Page moves
Please don't make any more unilateral page moves. 1948 Palestine War was recently confirmed as a valid term during its failed AfD, and the lists are villages depopulated during that war, not during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. If you want to make the moves, please propose them as requested moves, and hold a poll on the talk pages. SlimVirgin talk| contribs 15:51, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Being a "valid term" doesn't equate being the primary term. Moreover, Articles for deletion/1948 Palestine war actually confirmed that 1948 Arab-Israeli War is the primary and preferred term and there was a rough consensus to merge 1948 Palestine War into 1948 Arab-Israeli War. The consensus there, combined with the more encompassing and NPOV nature of the previous name, made the move uncontroversial, thus not requiring bureaucratic redtape of requested moves.

 * But there is an objection, so how you do need to go through the requested moves process. SlimVirgin  talk| contribs 16:37, 12 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm not confident in the reasonableness of the objection, but in any case there was no objection on the record prior to the page move. Best, -- brew crewer  (yada, yada) 16:39, 12 July 2009 (UTC)


 * With respect, you knew that there would be objections, and now there is one, so you should undo your move, and post it at requested moves. As the page says, "If there has been any past debate about the best title for the page, or if anyone could reasonably disagree with the move, then treat it as controversial." Please treat the move as a potentially controversial one.   SlimVirgin  talk| contribs 17:03, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

brew, I also object. It was demonstrated that the 1948 Palestine War is not synonymous with 1948 Arab-Israeli War and that the first article should be an overview of both the 1948 Arab-Israeli War and 1947–1948 Civil War in Mandatory Palestine. So if you want to move it I ask that you go through the requested move process. The page you moved should cover the entire time from pf the Palestine war, not just what took place after the start of the Arab-Israeli war.  nableezy  - 20:33, 12 July 2009 (UTC)


 * In its original state, the list used "Arab-Israeli War." Only recently it was moved to "1948 Palestine War". The aforelinked move did not go through the page move discussion procedure despite its potential to be controversial. I moved it back to its original default state, so now any move can go through the procedure required for controverisial moves. Best, -- brew crewer  (yada, yada) 07:03, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
 * replied on talk, but I am not going to move it back.  nableezy  - 07:11, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

coolcaesar and personal attacks
The user Coolcaesar has been insistent on attacking users with abusive language. I see on the user's talk page that you have previously complained of this behavior. I have tried to reason with the user, but without success. Numerous other users have also complained on the user's talk page, but it has no effect. Please submit a complaint, and the user seems very intransigent. Maybe if enough of us take action, it could stop. Zoticogrillo (talk) 04:16, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
