Edit war on List of political epithets
Thanks for your dialogue on the edits to the use of 'self-hating Jew'. Whilst I'm glad that we came to a slightly more consensual wording, I'm not going to actually alter anything right at the moment because I'm not interested in taking part in the current edit war which seems to be rumbling on. Some participants can't be bothered to use the talk page (perhaps due to its massive length) and Godwin's Law has been broken one too many times for my liking. I have suggested to Liftarn that he/she calms down a bit and tries to separate his edits up. I think he/she has become unecessarily offended, but will hopefully calm down and start citing the more controversial additions on the talk page. Perhaps I will make some more suggestions, as I don't think his motivation is malicious.

I might also try and add some material (of a general nature) to Self-hatred at some point, if I can find the Journal references in my horrible filing system. I'll put anything on talk page first though. Thanks. illWill 23:57, 3 August 2005 (UTC)


 * Grr. I would have gotten away with it if it weren't for the meddling, all-powerful Wikicabal. I knew I'd go the way of Sollog and David Icke sooner or later :) illWill 21:28, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

Yigal Amir
Please remove the protection, according to the the page it's seems like most of the wikipedian prefering not to use the word "murder" there. I think that putting a protection on the article without adding a POV message is an abuse of adminship. I also would like to add some details to the article. --Haham hanuka 18:18, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

Hello!

Thanks for your support in my RFA. While you were correct that I'm unlikely to abuse admin commands, what you failed to take into account is that I intend to abuse admins themselves! :) kmccoy (talk) 23:16, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

Apartheid editor
Well, I'm kinda lazy; I always search first on the page to see if the IP is already there, so the order doesn't matter. Besides, dupes don't exactly hurt, do they? Doesn't make much difference if he's using 100 sockies or 101. --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 17:09, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

I see you have yourself encountered this user, so might your attention be drawn to this notice? It appears that he intends for each account to become more disruptive even while his "normal" one goes unperturbed. --TJive 05:15, August 7, 2005 (UTC)

Great tag-team work with User:FeloniousMonk on Chip Berlet. Two minutes after they edited it! I'll have to keep that tactic in mind for future use. Noel (talk) 19:48, 7 August 2005 (UTC)


 * I am assured that this was not your intent, and that the timing was purely because it showed up again on your recent-changes. However, for future reference, if you were concerned about the edit war and were keeping an eye on the article, it would have been much better if you had protected the earlier version (TJive's compromise wording) - doing that would have completely avoided the appearance of being partial.

Revert
Any reason you reverted me? The anon is a blocked disruptive editor. Jayjg (talk) 06:19, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Sorry for reverting you, but the comment was on a talk page, and in direct response to a comment by you. I don't think it is appropriate to make it look as though there was no opposition. You should just ignore it. (Then I don't know precisely what this editor has done in the past. Your action might have been warranted. I won't interfere if you revert me.) &mdash; David Remahl 06:22, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

Comments are one thing, but personal attacks from Disruptive banned editors are another... Jayjg (talk) 06:26, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

The Perfect Matrimony
Hi!

I'm in the process of migrating articles marked with the old cleanup syntax to the new cleanup syntax. Due to the administrative difficulties in actively maintaining the list of articles needing cleaning in the old system, the majority of articles still listed in the archives have, in fact, been cleaned. I admit the process I take to determine an article's cleanliness is at times rushed (thousands of articles per day) but generally it is visible by just looking at the page and if not, the history since the cleanup tag was first used.

The article The Perfect Matrimony has undergone significant revision since its cleanup tag was first posted. Since it is not immediately apparent (due to stylistic elements) that the page needs cleanup, you should add the tag   to it (instead of    as well as list it over at Cleanup.

Censorship of criticism?
Hello Jayjg, I've been wondering about the removal of content generally through alleged "personal attacks" or WP:NOR or WP:POINT and I have to say I don't see how the following anon's comment you removed earlier today fits the definition of a personal attack? it seems like merely a challenge for you to explain apparent inconsistency, you can certainly choose to ignore the challenge but please don't delete it:


 * I'm waiting to see what other state publicly announces that it intends to employ assassinations, including assassinations on foreign soil Israel to kill in U.S., allied nations. Assassinations and helicopeter hits on wheelchair-bound clerics are terrorizing activity. Jayjg, why don't you do something, like write an article about another state's terrorism if you think it merits an article. Wikipedia is wide open for more information that you could provide.69.209.203.45 05:28, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

See a discussion here as well. zen master T 16:50, 8 August 2005 (UTC)


 * But your checkin comment claimed that the paragraph you were deleting was a personal attack, but I don't see how that is possible? There really really needs to be some sort of policy against censorship if entire paragraphs can be deleted merely because they were posted by a "disruptive" and/or "subsequently banned" editor with no consideration of the content itself, do you see the censorship danger here? Also, the paragraph you tried to delete seems like a very reasonable challenge for you to explain inconsistency to me... zen master T 16:59, 8 August 2005 (UTC)


 * I did read your comment. "Edits" means to actual articles, does it not? How is a talk page discussion post an "edit"? If you removed the paragraph merely because the anon was disruptive why did your checkin comment errantly claim there was a personal attack in the paragraph? Do you at all acknowledge the potential for censorship if someone mistakingly construes a debate consistency challenge with a personal attack? zen master T 17:09, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

No further comment on your apparent misinterpretation or mischaracterization of the anon's paragraph that you deleted? zen master T 20:47, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

Platypus Rex Support
Jayjg,

Thank you for your unconditional support in the revert war over the Platypus Rex page. People like Jyaus constantly delete the contents for fun and amusement and I and forever thankful for the support that you have given me for my credibility. To further show my thanks for your support, I have mentioned your name on the page. If you wish to, please feel free to endorse the credibility of the page. Just an option. Also, please help keep an eye on the page and revert any future vandalism caused by the likes of Jyaus. Thanks again for your support.

Grateful, --Killertunes 08:24, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

Jayjg, As a actual member of the band Platypus Rex, I can assure you that Killertunes' biography is completely false; for instance, if Glen Daniels were Time magazine's Man of the Year, surely he'd be easily able to provide documentation! (It's not as if Time is a low-circulation magazine.) A photograph of a book cover is the best he's been able to do -- while the band's actual website (www.platypusrex.org) openly contradicts him. -Jyaus

Passover disambig
Please take a look at Passover, which someone has decided to make into a "disambiguation" page so that anyone looking for the link to "Passover" on Wikipedia (and there are many articles with links to it) will now get a Jewish and Christian version/choice. Do you agree to this move and what can be done? As far as I know, Passover is strictly a Jewish holiday and it is most certainly NOT an official Christian holiday AFAIK. Thanks.

Kishinev
Interestingly, though User:DonaldDuck clearly represents a strong POV, he is basically right in this case. Though there was certainly local incitement, and there were no clear orders from Moscow to stop the riots, historians have been unable to demonstrate that the pogrom itself was orchestrated from Moscow, although other pogroms certainly had more central planning. At least this is the argument I have picked up from reviews of what is supposedly the definitive work on the subject, Kishinev: Anatomy of a Pogrom by Edward H. Judge. --Goodoldpolonius2 16:55, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

Jayjg,

I am sorry to hear that you do not support our version of the Platypus Rex page. I understand however. It is alright if you choose not to help with our cause, but I only ask that you do not support Jyaus and his bogus claims on credibility. His webpage is highly suspect. With this letter I am removing your name from the Platypus Rex page claiming your support. Once again, I am very disappointed with the news, but I respect your decisions.

I extended the definition of the category a little, because sometimes Israelis are captured in dictatorial countries, brought there to court and later exchanged against criminals from the country in question.

Re: kashrut/Macht/Johns Hopkins/Lancet/Biblical Archeological Review
Dear Sir,

Johns Hopkins, Lancet (UK's premiere medical journal), and BAR are all mainstream science. I also see that one person restored what one person deleted with no commentary and with no comments in the talk page, thus I see no general reaction that the material should not be there. I also offered opposing arguments so it is not POV. I am returning the material to the article. I respect your right to disagree but I do not believe in arbitrary exclusion. I have no desire to get into a edit war. That is why I offered opposing arguments. Please be reasonable here.

Lastly, science is probabilistic and provisional. I would be happy if you found and offered material which falsified/controverted the Macht/JohnsHopkins, Lancet, and BAR material.

Samaria
Some IP has been removing the term "Samaria" from the Israel unilateral disengagement plan article, claiming that it's "Zionist POV." In the article, the term "Samaria" is used to specifiy a portion of the West Bank that is relevant to the article. I doubt that this anon is acting in good faith (I've notice a number of vandalism warnings on his talk page), but if term is really considered POV, I'll obviously leave the changes alone. HKT talk 23:22, 15 August 2005 (UTC)


 * So far as I know, only Zionists call the northern West Bank "Samaria". It's a politically loaded and POV term. Our article on Samaria reflects that. If you think that it has wider application, perhaps you could source it. I don't think anyone should have a problem with its being used to describe the area being "disengaged" from, so long as on first mention it's fully clear that it's not necessarily a broadly accepted term.


 * And I'd rather not bicker over what we'd mean by "Zionist". Our article on Zionism is clear enough on what Zionism was and what it tends to be today. If you can think of a better word for the grouping who thinks that particular area of the world is called Samaria, please do put that.Grace Note 03:47, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

Categories
What is the policy on including a category in both another parent category and one of that parent's stub categories? User:Amcaja has been editing many of the categories on Category:Deities by culture, to which I added many, many subcats, so that those subcats no longer appear. They still appear in other subcategories of Deities by culture but it's a bit more inconvenient for navigate For example, Category:Altaic deities used to appear both in Category:Deities by culture and Category:Siberian deities, which itself also appeared in Category:Deities by culture. Amcaja has changed it so that Altaic Deities appears only in Siberian deities. To get there from Deities by culture you now must click on Asian deities, then Siberian deities, then Altaic deities. Seems rather counterproductive to me but I wanted to get a sense of what the policy is before I confront him (cordially, of course) on it and the policy page seems kind of vague on this point (not sure if it constitutes a "loop"). --Briangotts (talk) 16:16, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

List of Political Epithets
Hi Jay, I'll take a detailed look at the article tomorrow and try and make some suggestions. I'm a bit busy tonight to give it my best attention, and I think it's a bit more complex than the average dispute becuase it stretches across so many sections. I think there's a lot of problems with the article which could be helped by some consistency, and you're right that there's a lot of WP:POINT problems, although it's not just restricted to Liftarn, or Jewish-related sections (although that's the bulk of them). I'll try and make some suggestion on Talk which might calm things down. 22:27, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

Re: Zionist Cabal taking over Wikipedia Wikipedia Intelligence Report #001

The following is an incomplete list of those suspected to be members of, or to be the "useful idiots" of, the so-called "Elders of Wikipedia" (the Zionist cabal which has Wikipedia in its grip). Those at the top of the list are definite members and are the most ruthless and vicious of the bunch; those at the bottom I'm less sure about. Monitor the activities of the first 5 on the list (watch their user contribution pages and their user talk pages) and you'll have a good idea of what the entire gang is up to.

List of political epithets again
Hi Jay. I’ve taken a look at the edit history of the article and, whilst it is true that Liftrarn is disrupting this article to make a point, If I'm being fair I can vaguely understand why he’s doing it. I think there seems to be a greater burden of proof attached to certain sections, which is based on the fact that many editors originate from common backgrounds where epithets can be understood to mean the same things – and so less proof is required to them. This also means that people are more used to collaborating with each other to produce mutually acceptable definitions. You personally don’t need to be told that when the term ‘Zionist’ appears in a Syrian newspaper op-ed it isn’t referring to Theodore Herzl, but this might be a lot less obvious to people from different backgrounds (such as many of my fellow leftists, for example). Conversely, when I read the word ‘Commie,’ I can easily work out whether it is an accurate description of somebody’s politics or a political slur, but I can’t assume the same of everybody. The large number of individual sections of the article, and correspondingly large number of editors/viewpoints, mean that it’s pretty messy, and so much easier to devolve into edit wars.

I think the focus on the Jewish section is not too surprising because there are a number of editors who are working from a specific viewpoint (pro-Israeli, if somebody wants to be reductive), whose views sometimes coincide with a number of right-wingers who also edit the article (including troublemakers like Coqsportif). This gives the article the impression of being slanted towards one POV occasionally, even if this isn’t actually the case. Liftarn seems to have become annoyed at being outnumbered, and is reacting by disrupting the article. Personally, I don’t think Liftarn’s inputs to the article are much more disruptive than some of Guy Montag’s, who has also removed compromise edits on a number of occasions, though this is may be to do with difficulty in keeping track of a very fragmented talk page discussion.

There is also an inherent difficulty in citing and sourcing this article in that political epithets, by their very nature, are often euphemistic and change their meaning depending on who uses them and in what context they are used. For example, the only people that I have ever heard use the term ‘Islamofascist’ are islamophobes, so I would naturally lean towards including that information in the article. However, this is possibly because, unlike US-based editors, I live in a country with a high Muslim population where it is not acceptable to use that term in print, so I try and assume that the term has different connotations in different countries, based on different media standards. Conversely, the terms ‘Judeofascism’ and ‘Zionazi’ are sometimes used in my personal experience by people who are not anti-Semites, but just lack tact and/or experience of talking politics with Jewish people, whereas I doubt this is the case in the US as people are more aware of Jewish concerns, and also more likely to be offended by the term ‘Nazi’ than they are here. This is only an example, as I think similar distinctions would apply to many, if not the majority, of the epithets cited. Consider the wildly varying interpretations of a term such as ‘liberal’, which means utterly different things in different English-speaking populations.

The problem is cased by the extent to which people keep asserting their own understandings of the epithets – to use Guy as an example again, I don’t think he is very well placed to understand the use of terms in circles politically critical to Israel (which are more diverse than he credits), as his reaction will always be emotionally clouded by preconceived opinions. In my own case, I wouldn’t pronounce on the use of certain terms (such as 'blue dog democrat') in US conservative circles to the extent that I don’t know very much about them.

The only suggestion that I can make is that editors try and find a common format for all the epithets. via discussion on talk page, and stick to it rigorously. I would say that each one needs to have a description of the term without an assumption of the type of people who use it, and shying away from complicated descriptions of context and interpretation. Even if this means actually deleting most of the cites, it would be better than the amateur textual interpretations which currently comprise many of them. Either that, or each and every definition must be expanded to include context. I’m not sure exactly how to go about it, but consistency is what’s needed.

I have copied this message (following a bit of context) onto Liftarn’s talk page, and will try and think of something to put on the talk page of the article. As it currently stands, it is non-encyclopaedic, and a POV playground. Sorry if I don’t have too much time – I’m moving house at the moment. Get back to me with your thoughts, and maybe we could put detailed suggestions on the talk paage for the benefit of all editors. Thanks illWill 17:24, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

Names and titles of Jesus -- maybe "clearer and shorter", but really clearly wrong
If you don't know the linguistics involved, then maybe you should be less bold in decorrecting my corections -- Yeshua` and `Isa CANNOT be "derived from the same root" (as the older version has it), since the consonants occur in a DIFFERENT ORDER (yod-shin-waw-`ayin in Hebrew, `ayn-ya-sin-ya in Arabic). And the word "modern" when applied to transcriptions such as "Yahshua" has an inappropriate positive emotional value which makes it seem as if they must be more accurate than older transcriptions, when actually they're much LESS accurate than the older transcriptions.

Jesus and Judaism
I noticed you deleted what I wrote concerning Jesus being the Jewish Messiah. I see how you might think that it's not exactly NPOV, perhaps we should modify it instead of deleting it entirely.

Also, in that paragraph, there is a line concerning Chabad-Lubavitch which seems to say that lubavitchers are no longer waiting for Messiah. I removed this line entirely because it is misleading. Lubavitchers claim to know who Messiah is, but that are certainly still waiting his arrival.

Therefore, I ask that 1. The part of Jesus being Messiah should be put back, albeit modified. 2. The part about Chabad Lubavitch should be modified to make it more clear that Lubavitchers do not believe that Messiah has arrived. Mench 22:35, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

You're very good at employing EVERY SINGLE wikipedia rule in its smallest technicality to your own benifit; and so keeping anything that you deem dangerous to your agenda out of articles. It is my personal belief that you do have an agenda.

So far it has been noted by so many that you have hounded countless genuine contributors to this encyclopaedia to the point where any input they had was watered down to nothing of any worth. It's a peverted tactic.

I thought I tried to push my point across respectfully and without resorting to put-downs... I don't know, just feel a little disappointed and frustrated in my first conversation with you; I expected a little more but, hey, we're all human after all.

I didn't take it as a personal attack though, but there surely are better examples than that to express your point. In any event, the fact that Semitic and Anti-Semitic aren't exactly antonyms will lead to confusion, especially users as little "enlightened" as yours truly. I think it deserves at least a side note in the first paragraph even if it is to set the reader's mindset on the right track. But I'll leave it there, I think you understand my position.

I've never seen it suggested that she is Jewish - can you cite a source for this assertion? Adam 12:29, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

The issue is not whether she is Jewish, but whether it has been claimed that she is. If it has been claimed, then you can't object to the article saying that it has.

We are getting confused between two statements.
 * The statement "Murdoch's mother is Jewish" is false and should not be allowed to appear in the article.
 * The statement "some people claim Murdich's mother is Jewish" is true, and cannot be deleted. It can however be amended to say "some people (namely anti-Semites) falsely claim that Murdoch's mother is Jewish." Adam 03:44, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

Reopen 911 link removal
Hey Jayjg, I was wondering why did you remove the link to reopen911.org website, from 9/11 conspiracy theories page? The website is perfectly valid in the context of everything else on that page (even if it's poorly designed). Any reason for this?

(Jayjg 22:52, 12 September 2005 (UTC): It doesn't seem particularly encyclopedic; hard to really tell what is on it, in fact.)

Ok, but that seems so (to you) because you haven't seen their documentary. I assumed as much since I really believe that should you have seen it, you would not remove the link. Their website really is badly designed, but the 3 hour documentary features various experts talking precisely about the subject of the page, on a seminar that unfortunately recieved very little, if any, media coverage. I don't think the website is less encyclopedic than for example the website linked under "Question 9/11, a collection of free video downloads about 9/11" (http://question911.com).

Hi. There is an email on the WikiEN-l mailing list from someone named Zephram Stark who has made certain accusations about your conduct. I thought you'd like to know. The archived copy of that message is here. - Mark 03:14, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

Israel
Can we do something about this silly dispute at Israel. The State of Israel was not the birthplace of either Judaism or Christianity. This statement is highly tendentious, and is obviously being inserted for political reasons. I don't mind some comment to this effect in the history section, but putting it in the opening section is misleading and provocative. Adam 06:04, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

Ed Poor case closed
Hi Jayjg. I wondered if you are aware that Ed Poor's case was closed yesterday only a short time after I had presented my rather lengthy evidence, and only a couple of hours after a motion to close was made? Did you get the opportunity to read through my presentation? I was in fact in the process of adding to it and preparing a statement of conclusions when the case closed. Are you satisfied with how this was handled? Paul August ☎ 15:10, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

University of Miami
I saw you have dealt with User:Brian Brockmeyer before and was wondering what you thought I should do about his latest antics? On the University of Miami page, there is a section of notable alumni. They are organized by field (arts and entertainment, athletics, business, politics, televsion and attended but did not graduate). The problem arises because football player Ray Lewis played football at Miami but received his degree from the University of Maryland. Brockmeyer won't allow the player to be listed in the "attended but did not graduate" category, and on 3 or 4 occasions now, I have added the note that Lewis got his degree from UMD, Brockmeyer reverts it. It looks like you have a lot of experience will settling disputes, what do you think? Thanks. AriGold 16:05, 14 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Where you've dealt with him before.
 * Now it looks like he is making the changes under two names, both the Brian one and now JuicedPalmeiro, or something like that. If it's not the same person, they must just edit the same pages.

Humble request
Hello Jajyg -- hope all is well with you and yours. Could I ask you to wind down Articles for deletion/The Nazi Connection to Islamic Terrorism according to your best lights? No one has voted there for days. Many thanks. BrandonYusufToropov 10:20, 15 September 2005 (UTC)


 * My sentiments precisely -- thanks for pointing this complex bird in the right direction. BrandonYusufToropov 22:23, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

Divided Attention?
Jay, by my rough estimate, you spend an average of about 4 minutes per edit for nine hours a day. While you may not like my attitude, it has been clear to me on a couple occasions that you've made comments and edits without quite understanding what the situation is. You end up being obstructionist more than anything else when you do this. Please at least give this some thought. Marsden 03:51, 16 September 2005 (UTC)


 * Let me be clear: my concern is that you have been obstructionist.  Give some indication that you have actually considered the discussions and the comments of others before you make a comment of your own or an edit, and I'll never have cause to question how much time you spend on each of your edits.  Is that so very much to ask?  Marsden 20:16, 16 September 2005 (UTC)


 * I don't think my article Occupied Territories (Israeli) is POV. Yes, some POVs don't like the term "Occupied Territories" when used to refer to the territories occupied by Israel after the Six-Day War, but that is the term used broadly by the Western Press (excepting, as you noted, AzerTag, although I'm not certain that Azer Baijan is Western), by the United Nations, by the United States State Department.  I consider it NPOV, though you may note that I clearly indicated in the article that it is a contentious term.  I am disappointed, Jay, with your ominous comment "If you prefer I can turn your fork (sic) into a re-direct. Think carefully about that please."  I am not sure how I am supposed to take that comment, but I would hope that we could come to a reasonable compromise through discussion.  Also, while you have recommended that my article be merged with the vaguely related article on the Occupation of Palestinian territories, it would again be disappointing if you have already resolved unilaterally and oblivious of my comments that it "will be merged," as you have written to me.  You might have noticed that Brian Tvedt described my article as "a good start," and recommended -- contrary to your apparent intent -- that "whatever is sensible" in the "Occupation of Palestinian territories" be merged into it.  Jay, your POV is not the NPOV, and you are doing a disservice, in my opinion, to this community when you continually make changes without discussion much less consensus.  Marsden 21:03, 16 September 2005 (UTC)


 * Excuse me, Jay, but, far from being unilateral, with most of what I have done I have made clear what I was planning on doing, and I invited comment. When people -- including you -- made criticisms of changes I made, I listened to what they had to say, and worked with it.  I had indicated a call for the split of the "Occupied Territories" page for a couple of days before I did it, and I had indicated a couple days prior to that that I thought that a disambiguated "Occupied Territories" page referring specifically to the Israeli Occupied Territories was needed.  You had no comment, but to continue your insistence that any link to anything regarding the territories controlled by Israel was inaccurate while simultaneously contending elsewhere that a link that would be accurate would "just another one into which the Israeli-Palestinian conflict spills."  Also, when I did my disambiguation, I didn't destroy or fold into history anything, as you have just done.  You may also note that, unlike you, when I make a change and someone reverts it, I generally try to resolve whatever differences we may have before I restore it.  You can check your history on that.

Alberuni range blocks
Jayjg:

A contributor brought up in IRC this eveing that several ranges of IPs that had been blocked in order to prevent Alberuni's actions were blocking an entire ISP's dialup service. Ilyanep (who is more tech-savvy than I) did the research to determine that they are indeed registered to a "level 3 POP" used by several ISP's, including Earthlink. I've been nominated as the one to bring the issue up, and I don't feel it appropriate to unblock or bring up on AN/I without discussing it with you first. Is there a compromise measure we can try other than these range blocks, as it seems to be inconveniencing apparently innocent users? I look forward to hearing back as quickly as possible. Thanks for all your great work (and a belated congrats on your ArbCom promotion.) -- Essjay ·  Talk 23:34, 18 September 2005 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately, I'm not tech savvy enough to have any suggestions other than blocking individual reincarnations as they occur, which I'm sure is quite stressful for those involved. Perhaps the devs could suggest something? -- Essjay ·  Talk 02:40, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, whatever.
Jayjg wrote: "Here's the story of what happened to your new buddy Amin123; he made such a nuisance of himself on a particular article, reverting time and again to his own version and refusing any discussion or compromise, that eventually 1/2 dozen other editors got sick and tired of him and simply reverted him regardless of what he edited."

Those 1/2 dozen editors -- did they get reprimanded for involving themselves in revert wars for purely retaliatory reasons, as you advised Amin against doing? When you find yourself, Jay, continually trying to influence people through veiled threats -- many of them hollow -- that might be a good time seriously to think about whether or not you're doing the right thing with your life. Just a thought.

Marsden 03:15, 19 September 2005 (UTC)


 * Jayjg wrote: "I take it from your needlessly personal comments that you are uninterested in reconciliation, or in working collegially? You prefer the revert war approach?"

Not at all. However, I have seen your handiwork enough to know that your idea of compromise is when everyone agrees with you, and your idea of discussion is repeating your original position again and again until everyone else wearies of the game -- this differs from a revert war how?

Consider your comment to me in one of your recent reverts: "Tell you what; how about if you stop trying to link to 'this POV fork' until the discussion is concluded, and then I'll stop pointing it to 'the correct article'. Seems like a reasonable compromise." This after I have repeatedly protested your characterization of my article as a "POV fork." And obviously, in order to accept your "reasonable compromise," I would have implicitly to accept what you describe as "the correct article," which you know I do not.

I am sorry, Jay, if you are somehow condemned to exist among people so wretched that you would have gotten the idea that the sorts of underhanded manipulations that you attempt here could be effective. If it gives you any hope, let me note that I don't think things have to be that way.

Good luck wherever your life takes you.

Remember Robert Blair?
Hi Jay,

I believe I've identified an anonymous user. Could you take a look and see what you think?

History of ridged band: history

Current anon, clearly the same individual: 207.69.139.134 contrib 207.69.137.12 contrib 207.69.138.143 contrib 4.230.234.81 contrib 207.69.138.144 contrib 207.69.137.40 contrib 207.69.137.21 contrib

On his user page (section 'Complaints'), Blair effectively admits that he is the 207.69.* anon. The same editing pattern is also seen. Blair had a habit of editing in a text file, then when he was happy with this pasting the entire file into the edit box, thus overwriting others' changes (see his old talk page). We're seeing this again, with reverts not even being noted (because, of course, with that editing style you wouldn't be aware of reverts).

Blair was banned on the 14th of March, but I think that he has come back to haunt us. What's your view, and if you agree, what's the appropriate course of action? Jakew 10:10, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

Thanks - strangely, I didn't notice your first message. Jakew 20:58, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Thank you for getting back to me. My problem is that I have blocked a page because of an edit war.  I set forth several guidelines which I suggested might help toward getting the page unprotected; but it appears to me that the user who started the trouble (ken) prefers to have the page protected (just an impression).  I have been extraordinarily aggressive in this case; and I would like to have a review of my comments and actions, to gauge whether I've taken appropriate actions, and for advise on how to proceed from here. — Mark (Mkmcconn) ** 21:30, 20 September 2005 (UTC)


 * Do you have an impression of whether what I've done is out of line, or not? I'm uncomfortable; but will continue if it seems appropriate. — Mark (Mkmcconn) ** 23:33, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

I don't feel ignored; I noticed the difficulty you mentioned. It appears as though my intervention might have been helpful. At least, things are quiet now, and I haven't been informed by the participants, if they any of them resent what I did. Thanks for getting back to me. — Mark (Mkmcconn) ** 00:46, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

Violation notice
Jay, you've violated the remedies imposed upon you at Requests_for_arbitration/HistoryBuffEr_and_Jayjg. In particular, you have violated the prohibition that you may not "remove any adequately referenced information from any article which relates to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict" during the "period of editing restrictions" (apparently 16 January 2005 to 16 January 2006; one year from the date the arbitration was closed). You violated this prohibition in at least two manners, with both violations repeated several times. The violations include changing the article Occupied Territories (Israeli) into a redirect and removing a link to this article at Occupied Territories. The enforcement of this prohibition includes that any user may remove any edit by you that is in violation of the remedy, and that you may be blocked by an administrator for up to one day for intial violations and up to a week for repeat violations. Given the aggravated nature of your violation, I will be seeking to have an administrator block you immediately. Marsden 14:52, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

Jay, I'm sending this message to a few administrators in order to get the enforcement of the arbitration remedies enacted:

I'd like to have an administrator impose a 24-hour block on Jayjg for violating the prohibition imposed by Requests_for_arbitration/HistoryBuffEr_and_Jayjg that he not remove "adequately referenced information from any article which relates to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict" for the period 16 January 2005 to 16 January 2006. Jayjg violated this prohibition repeatedly by changing Occupied Territories (Israeli) to a redirect and by removing link to this article at Occupied Territories.

It would really be easiest if you just imposed the block on yourself.

Jay, if you want to block someone, block this NUT:

Edit war. I am having an edit war with an anonymous User:203.134.48.170 on the 1986 NBA Draft article. I see some of his points, and have even added some of them to the article. But his methods I can't get passed. He keeps using VULGAR comments about me in the Edit summary. ("Don't post crap; No shit, Sherlock; stop being a fucking idiot; Stop being a fucking idiot; WikiDon seemed to have an eight-grade education, at best;" etc., etc..) I find this an offensive way to communicate with me. He didn't try to communicate with me in a civilized manner until he had gone to far, and was being blocked. Also check User talk:203.134.48.170 for his warnings, and Talk:1986 NBA Draft for my reply to his charges. WikiDon 08:55, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

I know you don't mind those words, but I do.

Also, I have contacted Earthlink about them and Wikimedia working togeather to try and indentify the exact user that is causing the problem: User:Robert Blair. I don't know if anything will come of it, but we can try. WikiDon 09:03, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

Jewish categories
Hi I noted your input in the Jewish lists so hopefully this will interest you. I started making a few new categories: Category:Jews in music, Category:Jews in science, and Category:Jews in the visual arts, however User:Lulu_of_the_Lotus-Eaters has nominated all these for renaming due to his aversion to the phrase "Jews in". The reason I created the Jews in music category was because I knew Category:Jewish musicians and Category:Jewish music existed but mainly covered yiddish/religious music. I have persuaded Lulu to change the name of the current category to Jewish classical musicians (as this basically covers the people I had added to it) but I still feel a category such as Category:Jews in western music needs to be the parent category of all classical, pop, jazz, rock, musical sub categories to avoid confusion with yiddish music, Klezmer etc. I would appreciate your views on this here Talk:List_of_Jews Arnie587 23:31, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

POV forks -and common sense
And what is a POV fork? And rest assured: you will see me on the appropriate talk-page. And, frankly, I do not need to post on the talk-page in order to use commen sense. I was actually following the "discuss merger" link..and the way you had redirected the article meant that it looked as if there was a long discussion about merging 2 exactly similar articles -really!! I do not know what agreement you have made with other users, or if they have broken them; but it is NOT the correct response to make life more difficult for a 3rd party! (oh dear, that sounded more serious than it is meant) Regards, Huldra 01:12, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

..................Jayjg on Huldras talkpage: (copy &paste)...................... I showed Marsden the Occupation of the Palestinian territories, he decided he didn't like it, so he created a new article that suited him better. Wikipedia doesn't permit two articles on the same topic from different POVs; if he wanted to improve the original article, he should have done so, rather than creating a new version. And it's rather inconsistent of you to insist that others need to use Talk: pages, but that you have no need to because you use "common sense" instead. And by the way, regarding this comment, [1], it would help if you actually knew the sequence of events before drawing conclusions. Marsden stated he was leaving Wikipedia, then "re-considered" and stated that he was sticking around so he could edit war with those he disagreed with:[2] He then immediately went to 5 articles he had never been to before, 3 to revert me, and two to argue on Talk: pages where I was in disputes with others. This was long before the events that you comment on, so maybe you should investigate a little further in the future before you laugh quite so hard in the future. Jayjg (talk) 01:51, 28 September 2005 (UTC) ............................................................ Jayjp: First: I strongly object to the way you twist and misrepresent other peoples opinion. (I have copied & pasted your reply above here for ref.) Eg. I: I wrote: "It is completely silly to redirect an article! Grow up! -see you in the discussion-room". That, and my statement above (on this page) are the only things I have written about talk-pages. You twist/misrepresent that to: "...it's rather inconsistent of you to insist that others need to use Talk: pages, but that you have no need to ..." Just when have I insisted that others etc., etc.?? You better show me, or retract your allegation. Eg. II: Marsdens statement: "I've decided that I'll occasionally participate in Wikipedia, but only for the purpose of countering the Hasbara Mafia. At least for as long as I consider their POV-pushing to be a major problem here" ..becomes  according to you: "[Marsden]...has pretty much stated that his only purpose for staying on Wikipedia these days is to revert me, which is inappropriate behaviour for an editor." User_talk:John_McW. "Pretty much", eh? Are you officially (or unoficially) known as the "Hasbara Mafia"? (If there are other statements by Marsden you refer to, then please tell me.) Second: I will definitely continue laughing whenever I see somebody doing exactly the same thing as they accuse others of! I would not have found this funny if it had not been for your pompous statement about other peoples "inappropriate behaviour" on your newborn friend John McW´s talkpage. When you then do exactly the same....LOL! ROTFL!! And this does not  mean that I approve of/defend everything that other people (read: Marsden) write/do. I don´t. That Marsden has played the same silly little wars as you (and SlimVirgin) do, does not excuse you. You are moving into a glasshouse while throwing stones! Actually, you said it best youself: "[it]... is inappropriate behaviour for an editor". (Yes, it is a pompous statement. It is also correct. IMO) (Well, of course you have not stated that your only purpose for staying on Wikipedia is to revert others...but that is (part of) what you are doing, nontheless.) Thirdly: Actually I was/am working on text to the Talk:Occupied Territories (Israeli) pages.(...but get interupted by your posts!...and that the articles in question have to be hunted down doesn´t help.) Well, I have made my point here: I will not continue answering here; any future contributions will be on the Talk:Occupied Territories (Israeli). (But not tonigh: you guys must be living in the US/Canada or something...here in Europe it is soon early morning. Goodnight!) Regards, Huldra 03:48, 28 September 2005 (UTC) PS: thanks for educating me about POV forks. I looked for it on Wikipedia, but found no ref....
 * PPS: You know: what people do not say can sometimes be as interesting as what they do say: I see that you are not interested in discussing the misreprestation of my views -how interesting. Or editing wars in general. Also quite interesting. That we obviously don´t have the same sense of humour; well, I guess we both just have to live with that :-D Huldra 04:26, 28 September 2005 (UTC)PPPS: logging out of Wikipedia for 2 days: I have another life which desperately demand my attention.
