Thanks for the kind words!
HS,

Thanks for the kind words. It's a little frustrating at first to have even simple grammatical edits reverted, but it looks like this is more of an exception than the rule on Wikipedia. Thank you for the compliments; I am looking forward to collaborating with you as well!

Al-Aqsa Intifada
The following highly dubious information is completely uncited in that section of Al-Aqsa Intifada.

"They claim that Arabs "used the visit as an excuse for the violence that the Arabs planned to carry out after the failure of the Camp David summit in July, 2000" Some Palestinian officials admitted this claim"

"The killings were captured on video by an Italian TV crew and broadcast on TV; the picture (to the right) of one of the lynchers waving his blood-stained hands from the window, shocked and outraged many around the world, and became another iconic image".

So why did you remove the fact tags?

Secondly, can you explain why you removed all mention of the Israeli rioting, despite it being an enormously significant event that contributed to the violence and was mentioned in the Or inquiry?
 * In response to the Arab Israeli riots, thousands of Jewish Israelis rioted in Nazareth and Tel Aviv, throwing stones at Arabs, destroying Arab property and chanting "Death to Arabs" . Two Arabs were killed in the violence and Haaretz editorialized that that year's "Yom Kippur will be infamous for the violent, racist outburst by Jews against Arabs within Israel".

Vorkuta
Hi! In September of 2004 you added an image to the Vorkuta article. The image included a caption comparing the Soviet slogan at the entrance to the town with German's slogan Arbeit macht frei. I found that comparison to be somewhat biased and inaccurate, and thus removed the comparative portion of the caption. This, however, ignited a revert war over the caption among other users. I have abstained from the discussion and protected the article today to prevent further reverts. I am wondering, however, if you would be interested to join the discussion at Talk:Vorkuta. I thought that you as the originator should know about this debate. Thanks.&mdash;Ëzhiki (ërinacëus amurënsis) • (yo?); 15:12, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi Humus - I am currently translating article Western Wall into Italian (see here - the article is currently called Wailing Wall, but it will be moved to Westernat the end of translation), and to be able to use the image in the title I had to copy from en.wiki and upload to commons. I have shown your name as first uploader, and I hope you will forgive if I will appear as uploader in commons. I would be grateful if you could review the type of license - the one in Commons is not the same as in en.wiki. All the best. UbUb 11:38, 15 April 2006 (UTC) PS : this is my user page in it.wiki

admin
I noticed a little while ago that you have 11,000+ edits, and are somehow not an admin. If I nominated you, would you accept the nom? --Bachrach44 18:46, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Another Sockpuppet?
Greetings having followed a bit of the talk and edits on The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, I couldn't help notice how much User:Jibal's edits are like User:69.248.237.88's (who in fact was admin User:Arminius, see this report and this). I noticed that you had tangled a bit with User:69.248.237.88 and so I thought you should be aware of my concerns. Netscott 07:25, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

you've been nominated
 Bachrach44 would like to nominate you to be an administrator. Please visit Requests for adminship to see what this process entails, and then contact Bachrach44 to accept or decline the nomination. A page has been created for your nomination at Requests for adminship/. If you accept the nomination, you must formally state your acceptance and answer the questions on that page. Once you have answered the questions, you may post your nomination for discussion, or request that your nominator do so.

Whenever you're ready to go, add your sub-page to the WP:RFA page. (I've already entered my "seed" vote, so there's no need to wait for me). Instructions are here. Keep in mind that people frequently ask more questions, so if you're not going to be online for the last 2 days of pesach, you may want to hold off till after the chag, but it's entirely up to you. --Bachrach44 02:42, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Temple in Jerusalem dates
I'm somewhat puzzled by your remarks in the edit history above article. WP:MOS clearly states that both BCE/CE and BC/AD are commonly accepted. The original article used BC/AD until you changed it. While I would agree with you that it's been changed long enough ago that a wholesale change back to BC/AD doesn't make sense, I do disagree with your initial change, as well as the (as least that's how it appears to me) arrogant way in which you point to WP:MOS as if it supports your view. Hirudo 03:54, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the RfA Vote!
Dear Humus: Thanks for the vote of confidence on the RfA, even though I doubt I'll be approved. Would you do me another favor? User Doright has appeared on my RfA and is commenting negatively, as you might imagine. Since I've long ago committed to ignoring him, would you offer some insight, since you were there during most of it?

I hope that you had a joyful and fulfilling Passover! --CTSWyneken 16:02, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Your RfA
FYI, Masssiveego has added questions to the end of your RfA. JoshuaZ 21:35, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Martin Luther (Again)
SlimVirgin is backing Doright in an attempt to list Luther in both the catagory of Antisemitism (which was our comprimise, if you recall) and Antisemitic people. Would you weigh in? It's beginning to be an edit war. --CTSWyneken 01:59, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

Michaels did not say the words in the quote
Dear Humus: Did you miss my note on the talk page? These are not Dr. Michael's words. Doright has confused an abstract with his words. In the essay itself, Dr. Michael says nothing of the kind. He sharply criticizes a number of Luther scholars, but nothing like what the abstractor says. In short, it is a fraud. I can help you get a hold of the essay, if you'd like. But I will not support academic fraud.

Also, since you're here, I'd like your opinion on my actions in the latest dust up. Am I at all out of line? --CTSWyneken 02:52, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

I appreciate you dropping by. I saw that you didn't change the attribution, which was my concern. I don't know about the title, since, to be fair, we would be using full titles with all the scholars. That could get a little unwieldy. But that's simply my preferences. I have nothing against putting in the title itself. --CTSWyneken 10:31, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Humus: Would you change the ascription to the Michael's quote back? An edit war will ensue if I have to do it. I cannot in good conscience leave this alone, since I have the essay in front of me and these are not Michael's words. If you'd like, I can help you get the essay. Thanks! --CTSWyneken 12:21, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

Martin Luther
Dear Humus:

That would be fine. I respect Dr. Michael a great deal. He has a strong opinion that naturally many disagree with, but he is always a gentleman. When you're done, I would appreciate having you verify my words to be true. It would help much to have an independent verification of my integrity.

There actually is much that will be useful on the Martin Luther and the Jews page as well. Luther is much more complex than his cheerleaders in Lutheranism portray him or the he was just a hater of Jews crowd proclaim.

In the in end, it makes little difference. His hateful words are completely unacceptable and harmful, even if they were not the cause of the Nazi attrocities nor particularly infleuncial between his time and theirs.

Still, between us, I think we can work to represent the scholarship on the issue, no matter what others do. --CTSWyneken 10:32, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

KKK image
I have no beef with restoring the Holocaust denial image; my major edit was actually a reversion because of the consensus that the article was declining in quality (the image had little to do with it). Ashibaka tock 11:11, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Hamas
Hi Humus,

if I can momentarily tear you away from contentedly gazing at your growing pile of RfA votes... (well, that's probably what I'd be doing), I have had some problems at Hamas where my attempts to introduce a couple of factual corrections met with a very hostile response; perhaps my motives were misunderstood. Anyway, I have decided not to edit the page again for the moment, but I must admit I'm still bothered by the inaccuracies; see my latest contribution to the talk page for a summary of the issue, or further up for the full details and unfortunate conversation. I'd appreciate it if you could look into it. Palmiro | Talk 11:25, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, of course they are linked with the MB in Egypt, the thing is they were established by MB figures in Gaza, including Yassin and Zahar, not by the Egyptian MB, so the way the thing is currently phrased misleadingly suggests a stronger Egyptian connection than is in fact the case and says nothing about their origins in the Palestinian MB. I have produced relevant sources (and will bring another one along shortly) but it looks like anything I put on the page will just get reverted, so there's not much point trying.

Thank you
Thank you humus. I have noticed that you are a new administrator, Congratulations! By the way, I have read an article a few weeks ago about humus. That article said that both Palestinians and Israelis claim that they have invented it :) Even humus is a controversial issue there :) Anyway, I could not find any article talking about the beginnings of the Arab-Zionism conflict (I have wrote both in small letter because I dont know how to allow for a lower case search, please advice). The current Arab-Israeli conflict page is very concise and does not reflect the momentum of that conflict. It is rather vague while it should clearly state the reasons to the reader. If an agreement on details could not be reached in the Reasons section, at least a brief view should be written. My statement was that Jews believe the land is their biblical promised land and the arabs believe it is their land. If you see another reasons for the conflict let me know. I like to learn too :) Cheers --A rihani 11:01, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Martin Luther and the Jews
Dear Humus:

Good to see you back at this page. A few observerations on the material you just added.

1 -- The first sentence covers material earlier on in the essay. Could you move it there? 2 -- At least one editor (not me) has expressed that he thinks we have too many quotations. Would you be willing to summarize the material? We would, of course, leave the reference. 3 -- I think details of which territories enacted anti-Jewish laws or enforced them would be useful here. Does Johnson give any cited detail?

If you feel detail is still missing on this aspect, I'll do a little more work here.

I am trying to fade back a bit. I do not like my personal integrity constantly assaulted and scholar disparaged. This tends to get me angry, which is not a good mood to be in when trying to edit topics like this one. I've gone to your talk page because even my most simple posts generates too much emotion there.

So, if you come to wonder why I'm not as quick as usual, that's it. --CTSWyneken 10:48, 28 April 2006 (UTC)


 * As you're discussing the article here, I'll leave my response here. The first sentence is fine where it is. The quotation is fine too. And so far as I know, Johnson doesn't give details of the various territories, beyond what's already on the page. Hope that's enough. SlimVirgin (talk) 11:02, 28 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Dear Slim: this is here because I'm trying to work with Humus. I'm not going to debate it with you. He will do whatever he wishes. I respect him and are likely to let it go at that. So, please, would you stay out of this conversation? --CTSWyneken 11:25, 28 April 2006 (UTC)


 * No, I will not stay out of this conversation. This is a wiki. I'm responding because this is your usual modus operandi. Humus makes an edit, a good one, but within minutes, a post from you with instructions and questions, and could he look for more, please, and "does Johnson happen to mention whether ...", and now Humus is probably wishing he hadn't bothered. You have to stop this. No one likes it. SlimVirgin (talk) 11:34, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

Dear Humus, no, I do not need the pages themselves. I trust you there. I may well have this one on the shelf at the library, in any case. I think it was JPGordon who was wondering about the quotation frequency. It doesn't bother me either way. The reason for my wishing to move the first sentence is that it helps the chronology of the events leading up to Luther's tirade. Where it is now it amounts to a flash back. --CTSWyneken 11:29, 28 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Here's my two cents: why don't you take it to the relevant talk page? Don't the rest of the contributors get a say? If Humus cares enough about his edit, he'll go and argue with you there. As it is, you're personalising the debate over the content of a specific article way too much. -- Chodorkovskiy  ( talk )  11:57, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

Common Era
It's pretty futile to go against BC/AD, since the "common era" is based on the exact same calendar. Besides, if you're worried about the religious connotations, most people interpret BCE/CE to be "Before the Christian Era/Era of Christ" and "The Christian Era/Era of Christ." There's no reason to be misleading. Even if you type a BCE/CE date into the search box (ex. 5 BCE), you'll get the date converted to BC/AD anyways. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mets (talk • contribs)

I posted a sockpuppetry case about User:Big.p here: Suspected sock puppets almost a full day ago. Nobody seems to be convering those things. Would you like to come deal with it? He's clogging up my talk page with inanities and making my ears hurt! Thanks, Sasha a.k.a - CrazyRussian talk/contribs/email 00:50, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
 * He violated 3.1 of WP:SOCK (Voting) at least once and maybe twice on the AfD I referred to, and NPA at least 3 times. - CrazyRussian talk/contribs/email 01:57, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
 * NPA violations on my talk twice, on the AfD page, and on the sockpuppet page. - CrazyRussian talk/contribs/email 02:00, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks buddy, I can't even get myself to do homework so it probably would've taking me forever to do that.- Moshe Constantine Hassan Al-Silverburg | Talk 01:26, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Better late than never
Fantastic, so now you are an administrator! I would have come earlier, but could not on account of my sickness from 3rd April to 24th April 2006 resulting into my wiki-absence. I convey my congratulations to you on your elevation as an administrator, and wish you all the best! Have you ever seen me around? I am just curious! --Bhadani 15:26, 6 May 2006 (UTC)


 * You should have told me you were up for RFA! Or I should have checked... anyway, congratulations. Briangotts (Talk) (Contrib) 15:45, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Lebanon
Hi Humus,

either my slow connection is producing weird results or something very strange has happened to Syrian presence in Lebanon - it looks from where I am that both page contents and page history have been deleted. Can you check it out?

I see the Hamas issue I raised with you has been solved - if that was due to an intevention on your part, thanks. All the best, Palmiro | Talk 16:35, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Re: Your insult
I am not going to use the same adjectives that you have used in your message. I do not think that you consider telling the truth or enticing others to do so is an act of shame. I do still consider you a good man and urge you, before judging people, to see what Pecher has done with complete denial of the facts and the truth. Cheers--A rihani 19:11, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Redirect favor
Hello Humus, I was wondering if you could redirect "Marius" to Gaius Marius and then I will add a link to the disambiguation page on top of the article, if you are familar with pre-imperial roman history you will know that probably 90% of the people typing in Marius would have Gaius in mind, but may not know his first name. Anyways I couldn't figure out how to make the redirect work.- Moshe Constantine Hassan Al-Silverburg | Talk 08:52, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Man thats pretty wierd. I tried doing it but for some reason it didn't seem to work, so I assumed I needed admin privledges, maybe it just needed to load for a couple minutes or somthing. Thanks anyways though.- Moshe Constantine Hassan Al-Silverburg | Talk 10:02, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Nice
Yeah, it was nice – I took Hummus for the first time. But, similar dishes I had taken earlier. And, the one you had sent is really nice. Yes, now I am feeling better with friend like you around me. Thanks and regards. --Bhadani 09:18, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
