Hello, | |||
I already removed it from the KCPT page, realizing that taking a photo of the building myself would be better than using someone else's photos whether it is considered fair use or not. Plus, that photo was of the backside of the building and not the front (a view of the front would be better). Therefore, feel free to remove that photo from this site. It will not be used. --CastleBuff | |||

I like to make clear that I do not support, nor even accept overlooking of racial slurs on Misplaced Pages. They may be used elsewhere, but I support the community sense that they have no place here. If I appeared to be supporting Historiographer, it is simply that I thought there was a plausible case that the words might have been misunderstood. I now know that you are well-acquainted with the history (which was not presented in the original ANI thread, so I defer to your more detailed understanding of the background. I still support the concept of escalating blocks, and think a 3month block following a 72 hour block is a jump too far. I haven't had the "pleasure" of dealing with any of the Korean-Japanese spats, so my view may not be the same as if I had that experience. | |||

: Careful: you have no immunity from him, or others, on public noticeboards. If he uses your contribution list the same way I use those of many others, it's only natural he might see your posting there, and if it's related to a topic of interest to him, he has every right to comment. In this case, he made a matter-of-fact comment, and it was you who personalized the thing with accusations against him. | |||
: Incidentally, my personal opinion happens to be that you are probably also wrong about the question you raised. For a source to be reliable is not the same as for it to have no editorial bias. The ''Middle East Quarterly'' can be a serious academic, peer-reviewed publication, and as such meet our reliability criteria with flying colours, while still having a pronounced political bias. That's no contradiction, because academics out there have no ethical obligation to be "neutral" as we do here on WP. In fact, there is no such thing as a "neutral" source at all. Especially when it comes to topics like history and political science, we should always assume, about any source at all, that it may have some authorial slant, no matter how serious and academic it is. ] ] 18:45, 20 July 2012 (UTC) | |||

Unfortunately, this edit makes numerous mistakes. I would appreciate if you correct it. | |||
*"heavier blows that would be dealt by Iran" - please identify where he said this. If we look at the sources, for example this state owned one, he said "“The enemy deals a blow to the Iranian nations step by step; but, in return, it <i>receives</i> a stronger, heavier blow,” President Ahmadinejad said." Please don't try to distort sources or quotes. | |||
*"oppressors" - violates ] by assuming it's oppressed. The proper thing would be to write "enemies" in quotes, since that's what he said. | |||
*"veiled reference" - please identify where you got the word "veiled" from. | |||
*"speaking about Iran's conflicts with foreign enemies" - please identify where you got this from, or remove it. | |||

: I believe my wording is within the bounds of responsible paraphrasing and, as such, true to the source, albeit less literally than the direct quotations. If you have quibbles with details of wording, feel free to tweak. However, what is non-negotiable is that we must not present his statements as if they were undoubtedly related to the Burgas attacks, as the previous version did. The previous version claimed that he "described the attacks" as an Iranian act. This is quite patently false, as he didn't in fact mention the attacks at all. Do not reinsert any wording of that kind. | |||
: I am giving you notice that I regard this as a ] issue: claiming that a living politician took responsibility for a terrorist act, as the previous version did, is a very serious matter, and falls under the rule that "exceptional claims demand exceptional evidence".

::: Obviously, the version immediately before my edit was saying that he ''described the attack as a "response" to Israeli "blows against Iran"''.

::::Thanks. It's clear though why that statement was made, as that was how an RS outlet reported it. The conflict some people are having is they are looking at the Iranian outlet as the true one, and ignoring anything an Israeli outlet said.

: Looks like a similar problem. Both Ahmadinejad and Nasrallah are presumably people who use this kind of rhetoric about "enemies" and how much trouble they cause them more or less every day. So if they are now saying today pretty much the same thing they would have said a week ago or a year ago or next month, why are we bringing it up here in the context of this article at all? I guess the edit you are referring to is a rather clumsy attempt at fixing this, but the problem the 109.* IP saw seems pretty much the same issue I saw with the Ahmadinejad passage. ] ] 22:51, 20 July 2012 (UTC) | |||
::It's true they do say it often. The reason I believe it was brought up here is because it was said in a speech right after the attack, so it did have relevance, since it was a reaction. "Oh we didn't do it, but how do we react to this attack? Well..." However, unlike the Ahmadinejad one, it specifically mentioned that Nasrallah and Hezbollah did not take responsibility, both during the speech and before the speech.

Note: I like to keep discussion threads together, so if you leave a message here I will usually respond here. If I have begun a discussion on your page, I'll see it if you respond there.
A {{ping}} would be appreciated if you reply at a later date. {{Talkback}} notes here will generally not be needed. Note to new and non-logged-in editors: Due to a long-term issue with vandalism, this talkpage has unfortunately had to be semi-protected. If you need to contact me and can't post here, please just post your message on your own talkpage or the talkpage of the relevant article and add the code "{{ping|Future Perfect at Sunrise}}" to it, then I'll be sure to see it. |

Hello fellow Wikipedians, due to changed circumstances in my private and professional life I am currently hovering somewhere in between "busy in real life and may not respond quickly to inquiries" and "semi-retired". I'll probably be around from time to time, but please don't rely on me for quick admin action or the like, for the time being. All the best, – Fut.Perf. ☼ 05:27, 19 October 2017 (UTC) |
Invitation to participate in a research
Hello,
The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Misplaced Pages, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.
You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.
The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .
Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.
Kind Regards,
BGerdemann (WMF) (talk) 19:22, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

Reverts
If I come across one of their additions to RSN would it be helpful if I pinged you? -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested «@» °∆t° 20:50, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks, but I guess it's enough to get them reverted promptly – if they then start revert-warring it back in, there should be enough admin eyeballs on that page to push the block button eventually, right? It doesn't have to be always me. That person is a pest (I suppose you're familiar with their LTA entry?), thanks for helping deal with them. Fut.Perf. ☼ 23:00, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
- I looked it up after their recent posts, I'll keep an eye out for them. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested «@» °∆t° 23:27, 9 November 2024 (UTC)

The survey is anonymous and should take about 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement.
Take the survey here.
