What?

I'm informed that others are less sensitive to ethnic slurs than perhaps I am.

On the second point, as far as I'm concerned there's been a "Palestine" pretty much continuously since 1798 when it appears on Napoleon's map. The borders are not fixed, but then the borders of Israel are not fixed. Calling them the "Palestinian Territories" is a political statement in the same way that Iran's use of "Zionist Entity" is a political statement, and the "pointiness" of the former is considerable.

USS Liberty incident

Hi, PR. I looked at parts of Talk:USS Liberty incident but didn't find the issue you were referring to at User talk:Moonriddengirl. Would you please give me a diff or a link to a single comment by a single user that states what information you would like to see included (or deleted?) in the article and why? If there is no such single comment, you may want to write one: it's important to present arguments in an organized way so that new editors can easily become involved in the discussion. Thanks. ☺Coppertwig(talk) 03:42, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

My response to your recent request-for-comment is now on my talk page.Ken (talk) 22:30, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

World Focus

The publishers lack of any reputation is still a bit of a worry there PR. They have no reputation for fact checking or anything else and I don't think such an unknown quanitity is a good source for such a controversial subject, especially when we have just had a paragraph saying the exact same thing. --Narson ~ Talk • 13:16, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

We have a paragraph on the claims just before it. Why do we need two? I still remain unconvinced on using material some would consider coming from, at the very least, an incredibly negative (As as much as Alan Hart doesn't appear to be pro-US but he is incredibly anti-Israeli) source as fact, when we have other sources saying much the same (As demonstrated by the previous paragraph) --Narson ~ Talk • 14:23, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

On Stephen Green....I am assuming we are talking fundementalist protestant Stephen Green? Much ridiculed by all? --Narson ~ Talk • 14:26, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

OK, so it is Stephen J. Green the former US Ambassador to Singapore? But yes, no problem with him being used as a source (And look, reputable publisher too!). I won't go into the vagrities of internet scholar databases, suffice to say not all articles are submitted to the databases. However, I still question the need for this to be a whole other paragraph. It seems the point sourced o Mr Green could easily be a sentence on the end of the preceeding paragraph rather than trying to bulk out one POV. I still don't rate Alan Hart's book published by some whackadoo publishing company there, especially when we have better sources for much the same point. --Narson ~ Talk • 15:25, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Heyo

Heyo PalestineRemembered,
I'm sorry for taking somewhat drastic measures, but I felt that you are not trying to work out the kinks of improving the issues for which you were given the original sanctioning of forced mentorship. As this is certainly not my role here on Wikipedia, I've raised my action for community review on the ANI threads here
With respect, Jaakobou^Chalk Talk 15:34, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
