Faurisson affair

You're really puzzling me. I've added three valid sources, two from Le Monde and one from Libération.

"Personal Analysis"

I do not understand your meaning.I did not add "commentary or your own personal analysis to Misplaced Pages articles." I simply changed the word "documentary" to "propaganda." That was not personal analysis any more than saying a film like "Air Force" is propaganda, as posted in its article "Made in the aftermath of the Pearl Harbor attack, it was one of the first of the patriotic films of World War II, also characterized as a propaganda film." That was a commercial film, as is the Moore piece. If one is characterized as such, then you cannot stop the other. If you insist on removing the word from one, then you must also remove it from all the others on Misplaced Pages. Are yo doing that?

Thank you.

Leona Lewis

It's Malcolm Walker who said that Lewis's range is A3 F6. He's is a true professional, he's a baritone and singing teacher in the Conservatoire de Paris. You can't reverted that just because you disagree. Please, stop. Two otaves and a fifht is wide for an human voice, only very strained voices can do that, enrich your musical culture.Lully 2010 (talk) 18:26 , 19 June 2010 (UTC)

Hello, something seems to be wrong with the above editor's signature, I think you meant to post a message at User talk:Lully 2010, not Lully 2010 (which is in the article space, not user space). Regards ,--BelovedFreak 18:42, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
Thank you for pointing that out. Wikispan (talk) 18:49, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
Lewis's range is sourced. —Preceding unsigned comment added by F6Coloratura80 (talkcontribs) 17:50, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
Lewis's vocal coach Janet Edwards as well as singing teacher in Conservatoire de Paris Malcolm Walker claims her range extends from A3 to F6. —Preceding unsigned comment added by F6Coloratura80 (talkcontribs) 18:03, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
Please, stop the war. Lewis's range is sourced. If there were several reliable sources that say this girl has over 2.5 octaves, I'll put them in the article, but currently there is none.F6Coloratura80 (talkcontribs) 18:20, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
Please stop. We will not make a war just for a range. Lewis's range is very well sourced. —Preceding unsigned comment added by F6Coloratura80 (talkcontribs) 18:38, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

{{POV}}

Hi, Can you point me to the policy where it says "Editors are required to provide an explanation before tagging....". As the template state they should promptly state on the reason, and then it goes on to state quite clearly "Place {{POV}} at the top of the disputed article, then explain your reasons on the article's talk page", nothing about initiating the discussion prior to it's placing. Regards 19:18, 25 June 2010 (UTC)


The planning of the 1993 World Trade Center attack

what does it means : "you failed to provide an explanation for your poorly sourced edit". I've quote Chomsky and provided a reference to the official government investigation. What kind of explanation are you expecting  ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rwainste (talkcontribs) 18:58, 3 August 2010 (UTC) thanks for the response, I still don't get it.

My criticism is that Noam Chomsky did not present the events as were actually happened, and I've added ref. to the actual chain of events. I am the source for this criticism, although it has been made in the past. If I'll add a reference to the document who first made this criticism, will it do ?

Proxy

You removed a reliable secondary source and replaced it with a self-published source (a blog). I'm going to start a discussion on it on the article talk page. Please give the reasons why think we should be using a blog instead of a non-self published book. Cla68 (talk) 11:48, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

Same thing here, you removed a reliable secondary source and left a blog url as the only source for the text. Cla68 (talk) 11:55, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

Roger & Me

This is not original research, I added sources and clarified the section that previously had fact tags. If you have anything constructive to add, please do so. However, do not do a wholesale revert. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GoldDragon (talkcontribs)

Your comments at User talk:Unicorn76

Your comments on the talk page of a blocked user are not welcome. Mocking someone that is blocked is like poking a stick at a caged animal. It is likely to inflame the situation rather than help. Let's not go down that path, please.--Chaser (talk) 22:07, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

Did you examine the source of criticism he tendered for inclusion on Michael Moore? (diff) Please follow the link and read the article. When I examined some of his earlier edits, it seemed obvious this guy is playing games with you all, in the style of Stephen Colbert. Wikispan (talk) 06:59, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
My point was not so much the individual case (I do not see a bright future for this guy unless something changes) as that generally mocking blocked users is a bad idea. But as to the specific case, better he be politely but firmly shown the door than that we kick him in the ass on the way out. Makes it less likely that he joins Misplaced Pages Review and tries to track us all down in real life and call us in the middle of the night or something.--Chaser (talk) 00:11, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
