==Tundrabuggy==
You commented recently on my talk page about Tundrabuggy's behaviour in wikistalking me on articles relating to ancient Babylonian history. Unfortunately he's continued this behaviour, having blown off all the comments and advice from others about his conduct. I've therefore raised the issue at ].

Stuff I'm reading:

The Israeli Barnstar of National Merit
Jaakobou, You have worked hard to attempt to improve wikipedia's Israel/Palestine related articles. You have made appropriate additions and changes, added sourced content, and dealt with the POV issues related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. I believe you have at many times tried to promote improvement and NPOV in many wikipedia articles, and have greatly improved many articles. You have had to deal with some issues in the past, have faced at times controversial sanctioning, but when you were wrong, you have learned from your mistakes, and improved your editing, and since, you have become a very good editor. For all you have done, you have won my respect, and are in my opinion very deserving of this barnstar. YahelGuhan (talk) 05:25, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

DYK for I'm a PC

arThere you go. Whoever moved your hook nomination to the next update forgot to add your credit in as you can see here. Sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you.RyanCross (talk) 23:53, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

I looked over this once more, and found out you didn't do any expansion to the article or nominated it, and only made copyedits to it. This doesn't count as a DYK for you. You have to have expanded it. Sorry to have to do this, but I've removed your DYK. Please don't let this discourage you. Do continue your contributions. Thanks, – RyanCross (talk) 03:35, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
I wasn't aware of this, but no worries; I should be getting a DYK for a different article in a few hours. Cheers :) Jaakobou 04:15, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

Archiving I'm A PC discussions

If you are agreeable to it, I am thinking that archiving the citations conversation and the DYK hullaballoo might serve the article discussion better. The anon kept using ou argument as a defense for their bad behavior. Let's avoid the 'monkey see-monkey do', 'little kids following the big kids' lead' problem. I will create an archive but won't archive until I've heard back from you. - Arcayne () 21:05, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

I don't know what the IP has done exactly but archiving usually occurs when the discussion about an issue is stale. I don't think you should archive our discussion at this point in time. I suggest you ask Ryan about this issue since you seem to value his opinion above mine.
Respectfully, Jaakobou 22:42, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

DYK for Asi Cohen

Updated DYK query On 7 October, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Asi Cohen, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Wikilawyering and accusations

Jaakobou, please desist from making repeated accusations that I am stalking you, that I am engaged in tendentious editing or that I am violating some other policy with my edits simply on the basis that you disagree with them. Someone can take issue with your general perspective on the world and your competent-but-not-perfect grasp of English, and make edits accordingly, without them therefore being an egregious violator of every single WP policy. As I've said before, the relevant policies here are actually WP:AGF & WP:CIV. I have tried to avoid coming here to make this point, but as you've just done it again on the Battle of Jenin talk page I have no choice. I've had enough of it, and if I need to I'll take it to one of your mentors (if you still have them) or to the appropriate notice board. Thanks. --Nickhh (talk) 08:46, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Note: The above comment came in response to the following diff from the Battle of Jenin talk page. Jaakobou 15:24, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
And also from the last few days this, this, this, this and this, even if this last one is not, at least, as confrontational as all the others. Similar diffs available from previous encounters, which seem to come in clusters every few months or so (not as often of course as they would if I really were engaged in wiki-stalking, as opposed to merely sometimes editing in broadly the same areas) --Nickhh (talk) 16:42, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Image loaded

Thank you for an excellent effort on the historic Tel Aviv photo. I've recovered the bibliographic data and uploaded it to Commons for you. Would you please add in notes about your edits? The image is loaded as Image:Tel_Aviv_carrying_bricks.jpg. Best regards, Durova 23:26, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Cheers, Jaakobou 14:26, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

Battle of Jenin

See this for Ashley's plan for neutralizing POV; please weigh in ASAP. Thanks! :) Master of Puppets Call me MoP! :) 01:11, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

Will try and accommodate the concerns as best as possible.

Tundrabuggy

You commented recently on my talk page about Tundrabuggy's behaviour in wikistalking me on articles relating to ancient Babylonian history. Unfortunately he's continued this behaviour, having blown off all the comments and advice from others about his conduct. I've therefore raised the issue at WP:AN/I#Tundrabuggy. Please feel free to contribute to the discussion. -- ChrisO (talk) 20:32, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
