Unfortunately, due to my busy schedule in real life, I may not be able to effectively help you directly. However, you may be interested in what is called a WikiProject, a collection of pages devoted to the management of a specific topic or family of topics within Misplaced Pages. For example, the users who participate in the San Francisco Bay Area WikiProject help maintain the number of articles related to the Bay Area. If you would like, you could post a message on Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject San Francisco Bay Area to see if there are any other users who might be able to help you. Again I apologize. Thanks.

Ahmadinejad

I'm surprised to hear that this is considered controversial; can you explain the controversy to me? The edit request seemed reasonable and the three sources provided confirmed his remarks and two characterized those remarks as expressing "doubt that the Holocaust took place." This seems consistent with the definition of Holocaust denial. Is there some POV around the word 'denial'? If there is then we should find a neutral phrasing, not blur the facts with a weasel word like 'alleged'. Celestra (talk) 01:44, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

It sounds from those sources that we are merely discussing semantics. Am I understanding you correctly? Holocaust denial is making claims that the Holocaust "did not occur at all, or that it did not happen in the manner or to the extent historically recognized." He denies the term, I think, not the claims. What would you suggest as a neutral way to deal with that in the article? Celestra (talk) 15:32, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

Deletion of properly cited information

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Misplaced Pages, as you did to Controversies surrounding Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you. -- Avi (talk) 15:31, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

Eyal

Your name is Eyal? Do you talk in Hebrew? I find it bit strange that you try to defend Ahmadinejad. LibiBamizrach (talk) 04:35, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
