I've done so. Thanks for the reminder.Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 05:26, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Mediatorship

Are you willing to take over the mediatorship? -- Kim van der Linde 14:34, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

I am not stressed at all. To the contrary, I am very relaxed, and I have a thick skin which you need to have if you are an admin as you can get compared with quite some heavy things, like being a communist and neo-nazi at the same day... :-). I am not rushing to conclusions, or get stressed from others who send me e-mails with their demands of things they want me to do, etc. If you decide that you would be interested, we have to find consensus for that first at the page.... -- Kim van der Linde 16:05, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

O, and one tip to start with, try not to take to strong position about the term, or anything because that appears biased and makes you unacceptable to others who think that position is wrong. -- Kim van der Linde 16:08, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Su-laine.yeo is not an appropriate mediator. For example, in regards to articles Homey created, Su-laine.yeo voted delete on Apartheid (disambiguation) , delete on Gender apartheid , delete on Sexual apartheid , delete on Global apartheid , and stated that the Israeli apartheid article "should not exist at all" . On the other hand, she voted keep on Homey's AfD of Apartheid outside of South Africa . Su-laine.yeo also got involved on the Admin noticeboard on Zeq side (who is in opposition to Homey) with regards to his ArbCom related article bans . If nothing else, Su-laine.yeo does indicate in her actions that she doesn't have much respect for Homey. --Ben Houston 01:50, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Looks like I'm off the hook for mediatorship ;) Thanks Kim for asking. I hope you remain safe through the storm. I've thought about this and I am, as Ben and Homey both pointed out, already involved in the dispute. I would like to contribute to consensus-building as a participant. Ben, if by "not having much respect for Homey" means frequently disagreeing with him, that's certainly the case. If you mean to imply that I have not followed Misplaced Pages:Civility then I would welcome specific examples. Sincerely, Su-Laine Su-laine.yeo 05:51, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

By the way, my "keep" vote on Apartheid outside South Africa was a "keep until." Su-laine.yeo 06:26, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

I came in from the side, as the admin protecting the page. I never have dome substantial editing at any of the political pages (except for obvious gramaer and spelling), and I have no interest in it either. So, I am rather clean in that context. The storm is a wuzie, just a lot of rain. I am still curious at your answers on the questions I posted at the WP:AN/I incident report.-- Kim van der Linde 16:47, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Kim, I've replied on your Talk page and AN/I. Glad to hear you're OK. Su-laine.yeo 06:27, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Renaming

"Government discrmination" is a nelogoism. Homey 15:24, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Pleaseead this

it is a representation of an important POV: User:Zeq/apartheid_propeganda

tnx, Zeq 15:39, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

you have a good point. this was to extrme and I need to change it.

The chrstian aid is covered here (search for the word apartheid): http://www.ngo-monitor.org/editions/v4n04/ChristianAidSummary05.pdf . Thanks for reading and for your comment. Zeq 08:36, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

maybe this is a much better way to say what i tried to say: http://www.mideastweb.org/israel_apartheid.htm

Zeq 08:41, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Yes I think the Pogrund article is the best on the subject. Zeq 15:19, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Israeli apartheid

Hi Kim,

I don't understand these sentences from User talk:KimvdLinde/Apartheid: "First, renaming it to that name would free the way of a second article that deals with for example the scholary opinion about this topic, which is not an allegation or accusation but an analysis. And I think that is not warranted." Could you please clarify what you mean by "free the way of"? Also, what is not warranted? Thanks, Su-Laine Su-Laine Yeo 04:06, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

The newly proposed article name is a very specific title, and limits all discussion at the page to the allegations. Therefore, it effectively excludes anything beyond that. So, an article dealing with an analysis of the situation based on for example scholary articles which examines whether the term apartheid is relevant for the Israeli situation would require a seperate article as that is not an accusation/allegation, but a valid scholary analysis. I think that one article is already enough, and I do not see the need for several articles dealing with this term, so I think is not warranted to have multiple articles. -- Kim van der Linde 05:09, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi Su-laine. Could you please take a look at my fresh proposal at Misplaced Pages:Central discussions/Apartheid#Proposal by User:Humus sapiens. I respect your opinion and would appreciate your advice how to improve the proposal. Thanks. ←Humus sapiens 10:31, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Please read this

For added perspective: "Falafel in Nablus" dialogue (from Ramallite's archives)/"Falafel in Nablus" dialogue (from Guy Montag's archives). Cheers. Article20 00:40, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

Apartheid

What happened was I changed my comment because I realised that if the article title was Apartheid (political epithet) it was disambiguating from Apartheid. However, I then noticed that you had responded to my old comment so I restored it and moved my new comment below yours. Probably should have stricken out the old comment instead.Homey 00:58, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

RfM apartheid

Su-laine, would you like to be added as a party to the mediation? I'm not entirely familiar with everyone who was involved, and so I may have left some names out. By all means, add yourself if you like, and then sign at the bottom that you agree. Cheers, SlimVirgin 06:53, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Your suggestion at Central_discussions/Apartheid

SlimVirgin suggested a modification/shortening of your proposal to "Allegation of apartheid". The proposal has gained significant support, maybe you have some comments about it? Do you endorse or oppose it? -- Heptor _talk 17:34, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Vancouver Wikipedians Meetup

Greetings, you're getting this spam (courtesy of Tawkerbot) because you were listed on Misplaced Pages:WikiProject_Vancouver. In short, we're trying to have a meetup and we'd appreciate it if you'd join our Yahoo Group setup to figure out a time/place that would work. You can find the group at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/vancouver_wikipedians/. If you have any questions feel free to make a post there or on the WikiProject page.

Happy Editing!

Re:Kim is a guy

Damnit, I wasn't sure since it is kinda an androngynous name, that probably lessens the impact of what I wrote.- Moshe Constantine Hassan Al-Silverburg | Talk 03:52, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
