  • user talk:Expatkiwi, user talk:Szhaider and user talk:Yousaf465. I have recently noticed a growing trend amongst quite a few users to insert threats to World Peace templates on their user pages. This template is choice of flags of countries whom in the user's opinion are threats to world peace. Whilst these template are simple coding as apposed to template pages, I think this is distasteful and violates the guidelines set out in WP:UP. User pages that I have seen it on recently are user:Expatkiwi, user:Szhaider and user:Yousaf465, I have asked them to take it down and also seek for some sysop involvement.

  • Talk:Racism and Talk:Racism by country there is an editing gang operating on these page preventing any plural discussion of Israel and racism, there are two criterion in place where poorly constructed arguments are allowed in, but detailed arguments for inclusion of Israel are vetoed for all kinds of reasons. I believe Misplaced Pages has a duty to prevent this kind of behavior which is not only undemocratic it is dangerous. See the chain of convo on the talk page to see the impossible retort to every voice which is about Israel and racism, at least 4-5 editors in this gang pushing the same POV--HalaTruth(ሀላካሕ) 04:36, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Talk:Yaron Brook Yaron Brook has criticized the Bush administration for being too soft in its conduct of the Iraq war, particularly for not being willing to kill enough women and children. Is it therefore appropriate to include him in Category:American anti Iraq War activists? 16:04, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Talk:Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid Alan Dershowitz has written an editorial suggesting that Jimmy Carter believes the current condition of the Palestinians to be worse than the situation in Rwanda.

  • Talk:Iraq_War#.22Part_of_War_on_Terrorism.22 Should the Iraq War be described as "Part of the War on Terrorism" in the infobox, with a reference to a speech given by George W. Bush? 03:03, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Unsure where to post this request. Could someone drop me a note on my talk page to suggest the appropriate article covering government misrepresentation, censorship or mediation, in science? (ie, the correct subject matter related to the practice whereby scientific research and findings can be slanted to suit political agendas.) Censorship doesn't seem quite right, there probably is some better page but I can't think what. It's an important subject not covered in censorship, and I'd like to see what is said about it in other articles if any, or what title such an article might be given (if written). .

  • Western Goals (UK), a well-known UK political organisation very active in the 1980s, with a number of prominent MPs &c., as members and advisors. This article has suddenly vanished. When on types in the title you ar redirected to the Western Goals Institute, a successor body. I am unable to see that any proper procedure has been followed in the removal of this article and would ask for its reinstatement as part of the history of the British political scene of the period.

  • Talk:No_Child_Left_Behind_Act#A_recent_addition_to_this_article Is this edit consistent with WP:NPOV, and should it remain in No Child Left Behind Act? 01:48, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Talk:Racism (section) There is a tag team edit operating on Misplaced Pages blocking all atttempts to discuss or develope the discussion of insitutional racism as part of Israels goverment policy.
