Please do not attack other editors, as you did on Talk:Jewish exodus from Arab and Muslim countries. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. — Malik Shabazz /_Stalk 18:11, 20 November 2014 (UTC)

Previous accounts?

Hello and welcome to Misplaced Pages. May I ask if you have had any previous account here?

You have also broken the 1RR rule on 1948 Palestinian exodus Please don´t do that again, or you will be reported and blocked. Huldra (talk) 19:16, 25 November 2014 (UTC)

Huldra Hello, I used to have an account some time back but I edited mainly stuff related to Spanish and Arabic language etymology. Nothing particularly controversial. Why do you ask?

Thank you for your answer, I just wondered. I also warned you above about breaking 1RR on 1948 Palestinian exodus...and now you have done it again. If you don´t self-revert, I will report you. (Also, please don´t mark you edits as m (minor) when they are clearly not, like this one), Huldra (talk) 20:53, 25 November 2014 (UTC)

Hi Huldra, I was just wondering could you first explain to me why you reverted my addition in the first place on the basis that it is "out of scope"? The argument seemed totally illogical to me so I just thought it was just further activism and destructive editing. I am not involved in the current Israel-Palestinian debate. It is not something which I waste much thought on, but the period of history regarding the expulsion of minorities from certain countries interests me for a number of reasons and I have recently discovered there is a deliberate attempt to distort history throughout wikipedia for reasons related to the modern conflict between Palestinians and Israelis. This has evidently upset me, since I have a lot of faith in wikipedia and its model. I was just curious on your rationale. Thank you.Asilah1981 (talk) 21:17, 25 November 2014 (UTC)

Does "Wlglunight93" sound familiar to you? Just "wondering".TMCk (talk) 23:27, 28 November 2014 (UTC)

No. It does not sound familiar to me and I don't use sockpuppets, TMCk. You are welcome to "wonder" as much as you like though.Asilah1981 (talk) 16:03, 29 November 2014 (UTC)

WP:AE

You have been reported on WP:AE, Huldra (talk) 21:51, 25 November 2014 (UTC)

The result of the WP:AE complaint is that you are warned to observe the WP:1RR rule on ARBPIA articles. Newcomers are sometimes forgiven when (as in this case) they overstep for the first time. Please also be aware that the topic of Jewish exodus from Arab and Muslim countries is very controversial. It is expected that everyone will keep their edits, talk page comments and edit summaries neutral. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 03:44, 30 November 2014 (UTC)

Impressed

Just a quick note to say that I am very impressed with the quality and lucidity of your talk comments at the Jewish exodus article. This is exactly the type of thoughtful dialogue that these difficult articles need if they are to progress. I am thinking through each of your points and will respond in the next day or so. Oncenawhile (talk) 17:02, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

Thank you Oncenawhile. That is very encouraging and kind of you. Am travelling (in Berlin at the moment), but look forward to your thoughts when I get back. Asilah1981 (talk) 10:38, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
