User talk:Liftarn/Archive 1Open SiteHeh, thanks. I'm just trying to be reasonable, and create something that's neutral, as opposed to pro-or-anti-ODP. If you've got any ideas for making it more neutral (Delirium commented that it was a wee bit on the pro side, and I was afraid I might have done that), feel free to make changes...it'd be appreciated. Oh, and just out of curiosity...I noticed in the Open Site page history that you made a nasty edit there...did we fire you or something? :P -- Ambivalenthysteria
Re: Garrett Morgan, traffic lightGreetings Liftarn, There is quite a bit of evidence against Garrett Morgan inventing the first traffic light of any type. Same goes for the gas mask. Huntington/Nobel Prize EconomicsHey - why did you change the Nobel Laureat in Economics mention in the Huntington article? I am aware that the economic prize is seperate from the regular (and original) nobel prizes, but its winners are commonly (and officially) reffered to as Nobel Laureats - both on Wikipedia's Nobel Prize article and on the official webpage of the NP committee. I would like to revert your change. Any thoughts? bastel 18:39, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

I don't think "form of racism" can be reasonably considered part of the definition of Zionism. Zionism can be defined as, among other formulations, the movement for Jews to have an independent state in the Middle East (Israel). This can then be interpreted in a number of ways—it might be justified, or it might be racist, or it might be something else. But those are interpretations, not part of the definition. --Delirium 11:34, Feb 11, 2004 (UTC)
The definition of Zionism is "a political movement among Jews aimed at the creation of a Jewish state." That Zionism is a form of racism is an opinion, which is highly contested and therefore does not belong in the opening paragraph. The question is discussed in the appropriate place in the article. Adam 12:42, 11 Feb 2004 (UTC)
I don't really know what you're talking about, but you are of course free to make edits to the text. Just as I am free to revert them if you insert your opinions into the text. A lot of work has gone into creating a balanced text at both this article and Zionism and edits that weaken that will be reverted, if not by me then by others. Adam 13:08, 11 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Article LicensingHi, I've started the Free the Rambot Articles Project which has the goals of getting users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to...
using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) version 1.0 and 2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to the GFDL (which every contribution made to Wikipedia is licensed under), but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles (See the Multi-licensing Guide for more information). Since you are among the top 1000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. So far over 90% of people who have responded have done this.
To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}} template (or {{MultiLicensePD}} for public domain) into their user page, but there are other templates for other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:
OR
Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}} with {{MultiLicensePD}}. If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know at my talk page what you think. It's important to know, even if you choose to do anything so I don't keep asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk) 14:37, Dec 3, 2004 (UTC) Would you be upset if I removed the Doric capital illustration, from the Nordisk familjebok which you originally downloaded?

Debate on this issue rumbles on (see the talk page for details). I think for your own benefit, you should take Jayjg's advice and separate your edits up so that they don't all get reverted because of the few controversial ones. I know it might seem like he's reverting your stuff deliberately, but you have to take into account how many page Jayjg watches (thousands, as far as I can tell) - he probably just doesn't have time to reword controversial entries. Also, I don't think he's suggesting that everybody who gets called a 'self-hating jew' is one - I just don't think he believes that the phrase is commonly applied to detractors of Israel. I think this is a question of position -a moderate pro-Israeli like him probably doesn't hear the word applied to other Jews as much as I do; I've been at plenty of political meetings that have been disrupted by Zionist extremists attacking other Jews. Also, I don't think you're ever going to get that term "homo oppression" added - I'd just drop it if I were you. The shortend term 'homo' is almost exclusively pejorative, so it will always get edited out. Thanks illWill 22:17, 31 July 2005 (UTC)

Be awareJayjg is running around to a lot of folks with the following reposting and reposting the following message;
So, be aware! --Irishpunktom\talk 16:25, August 19, 2005 (UTC) I've copied you in to my response to Jayjg re:epithetsHello Liftarn. Jayjg contacted me re: the political epithets page, so i thought i'd copy you my lengthy response. Hi Jay. I’ve taken a look at the edit history of the article and, whilst it is true that Liftrarn is disrupting this article to make a point, If I'm being fair I can vaguely understand why he’s doing it. I think there seems to be a greater burden of proof attached to certain sections, which is based on the fact that many editors originate from common backgrounds where epithets can be understood to mean the same things – and so less proof is required to them. This also means that people are more used to collaborating with each other to produce mutually acceptable definitions. You personally don’t need to be told that when the term ‘Zionist’ appears in a Syrian newspaper op-ed it isn’t referring to Theodore Herzl, but this might be a lot less obvious to people from different backgrounds (such as many of my fellow leftists, for example). Conversely, when I read the word ‘Commie,’ I can easily work out whether it is an accurate description of somebody’s politics or a political slur, but I can’t assume the same of everybody. The large number of individual sections of the article, and correspondingly large number of editors/viewpoints, mean that it’s pretty messy, and so much easier to devolve into edit wars. I think the focus on the Jewish section is not too surprising because there are a number of editors who are working from a specific viewpoint (pro-Israeli, if somebody wants to be reductive), whose views sometimes coincide with a number of right-wingers who also edit the article (including troublemakers like Coqsportif). This gives the article the impression of being slanted towards one POV occasionally, even if this isn’t actually the case. Liftarn seems to have become annoyed at being outnumbered, and is reacting by disrupting the article. Personally, I don’t think Liftarn’s inputs to the article are much more disruptive than some of Guy Montag’s, who has also removed compromise edits on a number of occasions, though this is may be to do with difficulty in keeping track of a very fragmented talk page discussion. There is also an inherent difficulty in citing and sourcing this article in that political epithets, by their very nature, are often euphemistic and change their meaning depending on who uses them and in what context they are used. For example, the only people that I have ever heard use the term ‘Islamo t’ are islamophobes, so I would naturally lean towards including that information in the article. However, this is possibly because, unlike US-based editors, I live in a country with a high Muslim population where it is not acceptable to use that term in print, so I try and assume that the term has different connotations in different countries, based on different media standards. Conversely, the terms ‘Judeo m’ and ‘Zionazi’ are sometimes used in my personal experience by people who are not anti-Semites, but just lack tact and/or experience of talking politics with Jewish people, whereas I doubt this is the case in the US as people are more aware of Jewish concerns, and also more likely to be offended by the term ‘Nazi’ than they are here. This is only an example, as I think similar distinctions would apply to many, if not the majority, of the epithets cited. Consider the wildly varying interpretations of a term such as ‘liberal’, which means utterly different things in different English-speaking populations. The problem is cased by the extent to which people keep asserting their own understandings of the epithets – to use Guy as an example again, I don’t think he is very well placed to understand the use of terms in circles politically critical to Israel (which are more diverse than he credits), as his reaction will always be emotionally clouded by preconceived opinions. In my own case, I wouldn’t pronounce on the use of certain terms (such as 'blue dog democrat') in US conservative circles to the extent that I don’t know very much about them. The only suggestion that I can make is that editors try and find a common format for all the epithets. via discussion on talk page, and stick to it rigorously. I would say that each one needs to have a description of the term without an assumption of the type of people who use it, and shying away from complicated descriptions of context and interpretation. Even if this means actually deleting most of the cites, it would be better than the amateur textual interpretations which currently comprise many of them. Either that, or each and every definition must be expanded to include context. I’m not sure exactly how to go about it, but consistency is what’s needed. I have copied this message (following a bit of context) onto Liftarn’s talk page, and will try and think of something to put on the talk page of the article. As it currently stands, it is non-encyclopaedic, and a POV playground. Sorry if I don’t have too much time – I’m moving house at the moment. Get back to me with your thoughts, and maybe we could put detailed suggestions on the talk paage for the benefit of all editors.

real punkHello, I have noticed you use the punk-fan userbox. You may be also interested using {{user realpunk}}, which look like this:
Assistance neededYour assistance is needed in the discussion section of the Sweden Democrats article. Please read under the last heading in the discussion section. A member of the Sweden Democrats claims that some of the sources do not refer to the Sweden Democrats as "extreme right-wing" but merely "right-winged". He also makes other claims about how the sources translate into English. Since I can't read Swedish and this person has considerable bias, I need you to read the articles and verify/debunk his claims. WGee 06:01, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
About SweHomerHe is wreaking havoc in the Sweden Democrats article. His edits are totally unnacceptable and I will delete his rants whenever possible. He is threatening the integrity, truthfulness, and reliability of this encyclopedia. I'm sure that is a criteria for banning or blocking, but I'll have to see. I have seen these political rants before on the Sweden Democrats page, and I now know that it was him. WGee 19:21, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
We have tried to talk with him using th talk page. And it worked so-so. He called the other editors a lot of nasty things, but at least we had a discussion going. Then he obviously got tired of being asked for sources and wrote a long argumentative piece instead. // Liftarn Sign talk page commentsPlease sign talk page comments with four ~ .

Respect FloNight advice PleaseAgain you are taking turns in reverting. Can you please stop this and restore text to the version FloNight put it in? "Do not remove or re-insert text without discussion leading to consensus. You have been asked nicely by myself and Mel." I put this in the "talk" page of everyone, so there can me no further accidents. These to reverts were of course not done on purpose, you both just missed to read what Flonight wrote.SweHomer 11:53, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
Categorization discussionsHi Liftarn. I wanted to remind you that while Categorization naming discussions can begin on talk pages of the categories themselves (or wherever), the actual renaming and moving of articles should be handled only on WP:CFD. Because you depopulated the Nobel Prize in Economics winners category prior to the discussion, now someone has to go and move all those articles back in light of the consensus to not rename. --Syrthiss 15:46, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
A little favourHey, could you look out at the socialism article every so often? User:Sam Spade keeps reverting back to his own version without attempting discussion, and he's the only one who has a problem with the version that's currently on the page. If you see him doing it again, could you please point this out to him? Thanks. -- infinity0 23:22, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
Do NOT tag the sources of derivative images with {{redundant}}You tagged Image:Piratey.jpg with the {{redundant}} tag, stating it was redundant to it's vectorized version. This is WRONG. While it certainly is true that future uses of the image should probably use the vectorized version, the original image is in no way redundant. In fact, we need to keep the original image around for legal licensing purposes. If we delete the original image, then we lose the proof that it was relased under a free license (or into the public domain, in this case), which then makes the derivative, verctorized version illegal and unlicensed. That would be a Bad Thing. Do NOT tag the sources of derivative images with {{redundant}}. Thanks for your other work on Wikipedia, and please don't take this as an attack. It's just really important, is all. JesseW, the juggling janitor 02:40, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Sonett IV proposed mergerHi - I hope I have interpreted the article history correctly, in assuming that you proposed the merger of the above article with Saab Sonett. Any further ideas? It doesn't seem to have captured anyone else's imagination! I would be please to hear from you. Tack så mycket. Please reply to User talk:Ballista - :) Ballista 18:04, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
I agree fully with you on this - what's the next move? - Ballista 15:57, 29 April 2006 (UTC) Saab 60Hi - thanks for enquiry & interest. However, I don't have sources, unless I can find an original sheet of paper done by a friend who used to work in the place where they were made. I am not at home at the moment, but I will try to find something, when I am home. I have, of course, seen the car. - Ballista 15:56, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
On a different subject, you have saved me a lot of work putting my images on the Commons - I had contemplated doing so and had already put ther old Morris 10/4 picture there. However, I am a slow worker, so had not put time aside to do the rest. As a matter of interest, why did you decide to do that work? All the best - Ballista 15:56, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
Citing non-credible sourcesPlease do not restore statements sourced by noncredible sources (as you did in Anarchism and anarcho-capitalism). Wikipedia policy (Wikipedia:Reliable_sources) says: "A personal website (either operated by one individual or a group of individuals) or blog may be used only as a primary source, i.e., when we are writing about the owner of the website or the website itself. But even then we should proceed with great caution and should avoid relying on information from the website as a sole source. This is particularly true when the subject is controversial, and the self-publisher has no professional or academic standing. WP:V says: "Self-published sources... may be used only as sources of information on themselves, and only in articles about them. For example, the Stormfront website may be used as a source of information on itself in an article about Stormfront, so long as the information is notable, not unduly self-aggrandizing, and not contradicted by reliable, third-party published sources. Self-published sources may never be used as sources of information on another person or topic." Please help to make Wikipedia content more verifiable by only citing credible sources. RJII 03:35, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
That is your opinion. You are ofcourse entitled to an opinion even if it's wrong, but please don't interrupt Wikipedia with your ideas. // Liftarn
It certainly is your opinion and threats is not very nice. Please read Wikipedia:Civility that is official policy. // Liftarn
Correction: A source you consider a self-published, noncredible source. It's thus your opinion about the (A) FAQ. // Liftarn
It's widley published on a lot of other sites. As far as I know it's not yet published on paper. // Liftarn
Actually it is. // Liftarn PentacleIf you can recall where you saw the pentacle as a symbol of Christ, please let me know. patsw 18:33, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

Userboxes: A New ProposalHey, I've noticed that you've been active on the Userbox deletion page, either strongly FOR or AGAINST the use of the new T2 for deleting userboxes. I have noticed that most of the community is strong in their opinions on this issue; for that reason, I created my own proposal which attempts to create a middle ground for the two groups, and finally get this debate settled once and for all. I welcome your input into the proposal, as well as your (non-binding) vote on the straw poll. Thanks! // The True Sora 01:31, 20 May 2006 (UTC) TrallpunkSorry, I haven't had time to look into this. I found the comparison here, but after reading it twice, it looks like a mistake by someone unfamiliar with the genres. I will get back to you later on. Thanks a lot!--Asterion talk to me 12:10, 20 May 2006 (UTC) Category:Anti-Semitic peopleYou don't seem to be new to Wikipedia, but in case you haven't been told this befor. When editing you have to maintain neutral (see WP:NPOV) and you have to provide sources. In the article Mahmoud Ahmadinejad you have repetedly inserted Category:Anti-Semitic people without giving any sources for why it should be inclued. There is a subject about it on the talk page of the article (Talk:Mahmoud_Ahmadinejad#Category:Anti-Semitic people). Please make give your reasons there. Thanks. // Liftarn
You are refering to "They have created a myth today that they call the massacre of Jews and they consider it a principle above God, religions and the prophets.". Yes, that can be interpreted as he's saying that the Holocaust is a myth. However, drawing such a conclusion qould be WP:OR. Anyway, please continue at Talk:Mahmoud_Ahmadinejad#Category:Anti-Semitic people // Liftarn

Image Tagging Image:1K ZX Chess - Sinclair - ZX81.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:1K ZX Chess - Sinclair - ZX81.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page. If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use. If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Vic Vipr 12:28, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
War Criminals?Ariel Sharon popped up on my watchlist and I noticed that you added him to Category:War criminals. Your doing that is rather subjective and reaks of original research that is sooner nonsense. That category is primarily for convicted war criminals (ie: Julius Streicher) would you kindly self-revert rather than force others to have to do so? Thanks. Netscott 15:51, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Help requestedOn Category_talk:Anti-Semitic_people, user Porky Pig has removed the section including the various disputed allegations of anti-semitism which were divided into sub-sections by individual. Despite the discussion being quite recent he portrayed this as "archiving". Now he has switched tactics and claims the discussions should be had on the various talk pages. Very well. I will divide them up and move them to the various subjects' talk pages for discussion there. That's not what I'm posting here for. I am attempting to open a debate on the category's talk page about objective standards for inclusion. I voted for the category's deletion previously, on the grounds that there were no such standards. Per WP:V and WP:LIVING, I am very concerned about the notion (expressed by various editors) that all such categorizations should be discussed only at their respective talk pages. To me, this would obviously lead to inconsistent standards of inclusion and inevitable unequal treatment of various subjects. What is needed is a single central standard for inclusion in the category, which should be debated at the category's talk page and when decided, posted on the main category page as a guideline to all editors. Would you be interested in commenting at the category's talk page and providing some suggestions on what such objective standards should be? I ask because you seem to display an interest, which is better than the apathy displayed by many other editors on this topic. I have no love for anti-semites, but it disturbs me that few Wikipedians seem to have the sense of principle to stand up for equal treatment when that equal treatment would extend to those they disagree with. Are you willing to do so? Cheers, Kasreyn 17:54, 12 July 2006 (UTC) Porky Pig's RfI involving youHello again. You might be interested to know that Porky Pig has put in a Request for Investigation regarding what he calls your "vandalism". (see here.) Thus far it would appear it is not meeting with much success, as one editor has dismissed it as a matter for Dispute Resolution rather than RfI. I just thought someone ought to inform you, since Porky Pig did not. Kasreyn 22:30, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
cat:antisemitic peopleplease don't use WP as a soap-box. Anti-zionism, controversial opinions != anti-semitism. Please stop populating that awful category ASAP. - CrazyRussian talk/email 17:38, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
Al-Aqsa IntifadaIf those kids are so innocent what were thay doing throwing rocks at israeli forces? And please tell me how during one second can you identify a difference between a black granede and a black stone being thrown at you. After hours and hours of such "incidents" the israeli soldiers can get pretty stressed, so it would be a good idea not to throw stones at them. Also while the kids are just "harmlessly" throwing rocks at Israeli positions ditracting them, militants might at the same time target those positions with deadly RPGs. Try taking the Israelis side for a change. Mieciu K 09:57, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

DMacks 09:46, 1 August 2006 (UTC) Two questions & greetingsHello again - I have two questions for you:
You added the {{pui}} tag here, without any comment. That tag has the bolded heading: This file has been listed on Wikipedia:Possibly unfree images, because it is missing information on its source or copyright status. Every single point in that sentence is false.
So I am going to remove that tag from that image. Please be more careful. AnonEMouse (squeak) 14:23, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
By the way, your "practical joke", the "You have new messages (diff)." at the top of your talk page, is in bad taste. AnonEMouse (squeak) 14:25, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
Image taggingWhen you tag images for PUI, please notify the uploader on their talk page. It's a requirement. SchmuckyTheCat 19:31, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
