Facts on the Ground: Archaeological Practice and Territorial Self-Fashioning in Israeli Society

Nice recent work on this article. I put back a few things you took out and wanted to explain. It is important not to remove things from articles that are relevant and cited to acceptable references per Wikipedia guidelines (see WP:V). Bigglove^talk 03:55, 12 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your note on my talk page (from now on, try to post at the bottom of other stuff rather than on top of the page for better formating. You can click the "+" tab on the top of the page---right next to "edit this page" to start a new talk page section). A reviewer comment concerning an anthropologist's lack of expertise in the language of the country she is writing on certainly raises a valid point regarding a potential limitation of that anthropologist's work. I disagree with removing it from the article. I also think that it would be better to improve the various sections you refer to, rather than removing them from the article completely. Finally, I find the word "reviled" overly emotional and loaded, "criticised" would be better. Take care, Bigglove^talk 14:50, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dave, you keep removing this: "To Maeir, the most astonishing part of the book is a discussion on the last page of the text (p. 281). Abu el-Haj describes and condones the attack, and subsequent ransacking, by a Palestinian mob on what is known as 'Joseph's Tomb' in Nablus in 2001. Several people were killed as a result of this attack; the gleeful tone in which she describes this act of vandalism exemplifies how her political agenda completely overcame her duties as a social scientist."^[1]" from the article. This is Maeir's opinion and it is published in a RS. I understand that you don't agree with it. Perhaps you could try to improve it rather than removing the whole thing. For example, you could quote the book itself side by side with Meeir's statement. But please please please stop removing sourced relevant content. OK?

Hi, I'm afraid I'm at a loss as to what comment you are referring, could you possibly clarify, thanks. Nick (talk) 22:29, 7 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Exenatide

Hi there. Thank you for going back to the Exenatide page, and for following my suggestions; I have no problem with that information being in the lead. I'm not quite sure what you mean about the subcutaneous part, though—I didn't change "under the skin of the abdomen, thigh, or arm" to "subcutaneous injection", I just made ""under the skin of the abdomen, thigh, or arm" link to the subcutaneous injection article.

I'll try to work on the pharmacology part later. It could certainly be made clearer; the article is still in pretty bad shape. Best, Fvasconcellos (t·c) 21:41, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Anytime. I have no idea why in the world someone would use exenatide for weight loss (what with the need for injections and the very, very unpleasant side effects), but if you can find a reliable source, it can be added to the article. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 21:52, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Phil Montgomery=wikified

I did wikified the article about Phil Montgomery. However, some editor reverted this with no reasons given. I rewikified the article, removed the wikified tag, added some Categories. I hope this helps.Thanks-RFD (talk) 13:58, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks for your message-RFD (talk) 11:27, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process.

This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
