Can you give me hand by looking over this AfD for Dekker Dreyer I have a deletionist that won't back off and it's looking pretty grim. I saw you chimed in on another AfD and I'm really looking for some help since I was (previously) a casual editor. Wikimegamaster 08:33, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
Richard Gere/Gerbilling
Yeah, I definitely agree! Gerbilling should be mentioned on the Richard Gere page and Richard Gere should be mentioned on the Gerbilling page. Someone keeps deleting the discussion for this on the talk pages of both articles, IT IS RIDICULOUS(can't we have a discussion without wikilaywering?)69.223.155.14706:51, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
How about you read some guidelines? Consider yourself warned. If you continue to revert archived material to the Talk page at Richard Gere, you will be blocked. -Jmh12309:18, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
Remove unsourced or poorly sourced contentious material[1].
Editors should remove any contentious material about living persons that is unsourced, relies upon sources that do not meet standards specified in Wikipedia:Verifiability, or is a conjectural interpretation of a source (see Wikipedia:No original research). Where the material is derogatory and unsourced or poorly sourced, the three-revert rule does not apply. These principles apply to biographical material about living persons found anywhere in Wikipedia, including user and talk pages. Administrators may enforce the removal of such material with page protection and blocks, even if they have been editing the article themselves. Editors who re-insert the material may be warned and blocked. See the blocking policy and Wikipedia:Libel.
No one is censoring anything. The discussion is in the archive which is linked at the top of the page. I don't share your sense of the importance of including gerbil rumors everywhere; that's childish and silly gossip you might expect to see in the Enquirer but it doesn't befit an encyclopedia. The policy clearly states that material of that nature should be removed, and that editors who reinsert the material may be warned and blocked, but regardless, it's time to archive the page anyway. -Jmh12309:34, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
I put it there myself. All that's happened since then is edit warring. If you'll leave the page alone I'll check and see, and fix it if it is gone. -Jmh12309:46, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
It's a complete mess. I archived everything that was on the talk page, but it's been reverted back and forth a bunch of times and not all are straight reverts, and I can't just go back and revert before all that started, because I'm not sure that will preserve the archive I did. I don't want to try to do this tonight when I'm very tired and mess it up. Do you mind allowing me a day to straighten this out, and next time, please, revert warring is not the answer. -Jmh12310:04, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for your interest in VandalProof!
Unfortunately, your application has been declined because it seems that you don't have at least 250 mainspace edits. When you fulfill this requirement, feel free to re-apply.
I saw your remark on the talk page for the article on "Terrorism" and wasn't entirely sure how you meant it - that is, whether you meant it ironically. Isn't the point that from the perspective of those they were opposing the French resistance were terrorists? That is exactly how the Nazis, and the Wehrmacht, described them.
Just because the Nazi's described the French Resistance as a terrorist organization doesn't make them one. The Nazi's were occupying French territory, and murdering innocent civilians by the thousands(millions if you include all the other countries they occupied). The French resistance really was fighting for their freedom.WacoJacko (talk) 06:23, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
The French Resistance was actually a resistance movement, fighting an invader in their sovereign country(France). That is completely different than a terrorist group like Al-Queda or Hammas.
Wouldn't Al Qaeda and Hamas both say that fighting an invader is at least a central part of what they are doing (especially Hamas I should imagine)? So would have the IRA, of course. I should have mentioned that the French resistance were also described as "terrorists" by the French government, not just by the Germans.
What the the Vichy governemt?? The Vichy government was not a valid government, they were a Nazi puppet regime. Also, Hamas aren't fighting invaders, "Palestine" is not sovereign nation, and it never has been.
Finally, what invader is Al Queda fighting? They attacked the United States inside the United States. Al Qaeda and Hamas are both strictly terrorist groups, nothing else, not freedom fighters, not resistance groups, and certainly not social welfare groups like they have said.WacoJacko (talk) 16:19, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
Associated Press photographer Bilal Hussein had his case overturned by the Iraqi courts and was ordered released, although the US military says they will not release him.
No, that's very clearly vandalism. Please read WP:BLP. That was an incredibly inappropriate page to create. It also violated WP:V and WP:NPOV. Just because you have made good edits before, does not give you permission to vandalize. Given your edit history I would expect you to know better. Gwernol15:48, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
Do you commonly use such inflamatory language and templates with established editors?? I created the page once, I feel that you are being extremely rude and are overreacting. I do not agree at all that it was vandalism. I feel it was a valid page. It was actually an appropriate page to create! What you are doing is censorship. What is this 1984? Are you the thought police?WacoJacko (talk) 15:55, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
Nice, follow up your vandalism with a personal attack. Have you read WP:BLP yet? You cannot add information about living people without very good sources. Your addition was both incorrect and defamatory. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a tabloid gossip rag or your personal blog. You absolutely cannot add rumors and defamation to articles. If you continue, I will block you to prevent further damage to Wikipedia. Gwernol15:59, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
That's not what I said. I said if you continue (i.e. try to recreate the article or continue to defame Gere or others) I will block you. Gwernol16:03, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
I mean you can't defame anyone on Wikipedia. Please read WP:BLP. My warning isn't limited to continued defamation of Gere. Gwernol16:10, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
I was not defaming a person, Gere was not mentioned in the article. Did I defame the gerbil

What's This? Shalom aleichem sports fans, and welcome to the first of what I hope will be a monthly newsletter with the need-to-know information about our fair WikiProject. If you have any questions or comments, or would like to recommend a story for the newsletter, click here to leave a message on the Newsletter Coordinator's talk page. In the News
WikiProject Good Articles is doing sweeps over all our current good articles to ensure they still meet criteria. For more information and how you can help, check out WikiProject Good Articles Sweeps.

To Do
One new Judaism-related article was created this month, the long requested Hebrew Punctuation. Thanks to Epson291 for creating it. Remember, folks, there are over forty standing requests for Judaism articles, so whenever you get the opportunity make sure to go create a few.
In the right column you will see a listing of our most popular articles. All of these articles got 170,000+ page hits in the past month, and they should be on everyone's watchlist so we can keep them vandalism-free.
Spread the word! No, not the Word... (well, you can do that too) I'm talking about inviting knowledgeable users to join the project. You can proclaim your undying love of WikiProject Judaism in methods mild to wild, check the project template page and member list for examples. We also now have a flashy advertisement, to use it add {{Wikipedia ads|ad=148}} to your userpage.

Now with 200% more Jewishness!
Yes, folks, we're moving on up. This newsletter is now the newsletter for both WikiProject Judaism, WikiProject Jewish History, and WikiProject Kabbalah. In the future, I may split them, but for now I think we'll be just fine with one. As always, any questions or comments should be directed to me, L'Aquatique.
A Special Dispatch
Just a note, not aimed at anyone in particular. By order of the administrative cabal, it is officially not cool (and possibly dickish) to call someone an anti-semite when they aren't being anti-semitic. Anti-semitic is a very charged word, and it's important only to use it when you're absolutely sure it applies, lest it become the subject of a Godwin-esque law. Remember Hanlon's Razor: never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity. In the News
A new class on the importance scale has been added- C Class- which covers articles better than start but not quite to B Class yet. It is up to the WikiProjects to decide whether to adopt them or not. Currently, there has been little discussion within our Projects, so if you feel strongly either way be sure to note so at your Project[s].
Thanks largely to the efforts of Xyz7890, a new navbox has come into being featuring Halakha topics. See: Template talk:Halakha to join in the conversation about how it can best be improved.
To Do
The Simple English Wikipedia is beginning a project of creating and improving articles related to religion, including Judaism. At the present time, volunteers are needed to propose our most important subjects for articles to be created. The official working list is here and a more extended list is here. If you are unsure of proper topics, you might try checking our lists of top importance level articles: Judaism and Jewish History. (WikiProject Kabbalah currently doesn't have such a list)
[Simple English] WikiProject Christianity is considering running a monthly drive wherein two or three top importance articles from English Wikipedia are simplified and moved over to S.E. They have extended an offer to work with us in creating a similar project for Judaism related articles. For questions or volunteer opportunities, please contact User:John Carter.
WikiProject Kabbalah is in dire need of an article rating system for quality and importance. If you are familiar with that system and have some time on your hands, please create one. It could also use some infoboxes...
