Regarding ]: Usually Wikisource articles only contain the actual text. In this case that would include the signatories, but not the (endless) list of people who did not sign. The current article contains some other material which would remain in Misplaced Pages. If you or other editors would like to cover elements of the history, such as notable politicians who did not sign, then that's appropriate too. Also, a summary of the manifesto itself should be in the Misplaced Pages article. Interested in writing it? Cheers, -] 21:53, Mar 9, 2005 (UTC)

==Request for AMA Assistance on ]==
After reading your request for AMA assistance and the original article, I would be willing to listen and possibly assist you through your goals with this article. Please contact me at my talk page for further assistance. - ] 02:46, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
:Thanks for being expedient. Do you have access to Instant Messenger or IRC so that we may collaborate? I've read the articles but would like to hear what you have to say in conversational form. ] 04:29, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
:In the meantime, here's what I see to your question and what course of action I suggest -
*The deletions in the target article ] mainly have to do with leaving the criticism area of the article blank or links to what I presume are your own personal blog. As you may or may not know, Misplaced Pages does not permit original research - Misplaced Pages only permits primary or secondary sources to my knowledge, that way we as editors may verify it. Misplaced Pages is not a place to publish your own content, like a blog - it is an encyclopedia written by all, and I believe one of the comments to you on the talk page referenced that, albeit in an interesting, yet possibly condescending tone.
*The talk page commentary that you have gone through mainly is stating that although your point is valid, it does not belong within the article that you're trying to place it in. I noticed that your major premise for placing your notice within the Tribunal article is a footnote from Gulag Archipelago alone, and not major critical analysis or primary/secondary sourcing from the original author. If several different authors can be shown to say that one of the author's points in Gulag Archipelago was to point at the Russell Tribunal, so be it. Then it can be included.


{| style="width: 100%;"
These are the major points that are being made, I feel, and if we can find more primary sourcing that would indicate that this was some of the author's intent, then we can include it in the Tribunal article. If not, perhaps your contribution can find a place with the Gulag Archipelago entry.

Juhayman al-Otaybi wikipedia page having a tag Infobox criminal, I want to include his education as 'Islamic University of Madinah' at the right side, could not edit the article at the right side, just I has made the changes to the main article. . Juhayman al-Otaybi neither represented to Umm Al-Qura University nor he was student.

Saw your post about wanting to re-work the IMF article w/out going through the cumbersom add/change/rv/talk process. In similar cases, I've found putting draft re-write in my user space to be very helpful. I can work on it, then post a link to it from the real page's talk page, allowing other users to comment/edit my draft version. It allows consensus to be reached more easily, b/c only those people who are really interested will take time to work on the draft copy stored in your user space. Once the draft stabilizes, do a massive overwrite of the original article w/ the new consensus version. There will be enough "consensus inertia" built up that your big changes are likely to remain unless you've added significant bias/POV to the new version. ] 19:29, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Hi. Unfortunately we don't have any kind of archived record to verify that you are also User:RobSmith at Conservapedia, since your userpage has been deleted. I went through the internet archives to look at every archived version of your userpage and didn't find anything in the snapshots they had stored.

In contemporaneous corroboration the researcher or investigator must put out of his mind any conclusions he may be aware of, so as not to discolor his judgement. For example, everyone knows the verdict of history as to who won ]. Now if the investigator begins with the conclusionary premise: "How did this come about?", he is using the "reverse method", seeking out facts to support his conclusion, and perhaps overlooking evidence of enormous consequence.

] has often been criticized in recent years as an effort to "rewrite history". Critics of ] for example claim it is nothing more than an effort to rewrite ] and attack upon ] or other commonlly held repsected accomplishments and achievements. While at the same time many of these same critics call for revision of ] in light of the ] Papers. Revisionism is neither good or bad, it is a constant process.

The contemporaneous method seeks to "live the life" of the event, beginning at a point in time and moving forward. The reverse method begins with a conclusion and works backward. And beginning with a conclusion, often arrives at the same result (one wonders why, having known in advance the result, someone would spend the time running in circles).

Contemporaneous method was demonstrated and popularized several years ago with the ] tlevision documentary of Kevin Burns, ], an achievement in that medium for using historical narrative and still photography. Instead of traditional recreations by actors and set designers, the text was carried forward by studied historians speaking "in the present tense"--narrating events 130 years prior. This may have sounded peculiar to the lay audience yet employed the exact terms, form and method historians use to gain the time depth perception lacking when "looking back at events" lacking in the revers method.

For years after the TV event, it became fashionable for cop shows, both ] (Hollywood Screeen Writers Guild) and ''Reality shows'', to show "real time" investigationors recreating events of homicides and discussing sequences using the contemporaneous method--in the present tense--about past events, ignoring any judgementor conclusion already obvious. And the methods purpose is obvious, to gain a greater understanding of the contemporaneous event leading to the conclusion, not the conclusion itself.

The Tribunal page on its face, i.e. using the scroll bar, is improperly researched. Beginning and ending with a conclusion, it may persuade a partisan juvenile to a particular POV, but to a serious researcher it obviously would be the last place to begin researching the Russell Tribunal. It's not worth delving into seeing the conclusion is foretold, its lack of evidence, reliability of sources, etc. While on its face sections do appear to be reprints of ], most probably are, the evidence is overwhelming that it is a mere "propaganda piece" -- the precise charge levelled against the original Russell event in 1967, and not a serious study of facts in evidence.

The origin MAY have been in Iraq, but Iranian Shi'as are quick to point out that the Shi'a movement has evolved since those days. For example, after every friday prayer in Iran, the public shouts the slogan: "We are not the Shi'as of Kufa who left Ali alone". Kufa, in those days, was the Shi'a center of Iraq, if it ever had one. But I think the statements made in item 1 are generally accepted. Qum however was colonized. It had an indigenous population before the Arab arrival.

== WikiProject Military history coordinator election ==
One thing Ive heard alot in Iran is that they say that although Iran was a majority-wise Sunni country during these ages, yet Iranians felt a unique sense of sympathy for Ali and his Ahlul-bayt. i.e. they were Shi'a at heart. So there wasnt much of a big transition when the Safavids came around. But this is of course what I have "heard", mind you.

Im not sure what is meant by "the idea of Persian nationality was in due course created". I recall The Samanids and the Persian revivalist movements (that resulted in the Shah Nama) from several centuries earlier. However, The Safavids are

Also, the Safavid event wasnt really the first of its kind. Things were not so cut and dry to make the conclusions made here. For example, I have a copy of a book written during the time of Nizam ul-Molk, the great Seljuk Vizier, which shows that there was extensive debate going on between Shi'as and Sunnis in the court of Sultan MalekShah, with the Shi'as having the upper hand.

Shi'ism may have opposed sufism, but in many ways it absorbed it too. What is the textbook "Al-Mafatih" but a collection of dhikrs? There is extensive overlapping between Shi'ism and Sufism, in my opinion. And besides, as I said, there has been lots of evolution been going on during these times.

I would also agree that "Shi'ism was not a natural outcome or expression of the national Iranian genius". Iranians were (and still are) philosophical renegades. They tend to rise out of the mold defined for them, and come up with new, often heretical interpretations of religion. Maybe that's why the aspect of 'aql is so emphasized by the Shi'a.

I think Shi'ism was not created by Iranians, but it certainly has strings attached to it.

== WikiProject Military history coordinator election ==

Thanks for all the hard work. I think the best solution to the ballot box stuffing that just occurred is to publicize that this vote is going on. As noted on the ] page I posted a notice about it to the Misplaced Pages survey announcements page. Prior to the stuffing incident, almost all of the votes came from either current participants in the discussion there or the VfD link. This had the result of giving a slight majority to BC/AD, and voting patterns were fairly randomly distributed with it. Something seemed fishy when all of a sudden about 7 votes in a row go in favor of CE/BCE. Sure enough, the very same guy who was expressing his surprise that the tide of the vote had turned in an attempt to malign another editor had orchestrated the whole thing. The best way to handle these types of situations is to make them public. Jayjg doesn't like the fact that I aired his laundry and naturally he will attack me and attempt to backtrack over it. But the fact that it is being aired is more than enough to cast doubt upon the way he conducts himself here. BTW, have you noticed just how vile and bilious the pro-CE crowd is in general? Between all the personal insults, attacks on motives, unilateral edits, general disregard and contempt they show for consensus, 3RR violations, and now ballot box stuffing one's really gotta wonder... ] 05:27, 11 May 2005 (UTC)

If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request ]. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the ] and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia.

Currie seems to have been involved in carrying out orders from Roosevelt to get U.S. intelligence services to return Soviet cryptographic documents to the Soviet Union and to cease decoding operations, and he seems to have spoken of it to colleagues, including William Yandell Elliott. Both Currie and White helped Silvermaster keep his job on more than one occasion in 1942 and 1943 when he was attacked for being a communist, though it is reasonable to suppose that they did so because they believed him innocent of any wrongdoing-even if he was sympathetic to leftist and communist causes. (The main reason Silvermaster had come under suspicion was his active involvement in the labor movement in California in the 1930s, in which he associated with leading members of the CPUSA.) And the Soviet Union no doubt found much to like in some of the policy positions taken by Currie and White, even if those positions were taken in order to further U.S. interests. Nothing in this story provides credible evidence of espionage or of an effort to undermine U.S. interests.

Aileron occured in the Venona traffic and was identified as Abraham George Silverman. The “D.” first initial given here may be an error or perhaps based on Silverman generally being known as “George Silverman.” The first letter of the name “George” is rendered in Russian by a Cyrillic letter that is usually Latinized as “Dzh.”

Thank you for your comment. A little background - I first encountered willmcw a few days after I joined wikipedia and we had an extended but mostly friendly dispute over an article's content that resulted in a peaceful resolution. Despite this, he's gradually adopted a very bad habit of wikistalking against myself and, as I understand it, a few other editors who have similarly clashed with him in the past. He takes it upon himself to personally screen and edit virtually everything I do on wikipedia, seldom for any legitimate reason. He likes to delete factual information that doesn't conform to his POV under the guise of claiming that it is "unsourced" even when the statement's factuality is obvious or well documented (though he adds all sorts of truly unsourced material favorable to his own POV without any concern). Sometimes its downright bizarre and he deletes or edits something I've added in a way that belittles its significance even despite a source - which he's very briefly opened and misread or misconstrued, only to transpose that same misconstruction into the deletion or edit. I've seen this happen dozens of times, and it always ends with him being shown that his edits are made erroniously then backing down. I won't abstain from doing this where necessary, but it's terribly time consuming and very deconstructive to wikipedia when I have to personally justify each and every major edit I make to a self-appointed wikistalker who also happens to suffer from severe reading comprehension problems that frequently lead him to misconstrue plainly written wordings and source materials if and when he doesn't agree with their implications or, more commonly, he has some sort of personal fixation against the editor who made them.


Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.<!-- Template:afd notice --> ] (]) 17:46, 22 August 2019 (UTC)
When he can't find a reason to delete something I've added, his personality type nevertheless drives him to make unnecessary copyedits that simply shift sentences around or delete links he doesn't personally like, all with very little value to the article itself. I've seen this type before & its almost always an obsessive-compulsive personality that always needs to get the "last word" in or make the "last change" even if it isn't of any real value. Since, for whatever reason, he's "selected" me among the subjects of his wikistalking, I have come to expect that just about anything I do here will be responded to with a deconstructive edit by him in a matter of hours. It doesn't matter what subject or area the article is in - I could start an article on the ] and he'd be there within a few hours rearranging the thing - not because there's anything wrong with the article per se, but because I'm the one who edited it and he has this bizarre "need" to screen everything I've added here (and yes, willmcw - I am stating this in detail since I know you will probably be reading this post as you commence your daily wikistalking of me). It's also produced a very bizarre situation on wikipedia whenever I've become involved in disputes with other editors on an article, as willmcw has taken it upon himself to follow me to those disputes and side with the other person regardless of the article's topic, apparently for no other reason than the fact that I'm involved. The entire Houston Chronicle dispute is one such example. Willmcw has no real interest in the Houston Chronicle and seemingly knows next to nothing about it or any of the controversies it's involved in, but once Katefan let him know that I was there he jumped in for no other reason than to advocate her side. He's done the same thing in several other completely unrelated cases where I've differed with another editor - votes, VfD's, you name it! For a while I've generally tolerated it and responded in kind, but his etiquette abuses are approaching the level of personal harassment so the gloves are coming off, hence my comments yesterday.

:::FYI - it appears that Willmcw has asked one of his buddies, SlimVirgin, to nominate him for administrator. This same administrator reacted very irrationally and defensively after I put forth my complaint about Willmcw's behavior last week, effectively insisting that since what I described of Willmcw was not the Willmcw "he knew" all my evidence should be ignored.

::::I realize it's unwinnable right now to stop his nomination, but it's something that needs to be in the record. Any reconciliation that could've occured between this particular editor and myself perhaps a couple weeks ago has effectively been spoiled by our recent chain of disputes and his attempt to initiate RfC proceedings against me for stating a valid complaint with his editing behavior. I believe that if granted administrator powers (which appears to be the case) he will be prone to abusing them in the event we have future disputes. Maybe he'll prove me wrong but experience is the only thing I've got to go on with this one. It also troubles me that he answered an explicit question asking if he'd been involved in major editor disputes before and remained completely silent about both the Houston Chronicle and the RfC etc. incidents that took place only last week.

The file ] has been ]&#32;because of the following concern:
:I'm sorry if that is the impression, and I will be happy to work with you to achieve a NPOV vis-a vis ]. However this matter relates to the entire period of American history, basically from 1921 onwards (see ]). Clearly, Truman was no communist symapthizer, witness ], ] etc. However, the primary source to gain proper perspective is , where we see Venona project evidence was kept secret from President Truman himself, which explains why he went ahead with the appointment of White. (See also ] for the basic thesis, that while it was true a large Soviet appartus existed in D.C. in the 1930s & 40s, McCarthy began with a half truth and went after the wrong people. Most probably because in his perception, the FBI wasn't doing anything about it. Hence the real significance of the FBI Venona file pgs. 61-75). All this information needs to be inserted properly throughout a host of articles). Trust me, I am no defender of McCarthy and not a critic of Truman, but it seems while McCarthy persecuted innocent people, many of the truelly guilty have been able to hide & escape on the cloak of being McCarthyite victims. For now, until you have had time to examine the documents, to achieve a NPOV, I propose removing the ] reference in the ] article to where it can be reinserted later after the pre-McCarthy Venona material is properly handled. Thanks. ] 17:14, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
<blockquote>unused, low-res, no obvious use</blockquote>
::If you want to remove stuff, that's fine. That being said, I will admit a considerable lack of knowledge about the Venona files. In particular, I don't feel that I have enough specific background in this stuff to be able to read the document you give me and have any understanding of what it means in context. I would greatly appreciate a scholarly secondary source from the last decade or so that discusses the question of White's involvement with the communists. ] ] 17:29, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
::I don't like that version, either. Among other things, it implies that it is uncontroversial to say he was involved in espionage. Given the link you sent me from cooperativeindividualism.org, which I am in the process of reading, it seems to me that this is questionable. I think the minimum that that article admits about White should certainly be put in - that he employed a good number of communists in the Treasury, and was friends with various known communist spies; that he was almost certainly very loose with his tongue, and didn't see any problem with telling his communist underlings about his work; that he is mentioned in the Venona dispatches. Beyond that, it seems to be disputed - certainly, Boughton and Sandilands dispute it, and they seem to be relatively reputable sources. I think it is absolutely key that the various different explanations for White's behavior be brought in, and that we not just say he was a spy. ] ] 18:17, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:::Nobs, the question is not what you or I or the NSA think (obviously you and the NSA think that White is guilty; I don't really feel like I know enough to say one way or the other.) The question is if there is a legitimate dispute over whether or not he is guilty, or if it is generally accepted that he is guilty. Again, I don't feel that I am necessarily up on this enough to say for sure, but the existence of an article by seemingly serious people which argues that he isn't guilty suggests that there is still some dispute (Could one at this point find similar articles about ], for instance?) As to the IMF, considering that, per our article, they moved his bust to the basement, I don't see that they would necessarily be likely to defend White. Once again, the existence of a relatively non-partisan account of this would make deciding this much easier. ] ] 19:08, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
::Well, the ] is the sore point of partisan dispute in the United States now for two generations. ], indeed can be seen as a political vendetta by Hiss defenders against ], who rose from an obscure congressman to the Presidency by sending Alger Hiss, the first ] of the ] to ] because of his ] ] activities which resulted in the ] at the ]. All those issues can be dealt with there when the time comes. What is particularly dispicable about some of these characters (like Hiss), is that rather than admit to his own complicity, he was willing to cast aspersions upon people around him & subordinates who trusted him until he died in 1992. These questions are all actively being debated on those talk pages. The question of Harry White giving Soviet intelligence stolen templates to conterfeit US currency is indisputable, and doesnt pass the anti-fascist test. As to separating White from Truman, because Truman truelly was in the dark about his complicity, which led to 50 years of lies and distortions, and partisan bitterness in the United States (see ]), again let me refer you to the FBI Venona file pgs. 61-75, which needs to placed in Wikisource. ] 19:24, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)


You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your ] or on ].
Here's another source , a book by R. Bruce Craig, which also seems to suggest that White has not been proven to be a communist spy. As to the counterfeit US currency thing, what is your source for this? (And the Nixon and Hiss thing - well, I think I'll do best just to pretend you didn't say that). My point about Hiss was that you will not find scholars today who are willing to defend Hiss. This does ''not'' seem to be the case with White. ] ] 19:29, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:, an official State Department/CIA historian, seems more convinced by the Venona stuff that White is guilty, but he doesn't seem to think that Craig's argument is beyond the pale, and generally seems to respect Craig's work, even while disagreeing with him. The Washington Post review reprinted on Amazon is much more negative, but I don't know anything about Ted Morgan. Some of the points, though, seem pretty specious. The Library Journal also gave what appears to be a favorable review, and there are quotes from various luminaries on the back praising the book. It seems to me that this suggests, at least, that there is still a legitimate dispute on the subject of White's guilt. ] ] 19:39, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I myself encountered such activity as this when I was a newbie on the Talk:Russell_Tribunal/Archive1 page , where the Archived reference material had repeatedly be reworked to where ] reverted his own signature, then some anonymous poster assumed my personal name (Rob) that a mediator there used onetime, and applied to all ] postings on that page.

Well, shooting from the hip from memory, I requested mediation through ] and communicated with him via private e-mail, at which time I told him my first name in real life is "Rob". During a three way conversation between you, myself & ] he referred to me as "Rob", not "nobs". Shortky thereafter, Anon:Rob joined the conversation, who was not myself. I tried to insert that into the record, and even for extensive lengths of time refrained from inputting into the discussion between ] & "Rob", so as not to confuse things even more. Then a series of reversions were done, plus archiving etc., and frankly it got all fucked up. I don't think it's possible to restore the original (beyond my limited talents), but 97.8% of the substance of the issues as relates to the article is there, minus some useless bullcrap. I looked at it a few days ago, and like I said, while it doesnt reflect 100% of the sequence, it's not that badly butchered. I'm still a relative newbie, and one of these days I'll have to take a few hours to learn how to archive myself. But frankly, I don't know what I can do for you now, not without instruction.

"According to ''USA Today'' and the ''Washington Post'', a witchhunt brought against brokers in the ] industry, which has already cost the industry $3 billion, the only person ever charged was exonerated by a jury on June 10, 2005. "


== FBI files? ==
I removed it because of the following:
* Violates ]: Uses blatantly loaded language ("witch-hunt") and slanting the facts (states "cost the industry $3 billion" without noting that this is restitution to mutual fund shareholders).
* Is factually incorrect: You state that "the only person ever charged was exonerated by a jury." That is just factually wrong, according to your own source (a Washington Post article). That article says the following, and I quote verbatim - "The probe yielded '''six guilty pleas'''" This means that not one, but ''seven'' brokers were charged with crimes. Six plead guilty right off the bat. One (Sihpol) decided to roll the dice on a trial, and was found not guilty. End of story.


In the first post-creation editing of the ] article, which you started some time ago, you included as sources three FBI FOIA files. I have been unable to find an online source for these files.

In spite of this Philip, within two years, was at the Library of Congress and, during the war, was with the OSS (forerunner of the CIA). Mary Jane, meanwhile, was at the Bureau of Economic Warfare during the war and subsequently became part of the U.S. delegation at the United Nations.


''']''': Our June copy-editing blitz is underway and will conclude on 26 June.
Following World War II, Keeney's wife Mary Jane traveled to Europe with an American reparations mission and met Teresa Andres for the first time. Sadly, the Spanish librarian who had struggled through two wars died shortly after this meeting. The Keeney's, along with other members of the PLC, continued to send money and clothing to Emilio and his young son. (5)

Since the PLC barely existed after the war, it would be more accurate to say that alumni of the organization continued to send contributions. In the June 1944 issue of the PLC Bulletin (the last number published), Mary Jane Keeney outlined the difficulties of sustaining the organization: despite the "official" pro-peace stance of the PLC, many members had joined the armed services or had left librarianship to accept war-related jobs. The Keeneys themselves had obtained non-librarian employment in government. Just as importantly, with the suspension of ALA conferences for the years 1943 through 1945, the PLC lost its annual opportunity to bring members together for face-to-face meetings. They managed to convene again at the Buffalo conference in 1946, but apparently for the last time. (6)

:When Jack Horner who has been a correspondent in Washington and other places around the world, retired after 40 years, he once told me that if I thought that the White House Press Corps asked tough questions, I should hear the kind of questions the managing editors asked him. Consequently, I welcome this opportunity tonight to meet with the managing editors of the Nation's newspapers. I will not have an opening statement because I know, with 400 of you, it will be hard to get through all of the questions you have. And I understand the President has a prerogative of asking the first question. Mr. Quinn

Franklin answered, "A republic, sir, if you can keep it ". Mr, President, in the prevailing pessimism of the lingering matter we call Watergate, can we keep that republic, sir, and how?

:THE PRESIDENT. Well, Mr. Quinn, I would certainly not be standing here answering these questions unless I had a firm belief that we could keep the republic, that we must keep it, not only for ourselves, but for the whole world. I recognize that because of mistakes that were made, and I must take responsibility for those mistakes, whether in the campaign or during the course of an administration, that there are those who wonder whether this republic can survive. But I also know that the hopes of the whole world for peace, not only now but in the years to come, rests in the United States of America. And I can assure you that as long as I am physically able to handle the position to which I was elected, and then reelected to last November, I am going to work for the cause of peace in the world, for the cause of prosperity without war and without inflation at home. And also, to the best of my ability, to restore confidence in the White House, and in the President himself. It is a big job, but I think it can be done, and I intend to do it.

:In reply to the query, he said he paid $79,000 in income tax in 1969 and "nominal amounts" in the next two years. Why the nominal amounts? he asked. "It wasn't because of the deductions for shall we say a cattle ranch or interest or you know all the gimmicks that you've got where you can deduct from." But because his predecessor Lyndon Johnson "came in to see me shortly after I became President" and suggested he take a legal deduction from his income tax for his vice presidential papers, as Johnson had with most of his Presidential papers. He did this, Nixon said, his papers being appraised at $500,000, "many believe conservatively, at the moment," he added. He would be glad to have the papers back, he said, and pay the tax, "because I think they're worth more than that."

:Q Mr. President, I am George Gill of the Louisville ''Courier-Journal'' Would you please tell us, sir, when did you personally discover that two of the nine subpoenaed White House tapes did not exist, and why did you apparently delay for a matter of weeks disclosing this matter to the Federal court and to the public?


<div style="float:right; width: 75px; height: 60px;"></div>
:THE PRESIDENT. Well, the first time that the fact that there were no recordings of the two conversations to which you referred—that they did not exist—came to my attention on approximately September 29 or September 30. At that time, I was informed only that they might not exist because a search was not made, because seven of the nine recordings requested did exist, and my secretary, listening to them for me and making notes for me, proceeded to go through those seven tapes I should point out, incidentally, that the two which did not exist, in which there were no tape recordings of the conversations, were not ones that were requested by the Senate committee, and consequently, we felt that we should go forward with the ones that were requested by both the Senate committee and the others. When we finally determined that they could not be in existence was on October 26 of this year. And we learned it then when I directed the White House Counsel, Mr. Buzhardt, to question the Secret Service operatives as to what had happened to make sure that there might not be a possibility, due to the fact that the mechanism was as not operating properly, that we might find them in some other place. He questioned them for 2 days and reported on the 27th that he could not find them He then, having had a date made—and he asked for the date sooner with Judge Sirica, he asked for a date on Thursday, you may recall I pointed that out in my press conference on the 96th—Judge Sirica saw him on Tuesday in camera. The White House Counsel reported to Judge Sirica that the two tapes did not exist and gave him the reasons for it. The judge decided, and I think quite properly, that the reasons for the tape not existing should he made public and those involved with access to the tapes and those who operated the machines should be questioned so that there would he no question of the White House, somebody around the President, or even the President himself, having destroyed evidence that was important even though the Senate committee had not, as I have alreay pointed out, subpoenaed either of these two tapes. And since we ale on this subject, and I do not want to he taking all of the time on it except that I know there is going to be enormous interest in it, not only among this audience here, but among our television viewers, let me point this out; I have done everything that I possibly can to provide the evidence that would have existed had we found the tapes: First, with regard to the tape of June 20, as you may recall, it was a 5-minute telephone conversation with the former Attorney General, John Mitchell, who had just left as campaign manager or was planning to leave as campaign manager at that time. I have a practice of keeping a personal diary—I can assure you not every day—Sometimes you are too tired at the end of a day to either make notes or dictate it into a dictabelt. On that particular day I happened to have dictated a dictabelt, and on the dictabelt for June 90, which I found, I found that I had referred to the conversation to John Mitchell, and I think it is fair to disclose to this audience what was there because it will be disclosed to the court It has already been offered to the court and eventually I assume will he made public. It said, first that T called John Mitchell to cheer him up because I knew he was terribly disheartened by what had happened in the so-called Watergate matter Second. He expressed chagrin to me that the organization over which he had control could have gotten out of hand in this way That was what was on that tape. Now, turning to the one on April 15, I thought I might have a dictabelt of that conversation as well Let me tell you first why the telephone conversation was not recorded. not because of any deliberate attempt to keep the recording from the public, hut because the only telephones in the residence of the White House which are recorded—the only telephone, there is only one, is the one that is in the office, the little Lincoln Sitting Room right off the Lincoln Bedroom The call I made to John Mitchell was made at the end of the day at about 6:30 just before going into dinner from the family quarters, and no telephones in the family quarters ever were recorded. That is, why the recording did not exist. Turning to April 15, the conversation referred to there was at the end of the process in which Mr. Dean came in to tell me what he had told the U. S. attorneys that day. He saw me at 9 o'clock at night, Sunday night. There should have been a recording Everybody thought there probably was a recording The reason there was not a recording is that the tape machines over the weekend only can carry 6 hours of conversation and usually that is more than enough. because I do not use the EOB office that is, the Executive Office Building office rather than the Oval Office over the weekend to that extent. But that weekend I was in the EOB for a long a with Dr. Kissinger on foreign policy matters I was there for 9 other hours, or 9 or 3 other hours, and the tape ran out in the middle of a conversation with Mr. Klein- in the middle of the afternoon, Sunday afternoon. And a later conversation I had, the rest of Kleindienst's conversation, a later conversation I had also with Mr. l'ctcrse n, and the conversation at 9 o'clock at night with. Dean was not there. So I tried to find whatever recording whatever record that would help the prosecutor in th is instance to reconstruct the evidence, because it was the evidence that he was after and not just the tape. What I found was not a dictabelt What I found was my handwritten notes made at the time of the conversation I have turned those over to or have authorized my counsel to turn those notes over to the judge, so that he can have them checked for authenticity, and I understand there are ways that he can tell that they were written at that time. Those handwritten notes are available. And then I did one other thing which I think will also he helpful The next day I had a conversation with Mr Dean in the morning at 10 o'clock That conversation was recorded, and in that conversation there are repeated references to what was said the night before, and when compared with my handwritten notes it is clear that we are discussing the same subjects. That entire tape as well as the conversation I had in the afternoon with Mr. Dean for about 20 minutes will he made available to the court even though the court has not subpoenaed them I would just simply say in conclusion you can he very sure that this kind of a subject is one that is a difficult one to explain It appears that it is impossible that when we have an Apollo system that we could have two missing tapes when the White House is concerned Let me explain for one moment what the system w as This is no Apollo system I found that it cost—I just learned this—$2 500 I found that instead of having the kind of equipment that was there when President Johnson was there which was incidentally much better equipment but I found—-and I am not saying that critically—hut I found that in this instance it was a Son a little Sony that they had and that what they had are these little lapel mikes in my desks And as a result the conversations in the Oval Officel, the conversations in the Cabinet Room, and particularly those in the EOB, those are the three rooms, only those three rooms where they recorded—for example, the Western White House had no recording equipment and my house in Key Biscayne had(l none—but as far as those particular recordings are concerned the reason that you have heard that there are difficulties in hearing them is that the system itself W;1$ not a sophisticated system I do not mean to suggest by that that the judge by listening to them will not he able to get the facts and I would simply conclude by saying this, I think I know what is on these tapes from having listened to some those before March 21. And also from having seen from my secretary's notes the highlights of others And I call assure you that those tapes when they are presented to the judge and, I hope, eventually to the grand jury, and I trust in some way we can find a way at least to get the substance to the American people, they will prove these things without question. One, that I had no knowledge Whatever of the Watergate break-in before it occurred. Two, that I never authorized the offer of to anybody and, as a matter of fact, turned it down when it was suggested It was not recommended by any member of my staff but it was, on occasion, suggested as a result of news reports that clemency might become a factor. And third, as far as any knowledge with regard to the payment of blackmail money, which, as you recall, was the charge that was made, that Mr. Hunt's attorney had asked for $ 190,000 in money to he paid to him or he would tell things about members of the White House Staff, not about Watergate, that might be embarrassing. Testimony had been given before the Senate committee that I was told that before the 21st of March, actually told it on the 13th of March. I know I heard it for the first time the 21 st of of March, and I will reveal this much of the conversation—I am sure the judge wouldn't mind—I recall very well Mr. Dean, after the conversation began, telling me, 'Mr. President, there are some things about this I haven't told you I think you should know them'. And then he proceeded then for the first time to tell me about that money. Now, I realize that some will wonder about the truth of these particular statements that I have made I am going to hand out later—I won't hand them out, but I will have one of our executives hand out my May 22 statement, my August 15 statement, and one with regard to these two tapes You can believe them if you want—I can tell you it is the truth because I have listened to or have had knowledge of from someone I have confidence in, as to what is in the tapes.

{{Center|{{spaces|17|em}}'''Current and upcoming events'''}}

likely, perhaps somebody on the President's staff, knew there was something on those tapes that it wouldn't be wise to get out. But let me point out again, while I was disappointed, let me say I would have been a lot more disappointed if the tapes that had been considered impeachabele by both Mr. Cox, the Special Prosecutor and the Ervin committee, if any one of those had been missing because I should point out the tape of September 15 when as you recall, has been testified that I was first informed there was a coverup—that, of course, is there the tape of March 13, where it has l)been testified, as I pointed out in the answer to the Louisville Courier-Journal where it has been testified that l was informed then of the demands for money for purposes of blackmail, that is available And the tape of March 21, where we discussed this in great detail, as well as three other tapes in which Mr Dean participated, three other conversations, are all available. But as far as these two tapes are concerned, even though they were not considered by the Ervin committee to be an indispensable part of their investigation, the fact that they were not there was a great disappointment, and I just wish we had had a better system—I frankly wish we hadn't had a system at all, then I wouldn't have to answer this question.

{{Center|'''Other news'''}}
:THE PRESIDENT: First with rEgard to whether the investigation is complete. As you know, there is now a new Special Proscutor, Mr. Jaworski. He is a Democrat. He has always supported the Democratic ticket. He is a highly respected lawyer, former president of the ABA in the year 1971. I have met him. I have never talked to him personally, and certainly have never talked to him about this matter. I refuse to because I want him to be completely independent. He cannot be removed unless there is a consensus of the top leadership of both the House and Senate, Democrat and Republican, the Speaker and the Majority and Minority Leaders of the House and the President ''Pro Tem'', the Majority and Minority Leaders of the Senate. And the ranking two members of the Judiciary Committees of both the House and Senate, which, incidentally, gives you, as you can see, a very substantial majority, as far as the Democrats are concerned. The second point, and the point I am trying to make is, one, he is qualified; two, he is independent and will have cooperation; and three, he will not be removed unless the Congress, particularly the leaders of the Congress, and particularly the Democratic leaders who have a strong majority on this group that I have named, agree that he should be removed. And I do not expect that that time will come. As to what I can tell the American people, this is one forum, and there may be others As to what the situation is as to when it call be done, it is. of course necessary to let the grand jury proceed as quickly as possible to a conclusion and I should point out to you, as you may recall Mr. Petersen testified before the Ervin committee that when he was removed from his position—you recall he was removed in April and a Special Prosecutor was put in—that the case was 90 percent ready For 6 months, under the Special Prosecutor who was then appointed, the case has not been brought to a conclusion. And I think that now after 6 months of delay, it is time that the case I c brought to a conclusion If it was 90 percent finished in April, they ought to be able to finish now. Those who are guilty, or presumed to he guilty, should be indicted. Those who are not guilty at least should get

This change added 198 articles, spread over 97 months of backlog, to our queue. We processed all of those articles except for those from the three or four most recent months during the July backlog elimination drive (Here's a ]).
:Q Mr. Presidents I'm Bob Haiman from the ''St. Petersburg Times'' in St Petersburg Florida When Mr. Ehrlichman and Mr. Halderman left your administration you said they were guilty in the Watergate affair, and they were, quote, 'two of the finest public servants you had ever known' end quote. After what has transpired and been revealed since then, do you still feel the same way about both men and both, statments.


'''Progress report:''' As of 18:26, 24 September 2021 (UTC), GOCE copyeditors have processed 468 <!--221+179+66+2--> requests since 1 January and there were 60 requests awaiting completion on the ]. The backlog of articles tagged for copy-editing stood at 433 (see monthly progress graph above).
THE PRESIDENT First, l hold that both men and
others who have been charged are guilt! until l have
evidence that they are not guilty and I know that every
newspaper man and newspaper woman ill this whole audience would
agree with that statement That is our American system
Second, A[r Haldeman and Mr. Ehrlichman had been and
were dedicated, fine public servants, and I believe, it is
m! belief based on what I know now, that when these
proceedings are completed that they will come out all
right
On the other hand, they have e appeared before the
grand jury before they will be appearing again, and as I
pointed out in answer to an earlier question, it probably
does not make any difference, unfortunately, whether the
grand jury indicts them or not, whether they are tried or
not, because, unfortunately they have already been
convicted in the minds of millions of Americans by what
happened before a Senate committee
AIR. QUIN 5. 3,I'r President, may I suggest that
you may have misspoke yourself when you said that you
assumed Haldeman and Ehrlichman are considered guilty
until proven not guilty
THE PRESIDENT. Yes, I certainly did, if I said
that— thank you for correcting me
Q. Richard Smyser, from The Oak Ridger in Oak
Ridge, Tennessee Senator Mark Hatfield said recently
that we demand so much of a President, we ask him to
play so many roles that no man can hold that kind of
responsibility without having to share that responsibility
with all Americans
To what extent do you think that this explains possibly
how something like Watergate can occur?
THE PRESIDENT I could stand here before this
audience and make all kinds of excuses, and most of you
probably would understand because you are busy also '7'7
was a very busy year for me It w was a year when we had
the visit to China, it was a year when we had the visit to
Moscow and the first limited nuclear ban on defensive
weapons, you recall, as well as some other very
significant events
It was a year too when we had the very difficult
decisions on May! 8, the bombing and mining of Hai- and
then the negotiations and then in T)ceemher of course,
the very very difficult—perhaps the most difficult—
decision I made of the De( c mber bombing, which did
lead to the breakthrough and the uneasy peace hut it is
peace with . all of the Ame( ricans home, all of our PO\
N"s home, and peace at least for a w while in that pe riod
Now, during that period of time, frankly, l didn't manage
the campaign I didn't run the campaign People around me
didn't bring things to me that they probably should have
because I was frankly just too busy trying to do the
Nation's business to run the polities
My adv ice to all new politicians, incidentally, is
always run your own campaigns I used to run mine and I
was always criticized for it because you know whenever
you lose you are always criticized for running your own
campaign But my point is Senator Hatfield is correct,
whether you are a Senator or a Congressman, you are
sometimes very busy, you don't watch these things When
you are President, you don't watch them as closely as you
might And on that, I say if mistakes are made, however, I
am not blaming the people down below The man at the top
has got to take the heat for all of them
Q May I ask one other question, sir?
T111. PRESID)FNT. Sure
Q DO ^,ou feel that the executive privilege is absolute?
TIIE PRESIDENT XT. 1, of ( course do not I have c
waived C(I ex- privilege with regard to all ( f the(
members of m! staff who have any knowledge(dg( of or
who have had(l an! charges made against th(m in the(
Watergate';wterg;lte matt r I ha x of course voluntarily!
waived((l privilege(".,t' with regard(i to to ning OVUM the
tapes, and so forth
Let me point out it was voluntary on m! part, and
deliberately so to avoid a precedent that might destroy the
principle of confi(lentialit) for future Presidents, which is
terribly important.
If it had gone to the Supreme Court—and I know many
of my friends argued Why! not carry it to the Supreme
Court and let them decide it?"—that would, first, have had
a confrontation with the Supreme Court, between the
Supreme Court and the President And second it would
have established very possibly a precedent a precedent
breaking down constitutionality that • would plague future
Presidencies( not just President
I could just say in that respect too, that I have referred
to what I called the Jefferson rule It is the rule, I think,
that we should generally follow—a President should
follow—with the courts when they want information. and a
President should also follow with committees of Congress,
when they want information from his personal files
Jefferson, as you know, in that very!, very famous ease,
had correspondence w hich it was felt might bear upon the
guilt or innocence of Aaron Burr Chief Justice Marshall,
sitting as a trial judge, held that Jefferson, as President.
had to turn over the correspondence Jefferson refused
What he did was to turn over a summary of the
correspondence, all that he considered was proper to
be turned over for the purposes of the trial
-
And then Marshall, sitting as Chief Justice, ruled for
the President
Now, why did Jefferson do that? Jefferson didn't do that
to protect Jefferson He did that to protect the Presidency
And that is exactly what I will do in these cases It isn't for
the purpose of protecting the President; it is for the purpose
of seeing that the Presidency, where great decisions have
to be made—and great decisions cannot be made unless
there is very free flow of conversation, and that means
confidentiality—I have a responsibility to protect that
Presidency
At the same time, I will do ev erything I can to
cooper
participation
I will come to you next, sorry
* * * * * * * *
Q Mr. President, Larry Allison from the Long Beach,
California, Independent Press-Telegram Back; to
Watergate Former Attorney General John Mitchell has
testified that the reason he did not give you details on the
Watergate problems was that you did not ask him
Now,, I realize that you were very l)usv at that time, as
you said, but there were reports in newspapers that linked
people very high in your staff with Watergate problems l
Could you tell us, sir, why you did not ask; Mr.
Mitchell wh at he knew?
TSIE PRESIDE:NT. For the very simple reason that
when I talked to Mr. Mitchell—and I saw him often in that
period—that I had every reason to believe that if he were
involved, if he had any information to convey, he would
tell me I thought that he would As a matter of fact, when I
called him on the telephone, what did he say—he
expressed chagrin that anything like that could have
happened in his organization
Looking back;, maybe I should have cross-examined
him and said, "John, did you do it?" I probably should
have asked him, but the reason I didn't is that I expected
him to tell me, and he had every opportunity to, and
decided he wouldn t, apparently At least—nosv, that
doesn't mean to tell me that he was involved, because you
understand that is still a matter that is open The question
is Whether he could have told me about other people that
might he involved where he had information where
members of my staff did not have information
Yes, sir

Greetings - as an active participant in the ongoing edits to the ] article, I wanted to inform you that I have started a "Request for Comment" (RfC) proceeding over this article in light of continued disruptive and abusive editing behavior by two other participants there. The RfC is located at the link here . In case you have not participated in an RfC before, it is the first step after the talk page in Misplaced Pages's dispute resolution process for articles in which an agreement cannot be easily reached (outlined at ]). I decided to initiate this RfC over the actions of two users who I believe to be seriously impeding the constructive development of this article into an encyclopedia-quality description of the Ludwig von Mises Institute. In one case the editor's behavior was long term. In the other, the editor responded to negotiation efforts I initiated with him on the talk page with unprovoked personal hostility against me, which in turn led me to first warn him of the potential need for an RfC and then follow through as his belligerence continued. I am hopeful that this process will assist in working out the differences that exist on the LVMI article and help to direct the responsible editors toward making their future contributions in compliance with the neutrality mandate and with other Misplaced Pages standards and policies.

A formatted area is also provided on the RfC for the named editors to respond to the complaint. Thank you for your continued work on the LVMI article and for your patience during this process, as it is my hope that we will be able to produce an agreeable quality product upon its conclusion. ] 00:19, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

Nobs - thanks for your input on this article. As you are probably aware, the Horowitz material I added (which, at least in my opinion, I drafted in a very neutral, reasonable, and thoroughly sourced manner) is under direct assault by both the article's namesake and a small clique of his defenders. Cberlet's own note to his friends tells it all - "Help! Giant Blob of Horowitz hit my page." Note his phrasing "my page" in particular - as if he thinks he owns the thing and gets to decide what to exclude from it! The editors clique in which Cberlet travels is unfortunately doing everything in their power to insulate him from this criticism and bully anybody who challenges their tactics into submission. This is a disturbing development for wikipedia as I have seen this same little clique of the very same editors using collaborative tactics to insulate and sheild their own from criticisms - even when one of their own is clearly in the wrong - in at least three distinct disputes now. I believe it harms the site as a whole because it allows them to get away with things that other editors are rightly prevented from doing. When one of them gets called out for a policy violation on an RfC or something, the rest flood the place in his/her defense no matter how bad the violation was. When critical material gets put into an article about another, they rally to expunge regardless of the proper sourcing. The result is to basically allow each other to get away with breaking the rules!

Right now the Horowitz material is under heavy assault from this clique. Cberlet put out the call and the exact same circle of usual suspects - Willmcw, SlimVirgin, Jayjg, and El_C - responded almost instantaneously. SlimVirgin unilaterally took it upon herself to not simply revise but completely gut the paragraphs on Horowitz. She removed over 2/3rds of the material and chopped down Horowitz's many criticisms of Berlet into a single unrepresentative half-line out of context quotation of him only mildly criticizing Berlet. As you have seen, she not only made this edit but is now - with the help of the same clique - attempting to enforce it upon the article by revert warring any attempt to restore a version that isn't hers. The only thing I know on how to handle clear bullying and POV enforcement such as this is to stand firm and keep citing the applicable Misplaced Pages policies. Thanks ] 07:07, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

== My quick summaries ==

Sorry about my quick "POV vandalism?" edit summaries at ]. You aren't a vandal (as indicated by the ?), but my quick assessment, before checking your record here, was that the edits were like the typical POV edits of uninformed/misinformed people who change content to fit their POV, contrary to the facts and sources. The Trump-Russia investigation was triggered by Trump advisor ]' drunken revelation of the Russian offer of help to the Trump campaign, one of many forms of election interference the Trump campaign gladly accepted without reporting to the FBI. The FISA warrants and other events, such as the Steele dossier and actions of Sussmann and Clinesmith, had nothing to do with that. They are "unrelated" events. The FBI had already accumulated lots of evidence, but they had no clear proof the Trump campaign was knowingly cooperating with that interference and offers of help (which they should have rejected and reported to the FBI). George spilled the beans by providing clear evidence of collusion (not the same as "conspiracy." This gave the FBI probable cause to open the investigation into the ]. Lots of collusion, welcoming, aiding and abetting, cooperating, etc. was going on, but Mueller was never able to find proof of a solid written or oral conspiracy. It probably didn't exist because of Trump's habit of maintaining plausible deniability. Nothing of the kind would ever be clearly stated and never written, and would be unnecessary. A mutual understanding is sufficient and hard to prove, although, long before revealing his plans to Americans, Trump did discuss his plans to run for president with the Russians at the November 2013 Miss Universe contest in Moscow, and they publicly expressed their support and promised to help him. The aid began in 2014 with the launching of hacking and other operations. -- ] (]) (''''']''''') 17:00, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
:Thank you. So the "unrelated" events had nothing to do with "the FBI had already accumulated lots of evidence". Is that a fair synopsis? Thanks again. ] (]) 18:58, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
:: Maybe. Not everything directly or tangentially related to the Russia investigation is related to what triggered/started the investigation. The exact wording is "unrelated to the opening of the FBI's investigation into the Trump campaign." That's the point. -- ] (]) (''''']''''') 19:40, 25 November 2022 (UTC)

Non-Free rationale for File:Lomanitz.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Lomanitz.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under Non-Free content criteria but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Misplaced Pages is acceptable. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a Non-Free rationale.

If you have uploaded other Non-Free media, consider checking that you have specified the Non-Free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 19:21, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

Regarding Education

Juhayman al-Otaybi wikipedia page having a tag Infobox criminal, I want to include his education as 'Islamic University of Madinah' at the right side, could not edit the article at the right side, just I has made the changes to the main article. . Juhayman al-Otaybi neither represented to Umm Al-Qura University nor he was student. But still Google Knowledge base result shows his education refers to Umm Al-Qura University, but has studied through Islamic University of Madinah. Our prime object is we don't want to see him in Google Knowledge base results as Notable Alumni. Please suggest how can we proceed to make the changes.

Copyright problem: Honolulu Record

Hi, I've marked Honolulu Record as a copyright violation because it was originally copied from the Conservapedia article on Koji Ariyoshi and as far as I know we don't accept content copied from Conservapedia. Feel free to contest this at Misplaced Pages:Copyright problems. Dcoetzee 02:13, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

I have also tagged all other articles you've created since 2007 as copyright violations from Conservapedia. I have heard some people say that you are the original contributor of this work at Conservapedia, but I don't know whether this is true or not. If you are, you will need to edit your user page at Conservapedia to confirm that you are the sole author of this content that you copied. Otherwise it will be deleted. Dcoetzee 03:40, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

Verifying identity

Hi. Unfortunately we don't have any kind of archived record to verify that you are also User:RobSmith at Conservapedia, since your userpage has been deleted. I went through the internet archives to look at every archived version of your userpage and didn't find anything in the snapshots they had stored. I see that you are blocked over there; are blocked contributors able to edit their own talk pages as they are here? If so, we might be able to work around this. :) If you could log in there and make a note on your talk page, we may be able to use the archive form at webcitation.org to permanently document the change to the talk page (we should document both the talk page as you have edited it and the history, so that we can demonstrate that you actually edited the page and somebody did not forge your note). I've never used this form, but I understand it's pretty straightforward--just requires putting in the full URL of the site, http:// and all, and an email address, which is not published.

Alternatively, do you know any administrators there who might be willing on my request to temporarily restore the history of your userpage so that I can find and document the verification you already placed? I had a look at the talk page of the admin who deleted it and am not entirely sure he'd be cooperative as he seems a bit inclined to take things personally. --Moonriddengirl 13:58, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

I have done as you suggested. Thank you. nobs (talk) 23:15, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
Fabulous! Thank you very much. I have taken a screenshot of your release and stored it in the OTRS system, so there is now permanent documentation that you are who you say you are. :) It can be accessed when there is need by OTRS agents at Ticket:2011111610024788. Is there any chance you could find some quiet space on your userpage where we can tuck this verification? Since our ticket search system is horrible, it'd save a lot of time in the future if our right to that content is challenged again. :) --Moonriddengirl 11:32, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
Ok, thank you. nobs (talk) 23:00, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Misplaced Pages arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Your contributed article, Jane Foster Zlatovski

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Jane Foster Zlatovski. First, thank you for your contribution; Misplaced Pages relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Jane Foster Zlatovski. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Misplaced Pages. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Jane Foster Zlatovski – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Misplaced Pages looks forward to your future contributions.   Bfpage |leave a message  13:17, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

Please withdraw your nomination for speedy deletion. I am in the process of moving Jane Foster to Jane Foster Zlatovski. There is a slight delay because the move has to be done by an administrator. I tried making the move myself but was informed that the move had to be done by an administrator. If there is another article with this name then of course they have to be merged unless they are two different people. I have already created a disambiguation page for Jane Foster but did not realize that this process could become so convoluted. You may have wanted to check my editing history. If you had, you probably would have noticed that this is not exactly not my first article. New page patrollers need appreciation and so let me express that appreciation for your efforts. The Very Best of Regards,
  Bfpage |leave a message  13:33, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Ilya Wolston

The article Ilya Wolston has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No evidence of notability outside of a single incident, does not meet WP:GNG.

While all constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 18:18, 19 February 2016 (UTC)

Bowling Green

I collapsed your thread at Talk:Bowling Green massacre, as it clearly was not related to improvements to the article. Please do stop the disruptive editing. VQuakr (talk) 18:52, 16 March 2017 (UTC)

Well thank you for a civil response. The only way to improve an article with a deceptive title is a page move. And warning of giving credence to fundraising shysters is hardly disruptive. Nobs01 (talk) 19:46, 16 March 2017 (UTC)
By any chance is this what you are referring to as "fundraising shysters"? VQuakr (talk) 00:47, 17 March 2017 (UTC)
Yes. That prima facia looks like deceptive and fraudulent charitable fundraising activity. The WP article that links to it notes it was created by an "anonymous" source; and it certainly does not serve the ACLU well having its name linked with it. Nobs01 (talk) 22:25, 17 March 2017 (UTC)

Your justification for a paragraph's deletion was wrong

Please see Talk:Richard_A._Clarke#What_a_joke.

You claimed

There is absolutely no evidence for this dubious claim: "Jamie Gorelick, the only member of the 9/11 Commission to read the President's Daily Brief",salon.com reference doesn't even mention Gorelick's name. Look's like this bio page had been hijacked to attack Clarke's enemies who demoted him. nobs (talk) 22:24, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

and then you deleted the paragraph in question.

That old link to the referenced article no longer works, but if you go to a capture on archive.org or the article's new URL at Salon, the article not only does mention Gorelick's name, the very paragraph you deleted was taken verbatim from the Salon article. An easy web search shows it was also reported in the New York Times.

The paragraph couldn't stay as it was in the WP article without rephrasing or at least blockquote attribution, but it's difficult to see how Gorelick's name could be missed by a Ctrl-F of the Salon article.

Greetings,

"Military history" is one of the most important subjects when speak of sum of all human knowledge. To support contributors interested in the area over various language Wikipedias, we intend to form a user group. It also provides a platform to share the best practices between military historians, and various military related projects on Wikipedias. An initial discussion was has been done between the coordinators and members of WikiProject Military History on English Misplaced Pages. Now this discussion has been taken to Meta-Wiki. Contributors intrested in the area of military history are requested to share their feedback and give suggestions at Talk:Discussion to incubate a user group for Misplaced Pages Military Historians.

April 2018 Milhist Backlog Drive

G'day all, please be advised that throughout April 2018 the Military history Wikiproject is running its annual backlog elimination drive. This will focus on several key areas:

  • tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
  • adding or improving listed resources on Milhist's task force pages
  • updating the open tasks template on Milhist's task force pages
  • creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various lists of missing articles.

As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.

The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the scope of military history will be considered eligible. This year, the Military history project would like to extend a specific welcome to members of Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Women in Red, and we would like to encourage all participants to consider working on helping to improve our coverage of women in the military. This is not the sole focus of the edit-a-thon, though, and there are aspects that hopefully will appeal to pretty much everyone.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 April and runs until 23:59 UTC on 30 April 2018. Those interested in participating can sign up here.

                 Current and upcoming events

Election time: Our end-of-year election of coordinators opened for nominations on 1 December and will close on 15 December at 23:59 (UTC).

Self-nominations are welcome. If you've thought of helping out at the Guild, or know of another editor who would make a good coordinator, please consider standing for election or nominating them here.

December Blitz: We have scheduled a week-long copy-editing blitz for 12 to 18 December. Sign up now!

Other news

It is with great sadness that we report the death on 19 November of Twofingered Typist, who was active with the Guild almost daily for the past several years. His contributions long exceeded the thresholds for the Guild's highest awards, and he had a hand in innumerable good and featured article promotions as a willing collaborator. Twofingered Typist also served as a Guild coordinator from July 2019 to June 2021. He is sorely missed by the Misplaced Pages community.

Progress report: As of 30 November, GOCE copyeditors have completed 619 requests in 2021 and there were 51 requests awaiting completion on the Requests page. The backlog stood at 946 articles tagged for copy-editing (see monthly progress graph above).

My quick summaries

Sorry about my quick "POV vandalism?" edit summaries at Michael Sussmann. You aren't a vandal (as indicated by the ?), but my quick assessment, before checking your record here, was that the edits were like the typical POV edits of uninformed/misinformed people who change content to fit their POV, contrary to the facts and sources. The Trump-Russia investigation was triggered by Trump advisor George Papadopoulos' drunken revelation of the Russian offer of help to the Trump campaign, one of many forms of election interference the Trump campaign gladly accepted without reporting to the FBI. The FISA warrants and other events, such as the Steele dossier and actions of Sussmann and Clinesmith, had nothing to do with that. They are "unrelated" events. The FBI had already accumulated lots of evidence, but they had no clear proof the Trump campaign was knowingly cooperating with that interference and offers of help (which they should have rejected and reported to the FBI). George spilled the beans by providing clear evidence of collusion (not the same as "conspiracy." This gave the FBI probable cause to open the investigation into the numerous and proven illicit contacts between Trump associates and known Russian agents and other Russian officials. Lots of collusion, welcoming, aiding and abetting, cooperating, etc. was going on, but Mueller was never able to find proof of a solid written or oral conspiracy. It probably didn't exist because of Trump's habit of maintaining plausible deniability. Nothing of the kind would ever be clearly stated and never written, and would be unnecessary. A mutual understanding is sufficient and hard to prove, although, long before revealing his plans to Americans, Trump did discuss his plans to run for president with the Russians at the November 2013 Miss Universe contest in Moscow, and they publicly expressed their support and promised to help him. Here's an example. The aid began in 2014 with the launching of hacking and other operations. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 17:00, 25 November 2022 (UTC)

Thank you. So the "unrelated" events had nothing to do with "the FBI had already accumulated lots of evidence". Is that a fair synopsis? Thanks again. Nobs01 (talk) 18:58, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
Maybe. Not everything directly or tangentially related to the Russia investigation is related to what triggered/started the investigation. The exact wording is "unrelated to the opening of the FBI's investigation into the Trump campaign." That's the point. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 19:40, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
