Gaza aid shipment
Hi Carwil,

Regarding your recent change: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gaza_flotilla_clash&diff=365448264&oldid=365447663

This was discussed at length in the talk section of the article and the specific wording you deleted was chosen by consensus. Originally the wording was about a "peaceful takeover" that was deemed to be non-neutral. The reason for "no major" incidents is that while there were reports of one other injury on a different boat it was not nearly the same scale as what happened on the Marmara.

I'm going to undo your change, but if you feel you were right please go to the talk section and discuss. I'm quite open to changing the wording if the consensus changes. Zuchinni one (talk) 15:36, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Lino Villca


The article Lino Villca has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners or ask at Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Bolivian elections
Hi. Considering your work with Bolivian regional elections, perhaps you might be interested in Bolivian municipal election, 1999, which is still in construction. --Soman (talk) 00:09, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

sindicalismo?
Hi. I noticed your articles on interculturales and conalcam, great work. A question though, I'm not sure how to do with the translation of sindical in the rural Bolivian context? (a problem relating both to interculturales and CSUTCB affiliates). They are not syndicalists in the political sense nor are they strictly trade unions. --Soman (talk) 23:44, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

Interesting sourcing for Race and genetics.
Hi, Carwil,

I just saw some of your latest edits to Race and genetics in my watchlist. I like learning about new sources on that subject, and it looks like you've found some good ones. Feel free to share suggestions of good sources related to that topic for the  source list I am slowly compiling to share with other Wikipdians for improvements of that article and related articles. I don't know the literature of that subject as well as I know the literature of psychology, but I'm eager to learn and happy to hear suggestions of good sources to read. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk) 03:11, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

Yur edit-war
Can you explain why you reverted the edits? I see no reason why such a large proportion should be left out. Thank you.Federalostt (talk) 10:28, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Can you point out what you're talking about? I think I reverted a really short entry concerning Peter Hitchens, with a lengthy explanation on talk. And I've recently reverted Wikifan's tag clearing, which I explained on her/his talk page as well as in the edit description. Zero... seems to have reverted a recent long edit by you. Is that it?--Carwil (talk) 11:18, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

Famine donations - Olivier Rubin's conclusions
While trying to add content related to theories of famines, I came across some conclusions drawn by Rubin (Rubin, Olivier (2008), The Malawi 2002 Famine – Destitution, Democracy and Donors, 17, Nordic Journal of African Studies, pp. 47-65) regarding Malawian famines and thought you might be interested in the context of a recent post by User:Ykraps on the talk page of Famine in India. Here's Rubin's conclusion: The government’s dependence on international donors, not directly accountable to the Malawian citizens, hampered any positive democratic effects on famine protection and undermined the government’s capacity to enforce anti-famine contracts. The strained relationship between international donors and the Malawi government led to famine responses that were belated and inadequate. Zuggernaut (talk) 22:13, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

quote please?
The section is referenced. It seems quite redundant to add a quote. --Shuki (talk) 01:39, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
 * The template is designed to elicit the quotes justifying the material, not saying it should be added to the article. I quote
 * This is used to request a direct quote from the cited source, to be provided on the discussion page so that it may be verified that the source can verify the statement or has been interpreted correctly. This is particularly helpful for sources that are not available online or are difficult to obtain in order to check the editor's interpretation.
 * It's also particularly helpful if you provide translated quotes since I don't speak Hebrew.--Carwil (talk) 01:53, 31 October 2010 (UTC)


 * I wish the book was in English too, it includes many official documents, dated maps, and original pictures. Anyway, I'm not sure if a quote will help since I've more or less summarized and translated the section on Psagot of that chapter. The quote of Ariel Sharon would be a bonus since he said many similar things in the 80s and 90s, but it's just a mere nine words. --Shuki (talk) 02:07, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

Spelling error?
You wrote "much up" ... perhaps you meant "muck up" here? PS: Your polite and rational approach to editing is much appreciated. --Noleander (talk) 15:33, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Selective quoting
I am extremely annoyed by you selectively quoting part of my sentence on my talk page, implying that I said something completely different than what I actually said. Please rectify this. Marokwitz (talk) 13:53, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for your recent comment at WP:AE. PhilKnight (talk) 18:26, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

You forgot this
"Only in some articles, those which had a brief introduction and then a body of one or two sections, was there disagreement on how it was to be incorporated - but not if." --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 17:31, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes. Done. And thank you.--Carwil (talk) 17:36, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

IPCOLL
Carwil, I would not like to make the IPCOLL discussion even longer and taking it here. I have not familiarized myself with your editing history or other IP involvement, but I liked what I've seen here and there, and that's why your opinion matters to me. In your recent comment you have said "these arguments are just ways of keeping the illegality ... out of settlement articles". Let me assure you that I have no such intention and there is nothing behind my comment, except its direct meaning. --ElComandanteChe (talk) 22:58, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I want to clarify that I didn't mean that comment personally about your inentions. It flows more our of LessHeard's closure comment.
 * It is my impression that there is a body of editors of the opinion that the legality of these Israeli settlements should not be noted; it is a valid opinion to be held by an individual so inclined, but it is not conducive to building an encyclopedia. Attempts to stop, stymie or divert efforts to build the project in incorporating that commentary must be resisted like any other form of disruptive conduct.
 * It's for that reason that I tried to propose some alternate strategies for reaching the goals you suggested (like inserting the agreed on text and then making it subject to modifications). Not surprisingly with so many editors, there are opposing stylistic and process desires (Cptnono seems to be putting effort into centralizing the discussion instead). If you spell out your stylistic concerns, and propose alternatives, I'm certainly open to reaching consensus on multiple usable alternatives.--Carwil (talk) 23:03, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, I have noted (and appreciated) the other parts of your reply too. --ElComandanteChe (talk) 23:08, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

White people - user Mttll's edits
Hi. Could you please tell me why user Mttll keeps removing Iranian people off the European descended list when I have provided adequate sources proving they are white? It is a fact that Iranians are an Indo-European people (as are people from Azerbaijan and other parts other middle east with known groups of European peoples). He keeps removing the information. The United States and Europe (especially anthropologists, sociologists, historians and governments) consider Iranian peoples to be white). Significant portions of Iran (including the 50% of ethnic Persians that make up Iran - along with Aryan tribes still living there) are made up of European peoples - in the North and Central Iran. This is fact. This user keeps stating that UK Census has Iranians write in as "Other Asian", but I have provided sources proving that identifying ethnic backgrounds on these census forms are difficult - it says it right in the source - for middle eastern peoples. In fact, people can write in whatever race they identify. I know for a fact that many Iranian choose the "Other White" category along with the Kurds and Turks who are White but not of British origin - just like Greek people. Can you please help me discuss on this on the talk page for the White people article? This user keeps deleting sourced information without discussion and making changes based on opinion - not fact. I would like to contact someone on Wikipedia for help, so I think I will be seeking help from a third party editor as well, and if necessary, mediation. I put a talkback template that links to the section, so you don't have to scroll down the talk page to read my post, which includes a source with information about the U.S. Census.
