I saw your comments and I'm glad that you are here don't be afarid to be be bold and make edits to the main pages. Welcome to wikipedia! futurebird 21:39, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
I didn't expect you to say so much. But maybe it will help... we'll see. Thanks!! Oh, and, I'm not just being "nice" I'm trying to be fair. I know how you feel about these things but we really need to have both side represented-- FAIRLY-- you know? I'll talk to you later. You should check out my new wiki project WP:AFRO if we can't fix the problems let's at least make these articles clear and strong-- there is so little content and we need a lot of help. I hope you stick around. futurebird 20:49, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
Welcome!
Hello, JJJamal, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

You are an admin, right?
Can you explain why pages around here get locked as soon as people try to address POV issues by countering racist arguements?
I've seen this happen to two pages today?
Also, How can you mediate this dispute when you seem to have your own POV on it?
I'm not trying to insult you here. It just looks unfair from where I'm seeing it
I'd love to have your feedback on these proposed changes:

I have semi-protected the Race and intelligence article so you can now edit it. If you do not mind, I would like to give you some advice that I believe is important if you want your improvements to the article to last, and that will protect you from unfair conflicts.
I apologize if any of this sounds patronizing. And if you question my motives all I can say is I really am trying to be practical and strategic. I think if you do not follow this advice no sustainable progress will be made in the article. If you do follow this advice, I think the article really will get better, even if at a slower rate than you'd like. I am sharing this with Futurebird and JK; please share this advice with anyone else you closely collaborate with. Slrubenstein | Talk 10:41, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
You are an asshat, but I love you any way. Fight the power Bro. futurebird 03:02, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

I couldn't find a pdf version of the whole book (nisbett just wrote chapter 3), but they let you browse a version online. Thanks for the tip! -- JereKrischel 08:54, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
Is that the labels on the graph help to add... context, it helps to show the mentality of the type of people who do this work. It should also get the graph moved out such a prominent position rather quickly. It shows how a graph like this one can express a POV. Your reaction to the labels was the same as mine, the first time I saw it. I had to share that outrage with the world, rather than just letting them see this graph as "pure science" lets open it up and get to the heart of what these people are really talking about. futurebird 01:22, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
You're just going to get banned. futurebird 02:38, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
Concerning one of your conflicts with WRN, it is important that you understand the following, taken from our WP:NPOV policy (which is sacrosanct):
I urge you to review the NPOV policy, and read the policy on content forking, and take every measure to ensure you comply with these. Slrubenstein | Talk 13:40, 18 February 2007 (UTC) PS I do not know the answer about images, sorry.
Thank you so much for your help with that IfD, It's nice to see things going the right way... for once. You know, it's string to feel like there is a real community here, and I'm string to think that the wikipedia can be the kind of place that with some work, people will be able to trust for real information... even on controversial topics. So, thank you, Jamal. I'm glad you thought it over and saw the point of those labels. futurebird 20:06, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
futurebird 01:56, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
I see what you mean! Wow. futurebird 03:29, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
Hey, you need to watchlist
this page. There is no guarantee someone will actuall step up and mediate, so you need to watch that page to see if someone does. For more information,

Hey, JJJ, before I archive it, will you make sure there is nothing here or in the following section - chock full of citations - that you want to put in one of the pages you are working on, but have not yet? best, Slrubenstein | Talk 17:13, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
JJJamal, this is a very sensitive subject: Races, Egyptians, Origins. Please, try to contribute!-- Lusala lu ne Nkuka Luka 09:03, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
Since you have worked on this article I thought you might have something to say about this RFC. futurebird ( talk) 01:33, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
It might make a difference if you apologized, you seem to be in pretty bad shape due to this RfC on you. If you wrote a really sincere apology it might mean something. Just an idea! I mean, this is a MESS. And I'm not even from India, man. JJJamal ( talk) 01:07, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
Actually, I've come to the conclusion that entities like Dbachmann have been given a free pass and possibly their marching orders with the consent of the higher-ups -- and probably even the highest-up, if you get my meaning. deeceevoice ( talk) 03:36, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
Jamal, Are you aware that the bunch of Indian editors whom you side with against Dbachmann are part of an anti-muslim cabal which successfully got a number of Pakistani editors banned because they are Muslims? You should check the hisotry of those vociferous attackers of dab. You also need to know that Dab has been at the forefront in dealing with Hindu fanaticism for a long time now. That he is against all sorts of fanaticism is his sin. I know that he sometimes gets testy but who do not? Naya savera ( talk) 08:10, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
I have filed a case here, I just listed myself an Dbachmann as the involved parties, because I was unsure how to do it, if you would also like to be listed as an involved party and make a statement, please feel free to add your name and statement. futurebird 19:33, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
