Holocaust dispute diff

I have finished scanning the disputed diff and placed the significant edits on the Sandbox page. – Dreadstar † 01:38, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Sri Lanka page

Couple of editors are suspected to be sockpuppets, initially checkuser said it was a sock puppet, then the case was bailed out. Supposedly these accounst are not supposed to edit the same page beacuse of it but they do all the time to overcome 3RR not jsut in this page but number of pages. This is the . If you need more on this let me know. 13:59, 31 July 2007 (UTC) -- — Preceding unsigned comment added by Taprobanus (talk • contribs)

Deletion vs. moving

If you look at my original comment here I never said I'd stop opposing deleting articles, I said I'd stop arbitrarily moving articles around if you agreed not to do that either. There is no consensus to move or merge urban apartheid into Allegations of apartheid. If you're insisting on consensus before an article like "Allegations of Brazilian apartheid" can be moved you can't turn around and say it's okay to merge Urban apartheid or Social apartheid unilaterally. Please be consistent and please agree that urban apartheid and social apartheid should be individual articles until there is a consensus to do otherwise. Lothar of the Hill People 19:40, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

As a courtesy

I thought I would let you know that I posted a notice at WP:ANI regarding our impasse at Palestinian people. Tiamat 19:11, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

In the future please do not selectively quote policy. The rest of that paragraph goes on to state: "All quotations and any material challenged or likely to be challenged should be attributed to a reliable, published source using an inline citation. The source should be cited clearly and precisely to enable readers to find the text that supports the article content in question" Which it was. The section deals with unsourced material. --SevenOfDiamonds 03:02, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Reading the posts at ANI, I was quite troubled by the aggressive and insulting tone of your comments. As an administrator you should set an example for other editors to follow, rather than engaging in personal attacks. Tim Vickers 21:24, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

RFAR

You have been named as a party in an RFAR at Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration#Allegations of apartheid. --Ideogram 06:12, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Restoration of old material

You just restored an old version of the DNA section at the Palestinian people after GH and myself worked on it to make it better. Please explain this action at the talk. Tiamat 13:40, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Your edit restored exactly the same DNA text that Tewfik had added some time ago. You also restored a section that I deleted because it was not very relevant to the discussion of Palestinian ancestry. So you kept one sentence at the top. Big deal. It's another wholesale revert. Along with the ancestry section. Compare this diff which includes you edit to the DNA section with the edit Tewfik made a while ago: . Now tell me what you changed. Nothing. Here is the diff where you make this wholesale reversion of the DNA section (and the ancestry section) . What did you keep? A set of brackets? Wow. Tiamat 14:08, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Nationalism and children's paintings

1) as mentioned in cat_talk:pal_nationalism, I've put Category:Ethnic nationalism for cfd. 2) regarding edits in sderot, we do keep on bumping in to each other in so many articles, that at times its difficult to keep track of which one is which. --Soman 15:11, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

RFAR Comment

Darn it. If I try to be balanced, I get called a troll. If I "take a side", I am not being fair. Lose-Lose.

In any case, If you raise that point I will also second it, as it is undoubtedly true.

I will admit I had little time to organize myself before I commented, but my main point was that there where serious allegations all over the place that needed Arbcom's attention, even if the result is "editing dispute - got back to talk". Thanks!--Cerejota 04:26, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Complaint lodged against you.

Dear Jayjg. I believe you have made a mistake (failed to link correctly to a reference), fixed it after I pointed it out, then claimed that my report is false and either shockingly careless or (possibly?) malicious. See here. This happened at the AfD page for "Allegations of Chinese apartheid", but I have lodged the complaint at the ArbComm page, where various behaviour on the AfD page is under scrutiny. If I were to be mistaken in this allegation against you, be sure that I would retract and apologise. I know how very keen you are on references being correctly linked, and how serious you consider any mistakes made in this regard. However, I did not go to complaint first, I assumed the initial error to be in good faith and treated it as such - though I cannot be sure whether you approve of AGF in these cases. Please leave this notification in place for a reasonable time for people to see it. PalestineRemembered 08:53, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Actually, as I explained to you quite clearly at the time, "Actually, it pointed to an article in the Economist. There's no requirement that specific quotes from the citation be provided, beyond what is listed in the article itself. Nevertheless, I have provided one anyway." And that is exactly the case; the reference was always perfectly good, pointing to an article called "Country cousins" in the Economist, and giving the exact date of publication, April 8, 2000. "Country Cousins", The Economist, April 8, 2000. is a fine reference, fully complaint with all Misplaced Pages requirements, and that's what it said. There's no requirement that a lengthy quote from the article be provided, and most citations on Misplaced Pages don't bother doing so. As a courtesy to you I actually went and got that quotation anyway. To have you now claim that this courtesy was somehow deceptive is strange at best. Jayjg 14:01, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

I have made a (nearly) unreserved apology to you at the ArbCom page - but I'm posting the chain of events here in order to avoid cluttering up that page.

I first made a mild complaint at, whereupon you made the fix, and messaged me that you'd done so (I'm almost uninvolved and not taking part in the edit of that article, hence I don't think I saw your note). Meanwhile, I'd complained more vociferously at and your response this time came across to me as denial and as an accusation of bungling against me. I trust you will similarly withdraw any false allegations you have outstanding against me. PalestineRemembered 14:42, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

You've accused me (quite falsely) of getting my references from Holocaust Deniers. You've accused me (when the evidence was strongly in the opposite direction) of getting my views from Holocaust Deniers. You've allowed these accusations to be picked up and thrown around with utter abandon and apparent malice, long after you must have known they were (at a minimum) utterly unfounded. Have you forgotten so soon? When the apartheid regime falls in Israel (which is clearly getting closer), I shall wear your accusations with pride. But in the meantime, since I've withdrawn a mistaken allegation against you, the least you could do is grant me the same courtesy. PalestineRemembered 15:29, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

As an outsider to this conversation, I find your message above perplexing. It sounds as if you're essentially stating that you _do_ subscribe to holocaust denialism, but because of the current political climate, you'd like to be on record as NOT subscribing to it, at least until the "apartheid regime in isreal" falls. Some pretty loaded language that seems to assert some real dishonesty on your part. I'm not familiar with the original argument you had w/ Jayjg, but what I see on this page is troubling. - CHAIRBOY (☎) 15:44, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

I've been chided already for making "political" statements, so I won't. Suffice it to say I've preached against bigotry in here, one of those statements led to a month-long block (supposedly, a protest against ethnic-labelling is an accusation against unnamed editors of racism). PalestineRemembered 16:06, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Jay -> That's amazingly grudging - after 3 months you finally admit that "it's likely" that I didn't get my references from the Holocaust Deniers. Whereas I provably did *not* get my references from the Holocaust Deniers. The information I presented was relatively well known (having caused a stir in Parliament). And it was part of a pattern, not "surprising" in any way. It came out of a book I had to hand enabling me to find the reference within minutes of me discovering what I'd been accused of. We're supposed to be editing an encyclopaedia, I'd have expected respect for accuracy might be a prequisite, but then I'm not the expert on WP that you are. What do you think? PS - I was planning to ask a clerk to remove my accusation/retraction entry in the ArbCom after 24 hours. PalestineRemembered 16:06, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Canaanite civilization material

Hi. As you may have noticed, Tiamut is taking a break. Did you think the discussion was moving in a useful direction? Presumably, you all want to keep improve the article in her absence. If so, I'm wondering if you might consider stepping in and "writing for the enemy" as they say. You've listened to her quite thoroughly and have a keen grasp of the POVs she tries to articulate. Maybe you could comment on the talk page on how to proceed, voicing Their POVs. Do you think this would help us move forward in editing, while avoiding troubles down the road? Thanks.

B'nai Avraham Synagogue

A {{prod}} template has been added to the article B'nai Avraham Synagogue, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Misplaced Pages is not" and Misplaced Pages's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please tag it with {{db-author}}. DLand 22:12, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

Hi there, do you know what happened to goodoldpolonius2?. I'm curious because I deleted my former account and I was considering in creating a new one. She was one of contacts and helped me with many holocaust related articles. Please respond, I'm gonna check for any answer in a few days. 190.173.214.63 07:55, 13 August 2007 (UTC) (sorry for the signature, but I'm not sure of creating an account since I realized that many good people left).

We could use some help

Loremaster has been driven off the featured Ebionites article by a disruptive editor, Michael C. Price. I'm about to leave myself. Michael has a unique perspective on the application of undue weight (that there isn't any), and insists that all POVs must be represented in the article, no matter how fringe. This argument is being used to push an extreme POV that is a synthesis, namely that prominent individuals (Jesus, John the Baptist, James the Just, all the apostles except Paul) in the early Church were all Ebionites, and that the early Christian Church in general and the Essenes that preceeded them were all Ebionites. These claims are then used to deny the historicity of orthodox Christianity (and implicity "prove" it is a false religion). My specific objection is that the secondary sources used to support these "claims" don't make these sweeping assertions. Opinions of various sources are woven together in a synthesis which is then put into the mouths of the sources. Even after a detailed examination of the sources reveals they don't say what is claimed, this editor refuses to retract his statements or allow them to be modified. I feel personally that this rises to the level of fraud. We are weary of tracking down every source (some of them are obscure) to verify that what is being stated is accurate. Further, calling the accuracy of any of the claims into question leads to raging edit wars on the talk page. I requested comments from Ft/N, but they have been ignored. I requested an RFC, but there has been no response after two weeks. I also recently posted a request for input on the discussion board at WikiProject Jewish History. Can you recommend a further course of action? Ovadyah 14:48, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

I agree 100% with Ovadyah. --Loremaster 15:56, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

And so do I. And I would add the tendency to ignore a more mainstream view, restricting "secondary sources" to a few authors that are quoted (not always accurately, see above) ad nauseum and in a way that often endorses them. And a tendency to misread other editors' comments. Str1977 19:08, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

It is not a synthesis: see James Tabor. --Michael C. Price 16:58, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

It should be noted that Michael recently made major revisions to the Tabor article, so it would not be surprising to find that Tabor's reported "views" seem to be convergent. Ovadyah 17:57, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Easy enough to check out his book in that case. --Michael C. Price 18:11, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

All the editors that helped to make the Ebionites article FA quality have been run off. Therefore, I am applying an "expert-verify" tag to the article. I will notify AN/I and contact some academics in the field to help. Ovadyah 13:05, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

FYI

Hey there Jayjg, I just wanted to give you a heads up that I referenced our discussion over at the Holocaust Denial page in my RFA. Since I referenced it (but not you by name) I figured that I should drop you a line as somebody may or may not ask you about the exchange.Balloonman 15:05, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

George Soros ready for unlocking

Jayjg,

It's been a long and pointless(?) discussion, but it appears that the editors at George Soros (those who haven't left from boredom with the discussion) can agree (5 to 1) on the following:

"Bill O'Reilly has been a strident critic of Soros , but the accuracy of his criticism has been questioned." The first cite is a Washington Monthly Book Review (of O'Reilly's book) and the second is the origninal of the LA Times article where the IU researchers deny O'Reilly's producer's comments (per Bellowed).

In short, would you consider unlocking the Soros article. Thanks.

Favor

When you have a chance, could you look at White people, especially the lengthy discussion (you ought to read the whole thing, although the most salient points are toward the end)here? I am especially concerned with Fourdee. The underlying issue is whether races (in this case, obviously, the white race) are biologically real or social constructions. I feel very confident in my grasp of both the sociological and genetic research and know that Fourdee is wrong, but I have tried very hard not to engage him on this. Instead, I have tried, consistently, to make the discussion about compliance with our core policies. Fourdee has been (in my opinion) consistently courteous. But I believe he is a racist, and it seems obvious to me (and my question is, will it be obvious to you too as you read through the discussion, and slowly see slight changes in his position/rationale) tht he is nothing more than a POV pusher who wishes to use Misplaced Pages articles as his own soap-box. I do not know if the situation is appropriate for an RfC. But I would (1) like to know whether you think my reading of him is right, or whether I am over-reacting, and (2) if you do think I am right, I would appreciate whatever support you consider appropriate. Thanks, Slrubenstein | Talk 10:57, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

Time to lock Scott Thomas Beauchamp?

A rather nasty edit war is breaking out on Scott Thomas Beauchamp, and a few of the accounts are newly-created SPAs. There's been a lot of POV pushing in terms of adding "see also" links to admitted liars (which Beauchamp is not), as well as several attempts to scrub the article of any sources critical of the U.S. Army. Your locking the George Soros page was valuable; I wonder if you'd consider locking the Beauchamp page so this can all be hashed out on the Talk page. Thanks. --Eleemosynary 22:50, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

European peoples

I gotten into a minor argument on Talk:European people about whether Ashkenazim are an European ethnic group. The claim (which I have challenged) is that because Jews come from the Middle East and seldom intermarry with "native" Europeans, we can speak of "European Jews" but not say that Jews are a European ethnic group. This sounds like a matter of semantics; I personally do not have such a strong investment in the view, but I do know some hold the view and for me it is a matter of NPOV to acknowledge it. However, in the context of other debates on this page and other articles, I think what is at stake is a highly racialized notion of ethnicity that has been used to justify viewing Jews as permanent outsiders in Europe - a view that in light of the twentieth century cannot be innocent. Please consider commenting (look at the bottom) Slrubenstein | Talk 00:04, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Arab WikiProject?

Some editors are proposing the creation of an "Arab" WikiProject when there are dozens of country-based Arab Wikiprojects that already cover the Arab world, and the related cultural/linguistic topics. I think the motive behind the project is pan-Arabisim, and the idea of a race-based WikiProject is an absurd one, as we don't have Hispanic or Latino WikiProjects. Can you please share your thoughts on this issue? I am also suspicious that many of the editors who have signed up for this proposed project, are the same individual using multiple accounts to stack the votes.

Drive By Reversions

Jay, I see that you haven't stopped your habit of doing drive by reversions. You revert edits without taking the time to read the article to see if something is actually sourced or not. How do I know? You've reverted completely uncontroversial changes I've made, and checking your edit log, you didn't even spend a minute on the article since your revert previous to that. It looks to me like you're just hunting for increasing your edit count. Please don't do it. It's bad for business, and tends to piss of people like me that are genuinely trying to improve wikipedia with good edits and then get their edits reverted out of hand. If you're not going to spend the time necessary to see if an edit is good or not, you should NOT be deleting them from wikipedia. That is not what wikipedia is about, and it definitely bites the hands that feed it. It's a bad habit, and should be stopped. Wkerney 03:08, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

I apologize for editing your user space directly, but I hope you can forgive the intrusion. Thanks, — Amcaja (talk) 02:15, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Dispute on FGC

Hi. I am having a dispute with a user on FGC. I noticed your previous contribution and hoped you might provide some third-party commentary on a dispute at Blackworm’s objections. Your opinion would be greatly appreciated. Thank You. Phyesalis (talk) 01:19, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
