Tookie Williams

Hey! Wanted to let you know I enjoyed collaborating with you on the Tookie Williams article. Like you, I'm kind of more interested in the event and it's aftermath than the actual person (morbid, I know). Thanks again! Joe McCullough 17:47, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

Hopefully fixed the attribution problem. Thanks. --Beth Wellington 15:52, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

Welcome from the Genvid forums

I'm sure you would recognize me as the guy with this "wonky" code system. Anyway, welcome to Misplaced Pages, I hope you have a blast contributing, and I hope I can see others from the Genvid forums come and contribute to Misplaced Pages. BTW, I'm an administrator here, so if you need any help, I'm available. --  Denelson83  22:50, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Grin. Yeah, I remember you well. :D (I'm still upset you were banned. Then again, I was banned. I got better tho!) :P Kyaa the Catlord 23:56, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, and unfortunately I can't return to those forums, as I can't send money over the Web without parental permission.  Denelson83  09:05, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Hi Kyaa ^_^ (Btw Denelson I'm The_Otaku_Witch). I think are a few more Genvidders & ex-Genvidders who are Wikipedian's too. GracieLizzie 13:59, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Ah, I knew you were a genvidder, just wasn't sure which one. :D Kyaa the Catlord 14:03, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for the edit (fix) at yllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy. GeorgeBills 07:09, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for that funny site. A little humor could go a long way right now, too bad some people just refuse to realize that. AscendedAnathema 07:58, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Ryan, if you want to revert the image in this article, I support that, but please be careful not to revert numerous unrelated improvements to the article as you do so. Please restore the other changes you reverted. Thanks. Babajobu 09:31, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

I tried. Sorry. I saw the image moved AGAIN and tried to move it back before editting went on. Gods blood, can't people get it already. Kyaa the Catlord 09:33, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

No problem, and don't wonder why you bother to touch the article, your work is appreciated! Babajobu 10:03, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Despite the Islamic prohibition against depictions of Muhammad, in the past Muslims have created non-satirical depictions. However, many Muslims have publicly indicated that they perceive the Jyllands-Posten cartoons as implying that all Muslims are terrorists, by depicting Muhammad with a bomb and for collaborating with terrorists (by receiving them in heaven).

Is this evidence good enough? ^ Abdelhadi, Magdi, "Cartoon row highlights deep divisions", BBC, 4 February 2006. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/4678220.stm Rajab 11:38, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

It would be fine, it was not there beforehand. Of course, its duplication of the same ground covered in the NEXT paragraph. Let's try to be concise, please? Kyaa the Catlord 11:39, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

you're right - we need to be concise.... Pervasive is an excellent word by the way :) Rajab 11:45, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Islamophobia

Yah, the only reason I can tell is because Islam is capitalized.  :) gren グレン 12:05, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy

It wasn't vandalism, I tried to archive but forgot to type edit message _→AzaToth 18:52, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Right Wing controversy

Do you have any links for the previous arguments on this? I am interested, however the 10 pages of archives is quite a bit to wade through for someone who is new to this article. Thanks. :) --Scaife 12:45, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

I agree with you, however he is a member of the press from Denmark. I dunno, in his mind he might have a point insofar as distancing the rest of the press in Denmark from JP. I am in a quandry I see his point, and I believe that Misplaced Pages should remain NPOV, however in this instance I am not sure which is the most NPOV way to do, however I defer to consensus. --Scaife 12:54, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

How do I explain changes?

I know how I would like to rewrite the article (no info deletion, just a bit of shuffling it to become more legible), but when I look at the "history", some edits display an explanation of what is changed. How do you do that?195.163.87.228 11:31, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

There is an edit summary link below the text window, just add your reasoning in that. Like this is /*How do I explain changes?*/taadaa! Kyaa the Catlord 11:32, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy

Hello there. Let's try to avoid to get into a revert war.

I find it however essentially to inform about the fact that the paper (Jyllandsposten) who originally published the cartoons is right wing. First of all introducing any name or concept that we cannot expect people to know I belive some kind of presentation should be there. As a Dane (and a journalist) I find it important that people understand that the newspaper is not broadly representing Danes or the Danish press (even though it can be called mainstream). Noone with knowledge of the Danish press argues that it is anything but right wing.

So please argue why it is irrelevant or incorrect to present the paper as right wing.

Even though we have different views I believe things can be solved by discussions.

Best Bertilvidet 14:14, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Please argue for the substance instead of attacking me for being biased. You dont know me. And was is relevant is your arguments - not against me, but that it should be incorrect or irrelevant to label the paper as right wing. So far 2 people argue for the labelling 2 people against.

arrests of protesters - Danish Embassy

Matey, please don't let the dispute between Tom & I stop you from correcting errors or contributing in any way. Please! That's been going on forever & it's fairly mindless anyway. This is an ongoing story that I don't get too much time to contribute to. The changes made so far have been intelligent & progressive. I really welcome them. Go for it!

Islamophobia article

In the future, please discuss the reasoning for removing NPOV tags instead of using the old argument of someone who you don't agree with to be "trolling." 24.7.141.159 09:18, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

WTF indeed. I didn't touch islamophobia today. Perhaps you are imagining things? Kyaa the Catlord 12:43, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps you could explain this? If it was not you...who? Islamophobia was the page? Is that the mistake?--Cberlet 20:31, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Hmmm, interesting. I forgot I put weasel there. :P Still, that change WAS warranted and still is warranted. Kyaa the Catlord 08:56, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Actually, that is Islamofascism, not Islamophobia. Please, if you're going to dredge up "evidence" against me, at least get the page correct. Kyaa the Catlord 08:58, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Islamism article

Just to let you know that several other admins are now watching the Talk:Islamism to enforce some semblance of civilization, and MuslimsofUmreka's position isn't faring too well in the discussion thusfar. They've archived everything else due to WP:NPA violations without really looking at what people were saying, so your opinion about what had happened is no longer there. Hopefully it will be unlocked soon and we can repair the article.Timothy Usher 06:33, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

Kyaa you should not try to change his tags or anything else he wants to do. this is his article not yours isnt that obvious by now.67.188.110.197

Stop ading the tags back on

I withdrew my side of the dispute. Also give a reason on the talk page about why the article is totally disputed when you put the tag up. Please stop being so immature. MuslimsofUmreka 01:35, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
