I think the 3rd journalist mentioned (the Canadian one) is clearly not a conservative commentator, but I am not going to edit war over this. If you are fine with "conservative" - so be it. Canadian Monkey (talk) 16:30, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
Mediation
Hi Jaakobou,
Thanks for your vote of confidence in the process in the RfM for Gilad Shalit. My role, as I see it is to do the following:
- Listen to all participants
- Help formulate an agenda
- Identify common interests
- Identify pertinent facts/policies/research that would assist participants in forming agreement
- Facilitate an agreement and action plan.
I suggest that we start with an opening statement from each of the participants on the RfM talk page. I've also suggested a few groundrules there. If at any time you wish to contact me privately via e-mail, please feel free to do so here. Best wishes. Sunray (talk) 21:59, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi
Again, my apologies for talking about you before contacting you. I only meant to introduce your name in a complimentary way, as I was struck by your objectivity in exploring something from a POV you clearly find objectionable. Cheers,John Z (talk) 06:23, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

On 30 May, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Mark Goffeney, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Political party tagging
Just as a heads up, for some reason, if you just add the tag without a rating to a talk page, it shows up with a bunch of code underneath (e.g. Talk:Democratic Choice), so you might want to rate them as you go along. I would imagine any defunct party would rate as low importance, and any existing party as medium. пﮟოьεԻ 57 15:21, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
- Good point, I'll take it into consideration.
- Thanks, Jaakobou 15:23, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
King David Hotel bombing
Unrelated Original Research? Unrelated - in what way? Original Research - how do you know? Ah well, I suppose that'll teach me to give citations for everything. While I go off and try to rediscover what the source is, perhaps you'd like to wander over to the List of terrorist incidents article, where you can find confirmation that the King David Hotel bombing was the most lethal 'terrorist attack' until the 80s. -- ZScarpia (talk) 17:36, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
- It doesn't matter it if it's true, only that it is unrelated. Btw, the article's talk page is probably a better location for this discussion.
- With respect, Jaakobou 04:30, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
- Excuse me for replying here. Can you justify your assertion of unrelatedness? I think that truth does matter, though obviously the truth is often relative, not absolute, and what matters isn't so much what you say is the truth, but how you justify saying it is. With respect also, -- ZScarpia (talk) 11:46, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
- There's no reason why we can't talk this through on the article's talk page. Jaakobou 12:01, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
Images
I saw your post on image work fron the Wiki help page and I might be able to help you out. Feel free to send me an e-mail about whatever you want me to do.
Cheers, Jaakobou 15:00, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
- Cool. Thank you for offering to help.
- On July 15th, I'll be hosting a big geography-related collaboration/competition. It'll be the biggest project I've ever attempted on Misplaced Pages (bigger than the WP:TOTD, the help system overhaul, or even the Main Page redesign). Its scope shall be all the countries of the world.
- To make this event extra-special, it needs its own awards. It will have at least three.
- Each award will have an image in it, and it is these I need help with.
- The first award is almost done, and I've got others helping out with that. In case you are interested in what it looks like, here is the current version (all it needs is a passport added to it, and the shadow adjusted, and it will be done):
- The second award will be a medal. I'd like it to be gold, with the words "Misplaced Pages World Developer" engraved into the medal and wrapped around the inside edge at the bottom of the medal, and with a world map (with latitude and longitude lines) engraved into the center of the medal. The medal needs to be hanging from a ribbon that goes around one's neck, and pivoted a little so you can see its right edge.
- The closest thing to a medal of this type I could find is this:
The image needs to be created and shared in xcf format, so that layer information is retained, to allow others (like me) to work on various parts of it if need be.
I look forward to your reply.

Haim Farhi
Jaakobou. I think I've found a source that will resolve the riddle of the year of Farhi's murder (Thomas Phillip also gives 1820 by the way), and provide further details to giver a richer text. Itzhak Ben-Zvi, Eretz-Israel under Ottoman Rule, 2nd ed. Jerusalem (Heb)1966 pp.319-22,339-43. This is in Hebrew, and if you can consult it, I've no doubt we'll get further details on our man, to do him justice, and work the page up. Thanks in the meantime for the groundwork. I find him and his remarkable family very interesting, and had you not drafted the page, I would never have had my curiosity stirred. Regards Nishidani (talk) 11:28, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
- Can't find an online version of the book, and the closest target seemed, upon first inspection, to either be in Karmiel or Jerusalem. Don't believe I'll be making the trip anytime soon, sorry. Jaakobou 12:00, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
- Btw, it seems that the book's name is Template:Lang-he which is a bit different than the English name you provided. Jaakobou 12:03, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
- Don't you have interlibrary loans there? I know this is work, but in my home country, I can drop into any library anywhere and order a book located in any other library and have it within a week or two. Of course, this would be troublesome, but now that we have the article going, I should think that it's worth the effort to keep an eye out for sources like that, perhaps ask friends to look out for it or consult it and improve the article. I think in the long term with these articles, and the Farhi piece is long on background and short on details about the specifics of his life. It's a shame, that family, like so many in the area, was and still is, an amazing one, full of extraordinary people, and they deserve the best we can do for them.Nishidani (talk) 15:05, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Ah darn, I should've indicated that I need an image of the route itself; those are just images of a sign for the route on a different route. Thanks for trying, though! Juliancolton 16:59, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
