Hey Tomer, hope you get back soon. Like you told me before: don't let trolls get to you. Cheers. -- Moritz 09:27, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
Hi Tomer - Geo-stubs are often being debated for possible further split at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Criteria, and I seem to have become a sort of de facto "keeper of the geo-stubs" (I did a lot of the initial splitting by countries, and have kept track of how many there are in many of the larger "grouped" geo-stubs need splitting into smaller regions. In the case of French Polynesia, over 30% of the Oceania stubs were from these, so it made sense to split it that way (splits tend to go ahead when a new category would have 60-80 stubs minimum). As to the name, the abbreviation would have been easier to use, but the wikiproject tends to avoid them in case they're ambiguous. Thanks for your offer of help, BTW - if you're willing to help move stubs between categories any time, the WikiProject criteria page I mentioned above is the best place to see what is being split and will need moving! Cheers, Grutness... wha? 07:21, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
Hi again - I think, since all the Marquesas are part of French Polynesia, those articles should just be marked with the Marquesas category, and that whole category should be a subcategory of the French Polynesia one, rather than the individual articles being linked directly to both categories. As to the threshold, that's not for categories overall, that's just for stub categories (and it's a guideline rather than a hard-and-fast rule), since stub categories are used by editors rather than general readers, there are different guidelines for them. There's no point having a stub category with only a handful of articles in it, and there's also no point having one that's so big that editors can't find what they want to edit, so the stub sorting wikiproject uses approximate guidelines of between about 60 and 600 articles as being reasonable size for a stub category that's going to be helpful to editors. If a stub category has over 600 items, we look to split it into more useful subcategories. If a potential category has under 60, it doesn't get made. That's why the oceania stubs were all in one category rather than having separate ones for all the individual countries. Grutness... wha? 08:57, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
I am extremely disgusted with your recent vandelism of good work on the antisemitism page; especially your erasure of scholarly links from the link section. I demand that at the very least you reinsert the links immediately!!! I will post this on the talk page as well. Sirkumsize 06:38, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
Okay, I'll bite. Yes, you probably would be a good candidate for rfa. You do seem to be a trouble-magnet, but that's partly the areas you work in (comments like the one immediately above here, for instance). You seem to remain calm in most situations, although a couple of them are a little bit of a worry ( Wikipedia:Administrators%27 noticeboard#Jayjg - Tshilo12, for instance, although The Unforgiven does seem trollish). Having looked at your edits, though, there's nothing that either my current partner's ancestry or my ex's would complain about (Alice's matrilineal line's surname is Rosenbrock - east London Jewish; Lisa's father - a Polish Catholic - spent WWII in Dachau). If you want to be nominated, I'd be happy to do so... oh, and what is the "Igor test"? Grutness... wha? 08:42, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
You voted at VFD on Authentic Matthew.
You said "Disputes about the additions to Matthew etc. go back to the time of the canonization of the NT".
I agree.
This is already discussed, or should be, at Biblical canon and Gospel of Matthew and Gospel of the Hebrews and Gospel of the Ebionites and Gospel of the Nazarenes.
But Authentic Matthew does not discuss this. It is an original research essay. All the worthwhile content (of which there was very little) has already been merged to the above articles, and the vast source text (which shouldn't go in articles anyway) is already at WikiSource.
I would appreciate it if you gave some thought to revisiting your vote. ~~~~ 20:03, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

Responded to your comment on my talk page. Kurt Weber 01:11, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
First of all, I'd like to say that I am sorry that the trolls are getting to you. That is one of the bigger problems on the Wikipedia (along with a few regular Wikipedia editors who are problem editors and revert warriors). The list of subject matter that seems to be "troll bait" on the Wikipedia seems to be rather large and growing. Sometimes even what I would have thought was the most innocent of topics can attract wackos, kooks and trolls.
As for Template:Sofixit: Although the rewrite is better, I would personally rather see it die and then be resurrected as something much kinder and gentler (and with a new, less snide name). My wording would be something like:
As far as I know, there isn't a really good page on the Wikipedia that presents the minimum Basic essentials for editing the Wikipedia, so that page may have to be created. I see that as something probably very similar to some of the {{ Welcome}} templates different users have created. The most important thing (and the biggest difference from the {{ sofixit}} template), is that at the end of the template it has the person adding the template go the extra step by offering to help. BlankVerse ∅ 07:23, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
Also, I agree with you idea that there really needs to be some basic GUIDE for editing on the Wikipedia. I can remember first making suggestions on article Talk pages because I was too intimidated to try to do the edits myself (and the editors on those pages were much too nice to use {{ sofixit}})). And then later trying to find out how to do things where you learned a little bit on one page, and then a little bit more on another page, and then you were referred to a page that explained absolutely everything you needed to know about XYZ as long as you already knew a little about ABC.
Well, this being a Wiki, the only way that page is going to be written is if you write it, or you and I write it. ;-) BlankVerse ∅ 08:02, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
Hey Grutness (do you have a less abrasive sounding name?), you may or mayn't have noticed I created Template:Wisc-stub and a corresponding Category:Wisconsin stubs, based off Texas-stub and the corresponding category. If that was completely out of line, please thwap me GENTLY.
OK, then, James. I think it should be pretty clear from the work Sasquatch and I have done, that the Wisconsin template is not meant to be a substub of US-midwest-geo-stub. I highly doubt that the time will ever come that there will be enough Wisconsin geo-stubs to ever support an independent geo-stub cat. That said, however, I don't think it's beyond belief to imagine that there are potentially sufficient stubs to warrant a separate Wisc-stub. That said, I only chose Wisc-stub instead of Wisconsin-stub bcz Wisc is basically univerally recognizable (for people who care, at least) as a shortened form of Wisconsin-stub and in that light, as a convenience to contributors, I went with it. In that light, while "Texas" is pretty-easily spelled, I would be willing to guess that the vast majority of Americans would be befuddled were they asked to spell "Wisconsin", to say nothing of "Massachusetts" (Massatwoshits), "Connecticut" (Conneddicut), "Tennessee" (Tennis Sea), and/or even "Rhode Island" (Road Island). Without going out of my way too far to belittle American typographiqueurs, nor wishing to stand trial for my belittling certain (Mass of Two Shits) states, so I chose to go with an abbreviation that is not only widely used, but almost universally recognized. Where do you live, btw? Kwinslund?

As far as the dates, I don't exactly remember my sources, but I found them with a google search.

Do you really think that it would just be prudent to warn people not to believe anything about Poland or Poland-related articles on WP? As an editor who has brought up more then 10 Polish-releted articles to FA (including fairly controversial subjects like Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, Polish-Soviet War, Władysław Sikorski, Polish September Campaign and History of Poland (1945-1989)) I cannot agree with such an accusation that Poland-related articles are biased. You are devaluating close to two years of my work, and many more by other contributors. Or are you implying that Polish-biased editors have taken over Peer Review, FAC and VfD sections? If you see bias in articles, there are ways to correct it - via editing preferably, VfDing and FARCing in other cases. If VfD or other voting goes not to your liking, please consider that it is not a global conspiracy targeting your views, but that possibility exists it was you who was in error. -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 18:32, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
Tomer, check your facts and edit history: 1) the edit you made was broken and didn't work - I see now for sure that you forgot a hyphen, but it's not my job to read your mind; 2) I am trying to deal with a 344 edit noob who doesn't understand how categories work, and has clogged the pedia with Copyvio articles.

The problem, of course, is that some railroads might travel through 20 states...and it is certainly undesirable to have a geographic stub for each state. And having a state-stub for a railroad is in any case terribly imprecise. Cheers, Fawcett5 04:23, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

Looking at the last vote Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Authentic Matthew 21d , 12k, 4m – I note that 4 of the ‘keep votes’ expressed a desire for a renaming. So that would indicate a 29-8 feeling that it was undesirable to have this article at this name. Is there room for an acceptable compromise? I’d like to move it to Possible origins of Matthew’s Gospel and place it the context of the real scholarly debate on Matthew. There would some overlap with both the Gospel of Matthew and Synoptic problem – but that I for one could live with. I could just ‘be bold’ and do this, but it is likely to be reverted, and I’m likely to get abuse, – so I’m looking for some agreement that this has a consensus – preferably from some of those who didn’t vote ‘delete’.

I think the term Indo-Iranian is just another way of claiming lineage. He responds to my last point acknowledging the Persians are the normal reference in general usage.

You did not respond to my message above, so I make a new section. Please, respond. As I see, you can understand Polish, so this article may be accessible and of interest for you. I guess you try to point out some of Polish myths, that are mentioned in the article, which I consider good. You insist on deleting or reducing anti-Polonism. What about writing more about exertions to stop anti-Polonism? It is perfectly within the topic and can make the article more NPOV. Alx-pl 10:28, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
Hello, I am still unsure about your attitude to the article anti-Polonism. I found recently this article in which Laurence Weinbaum (an Israelite historian from Jerusalem) admits that there are Israelites who resent Poles. (It's in Polish, but I can translate for you some portions.) I found also this interview where you can find an explicit mention of the word 'antypolonizm'. Note that the people who took part in the interview are people who did many efforts to make Polish-Jewish relations better - KS. MICHAŁ CZAJKOWSKI is a member of the International Oswiecim Board and STANISŁAW KRAJEWSKI is a member of Polish Jewish-Christian Board. I realise of course that the current content of the article is inacceptable.
I am also sorry for pointing to you these articles on Polish-Jewish relations, but these are the most credible Polish sources I know that mention 'antypolonizm' (in fact the sources are often labelled as Jewish by the Polish nationalists). Alx-pl 22:59, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
The kind of arguments you use means that it is not the meaning of the word anti-Polonism that makes you react like this but the anxiety caused by what may happen because of the people who edit the article. Am I right? Alx-pl 19:48, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
OK, I realise that the remaining 8% is the problem with the balance in the history section and general description. What do you think about the alternative approach that I proposed here. I know that your concerns are mainly due to the shape of the history section, but I regard my proposal as just a starting point. Alx-pl 20:18, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

Sure, no problem. If it's ok with you, I'd prefer if we didn't change the actual content of the vote, or the totals anymore, because that's what the bureaucrat took his descision on. I don't mind leaving a note that the totals were tallied wrong though.
This way, people looking at the page will know that we've made a change, will have a clue that they need to review the page history for a minute too.

Hi Tomer - Geo-stubs are often being debated for possible further split at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Criteria, and I seem to have become a sort of de facto "keeper of the geo-stubs" (I did a lot of the initial splitting by countries, and have kept track of how many there are in many of the larger "grouped" geo-stubs need splitting into smaller regions. In the case of French Polynesia, over 30% of the Oceania stubs were from these, so it made sense to split it that way (splits tend to go ahead when a new category would have 60-80 stubs minimum). As to the name, the abbreviation would have been easier to use, but the wikiproject tends to avoid them in case they're ambiguous. Thanks for your offer of help, BTW - if you're willing to help move stubs between categories any time, the WikiProject criteria page I mentioned above is the best place to see what is being split and will need moving! Cheers, Grutness... wha? 07:21, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
Hi again - I think, since all the Marquesas are part of French Polynesia, those articles should just be marked with the Marquesas category, and that whole category should be a subcategory of the French Polynesia one, rather than the individual articles being linked directly to both categories. As to the threshold, that's not for categories overall, that's just for stub categories (and it's a guideline rather than a hard-and-fast rule), since stub categories are used by editors rather than general readers, there are different guidelines for them. There's no point having a stub category with only a handful of articles in it, and there's also no point having one that's so big that editors can't find what they want to edit, so the stub sorting wikiproject uses approximate guidelines of between about 60 and 600 articles as being reasonable size for a stub category that's going to be helpful to editors. If a stub category has over 600 items, we look to split it into more useful subcategories. If a potential category has under 60, it doesn't get made. That's why the oceania stubs were all in one category rather than having separate ones for all the individual countries. Grutness... wha? 08:57, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

Okay, I'll bite. Yes, you probably would be a good candidate for rfa. You do seem to be a trouble-magnet, but that's partly the areas you work in (comments like the one immediately above here, for instance). You seem to remain calm in most situations, although a couple of them are a little bit of a worry ( Wikipedia:Administrators%27 noticeboard#Jayjg - Tshilo12, for instance, although The Unforgiven does seem trollish). Having looked at your edits, though, there's nothing that either my current partner's ancestry or my ex's would complain about (Alice's matrilineal line's surname is Rosenbrock - east London Jewish; Lisa's father - a Polish Catholic - spent WWII in Dachau).

You voted at VFD on Authentic Matthew.
You said "Disputes about the additions to Matthew etc. go back to the time of the canonization of the NT".
I agree.
This is already discussed, or should be, at Biblical canon and Gospel of Matthew and Gospel of the Hebrews and Gospel of the Ebionites and Gospel of the Nazarenes.
But Authentic Matthew does not discuss this. It is an original research essay. All the worthwhile content (of which there was very little) has already been merged to the above articles, and the vast source text (which shouldn't go in articles anyway) is already at WikiSource.
I would appreciate it if you gave some thought to revisiting your vote. ~~~~ 20:03, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

Responded to your comment on my talk page. Kurt Weber 01:11, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
First of all, I'd like to say that I am sorry that the trolls are getting to you. That is one of the bigger problems on the Wikipedia (along with a few regular Wikipedia editors who are problem editors and revert warriors). The list of subject matter that seems to be "troll bait" on the Wikipedia seems to be rather large and growing. Sometimes even what I would have thought was the most innocent of topics can attract wackos, kooks and trolls.
As for Template:Sofixit: Although the rewrite is better, I would personally rather see it die and then be resurrected as something much kinder and gentler (and with a new, less snide name). My wording would be something like:
As far as I know, there isn't a really good page on the Wikipedia that presents the minimum Basic essentials for editing the Wikipedia, so that page may have to be created. I see that as something probably very similar to some of the {{ Welcome}} templates different users have created. The most important thing (and the biggest difference from the {{ sofixit}} template), is that at the end of the template it has the person adding the template go the extra step by offering to help. BlankVerse ∅ 07:23, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
Also, I agree with you idea that there really needs to be some basic GUIDE for editing on the Wikipedia. I can remember first making suggestions on article Talk pages because I was too intimidated to try to do the edits myself (and the editors on those pages were much too nice to use {{ sofixit}})). And then later trying to find out how to do things where you learned a little bit on one page, and then a little bit more on another page, and then you were referred to a page that explained absolutely everything you needed to know about XYZ as long as you already knew a little about ABC.
Well, this being a Wiki, the only way that page is going to be written is if you write it, or you and I write it. ;-) BlankVerse ∅ 08:02, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
Hey Grutness (do you have a less abrasive sounding name?), you may or mayn't have noticed I created Template:Wisc-stub and a corresponding Category:Wisconsin stubs, based off Texas-stub and the corresponding category. If that was completely out of line, please thwap me GENTLY.
OK, then, James. I think it should be pretty clear from the work Sasquatch and I have done, that the Wisconsin template is not meant to be a substub of US-midwest-geo-stub. I highly doubt that the time will ever come that there will be enough Wisconsin geo-stubs to ever support an independent geo-stub cat. That said, however, I don't think it's beyond belief to imagine that there are potentially sufficient stubs to warrant a separate Wisc-stub. That said, I only chose Wisc-stub instead of Wisconsin-stub bcz Wisc is basically univerally recognizable (for people who care, at least) as a shortened form of Wisconsin-stub and in that light, as a convenience to contributors, I went with it. In that light, while "Texas" is pretty-easily spelled, I would be willing to guess that the vast majority of Americans would be befuddled were they asked to spell "Wisconsin", to say nothing of "Massachusetts" (Massatwoshits), "Connecticut" (Conneddicut), "Tennessee" (Tennis Sea), and/or even "Rhode Island" (Road Island). Without going out of my way too far to belittle American typographiqueurs, nor wishing to stand trial for my belittling certain (Mass of Two Shits) states, so I chose to go with an abbreviation that is not only widely used, but almost universally recognized. Where do you live, btw? Kwinslund?

Do you really think that it would just be prudent to warn people not to believe anything about Poland or Poland-related articles on WP? As an editor who has brought up more then 10 Polish-releted articles to FA (including fairly controversial subjects like Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, Polish-Soviet War, Władysław Sikorski, Polish September Campaign and History of Poland (1945-1989)) I cannot agree with such an accusation that Poland-related articles are biased. You are devaluating close to two years of my work, and many more by other contributors. Or are you implying that Polish-biased editors have taken over Peer Review, FAC and VfD sections? If you see bias in articles, there are ways to correct it - via editing preferably, VfDing and FARCing in other cases. If VfD or other voting goes not to your liking, please consider that it is not a global conspiracy targeting your views, but that possibility exists it was you who was in error. -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 18:32, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

The problem, of course, is that some railroads might travel through 20 states...and it is certainly undesirable to have a geographic stub for each state. And having a state-stub for a railroad is in any case terribly imprecise. Cheers, Fawcett5 04:23, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

Looking at the last vote Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Authentic Matthew 21d , 12k, 4m – I note that 4 of the ‘keep votes’ expressed a desire for a renaming. So that would indicate a 29-8 feeling that it was undesirable to have this article at this name. Is there room for an acceptable compromise? I’d like to move it to Possible origins of Matthew’s Gospel and place it the context of the real scholarly debate on Matthew. There would some overlap with both the Gospel of Matthew and Synoptic problem – but that I for one could live with. I could just ‘be bold’ and do this, but it is likely to be reverted, and I’m likely to get abuse, – so I’m looking for some agreement that this has a consensus – preferably from some of those who didn’t vote ‘delete’.

I think the term Indo-Iranian is just another way of claiming lineage. He responds to my last point acknowledging the Persians are the normal reference in general usage.

Thank you so much for the mazel tov! I truly appreciate it. After that RfA, I need a real vacation. :) See you 'round...stay in touch! - Lucky 6.9 20:05, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for your support on my recent RFA, and your nice comemnts, too. Please let me know if I can help you out with any administrative tasks, or if you have any problems with the use of the admin tools. It's been fun working with you on WP:WPWI. Cheers. -- Baron Larf 13:03, August 12, 2005 (UTC)
Food for thought: I've just stumbled across Category:Japanese television series, Category:Polish television series, and Category:German television series. As far as I know, English Wikipedia doesn't have categories for any other non-English-language television series. Should it? I'd consider only the Japanese series cat. notable, given that many Japanese cartoons end up in English-speaking countries. Aren't the others cruft? I'm questioning whether this is indeed en.wikipedia, despite the web address at the top of my browser. :\ HKT talk 22:06, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
I saw your edit summary on Tawbah ("there is no such thing as an Islamic phrase"). You might want to check out List of Islamic terms in Arabic. Thanks. freestylefrappe 00:25, August 11, 2005 (UTC)
I've responded on the Nablus page, although I'm a bit confused about what you're arguing for: The re-direction of the Shechem page to the Nablus page, the inclusion of Shchem with Nablus in the opening paragraph on equal footing, or both? Thanks Ramallite (talk) 01:49, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
Why did you move Wikipedia:Bible verses to an archive page, and then redirect the main page to the archive? The vote isn't even over. This makes no sense, I suggest undoing your move or at least commenting at the discussion page. Christopher Parham (talk) 04:13, 2005 August 11 (UTC)
I would also like an explanation. ~~~~ ( ! | ? | * ) 16:40, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

I have to take my hat off to you for your courageous offer. I think there is no change of –Ril- agreeing, but I salute your courage for trying. -- Doc (?) 12:01, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
Re: -Ril-'s counterproposal on his talk page: I have never once edited a single comment -Ril- has originally made on any article page. I don't intend to do so in the future. Obviously, I would agree to not edit any of -Ril-'s edits as long as he is not changing my edits. It is also obviously not part of the problem, but I would certainly agree to not edit his original edits. But even the proposal you made would not resolve any problem that any of the other editors have with him. Also note that he has gone beyond reverting and, on George W. Bush replaced my edit (and the one accepted) with one saying the opposite, but not germane to the issue. -Ril- knows how to play the game. -- Noitall 20:19, August 11, 2005 (UTC)

You did not respond to my message above, so I make a new section. Please, respond. As I see, you can understand Polish, so this article may be accessible and of interest for you. I guess you try to point out some of Polish myths, that are mentioned in the article, which I consider good. You insist on deleting or reducing anti-Polonism. What about writing more about exertions to stop anti-Polonism? It is perfectly within the topic and can make the article more NPOV. Alx-pl 10:28, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
Hello, I am still unsure about your attitude to the article anti-Polonism. I found recently this article in which Laurence Weinbaum (an Israelite historian from Jerusalem) admits that there are Israelites who resent Poles. (It's in Polish, but I can translate for you some portions.) I found also this interview where you can find an explicit mention of the word 'antypolonizm'. Note that the people who took part in the interview are people who did many efforts to make Polish-Jewish relations better - KS. MICHAŁ CZAJKOWSKI is a member of the International Oswiecim Board and STANISŁAW KRAJEWSKI is a member of Polish Jewish-Christian Board. I realise of course that the current content of the article is inacceptable.
I am also sorry for pointing to you these articles on Polish-Jewish relations, but these are the most credible Polish sources I know that mention 'antypolonizm' (in fact the sources are often labelled as Jewish by the Polish nationalists). Alx-pl 22:59, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
The kind of arguments you use means that it is not the meaning of the word anti-Polonism that makes you react like this but the anxiety caused by what may happen because of the people who edit the article. Am I right? Alx-pl 19:48, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
OK, I realise that the remaining 8% is the problem with the balance in the history section and general description. What do you think about the alternative approach that I proposed here. I know that your concerns are mainly due to the shape of the history section, but I regard my proposal as just a starting point. Alx-pl 20:18, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
Let me be a little bit more precise. What about the section The span and origins of anti-Polonism? Alx-pl 21:51, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for letting me know. I was in too much of a hurry (as usual). -- Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης) 10:18, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
I generally try to avoid doing anything that encourages people to think that bureaucrats have some sort of special authority beyond being able to perform promotions, but I'll leave a note somewhere and see if it helps. The Uninvited Co., Inc. 12:43, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
Sure, no problem. If it's ok with you, I'd prefer if we didn't change the actual content of the vote, or the totals anymore, because that's what the bureaucrat took his descision on. I don't mind leaving a note that the totals were tallied wrong though.
This way, people looking at the page will know that we've made a change, will have a clue that they need to review the page history for a minute too.
Would that be an ok compromise?

Dammit. I thought I was the one who had baited him. In other news, I think that we should continue to work on this RFC proposal page so that it can be presented to the powers that be, and he can be hardbanned. He's been nothing but a detriment from the day he first showed up. Tomer TALK 21:28, August 15, 2005 (UTC)

Hey. I was reading your user page, and you wrote:
I returned to UWEC in January of 2003 with the intention of completing a second degree, this time in Computer Science, in two years' time. This should be completed by June of 2005.
And now I'm curious: is it completed? Lizard Wizard 00:32, August 23, 2005 (UTC)
