Canadian or US English.
I see you edit a lot. Re this article, my question is: if American or Canadian spelling is used for a US based encyclopedia about a Canadian phenomenon. Cheers, Bellagio99 19:39, 3 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the info. I will use Canuck English from now to describe Canadians. But do I switch half-way thru to describe Jane Jacobs and Anatol Rapoport who emigrated from US to Canada half-way thru adult life? ;-)

it was obs. that he was! Talking of shooting up! That does not look like a question! Esp. on a help page! With all do respect i dont agree!--Tatshro Satou 17:55, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

OK! Im the olny person who can tell a dumb jackoff from a wikieditor! So im sorry for ever doing it!--Tatshro Satou 15:59, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Racism by country
Well, the next step would be informal mediation, I believe. I took a look at the talk page, and it appears that the only part that's being disputed is the second paragraph you're proposing. Perhaps we could unprotect the page, but only add the first paragraph for now (that is, if all parties agree). Then you could try to come to a compromise about the part about the Kurds, Azeris, etc. I can even mediate if you want. How does that sound? Khoikhoi 04:54, 11 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Wily: You may be interested in this:--الأهواز &#124; Hamid &#124; Ahwaz 17:28, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I fully understand your predicament as I have faced the same situation on many occasions on similar articles. There are some who appear determined to quash any article or information that is critical of Iran. Wikipedia is not a democracy, it is about establishing all notable viewpoints in a fair and balanced manner. It is unacceptable that what is deemed "correct" or "truth" is determined by how many like-minded editors can vote in one way or another. I would strongly recommend formal mediation as I fear you may become more frustrated. I am talking from personal experience. Any mediation should be done by a neutral observer. :o) --الأهواز &#124; Hamid &#124; Ahwaz 17:58, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I just thought you should be aware of the situation so you don't feel alienated by it. Feel free to put a message on my talk page to remind me of the next step you are taking in the resolution process.--الأهواز &#124; Hamid &#124; Ahwaz 18:19, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

(to Wily) As I said, I'm willing to unprotect the article as long as you don't restore information that is disputed by other editiors. I suggested that I could mediate, but perhaps it's better if you requested formal mediation. If that fails, then I guess I can help. Cheers, Khoikhoi 00:29, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Are mass crimes sentiments?
Would you please convince me? Xx236 15:44, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

formal, informal or even rogue mediation,
all of them is OK to me. But formal is more OK!--Pejman47 20:04, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

RE: Proposed move of Canadian French
Hi there -- care to weigh in? Merci! Corticopia 15:07, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Hi again -- thanks for weighing in. I encourage you to consult the talk page again (I and others have commented extensively since) -- I implore you to reconsider your support for this move.  Thanks.  Corticopia 01:35, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Conflict
It's the word "conflict" that's too vague and possibly misleading, it suggest some symmetry (who attacked who actually?). I'm sure that wouldn't be difficult to find a source that support the current phrasing, but I think that is proper to have at least one.--BMF81 18:14, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Can you give me the book details? jstor has a silly behavior with deeplinks.--BMF81 18:29, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Thank u so much :) Btw if the book review is from a peer reviewed journal it's usually considered a better source then... the book itself. --BMF81 23:20, 18 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Hey Wily, I removed the fact tag from the statement. We don't need to reference that there was conflict between Indians and Europeans - it's extraordinarily obvious. If his problem is that the word "conflict" doesn't blame the colonists enough, then it's not really a problem at all, it's neutrality.--Cúchullain t/ c 00:26, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Sites requiring subscription
Regarding Armenian Genocide: External links states: "Sites that require registration or a paid subscription should be avoided because they are of limited use to most readers. Many online newspapers require registration to access some or all of their content, while some require a subscription. Online magazines frequently require subscriptions to access their sites or for premium content. If old newspaper and magazines articles are archived, there is usually a fee for accessing them. A site that requires registration or a subscription should not be linked unless the web site itself is the topic of the article." A ecis Brievenbus 19:07, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

End to the bad faith issue
Please see here where Kitty states that he forced the AfD]] therefore it was not a bad faith nomination. Can you please now strike through that statement.Vintagekits 13:40, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
