Hello, I am a member of a research group at Palo Alto Research Center (formerly known as Xerox PARC) studying how conflicts occur and resolve on Wikipedia. Due to your experience in conflict resolution on Wikipedia (e.g., as a member of the Mediation Cabal) we’re extremely interested in your insights on this topic. We have a survey at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=400792384029 which we are inviting a few selected Wikipedians to participate in, and we would be extremely appreciative if you would take the time to complete it. As a token of our gratitude, we would like to present you with a PARC research star upon completion. Thank you for your time.

No problem (about ignoring Tabib) :). I think its best though to delete his unhelpful comments altogether (just as you have done with Fadix)--you clearly see that he is poisoning the mediation process with his accusations and attacks. And by keeping reverting you on the talk page. You don't need to allow him to do it--I urge you to stick to your decision and move his comments up--right now, it's hard to find the 3 versions that we are working on, and to respond to them. They are completely buried in the midst of Tabib's diversions.-- TigranTheGreat 01:13, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
Hi Francis. Could u please take a look in this article? Sections have been removed and tags added during the past 24 hours, without logical explanation. i cannot revert again, cause i don't wanna break the rule:p -- Hectorian 01:26, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi Francis. I would like to draw your attention to what’s going on with the History of Nagorno-Karabakh article. Eupator and Tigran persistently remove the reference added by me ( Circular by colonel D. I. Shuttleworth of the British Command). I believe this is a deliberate attempt to suppress information that does not suit a certain POV. I don’t think it is OK by the rules to remove legitimate references, even if someone does not like them. I got blocked despite never breaking the 3RR rule, but I think the measures should be taken to prevent the references being removed from the article without any valid explanation. There will be no reason for edit wars then.
Also, the tags are being removed from the Sumgait Massacre article, despite the fact that the same Shahmuratian is used as a primary reference, and in addition to him a well-known pro-Armenian source Caroline Cox is being used too. Despite that, certain users claim that the article is neutral. I know you must be really tired of all these disputes, but would you mind to have a look at those articles? Thanks in advance. Grandmaster 06:39, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
Too bad I never saw this earlier. I fully responded to GM on the NK History page--it's pretty simple. The article already includes what the primary source document states--that an Azeri governor was appointed. What Tabib tried to add (and GM followed the lead) was to add POV interpretation that somehow this was a de-facto recognition of Azeri ownership, which is not contained in the British circular, and which is disputed by sources. Also, this is the very issue that we are trying to resolve on the NK page--and adding the whole section on the British appointment is like trying to jump the gun on the dispute.
As for Sumgait, Shahmuradyan is only used for the responses and statements of the Armenian side, and he is only one of many sources. This, again, has been extensively explained.-- TigranTheGreat 08:09, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

From Encarta: "Another branch of individualism was found in the United States and was far less radical. The American Benjamin Tucker (1854-1939) believed that maximum individual liberty would be assured where the free market was not hindered or controlled by the State and monopolies. The affairs of society would be governed by myriad voluntary societies and cooperatives, by, as he aptly put it, “un-terrified” Jeffersonian democrats, who believed in the least government possible. Since World War II this tradition has been reborn and modified in the United States as anarcho-capitalism or libertarianism." I think I have provided enough quotes and arguments here and on Template talk:Anarchism, which has gone a bit off-topic there now. If I do not see any coherent argument from you I'm going to change the template. Intangible 17:58, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

One, or perhaps two, people have been vandalizing the Beverly Hills High School article, and using personal insults against me and others.
Some of his usernames are: CH1; The MAN; Will Beback is a Nigger Faggot; AssMan2005; Skoda's Shlong; JAveline; and many others!
Some of these users have been disciplined or blocked indefinately, but he just keeps signing on with a new username!
Some of the IP addresses he uses are: 68.46.74.45; 69.234.96.87; 69.234.138.173; 69.234.121.172; amongst others. According to http://whois.domaintools.com;
Some of these IP address are traceable to:
United States - California - Los Angeles - Rback26c.irvnca Reverse DNS: adsl-69-234-138-173.dsl.irvnca.pacbell.net
and the rest are traceable to:
United States - New Jersey - Brigantine - Comcast Cable Communications Inc Reverse DNS: c-68-46-74-45.hsd1.pa.comcast.net
A few of these IP addresses have been blacklisted, for whatever reason!
If you look at the history page of Beverly Hills High School you will see that this article is plagued with personal insults in the history page (and elseware) and vandalism. Sometimes the vandalism is a bigotted or racist remark, sometimes it is pornography. Many antivandal bots and human users have reverted these vandalisms over and over again. He has vandalized many other articles as well!
But he is clearly using dynamic IP addresses. There MUST be something wikipedia can do to block this guy indefinately!
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi Francis. Any chance that you're conversant in QIF syntax? I recently converted the Template:Infobox Union over from the old "hiddenStructure" style, but I seemed to have a small problem.

While I have not checked the edit history, this strongly resembles a continuation of the Macedonia dispute. Nineteenth and early twentieth century maps (the 1911 Britannica, for example) routinely divide Turkey-in-Europe into Macedonia, Thrace, Albania, and Epirus (and other regions while the Turks held them). None of these are the Ottoman administrative districts, which were much smaller. Septentrionalis 23:54, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

The term "Old Macedonian" for Old Church Slavonic is mentioned in the major English-language handbooks for OCS, such as those by Lunt, Nandris, and Schmalstieg. Since Cyril and Methodius were from Thessaloniki in Greek Macedonia over a thousand years ago, the language they spoke was an old, Macedonian Slavonic language. Please do not remove sourced material.

Hi Fran, could you perhaps check out User talk:Aldux#88.218.47.184 and give us your opinion? There's apparently a need for some centralised dispute resolution process over the issue of the inclusion of Greek/Turkish foreign placenames, both in Greek geographical articles like Kalymnos and Chios, and Turkish ones like Izmir and Trabzon. As you are experienced in setting up things like that (strawpolls and all), your input would be appreciated. In addition, there's the suggestion that Mywayyy ought to be allowed back to participate in such a process. You'll see on Aldux' page that he has promised to behave, and I had previously promised I would advocate a lifting of his block to offer him a chance of return in such a case. Maybe Aldux and you could arrange for an unblocking under some suitable conditions? Thanks, Fut.Perf. ☼ 11:35, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
I do not understand why the Turkish appelations (or rather Greek name that are Turkified) should be included, even as co-equivalent in the opening line, unless there are key historical reasons (in which case the name goes to the historical section). In 'real life' the only place where the Turkified names are included are on some Turkish maps and can be seen as irridentist, but not on maps like that by the Turkish Ministry of Defence. To inlude them can be interpreted as unhelpful in our objectives as wikipedia informers. I stand by the same argument for the Turkish mainland placenames that originally had quite distinct Greek placenames. By historical reasons I mean places like Alexandroupoli, Adana, Izmir... Therefor the most agreeable thing would be to edit out the alternative appelation and included, if strictly necessary, in the historical section. Just for the record, if anyone disagrees, I would be interested in their arguments, which, hopefully, will make extensive references to existing works of scholarship, map making standards and general media representation.

Hi Francis. Would you mind to have a look at Syunik (Zangezur) when you come back? Tigran persistently removes Azerbaijani spelling from that article, while insisting that the Armenian transliteration should be included in Nakhichevan. I know there’s a similar dispute here: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Greek and Turkish named places), but we need to resolve a dispute with regard to Azeri and Armenian names. If it is OK to include Armenian names to Azerbaijani locations, why it is not OK to do the other way around? Your opinion would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Grandmaster 08:34, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
Francis, I was actually going to write to you about this. As one can clearly see from the history of the article, I wasn't the one who first removed the Azeri spelling-- User:Clevelander did, and rightly so: Syunik has never been part of Azerbaijan, has no Azeri population, and has never been an Azeri autonomy. As clearly seen from Grandmaster's edit summaries ("Why is this different from NAR? The rules don't say that other language spelling should be provided for automomies only." [108] and "Rules don't say that Nakhichevan should have Armenian name either. Leave it alone." [109] (!) ), he is clearly trying to make a point in retaliation to the Nakhichevan page, which is unacceptable and is a gross violation of the rules. I ask for your intervetion to stop this if he decides to pursue this.-- TigranTheGreat 10:19, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
I am not going to debate the substantive merits of your arguments, which are clearly inaccurate. Trying to impose a "larger policy" on an article (under the cloak of "larger dispute") by adding something to one article, just because it appears on another article (clearly to your dissatisfaction) is the very definition of making a WP:POINT. You clearly realized this, which is why you tried to PREEMPTIVELY complain to an administrator before even discussing your changes. -- TigranTheGreat 04:06, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

It's hard to say. I think the problems are (1) I don't think a literal translation makes sense and (2) there is a lot of regional variation in Spanish for a phrase like that.
I think que se joda la frontera is the most direct translation.
a la mierda con la frontera makes a lot of sense to me too. It's kind of like saying, "the hell with the border". But not polite.

Hey Francis, glad to see you back from your vacation. I have a question regarding the Sumgait Massacre which directly relates to your knowledge on drugs and my aforementioned tidbit on the existence of it being present during the attacks. While not being given to the rioters per se, one Armenian couple reported that their three year old son was drugged by the mob. In the book that I used, it lists a medical report written by Azerbaijani doctors in the capital of Baku who treated and saved the boy's life. I was hoping you would be able to identify the drug and give me your opinion on it:
It may sound vague but perhaps you might be able to deduce what sort of classification of drugs belong to such symptoms. I'd appreciate it, thanks. -- MarshallBagramyan 05:56, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi Fran, if you find some time, could you give a look at the edits made by a brand new, if promising, Bulgarian editor at the article? The editor has already started radical changes at this and other article; as a very new editor, who uses almost exclusively Slavic sources, Ihave difficulties giving an exact judgement of his work; and also, Macedonian linguistics has never been a field I knew much, while you're an expert. Ciao,-- Aldux 22:56, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
Hey Francis, I'm quite new arround here, but anyway, I'd like to know that you have my support for defending (one of) my native language(s)! I know great deal about linguistics (especialy slavic) and if you have any question fell free to ask me, I'd very much like to answer it! PS: do not lose your temper with the Bulgarians, they are as stubborn as we Macedonians are ;-)!

It's not WP:V. It's Wikipedia:Attack page (regarding the page that you deleted about Serbian expansionism). While you're interested in the Macedonian question - take a look at The Serbs and the Macedonian Question. It's Serbian POV - but the best comprehensive research on the Macedonian Question (by now), and it's as far NPOV as a pro-Serb opinion can get (pro-Serb orientated - but no claims over the Macedonian people's ethnic origin; AFAIC, it goes deep within its controversies with the Greeks and Bulgarians). -- HolyRomanEmperor 11:57, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Too fast move, Francis. Are you sure you've done the right thing? Deleting the article "Serbian expansionist wars in 1990's"? What was wrong with it? Kubura 00:05, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
I did put parts of the text from "Yugoslav wars" into that article, because it needed some content, for the beginning.
Still, I was planning to add more material to the article (matter is large); War in Slovenia (Ten day war), Croatian War of Independence, Bosnian War, Kosovo war themselves alone do not explain the whole picture. Still, the "Yugoslav wars" article (that name isn't good, where is now "no original research" policy?), deals with war on the area of former Yugoslavia, but all these wars weren't the Serbian expansionist wars.
Or, if you want it that way, than there were also Yugoslav wars in 1940's, as part of WW2.
Certain user, known for its greterserbianism, complained about "anti-Serb POV" content on the talk page of the speedily deleted article. What did he wanted to say? That abovementioned wars weren't expansionist wars, and that Serbia hasn't started all these wars?
And you're listening to complaints of such user? BTW, that user besides is being criticised from Croatian, Bosniac and Albanian (Kosovar) users. It's not unusual if he used greaterserbianist sites as reference. You neglect that fact and you react to his complaints and obey to his wishes?
Speedy deletion? And you've bought it?

Francis, my apologees for using your talk page as a responce (will try to evade it in future!!!). Best regards. -- HolyRomanEmperor 13:47, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
Francis, here's the material from the English House of Commons from November 1992 [110], where it has been said "...A third, Serbia, has rightly been refused recognition because of its naked aggression against others...". (and English diplomacy's been known for its pro-Serb attitudes!). If somebody doubts now about the fact that Serbia's wars in 1990's were expansionistic, let him read that line. Now you have the source. More will come, if you require. Sincerely, Kubura 22:04, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
A Conservative politician? What does that mean? That that is the opinion of a member of some extremist party that wins 2.3% at elections?
What was the opinion of Margaret Thatcher, Francis? Do you know who Maggie Thatcher is? "Some conservative politician"? How did she defined Serbian aggression on Croatia and BiH? And what she proposed as solution? Do you remember? Or you were still in kindergarten then?
I leave Macedonian matters to my Macedonian friends, I have enough work with Croatian matters.

Could you please explain to me the difference between "Tajik grammar" (whatever that may be) and normal Persian grammar, as being used in Iran and Afghanistan?!
You have simply copied certain words from a certain source. Yet, I guess you do not know that what you have written is exactly the same as in Persian proper.
The only difference is that you simply "translated" the cyrillic letters into latin letters, instead of using the normal latinized transliteration of perso-arabic script.
"Tajiki cyrillic transliteration" --> kitobho latinized transliteration of Perso-Arabic --> kitābhā
"Tajik grammar" --> man kitob-ro mekhonam (I read the book) Persian proper --> man kitāb-rā mikhānam
There is absolutely no difference ... the only differences may be certain pronounciations, which is very normal in every language (American pronounciation is sometimes totally different from Australian or Brittish pronounciations).

Re, Re: Macedonia (terminology), I am thinking of adding some evidence of unofficial encouragement by the state. Namely schoolbooks, ( prev. discussion here links from books here and here), and about governmental publications ( prev. discussion here). I am thinking of smthng in addition to this paragraph of the article:
“ | Extremist ethnic Macedonian nationalists of the " United Macedonia" movement have expressed irredentist claims to what they refer to as " Aegean Macedonia" (in Greece), [1], [2], [3] " Pirin Macedonia" (in Bulgaria), [4] " Mala Prespa and Golo Bardo" (in Albania), [5] and " Gora and Prohor Pchinski" (in Serbia). [6] Greek Macedonians, Bulgarians, Albanians and Serbs form the overwhelming majority of the population of each part of the region respectively. These fringe groups have received no official encouragement from the government of the Republic of Macedonia, especially since 1995 when a constitutional amendment was added stating that there were no territorial claims on neighbouring countries. | ” |
...that could continue like:
“ | There are, however, indications of indirect encouragement through the promotion of the idea that the republic is the only liberated part of the broader region, in schoolbooks [1], [2] and governmental publications.[3], [4] | ” |
I'm not going bold before I discuss it. I'd hate to start (another) edit-war, so I am not posting it directly, but this sentence is sourced. Your opinion is of value. •NikoSilver• 20:52, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
You're right, it sounds quite OR'y. You could say something like:
Schoolbooks and government publications in the Republic show the country as part of an unliberated whole. [1][2][3][4]
If of course the sources back that up. - FrancisTyers · 12:18, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
I try to be polite, yet subtle when posting on debated talk pages, but if I wasn't very clear in my post on Talk:Tajik grammar concerning my position, it is that I'm fine with having two separate articles, and not fine with having an authoritative, I-know-what-I'm-talking-about-and-you-don't attitude (which you don't have :-) . – jonsafari 01:18, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi Francis, could you take a look at the above page. Ultramarine has reinstated the material you removed on that page referring to a US report. I just find that the US material reads like a propaganda piece, is of little worth, is unreliable, obtrusive and detracts from the page. The US report was constructed for such a purpose a few years ago, Ultramarine believes very strongly in its inclusion and has been adding it around various pages for many months, but I believe it is a disruptive element and throws these pages totally off balance. I can't imagine how far an editor would get if they sprayed the US articles with criticisms by the Cuban government.-- Zleitzen 14:50, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
The previous example was misleading. That "ro" doesn't mean "this" (it doesn't have any equivalent in English). The current example is fine (in terms of explaining the purpose of the '-ro'). If you want to use the previous Persian/Tajiki sentence, "kitob-ro khondam" means "I read the book" (not "this book"). In general, in a Persian/Tajiki sentence, "kitab" (without any determiner) means "the book" and "yak kitob" (or "kitobe") means "a book". Jahangard 19:54, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for checking out some of my old projects. I wrote up a fairly small machine-readable lexicon (~1300 words) for an undergraduate research grant related to a Persian morphology engine (Persian-PCKimmo), then decided to whip up a searchable and addable website frontend to it. It's all under a Free software license. I'm no lexicographer, as you can tell in the lexicon itself, and I haven't touched it lately. If you want to do anything to the lexicon, and/or the website frontend, by all means. Also, a native speaker living in Finland wrote a larger lexicon (also machine-readable), and he personally told me I'm free to incorporate it into my lexicon under a Free-software license, so that's also something worth checking out (website: [111], lexicon: [112]). I wouldn't mind working on it some more if there was some interest from other people, hint, hint. But if not, that's fine too.– jonsafari 03:55, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
Francis, you said if I ever needed your help, to give you a shout. I need your help: my Floyd Abrams articles have been nominated for deletion. I explain the point behind them on the deletion page, but if you think this is important information I could sure use someone backing me up. I have spent so many countless hours working on it, that if it's deleted I'll have to taken an extended vacation from contributing, because I think it is very important. I'm all for deleting useless and vanity-fuelled articles, but this man is living history, and I took it upon myself to do this (after I read the book he gave me when I went to take his photograph for Wikipedia). I am writing a grant-proposal around the project; if it's deleted, well, that would hurt me a lot. Part of the problem is that we sometimes have on WP people who do not know about the subject matter making decisions about it. Hence, the first comment on the deletion page, "Floyd Abrams seems sufficiently notable." To anyone who knows anything about Free Speech, that would be an incredible thing to say. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Floyd_Abrams_and_the_Pentagon_Papers_case -- DavidShankBone 03:29, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi Francis. I did a little work today on the WikiProject Organized Labour/Internationalisation page. I hope it’s something like what you had talked about. I’ve been thinking about how to do this and I wanted to run an idea past you.
I really like the “article summary” thing, and if there was support for it, I was thinking that it could actually be a sub-page (i.e. Trade unions/summary) that was transcluded into the main page. That way it would be really easy to access when it came time to translate pages. I would set up a page that kept track of which pages had summaries, and which languages it had been translated into (which could also be sub-pages ( Trade unions/summary/Tajik) if that would help).
What do you think? I’m not sure about the sub-pages of sub-pages, that might be more complicated than needed, but I think the Trade unions/summary has potential.-- Bookandcoffee 01:57, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Ouch, that was a close call. Even I had no idea that version pre-existed. I was asleep when all of that happened. Now why on earth did FF and you have to bring all this to that point? I guess we have to be really carefull with all previous versions when we engage in this sort of s***.

Francis, we have a problem which we can't solve on Transnistria. It is a play-by-play copy of the exact same problem which we had there 6 months ago, and it involves the same main character. You were the only one who helped us solve us, and since then, we had peace for 6 months. See your action here [ [116]]. I tried to do the exact same thing [117], and explain why, but since I am a party to the conflict it was not seen as a constructive edit but was immediately reverted just minutes later; quite predictably. I am therefore asking you to please come back and do a repeat of your 11 March masterstroke. I fear that this is the only way we can bring consensus, just as before, because the same person is involved with the exact same modus operandi. - Mauco 23:53, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi Francis, I have been around for just over a year. We have only met a few times, so I canot really say I know you well. In any case, I would like to ask you to reconsider your position. If you are thinking that you may have got drawned into edit wars or got far too involved on an issue, why do not you try leaving it aside for a while instead asking to be de-sysoped? Personally I think it makes more sense and you can prove yourself you are level-headed. I believe that wikipedia will still benefit from your presence either as an admin or a normal editor but I do not think there is a reason for wanting to stop being an admin.

Francis, i'm losing my patience with the way things are going in Pontian article. Every source we provide is criticsed in any way possible i.e. "non-explicit", using a book review of Midlarsky to say he is "genocide tolerant"!, asking for Mazower to be removed, saying Levene "is ours" etc. This article will get nowhere. Are they even going to attempt to explain how these events unfolded? No because they cant. There simply is not enough research for them to build a credible article from, so the whole article has degenerated into a "this author says genocide, this author dosnt say genocide but maybe means it, and this country says genocide" etc etc Ok, but is anyone going to explain how, who, where and what on earth happened to these Pontians, or are we going to shout genocide all day...
Some of the same editors have gone over to the Pan-Turkism article, and asked that i provide sources that Turkish Cypriots can understand Turks from Turkey! What kind of task is this? I told them i am Turkish Cypriot, and i understand, they basically said i have to get a source to prove i understand! Its becoming a farce, it seems no one is interested in creating an article, only in making a nationalist point. I'd appreciate if you could keep an eye on the article, at least both sides of the dispute agree we can only really solve this with a third party around.

Hi Francis, I've reached the point where I just can't deal with editor Ultramarine - without blowing a gasket. I have dealt with this editor on a number of other pages leaving what were formerly decent pages now unsatisfactory, unclear, poorly presented and usually with a POV tag on the top. The editor can only seemingly edit through one narrow point of view, provides minimal communication when making large scale edits, has a completely one-sided view of the editing process (will question a source he/she doesn't like to it's minutae whilst willfully adding unsourced original research elsewhere [120]), refuses to abide by referencing formats, and seems unable to get a perspective on how to actually present information. Thing is, I'm not going anywhere, and will still be editing on wikipedia and that page for the foreseeable future. But I quite simply cannot communicate with this editor. Either I'm wrong on this - and I've been accused of bias from both sides of the Cuban debate whilst making my 2000+ edits on Cuban subjects see here and here - or Ultramarine is wrong. Reading this rfc and this arbitration where I see a familiar pattern - I think it is Ultramarine's approach that is wrong. To avoid things turning nasty, I could badly do with some external input into the page. Because judging by Ultramarine's previous form and lack of communication - a drip-drip edit war could go on for a long time.-- Zleitzen 02:00, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for returning to the Healthcare article. Eventually some rational editing should surface - I really need to get other editors involved - and the article can be reduced back to the key concise points and properly presented without this bloated rubbish. I'd also be grateful if you could take a look at an article I've been writing practically alone : British African-Caribbean community and give me any thoughts or tips. The fact that I have had to write it almost alone for months says something about the demographics of wikipedia - such an important subject is almost ignored. I have a couple more paragraphs to write and I could really do with some pictures but it'd be good to get this to featured article status for many positive reasons. -- Zleitzen 09:34, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

BTW, if by the time you're reading this, my user page still hasn't been deleted, could you do it? Thanks :) -- infinity 0 00:24, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Hello Francis,
I hope everything you're ok. I was checking your qualifications and what's interesting is that from software engineering you have jump to a different subject, linguistics, to do your master's. My question is—can you do such jump from a science or engineering barchelor to a humanities master's—I hope it's not too personal. take care. Ozgur Gerilla 01:06, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
Hello again,
Thank you very much for the information. I am interested in history, literature and language so it has to be one of those. I've did a little research and found MA in Turkish (combination of literature and language) in SOAS — spoke to the teacher and she said when you finish your barchelor come and see me. But I'm not sure if I would like to do Turkish for my master's. I got some time to decide the course but I'm sure I want to move from engineering/science to humanities. So how is your studies going? do you find linguistics interesting? Ozgur Gerilla 10:05, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Occupation of Izmir. Users disputing the title, saying its not occupation, saying you cant occupy your 'own'. Saying cant prove Izmir was the Ottomans Empire etc etc. I've told them clear Francis, if they cant provide any sane reason, then i will remove the tag in two days.

Hi, Francis.
As you know the Soviet-PD tag is deleted on Commons and En-wiki and the images tagged by this license are about to be deleted very soon. I was trying to reupload a few of your Antarctic images on en-wiki using fairuse licenses but the image people are asking where the images came from and I do not know what to answer.

I have communicated with The Ungovernable Force regarding the proposed anthropology project which you indicated an interest in, and have gotten the OK from him to move the project into wiki-space and make it active. He indicated that he is busy in school right now, but will be as active as he can be given that. The project page as it now exists is only a minimum page, and could use the input of interested parties such as yourself. Personally, I did noticably poorly in the one cultural anthropology class I took in college, so I'm bowing out of this one, but wish you and the other members of the project the best of luck with it.

hey Francis :) Sorry, I misunderstood the purpose of the flags, I thought that we were showing all of the country flags that existed after the war, and not just after 1992.

Do not remove the term "Old Macedonian" from Old Church Slavonic. The term is used in the major English-language handbooks (Lunt, Schmalstieg, Nandris, IIRC Gardiner too), since Sts. Cyril and Methodius were from (Greek) Macedonia and OCS is based on the vernacular of Thessalonica. The term and the scholars who use it (in some cases preceding 1945) are unconnected to contemporary polemic about the Republic of Macedonia. CRCulver
Hi Francis, can do with your help on the Ataturk page please. User wants to create a section insinuating Ataturk was responsible for genocide of Armenians and Pontians. Thanks, -- A.Garnet 20:46, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
I am against merging of the two articles because they speak about two very different events. While goal of Axis occupation troops was simply to eliminate population of "wrong ethnic origin", the goal of partisans was to eliminate population of "wrong political affiliation". Although, one of the events was indeed consequence of another, it is best that both of them have their own separate articles. Also, the "Occupation of Vojvodina" article have see also section where is a link to "1944-1945 Killings in Bačka" article, so anybody could go there to read that article too. Problem is that killings in 1944-1945 are not the only consequence of the 1941-1944 occupation, thus any possible new section of the article speaking about consequences should mention all consequences, not only those killings in Bačka.

Hi, Francis. I have a dispute with Mauco at Transnistria talk page and I know you are one of the persons Mauco asked you previously to mediate disputes on this subject. The subject of the dispute is that Transnistrian authorities closed the Rîbniţa office of Transnistrian Communist Party. I want to include this fact in the article, as I consider it a proof for the lack of democracy in Transnistria, and Mauco disagree. Please look at this and share your thoughts.-- MariusM 10:35, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi Francis, could you take a look at the shenanigans I have uncovered on List of acts labelled as state terrorism sorted by state - and elsewhere in the State terrorism area. Whilst removing a section of original research relating to Cuba some time ago, I noticed that 95% of the page carried original research. Having cut the material down to the sourced bone, still quite generously in my view, every time I turn my back, it creeps back. User:RaveenS has been very active on the subject of state terrorism throughout wikipedia, being involved in numerous templates, pages and categories - which have been rightly challenged by others who have also noticed this liberal use of WP:NOR and WP:V. Incidentally, RaveenS is supported by various anon accounts who share the same view and editing pattern. -- Zleitzen 16:57, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
Francis, given your language experience, I was hoping you would know - or would know someone who knows - about the changes just made to Coprolalia ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). I need for someone to check on the Greek translations that were just inserted there: I have no idea if the info is anon IP vandalism or correct. Do you know of someone who can check?

Hello, I am a member of a research group at Palo Alto Research Center (formerly known as Xerox PARC) studying how conflicts occur and resolve on Wikipedia. Due to your experience in conflict resolution on Wikipedia (e.g., as a member of the Mediation Cabal) we’re extremely interested in your insights on this topic. We have a survey at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=400792384029 which we are inviting a few selected Wikipedians to participate in, and we would be extremely appreciative if you would take the time to complete it. As a token of our gratitude, we would like to present you with a PARC research star upon completion. Thank you for your time.

No problem (about ignoring Tabib) :). I think its best though to delete his unhelpful comments altogether (just as you have done with Fadix)--you clearly see that he is poisoning the mediation process with his accusations and attacks. And by keeping reverting you on the talk page. You don't need to allow him to do it--I urge you to stick to your decision and move his comments up--right now, it's hard to find the 3 versions that we are working on, and to respond to them. They are completely buried in the midst of Tabib's diversions.-- TigranTheGreat 01:13, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
Hi Francis. Could u please take a look in this article? Sections have been removed and tags added during the past 24 hours, without logical explanation. i cannot revert again, cause i don't wanna break the rule:p -- Hectorian 01:26, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi Francis. I would like to draw your attention to what’s going on with the History of Nagorno-Karabakh article. Eupator and Tigran persistently remove the reference added by me ( Circular by colonel D. I. Shuttleworth of the British Command). I believe this is a deliberate attempt to suppress information that does not suit a certain POV. I don’t think it is OK by the rules to remove legitimate references, even if someone does not like them. I got blocked despite never breaking the 3RR rule, but I think the measures should be taken to prevent the references being removed from the article without any valid explanation. There will be no reason for edit wars then.
Also, the tags are being removed from the Sumgait Massacre article, despite the fact that the same Shahmuratian is used as a primary reference, and in addition to him a well-known pro-Armenian source Caroline Cox is being used too. Despite that, certain users claim that the article is neutral. I know you must be really tired of all these disputes, but would you mind to have a look at those articles? Thanks in advance. Grandmaster 06:39, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
Too bad I never saw this earlier. I fully responded to GM on the NK History page--it's pretty simple. The article already includes what the primary source document states--that an Azeri governor was appointed. What Tabib tried to add (and GM followed the lead) was to add POV interpretation that somehow this was a de-facto recognition of Azeri ownership, which is not contained in the British circular, and which is disputed by sources. Also, this is the very issue that we are trying to resolve on the NK page--and adding the whole section on the British appointment is like trying to jump the gun on the dispute.
As for Sumgait, Shahmuradyan is only used for the responses and statements of the Armenian side, and he is only one of many sources. This, again, has been extensively explained.-- TigranTheGreat 08:09, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
Ok, I finally started a rough outline of what I'm going to add to Anarchism in the United States like I said I would. It's currently quite bad, but here is the link. Tell others about it. The Ungovernable Force 07:45, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
From Encarta: "Another branch of individualism was found in the United States and was far less radical. The American Benjamin Tucker (1854-1939) believed that maximum individual liberty would be assured where the free market was not hindered or controlled by the State and monopolies. The affairs of society would be governed by myriad voluntary societies and cooperatives, by, as he aptly put it, “un-terrified” Jeffersonian democrats, who believed in the least government possible. Since World War II this tradition has been reborn and modified in the United States as anarcho-capitalism or libertarianism." I think I have provided enough quotes and arguments here and on Template talk:Anarchism, which has gone a bit off-topic there now. If I do not see any coherent argument from you I'm going to change the template. Intangible 17:58, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

One, or perhaps two, people have been vandalizing the Beverly Hills High School article, and using personal insults against me and others.
Some of his usernames are: CH1; The MAN; Will Beback is a Nigger Faggot; AssMan2005; Skoda's Shlong; JAveline; and many others!
Some of these users have been disciplined or blocked indefinately, but he just keeps signing on with a new username!
Some of the IP addresses he uses are: 68.46.74.45; 69.234.96.87; 69.234.138.173; 69.234.121.172; amongst others. According to http://whois.domaintools.com;
Some of these IP address are traceable to:
United States - California - Los Angeles - Rback26c.irvnca Reverse DNS: adsl-69-234-138-173.dsl.irvnca.pacbell.net
and the rest are traceable to:
United States - New Jersey - Brigantine - Comcast Cable Communications Inc Reverse DNS: c-68-46-74-45.hsd1.pa.comcast.net
A few of these IP addresses have been blacklisted, for whatever reason!
If you look at the history page of Beverly Hills High School you will see that this article is plagued with personal insults in the history page (and elseware) and vandalism. Sometimes the vandalism is a bigotted or racist remark, sometimes it is pornography. Many antivandal bots and human users have reverted these vandalisms over and over again. He has vandalized many other articles as well!
But he is clearly using dynamic IP addresses. There MUST be something wikipedia can do to block this guy indefinately!
Thanks in advance for your help!

While I have not checked the edit history, this strongly resembles a continuation of the Macedonia dispute. Nineteenth and early twentieth century maps (the 1911 Britannica, for example) routinely divide Turkey-in-Europe into Macedonia, Thrace, Albania, and Epirus (and other regions while the Turks held them). None of these are the Ottoman administrative districts, which were much smaller. Septentrionalis 23:54, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

The term "Old Macedonian" for Old Church Slavonic is mentioned in the major English-language handbooks for OCS, such as those by Lunt, Nandris, and Schmalstieg. Since Cyril and Methodius were from Thessaloniki in Greek Macedonia over a thousand years ago, the language they spoke was an old, Macedonian Slavonic language. Please do not remove sourced material. CRCulver 19:07, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
I should mention that this term has nothing to do with the modern Republic of Macedonia and its language, and in fact the term in English-language scholarship predates 1945. CRCulver 19:07, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Francis, I do agree that the quality of the section could be improved with the rewording of some of the sentences.

Hi Fran, could you perhaps check out User talk:Aldux#88.218.47.184 and give us your opinion? There's apparently a need for some centralised dispute resolution process over the issue of the inclusion of Greek/Turkish foreign placenames, both in Greek geographical articles like Kalymnos and Chios, and Turkish ones like Izmir and Trabzon. As you are experienced in setting up things like that (strawpolls and all), your input would be appreciated. In addition, there's the suggestion that Mywayyy ought to be allowed back to participate in such a process. You'll see on Aldux' page that he has promised to behave, and I had previously promised I would advocate a lifting of his block to offer him a chance of return in such a case. Maybe Aldux and you could arrange for an unblocking under some suitable conditions? Thanks, Fut.Perf. ☼ 11:35, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
I do not understand why the Turkish appelations (or rather Greek name that are Turkified) should be included, even as co-equivalent in the opening line, unless there are key historical reasons (in which case the name goes to the historical section). In 'real life' the only place where the Turkified names are included are on some Turkish maps and can be seen as irridentist, but not on maps like that by the Turkish Ministry of Defence. To inlude them can be interpreted as unhelpful in our objectives as wikipedia informers. I stand by the same argument for the Turkish mainland placenames that originally had quite distinct Greek placenames. By historical reasons I mean places like Alexandroupoli, Adana, Izmir... Therefor the most agreeable thing would be to edit out the alternative appelation and included, if strictly necessary, in the historical section. Just for the record, if anyone disagrees, I would be interested in their arguments, which, hopefully, will make extensive references to existing works of scholarship, map making standards and general media representation.

There has been some pov editing there recently. I haven't read anything from Jensen yet though, so I've been pretty wary of editing it since I don't know enough about what he has said and what emphasis he places on some of the various topics discussed on the page. An anon claiming to be Jensen has left two messages on the talk page (and I think it's actually him, but I could be wrong). If you have read his stuff, could you try and check the page, the recent versions of it and the talk and try to see if it's npov or not? Thanks. The Ungovernable Force 20:25, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

I think the photo looks great; I was planning on doing it myself. I'll make sure there is no trace of me in photos--I thought in that photo I wasn't particularly clear, and unfortunately in a late-night stupor I put my photography credit in the captions. This was before I knew Wikipedia's policy (and I agree with it). There are still some out there, I think. Thank you for the message. Could you give me feedback when you have a moment on the first article I created Tompkins Square Park Police Riot. I want to make sure I don't repeat any mistakes in future planned articles Second Avenue Marble Cemetary and St. Brigid's a 103-year-old historic church that allowed protesters to organize in Tompkins Square Park during the riot, which is now being demolished to make way for condos.

Hi Francis. Would you mind to have a look at Syunik (Zangezur) when you come back? Tigran persistently removes Azerbaijani spelling from that article, while insisting that the Armenian transliteration should be included in Nakhichevan. I know there’s a similar dispute here: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Greek and Turkish named places), but we need to resolve a dispute with regard to Azeri and Armenian names. If it is OK to include Armenian names to Azerbaijani locations, why it is not OK to do the other way around? Your opinion would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Grandmaster 08:34, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
Francis, I was actually going to write to you about this. As one can clearly see from the history of the article, I wasn't the one who first removed the Azeri spelling-- User:Clevelander did, and rightly so: Syunik has never been part of Azerbaijan, has no Azeri population, and has never been an Azeri autonomy. As clearly seen from Grandmaster's edit summaries ("Why is this different from NAR? The rules don't say that other language spelling should be provided for automomies only." [108] and "Rules don't say that Nakhichevan should have Armenian name either. Leave it alone." [109] (!) ), he is clearly trying to make a point in retaliation to the Nakhichevan page, which is unacceptable and is a gross violation of the rules. I ask for your intervetion to stop this if he decides to pursue this.-- TigranTheGreat 10:19, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
I am not going to debate the substantive merits of your arguments, which are clearly inaccurate. Trying to impose a "larger policy" on an article (under the cloak of "larger dispute") by adding something to one article, just because it appears on another article (clearly to your dissatisfaction) is the very definition of making a WP:POINT. You clearly realized this, which is why you tried to PREEMPTIVELY complain to an administrator before even discussing your changes. -- TigranTheGreat 04:06, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

It's hard to say. I think the problems are (1) I don't think a literal translation makes sense and (2) there is a lot of regional variation in Spanish for a phrase like that.
I think que se joda la frontera is the most direct translation.
a la mierda con la frontera makes a lot of sense to me too. It's kind of like saying, "the hell with the border". But not polite.

Hey Francis, glad to see you back from your vacation. I have a question regarding the Sumgait Massacre which directly relates to your knowledge on drugs and my aforementioned tidbit on the existence of it being present during the attacks. While not being given to the rioters per se, one Armenian couple reported that their three year old son was drugged by the mob. In the book that I used, it lists a medical report written by Azerbaijani doctors in the capital of Baku who treated and saved the boy's life. I was hoping you would be able to identify the drug and give me your opinion on it:
It may sound vague but perhaps you might be able to deduce what sort of classification of drugs belong to such symptoms. I'd appreciate it, thanks. -- MarshallBagramyan 05:56, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Too fast move, Francis. Are you sure you've done the right thing? Deleting the article "Serbian expansionist wars in 1990's"? What was wrong with it? Kubura 00:05, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
I did put parts of the text from "Yugoslav wars" into that article, because it needed some content, for the beginning.
Still, I was planning to add more material to the article (matter is large); War in Slovenia (Ten day war), Croatian War of Independence, Bosnian War, Kosovo war themselves alone do not explain the whole picture. Still, the "Yugoslav wars" article (that name isn't good, where is now "no original research" policy?), deals with war on the area of former Yugoslavia, but all these wars weren't the Serbian expansionist wars.
Or, if you want it that way, than there were also Yugoslav wars in 1940's, as part of WW2.
Certain user, known for its greterserbianism, complained about "anti-Serb POV" content on the talk page of the speedily deleted article. What did he wanted to say? That abovementioned wars weren't expansionist wars, and that Serbia hasn't started all these wars?
And you're listening to complaints of such user? BTW, that user besides is being criticised from Croatian, Bosniac and Albanian (Kosovar) users. It's not unusual if he used greaterserbianist sites as reference. You neglect that fact and you react to his complaints and obey to his wishes?
Speedy deletion? And you've bought it?

Francis, here's the material from the English House of Commons from November 1992 [110], where it has been said "...A third, Serbia, has rightly been refused recognition because of its naked aggression against others...". (and English diplomacy's been known for its pro-Serb attitudes!). If somebody doubts now about the fact that Serbia's wars in 1990's were expansionistic, let him read that line. Now you have the source. More will come, if you require. Sincerely, Kubura 22:04, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
A Conservative politician? What does that mean? That that is the opinion of a member of some extremist party that wins 2.3% at elections?
What was the opinion of Margaret Thatcher, Francis? Do you know who Maggie Thatcher is? "Some conservative politician"? How did she defined Serbian aggression on Croatia and BiH? And what she proposed as solution? Do you remember? Or you were still in kindergarten then?

Could you please explain to me the difference between "Tajik grammar" (whatever that may be) and normal Persian grammar, as being used in Iran and Afghanistan?!
You have simply copied certain words from a certain source. Yet, I guess you do not know that what you have written is exactly the same as in Persian proper.
The only difference is that you simply "translated" the cyrillic letters into latin letters, instead of using the normal latinized transliteration of perso-arabic script.
"Tajiki cyrillic transliteration" --> kitobho latinized transliteration of Perso-Arabic --> kitābhā
"Tajik grammar" --> man kitob-ro mekhonam (I read the book) Persian proper --> man kitāb-rā mikhānam
There is absolutely no difference ... the only differences may be certain pronounciations, which is very normal in every language (American pronounciation is sometimes totally different from Australian or Brittish pronounciations).

Re, Re: Macedonia (terminology), I am thinking of adding some evidence of unofficial encouragement by the state. Namely schoolbooks, ( prev. discussion here links from books here and here), and about governmental publications ( prev. discussion here). I am thinking of smthng in addition to this paragraph of the article:
“ | Extremist ethnic Macedonian nationalists of the " United Macedonia" movement have expressed irredentist claims to what they refer to as " Aegean Macedonia" (in Greece), [1], [2], [3] " Pirin Macedonia" (in Bulgaria), [4] " Mala Prespa and Golo Bardo" (in Albania), [5] and " Gora and Prohor Pchinski" (in Serbia). [6] Greek Macedonians, Bulgarians, Albanians and Serbs form the overwhelming majority of the population of each part of the region respectively. These fringe groups have received no official encouragement from the government of the Republic of Macedonia, especially since 1995 when a constitutional amendment was added stating that there were no territorial claims on neighbouring countries. | ” |
...that could continue like:
“ | There are, however, indications of indirect encouragement through the promotion of the idea that the republic is the only liberated part of the broader region, in schoolbooks [1], [2] and governmental publications.[3], [4] | ” |
I'm not going bold before I discuss it. I'd hate to start (another) edit-war, so I am not posting it directly, but this sentence is sourced. Your opinion is of value. •NikoSilver• 20:52, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
You're right, it sounds quite OR'y. You could say something like:

Hi Francis, could you take a look at the above page. Ultramarine has reinstated the material you removed on that page referring to a US report. I just find that the US material reads like a propaganda piece, is of little worth, is unreliable, obtrusive and detracts from the page. The US report was constructed for such a purpose a few years ago, Ultramarine believes very strongly in its inclusion and has been adding it around various pages for many months, but I believe it is a disruptive element and throws these pages totally off balance. I can't imagine how far an editor would get if they sprayed the US articles with criticisms by the Cuban government.-- Zleitzen 14:50, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
The previous example was misleading. That "ro" doesn't mean "this" (it doesn't have any equivalent in English). The current example is fine (in terms of explaining the purpose of the '-ro'). If you want to use the previous Persian/Tajiki sentence, "kitob-ro khondam" means "I read the book" (not "this book"). In general, in a Persian/Tajiki sentence, "kitab" (without any determiner) means "the book" and "yak kitob" (or "kitobe") means "a book". Jahangard 19:54, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for checking out some of my old projects. I wrote up a fairly small machine-readable lexicon (~1300 words) for an undergraduate research grant related to a Persian morphology engine (Persian-PCKimmo), then decided to whip up a searchable and addable website frontend to it. It's all under a Free software license. I'm no lexicographer, as you can tell in the lexicon itself, and I haven't touched it lately. If you want to do anything to the lexicon, and/or the website frontend, by all means. Also, a native speaker living in Finland wrote a larger lexicon (also machine-readable), and he personally told me I'm free to incorporate it into my lexicon under a Free-software license, so that's also something worth checking out (website: [111], lexicon: [112]). I wouldn't mind working on it some more if there was some interest from other people, hint, hint. But if not, that's fine too.– jonsafari 03:55, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
Francis, you said if I ever needed your help, to give you a shout. I need your help: my Floyd Abrams articles have been nominated for deletion. I explain the point behind them on the deletion page, but if you think this is important information I could sure use someone backing me up. I have spent so many countless hours working on it, that if it's deleted I'll have to taken an extended vacation from contributing, because I think it is very important. I'm all for deleting useless and vanity-fuelled articles, but this man is living history, and I took it upon myself to do this (after I read the book he gave me when I went to take his photograph for Wikipedia). I am writing a grant-proposal around the project; if it's deleted, well, that would hurt me a lot. Part of the problem is that we sometimes have on WP people who do not know about the subject matter making decisions about it. Hence, the first comment on the deletion page, "Floyd Abrams seems sufficiently notable."

Hi Francis. I did a little work today on the WikiProject Organized Labour/Internationalisation page. I hope it’s something like what you had talked about. I’ve been thinking about how to do this and I wanted to run an idea past you.
I really like the “article summary” thing, and if there was support for it, I was thinking that it could actually be a sub-page (i.e. Trade unions/summary) that was transcluded into the main page. That way it would be really easy to access when it came time to translate pages. I would set up a page that kept track of which pages had summaries, and which languages it had been translated into (which could also be sub-pages ( Trade unions/summary/Tajik) if that would help).
What do you think? I’m not sure about the sub-pages of sub-pages, that might be more complicated than needed, but I think the Trade unions/summary has potential.-- Bookandcoffee 01:57, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

You have been temporarily blocked for violation of the three-revert rule. Please feel free to return after the block expires, but also please make an effort to discuss your changes further in the future. |
Ouch, that was a close call. Even I had no idea that version pre-existed. I was asleep when all of that happened. Now why on earth did FF and you have to bring all this to that point? I guess we have to be really carefull with all previous versions when we engage in this sort of s***. OTOH, I kinda understand FF, as I'm sure that he was aware of that version and had calculated that you'd be unable to revert him after his third one. I hope you and FF will manage to put that behind you. •NikoSilver• 11:44, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

I don't know if it's too early, but I'm sure you'll have to put one of those little machines with the precedence numbers they have in banks and supermarkets for this, so I decided to announce it right now: Despite the fact that we've confronted each other often, I'm re-nominating you in the next few days. Now shut up and don't argue with me on this! :-) •NikoSilver• 20:53, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
Well, you're always free to do what you want, but I really don't think you should do this if your only reason was that 3RR. Everyone overlooks things sometimes, and you are a definitely needed to block wolfstar socks on anarchism. Oh well, do what you want, but I personally would prefer that you not do this. Oh, btw, I talked to Keith McHenry today over the phone, who is one of the original founders of Food Not Bombs and created the logo. It's free for anyone to use, I just need to find out how to confirm it here on wiki, since my word probably isn't good enough. Ungovernable Force Got something to say? 01:40, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for your kind words on my RfA, but I'm not here because of that. Even if I occassionally accused you for WP:POINTitis, you really really went too far this time. Like Niko said, we can keep on renominating you until the things get back to the status quo (fulfilling our part of WP:POINT :-) ). Duja 12:20, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
Francis, revoke the jebeni de-sysop request and get some sleep. Pardon my serbo-croatian. BTW, checkout my userpage if you think the people here are not mad enough to nominate you for adminship once a week. -- Dijxtra 22:12, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
Francis, we have a problem which we can't solve on Transnistria. It is a play-by-play copy of the exact same problem which we had there 6 months ago, and it involves the same main character. You were the only one who helped us solve us, and since then, we had peace for 6 months. See your action here [ [116]]. I tried to do the exact same thing [117], and explain why, but since I am a party to the conflict it was not seen as a constructive edit but was immediately reverted just minutes later; quite predictably. I am therefore asking you to please come back and do a repeat of your 11 March masterstroke. I fear that this is the only way we can bring consensus, just as before, because the same person is involved with the exact same modus operandi. - Mauco 23:53, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

You're an administrator. A 3RR block, even heavier accusations of Macedonism - what has being going on with you lately, Franics??? -- HolyRomanEmperor 18:01, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
Hi Francis, I have been around for just over a year. We have only met a few times, so I canot really say I know you well. In any case, I would like to ask you to reconsider your position. If you are thinking that you may have got drawned into edit wars or got far too involved on an issue, why do not you try leaving it aside for a while instead asking to be de-sysoped? Personally I think it makes more sense and you can prove yourself you are level-headed. I believe that wikipedia will still benefit from your presence either as an admin or a normal editor but I do not think there is a reason for wanting to stop being an admin. You have proved yourself in the past. Well, these are my two pences. Have a nice day, Asterion talk 07:10, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

So the List of trade unions is now updated if you still wanted to use it for your translation list. It also has a number of red-link names in it, I don't know if that affects your plans or not. Just as a thought, would using Infobox Union - what links here provide a cross-reference for which pages have usable info?-- Bookandcoffee 01:53, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
I noted that you indicated interest in joining this project as a proposed project. I thought you'd like to know that it is now active, and is at the page above. Maybe you'd like to sign on there.

Hi, what do you think of the following quotes from the text:
Now I can't access that PDF easily now (it's a large file and I'm on a 44 kbit/sec connection at the moment), so if you want to say something to me, you'll have to quote it. I got the extracts above from the article's talkpage. -- Tzekai 17:07, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
Francis, i'm losing my patience with the way things are going in Pontian article. Every source we provide is criticsed in any way possible i.e. "non-explicit", using a book review of Midlarsky to say he is "genocide tolerant"!, asking for Mazower to be removed, saying Levene "is ours" etc. This article will get nowhere. Are they even going to attempt to explain how these events unfolded? No because they cant. There simply is not enough research for them to build a credible article from, so the whole article has degenerated into a "this author says genocide, this author dosnt say genocide but maybe means it, and this country says genocide" etc etc Ok, but is anyone going to explain how, who, where and what on earth happened to these Pontians, or are we going to shout genocide all day...
Some of the same editors have gone over to the Pan-Turkism article, and asked that i provide sources that Turkish Cypriots can understand Turks from Turkey! What kind of task is this? I told them i am Turkish Cypriot, and i understand, they basically said i have to get a source to prove i understand! Its becoming a farce, it seems no one is interested in creating an article, only in making a nationalist point. I'd appreciate if you could keep an eye on the article, at least both sides of the dispute agree we can only really solve this with a third party around. Thanks, -- A.Garnet 17:43, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi Francis,
I'm trying to work on your comments about the photo but am having trouble eliminating the white glare from the glossy black surface. Would you recomment using sunlight or room light to achieve the effect, and is there anything I can adjust on my digital camera (a Canon Ixus), or post-editing I can do to improve matters? Cheers — SteveRwanda 16:23, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
Hi Francis, I've reached the point where I just can't deal with editor Ultramarine - without blowing a gasket. I have dealt with this editor on a number of other pages leaving what were formerly decent pages now unsatisfactory, unclear, poorly presented and usually with a POV tag on the top. The editor can only seemingly edit through one narrow point of view, provides minimal communication when making large scale edits, has a completely one-sided view of the editing process (will question a source he/she doesn't like to it's minutae whilst willfully adding unsourced original research elsewhere [120]), refuses to abide by referencing formats, and seems unable to get a perspective on how to actually present information. Thing is, I'm not going anywhere, and will still be editing on wikipedia and that page for the foreseeable future. But I quite simply cannot communicate with this editor. Either I'm wrong on this - and I've been accused of bias from both sides of the Cuban debate whilst making my 2000+ edits on Cuban subjects see here and here - or Ultramarine is wrong. Reading this rfc and this arbitration where I see a familiar pattern - I think it is Ultramarine's approach that is wrong. To avoid things turning nasty, I could badly do with some external input into the page. Because judging by Ultramarine's previous form and lack of communication - a drip-drip edit war could go on for a long time.-- Zleitzen 02:00, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
Hey, there is a bit of an edit war going on in the external links section of The World Can't Wait and Revolutionary Communist Party, USA. The talk pages of each include the relevant info (although posts keep getting removed, so you may need to look in the history. It seems to me that User:In the Stacks has an axe to grind with Chuck Munson (which appears to be mutual) and as such is refusing to allow any links to infoshop.org. This isn't going anywear, so I thought I'd ask you to take a look. Ungovernable Force Got something to say? 04:21, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for returning to the Healthcare article. Eventually some rational editing should surface - I really need to get other editors involved - and the article can be reduced back to the key concise points and properly presented without this bloated rubbish. I'd also be grateful if you could take a look at an article I've been writing practically alone : British African-Caribbean community and give me any thoughts or tips. The fact that I have had to write it almost alone for months says something about the demographics of wikipedia - such an important subject is almost ignored. I have a couple more paragraphs to write and I could really do with some pictures but it'd be good to get this to featured article status for many positive reasons. -- Zleitzen 09:34, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
Heya, I decided to come back. :) I'll be just looking around, doing minor stuff, and try not to get dragged into pointless debates on stupid details. How've you been? Anything interesting happen on wikipedia these past few months? Just drop me a message if there's anything I should know, I'll probably get on IRC sometime too.

Hello Francis,
I hope everything you're ok. I was checking your qualifications and what's interesting is that from software engineering you have jump to a different subject, linguistics, to do your master's. My question is—can you do such jump from a science or engineering barchelor to a humanities master's—I hope it's not too personal. take care. Ozgur Gerilla 01:06, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
Hello again,
Thank you very much for the information. I am interested in history, literature and language so it has to be one of those. I've did a little research and found MA in Turkish (combination of literature and language) in SOAS — spoke to the teacher and she said when you finish your barchelor come and see me. But I'm not sure if I would like to do Turkish for my master's. I got some time to decide the course but I'm sure I want to move from engineering/science to humanities. So how is your studies going? do you find linguistics interesting? Ozgur Gerilla 10:05, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Occupation of Izmir. Users disputing the title, saying its not occupation, saying you cant occupy your 'own'. Saying cant prove Izmir was the Ottomans Empire etc etc. I've told them clear Francis, if they cant provide any sane reason, then i will remove the tag in two days.

I have communicated with The Ungovernable Force regarding the proposed anthropology project which you indicated an interest in, and have gotten the OK from him to move the project into wiki-space and make it active. He indicated that he is busy in school right now, but will be as active as he can be given that. The project page as it now exists is only a minimum page, and could use the input of interested parties such as yourself. Personally, I did noticably poorly in the one cultural anthropology class I took in college, so I'm bowing out of this one, but wish you and the other members of the project the best of luck with it. Thank you. Badbilltucker 21:45, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

hey Francis :) Sorry, I misunderstood the purpose of the flags, I thought that we were showing all of the country flags that existed after the war, and not just after 1992. My suggestion would be to add another column of flags, where the country flags that changed after 1995 and 2006, but were previously part of SFRY, should also be listed.

Do not remove the term "Old Macedonian" from Old Church Slavonic. The term is used in the major English-language handbooks (Lunt, Schmalstieg, Nandris, IIRC Gardiner too), since Sts. Cyril and Methodius were from (Greek) Macedonia and OCS is based on the vernacular of Thessalonica. The term and the scholars who use it (in some cases preceding 1945) are unconnected to contemporary polemic about the Republic of Macedonia. CRCulver
Hi Francis, can do with your help on the Ataturk page please. User wants to create a section insinuating Ataturk was responsible for genocide of Armenians and Pontians. Thanks, -- A.Garnet 20:46, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
I am against merging of the two articles because they speak about two very different events. While goal of Axis occupation troops was simply to eliminate population of "wrong ethnic origin", the goal of partisans was to eliminate population of "wrong political affiliation". Although, one of the events was indeed consequence of another, it is best that both of them have their own separate articles. Also, the "Occupation of Vojvodina" article have see also section where is a link to "1944-1945 Killings in Bačka" article, so anybody could go there to read that article too. Problem is that killings in 1944-1945 are not the only consequence of the 1941-1944 occupation, thus any possible new section of the article speaking about consequences should mention all consequences, not only those killings in Bačka.

Hi, Francis. I have a dispute with Mauco at Transnistria talk page and I know you are one of the persons Mauco asked you previously to mediate disputes on this subject. The subject of the dispute is that Transnistrian authorities closed the Rîbniţa office of Transnistrian Communist Party. I want to include this fact in the article, as I consider it a proof for the lack of democracy in Transnistria, and Mauco disagree. Please look at this and share your thoughts.-- MariusM 10:35, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi Francis, could you take a look at the shenanigans I have uncovered on List of acts labelled as state terrorism sorted by state - and elsewhere in the State terrorism area. Whilst removing a section of original research relating to Cuba some time ago, I noticed that 95% of the page carried original research. Having cut the material down to the sourced bone, still quite generously in my view, every time I turn my back, it creeps back. User:RaveenS has been very active on the subject of state terrorism throughout wikipedia, being involved in numerous templates, pages and categories - which have been rightly challenged by others who have also noticed this liberal use of WP:NOR and WP:V. Incidentally, RaveenS is supported by various anon accounts who share the same view and editing pattern. -- Zleitzen 16:57, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
Francis, given your language experience, I was hoping you would know - or would know someone who knows - about the changes just made to Coprolalia ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). I need for someone to check on the Greek translations that were just inserted there: I have no idea if the info is anon IP vandalism or correct. Do you know of someone who can check?
