Your request re Jesus

Hi Miri,

just in relation to your request on my talk page, I was slightly surprised to see that you appear to believe that I am a Muslim. I don't particularly want to go into my convictions regarding matters of religion, so I will only point out that I have never stated myself to be a Muslim.

I hope all is well with you; you will be in my thoughts. Palmiro | Talk 13:50, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

No problem, and I certainly don't object to people thinking I am knowledgeable about Islam, though whether that is true or not is another question! Palmiro | Talk 15:29, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

By the way, I've just read the last section of your userpage, and found it very ... thought-provoking, I suppose, and beautiful. Palmiro | Talk 12:58, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Oberlin College and references

Thank you for changing these, even if it was automated. I'm very glad to know that there is a simpler way of doing that now.—WAvegetarian•_{CONTRIBUTIONS}• • 00:35, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Overuse of refconverter

Unreflective use of refconverter is causing many problems, and in many cases actively harming Misplaced Pages. The tool is nice to have—in fact, it's the impetus for me creating my own "Citation Tool" (still alpha). But it is nice to have to aid editors who are actually involved in editing a specific article, and who have reached consensus about making a given type of change to an existing article. Unfortunately, the semi-bot is largely being used to make "drive by 'improvements'" to articles where editors either have not considered the citation style, or where they have actively decided on something different from what the tool produces. This is extremely disrespectful to other Misplaced Pages editors, and a gross violation of process.

I have not looked at your specific changes made using the semi-bot, but I strongly recommend that you follow a guideline along the lines of: "Use this tool only after consensus for a change has been reached on the talk page of the article to which it is applied!"

You may also want to take a look at User:Evilphoenix/ref conversion. This is a sketch of an RfC that may be filed to try to resolve this problem (I see no reason you might not opine there, even while it lives in userspace). Ideally, Cyde will back off his insistence on changing all articles, even where against editor consensus. But unfortunately, his attitude has only become more belligerent when I have repeated requests in this regard. I think a positive involvment of well-meaning users of the semi-bot might help matters resolve amicably. Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters 02:34, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Ref converter RFC

You are receiving this message because you are on the Ref converter spamlist.

Hello there, I'd just like to make you aware that Lulu has filed an RfC against me and "other users of Ref converter". Since Lulu has previously contacted you regarding Ref converter I think it is safe to assume that you are one of the people named in the "other users of Ref converter" bit, so you may want to get involved. Just a heads-up, Cyde Weys 18:22, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

A little something for you

Wanted You to Have First Formal Thank You

Thank you nominating me and for voting for me at my RFA. I am thankful for your kind words and confidence in me. Even though it failed, constructive criticism was received.

Movement of Sociopath Terrorists

The "landless workers something" is nothing more than a communist terrorist group. They sing the International Socialist Antheem, burn crops, kill animals and people, with disregard for everything. And they do everything they do without a reason! The government gives them money and they just keep killing people and burning crops, don't tell me they aren't terrorists because they are! Cuzandor 04:08, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

Yes I understand, even though everyone knows they are terrorists Cuzandor 16:30, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

True Torah Jews

Hi, I posted a defense of the article True Torah Jews, I would like to ask you to be so kind and read it, and than rethink your position on deletion.

Bloger 00:11, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi and thank you for responding:

Firstly, as I said before the TTJ isn’t per se a mouth-piece of satmar – nevertheless because satmar doesn’t have an anti Zionist platform for the outside of satmar - meaning Jewish non satmar’s and non Jews - this group has become the de-facto satmar podium on anti Zionism in the world of non Yiddish - so to speak –, this can be seen thru several thing sited above,for one the satmar rabbis, the banner on the head table for TTJ by an official satmar demonstration, as I linked above.

This brings me to my second point:

Should it be the fact, that the TTJ is run – or for that matter in any way associated - to non-religious Jews, or even more, to a left wing socialist movement, you can rest assured not only wouldn’t you find any satmar rabbi signing a proclamation for the group, but also not in any circumstance letting the group grab any publicity on an official satmar event, given that satmar is not a political opponent to the state of Israel, but rater a morel opponent of it, in fact should the world - and for that matter Evan the Arabs - miraculously unanimously become supportive of Israel, it wont affect satmars opposition to Israel not one iota, moreover satmar has always maintained the position to not be seen in any way having an association with people or groups like the ones you mentioned, so much so that when a group like the Neturei Karta - which is an orthodox Jewish group and even has the same fundamental for opposing Israel like the one of satmar – but because they associated themselves with the political apposition to the state, satmar very openly and aggressively disassociated themselves from them.

Thirdly, as I said before the TTJ is regularly featured in the two Yiddish newspapers “Der Yid” and “Der Blot” that are the official newspapers of the two satmar factions (the Aron’s and Zalmons).The question is would it be considered a verification of TTJ works and structure if it is spelled out in the above newspapers?

If yes, I would be more than glad to present such writings and let the Yiddish speaking and reading editors here, confirm the content.

However I would need more time to do just that, since they don’t publish the newspaper on the web I would need to contact them, go to there office and get a hold of the articles.

=Stop Forcing Your Opinions on the Luther Page

You and your Jewish pals need to stop forcing your clearly non-neutral point of view on the Luther page. It is shameful and dishonest how you are going about this.--Ptmccain 07:01, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
