Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Thermal Exchanging Composite Materials which you have closed is a multiple deletion nominations. You have deleted only one page. Sole Soul ( talk) 08:29, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
Hey, sorry if this seems kinda of random, but seeing as though your a master editor, I was wondering if you could delete the page Telephone (music video). A majority of the people saying yes to the separation from the song and video were Lady GaGa fans (I checked the users edit history) and while the discussion is/was still going on a user went about on they're own and created the article. Similar to what happened with me with on the article "The Only Exception" page (it was under debate to be created but I accidently made it without approval), could you delete the article until the separation gets complete support? Thanks, Crystal Clear x3 [talk] 12:18, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
Hello! You deleted this article, although said, "with no prejudice towards merging to parent article, if anything worth merging can be found". Could you please undelete and redirect so that anyone interested in doing a merge will be able to do so? Thank you. Sincerely, -- A Nobody My talk 16:57, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
It appears that our first sockpuppet/meatpuppet has joined the party to start changing Constantinople to Istanbul, including this reference where the quote explicitly states "Constantinople".

Sorry it took a while to get to it, but I do mean to say thanks for the Barnstar of David for the Catskill synagogues (there will eventually be more, too, but not for a while).

The article deleted per discussion in November (about some weird Japanese thing) has nothing to do with the 112 single of the same name which was created yesterday. Would you consider restoring the recent edits? Orderinchaos 01:18, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

Your closure of AfD/Ron L. Zheng comes as a bit of a surprise to me as I guessed it would instead be recycled for further discussion. (Not that I'm objecting or anything.) Anyway, my nominating statement was so long that I suppose you dozed off while reading it and didn't reach the bit toward the end where I pointed out that I was also nominating " Poetography". -- Hoary ( talk) 23:57, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
Hi -
This is regarding a deletion of a month ago. Here are the relevant pages:
Samuel Schwartz (talent agent)
Articles_for_deletion: Samuel Schwartz
Requests_for_undeletion: Samuel Schwartz
I wanted to follow up on the discussion on the above-referenced Requests for Undeletion page. I have several more links to articles mentioning Schwartz with regard to his authority and distinction as a premiere film music agent. Additionally, Schwartz is a notable Los Angeles-area art collector, so I have links regarding that as well.
Who's who when it comes to tunes for TV, film, mobile, Web ("Variety," Jan. 7, 2010)
Art Collector Sam Schwartz Interview at the VIP Preview of House of Campari (video)
Michael Asher’s exhibition at the Santa Monica Museum of Art
... "some notable local collectors (Benedikt Taschen, Sam Schwartz, Shirley Morales, and Stavros Merjos) made the trek"
Renowned Indian musician
A.R. Rahman recognized Schwartz repeatedly following the massive success of
Slumdog Millionnaire:
I’ve never dreamt of winning these awards: Rahman
AR Rahman Gets Two Grammy Awards for Slumdog Millionaire
Oscar Winner AR Rahman On Slumdog Millionaire Part-1
Schwartz has also been instrumental in the career of Academy Award winning composer Michael Giacchino (Up)
"... Mr. Giacchino and his agents Sam Schwartz and Michael Gorfaine (who has been responsible for John Williams, amongst others), saw a great opportunity to "legitimize" Mr. Giacchino as more than just a "hummer" ...
I believe there are sufficient references that make the case for notability and inclusion in Wikipedia. I would like the article undeleted so that I can add these relevant links to make it more complete.
Thanks,
Christine

Historylover has twice [3] [4] added opinion to the Devşirme article, misrepresenting both the bbc and this link [5], stating, "The opposite point of view states that in the context of that time the devsirme system was relatively harmless and provided opportunities for young men to rise to elite positions in the Ottoman Empire (including in the Palace)." Nothing in the bbc or The state and the tributary mode of production, by Haldon, states this viewpoint. I posted a warning about misrepresenting a source on Talk:Devşirme [6], which was ignored. After this editor's second addition, I posted a warning on their talkpage [7]. Could you take a look into this situation? Thank you. -- Kansas Bear ( talk) 19:15, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

Hi again Jay! Hope you are well! Last time we talked, we left of with me starting a new draft of Timeline of the War on Terrorism. Well, I finally got around to starting it (at User:Arbitrarily0/Timeline of the War on Terrorism). Judging by the parts of done so far, do you think that it is ready for inclusion? Obviously it could be greatly expanded, but the goal is to get a mainspace-adequate version out there for further improvements. Let me know what you think, Arbitrarily0 ( talk) 14:04, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
I'm not sure what you mean; the draft is still full of the problematic references too. Have you considered creating a draft based solely on the reliable timelines? Jayjg (talk) 02:08, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
January 3 to April 12 - anti-war groups across the world organized public protests against war with Iraq. About 36 million people across the globe took part in almost 3,000 protests.

It appeared to pass the general notability guideline through my searches, but I could be wrong on this. Cheers, Arbitrarily0 ( talk) 17:01, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

I don't think it is necessary to remove the red link off articles with Geddie's name in it. It looks much neater to have all drivers linked than to have one on its own with no link. It simply looks silly and I don't understand the harm in having a deleted page red-linked, when other as-yet uncreated links are left red around it. You cannot say that the Geddie page will never be recreated, he could become a multiple champion of his series and start racing at higher levels and become notable enough to warrant an article anyway, therefore the link would have to be put back. It is standard across motorsport to keep uncreated driver pages red-linked, such is the work that has to be done if new driver pages are created and every potential link has to be found from all the seasons pages of countless race series. It is better for a visitor to the page to see an uncreated red-link than to come across a name with no link but that does have a page created: the visitor does not know there is a page to access and it may take a long time until a chance visit by Wiki motorsport editor to realise there should be a link. Unless you give me a undisputable reason not to return the Geddie links then they must go back due to the ridiculous nature of the inconsistencies created on some articles as a result. I hope you understand. Officially Mr X ( talk) 20:14, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi, A new user named Woodstockergabei is adding the name of a Hasidut I have never heard of and cannot find on Google to the List of Hasidic dynasties.

What is your reasoning behind deleting this article. You indicate that it is merged into Ukrainian Internet Association, but when I check it's article there's really no information about UA-IX there. So you basically delete this article, saying that it is merged with Ukrainian Internet Association, but in fact it is not. I don't understand your logic -- Rkononenko ( talk) 12:10, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Criticism of Judaism. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and " What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Criticism of Judaism (2nd nomination). Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.
Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. -- Erwin85Bot ( talk) 01:12, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
I noticed today that the Dinky Bomb article has been deleted. As one of the former administrators of the game, I was hoping you could give me the source code for that article so that I can preserve it somewhere on my own website. I often talk to old players of the game, and when they ask me what happened to it, I used to direct them to the Wikipedia article. Since I can't do that any more, I'd at least like to save the information it contained.
For what it's worth, I think the decision to delete it was a bit rash. It was, at one time, a pay-to-play game, had over 50,000 user accounts, and was promoted by "reputable sources" such as the Penny Arcade blog. I thought that met the Wikipedia guidelines for relevance, but I am no expert. Either way, I would really appreciate having this information so that I can preserve it elsewhere.
Can you please e-mail it to me at sgware@gmail.com? I tried to find it myself, but short of making small edits to a few articles, I am not familiar with the inner working of Wikipedia. Thanks!
Update: Got your email. Thanks for your help!—Preceding unsigned comment added by Sgware ( talk • contribs) 17:51, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
I see that recently you've been working out some issues on the "Rabbi Elazar Shach's critique" section on the "Chabad-Lubavitch related controversies" page. I see you've been erasing a lot of the POV and OR there. Can you check out the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elazar_Shach page, specifically Political Life/Opposition to the Lubavitcher Rebbe, and fix it up a bit there also?

It's not in the Catskills (indeed, it's on the other side of the Hudson, actually in the Housatonic watershed and almost in Connecticut) but you might want to look at Beth David Synagogue (Amenia, New York). Mitchazenia started it a while back and I recently updated it, adding a photo and some more sources.
Interestingly, it's the only synagogue on the Register in New York east of the Hudson north of New York City. Unfortunately the expansion was not enough to make that a potential DYK fact. Daniel Case ( talk) 08:01, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

Saw that you were recently active on ANI and thought I'd ask someone as a sanity-check before I posted there. What do you make of this user's edits? I posted a welcome and suggestion on their talk page to use summaries.

A while back you deleted Zendesk after an AfD. I am not questioning your reading of the AfD, but do believe the subject is notable. (See [17]). As such, I would like to undelete and userify it in order to fix the article, but before I did I wanted to run it by you just in case you objected.

A few month ago you deleted Rekonq. The reason was that it was not considered notable enough at the time ( Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Rekonq). Since then a major linux distribution, kubuntu has announced that rekonq is going to be the default browser in the next release (kubuntu 10.10 Maverick), in replacement of konqueror (See: [18] [19]). My opinion is that Rekonq is now worth an article in wikipedia. Bzhb ( talk) 10:55, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

Could I get a copy sent to me of this page which was removed because not enough third-party references could be located by couple of people poking around?

Jayjg, I reread your comments, and I'm trying to understand your position. So a question I have is, of the topics on the page as it exists today, which topic do you has the greatest potential for meeting your view of policy? The reason I'm asking is it would help me understand what direction you would want this article to take (assuming it's not deleted and salted, or doesn't simply melt down). -- Nuujinn ( talk) 00:09, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
I saw your recent edit to Judaism. It leaves a somewhat unclear situation, where the word "are still mostly restricted" has no meaning. Perhaps you should remove the second sentence also. In addition I would like to ask, since you claim this is undue attention to the subject, whether the subject is treated properly in another article? Debresser ( talk) 06:44, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
Jayjg,
I really want to help try making Wikipedia more neutral, so I'm sorry for coming off as selfish and rude to you and others on Wikipedia. Please forgive me I am sorry. I want to publicly apologize to you for saying that our religion was the reason why there is so much bias in the Leo Frank article. I was just concerned that because the subject was about our people that we sometimes tend to lean the articles in our favor. I promise you I will not bring up the subject of Jewish Bias in the Leo Frank article again and I'm sorry for being insensitive and disruptive. The issue I brought up was that the overwhelming majority of the sources in the Leo Frank article are from Jewish Scholars who presuppose Leo Franks innocence and therefore the whole article is slanted. I was trying to suggest that there doesnt seem to be enough sources in the article that bring neutrality and even-handedness to the article. It seems like all the facts which suggest Leo Frank might be guilty were left out. I just feel like this is a problem that is pervasive throughout Wikipedia and I don't know what to do or how to bring this up without being insensitive. I truly feel in my heart of hearts that we often take sides when it comes to topics about our Jewish community. How can I bring this subject up without pissing anyone off or getting myself deleted from here? I do not want to be deleted or cause problems, I really want to help and contribute to wikipedia. I am sorry from my heart about mentioning this and will try to do so in private, because I know it could be seen as disruptive and I want to personally from my HEART say sorry to you. Can we please talk privately about this matter? Machn ( talk) 00:50, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
I want to thank you for hearing me out and I hope my apology on the Leo Frank discussion forum can end the uncomfortable line of discourse. I am relatively new to Wikipedia, could you tell me specifically what I click on to contact you privately? Also, how would you recommend I make an apology in the Leo Frank discussion area to bring the edit war there to a closure? thank you. Machn ( talk) 09:34, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

I just noted M Price's comment that I was violating my ban. Honestly I hadn't thought of that. On reflection, an adversary might say there is a potential analogy with that Laqueur-Qur'anic issue we engaged in, which was borderline. My suggestion was that there there was a potential I/P reflex. Had I reflected on this perhaps I should not have added my note, which now only might embarrass you, though I appreciate any admin willing to act as a neutral mediator on an article, like this one, where no one appears capable of budging. I don't think, really, that a discussion of the scission and sects of early Judaism and Christianity, which is a purely historical crux, really enters into the I/P area, but if you think it best I stay out, despite the intensity of my earlier work on that article, I'll withdraw and raise no problems. John Carter did indeed ask me to look over the issue. Is that canvassing? Again, perhaps, but I really have no ideological horse in this race. To me it is like the Shakespeare Authorship Question, a matter of method vs.fringe speculation. I apologize if just wandering in there (if you are ready to believe me on this - I didn't know you were the mediator) upset any applecart, as Price's comment now seems to threaten. I don't have the time to seriously engage with the article anyway, so my presence and comments can be withdrawn without harm, if needed. Good luck with the mediation.

Hey, you moved what i think was a valid list-article / set index article wp:SIA that was at "Temple Israel" inappropriately to "Temple Israel (Tulsa, Oklahoma)". At least you should have opened a discussion before a drastic change like that. And, if accepted and implemented it should have been done in a way that moved the edit history to a reasonable place. I am going to open a multiple-pages wp:RM to fix all back to way it was, i guess. Please comment in that discussion.

I would like to bring attention to the article on Hemant Karkare, which is currently sufferring from a massive edit war, possibly by sock puppets ( see my post here for the list) led by an anti-Israel editor named User:TwoHorned (He tried to POV-push in the India-Israel relations article before). The focus of the "edit-war" is over WP:FRINGE Conspiracy Theories concerning his death and the 2008 Mumbai attacks (in which a Chabad Lubavich center in Mumbai was destroyed by Pakistani Muslims). The edit-warriors keep inserting many bogus claims made by extremists, one of them is that Israeli-government has been fomenting religious riots in India (see this section of their version). Perhaps some intervention would prove constructive in this area. Thanks. 117.194.197.61 ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 23:44, 18 June 2010 (UTC).
“ | The allegation that sections of and individual Indian Muslims indulged in “terrorism” surfaced for the first time with the ascent of the Hindutva forces in mid-1990s and became state policy with the BJP’s coming to power at the Centre. With even “secular” media joining the role as stenographers of security agencies, this became an accepted fact so much so that common Indians and even many Muslims started believing in this false propaganda. | ” |
“ | It comes out with some startling facts and analysis, the first of its kind, to expose the real actors behind the so-called “Islamic terrorism” in India whose greatest feat was to murder the Maharashtra ATS chief Hemant Karkare who dared to expose these forces and paid with his life for his courage and commitment to truth. While unearthing the conspiracy behind the murder of Karkare, this book takes a hard look at some of the major incidents attributed to “Islamic terrorism” in India and finds them baseless. | ” |
“ | Terror's Hindu Face: Todays's ie, 18th May 2010's Asian Age's Delhi Edition devotes a full page to the hitherto well hidden from the public gaze and long suppressed by the media, Hindu Terrorism. | ” |
“ | A new book curiously titled Who Killed Karkare? says a nationwide network of Hindutva terror that has its tentacles spread up to Nepal and Israel is out to destroy the India most Indians have known for ages and to remould it into some kind of Afghanistan under the Taliban. | ” |

Hey congratulations i guess about your getting a DYK for the Temple Israel (Tulsa, Oklahoma) article. I still don't understand why your edits towards creating that had to be done on top of the existing Temple Israel list-article. And, I am sorry you misunderstood my intent with the Requested Move; you seemed to think i wanted to delete some Tulsa info when what i suggested was specifically to save every bit you had added. Anyhow, i have reconstituted the list-article now at Temple Israel again. Would you please indicate at its Talk page if you oppose the existence of that for any reason? I never understood your having any specific objection. But if you are unfamiliar with how set-index-articles can substitute for a disambiguation page, please see wp:SIA. I would like to have it be stable before re-requesting administrative help to restore the edit history of that list-article. -- doncram ( talk) 22:12, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

Hey, sorry if this seems kinda of random, but seeing as though your a master editor, I was wondering if you could delete the page Telephone (music video). A majority of the people saying yes to the separation from the song and video were Lady GaGa fans (I checked the users edit history) and while the discussion is/was still going on a user went about on they're own and created the article. Similar to what happened with me with on the article "The Only Exception" page (it was under debate to be created but I accidently made it without approval), could you delete the article until the separation gets complete support?

I wanted to follow up on the discussion on the above-referenced Requests for Undeletion page. I have several more links to articles mentioning Schwartz with regard to his authority and distinction as a premiere film music agent. Additionally, Schwartz is a notable Los Angeles-area art collector, so I have links regarding that as well.

I believe there are sufficient references that make the case for notability and inclusion in Wikipedia. I would like the article undeleted so that I can add these relevant links to make it more complete.

I don't think it is necessary to remove the red link off articles with Geddie's name in it. It looks much neater to have all drivers linked than to have one on its own with no link. It simply looks silly and I don't understand the harm in having a deleted page red-linked, when other as-yet uncreated links are left red around it. You cannot say that the Geddie page will never be recreated, he could become a multiple champion of his series and start racing at higher levels and become notable enough to warrant an article anyway, therefore the link would have to be put back. It is standard across motorsport to keep uncreated driver pages red-linked, such is the work that has to be done if new driver pages are created and every potential link has to be found from all the seasons pages of countless race series. It is better for a visitor to the page to see an uncreated red-link than to come across a name with no link but that does have a page created: the visitor does not know there is a page to access and it may take a long time until a chance visit by Wiki motorsport editor to realise there should be a link. Unless you give me a undisputable reason not to return the Geddie links then they must go back due to the ridiculous nature of the inconsistencies created on some articles as a result. I hope you understand. Officially Mr X ( talk) 20:14, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Criticism of Judaism.

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Criticism of Judaism (2nd nomination). Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

I noticed today that the Dinky Bomb article has been deleted. As one of the former administrators of the game, I was hoping you could give me the source code for that article so that I can preserve it somewhere on my own website. I often talk to old players of the game, and when they ask me what happened to it, I used to direct them to the Wikipedia article. Since I can't do that any more, I'd at least like to save the information it contained.
For what it's worth, I think the decision to delete it was a bit rash. It was, at one time, a pay-to-play game, had over 50,000 user accounts, and was promoted by "reputable sources" such as the Penny Arcade blog. I thought that met the Wikipedia guidelines for relevance, but I am no expert. Either way, I would really appreciate having this information so that I can preserve it elsewhere.
Can you please e-mail it to me at sgware@gmail.com? I tried to find it myself, but short of making small edits to a few articles, I am not familiar with the inner working of Wikipedia. Thanks!

Jayjg,
I really want to help try making Wikipedia more neutral, so I'm sorry for coming off as selfish and rude to you and others on Wikipedia. Please forgive me I am sorry. I want to publicly apologize to you for saying that our religion was the reason why there is so much bias in the Leo Frank article. I was just concerned that because the subject was about our people that we sometimes tend to lean the articles in our favor. I promise you I will not bring up the subject of Jewish Bias in the Leo Frank article again and I'm sorry for being insensitive and disruptive. The issue I brought up was that the overwhelming majority of the sources in the Leo Frank article are from Jewish Scholars who presuppose Leo Franks innocence and therefore the whole article is slanted. I was trying to suggest that there doesnt seem to be enough sources in the article that bring neutrality and even-handedness to the article. It seems like all the facts which suggest Leo Frank might be guilty were left out. I just feel like this is a problem that is pervasive throughout Wikipedia and I don't know what to do or how to bring this up without being insensitive. I truly feel in my heart of hearts that we often take sides when it comes to topics about our Jewish community. How can I bring this subject up without pissing anyone off or getting myself deleted from here? I do not want to be deleted or cause problems, I really want to help and contribute to wikipedia. I am sorry from my heart about mentioning this and will try to do so in private, because I know it could be seen as disruptive and I want to personally from my HEART say sorry to you. Can we please talk privately about this matter? Machn ( talk) 00:50, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
I want to thank you for hearing me out and I hope my apology on the Leo Frank discussion forum can end the uncomfortable line of discourse.

Also, how would you recommend I make an apology in the Leo Frank discussion area to bring the edit war there to a closure? thank you. Machn ( talk) 09:34, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

Only one question need be asked: "Is it good for Wikipedia"? :-) Daniel Case ( talk) 23:03, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
When the article Mitchell Walker was created it failed WP:Bio hence the request for deletion. The player now passes WP:Bio as he has appearred at a professional level. Also, the player is referred to as Mitch Walker by the club RM-Taylor ( talk) 00:22, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
I just noted M Price's comment that I was violating my ban. Honestly I hadn't thought of that. On reflection, an adversary might say there is a potential analogy with that Laqueur-Qur'anic issue we engaged in, which was borderline. My suggestion was that there there was a potential I/P reflex. Had I reflected on this perhaps I should not have added my note, which now only might embarrass you, though I appreciate any admin willing to act as a neutral mediator on an article, like this one, where no one appears capable of budging. I don't think, really, that a discussion of the scission and sects of early Judaism and Christianity, which is a purely historical crux, really enters into the I/P area, but if you think it best I stay out, despite the intensity of my earlier work on that article, I'll withdraw and raise no problems. John Carter did indeed ask me to look over the issue. Is that canvassing? Again, perhaps, but I really have no ideological horse in this race. To me it is like the Shakespeare Authorship Question, a matter of method vs.fringe speculation. I apologize if just wandering in there (if you are ready to believe me on this - I didn't know you were the mediator) upset any applecart, as Price's comment now seems to threaten. I don't have the time to seriously engage with the article anyway, so my presence and comments can be withdrawn without harm, if needed. Good luck with the mediation.

Jayjg, I've made a few changes to the "Quoting primary sources" section. Do these address some of your concerns? Current status here.
Yaris dropped me a note on my talk page about the proposal a couple of days ago; overall, I thought the draft looks useful. -- JN 466 03:18, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi Jayjg! Happy WikiBirthday! It's not common that we see someone who has been on Wikipedia for 6 years. I didn't find a barnstar that specifically rewards great contributions over a very long period, so instead I present to you a cake! Cheers, — Ynhockey ( Talk) 22:52, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Hey, you moved what i think was a valid list-article / set index article wp:SIA that was at "Temple Israel" inappropriately to "Temple Israel (Tulsa, Oklahoma)". At least you should have opened a discussion before a drastic change like that. And, if accepted and implemented it should have been done in a way that moved the edit history to a reasonable place. I am going to open a multiple-pages wp:RM to fix all back to way it was, i guess. Please comment in that discussion. Please consider using the Requested Move service to gauge appropriateness of any move that might possibly be contentious, in the future. -- doncram ( talk) 03:38, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
Thank you very much for your contribution to my Rfa. I have made a comment about it at User talk:JamesBWatson#Your Request for Adminship which you are, of course, very welcome to read if you wish to. JamesBWatson ( talk) 14:43, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
I am the main contributor of the article Maghrebim. So please stop always changing what I re-edit , I just want to make the article more clear thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.132.185.48 ( talk) 04:52, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
I would like to bring attention to the article on Hemant Karkare, which is currently sufferring from a massive edit war, possibly by sock puppets ( see my post here for the list) led by an anti-Israel editor named User:TwoHorned (He tried to POV-push in the India-Israel relations article before). The focus of the "edit-war" is over WP:FRINGE Conspiracy Theories concerning his death and the 2008 Mumbai attacks (in which a Chabad Lubavich center in Mumbai was destroyed by Pakistani Muslims). The edit-warriors keep inserting many bogus claims made by extremists, one of them is that Israeli-government has been fomenting religious riots in India (see this section of their version). Perhaps some intervention would prove constructive in this area. Thanks. 117.194.197.61 ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 23:44, 18 June 2010 (UTC).
“ | The allegation that sections of and individual Indian Muslims indulged in “terrorism” surfaced for the first time with the ascent of the Hindutva forces in mid-1990s and became state policy with the BJP’s coming to power at the Centre. With even “secular” media joining the role as stenographers of security agencies, this became an accepted fact so much so that common Indians and even many Muslims started believing in this false propaganda. | ” |
“ | It comes out with some startling facts and analysis, the first of its kind, to expose the real actors behind the so-called “Islamic terrorism” in India whose greatest feat was to murder the Maharashtra ATS chief Hemant Karkare who dared to expose these forces and paid with his life for his courage and commitment to truth. While unearthing the conspiracy behind the murder of Karkare, this book takes a hard look at some of the major incidents attributed to “Islamic terrorism” in India and finds them baseless. | ” |
“ | Terror's Hindu Face: Todays's ie, 18th May 2010's Asian Age's Delhi Edition devotes a full page to the hitherto well hidden from the public gaze and long suppressed by the media, Hindu Terrorism. | ” |
“ | A new book curiously titled Who Killed Karkare? says a nationwide network of Hindutva terror that has its tentacles spread up to Nepal and Israel is out to destroy the India most Indians have known for ages and to remould it into some kind of Afghanistan under the Taliban. | ” |

Regarding your page protection of this related article, TwoHorned has expressed the intent to continue edit-warring once the article is unprotected [33], this even after the antisemitic Conspiracy Theory he is espousing has been debunked by the Anti-Defamation League, a highly respected source[ [34]]. 59.160.210.68 ( talk) 09:58, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
IP, would you also please explain the comment you made here: It gets worse. There is an admin backing him now [38] [39]? Quite apart from the fact that you link to a diff that appears to contradict what you say, do you really feel that what you said is (a) accurate, (b) honest, (c) likely to help your cause in anyway? Repeat this crap again and I'll open up an WP:WQA. TFOWR 10:33, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
This is a blog: http://holocaustcontroversies.blogspot.com/
This is a website: http://vho.org/
The latter is allowed under WP rules, the former is not.
Which of the two contains fact-based information, and which contains ideologically motivated propaganda? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cortagravatas ( talk • contribs) 13:28, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

Hey congratulations i guess about your getting a DYK for the Temple Israel (Tulsa, Oklahoma) article. I still don't understand why your edits towards creating that had to be done on top of the existing Temple Israel list-article. And, I am sorry you misunderstood my intent with the Requested Move; you seemed to think i wanted to delete some Tulsa info when what i suggested was specifically to save every bit you had added. Anyhow, i have reconstituted the list-article now at Temple Israel again. Would you please indicate at its Talk page if you oppose the existence of that for any reason? I never understood your having any specific objection. But if you are unfamiliar with how set-index-articles can substitute for a disambiguation page, please see wp:SIA. I would like to have it be stable before re-requesting administrative help to restore the edit history of that list-article. -- doncram ( talk) 22:12, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
