Iran and the Holocaust are a bit different, because Iran wasn't directly involved in the Holocaust. And I'm not trying to side with the Hiberniantears. However, if necessary, God help me, I do have a copy of the Soviet Encyclopedia around here, which I can use to verify if the claims are made there, and I think they are. Also, Hiberniantears seems to be indicating that he sees some of the sources provided by Dojarca as reliable. Certainly, the link to the Kononov vs. Latvia case he just added seems a good one. ArbCom like I said is now getting a wee bit more active in resolving intractable disputes, partially because, I think, that's the only way some ever will be resolved. Certainly the Macedonia case I'm peripherally involved in now seems to be going toward a similar ending to the Ireland place names case. As an outsider in all these conversations, I don't really mind seeing that happen, but I doubt I'd think that way if I were more directly involved. John Carter (talk) 00:40, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

John, your threats of ArbCom action is really quite unproductive, I'm a veteran of several past ArbCom cases, all cases related to the issue of the Soviet fabrication/interpretation of history. If you want to wheel out the Great Soviet Encyclopedia, be my guest, I'd like to see you argue it is a source independent of the topic. Martintg (talk) 00:51, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Pardon me for being honest here, sir. If we are discussing things which are "unproductive", I find your seemingly intentionally misstating the concerns of others in the clearly and obviously prejudicial way you just did to be possibly the most unproductive things which have happened in this conversation. And, of course, your vast experience over time clearly in your eyes takes priority over more recent developments? Really? And for what it's worth I only mentioned the soviet encyclopedia because I see it in the university library virtually every day. I am sure that it does however point toward other sources, and, even if it doesn't, it doesn't have to be independent of the source to establish the opinion of the Soviet Union in the matter, does it? I've been through quite a few arbitrations myself now, and am actually peripherally involved in two active ones now.

Of course, I do know that there are several editors who learn very slowly if at all. Based on what I have seen, I can't say you aren't one of them. That may not be to your benefit, of course. It certainly hasn't been to a lot of the parties who have been invovled in a big way over time in the various cases I do become involved in. Of course, your experience, or at least conclusions, which are more subjective, may disagree. Good day. John Carter (talk) 01:01, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Victims of political repression

This is to notify you that Misplaced Pages:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2009_April_21#Victims_of_political_repression, which you participated in, reached no consensus to delete, but has been relisted to Misplaced Pages:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2009_April_30#Victims_of_political_repression in order to determine if consensus can be reached on other alternatives. Your further input would be appreciated.--Aervanath (talk) 06:14, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment/Hiberniantears

Hi,

Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment/Hiberniantears. Currently far from ready, but I reckon you might want to participate in its development anyway, so I'm notifying you early. Διγουρεν_{Εμπρος!} 03:04, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

Apparently gone since Digwuren was the only one who had worked on it so far, I did make a small correction but did not have time to work on it last night. PetersV       TALK 14:35, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

There's another thing that needs to be done before proceeding to the RFC will become inevitable. Sorry about the false start. Διγουρεν_{Εμπρος!} 19:53, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
