Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, you will be blocked from editing. Eli +  20:27, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

Disruptive?! How interesting. You call disruption to inform the general public about the reality in Lebanon?! I know harrassment is standard for people like you, but if you harrass me on wikipedia, I promise you there will be legal consequences.

I just noticed your message today, and your record of threatening people that disagree with you. I don't think you understand the concept of wikipedia. Illegal militias can point guns at us in Lebanon because we refuse to be racists, sectarians, religious separatists and civil wars, but not on wikipedia. You calling every person who disagrees with you "disruptive" is a form of harassment. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&search=user+talk%3A%3Celie+plus%3E. Notice that the non-sectarians (= non-racists, do not segregate people by religion) on this list have not sent threats to anyone.

Here's what wikipedia replied when I contacted them complaining them about that: Thank you for your note and I understand your concern. This type of issue is better dealt with on the specific wikipedia site(s) where the problem is taking place. Can I suggest you review the comments at  first, and follow the suggested steps for resolution there.Halayc (talk) 04:25, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give Lebanese parliamentary election, 2013 a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Lebanese parliamentary elections, 2013. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you. Frood! Ohai What did I break now? 01:53, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

hi Frood, I realized after the fact that I should have "moved" the page instead of copying and pasting. I can't move the page now (because the target page already has content), but it looks like wikipedia took care of the re-direct. I thought deleting the original (now empty) page would be less confusing, but I'll let you sort that out. thanks!

Re: Lebanese parliamentary election, 2013
Hi Halayc, thanks for your message. I was going to mention that your page-move could have been done differently, but I see from the post above that Frood has already looked after that issue. It seems a few things are missing, but I'll wait 'til after the proposed merge before I go any farther. Have yourself a great day, and happy editing! :) -- WikHead (talk) 02:04, 11 May 2012 (UTC)


 * I fixed the "cut and paste move" issue, and then moved the page to Lebanese general election, 2013 because that is how the other Lebanese election articles are titled (see Lebanese general election, 2009 and Lebanese general election, 2005). --Metropolitan90 (talk) 02:25, 11 May 2012 (UTC)


 * thanks, the changes make sense, and I'll just add on to the page from here
 * You're most certainly welcome... with a special thanks to Metropolitan90! :) -- WikHead (talk) 06:59, 12 May 2012 (UTC)

Wikipedia Help Survey
Hi there, my name's Peter Coombe and I'm a Wikimedia Community Fellow working on a project to improve Wikipedia's help system. At the moment I'm trying to learn more about how people use and find the current help pages. If you could help by filling out this brief survey about your experiences, I'd be very grateful. It should take less than 10 minutes, and your responses will not be tied to your username in any way.

Thank you for your time,
