For the record

Wolf Blitzer is not a reindeer. --Gimme danger (talk) 00:36, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Uh, my bad. I thought I was removing the reindeer diff. Sorry! Wikifan12345 (talk) 09:59, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

No problem. I do that all the time. --Gimme danger (talk) 01:40, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

An article you commented on in the past is at AfD

I noticed that you commented in a past AfD discussion of the article Nicholas Beale. After being deleted then, it has been reposted and is now back at AfD again, so you might be interested in commenting again (but you are under no obligation to). Thank you, rʨanaɢ /_contribs 22:02, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Long time no see

Sorry that I missed your message. I've been having problems with my chat program, so I'm online less frequently, but I still should be available most evenings. --Danger (talk) 03:09, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

topic ban

you should self revert, as you know this violates your ban. . thank you. untwirl(talk) 03:49, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Does this really qualify? Wikifan12345 (talk) 05:20, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

definitely. untwirl(talk) 16:29, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

For what it's worth, I think that it's not obvious that the edits in question fall under the topic ban. I don't think "broadly construed" means all general international relations articles. There are certainly points to criticize about that table but its inclusion of the Israel/Palestine conflict doesn't necessarily place it in the forbidden zone.

Wikifan, I would encourage you to find non-international relations topics to edit though, regardless of the ban. Danger (talk) 17:30, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Got it. I was just whizzing through my all edits and happened to see the table was removed. I didn't really see a solid rationale but I understand now. Wikifan12345 (talk) 20:48, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Just cruising around wiki but wondering how international relations is equal to Israel-Palestinian conflict? Perhaps there is a legitimate place wikifan1234 could go and inquire as to the limits of his ban? Stellarkid (talk) 03:44, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

It's not at all obvious that it's part of the ban; unlikely, in fact, that it is. Jayjg 01:44, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

I gave that advice in my capacity as a mentor. It has little to do with the ban and more with the types of articles that are most conducive to developing interpersonal skills. --Danger (talk) 04:19, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

Ditto. Wikifan12345 (talk) 04:25, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

Admin?

Yes. Jayjg 01:42, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

Let's chat

About sources. Email me times that are good for you and I can try to work around your schedule. --Danger (talk) 04:31, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

Talkback

Danger (talk) 07:25, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

An article you commented on in the past is at AfD

I noticed that you commented in a past AfD discussion of the article Nicholas Beale. It is now back at AfD again, so you might be interested in commenting again (but you are under no obligation to). I noticed that while many editors who commented on prior AfDs in the past were contacted, you somehow were not, so am leaving a friendly note here. Thank you, --Epeefleche (talk) 22:34, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Advice

I have adviced Factsontheground that in my opinion the discussion at Talk:Cave_of_the_Patriarchs_massacre#Relevant has reached a dead end, see this post of mine on his talk page. If you agree with this, I propose we drop further discussion there. Off course, feel free to disagree. If, on the other hand, Factsontheground will opt to continue his non-consensus edits, I shall report him for edit warring. Debresser (talk) 11:40, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

I'm not too involved with that article but I agree with the consensus. Wikifan12345 (talk) 11:47, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

I have indeed posted him on Misplaced Pages:Administrators'_noticeboard/Edit_warring#User:Factsontheground_.28Result:_.29 now. Debresser (talk) 18:33, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

Factsontheground

You have a friend! Lucky... He followed you to Violence in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, a virtually untrafficked page. Doesn't he have anything better to do. IMO, his sole purpose on WP is to insert 'bad publicity' to Israel related articles and anything productive is lost in 1/60. Sad... --Shuki (talk) 18:28, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

eh, I personally don't mind. He didn't revert any of my edits. I "followed" FOTG to RFK but not out of spite. So it would be hypocritical of me to complain. Wikifan12345 (talk) 22:24, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

you said "endorse", but i think you meant "overturn".--brewcrewer (yada, yada) 00:09, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

Jewish Virtual Library

Concerns have been raised over some pages which you use as a source. I would like to ask you to please revert edits you may have made on the basis of:

• http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Terrorism/suicide2.html
• http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Peace/aksagraph.html

Best Regards, Unomi (talk) 18:05, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

Just to clarify, the concerns raised regarding the source were from an uninvolved editor. Please revert. Unomi (talk) 00:22, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

Apologized for the confusion. Wikifan12345 (talk) 00:27, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

I hope you will address the matter of the JVL sources you have left around, I notified you of my concerns prior to you using them, as we now have confirmation that it is a poor source please do be considerate of the state you have left the articles in. Unomi (talk) 02:32, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

Uh? Where is this confirmation? Wikifan12345 (talk) 02:35, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#Sources_for_casualties_relating_to_I.2FP Unomi (talk) 05:37, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

That's hardly a discussion. Two users, one of whom is clearly on another end of the I/P conflict? Wikifan12345 (talk) 05:51, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

The first respondent is a RS/N regular, there is nothing controversial about her findings. This makes at least 4 users who consider it an inferior source for wikipedia. I know that you are aware of the general sanctions in the I/P domain. I would kindly suggest that you abide by them. Please revert. Unomi (talk) 06:06, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

Revert what? JVL is a reliable source. It is used frequently in I/P. The only question is if this particular page is reliable. Can you find me a substitute that lists the # of attempted or plotted suicide bombings? Wikifan12345 (talk) 06:21, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

Sorry to buttinsky. Just cruising around and saw this debate. I looked at the first graph and there is a source given. I downloaded the PDF and see it came from "The Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center at the Israel Intelligence Heritage and Commemoration Center (IICC)" Why couldn't you use that source appropriately? As ItsmeJudith, one of the regulars at RS noticeboard, suggested? That should be satisfactory and there would be no argument with respect to JVL. In fact, the JVL is much like Wiki. Wiki is not a RS but hopefully the refs are. Stellarkid (talk) 06:45, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

That is the source I told him to use at the start of all this. Unomi (talk) 11:58, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

That is the source being used currently Unomi. Can you please specify and link the edits you perceive to be problematic? Wikifan12345 (talk) 12:26, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

AE Request

Please see this enforcement request. Unomi (talk) 11:48, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

Iranian Uzis

Re: the addition to the Equipment of the Iranian Army page - I'm not disputing that Uzis are used by the Iranian military, but the link you use as a source, only notes that someone was arrested for attempting to export Uzis to Iran - this can't be used as a source to say that the Iranian Army uses them. Furthermore, the image you use to assert that the Iranian Army uses Uzis states that the soldier is a member of the Iranian Navy. A source verifying use by the Army is necessary. - Jonathon A H (talk) 13:55, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

All right I'll look at some Iranian military sites for a more accurate source. It seems on the Uzi page it lists Iran as a user. Wikifan12345 (talk) 23:27, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

Re Spike Jonze

Hi, I reverted your edit at Spike Jonze again. Rather than get into an edit war, could we agree to include what the source actually says, being (a) that he has a "Jewish background", and that (b) "he has admitted to being the great-great grandson of Joseph Spiegel, who founded the Spiegel catalogue at the turn of the 20th century and was the son of a German rabbi"? Probably also that should be worked into the existing section on his ancestry rather than having a stand-alone paragraph. For the record, I don't feel the article needs this kind of detailed geneaology at all - it's not usual to include ancestors in a BLP unless it's directly notably relevant to the person's life - but if you really feel it's relevant let's at least stick to what's directly supported by the sources. - DustFormsWords (talk) 01:06, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

Article says Jonze grew up in a "Jewish household." Is that enough? According to this site, he is considered Jewish but I doubt it is reliable. WSJ is an RS I think. Wikifan12345 (talk) 01:10, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

Um, that source says that Maurice Sendak grew up in a Jewish household, not Spike Jonze.  :-) - DustFormsWords (talk) 01:22, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

Defamatory content

Please stop. If you continue to add defamatory content, you may be blocked from editing Misplaced Pages.

Please note that if you persist I will take this to arbitration enforcement for action. -- ChrisO (talk) 23:26, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

I was simply restoring cited material that you removed without reason. I explained my case in talk, which you subtly ignored, and waited a few days for others to respond. As a former admin, you should know a content dispute does not warrant arbitration. Wikifan12345 (talk) 23:45, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
