1 July 2006 Sadr City bombing
Hi TheFeargod, I changed the fatalities on this page from 66 to 62. Most of the news reports I found said 62. I've also had difficulty finding lengthy, and descriptive stories about this bombing. Also, thank you for telling me I was leaving out categories in my articles.User:Bob371, 17 February 2007

NATO bombing of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia
Hi TheFEARgod, As I get the impression that there is an edit war unfolding, I took the liberty to jump in. I have edited the infobox to quote directly from the NATO press statement. Please note that the Casus Belli implies that "a government [needs] to demonstrate that it was going to war only as a last resort", therefore the non-acceptance of the Rambouillet terms is the casus belli, that what ultimately led to the war unfolding.

Somalia

 * I did not "rush" into making it, I have been actively following the progression of the conflict since the battle of Mogadishu and have been surprised that Wikipedia has not covered the event. The article should not be merged into the civil war article any more than the US war in Afghanistan should or the Soviet war in afghanistan should. These are seperate wars or conflicts within a state of civil war, you might call them phases. Just like Afghanistan, this is a seperate phase in the conflict going on in Somalia. So many people are comparing it to Afghanistan to justify a merge, but this is a false justification as the comparison works in favor of keeping the article. The only "rushing" that occured was 8 minutes after the article was first created, and during my efforts to assemble information, it was put up for deletion without any discussion, halting any improvements and making me now have to discuss its deletion rather than add content. People are too eager to jump on others, and seeing the way discussion is going there is really no reason for me to continue to state my case and explain why it deserves its own article. A quick search for the conflict shows most news sources calling it either the Somali or Somalian war, hence the name choice, though obviously it could be moved if someone has a better idea. ~ Rangeley ( talk ) 20:49, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Terrorism in Kazakhstan
On 7 November 2006 you proposed that the article entitled Terrorism in Kazakhstan be renamed Terrorism and Kazakhstan. Initially I disagreed as this would go against the naming style currently used by most terrorism + country articles. However, now that the article has gotten quite lengthy I think it is time to split it into several articles. What do you think about keeping the section "Banned terrorist organizations" as the Terrorism in Kazakhstan page and splitting the rest of the article into Counter-terrorism in Kazakhstan? The section on "Cooperation with the United States" could possibly also be split. KazakhPol 05:49, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Fair use Images
You might want to double check, policy number 9 —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.12.249.63 (talk • contribs).


 * Please do not remove the copyvio tag, It is there so an administrator can determine wether or not you are required to comply with the official Wikipedia policy, shown below,


 * Fair use images may be used only in the article namespace. Used outside article space, they are not covered under the fair use doctrine. They should never be used on templates (including stub templates and navigation boxes) or on user pages. They should be linked, not inlined, from talk pages when they are the topic of discussion. This is because it is the policy of the Wikimedia Foundation to allow an unfree image only if no free alternative exists and only if it significantly improves the article it is included on. All other uses, even if legal under the fair use clauses of copyright law, should be avoided to keep the use of unfree images to a minimum. Exceptions can be made on a case-by-case basis if there is a broad consensus that doing so is necessary to the goal of creating a free encyclopedia (like the templates used as part of the Main Page).


 * accessed from Fair_use, section policy, bullet point 9
 * I will leave the image on your talk page until the matter has been adjudicated on 86.12.249.63 21:27, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi Feargod, I wanted to thank you for your efforts regarding Chadian history, and in particular for Libyan-Chadian War; I hope too expand it soon, but first I'm waiting for Nolutshungu's history of the Chadian civil war, Limits of anarchy, to arrive from the USA. In the meanwhile, I noted you reverted my last edit; could you explain me your objections? Thanks, and ciao--Aldux 13:58, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Earthquake
We seem to have created two separate articles on the same event, at the very same minute. You made 2006 South China Sea earthquake, while I created 2006 Hengchun earthquake. The early news reports I read indicated it was in the Luzon Strait. Perhaps indicating it was in the South China Sea is more accurate? I added links to the Luzon Strait version at the bottom of Earthquake and Tsunami. I'll gladly respect whichever title you think is best. If you'd like to change those links and redirect the Luzon Strait earthquake article, please feel free, or let me know and I'll be happy to do it. There is some additional information in the Luzon Strait version, so, of course, feel free to merge it into the South China Sea version if you feel it's beneficial. I'll refrain from editing either until I hear back from you, to keep any further edit conflicts at a minimum. Be well. Justen 13:54, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:Taiwan december 26.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:Taiwan december 26.gif. 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.

Adds to the Iraq war campaignbox
I have added an article about the Karbala insurgent raid and the suicide attack on the military base in Mosul in 2004 to he battles and bombings campaignboxes of the Iraq war. As for the battles there are no mroe to be added just wait for new ones. But for the bombings I also added yesterday the attack on the UN headquarters have you any propositions for any more major suicide attack to be added. Maybe the car-bombing in the summer of 2003 in Najaf I don't remember that much but I think almost a 100 people were killed. Send me a reply. ThanksTop Gun

I think that we should leave the bombings campaignbox of the Iraq war seperate from the terrorism box and create a seperate independent campaignbox for the terrorism in Iraq Top Gun

OK I agree with you for the terrorism box but think that a box with major bombings listed in it should also be there separate from the terrorism box, something like major Kamikeze attacks of the Pacific theater of World war two.Top Gun

Nisam mislio posebne kutije za posebne vrste napada,mislio sam jedna kutijica da obuhvati terorizam u Iraku,ali da u glavnoj kampanjskoj kutijica rata da bude kao sto je i sada borbe i operacije sa leve, a veci bombaski napadi na desnoj jer oni mu dodju isto kao deo rata a ne samo deo terorizma.Top Gun

I have added a "" template to the article Avivim incident, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at its talk page. Removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, but the article may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria. - Tragic Baboon (banana receptacle) 15:48, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Molba
Cao imam jednu molbu,ako bi mogao nesto da mi ucinis, jos pre vise meseci sam uradio clanak za Wikipediju pod nazivom Battle of Husaybah, jedna od poznatijih bitaka Irackog rata. Ali sada su rekli da sam previse materijala,istih recenica,iskoristio iz novinarskog izvora koji sam koristio kao referencu pa su obrisali taj clanak i blokirali su me da ga ponovo uradim. A clanak je jos uvek zaveden pod battles and operations u boksu Irackog rata. Pa ako bi umesto mene hteo da napises clanak bio bih zahvalan. Ako pristanes poslacu ti materijal referncu da iskoristis za pravljenje clanka i kako je ranije izgledao moj clanak pa ti napravi izmene. Sacekacu tvoj odgovor. Hvala. Top Gun 15:33, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Izvini sto ti nisam pre ovo poslao tek sam sad video da si mi poslao poruku.Link je Battle of Husaybah. Uvod i Aftermath su OK ali imali su problema sa The Battle delom clanka. Ovako je izgledao clanak pre kad sam ga ja uradio. Jos jednom hvala.

The Battle of Husybah was fought in the spring of 2004 during the same time as the First Battle of Fallujah. In April of 2004, Fallujah was under siege by United States Marines and insurgents were looking to relieve pressure on the city by atempting an offensive of there own. Ten days before the highway connecting Al Anbar to Baghdad was cut and the insurgents attacked the capital of the province, Ramadi. The attack was repulsed by the Marines and the battle resulted in heavy casualties on both sides. Now the insurgents were ready for another attack, on the city of Husaybah on the Syrian border.

The Battle
An estimated 300 Iraqis from Fallujah and Ramadi launched an assault against the Americans in Husaybah around eight in the morning, first detonating a roadside bombing and then hitting with 24 mortars. When Marines responded to the bombing, they were met with small-arms and machine-gun fire as they neared a former Ba'ath Party headquarters. They immediately called for a quick reaction force to help them. The force that was coming in to help was mortared and hit by machine-gun fire as they made their way into the city. The quick reaction force platoon dismounted their vehicles and countinued down the streets on foot. The fighting lasted the whole day and it was block by block. The quick reaction force started taking fire from two-story buildings. The platoon continued to push north along a street known to the Marines as "East End Street." All along the street insurgents where occupying houses and where constantly laying down fire at the Marines. The Marines continued north, all the way collecting insurgents and weapons in the back of the hummers. They got to one house that the insurgents were using as a stronghold. The Marines used a school as a rally point to take the house. All the time while trying to take out the insurgents in the house, the Marines were taking fire from every other direction. Heavy machine gun and RPG fire was coming from the insurgents inside the house and the Marines were starting to take on casualties. In addition to the small-arms fire, three rockets were fired at the house. But even that did not take out the insurgents. The platoon decided to smoke the insurgents out of the house. All nine insurgents from inside the house were eventually killed. The house would later be called by the Marines as "The Crack House". The unit continued to push through the hostile town, all the while collecting weapons and detainees as well as wounded Marines. They would meet the rest of the battalion on Market Street. Fighting continued late into the night as Marine Cobra helicopter gunships strafed enemy positions near a downtown soccer stadium and Marine helicopters continued to take wounded to their main base at Camp Al-Qaim. All of the Marines were killed in the first hour of the fighting, four of them when they went to clear out "The Crack House" where Iraqi fighters were hiding. The battalion commander, Colonel Matthew Lopez, said he believed the Marines had crushed the insurgents' attack. I don't think they expected us to retaliate as hard as we did.

Aftermath
Five Marines were killed along with 150 insurgents in the fierce battle that lasted 14 hours. Another 9 Marines were wounded and 20 insurgents captured.

Chadian-Libyan conflict
Hi Feargod, thanks for your template it's really nice, I should have thought about it myself. But I have to disagree regarding your last edit to Chadian-Libyan conflict, I don't exactly understand it. As for Opération Manta, in the edit summary you said a warbox should be built; but the problem is Operation Manta was never thought by the French as a war mission, but as a deterrence mission, and both the French and the Libyans avoided attacking each other, let alone break economic and diplomatic relations. Do you know if there's a sort of "operation box"? Ciao,--Aldux 20:45, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

BBC i Somalinet referencu sam dodao mozes da proveris, one kazu da je 1 Etiopski i 9 TFG vojnika poginulo time ostaje 12 mogucih civila to dodaj na potvrdjenih 381 u novim borbama i to je 393. Uzput 1 Etiopski mrtav od 21.marta plus potvrdjenih 36 u novim borbama to je 37.Top Gun 17:29, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Rekao bih da se bitka za Mogadisu barem za sada zavrsila pa cu promeniti u clanku da vise ne prati aktuelni dogadjaj i da je rezultat bitke bio takticki pat pozicija i strategijski gerilska pobeda.Top Gun 17:21, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Napad na Iracki parlament
Dodaj sam u clanku odeljku Napad na Iracki parlament u odeljku reakcija nakon napada da su 16.aprila clanovi kabineta koji pripadaju Sadrovoj paravojsci dali otkaz zbog sve vece nesigurnosti u Bagdadu i dbijanja da se postavi datum odlaska Amerikanaca iz Iraka.Top Gun 00:19, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

hidden redirects to advance arguments
I wish you wouldn't do that; it could been seen as a blatant attempt to confuse a closing admin. -- Kendrick7talk 20:20, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
 * When you write "Israel-Hezbollah War" as a hidden redirect, it's confusing to a third party; it makes it appear that this is aleady an established redirect, not just some WP:OR on your part. It would be better to make your agrument in full, that "a" could just as easily redirect to "b". -- Kendrick7talk 22:43, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Requesting feedback at 2006 Lebanon War talk
Hi, I noticed that you're one of the fairly active editors on the 2006 Lebanon War article. If you have a chance, please take part in the requested move discussion going on there. The move is in regards to whether we should use uppercase "War" or lowercase "war" in the article title. Whether you agree or disagree with my position, your feedback and vote would be appreciated. Cheers. — George Saliba [ talk  ] 18:25, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I realise that you are pretty busy, but I'd appreciate if you could make the new image for 2006 Lebanon War that was discussed on talk. Perhaps the composite could include a Hezbollah launcher and Israeli artillery piece, and some mixture of damage. Of course you can bring all that to talk if you have any questions :-).

disaster management
Hi,

I wanted the template there to cover the chopper shootdown (we have no other mention of it). I'm very busy on-wiki right now, but could you possibly start a short sub-stub on the shootdown for the purposes of the disasters project? Please? Thanks, Blood Red Sandman  (Talk)   (Contribs) 15:53, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

I beg to differ; only e couple of hours ago, an article I've been working on about an eleven-fatality shootdown during the 2007 Battle of Mogadishu was passed as a good article. No-one ever requested a merge or even questioned the notability of the incident since its creation a month ago, including a high-visibility period when it was on DYK. Therefore, I believe an article on the chopper shootdown should be fine. Blood Red Sandman (Talk)   (Contribs) 17:02, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Dodao sam moje komentare da se slazem sa tobom da nema potrebe spajati ona dva clanka o dva razlicita napada u Karbali, ajde OK mogu barem da se slozim sa njim da stavimo u kutijicu i onaj napad u Karbali sa 42 mrtvih od 14.aprila, mada moje licno misljenje je da taj napad nije imao neki veliki politicki ili vojni znacaj pa ga ni ne treba stavljati, ali neka. Ali strogo se protivim misljenju onog korisnika da treba da budu razdvojeni clanci.(Top Gun

Fascism in Estonia
Thanks for contributing to Fascism in Estonia. You however need to edit your contribution as it borrows too heavily on the source. Also note that the Bronze Soldier of Tallinn brought a whole wave of new editors from Estonia. They all seem to have only one agenda, rejecting what they call Soviet occupation denialism. They may see your edits as an example of this denialism. -- Petri Krohn 17:16, 18 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for nothing, so far you have not contributed anything of relevance to the article. --3 Löwi 12:31, 20 May 2007 (UTC)


 * "From the mid-1930s, when the Omakaitse adherents gained power" is exactly the kind of sentence which indicates that neither its author, nor whoever takes it seriously, possesses even trivial knowledge about Estonian history. It simply does not make sense, as Omakaitse was created only in 1941. Konstantin Päts and other people close to him who gained power in the mid-1930s never even had a chance to become "Omakaitse adherents", as by 1941 the Soviets had either executed or deported them from Estonia. I have been following your recent Estonia-related edits, TheFEARGod, and without fear of any God can tell you that most of them do not qualify for much more than insults to intelligence. Your admitted hate of fascism is okay, but please do not edit articles about things that you have no clue about. Regards,--Klamber 20:48, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

Hariri Tribunal
Hi TheFEARgod. That's a very complicated question, and the answer likely depends on who you ask. :) I may not be the best person to ask, as I don't live in Lebanon, but here it goes.

I believe there could be a few reasons that some Lebanese oppose the tribunal. First, if they were complicit in the assassination, they would oppose it for obvious reasons. For instance, different groups inside Lebanese have been suspected of having a hand in the assassination, including Hezbollah and the current president, Emile Lahoud, both of which are considered to be pro-Syrian. Obviously if they were guilty, they would oppose the tribunal, however they also might oppose the tribunal if they were innocent, but were fearful of being incriminated unjustly. Second, keep in mind that some in Lebanon do not trust the United Nations, and view it as a proxy for the United States. There are all kinds of conspiracy theories about who would have killed Hariri and why (similar to all the 9/11 conspiracies), and the pro-Syrian groups in Lebanon sometimes suspect the United States or Israel's Mossad. They're afraid that the decision of who killed Hariri has already been decided, and that the tribunal is just a show to give the United States' anti-Syrian rhetoric legitimacy, and they fear the westernization of Lebanon. Third, some in Lebanon are more fearful of a new civil war breaking out. While they might want to know who killed him, they don't want to know if it ends up causing another civil war, which could happen if the tribunal implicated a major group, such as Hezbollah. Fourth, to some degree, remember that there are ongoing anti-government protests, the goal of which is to get Hezbollah veto power in the cabinet. If the government continues to function without Hezbollah's say, it greatly diminishes the power of their protests. As such, they may just oppose the tribunal as a way to show that the current government is powerless without them, until they get veto power in the Lebanese cabinet. There's also the whole complexity with Fatah al-Islam going on now too, which also has some ties to apparently bombings in Lebanon.

Basically, it comes down to two things: nobody trusts their political enemies, and both sides are in a struggle for power. That's my take on the situation at least, but again, I'm no expert, and it's highly complex. ;) Cheers. — George [ talk  ] 19:25, 31 May 2007 (UTC)


 * The problem is that so many groups benefit from a divided or chaotic Lebanon, or, likewise, a subservient Lebanon. Syria could have assassinated Hariri to shut up the opponents to Syrian occupation of Lebanon, or to shut up those who opposed Syrian influence in politics (such as the Syrian-backed extension of the term of President Emile Lahoud). Israel or the United States would could have assassinated him to frame Hezbollah or Syria, two groups it's not too friendly with (though I suspect this move would be too risky for either, but who knows). Hezbollah could have assassinated him at the behest of Syria, or simply to defend their status as a armed militia. Fatah al-Islam or another group, Palestinian or otherwise, could have assassinated him to destabilize the country – either in the hopes of gaining political power in the aftermath, or forming a Palestinian state within Lebanon (similar to as was attempted in the civil war), or to frame Hezbollah. After all, Fatah al-Islam are religious enemies of Hezbollah, and want to be at the "forefront" of fighting Israel in their place. Or someone we haven't even thought about yet. There are a ton of possible suspects, so the case will likely come down to evidence. We'll see. ;) — George [ talk  ] 21:31, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

2006 Lebanon War Mediation
Hi, Shamir1 has opened a medation request for renaming the 2006 Lebanon War article to 2006 Israel-Hezbollah War. As someone who was involved in previous discussions on the topic, I thought you may want to join in. Cheers. — George [ talk  ] 23:02, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Just a note
While in my writing I may continue to use Israel-Hezbollah, as opposed to the additional "i", I just want you to know that does not reflect my personal opinion of whether to include it or not. While both have the exact same meaning, I acknowledge your concern that one may be more correct. I have not yet looked into the matter in great detail and do not plan on it until the bigger issue is at least somewhat settled. Just wanted to make sure there were no misunderstandings. Thanks for putting your thought into the discussion. --Shamir1 23:40, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Battle of Gaza (2007)
Proveri Timeline of the Palestinian Civil war u njemu sam uneo pojedinacno svaku zrtvu svakog incidenta u zadnja cetiri dana na osnovu Yahoo-vih vesti. Takodje danas AP news javlja da je ukupno poginulo 108 ljudi od subote. Tako sam izvrsio podelu. Jos uvek je malo haoticno ali valjda ce srediti te brojke. Danas na primer su javili da je 14 poginulo u borbi za zgradu uprave, 7 kasnije pogubljeno ispred zgrade, 18 mrtvih nadjeno posle borbe u zgradi, 1 kasnije pogubljen i vucen kroz grad i jos 3 javljeno da je poginulo a ne zna se ko su i kako su poginuli. A povrh svega toga javljaju da je danas samo 29 poginulo, a do juce je bilo 65 a sveukupno kazu 108. Sad vidi i sam pod kakvim uslovima radim. Trudim se da sto tacniji budu brojevi, ali nije lako. Npr javili da je 5 ljudi poginulo u eksploziji juce u Kan Junisu, nisu rekli ko su, pa su jutros rekli da su bili Fatovci pa veceras kazu da nije poginulo 5 nego 13, ali nije potvrdjeno.--Top Gun
