H. rights in the U.S.

Thanks for your edit there that not everyone received equal treatment per the Constitution, that being reserved for landed white males in keeping with the custom of the day. I did add that the first U.S human rights group was anti-slavery, re-arranged, and indicated the evolution of rights over time to include wider classes of individuals, reflecting the content of the article.

Timoshenko

What goes on in the heads of the people who think "Семён" is best romanized "Semen", I will never understand :) I have moved the article to Semyon Timoshenko, which didn't require admin rights to do. I suspect you were trying to move it to "Semyon Tymoshenko", no?—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 13:22, July 16, 2009 (UTC)

Yefimov

The page was protected indefinitely because a vandal moved it ten months ago. That's no good. I've unprotected the page, moved to it Yefimov (because you are right, that's where it belongs), and watchlisted it, in case the vandal hits it again.

Soviet diplomat Boris Shtein

Hi! As a part of the Winter War project I created an article of the Soviet diplomat Boris Shtein. You have done great work in Boris Rybkin article, and I was wondering if you could with this one also. The surname Shtein sounds jewish, but if undertood correctly from the Russian source, he was not jewish or was he? Peltimikko (talk) 10:23, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Sigh

Things like this are starting to make me wonder if guidelines such as WP:SYNTH really matter anymore. There are some editors who will vote very predictably in certain discussions, regardless of the guidelines or arguments (one only has to take a look at recent AfDs to prove this.) It's also obvious that there is some trolling going on. I guess it would be best not to waste any time at all on that article, and just let the trolls troll in peace. Some other sensible editors will sooner or later take that piece of rubbish to AfD again. Let's hope that the trolls have lost interest by then. Offliner (talk) 16:54, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Persecution of Nazi war criminals

Btw, is there an article about the (post-Nürnberg) persecution of nazi war criminals? I couldn't find one. There seem to be a lot of news stories about the subject, so it would be surprising if there is no centralized article in WP about this. Offliner (talk) 20:25, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Genocide under capitalist regimes

Eugene Salamin

I see that you moved Eugene Salamin to Eugene Salamin (mathematician), with the comment that the better-known Eugene Salamin was an artist. You left intact the various links to Eugene Salamin, which became a redirect page as a result of your move.

The natural next steps would be:

• Fix the links. Writing ] will cause the reader to see Eugene Salamin, and when the reader clicks on the link the article Eugene Salamin (mathematician) will come up.
• Either change the new Eugene Salamin redirect page that you created by moving the article, into a disambiguation page, one of the links being to Eugene Salamin (artist), and click on the link and write the new article, or else make the new redirect page into an article about the artist, with a disambiguation notice at the top saying

For the mathematician, see Eugene Salamin (mathematician)

or words to that effect.

I'd do those things myself if I knew anything about the person. Michael Hardy (talk) 04:24, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Question regarding your edits on Communist genocide

3RR warning report

Sorry, but I find your recent reverts unacceptable therefore I reported you here] for edit warrning.--Jacurek (talk) 05:50, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

What are you talking about, he self-reverted his last: . It's only 3 reverts in 24h. Offliner (talk) 05:53, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Estonia

I've noticed that criticism of Estonia's attitude towards nazism (such as the failure to prosecute local nazi war criminals, etc.) tends to get removed from most articles in WP because it allegedly "doesn't belong" in that particular article. So I was thinking, maybe it could be a good idea to create a central article for that kind of stuff. The name could be something like Criticism of Estonia's attitude towards nazism or something (the choice of a name is important, because a bad name could be used as a main argument in an AfD discussion.) I've started working on the outline a bit: User:Offliner/Estonia. This is just a suggestion. What do you think? Offliner (talk) 06:13, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
