Hello Wikipedia Library Users,
You are receiving this message because the Wikipedia Library has record of you receiving a one-year subscription to HighBeam. This is a brief update to remind you about that access:
Finally, we would greatly appreciate if you filled out this short survey. The survey helps us not only better serve you with facilitating this particular partnership, but also helps us discover what other partnerships and services the Wikipedia Library can offer.
Thank you. 20:32, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
I thought the term Target was better, since this person is after you. I would have to suggest the best way to deal with a person like this is to just ignore them and delete their emails or IMs. If they see you won't respond, they'll feel inclined to keep doing it and give up. Sometimes it pays to be thick skinned. Aside from the fact he's been hounding you, the name "runtshit" would be blocked in any case since profanity usernames are generally not acceptable anyways.

Hello Roland. Just a small question I couldn't find an answer in the internt. How can you translate the word "חניך" to something that isn't "student" or "pupil"? The definition in my context is "member of a yough organization", but is there a single word for it?-- Bolter21 ( talk to me) 01:20, 30 July 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for adding a reference, but I don't find it very convincing. I've found plenty of places where people are claiming they've heard this photo is fake, but nowhere does anyone provide any evidence or a copy of the alleged original photo. This art journalist could easily have just repeated some hearsay.
Futhermore, I've found at least two more similar photos taken at the same time, each of which shows a different facial expression for both men: [2] [3]. It seems implausible that a forger would go to the trouble of faking all of them. – Smyth\ talk 22:22, 27 August 2016 (UTC)

Hello Roland, best regards from the Netherlands Amin ( talk) 15:42, 19 October 2016 (UTC) |
Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa? Lo dicono a Signa. 02:27, 21 October 2016 (UTC)

Hey Roland. I need your help again. I need to translate this sentence: "הסיבה לשינוי היתה ידיעות מוטעות על הקדמת פינויו של הצבא הבריטי מהעיר". Google translate did not help and I translated it as "...false reports of a fast British evacuation from the city" which sounds very bad, since I don't know what is the translation for "הקדמה".-- Bolter21 ( talk to me) 16:04, 28 January 2017 (UTC)

I'm not even sure I understand the point of view you're supporting or opposing here:
"Statement by RolandR
No-one seems to have responded to Proximity's argument that "in a partisan controversy, no partisan adherent should be allowed to stand in for, to represent for his or her adversaries, their points of view --whether those points of view be of the minority or of the majority. Every camp, every arguant's position should be reserved for explanation, presentation and clarification by partisans, and only by partisans, of each point of view concerned." This is so clearly against Wikipedia's norms and guidelines that it cannot be ignored. Wikipedia is based on a neutral point of view. This does not mean that editors may not hold particular points of view, but does mean that we must edit neutrally. We should not ignore and dismiss the point of view of those we disagree with, and nor may we present our own point of view as unquestioned fact. Wikipedia is not a debating chamber, and articles should not be a place where rival points of view are presented and voted on. If Proximity cannot accept this basic rule, then they have no business editing anywhere on Wikipedia, and least of all in such a highly contentious article. RolandR (talk) 22:34, 2 May 2017 (UTC)"
( by the way, I have no clear idea to whom you are referring by "they", above? )
I wonder if you understood my point-- "Every camp, every arguant's (i.e. disputant's) position should be reserved for explanation, presentation and clarification by partisans- (clarification: that is, by each position's own partisan participants rather than by their adversaries), and only by (those) partisans, of each point of view concerned." In short, Stratfordian partisans in the SAQ should have no more business exclusively taking on the role of explaining what their advesaries' point of view is* than the other way around--in which case, the Stratfordian partisans would be screaming to high heaven.
Am I to understand that it is this which you mean when you write that, "This is so clearly against Wikipedia's norms and guidelines that it cannot be ignored" ? Proximity1 ( talk) 07:06, 3 May 2017 (UTC)

This is to inform you that an attempt is being made to overturn an RfC that you voted on (2 RfCs, actually, one less than six months ago and another a year ago). The new RfC is at:
Specifically, it asks that "religion = none" be allowed in the infobox.
The first RfC that this new RfC is trying to overturn is:
The result of that RfC was "unambiguously in favour of omitting the parameter altogether for 'none' " and despite the RfC title, additionally found that "There's no obvious reason why this would not apply to historical or fictional characters, institutions etc.", and that nonreligions listed in the religion entry should be removed when found "in any article".
The second RfC that this new RfC is trying to overturn is:
The result of that RfC was that the "in all Wikipedia articles, without exception, nonreligions should not be listed in the Religion= parameter of the infobox.".
Note: I am informing everyone who commented on the above RfCs, whether they supported or opposed the final consensus. -- Guy Macon ( talk) 03:18, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
I somehow seem to remember that you understood Hebrew? If so, could you please tale a look at User:Huldra/Ben-Arieh? The Ben-Arieh article here has a lot of info about Palestinian villages, and I have tried to note which villages in User:Huldra/Ben-Arieh.
If you have time/interest, could you please check that I have gotten the names correct? And please add any one I have missed. So far I have only added villages which has been mentioned in the 1596 dafter, that is,
this. I see Bolter21 is around, so Ill ask him, too.

Templating an editor with an accusation of defamation or libel for an edit like this is not helpful. Your own edit summary said "Unhelpful, and borderline vandalism". It's quite a leap from borderline vandalism to defamation. The first thing to know about that is that the WP:BLP policy doesn't apply to criticism of a country. Your revert was justified, and perhaps a talk page warning was acceptable, but please dial it back a bit with the warnings.
You could even consider talk page discussion before issuing warnings, or other avenues of dispute resolution. Just my opinion. I haven't reverted any of your edits. -- Dennis Bratland ( talk) 16:37, 1 November 2017 (UTC)
You're indisputably on solid ground if you say the edit violates WP:NPOV, and that's a good enough reason for a warning and a revert. -- Dennis Bratland ( talk) 17:20, 1 November 2017 (UTC)

I somehow seem to remember that you understood Hebrew? If so, could you please tale a look at User:Huldra/Ben-Arieh? The Ben-Arieh article here has a lot of info about Palestinian villages, and I have tried to note which villages in User:Huldra/Ben-Arieh.
If you have time/interest, could you please check that I have gotten the names correct? And please add any one I have missed. So far I have only added villages which has been mentioned in the 1596 dafter, that is,
this. I see Bolter21 is around, so Ill ask him, too.

Templating an editor with an accusation of defamation or libel for an edit like this is not helpful. Your own edit summary said "Unhelpful, and borderline vandalism". It's quite a leap from borderline vandalism to defamation. The first thing to know about that is that the WP:BLP policy doesn't apply to criticism of a country. Your revert was justified, and perhaps a talk page warning was acceptable, but please dial it back a bit with the warnings.
You could even consider talk page discussion before issuing warnings, or other avenues of dispute resolution. Just my opinion. I haven't reverted any of your edits. -- Dennis Bratland ( talk) 16:37, 1 November 2017 (UTC)
You're indisputably on solid ground if you say the edit violates WP:NPOV, and that's a good enough reason for a warning and a revert. -- Dennis Bratland ( talk) 17:20, 1 November 2017 (UTC)

Hello RolandR. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Tobias Hübinette, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: I don't speak Swedish, but the article at sv:Tobias Hübinette looks like he might be notable enough. Thank you. So Why 11:08, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
