User talk:Lixy

Hello , and welcome to Wikipedia! The first thing you should know is that we encourage you to  be bold. Feel free to edit and improve articles, by clicking any 'edit' link.

If you'd like to test what Wikipedia can do, check out the sandbox - just type and save the page and your text will appear. That's the beauty of a Wiki.

For more information check out our tutorial - it's designed with newcomers in mind, as is the help section. If you'd like to get involved with current projects, have a look at the Community Portal. There are always tasks for users to do, ranging from copyediting to expanding stubs.

I hope you'll enjoy your time here, but be warned, it can become addictive! Feel free to message me, I'm more than happy to help. As an added tip, sign any message you post so users know that you've said it. To do so is delightfully simple, just use the wikicode タチコマ robot (talk) 12:53, 16 November 2016 (UTC).

Please Use Edit Summaries
When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this: The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. Patchouli 18:24, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

Re: your message
Firstly, as far as I know, Wikipedia doesn't have a policy on subscription based links (except to note that the link requires subscription).

Secondly, I favour your edit of the article, and as such am reverting it. Patchouli's edit's are not neutral, yours are.

Merry Christmas.

It doesn't matter what he says.

The presidency is largely a figurehead position. First, the president does not have leeway in cabinet appointmentsthe Supreme Leader has some control over appointments to the more sensitive ministries. Second, the president does not make military and judicial appointments.

You can revert my edit or create a section in Ahmadinejad's Israel article explaining this. However, the substance of the statement is singular and in all translation eliminations of the Israeli government was called for.

The there abundant stuff at Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Israel that I had overlooked.--Patchouli 23:49, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

It boils down to caviling over verbage that essentially mean on thing. I am boycotting the articles inasmuch as I have become exhausted.--Patchouli 23:52, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

Firstly, the word is censor. Censure means to admonish or rebuke. Secondly, I would direct you to Talk page guidelines, you may wish to review the policy. -- Avi 22:01, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Firstly, I would direct you to the edit history; I did not revert the trolling. I would advise checking facts before making accusations [[image:smile.png]]. Secondly, wiki policy allows censorship in certain cases, in general, personal attacks are one of them. Thank you. -- Avi 02:52, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Once again, it would be nice if you could back up your statements with facts. I am beginning to have difficulty assuming good faith behind your efforts, especially as they seem to be personal attacks against me, and distortions of what is posted. You do know that everything is there for all to see, and your statements, if I understand them correctly, have no basis in fact. As such, I am unfortunately forced to remind you that we have a policya aginst personal attacks. Please review it here WP:NPA. Thank you. -- Avi 18:17, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Then I misunderstood, as it appeared after my post. My apologies. -- Avi 18:29, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Unless they changed the policy, violations of WP:BLP and WP:NPA may be removed. -- Avi 18:37, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Might be interested
I noticed that you took part in State terrorism by United States of America discussion for deletion. After the article has survived many deletions, you may be interested that there is a user right now who is deleting large portions of the article. 69.150.209.15 17:43, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Mediation for MA article
A request for mediation has been filed with the Mediation Committee that lists you as a party. The Mediation Committee requires that all parties listed in a mediation must be notified of the mediation. Please review the request at Requests for mediation/Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and indicate whether you agree or refuse to mediate. If you are unfamiliar with mediation, please refer to Mediation. There are only seven days for everyone to agree, so please check as soon as possible.--Pejman47 19:33, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

Striking your vote
Hello Lixy,

Thank you for your interest in the Wikimedia Board Election. The Election Committee regretfully informs you that your previous vote was received in error and will be struck according to the election rules, described below.

The Election Committee regretfully announces today that we will have to remove approximately 220 votes submitted. These votes were cast by people not entitled to vote. The election rules state that users must have at least 400 edits by June 1 to be eligible to vote.

The voter lists we sent to Software in the Public Interest (our third party election partner) initially were wrong, and one of your account was eventually included to our initial list. There was a bug in the edit counting program and the sent list contained every account with 201 or more edits, instead of 400 or more edits. So large numbers of people were qualified according to the software who shouldn't be. The bug has been fixed and an amended list was sent to SPI already.

Our first (and wrong) list contains 80,458 accounts as qualified. The proper number of qualified voters in the SPI list is now 52,750. As of the morning of July 4 (UTC), there are 2,773 unique voters and 220 people, including you, have voted who are not qualified based upon this identified error.

In accordance with voting regulations the Election Committee will strike those approximately 220 votes due to lack of voting eligibility. The list of struck votes is available at https://wikimedia.spi-inc.org/index.php/List_of_struck_votes.

We are aware of the possibility that some of the people affected may have other accounts with more than 400 edits, and hence may still be eligible to vote. We encourage you to consider voting again from another account, if you have one. If you have no other account eligible to vote, we hope you reach the criteria in the next Election, and expect to see your participation to the future Elections.

Your comments, questions or messages to the Committee would be appreciated, you can make them at m:Talk:Board elections/2007/en. Other language versions are available at Translation requests/Eleccom mail, 07-05.

Again, we would like to deeply apologize for any inconvenience.

Sincerely, Kizu Naoko Philippe

Islamophobia
Make sure you see this and see if you can join in too although I'm not sure if you can, but ask around. --Matt57 (talk•contribs) 11:54, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
 * If you wish to be a party to the case, then I suppose you're welcome to. MessedRocker (talk) 18:37, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Lixy, please read the page more carefully. You have to sign in a couple of more places on that page. --Matt57 (talk•contribs) 23:10, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Islamophobia
Hello! As it would appear, you have not been participating on the Islamophobia RFM. Seeing as you have been listed as an involved party, I think it would be worthwhile if you were to take a look at the discussion and add your own insight. This would be more helpful in reaching an agreement over how to handle the article. Thank you! MessedRocker (talk) 21:55, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Religion of Peace
There have been 3 AfDs already. The first was successful, but the article has been recreated. I have filed the 2nd AfD. You can read about those here:--Raphael1 13:08, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

roots
I won't revert your recent edit, but Semitic triliteral roots really are "abstract", since they consist of three consonants without any accompanying vowels (e.g. K-T-B etc.). -- AnonMoos (talk) 11:49, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

abcnews
Thank you for those abcnews "What Would You Do?" links. I wonder where we can put those in the article. --Raphael1 21:29, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!
