please fill out my survey?

Hello :) I am writing my MA dissertation on Wikipedia Wars and the Israel-Palestine conflict, and I noticed that you have contributed to those pages. My dissertation will look at the process of collaborative knowledge production on the Israel-Palestine conflict, and the effect it has on bias in the articles. This will involve understanding the profiles and motivations of editors, contention/controversy and dispute resolution in the talk pages, and bias in the final article.

For more information, you can check out my meta-wiki research page or my user page, where I will be posting my findings when I am done.

I would greatly appreciate if you could take 5 minutes to fill out this quick survey before 8 August 2021.

Participation in this survey is entirely voluntary and anonymous. There are no foreseeable risks nor benefits to you associated with this project.

Thanks so much,

Sarah Sanbar
