Two problems with your edits: The Atiyah quote was already in the article, further down and at greater length that makes his views much clearer and makes putting him in as expounding an Instigated-Flight Theory not too appropriate. The Walid Khalidi quotation section is in grammatical, if perhaps clumsy English. The quotes are from Khalidi. It is saying that Khalidi said that Schechtman basically made up the instigated flight theory. So I think it belongs in the article. Oh, and welcome to Wikipedia too. Hope you have a good time editting! 4.234.12.197 23:34, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi Screen stalker. You are off to such a great start on the article Causes of the 1948 Palestinian exodus that it may qualify to appear on Wikipedia's Main Page under the Did you know... section. The Main Page gets about 4,000,000 hits per day and appearing on the Main Page may help bring publicity and assistance to the article. However, there is a five day from article creation window for Did you know... nominations. Before five days pass from the date the article was created and if you haven't already done so, please consider nominating the article to appear on the Main Page by posting a nomination at Did you know suggestions. If you do nominate the article for DYK, please cross out the article name on the "Good" articles proposed by bot list. Also, don't forget to keep checking back at Did you know suggestions for comments regarding your nomination. Again, great job on the article. -- Jreferee ( Talk) 17:42, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
Dear Screen stalker,
Thanks for the barn star for the Causes of the 1948 Palestinian exodus article, but I fear that the page is still kind of a mess. I like most of the ideas you propose on the talk page. Hopefully they will be adopted. -- GHcool 23:56, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
Just to thank you for it. It was my first! I will not be able to work to much on the articles for a while, but I think at the end we will arrive at something interesting. See you around. -- Jorditxei 01:37, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
Sabakh el nur. I have posted a question for you on the last discussion item of Causes of the 1948 Palestinian exodus. I hope that you will answer it. Screen stalker 14:04, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
Since you have challenged my to explain why I think a very large portion of the exodus was caused by the tribulations of war or by Arab leaders, I will attempt to do so.
Let us examine this as follows: Suppose that we accept Morris as a source (and I am not saying that we should).
If we look beyond Morris, the evidence that ToW and Arab leaders' actions led to the exodus is in the article. Read the EoF section.
As for your argument that Morris was essentially forced to become racist, that is OR. If you don't think saying that Palestinians are as innocent as Nazi collaborators is hate-speech, then I don't see why what Schechtman says is hate speech. Screen stalker 00:19, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
Hi,
There is a big misunderstanding.
So I answered you on both the talk page on the article
History of Israel and
Causes of the 1948 Palestinian exodus.
Based what is published in the article from Ha'aretz, survival of the fittest, JaapBoBo has introduced in several articles that Benny Morris called the 1948 events an ethnic cleansing.

Hello,
I thought you should be aware of this - an editor has raised an accusation (of sorts) against you on Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents/Wikilobby campaign (specifically here). This is with respect to the whole CAMERA wiki lobbying affair, if you're aware of it. He claims you might be one of the people involved there, identified as "gilead".
Just thought you ought to know when people are making accusations behind your back.

Considering that you opened a re-naming debate at 2006 Lebanon war, three days after someone using the email redacted suggested that he would do just that while calling for back-up from fellow editors in this group of documents here, I'm concerned that you may be engaged in canvassing and meat-puppetry. I would like to therefore ask you, if redacted is in fact an email address that you use? Thanks. Tiamut talk 15:34, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

That I appreciate your comments & your attempt to defend yourself on this page. I too was banned for editing Israel/Pal conflict articles for a whole year, apparently based on my membership in the Israpedia group which I did not dispute. I did nothing wrong, but that has not prevented them from banning me. They will shortly ban me from this pageas wll because they believe I have talked enough, even though no one has addressed any of my points or told me exactly what action I have been banned for.

This whole Isra-pedia affair has had a damaging effect on pro-Israel editors' public image, and especially on CAMERA's public image on Wikipedia. I do not know if you are guilty or innocent of the charges against you, but you are generally a very good editor, at least in comparison to the other alleged lobbyist editors and certainly in comparison to the anti-Israel editors quoted on

This arbitration case has been closed and the final decision is available at the link above. Mere membership by an editor in some external group that has been involved in violations of policy is not actionable without evidence that the editor has some personal involvement in said violations. Sanctions previously imposed are confirmed. An amnesty is extended towards any editors who may have been involved in this external group and who have not been sanctioned for their participation in it. This is coupled with an expectation that these editors will not participate in similar efforts in the future. Members of the community who may have information regarding similar efforts by external groups to unduly influence our content are urged to forward that information to the Committee for review.

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!
