My English

†

Thank you for complimenting my English :) I basically studied English as a foreign language for about 10 or 11 years in school. Also, when I was a child, cartoons channels like Cartoon Network were not dubbed in Romanian (now they are), and movies are still subtitled instead of dubbed over, so I got to hear a lot of English while watching TV. Also, I think the fact that I come from a bilingual Hungarian/Romanian family made me more receptive to other languages. - ArnoldPlaton (talk) 19:22, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I really do not think about how pleasant a language is. They are how they are. I can appreciate how a language sounds when I do not understand it, but if I understand the words, I can't judge weather it's pleasant sounding or not. Each language has its ups and downs. I can tell you one thing I find quite unpleasant: English spoken with a thick Romanian accent Example. I probably have that accent when I'm too lazy to pronounce correctly, but it annoys the hell out of me when I hear it in others. I don't know why, as other accents don't bother me. Except maybe English with a Hungarian accent :) - ArnoldPlaton (talk) 09:16, 16 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. In the article Ban on Sharia law you wrote "...support the creation of federal legislation that would ban the application or implementation of of Islamic law (Sharia) in courts in any jurisdiction in the United States or elsewhere."

Reviewer permission

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged revisions, underwent a two-month trial which ended on 15 August 2010. Its continued use is still being discussed by the community, you are free to participate in such discussions. Many articles still have pending changes protection applied, however, and the ability to review pending changes continues to be of use.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under level 1 pending changes and edits made by non-reviewers to level 2 pending changes protected articles (usually high traffic articles). Pending changes was applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

For the guideline on reviewing, see Wikipedia:Reviewing. Being granted reviewer rights doesn't grant you status nor change how you can edit articles even with pending changes. The general help page on pending changes can be found here, and the general policy for the trial can be found here.

Infobox modelPlease stop adding blank or almost blank copies of {{Infobox model}} to articles. Infoboxes should only be added to articles where they are relevant and blank infoboxes should never be added. Articles should generally only have one infobox. --AussieLegend (talk) 08:43, 26 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]I echo this comment. For example, Megan Fox is more of an actress these days than she is a model. Therefore, Infobox person suits her better. When you added this, you should have put all the information that was in Infobox person to this infobox as well. If you had, I would not have been as inclined to revert partially on the basis that Infobox person is more informative. Flyer22 (talk) 23:29, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]EditWell, sure. There's a couple of ways of to explain it. One is, this would constitute fairly contentious material, I think. I didn't see any discussion beforehand, and we would need to have to considerable discussion and perhaps an RfC showing a clear community consensus before we want to go down this path.

GcSwRhIc (talk) 15:08, 9 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]Edit to African-American articleHi, PassaMethod. I can't figure out the sequence of event or edits that led to your undo, but I had made two changes to wording, yielding this paragraph: << In this same period, a smaller number of people favored Afro-American, a common shortening (as is 'Anglo-American'). However, after the decline in popularity of the 'Afro' hairstyle in the late 1970s, many blacks began to be offended by the term 'Afro-American' because of its association with the hairstyle and the time period. ^{[citation needed]}. >> I think "decline" is better than "demise" -- the Afro isn't dead -- and I think my change to the end of the sentence is appropriate as well. Let me know if you agree, and if so one of us can put my two changes back. Thanx/Jo3samplBahrain protestsExcuse me? Why did you revert my edit and accused me of vandalism? I was highly offended by your accusation. My edit was properly sourced and you accused me without reason. Please explain. EkoGraf (talk) 17:23, 18 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]I did not mean to revert your 1st edit. Your second edit for 36 deaths was false, as the ref did not support the claims. Your ref was also unpunctual. The ref dates to March when we have newer sources. Pass a Method talk 17:31, 18 April 2011 (UTC)[reply] It was not false, I added three sources for those 36 deaths, the first confirming 31 protestors died, the second four policemen died, the third a Saudi soldier died, that is 36. But I understand why it could have been confusing. So now I have added them in a way it could be confirmed that 36 people died. So please read my last edit. If you have a problem with it please discuss before reverting. Thank you. EkoGraf (talk) 17:36, 18 April 2011 (UTC)[reply] You should have expressed it simpler. You said there were 36 deaths, but then i see an outdated March source that says 20(something) deaths. What am i suposed to assume? I did not mean to cause offense. Btw, that should be 35 deaths as that Saudi soldier is among the security officers i think. Pass a Method talk 17:43, 18 April 2011 (UTC)[reply] The Saudi soldier was shot and killed. I added a source that specificly says the four policemen were killed when they were run over by protestors with their cars. The Peninsula Shield Force is specificly a military force, not a police force. The sources don't say for one moment that the Saudi is included among the policemen. And like I said, new source I added specificly says the way those four died which is highly different than how the Saudi died. At this point you would have to add a source which explicitly states that the Saudi was counted among the policemen. The Bahrainis were only stating their own casualties, which were separate of those of the Shield Force. EkoGraf (talk) 18:30, 18 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]Yes, but they were officially tasked with securing and protecting key infrastructure meaning they were carrying out police duties. Thats where you became confused with terminology. I would still appreciate it if you self-revert, unless you can find distinctive refs distinguishing police deaths from soldier deaths Pass a Method talk 18:39, 18 April 2011 (UTC)[reply] I admit though, i could be wrong Pass a Method talk 18:46, 18 April 2011 (UTC)[reply] I understand very perfectly. The sources are already quite clear. The refs already distinguish police deaths (all four runned down by cars) from soldier deaths (shot and killed). One source states that four policemen were killed, a source which was talking about Bahrain casualties exclusivly. It doesn't mention even in one moment that the Saudi was counted among them. It doesn't make mention of the Saudi at all. In addition, one more source is provided that torpedoes your theory totaly, and that is that the four policemen reported killed were confirmed to have died after protestors ran them over with their cars. The Saudi was shot and killed. I think that makes it preaty clear that the four were killed by cars while the Saudi was killed by a gun. You cann't be more clearer than that. If you have a source where it is explicitly stated that the Saudi was counted among the four, which would be strange since he died from a bullet and the four died from cars hitting them, than please add that source. In the meantime everything is properly sourced at the moment and I would urge you not to remove properly sourced information. Thank you. Cheers! EkoGraf (talk) 18:52, 18 April 2011 (UTC)[reply] Could you please specify which source says that "all four were run down by cars" ? Thanks Pass a Method talk 19:04, 18 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]Sorry for the delay in the reply, watching Game of Thrones on HBO. Here is the source [1]. Will quote it: According to authorities, four police officers were killed after being struck by cars during protests led by the tiny Sunni-ruled kingdom's Shiite majority. Hope it clears it up now. EkoGraf (talk) 19:38, 18 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]The first paragraph in that ref indicates the four police officers died in seperate events (with two police officers mentioned for 1 court case). So, doesn't this crush your theory? Pass a Method talk 20:10, 18 April 2011 (UTC)[reply] That Saudi soldier was probably hit by a car and then shot. I've seen youtube footage, but i can't be bothered to find sources though. Pass a Method talk 20:11, 18 April 2011 (UTC)[reply] OK, right now you are not following Wikipedia guidelines on verifibility anymore but simply twisting everything so it would seem you are right. Nothing crushing my theory, you saying that the soldier was probably hit by a car and then shot is your personal opinion and could constitute original research since you don't have any sources to back up that claim. I am asking you nicely, please refrain from making up unsourced claims. The sources are clear on the situation. Four Bahrain police officers were ran over by protestors with their cars and the soldier was shot and killed, the sources don't say anything about the soldier being included among the four or even that the soldier was first hit by a car and than shot. I have provided enough sources for my edit, it is now up to you to provide sources for your claims because, like I said, Wikipedia is based on verifibility. My edit has been verified, your claim has not. If you have a problem with that please talk to an administrator for a neutral opinion, but I am telling you you cann't make an unsourced edit.

Cybercobra (talk) 08:31, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]Re:April 2011In my talk you questioned my actions as, " Welcome to Wikipedia! I am glad to see you are interested in discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages are for discussion related to improving the article, not general discussion about the topic. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Next time, instead of constantly asking for sources as you did here and here why don't you use the google search engine to find refs yourself? Thank you." Let me add my points here, as also in my talk: in Talk:Alawi I asked "are Alawis syncretic?" not as a general discussion but as a question that, if mentioning Alawis as syncretic in article lead is valid as there was no citation. Now I see a ref is been added. It seems OK now. I would have expected a reply in relevant talk instead of here though. :P You confused my review request as forum discussion. So In here I really disagree that the hadith is authentic and I even not asked for source there. I found that the description source, (i.e. the order of who descried the hadith) is not a very strong one and this hadith may be considered as a weak or non-auhtentic hadith to many Islamic scholars. So, my suggestion is to remove this disputable hadith. Only finding a hadith do not make it authentic, there are method of classifying hadith in regard to authenticity. In case of Alawi my first try to find a good source has failed. It is not others duty to find citations but the editors who introduces some information which requires citations. According to Wikipedia:Five pillars "All articles must strive for verifiable accuracy: unreferenced material may be removed, so please provide references. Editors' personal experiences, interpretations, or opinions do not belong here." Next time instead of constantly adding information without citing sources, I think it is better if you, please try to add sources; and as you search engines you already have the sources. It is better not to advise (or advertise) any specific search engine. --নাফী ম. সাধ nafSadh^{talk | contribs} 08:32, 25 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]CenkStrategy: Find a copyright compatible image by searching for the exact term.

I have done nothing but trying to establish a neutral figure on the number of dead. The number of 10,000 you are currently forsing was claimed (note claimed) by the rebels, and has not been verified independently by any government or non-goevernmental group. The number of 3,800 I am adding is based, like I said in my edit summery that you probably didn't read, on the verified reports of killed in the table of the article Casualties of the 2011 Libyan civil war. If you would read it you would see that me, user Lothar and user Zenithfel have established that despite the rebel claim of 10,000 killed, only a summed up total 3,800 people have been reported killed since the start of the war. The lower toll must be presented so the balance of dead could be presented properly. I am not advocating the removal of the rebel's claimed figure, but I am insisting that a lower toll, which by all acounts is more realistic, be presented so we could remain in line with Wikipedias policy on neutrality (NPOV). I will expect a reply and a proposal so we could try and find some common ground here and a compromise. But, please in the future don't start and threaten people with blocks from the start.

Thanks Pass a Method talk 07:58, 7 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]That article does not contain original research, the fatalities table that has been established and updated by me and two more editors is highly properly sourced. There is nothing made up or unsourced in the table, it's properly sourced. What's the problem? EkoGraf (talk) 08:00, 7 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth. You have till now, not provided a source that specifically gives the 3,800 figure. Pass a Method talk 08:03, 7 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]Ok, than. You want to talk about verifiability. You have not proposed a solution to the grately unbalanced and POV figure that is currently in the article on the Arab uprisings since you are now only letting the rebel figure stand there, which has not been independently confirmed and there is a high probability of it being inflated for propaganda purposes (and the number of deaths that has been reported - 3,800 - just goes further in confirming this). The 10,000 figure is highly unreliable and unverified (and this has been stated in those same articles that report the number - not independently confirmed), and as far as I know, Wikipedia has a rule on reliability and verifibility. The number is neather reliable or verifiable. If you won't include the lower figure than remove the higher figure all together and state in the table something like number of killed unknown, ranging in the thousands and in the totals section put number doesn't include dead from Libyan civil war. Because the article needs to be balanced. I am trying to compromise here.

Pass a Method talk 08:14, 7 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]I have already found several sources giving a death toll of 30 000 : [31], [32], [33], [34]. Pass a Method talk 08:16, 7 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]In fact, on closer inspection, most recent sources give figures between 10 000 and 30 000 Pass a Method talk 08:18, 7 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]I already know about those. 10,000-30,000 is based on the 10,000 claim and 30,000 claim. I give up, going to bed, however whatever you do (leave or don't leave the 10,000 figure) do not, and I repeat, do not put the 30,000 figure. Because that one is even more unreliable than the rebels claim since it was given was given by a US government official only a few days after the rebels 10,000 claim. 20,000 dead in three days? I don't think so. EkoGraf (talk) 08:22, 7 May 2011 (UTC)[reply] Once again, do not put 30,000 because than it will be strongly in violation of the NPOV and Verifiability rule, because how come the rebels (who are in the country) claim one day 10,000 dead, than two-three days later a US politician (who is nowhere near Libya) claims 30,000 (20,000 people died in a couple of days)? EkoGraf (talk) 08:24, 7 May 2011 (UTC)[reply] All of the sources originate from that US politicians claim of 30,000. Multiple references originating from one source don't constitute several sources. Again, one US politicians claim is even more unreliable than the rebels claim. And I am asking you again, 10,000 one day than two days later 30,000? Logic? And that politician himself said maybe which means he isn't sure himself. EkoGraf (talk) 08:27, 7 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]Actually, the official is from Tripoli. Its getting quite obvious you are ignorant of wikipedia policy, hence you keep repeating the same lame arguments. I (once again) urge you to read Wikipedia:No original research policy, because you're arguments are textbook violations of wikipedia policies. Pass a Method talk 08:36, 7 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]If you disagree with certain sources because of "propaganda purposes" (as you put it), you need to go to WP:RSN. Otherwise, your claims are null Pass a Method talk 08:44, 7 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]I should reaffirm that the 10,000 figure does not exactly mean KIA. You should also keep in mind that every day people die in Misrata, Zintan, and Nalut, and most of the deaths like in this week have not been reported by rebel spokesmen. You should also know that the 10k to 30k difference didn't just happen in 2 days worth of fighting, the 30k difference is what nato was keeping track of including by air, and on a specific date they decided to release it. Much like how the Egyptian revolution was originally only 365 deaths at its end, doctors and human rights researchers discovered after investigating more reports from very city in all hospitals, that 854 had actually died. 8.5/3.5 x 3800 = 9,200 would be an egyptian proportion. But we know that Libya is a hell of a lot deadlier than egypt, so its definitely higher than 9000. Zenithfel (talk) 11:54, 7 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]Don't tell me, tell EkoGraf. He's the one saying calling for the 3800 figure Pass a Method talk 13:41, 7 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]I am saying again, the news reports that are stating the 10,000-30,000 are all based on the 10,000 figure stated by rebels and 30,000 figure stated by the US politician. They are all coming from those two sources. And they are not from the last two weeks like you said, they are from two weeks ago when it was first reported. There have been no reports on an updated toll in the last two weeks. And again, the 30,000 figure was stated only two-three days after the 10,000 figure was claimed by the rebels (a jump of 20,000 in two days). The official who claimed it is not in Tripoli (like you said), he is the US ambassador for Libya, but he is no longer in Libya, he was expelled. At this point I would be more for keeping the 10,000 figure than including the 30,000 figure, because the rebels are certainly better informed on the number of dead since they are on the ground there in the country unlike the politician who is not even there. Plus, the rebel's figure is at least a semi-official figure, while the politicians figure is not eather semi-official or official (it was his personal opinion). And, unlike the politician's figure which was not backed up by anyone, the rebel figure was at least backed up by the French (not surprising). Also, the sources don't say anything about the 30,000 figure being a NATO figure and it was not released by them. In any case, like I already said this morning, I was already dropping the case for the 3,800 figure. Leave the 10,000 figure, but the 30,000 figure is by all accounts unrealistic and is not backed up by any other independent sources, unlike the 10,000 which was backed up by the French government. EkoGraf (talk) 16:09, 7 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]the 10,000 figure was also backed by Iranian sources, Arab sources and several other sources. It is however still obvious you have not read wikipedia guidelines and policies however, seeing how you keep making the same null arguments. Whether content is true/logical is not how wikipedia policy works. Its all about VERIFIABILITY. I dont know how many more times i have to repeat this to you. I have already repeated myself 10 times. Pass a Method talk 17:12, 7 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]Like I already said three times now, I don't have objections anymore to the 10,000 figure and dropped the 3,800 argument (10,000 wasn't backed by Iranian, Arab and other sources, they reported on the rebel claim, there is a difference, but whatever). The point is I don't have objections on the 10,000 figure, my objections now are on the 30,000 figure which fails on Verifiability more than the 10,000, because it has not been confirmed by anyone except the politician who stated his own opinion based on what he heard and he didn't confirm it but said may be. Also, please watch your language, calling me ignorant is in breach of Wikipedia's policy on civility, I never said for one moment anything to you that could be offensive. EkoGraf (talk) 19:38, 7 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]No need to repeat 3 times, i acknowedged it. However, it seems you are making up your own rules on what WP:Verifiability means.

Why didn't the Japanese surrender at the same time as Germany? Pass a Method talk 15:12, 12 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]Oh wow! Simple question, but a thorough answer would fill pages. Very short answerThey didn't surrender at the same time because they didn't have to.Short answerRemember that Germany and Japan were but two members of "The Axis" - there were quite a number of other members. None of the Axis members wanted to surrender - they all intended to win the war. Each surrendered when they were no longer willing/able to resist the various onslaughts of the Allies. i.e. Not every member of the Axis surrendered at the same time.Slightly longer answerThe Germans surrendered when they did because they could no longer withstand the Soviets/etc from the one set of fronts to the east, and the British/British Commonwealth/Americans/etc from another set of fronts from the west and south. As this was happening in Europe, the Japanese were still resisting the onslaught of the British/British Commonwealth/Americans/etc the in the Pacific. The Japanese had a neutrality pact with the Soviets, so "their borders" in East Asia were "under control". So much so that when the going got tough for the Japanese in the Pacific theatre, the Japanese steadily relocated their best resources away from East Asia and into the Pacific theatre. With the surrender of Germany, the Soviets were now able to divert their resources away from Europe. And so they did! Vast numbers of troops and vast amounts of resources were relocated to East Asia. At the various conferences of Allied leaders, (i.e. Cairo Nov 43; Tehran Nov/Dec 43; Yalta Feb 45; Potsdam Jul/Aug 45), various "promises" were made between "The Big Three", in particular, that three months after the surrender of Germany, the Soviets would enter the war against Japan. So, to the day, three months after the surrender of Germany, the Soviets broke the Neutrality Pact and invaded Manchuria. If the Japanese weren't already having enough troubles in the Pacific theatre, they now had the Soviets advancing VERY quickly from the previously "safe" north and east. And "to put the icing on the cake", the Allies had started dropping Atomic bombs on the Japanese "home islands". Also, it was obvious to the Japanese that invasions of the "home islands" had been planned and preparations for their execution were occurring. Thus, Japanese surrender eventually followed. (But it was not immediate, and it was not without all sorts of "Palace coups" and "goings-on" within the Japanese "Big Six" and other Japanese powerbrokers ... )I hope that's useful?

It is a migratory species, travelling to northern South America and the Caribbean during the Northern Hemisphere's winter. The cinnamon teal lives in marshes and ponds, and feeds mostly on plants. It has a typical length of 16 in (41 cm), with a wing span of 22 inch (56 cm) and a mass of 14 oz (400 g). The male has bright reddish plumage with a duller brown coloration on the female. The bird feeds predominantly by dabbling, with its main diet being plants and sometimes molluscs and aquatic insects.

Unfortunately, the Divorce (Islamic) article is still a bit confusing. Is there any chance that you know the answers to any of these questions:What does the word talaq actually refer to? Divorce in general (including secular)? Just Islamic divorces? A specific procedure of divorce used by Islamic men but not by women? The lead of the article implies that the word talaq can be used for all divorces, but the talaq section makes it sound like a specific type of divorce. Are the words talaq and khula used by non-Arab muslims? What are the rules for khula? Is khula only possible in Sunni Islam? If so, how does a woman get a divorce in Shia? If an Islamic couple wants to get divorced in a secular state, what do they do? Do they typically do both a legal divorce and a religious divorce? Do they refer to the two with different words?Thanks for your help! Kaldari (talk) 17:11, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]Im not finished with the divorce (islamic) article so dont worry about the confusing state. Heres the answers: Talaq is a verb directed from a man to his wife meaning a divorce. Talaq is an arabic word, so i guess it couyld be used by non-muslim Arabs. Yes Talaq is used by non-arab muslims but not always, sometimes their own language is used. Sunnis and Shias are not completely homogenous groups. They have further sub-sects and thus further varied disagreements. In a secular state, A man simply says Talaq three times, a woman finds an imam in a local mosque to do the procedure. Shias require two witnesses who overhears the couple and then bears witness to the divorce. But you have to understand that controversies always exist among muslim scholars who often disagree, sometimes even from within the same school of thought. This has a lot to do with hadiths and which hadith is viewed as authentic or weak - which is suject to a lot of interpretation. Pass a Method talk 17:49, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply] Thanks for the information! I managed to track down a book on Islamic jurisprudence, but it had very little about divorce and didn't even mention khula. In fact, I've had a very difficult time finding any consistent information about khula. Some people say it is a type of talaq, and other people say it isn't. And I can't find any information on what schools allow khula and which ones don't. Any clarification you can add to this article would be greatly appreciated.

[38] Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) - talk 22:07, 2 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]ReplyIn regards to the Syrian uprising I AM using specificly referenced death tolls, where we have definetly precise numbers determined by independent health organisations with a breakdown between military and civilian. However, the case with Libya is totaly different. There, since the start, the numbers floated about the death toll have specificly come from eather the rebels or the US (both anti-gaddafi so not neutral). With the US claiming 30,000 dead three months ago, than the rebels claiming 50,000 dead a month ago, than the rebels again claiming 30,000 dead a few weeks ago and now a few days ago the rebels claimed 25,000. And all of that are summed up numbers of both civilians and combatants. Except at the start of the war there have been no independently verified numbers on Libya. To any person watching this you can figure out its simple propaganda. So we need to get to a specific independent number of killed among rebels, loyalists and civilians separately, because the whole war (including the NATO bombing) was based on the accusations of mass murder of civilian protesters. But now, as it seems, since we are getting a more clearer picture, more combatants have been killed than civilians. At one point even a rebel spokesman claimed 15,000 loyalists were killed, which would be more than half of the currently stated number. What motivates me is the truth. EkoGraf (talk) 00:17, 5 October 2011 (UTC)[reply] Like I said, specific, not rounded, numbers have been published by newspapers for Syria. The 2,981 was published through media outlets, don't know whats so retarded about that. As far as the Yemeni 1,638 number goes, we came to it based on various numbers published from different phases of the uprising (protests before street fighting, street fighting, protests after the street fighting). Users Lothar and Zenithfel have been helping me in regard to the casualties in Libya. I realy don't understand why you find exact, not rounded, numbers published my the media or the ones that we have been able to acertain so strange.

EDLI noticed you had reverted my edits to the English Defence League page. 1. ... is a far-right street protest movement which opposes what "some believe" to be a spread of Islamism, Sharia law and Islamic extremism in England. I had edited it to "opposes the spread of Islamism, Sharia law..." which is basically their mission statement. What does "some believe" even signify? Isn't that a tad POV? Half the references provided are dead, by the way. 2. "EDL members have clashed with counter-demonstrators, including supporters of Unite Against Fascism (UAF)" I had added "and the extremist group Muslims Against Crusades". Why does the UAF deserve a special mention and not the MAC? Ecthelion 8 (talk) 17:43, 6 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]The UAF deserves special mention because they are not discussed in the lede, being an "antifascist" group. MAC is already covered with the first sentence on "sharia law, islamic extremism etc." MAC is not the only unique islamic group targeted by EDL. EDL also targets other groups such as Hizb Tahrir, MDL, pro-palestine muslims etc. Therefore adding MAC constitutes WP:UNDUE weight. Pass a Method talk 18:04, 6 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]I get your drift, but the point of the sentence was clashes. As a NPOV, I thought it would be suitable to include that they have clashed with Islamic extremist groups (violent clashes are NOT covered in the protesting against "sharia law.." etc) and not just the UAF. I can't think of a reason NOT to include ".... supporters of Unite Against Fascism (UAF) and extremist groups such as the Muslims Against Crusades". Considering that they HAVE clashed with those groups. Protesting against sharia/islamism etc does not imply they clash with them (violently so as well) at their demonstrations. Just seems fair. And about 1? Also, can this be moved to the Talk page? Ecthelion 8 (talk) 18:54, 6 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]The lede has been stable for a while now, so i'd prefer to keep it as it is.

Every SDL demonstration has had EDL flags plus EDL members. SDL mostly consists of an EDL base.

Thanks Fishiehelper2 (talk) 16:12, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply] Thanks for your message and I apologise if I have caused you any offence - that was never my intention. However, I was not aware that Slaversten had expressed an opinion on whether the SDL should have a separate article or not and I didn'y "disregard" the opinions of the established editor Sean Hoyland...I disagreed with him and wanted to discuss the point further. I never regard improving articles as a "waste a lot of time and effort which could be spent in better ways". Far from barely replying to any issues you raise, it was I who first contacted you by personal message to discuss why you were proposing to delete an article I had just started, and then it was I who initiated discussion on the talk page. I don't claim to know anything more about the Scottish Defence League than anyone else and you are correct that I have not edited on this subject before, though you will notice that I edit widely on political issues in general as I actually teach politics for a living. I am now approaching 10,000 edits over a four year period and, to my knowledge, have never before been reported to a noticeboard. I take from your very strong reaction that you are indeed angry so, once again, I apologise. I trust that we can continue this dialogue. Cheers Fishiehelper2 (talk) 20:04, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply] I'm up for a compromise if it truly serves both sides of any dispute. In this case, I see that you feel strongly that there should only be one article as the SDL is an offshoot of the EDL. From my perspective, I would want any reader that is searching for Scottish Defence League to go straight to the key information being sought. Could I suggest that a better solution might be to have the detail from what I have added to the Scottish Defence League article placed in a separate subsection within the English Defence League article? That way, we could redirect Scottish Defence League straight to the subsection. The subsection could also make clear that the SDL is an offshoot of the EDL and that the suggestion is that EDL members often outnumber SDL members at any SDL event in Scotland?

A tag has been placed on Pass a Method, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect to an article talk page, file description page, file talk page, MediaWiki page, MediaWiki talk page, category talk page, portal talk page, template talk page, help talk, user page, user talk or special page from the main/article space.

If you can fix the redirect to point to a mainspace page, please do so and remove the speedy deletion tag. However, please do not remove the speedy deletion tag unless you are fixing the redirect. If you think the redirect should be retained as is for some reason, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this: which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted.

Your recent editing history shows that you are in danger of breaking the three-revert rule, or that you may have already broken it. An editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Breaking the three-revert rule often leads to a block.

If you wish to avoid being blocked, instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to discuss the changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. You may still be blocked for edit warring even if you do not exceed the technical limit of the three-revert rule if your behavior indicates that you intend to continue to revert repeatedly. Thanks.

Could you not add sources such as this to sex/medical articles, as you did to the Clitoris article? These type of sources are not acceptable for topics like this, per WP:MEDRS. I know that what your addition states is a matter of language, what the clitoris is sometimes called, but that name is also used in sexology. Therefore, I will remove your source and provide a scholarly one for that text instead. I will also remove "Because the clitoris is homologous to the penis" because that is already made clear at three places in the article. And that exact wording is currently in the Sexual stimulation section. I also ask, like I have before, that you start using reference templates or better formatting of your references. As I am working on the Clitoris article, and will be looking to get it to GA status, I do not want to have to clean up after another person's references.

I've told you how WP:Fresh start is supposed to work, and why that does not apply to you.

If you edit in any of the areas that resulted in us having conflict before (namely the sexual topic areas), then I will know who you are. Only one person edits these topics the way that you do, and that's you. If you do not edit in the areas that resulted in us having conflict before, like you are supposed to do in accordance with WP:Fresh start, then there won't be a matter of spotting you, now will there? That's the point -- you are not supposed to edit in those areas anymore once starting fresh. Like I told you before, it goes in one ear and out the other with you, no settling in for comprehension, which is why you are such a problematic editor. So make no mistake about it that I will be reporting you the moment I see that you have resumed editing in the same sexual topics area, if you do indeed take up a new account. I am also going to go ahead and alert others that you may be changing to a different account and may use that account in a way that does not reflect WP:Fresh start.

IP is a block-evader, you'd need a confirmed sockpuppet diagnosis by someone uninvolved before striking their comments, and even then you really should leave it to someone else to do - I'm sure you can see it's not proper for you to do it just on your own say. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 20:16, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply] As shown in this part of the discussion that Pass a Method removed from his talk page, I always edit under a proxy and I don't have a registered account yet. I just don't want to get that sucked into Wikipedia and I like the privacy that proxies provide. So running a CheckUser won't identify me as someone else. I may register one day, once I truly see a need to do so. But, for now, I'm content with the way I've been keeping on. 50.17.15.172 (talk) 21:10, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]Please cease...messing with the IP's statement. It is unwise to get into an edit war while you are under some scrutiny. If your statement holds merit on the IP then let an admin make that determination. Advice to help you avoid trouble. ⋙–Berean–Hunter—► 19:56, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]Warning copied over from ANIPassaMethod, note the following -Do not refer to someone as an activist (any kind) unless the source supports it (that's misuse of sources) Do not refer to someone as an activist as their job in infoboxes and ledes, unless they work for Stonewall or Greenpeace or are chained to a tree/railings somewhere (that's WP:UNDUE Do not edit war.

But what about the IP? He has already admitted it is him here. Isn't that block evasion? Pass a Method talk 21:04, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
