Stavsky

You're "undo"s are unacceptable. The line that you repeatedly keep inserting into the Stavsky article regarding the location of his murder accomplishes absolutely nothing but to sneakily imply that Stavksy killed Arlosoroff. I explained myself in the discussion page while you have done nothing but lazily revert the change without providing an explanation. I am in no way saying that I know for certain that Stavsky did not kill Arlosoroff (though the evidence most definitely leans in favor of his innocence) but you seem to be so certain of his guilt that you'll go and imply some sort of magical retribution of middah kineged middah through the irrelevant detail pertaining to the geography of where Stavsky's life was ended. Because I assume that you're not choosing to be blatantly dishonest I'm keeping my cool about the fact of your flippant vandalism despite the fact that I went out of my way to discuss the matter in the comments section, but you've now done this multiple times and I no longer consider it acceptable or excusable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.55.97.27 (talk) 23:15, 14 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Mediation

A request for mediation has been filed with the Mediation Committee that lists you as a party. The Mediation Committee requires that all parties listed in a mediation must be notified of the mediation. Please review the request at Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Ze, and indicate whether you agree or refuse to mediate. If you are unfamiliar with mediation, please refer to Wikipedia:Mediation. There are only seven days for everyone to agree, so please check as soon as possible.

I do appreciate your professional and constructive approach to our disagreements. I believe you have summed them up in a fair way, and I accept fully that you request mediation. All the best, Bertilvidet 17:03, 1 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Just give me some time to familiarize myself with the concept of mediation on wikipedia. I will be back in due time before the deadline. Bertilvidet 20:37, 1 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Gabi. Hope you do fine. So, nothing seems to happen in our request for mediation. Just let me know if there is more I can do. Even though I thought that we had reached a cease-fire the fights over the notorious Zionist Entity broke out again. The debate will probably interest you, as it includes some attempts to figure out where you stand! Guess you would be the right one to tell us! Please let me know, if you agree on the text Another term for the State of Israel. The term is primarily used by individuals, organizations and states who question the legitimacy of Israel. untill we find another solution trough mediators? All the best, and thank you again for your constructive approach to disagreements, Bertilvidet 18:33, 6 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You bring up a good point about my Hebrew. I'll be sure to mention it to Bertilvidet to make sure that he doesn't think that I'm trying to hide it. Don't worry, I am perfectly capable of seeing both sides of the argument, and after reading the talk pages on the articles in question, I see that both sides has very valid arguments. Obviously, my goal is to help provide a solution that both sides are happy with. --דניאל - Danie lroc ks123 ^contribs 22:37, 19 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Human rights in Central Asia

Hi - I'm modifying the list of countries tagged to this article, because a significant number of them are not generally considered Central Asian countries. The countries I removed were: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Bangladesh, the Maldives, and Sri Lanka. If you have any concerns or questions about these changes, please send me a message so we can talk about it. Aelfthrytha 14:53, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Many people would dispute whether Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia belong on the Asian page at all - they should also be included in Europe if they are not. If they must be included in the Asia page, they should be "West Asia." As for the other ones, (Bangladesh, Maldives, Srilanka), they should probably be in South Asia along with India and Pakistan. I left India and Pakistan because portions of them are arguably within the central asian region. Aelfthrytha 05:28, 8 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You're right, it's not 93. It's actually over 100. The main reason why I reverted your edits is because of the POV-wording.

Minor political parties

I disagree, particularly with your unilateral decision to effectively delete the Natural Law Party article as they did participate in past elections. The National Bolshevik Party is part of a series of articles on them so also warrants inclusion.

Where exactly is the criteria you refer to for inclusion? I can't find it on either WP:PLT or WP:ORG. Number 5 7 10:55, 30 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I still don't agree. The Natural Law Party of Israel is notable as it has stood in elections. The National Bolshevik Party of Israel article is part of a series of seven articles on parties sharing the same ideology so if you really want to get rid of it, merge all those articles into one and then link to the relevant section. Finally, Bead Artseinu is not a chapter of an international organisation, so the criteria does not apply to it. Number 5 7 17:13, 30 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete House Demolition in IP conflict

I'm puzzled what connection you see to the Soviet-Afghan War - which was one (legitimate) government coming to the aid of another (legitimate, recognised?) government. There probably were House demolitions in that conflict too, lets document them. But that doesn't make this article less important - most likely it makes it more important.

License tagging for Image:Jook.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Jook.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 01:08, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Intercourse (disambiguation)

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Intercourse (disambiguation), and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: Intercourse. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists.

"Black Gold" by George Orwel plagiarizing from Wikipedia's Khobar Towers article.

I believe that the text on wikipedia is not in the public domain, but rather is copyrighted and can be licensed under the GFDL. Technically I believe that Orwel and his publisher John Wiley is in violation of the GFDL. I'm busy with other things these days, but would be happy if you could point this out to someone in the Wikipedia community who might follow through on it with Wiley. The text from the book is available on Amazon's search inside this book. Ydorb 23:15, 7 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for Image:Suicide-bomber-baby01.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Suicide-bomber-baby01.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

I'm truly sorry, I shouldn't have used such harsh language. Please accept my apologies. The main problem I've identified in the article is the prose style, which looks like a translation from some old history book. It is slightly POV and, in my opinion, too graphic; both things are not easy to change, but maybe I'll try to do it indeed. -- Gabi S. (talk) 19:26, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. I've replaced the Hebrew language sources you added to this article with English language sources. They are preferred, when available. I'd ask that you be more careful about how you present information.

Please be aware of the importance of accuracy in reporting such information. Thanks. Tiamut^talk 12:53, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thats actually quite a coincidence, I was thinking the same thing yesterday when I was editing the article. There are two solutions: We could verify and expand the Tunis Raid article or we could do what you suggested and redirect it. I'm fine with either, but I think getting rid of the article could cause some disagreements from WikiProject Palestine members. I will notify them and if there's no objections, we should go ahead and redirect it. --Al Ameer son (talk) 23:02, 29 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm so sorry, no I have not. To be honest WP Palestine members have not really engaged in that article much anyway, so yes, I say you should redirect it. If anyone has a problem, we'll discuss it and then find a solution. For now just redirect it. Cheers! --Al Ameer son (talk) 04:18, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Citing sources

Please remember it doesn't matter how 'reliable and verifiable' information is particularly on a contentious article. What matters is the information is actually verified by reliable sources. If you don't have the time to find sources then you shouldn't be making additions or changing articles particularly not on a highly contentious subject Nil Einne (talk) 08:22, 28 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is not accurate. According to Wikipedia policies, sources are required only for information that cannot be easily verified, which is not the case here. -- Gabi S. (talk) 08:24, 28 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Gabi,

Such debates already aroused many times and the issue is always the same...

Answer to your comment is : if an information can easily be verified, then you will have very easy to find a source to verify this and add this to the article...

Each information, even basic, has to be sourced from wp:rs sources and, as Nil Einne points out, particularly on contentious article. This is true for everybody, those who are right as those who are wrong, the pro- and anti-, the winners and the losers, ... That is the best and only way to deal contentious topics.

Noordin Mohammad Top

Hi Gabi, I think I should explain why I reverted your change the other day on Noordin Mohammad Top. It's because the link said "Islamist militant" and then linked to "Islamic terrorism". On the face of it these are two different things. That said, I do actually think that the article Islamic terrorism should be called Islamist militancy. I said as much on the talk page[6]. If the page doesn't get renamed then I am torn on the text of the link on the Noordin Mohammad Top. Logically, if you want to use that link, you would describe him as an Islamic terrorist. Yaris678 (talk) 17:46, 21 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Islamic means of Islam. Islamist means of Islamism. Islam is based on the idea that there is one god and Mohamed is his final prophet. Islamism is a number of political ideas connected to Islam, including the idea that Islam is under attack and must be defended, often by violent means. It’s a bit like the difference between being a white person and being a white supremacist. Obviously, many Islamists will tell you that being a Muslim compels you to be an Islamist. They will deny the distinction and claim they are following Islamic principles, but we don’t have to fall for their propaganda.

The difference between militancy and terrorism is more a matter of nuance. For example, militant union members might threaten and intimidate people who do not go on strike. This could be called terrorism, but it usually isn’t. Terrorism is usually reserved for bombings, assassinations and kidnaps and hence could be considered a subset of militancy.

So we have four different but related terms. My personal preference would be to write an article on Islamist militancy since this seems to have the best combination of being specific but reducing the scope for quibbling about what is and is not included... but that is actually secondary to by belief that you should not mix the terms up. By using the link [[Islamic terrorism|Islamist militant]] you are implying that Islam is the same as Islamism, which, as I said, is just buying the line of certain Islamists.

As a tertiary issue, Islamic terrorism sounds a bit like Islamic finance, which kind of implies that there is an Islamic way around the prohibition of murder and suicide, like there is a way around the prohibition of usury.

Yaris678 (talk) 08:48, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Cool. Glad you see the distinction between Islam and Islamism. I agree that there can be a fine line between militancy and terrorism. That is why I think that the article should use the broader term militancy in its title. Of course, this doesn't stop the word terrorism from being used many times in the article. Yaris678 (talk) 12:01, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I suppose Muslim political violence is more neutral than Islamic terrorism, but neutrality was never my biggest issue. My issues with Muslim political violence are:

The word Islamist is better than the word Muslim in this context, just as it is better than the word Islamic. For the same reason, we have an article on Zionist political violence and not Jewish political violence.
I prefer the word militancy to the phrase political violence. For a start, click on those two links and you will see that one gives a decent encyclopedia entry and the other redirects to a stub. Secondly, the word militancy is easier to turn into a noun – political violator? Thirdly, the word militancy is shorter than the phrase political violence, which generally makes sentances containing it flow a bit better.

Is there a reason you don’t like the word militancy? Or are you just looking for consistency? Consistency is good, but if I had my way, we would have Zionist militancy and Palestinian militancy too.

Animal rights

Hi Gabi,

I undid a recent edit of yours on whaling. Looking around a bit, it does seem a universal demand of the animal rights movement (as opposed to the animal welfare movement) that animals shouldn't be exploited in any way. If you change the page back, please take care that the source link works and consider using {{Cite web}} or its siblings. --Swift (talk) 11:19, 22 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I thought thoroughly about my edit, and I suggest you redo it. The current paragraph has two citations, one links to a dead site (wildlifeprotection.net; domain for sale) and the other to a general (universal) article about animal rights which is not as good as the one that I supplied. In addition to better sources, my choice of words describes better what animal rights stand for. This is important for newcomers that may encounter the term for the first time on the whaling page. -- Gabi S. (talk) 12:16, 22 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I know that Israel is not muslim country but its in the middle east.

Palestinian infiltration listed at Redirects for discussion

I've added Palestinian infiltration to the RfD at the redirect discussion for Palestinian infiltrators; you also created this one but it currently goes to a different target than the one you're proposing for that.

By the way I've revised my !vote, I put the delete in as a placeholder without checking the page (while I tied up to previous discussion) and then could not get back to check it and change it. My bad. Si Trew (talk) 06:54, 13 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
