Thank you

Thank you for your change in the dhimmi article. --- Faisal 20:17, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Extraordinary rendition

The reason I reverted is that the information you added, while valid and useful, was already included in the rest of the section - so it was basically repeating what was already there. Welcome to Misplaced Pages by the way. Cynical 14:09, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Category:Terrorist organizations

Hypnosadist, have you ever read this?

Encyclopedic:

• X is on the U.S. Department of State's "Designated Foreign Terrorist Organizations" list.
• X, identified by the Y government as responsible for the PQR suicide bombings , is classified as a terrorist group by A, B and C .
• Countries A, B and C regard X as a terrorist group

Not encyclopedic:

• X is a terrorist group.
• Y, leader of the X terrorists, ...
• After a rapid military response, the X terrorists abandoned the hostages.

Do you see how the category is against Misplaced Pages policy? —Khoikhoi 21:02, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Ok, cool. Adios. —Khoikhoi 22:07, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

SURE

I am sorry!!!

Sure ! ASAP --Aminz 17:56, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

BTW, thanks for assuming good faith. I didn't mean to copy/paste that quote (as you can see the JE sentence is about Ummaids.) --Aminz 17:57, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Treatment of prisoners

Hi back atcha. Would you like to collaborate on Display of prisoners? --Uncle Ed 16:24, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Guantanamo Bay Detainee Camp article

Hello, just wondering why you reverted my changes. Do you mean to ask on this talk page or the article's talk page? I've done both just in case. Madder 20:01, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Welcome to the Military history WikiProject!

Hi, and welcome to the Military history WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Misplaced Pages's coverage of topics related to military history.

A few features that you might find helpful:

• Our navigation box points to most of the useful pages within the project.
• The announcement and open task box is updated quite regularly. You can watch it if you're interested; or, you can add it directly to your user page by including {{WPMILHIST Announcements}} there.
• The project has a monthly newsletter; it will normally be delivered as a link, but several other formats are available.

There are a variety of interesting things to do within the project; you're free to participate however much—or little—you like:

• Starting some new articles? Our article structure guidelines outline some things to include.
• Interested in working on a more complete article? The military history peer review and collaboration departments would welcome your help!
• Interested in a particular area of military history? We have a number of task forces that focus on specific nations or periods.
• Want to know how good our articles are? The assessment department is working on rating the quality of every military history article in Misplaced Pages.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask one of the project coordinators, or any experienced member of the project, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! Kirill Lokshin 15:53, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Military history WikiProject Newsletter - Issue IV - June 2006

The June 2006 issue of the Military history WikiProject newsletter has been published. You may read the newsletter, change the format in which future issues will be delivered to you, or unsubscribe from this notification by following the link. Thank you. Kirill Lokshin 05:51, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Task force

Given that I'm currently involved in an arbitration case with many of the putative combatants, I'm slightly hesitant to make any rash moves here. I'd much prefer, personally, if we had some measure of internal consensus on the best way to proceed, as well as a bit more interest from project members willing to participate in the task force once it's created. Kirill Lokshin 13:04, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

ANI

An AN/I discussion is up focusing on various personal attacks by H.E. against you and me. It's over at here. - Merzbow 01:45, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Actually that's poor misrepresentation of the ANI. The ANI is against YOU (Merzbow) for your usage of warning templates for threat and intimidation against myself and one other user, who has now responded to the ANI. So far, I've kept Hypnosadist out of the matter since I have no personal quarrel with him, just a difference of opinion. As the statement I made, which you (Merzbow) is being framed as a personal attack, it's inevitable I need to bring mention on the content that statement is in response to, and present a link to the Criticism of Islam talk page. Anyway, Hypnosadist, take a look at what's going on and add your view if you'd like to. His Excellency... 01:52, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Persecution of pagans

Thanks for your thanks. That was quick! Itsmejudith 19:59, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Check out Battle of the beanfield and New age travellers for some stuff that might well be relevant to this page. If it is, then the archives of the UK newspapers will provide a mountain of detail. Itsmejudith 09:16, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Unbiased?

I don't believe either that it is possible to be unbiased. I do believe (in principle at least) in the Global Commons, therefore in the idea of Misplaced Pages, therefore in NPOV - until I am convinced otherwise. Some of the most POV-disputed articles are some of the best. It is miraculous how far you can go by describing what each side in a controversy thinks. By contrast, one of the worst is "Community", something everyone likes, but no-one knows anything about. Itsmejudith 21:47, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks very much Hypnosadist! Hypnosadist, I can see lots of discussions on the talk page of Dhimmi since last week (and other pages). Would you please let me know the sections of the talk page of Dhimmi in which the discussion is not settled down yet, so that I would be able to follow it. Thanks again! --Aminz 23:33, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

P.S. I can see lots of your posts on the Dhimmi talk page. Thanks for your efforts.--Aminz 23:37, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

I haven't followed the posts to the Arbcom page recently. I'll catch up in a minute. --Aminz 00:26, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

		An Award
		Barnstar awarded (along with the best wishes :P) by Aminz to Hypnosadist for his friendliness, hardwork and being a very helpful editor in wikipedia. --Aminz 00:48, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

You deserved it! Unfortunately, I know nothing about Al-manar and haven't heard about it before so I am not sure if I could be helpful there. --Aminz 01:25, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Diffs

Brilliant! Especially appreciated as we are taking different views on H.E., but I hope this case can be put behind us soon. BTW did you see my message about links you may want to follow up for Persecution of Pagans?Itsmejudith 22:35, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

I agree completely about the K word, which is racist language and should not be tolerated. I hope the arbs will impose an appropriate sanction. I think the issue is laid out clearly in the evidence and I can't add anything substantial. However, I will make a statement on it if asked to. The other cases are not quite so clear-cut but I wholeheartedly agree that editors should not be using abusive language to each other. Itsmejudith 13:27, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Hezbollah Charter

If you do ever find it, feel free trying to white wash it yourself.--Paraphelion 13:10, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

I hate arbitrators too. Also vandals.

I hate administrators because they are pushing their POV by using violence (ban or page protection). I hate vandals, because they are vandalising and reverting endlessly. I hate arbitrators because they think they are gods. Frofrol 20:32, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Break time from Dhimmi

This template must be substituted, see Template:Smile for instructions Shifting alliances or what???? Itsmejudith 20:08, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your suggestion on the talk page of Dhimmi

~~~ has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling to someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Smile to others by adding, {{subst:User:Cowman109/Smile2}} or {{subst:User:Cowman109/Smile3}} to their talk page with a friendly message. Happy editing!

the idea of including further details was inspiring. Aminz 21:07, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Hindu Unity

Hi, there are racist and biased people who are resisting cited information about the Hindu Unity's involvement in terrorism. The sources people like myself have used include the BBC...however, these people are calling even the BBC an anti-Hindu organization (yes, they are retarded). And when someone tries to put the truth on the page, they attack that person and call him relatives of Osama, etc. --Disinterested 09:29, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Ogham

They are fascinating aren't they? My initial interest was in Runic inscriptions since I grew up with them. I have to keep an eye out for that show. If you got the time, help is needed in expanding Ogham inscriptions. Cheers - Mceder 00:50, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

H.E's classic I'm not anti-semitic i just hate "the Jews"

I am keeping this bit of filth for evidence and show.http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Misplaced Pages%3ARequests_for_arbitration%2FHis_excellency%2FEvidence&diff=69701704&oldid=69699623

In my own defense: A man has a right to his opinion. I do feel Timothy Usher is a bigot. I do feel that Jews are screwing up the planet (though admittedly Muslims, by far, surpass the Jews in their capacity to destroy things). Look at history. Only recently has it become the norm to like Jews. That only came about after certain countries (eg America) adopted them as the collective dame-in-distress needing shelter and protection. Sort of the precursor to the chihuahua. Before then, Jews were hated in Europe and America alike..And everywhere else. We all know Jews were once banished from most culturally superior European countries. The only reason why Poland took them in was that they had loads of money. Probably the same reason why Washington panders to the now. Point is, alot of people dislike Jews. I'm entitled to, so long as I don't demonstrate that dislike on articles dealing with the topic of Jews. We don't penalize people for not liking things, do we? His Excellency... 00:46, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Is that not sick?Hypnosadist 20:49, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Al-Manar page

Thanks for your nice words. There's a bit more in the article to quote and cite, but I didn't get a chance to do it all last night. Last week's new yorker has an article with some stuff about the bombing by Israel. I'll see if anything is quotable in that piece. Elizmr 22:30, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
