Hi Doright, I responded to your recent email but it was returned as disabled. Hope all is well. -- MPerel 17:38, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
Hi Mperel, I haven't been on WP for a long time and the associated email address was deactivated. In any case, it's nice to know that I'm remembered with some affection. However, I did not email you. I have now reactivated my email address and look forward to hearing from you either here or there. All is very well. :) Doright ( talk) 17:56, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
Oops! Sorry about that. Aelffin ( talk) 12:08, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
Oh gosh Doright. And a miserable corner it is. At least for the moment I’m afraid I lack the energy required to involve myself there. That article belongs to a subject area that draws out the worst in people on many sides (including "my" side) and I don’t think I have the fortitude to bear it. Vandalism patrol, reverting "penis" and "poo", is the extent of what I can handle for the time being : ) -- MPerel 07:23, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
If you're interested to know about the context of my brief block, you could read a lengthy sectionn of AN/I here. The editor who blocked me (and quite a few others) took a fair amount of heat for this and had to step back from it. If you're concerned that I might end up being blocked again and want to help by making me aware of policies etc., may I suggest that my talk page is the appropriate place for that sort of assistance. thanks Nomoskedasticity ( talk) 00:08, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
hi! i just want to apologize for reverting your edit whitout stating my reason for doing so. i mistakingly thought you had simply removed my sentence, while in reality you had relocated and reformulated it. therfore, i (wrongly) didn't bother to write anything in the comments field. i'm sorry for this rather rude behaviour of mine.

Thanks for the heads-up. Glad you are okay with my edit. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Grunge6910 ( talk • contribs) 01:38, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
Dear Doright, thank you for taking part in
my RfB. As you may know, it was
not passed by bureaucrats.
I would, however, like to thank you for taking the time to voice your concerns about my candidacy. Unfortunately very few of the opposes gave me advice on points I should improve upon (bar the examples of incivility), and I ask you now, very humbly, to visit
my talkpage, should you have any concerns about any of my actions here.
I remain eager to serve you as an administrator and as an editor. ~

Please be more specific before performing big reverts. Note that you have removed at least nine citations from reliable sources added by multiple editors, claiming they are "original research". If you wish to claim "original research" when removing citations, considerably more specificity is necessary to justify your actions. Otherwise, it's just edit-warring. Exactly which citations do you object to, and why? -- John Nagle ( talk) 17:40, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi. I reverted your last edit to that article, I'm afraid. You removed Palestine from the list of prime ministers by country, arguing that Palestine is not a country. While this is obviously technically true, I don't think it is an uncontroversial edit. As such, I think you should discuss on the talk page first whether or not Palestine should be removed from the list. If, then, consensus is reached that it should be removed, you are of course very free to remove it again. I hope this is okay with you, and you should by no mean think that your contributions are not appreciated. - Lilac Soul ( talk • contribs • count) • I'm watching this page so just reply to me right here! 16:43, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
Doright, I have been fighting this exact battle for days (weeks?) now. Glad to have a fellow here. Head hurts from all that wall-banging. I think the final resolution was that enough people decided that since Nableezy speaks Arabic, he ought to know. Either that or some folks just gave up, as I had until you reopened it. In fact, user:Cerejota put it on the OR noticeboard here: [3] . I'll see if I can find the archive as well, if you have a spare month of life, lol. Tundrabuggy ( talk) 07:18, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did to
2008–2009_Israel–Gaza_conflict. Your edits appear to constitute
vandalism and have been
reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the
sandbox. Thank you. Doright the arbitrary addition of controversial content to the first sentence of an article about a controversial event is bound to be controversial. Please discuss these sort of edits first on
Talk:2008–2009_Israel–Gaza_conflict. Thank you.

Hey, I noticed your comment on the former lead discussion page. I felt the dispute was solved when editors agreed on replacing "much of the Arab world" with "parts of...". If you feel further discussion is needed, please proceed on the ordinary talk page, and copy (or maybe better link) relevant stuff there. It is better to have all discussions in one place, the creation of talk-subpages was an exeption owned solely to huge size/high traffic. Thank you Skäpperöd ( talk) 08:28, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
I did add a bit more to the section on Talk with regard to your edit of the lead. I believe that the War on Terror should be termed the International War on Terror. Also I found several more sources besides Ledeen that made the same point. I still have a really hard time accepting that those references say that there is such a thing as the Gaza Massacre. Allowing it is to allow an error. Any high school student with a good command of English grammar will tell you that a name is a proper noun and a proper noun is capitalized. It may be a detail but it I choke on it. Happen to have spent a few years teaching this. Tundrabuggy ( talk) 05:56, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Those kinds of articles are ones I avoid like the plague; recent events on anything even remotely Israel-related, but particularly anything controversial, generally attract the worst kinds of SPAs and POV-ers. In a few months, when this has all died down, it might be more editable. In the meantime, I've changed the archiving time to something more sane. Jayjg (talk) 01:27, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
I have nominated Robert Michael, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Robert Michael. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.
