I noticed your name among the editors of the Sport in Israel article. Would you have any time to improve it?

:I'll have a look, thanks. I need to see if I have time to waste (after all someone might revert it the very next day and we'll revert it back 2 or 3 or 4 years from today when we'll notice it).

So I'll have a look, thanks!! ] (]) 12:41, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Where do you draw the line between entering and bursting into? - and AFAIK 'suffocated to death' isn't grammaitcally correct!

==Asian 10,000 Challenge invite==
Hi. The ] has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland ] and ]. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like ]. For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current ] which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant!

I find it interesting that you remove the word "terrorist" about Lehi murders, in the interest of "balance" and NPOV. Yet you then replace the word "gunmen" with "terrorist" to describe Palestinian murders. You also seem to believe that only Palestinians are capable of "massacres", while Israeli groups engage only in "battles". This selective language, depending on who is doing the murdering, leads me to question whether you are truly interested in promoting neutrality and balance. Or are you perhaps here trying to promote a particular point of view? ] 23:55, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
|style="font-size: x-large; padding: 2px 2px 0 2px; height: 1.5em;" | '''Happy Passover!'''
:The answer is quite simple. A terrorist is like a murderer a person who killed someone innocent. That's why I have no problem to call Jews that murdered '''civilians''' terrorists (in fact, I considered it in the past and later even tried to insert the terrorists into some of these entries so your accusation of bias is out of place and wrong). But Lehi like PLO in general is a political organization, so it can either be a '''designated''' terrorist organization or militant/etc. However a person '''who kills a baby''' '''or children in school''', the actual one that shoots that is, in cold blood can be called a terrorist I'm sure you understand the difference. ] 00:29, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

::I see we agree; killing innocent children is terrorism. I assume we also agree with that sentiment, whether the murder is from reckless indifference or from cold-blooded intent. You deleted the following sourced quote from a Jewish Israeli scholar "they murdered over 200 people, half of whom were women and children". Moreover, is Count Bernadotte guilty of something, or was his murder not terrorism? That was planned and executed by Lehi leadership. If that isn't terrorism, is it even _possible_ to have a "terrorist" group, because one can always simply state that a particular member was the terrorist? At any rate, you certainly didn't take any effort to describe the individual Lehi gunmen as terrorists.
::Bottom line your claims to be of superior balance and neutrality have little credibility. That's because your editing changes when the names of the subject change.
::A final word on our point of agreement, that murdering children is terrorism (whether through depraved & reckless indifference or direct intent): . ] 20:57, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
:::I'm glad we agree. I didn't delete anything, I just replaced it with material from the article which is more established and researched. The thing is the allegations of murders of children in Deir Yassin are BS, it never happened. And the sources in the article depict that myth very well. Of course if there was a Lehi member specifically who killed an innocent child then he would be a terrorist - he himself, no doubt. As for Bernadotte, he was a British representive. I specifically, perhaps you missed it, underline that politicans/soldiers and anyone in office of some colonial power is a legitimate target, he's not a civilian. And about a terorrist ''group'', indeed nobody calls anyone a terrorist group in wikipedia. Your last note is ridicilious since children aren't supposed to be where armed men are in battles according to the geneva convention. A state that defends itself and targets those military targets might hurt those civilians used as human shields but it did not target them, I'm sure you can understand the difference. A final note - times have changed through the years. Britian bombed civilian areas killing 10000's of civilians in WW 2 and also bombing children hospitals in occupied Denmark and other countries. That's no longer justified and acceptable, and terorrism is also much more frowned upon. This is just a historical note since international law has indeed developed. I'm sure you can see the difference between actions taken during the time of WW2 against the British who were here on a temporary mandte and between attacking civilians of a 58 years old country. You can twist it around but you can't around that the British weren't civilians in the area. But a person who murderes a 4 year old kid in cold blood, admits it, and mind you he came from some other country, went into an apartment, broke in, took the kid and smashed her head on a rock - that particular person can be called a terrorist, yes. Oh and one final note, a legal note. "reckless indiffrence" if something really is that - it's still not murder. Murder requires intent and not just intent but premedidated intent, and not just that, but also not under influence of momentary rage for instance - that's a doctrine in itself and so on. It's a specific charge. I'm more familiar with the hebrew terms, but there is man slaughter, negligent killing and levels. This is just to correct your defitinition mistake so you know. So whatever your political or moral position is, you can not ignore a difference between a premedidated killing of a child and a collateral damage from a bomb shell for instance. ] 22:22, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

::::A rose is a rose. Dead is dead. Immoral is immoral. Terrorism is terrorism. You can't make it pretty no matter what you call it and no matter who is responsible.

I'll leave it at that. ] 22:34, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

:::::What's bothering you is what one can see in the discussion of the palestinian political violence. A user, Jayjg responded there very well. You need to understand that there can be actually a differnece. The fact that these specific palestinians are terrorists doesn't mean that Jews and Israel have to be autuomatically are to maintain some fake NPOV. Same thing with Al Qaida and U.S.A for example - it doesn't have to be that way just because "the world is always balanced and everything is the same". No - dead is not dead, terrorism is not terrorism. The job of people who take things seriously enough is to look at who's the culprit and to define acts in as much accuracy as possible and point out to the differences when and if they exist. They don't always exist. Certainly one side wasn't always an angel. The Kfar Kasem massacre for instance was horrible and unjustified and done by Israeli in the 1950's and the court punished them for it. Same with Americans and certain massacres in vietnam , iraq and so on. But one can't just say that every thing Israel does equals what hamas do just for the sake of npov, no matter how it can be annoyed for those politicall supportive for the palestinians for instance. Just as one can safely side that was the nazis did was evil and without precedent, and it won't be pov. not every murder, killing, not even genocide is the same - there are details, motives, ideology, factors, considerations, perspectives, timeline, and many things. ] 22:52, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

::I don't want to get involved in the details of this debate, but I just want to point out that both of you are using the term "terrorist" much more loosely than is generally accepted. Killing civilians is of course murder (as is killing any human being), but there has to be a specific kind of motivation behind that murder for it to be called terrorism. For the sake of accuracy in your edits, it should be noted that accidental civilian deaths in open warfare isn't terrorism (from a NPOV perspective). ] 01:23, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

==Something to Consider==

I once saw an episode of a television show called "Becker" that really is worth mentioning to you. Just wondering, have you watched this show? Anyway, in this episode, Dr. Becker was accused by a writer of making racist comments. When confronted about it, it was revealed that it was the writer who was at fault for assigning racial overtones to an ordinary conversation. On thing in particular involved Becker's use of the phrase "those people that grill on the sidewalk." The writer ''assumed'' that Becker was talking about Puerto Rican's because he knew it was mostly Puerto Ricans that do that (in the show). He just ignored that Becker was refering '''only''' to people that grill on the sidewalk (because it gets in the way he says), and not Puerto Ricans.

Hopefully that illustrates the situation. I made a comment directed at all the people that were not dealing with the issue and making personal remarks/arguments/attacks instead. ThuranX saw something that was not there, and both you and he will not recognize that he was wrong. You both are in the position of the writer, and the only decent thing you can do is let go of your false assumption and drop the attitude you have because of it. ] 05:58, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

== From Scott Adler ==

I wonder why there is no "Siege of Jerusalem (1948)" article. Was it removed? Or never written. My view is that it was at Jerusalem that the Arab pleading collapses. Jerusalem was not to be included in the Jewish state, so why besiege it? Unless you are the aggressor, that is... ] 10:38, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

:these are the new israeli statistics : ] 11:34, 20 September 2006 (UTC) and already used in hebrew wikipedia.

::The article you linked to seems to be based on CBS data, which does list Ashdod as having over 200,000 residents in 2005 as provisional data.
::This however is still slightly above 200,000 and not the 212,500 figure you posted. The Hebrew Misplaced Pages is almost always wrong on these issues because they quote the city websites which always exaggerate figures. A while ago I found out that they exaggerated the population of Eilat by over 20% (at over 57,000, while the real population is about 45,000) and brought it up in talk and they corrected it. So unless there's a better source than CBS, we should use their statistics alone. On a side note, I'm confused as to why CBS lists 2005 statistics as provisional data and 2004 statistics as normal data, considering the last census was in 1995 and all population data since then has been provisional.

They will never go for any statement that characterizes posts, even if it pertains to a quality shared by the vast majority of posters or threads. I've tried before. This is why it is a matter of time before another edit war and probably why the thread should be scrapped.

I'm not sure if you saw the lengthy debate about the genocide reference. I demonstrated that since genocide includes 'merely' trying to force the expatriation of a people through mental anguish, and is not limited to mass murder, that pretty much the WHOLE SITE is a big genocide fest. I asked for, and was not presented with, one single means of achieving a 'white nation' that didn't involve genocide within the legal definition of the word - they did not or could not produce one. ] 20:47, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi Amoruso. You don't seem to quite understand the full implications of ]. I suggest you read it through thoroughly.

Similarly, if you wish to imply that the reason Abu Ali Mustafa was killed was related to any particular government's claims that the PFLP was a terrorist organization, or to Israeli claims that he was responsible for killings, you will have to find a reliable source to that effect. You can't just include information without a source, even if you are sure it is true - after all, you might be wrong! ] | ] 01:04, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Siniora's position is relayed in the section on "Position of Lebanon," though if the new speech has a significant statement, you should include it. His crying doesn't convey a specific idea, and it is only original research to assign words to it.

As for the stones, if the event was an attack on IDF vehicles, then you should say so, though the citation you provided doesn't make mention of IDF forces in the area. I incorporated the point about HEzbollah's rejectionism in a smoother manner; a link to the detailed and established subsection in the main Hezbollah article is much more effective than citing an individual piece.

== In answer to your question: ==

You ask why I am so interested in the Arab Israeli conflict.

Well I have always been very interested in Israel and have always had Jewish friends (have never visited Israel though). I consider myself a friend of Israel and even though I recognize the intrinsic unfairness to the Arabs I have always supported the right of Israel to exist in this region and of Jews to live in peace and security there. But when I started reading Israel related pages in Misplaced Pages I found them not to be neutral.

Israelis do not live in peace and security 60 years after the creation of Israel. Why is that? Surely there are many reasons and I think both sides of the conflict make their best to polarize matters and to demonize the other side. Indeed an important reason (I believe) is the deafening propaganda that obscures the issues. It does not help peace when the truth is not known and when both sides of the conflict honestly believe in their respective nationalist mythologies. So I thought I could help peace if I worked towards more neutral articles in Misplaced Pages. I am a religious person and really believe that peace is what God wants too. I also really believe that this continuous conflict does not serve Israel's interests. There is no doubt that Israelis (not to mention Palestinians) would have a much better quality of life if this conflict were over. What's happening is stupid; there must be a better way. Incidentally, have you ever considered that maybe this continuous war-like situation is making the Israeli military a self-perpetuating institution?

:Dear Amoruso, if you think BEFORE, BEFORE you will go back to Adam and Eve :-) What we need here is to think about the future. As a really great Jew said long ago, God wants us to forgive others. I know that keeping a grudge is part of Middle Eastern culture (and Greeks are very close to that culture), but to achieve peace one must transcend that. I agree with you of course that the point is not to achieve any peace but a long term solution.

:BTW thanks for inviting me to explain my idea in my talk page, I was itching to do that. I just posted it there. I am really curious what you think about it. Has such an idea been considered before? ] 10:08, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

I understand Jewish sentiments towards the Arabs; terrible thing have happened - this is a war after all. But I have not looked at the photo you pointed at; such things are bad for the soul. Muslims too have many pictures of children torn in pieces by Israeli bombs. Please do not live under the impression that such helps Israel: There are more, maybe many more, innocent Muslims killed, maimed, and abused by Jews than the other way around - many more Muslim families sunk into grief by loss, or their homes destroyed, or their property taken away- than the other way around. After 60 years of war the region is charged with propaganda and myth-making, but numbers count for something. Of course the two peoples' deeply dislike each other. The question is which is the best way to the future?

Yesterday I saw Spielberg's "Munich" and then read some newspaper clips from back 1972 - 25 years ago. After bombing in September 9 Palestinian camps in Lebanon in Syria (some say "terrorist training camps" some say "refugee camps"; I think they were probably both and that probably dozens of innocent Palestinians were killed there) here is what the Israeli briefing officer said "Our aim is to hit the terrorists as hard as we can, to cripple them and to make it clear that we mean business. The message is directed not only to the terrorists but also to the countries that harbor them." Sounds familiar? That was 25 years ago.

After decades of killing and suffering both peoples' psyche is getting angrier and uglier. Do you wish more decades of the same? Is this the Israel that Jews have dreamed of? If not then you must stop thinking about the bitter past and concentrate in working towards a peaceful future. And Palestinians must do the same. You don't make peace with your partners whom you respect; you make peace with your enemies whom you hate. I have no doubt that both peoples have enough heart to achieve this, and that what stops them is the insistent warmongering noise that comes from the extremists from both sides and that indeed polarizes both majorities.

You express outrage that Palestinians have voted for Hamas, but have you ever considered how Israelis voting for Sharon must have looked to them? You won’t achieve peace with your enemy if you don’t make an effort to understand them. If you were a Palestinian refugee what would you have done to gain a nation? Ehud Barak did not mince his words when he said in 1998 that "If I were a Palestinian youth I would have joined a terrorist organization"

Anyway I just posted in my talk page my response to your criticisms about the proposal being utopian. I would like to thank you BTW about your comments, they were quite stimulating. ] 08:22, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

== your input? ==

Hi Amoruso,

I plan to add a new article/ or expand the article regarding the complete issues related to Masjid al-Aqsa proper, or Noble Sancturary. Are you aware of any article of that sort on Misplaced Pages. I see most stuff redirected to the Temple Mount page. I prefer to have the Temple mount page mainly to address the Jewish religious/historical info because that is really what Har Habayt is about with a cross link to the Noble Sanctuary page. Similarly, the Noble Sanctuary article have most Islamic architectural/religious issues with a link that cross links with the Temple Mount page. What do you think? I do not want to start on something and really get in a conflict and really waste your time and mine. So it would be nice if we agree on that beforehand. There should be no POV problems with this I believe. I need time of course to do that, I need to collect some more references, I do have some already but it needs more time for a professional look. For example, I would like to discuss minarets, gates, clocks, Imams, etc pertaining to this subject. Please note that there are two sections in al-Aqsa mosque page namely the meaning of the "Farthest mosque" and the "Third Holiest" thing all of which are not really related to the congregational Aqsa mosque but to the Aqsa compound as a whole. It may be better to have all this compound related issues in the same existing article of Aqsa mosque articulating of course the terminological differences. This might be better idea than really creating a new page, I mean article. This will probably take me two weeks or so because I am quite busy these days on other issues. Any suggestions? Thanks. ] <sup><small><font color="DarkBlue">]</font></small></sup> 06:48, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

:Thanks for your reply. I will think about it. I am editing some other articles related to the same issue like this one ]. What seems puzzling is that the word ] that is used there takes us to the Page of al-Aqsa mosque. These do not really have the same exact meaning specially in this context since the congregational mosque did not even exist when these terms were coined. Apparently this confusion keeps coming due to the non exact overlapping between masjid/mosque. Masjid may refer to spot or a building. Jami or "congregation mosque" is the true Arabic equivalent of the English understanding of the word Mosque. It sounds to me as if there should be an article with the title Masjid al-Aqsa, explaining this Quranic term which does not necessarily refer to a building but rather to a blessed spot of prostration and worship as mentioned in 17:1. But again, it sounds to me that this may better correlate with the existing Aqsa mosque article. Additionaly, talking about the minarets of the Aqsa mosque seems more appropriate in the Aqsa page and not in the Temple mount page. Again, I am not saying that info in both articles should be mutually exclusive. But rather really more accounted for in the given pretext. Anyway, I will think of what you have said regarding the Temple mount page. I prefer maybe to share this info at the Talk page of the Aqsa page before moving ahead and adding it to any existing article, or creating a new article. Thanks. ] <sup><small><font color="DarkBlue">]</font></small></sup> 07:19, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Sport in Israel

Hi Amoruso, I noticed your name among the editors of the Sport in Israel article. Would you have any time to improve it? I have been working on it slowly, but cannot profess to be any kind of expert on the topic. Sports should have nothing to do with your ban (although you can never really tell around here...)--Geewhiz (talk) 10:43, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

I'll have a look, thanks. I need to see if I have time to waste (after all someone might revert it the very next day and we'll revert it back 2 or 3 or 4 years from today when we'll notice it). I think the pathetically obsessive nature of some users on wikipedia, from the old ones (user:zero0000 being the worst) to today's familiar faces, has taken its toll on users' willingness to contribute to Misplaced Pages. So I'll have a look, thanks!! Amoruso (talk) 12:41, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Dispute resolution survey

Dispute Resolution – Survey Invite

Hello Amoruso. I am currently conducting a study on the dispute resolution processes on the English Misplaced Pages, in the hope that the results will help improve these processes in the future. Whether you have used dispute resolution a little or a lot, now we need to know about your experience. The survey takes around five minutes, and the information you provide will not be shared with third parties other than to assist in analyzing the results of the survey. No personally identifiable information will be released.

Please click HERE to participate.
Many thanks in advance for your comments and thoughts.

You are receiving this invitation because you have had some activity in dispute resolution over the past year. For more information, please see the associated research page. Steven Zhang 01:31, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

Arbitration Enforcement

To enforce an arbitration decision, and for for the reasons contained in this request for arbitration enforcement, you have been blocked from editing for a period of one week. You are welcome to edit once the block expires; however, please note that the repetition of similar behavior may result in a longer block. If you believe this block is unjustified, please read the guide to appealing arbitration enforcement blocks and then appeal your block using the instructions there. Lord Roem ~ (talk) 19:48, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

Reminder to administrators: In March 2010, ArbCom adopted a procedure instructing administrators as follows: "No administrator may modify a sanction placed by another administrator without: (1) the explicit prior affirmative consent of the enforcing administrator; or (2) prior affirmative agreement for the modification at (a) AE or (b) AN or (c) ARCA (see "Important notes" ). Administrators modifying sanctions out of process may at the discretion of the committee be desysopped." Administrators who reverse this block without the clear authorisation described in that procedure will be summarily desysopped.

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. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 16:08, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Misplaced Pages:The 10,000 Challenge and Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Misplaced Pages:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoLo dicono a Signa. 01:07, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of File:Radar.jpeg

The file File:Radar.jpeg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

too low in quality to be of any use

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

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

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Thanks for uploading File:Pantani.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).

Replaceable fair use File:Pflp-gc-logo.JPG

Thanks for uploading File:Pflp-gc-logo.JPG. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Misplaced Pages. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
  2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. HapHaxion (talk / contribs) 19:46, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
