What Wikipedia is notAucaman, I have seen that you are going around user's talk pages trying to get them against me. Let me remind you Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not, Wikipedia is NOT a battleground. Please stay WP:CIVIL and If you have anything to say to me, come and say it to myself --Kash 12:06, 22 March 2006 (UTC) You may want to comment on it. --Cool CatTalk|@ 13:51, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
Questionable diffsTwo edits of yours have been brought to my attention that I wanted to comment about. First of all, this is quite innapropriate. If you believe that a user's claims are without base, simply ask them to source it, or something else more civil. Secondly, please be careful when you edit discussions as you did here. It seems fairly clear that you did not capture the full discussion under the title you placed, which could confuse new users trying to enter the discussion, and can sometimes seem to present a biased view of things. --InShaneee 20:22, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
MediationHi Aucaman, I want to ask for a mediation for the article of Kurdish people as I explained it in the talk page, but I don't know exactly where and how to do that can I ask you please help me, Thanks. Diyako Talk + 23:10, 22 March 2006 (UTC) Iranian nationsSure, no problem. I'll go ahead and add any pertinent info that needs to be added, but the Greater Iran article already looks fine to me. --Khoikhoi 07:20, 23 March 2006 (UTC) Endo-European speakings of southwestern AsiaHi, I have several times read the article Aryan since long ago, but because it is not a wel-formed article I could not still understand how it defines Aryans! Maybe it lacks a clear definition of Aryan (or maybe I clould not find it). If we want to solve the problems in articles related to peoples who are considered to be linguistic decendants of those so-called Aryans, we should first have a clear definition of Aryan which by some people is thought to be ethnic ancestor of modern IE speakers. Then we can go on to other smaller branches and correct the myths an political views inserted incorrectly by some people. that is my oponion. Diyako Talk + 17:00, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
Welcome to Esperanza!Welcome, Aucaman/Archive 3, to Esperanza, the Wikipedia member association! As you might know, all the Esperanzians share one important goal: the success of this encyclopedia. Within that, we then attempt to strengthen the community bonds, and be the "approachable" side of the project. All of our ideals are held in the Charter, the governing document of the association. Now that you are a member you should read the guide to what to do now or you may be interested in some of our programs. A quite important program is the StressUnit, which seeks to support editors who have encountered any stress from their Wikipedia events, and are seeking to leave the project. So far, Esperanza can be credited with the support and retention of several users. We will send you newsletters to keep you up to date. Also, we have a calendar of special events, member birthdays, and other holidays that you can add to and follow. In addition to these projects, several more missions of Esperanza are in development, and are currently being created at Esperanza/Possibles. I encourage you to take an active voice in the running of Esperanza. We have a small government system, headed by our Administrator general, Celestianpower, and guided by the Advisory Committee comprised of KnowledgeOfSelf, JoanneB, FireFox and Titoxd. The next set of elections will be in April, and I would be glad to see you vote, or even consider running for a position. If you have any other questions, concerns, comments, or general ideas, Esperanzian or otherwise, know that you can always contact Celestianpower by email or talk page or the Esperanza talk page. Alternatively, you could communicate with fellow users via our IRC channel, #wikipedia-esperanza (which is also good for a fun chat or two :). I thank you for joining Esperanza, and look forward to working with you in making Wikipedia a better place to work! RollbackYou may only use rollback for clear vandalism, not a content dispute. As far as I remember, you've used the rollback function against me twice the last time being today [1] [2], please stop or next time I'll tke this issue to an admin and your rollback function might be taken away from you. --ManiF 16:38, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
Artilces nominated for deletionI appreciate your comments on this page [3].Heja Helweda 23:23, 24 March 2006 (UTC) JoTurner RfAAucaman, I had some rather heated exchanges with JoTurner when he first arrived on WP. He seemed to me to be extremely devout and prone to take offense. He has mellowed a lot, and quickly too. I get the feeling that he's a smart kid, somewhat out of sync with his environment, and that conversion to Islam was both a benign sort of adolescent rebellion, and a way to just be a PERSON, without having to be "African-American". WP gives him a way to be a "citizen of the world" as well, and a place to feel effective regardless of age. Some of our best Wikipedians are young. Given that he's young, and changing and growing fast, I'd just like him to have more time to settle. That's all. I don't think a few months is enough time to get a full understanding of how things work here. But if he gets the adminship -- well, I expect it will turn out OK. I'm not horrified by the prospect. I don't think you need to change your vote. That was your gut feeling and you should stick by it. Zora 14:02, 25 March 2006 (UTC) צ TransliterationThe IPA character that accurately transliterates the Hebrew letter צ is the affricate ligature /ʦ/. This symbol, however, is absent from many fonts, and so a bridge may be used instead, /t͡s/. The use of simple /ts/ is incorrect because the pronunciation of the plosive followed by the fricative is very different from the pronunciation of the affricate itself. This is very obvious in German where the two sounds, both /t͡s/ and /ts/, are often found side by side, and are pronounced clearly differently. Confer nichts /nɪçts/ and jetzt /jɛt͡st/. Note that this sound is written in Rumanian by ţ, t with subscript comma; and in the Slavic languages by c. In Old English and Old German orthography, z was used when this sound occurred.

AcusationsYou made several accusations in your comment here that are patently unnacceptable. Specifically, your accusations about another user's purpose for using Wikipedia is a blatant violation of the Assume Good Faith policy. This is, of course, in addition to the personal attacks you made by accusing the same user of expressing 'racist-nationalist' views, and of being a 'rich, immature' person. You've rode the fence in regard to policy with a lot of your activities in the past; this isn't one of those times. If you make any more comments like this, you will be temporarily blocked from editing. --InShaneee 20:52, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
Persian JewsI'll takes a look.- Moshe Constantine Hassan Al-Silverburg | Talk 07:42, 27 March 2006 (UTC) Yea they were making some pretty ridiculous statements, but I don't really see it permeating the article too much besides it being a little bit too focused on Persian history instead of the history of the Jews in persia, I made some small changes and I'll my eye on it.- Moshe Constantine Hassan Al-Silverburg | Talk 10:33, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
3RR violation at Iranian peoplesHi, you violated the three-revert rule on Iranian peoples. I have disabled your editing permissions for 24 hours. Please read our guide on dispute resolution during the time you are unable to contribute to Wikipedia. Feel free to return after your block expires, but take your differences to the talk page and please refrain from edit warring. Cheers, —Ruud 13:11, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
Your first revert was really a revert [5]. {{totallydisputed}} and {{disputed}} are not diffent enough not to count this as a revert. —Ruud 20:50, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
ResponseSorry I just looked at what you call my first revert and it appears that I replaced the {{totallydisputed}} tag with a {{dispute}} tag. I don't think these are the same. User Khoikhoi was not participating in the talks (and he did not give ANY explanation for removing the tag), so I thought he was removing the tag because he believed the article was neutral. I'm not asking you to unblock me, but it would be nice to know the reasoning involved in calling this a revert. As far as I know, the totallydisputed tag carries more weight than a disputed tag, so I was indeed considering Khoikhoi's revert when making that edit. If I wanted to revert, I could have just replaced the totallydisputed tag with a totallydisputed tag. This doesn't count as a revert under the definition given there. Could you also (before you even reply to me) report (or deal with) User:Khoikhoi's violation of 3RR at the same time? I don't think it would be fair if he gets away with it. His violation is a lot more straight-forward than mine. He's are the links to his reverts: [6][7][8][9]. Thank you, AucamanTalk 05:13, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
No, as I've said before {{disputed}} and {{totallydisputed}} are much too similar for this not to be called a revert. And yes, Khoikhoi violated 3RR as well. —Ruud 13:11, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
Leave up messages, OK?It's not an offense per se, Aucaman, but it's considered rather rude to remove messages, even angry ones, from your talk page. If you want to come out of the arbitration smelling like a rose, you are going to have to make an effort at good behavior. That means watching your reverts, not removing messages, and generally putting the means ahead of the ends. It's OK to "lose" if you're behaving correctly and the other users aren't. Eventually it will work out. Sometimes it takes months, but it does work out. Zora 07:30, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
No, it's not fair. But if you bug admins too much re single offenses, they're going to tune you out. This place is just too big, and there are too few admins on duty, to ensure strict justice in every case. But as I said to Ahwaz, if you're patient, and keep track of a string of offenses, a pattern of misbehavior is eventually going to get someone censured or banned. BTW, I'm not preaching at you from a position of total irreproachability. I just went over 3RR in the Zakir Naik article, and reported myself to an admin :/ I was so pissed off I lost track. So I'm familiar with the temptation to ruthlessly revert war. Let's see what happens to me. Zora 08:06, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
Mutual aidI have set up a notice board to give collective support to those facing racism, nationalist bigotry and group intimidation while editing articles related to Middle Eastern issues. There are a growing number of people who are coming across the same problems with the same users, but are outnumbered and over-ruled. It is plain and simple bullying. They are being turned off Wikipedia because of this behaviour. I hope that we can all support each other. The title is "Hurriyya", which means "freedom".--Ahwaz 17:51, 28 March 2006 (UTC) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Hurriyya_notice_board Blocked for 24 hoursI have blocked you for 24 hours concerning this comment, coming right after I warned you not to get into it with other users. Not only do you accuse this user of being a troll, but you threaten him with a block. Please use this time to calm down and take a few steps away from this situation, and when you come back, remember, focus on content and guidelines. --InShaneee 18:24, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
The first step on what to do is not to continue calling other users trolls after you were just blocked for that. Considering how blatant and flagrant this violation is, consider it a courtesy that I'm warning you at all before reblocking you, this time for a longer period. Keep things civil, it's that simple. --InShaneee 01:09, 30 March 2006 (UTC) Questionable stuff
Friendly talkWell maybe you should learn to leave people alone when they don't want to be bothered. In any case if there was any advice in this I'll try to figure it out and maybe learn something from it. I'm not going to bother giving you any personal advice, but maybe you should reconsider you whole approach to editing this Wikipedia. From what I see a lot of people seem to write stuff that are in violation to WP:NOR and somewhat controversial, and, when called on it, would try to find (ad hoc) sources that back-up their claims. This is not the best way to write articles. You should read the sources first then make edits, not the other way around. It has caused a lot of problems, and I'm sure you agree with me on this. And don't worry about calling me "anti-Iranian". I'm sure it's been a misunderstanding. I'm Iranian myself and most of the people I hang out with are Iranian. I only brought it up because you seemed to be implying that I was the one violating the policies. I don't think calling a troll a troll deserves blockage and I'll make sure this is dealt with. AucamanTalk 14:50, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
Feel free to criticise my behaviour on wikipedia - I am learning same as you are, although I do see myself as a critic when it comes to Wikipedia's power strucutre (as posted on my blog), but these are the current rules and we should follow them.

When people revert stuff it is usually a sign that the source that was provided was weak enough to be successfully challenged by a dissenter.

For that matter, North Indians are Iranian people? Would you call the Bengalis, an Iranian people. They are Aryan after all. I would like to make the correction that Aryan signifies the Indo-Iranian branch itself and that Iranians are just a branch of the Aryan people, not the entire Aryan people itself. The Aryan people includes the equally prominent Indo-Aryans in addition to the Nurestanis. -User: Afghan Historian abdul rabb sayyafhis name is abdul rabb rasul sayyaf i dont know why somebody put it down as abdul rasul sayyaf, thats an insult to his name as abdul rabb means the servant of god whereas abdul rasul means the servant of the prophet, which is an unislamic name. heres a bad google translation of a website on him i know what his name is, i mean i went to university with his nephew, and these afghans are pretty proud of their family and thats all i heard from his mouth abdul rabb this abdul rabb that lol hey on the term persiani read your reply about persian jews. I agree with what you are saying considering i have done my homework and read about persian jews. i also think that the term persian can be applied to people that also live in other countries and dont speak persian. because people did move around and may have lost their mother tongue to assilimilate into new cultures. what do you think about that? you can see this with some people in pakistan and india and probably other countries because the genetics and characteristics still remain to this day. My RfAHi. I am sorry to bother you but I wondered if you might be prepared to take another look at my RfA nomination. The main reason that I ask this is because there has previously been some confusion as to my talk count and I also wonder if there might have been some confusion regarding the duration of my contributions. I would also like to comment on some of the concerns raised by others, which I have discussed on the nomination page, but which you may not be aware of. Firstly with regard to my talk contributions and the duration of my contributions. I just wanted to clarify that I do have substantial numbers of contributions in the user talk namespace although significantly less in the main article and wikipedia talk namespace, so I do have a good history of interactions with other users but primarily on their user page (furthermore I have a good track record of warning vandals - something is often lacking for many vandal fighters both admin and non-admin). Regarding the duration of my contributions, I just wanted to clarify that I have now been contributing for 15 months in total and, although I have had a few "lean" months when my focus have been outside of Wikipedia, I had almost 2000 contributions before February and there have been 9 months when I have made 100+ contributions. WIth regards to the concerns raised by other, which aren't covered by the above, they seem to relate primarily to my lack of contributions to the article talk and wikipedia talk namespaces and what this says about my community involvement and exposure to process. Firstly I would like to say that I don't think my contributions in this area are particularly low when compared to other current nominees and recently created admins who are/were heavily supported (I have provided some details on this in the comments section of the nomination) - as I said in the comments section this is not to say "they are supported so why aren't I", rather it is just to provide a benchmark to compare how common my contribution pattern is. Secondly I would like to point out that I do not typically revert vandalism in these namespaces which I believe play a significant part in the number of these contributions for vandal-fighter editors (especially in the article talk namespace). Finally I would just like to reiterate my personal opinion that, regarding edits to Wikipedia talk, contributing and understanding are different things (i.e. I do understand the policys and guidelines even though I have not actively contributed to them). With regard to my community involvement, I do have a fair number of edits to the mian Wikipedia namespace and also the user talk namespace as previously mentioned. I understand that contacting you in this way may well be considered "campaigning" but I want to assure you that I am driven by good practical intentions rather than ego. As you will be aware, I am primarily a vandal fighter and I feel that the admin tools will allow me to far better serve the community in this area. Specifically I come across a lot of situations were there are very few editors on RC patrol and a lot of vandalism is being missed, this is compounded by the fact that AIAV is often not being heavily monitored during the same periods meaning that blocks are delayed and a lot of time is spent reverting vandals who have already received a final warning. This extra time spent reverting known vandals obviously mean that much new vandalism is missed - with the obvious effect on the quality and credibility of Wikipedia. I would like to sum by saying that I feel I could make good use of the tools and that I have never done anything to raise concerns that I would misuse them. Cheers TigerShark 20:56, 2 April 2006 (UTC) Seriously, I have to point something out to youThis is my personal opinion and I could be wrong and if I am a beg your pardon, but I think the problem in the Persian Jew article is because of you. Yes, I think it has originated as a means to balance what is percieved as your attacks on other articles. No offense, but you have a share in the blame. It is a shame that people have to go to such a level to counter or defend what the beleive is a worthy cause. This is why i asked you to reform yourselves. Persian Jews are now being victimized and things that need not be mentioned are being pushed. You see for every action there is a reaction. I will defend the truth and guard that article. I hope it is not in vain with other user:Diyakos or user:Acumans. Like I said this is a sad matter, but there is also a lesson to be learned. I ask you now to clear your slate and coperate with myself and other editors to achieve a feeling of community and understanding. If we can all put aside our differences as individuals that is a step closer to a juster world society. We can notspread propaganda, becuase beleive me it is minute but has a share to play in strife. 69.196.139.250 01:32, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
