Queen Rania
The article indeed does not mention the word "unsympathetic." This is what it says...
But the queen who came from a family of Palestinian origin, recently came under fire for leaving the country at a time when Israel is stepping up military operations in the West Bank and Gaza. The royal couple have three children. She was travelling abroad in May when her own family's home town, Tulkarm, was bombed to avenge a suicide attack on Israel. "Her absence inflamed feelings in the camps," a businessman from Amman told the UK newspaper the Sunday Telegraph.
So she inflamed feelings. I don't think it is unreasonable to say people see her as unsympathetic. Look up her 40th birthday party and you will see a variety of feelings. But please, you read the source. Don't just delete it, replace the word you don't like. 132.160.54.156 (talk) 19:20, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
- Ridiculous. So you really tried to introduce the word "unsympathetic" due to the reported opinion of one "businessman from Amman"? Please take some time to learn why WP has to remain WP:Neutral. GFHandel ♬ 19:25, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
It also said she "came under fire." It didn't specify from whom, but that implys that a segment of the population was complaining. It only quotes one businessman, but he isn't speaking on his behalf. He says that the Palestinian refugee camps are "inflamed."
You can find other quotes. I thought the BBC article was enough source. Do you really think there needs to be more verifiability to say that Queen Rania is seen as a bit of a blue blood? 132.160.54.148 (talk) 03:54, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
- Please take up such issues on the relevant talk page. GFHandel ♬ 03:57, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
Ok, I'll make a similar edit to what I had before. I won't say "unsympathetic." My reasoning will be in the edit summary. Thanks for being so understanding. Habeebee 132.160.54.140 (talk) 18:55, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

- Can you tell the community why you are trying to make a personal and political statements (clearly in violation of Misplaced Pages:NPOV and Misplaced Pages:BLP)? Don't you wonder why you have zero support for the views you are pushing? Please take it up on the relevant talk page—and stay off my talk page from now on (I have far more important things to do at WP than waste more time with someone who couldn't be bothered to learn what Misplaced Pages is for, and how it operates).

The whole lead says "Rania is a great humanitarian." Balance was introduced by showing that she isn't universally loved in her country. But you think something negative about a Palestinian is in violation of balance? You think a single, partially critical sentence throughs the whole lead off.
I brought this up on your talk page, because you have been acting uncivil. How is a general statement supported by a BBC article a "personal and political statement?" When you say that something is "clearly in violation," it shows that you are not interested in the truth, but in hyperbole. 132 141.190.32.9 (talk) 02:36, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

Basketball player infoboxes
Hello- I noticed you are doing a lot of work on NBA player articles. Please take a moment and read this discussion. There has been an effort to consolidate infoboxes for ALL professional basketball players, not just NBA players. In editing articles, please do not remove the infoboxes and all of the information that they contain, instead please convert them to the unified infobox (and be sure to check that the code works). Thanks Rikster2 (talk) 23:13, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks for the info. I've finished going though all the articles matching the "NBA player" template, and sorry, but I did remove a dozen or more infoboxes (in the last few days only). Are you saying I can reinstate every infobox and replace "Infobox NBA biography" with "Infobox basketball biography"? GFHandel ♬ 23:28, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
- Supposedly - but I am still getting the NBA.com link - which I thought was supposed to be suppressed. Might be worth a question to one of the creators of the template. I'll ask on the discussion. Thanks for the response. Rikster2 (talk) 23:30, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
- Got it - just replace NBA biography with Basketball Biography and enter something in the league field. If the player played in just one league or predominantly on league use tat, otherwise the generic "various" will work. Rikster2 (talk) 23:34, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
- Also, I noticed you removed a number of guys drafted in the 2011 draft (such as Chris Singleton). Because of the lockout, these guys aren't showing on NBA.com yet, but NBA is probably the most appropriate template anyway. Rikster2 (talk) 23:36, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
- Okay. I'm sorry about the edits. The only problem is that I'm not sure how to fix the league information. Here are the 18 pages from which I removed the infoboxes:
- Manuel_Blázquez
- Larry_Turner_(basketball)
- Miguel_Miranda_(basketball)
- Paulo_Simão
- Brian_Jones_(basketball_player)
- Billy_Williams_(basketball)
- Keith_Hughes_(basketball)
- Ed_Turner_(basketball)
- Brandon_Heath_(basketball)
- Tibor_Pleiß
- Donald_Sloan_(basketball)
- Paulão_Prestes
- Jason_Bennett_(basketball)
- Chris_Singleton_(basketball)
- Reggie_Jackson_(basketball)
- LeRoy_Gardner_Jr.
- Ron_Charles_(basketball)
- Greg_Carter_(American_football)
- Should I just revert my edits?
- 23:45, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
- I fixed as many as I could (as well as I could). I notice you have done the rest. Sorry to cause you the work. Cheers GFHandel ♬ 00:46, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

Kim Kardashian
Kind of late, but thank you for correcting my error on the mentioned article. I wrote two months because I thought that was 72 days, but it is 62 days. Silly mistake! Till I Go Home (talk) 01:51, 20 November 2011 (UTC)
