ReferenceJust FYI, User:Hajji Piruz is now using your name as a reference [2] to bring further accusations against myself with or without a basis. Thanks. Atabek 06:18, 14 June 2007 (UTC) okHello. I know I am not 100% innocent. How much can a guy take before he snaps? I'm sure there are instances where I have gotten frustrated and said somethings, I acknowledge, and am looking forward to your statements. I am confident in the evidence I have compiled, and I have made a ton of good contributions to Wikipedia (I am an active member of 3 Wikiprojects, I have created 40+ articles, 3 categories, two templates, made good contributions to several more). I am confident that if I present my case well, post all of my evidence, the administrators will see that it was Atabek who has gotten me to do the things I did, because he kept pushing me and pushing me. This goes back months Tariq, its not a new developement. I've been constantly pushed, I really cant take it anymore. If we go to arbcom, then we'll settle it there, even if the admins decide to ban us both (but again, I am confident in the evidence I have). I will post all the evidence regarding Atabek's disruptive behavior, against me and other users, to show that its not only me that he does this to and that its his general behavior. I appreciate your concern, but I really cant take it anymore. If we're both banned, the so be it, but I'm confident that the admins will see that what I do on Wikipedia in terms of behavior makes me look like an angel compared to what Atabek does, but I could be wrong. Thanks again. Looking forward to our next chat. Hajji Piruz 15:22, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
24h block of Sideshow Bob?Excuse me for objecting administrator, but I think you have made a mistake. User:Sideshow Bob did not violate the 3RR rule. -- PaxEquilibrium 21:30, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
Harrassment against italiansI wonder why I have been blocked after facing a continuous harrassment by two nationalistic montenegrins. Please, go to http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Venetian_Albania&diff=next&oldid=139034735. As you can see, I corrected adding a Paulucci reference to the article (and cancelling a phrase related to the word "veneta" that was repeated), with my request that only the administrators should add and/or remove tags. I was writing an article about the venetian dominions in coastal Montenegro (and the romance populations who lived and still live there) translating it initially from the italian wikipedia, when on june 16 a montenegrin nationalist named Paxequilibrium arbitrarily and without explications placed a tag on it. Since then it has been a nightmare because of him and his friends against my writings. They placed tags and cancellations without ever writing anything on the article. I have requested the intervention of an impartial administrator in order to deal with their fascist nationalism and harrassment against a minority (the venetian speaking people of the Bay of Kotor/Cattaro) who has "disappeared" in the last two centuries in a way that reminds the ethnic cleansing. They (the nationalist montenegrins) want to erase even the memory of these venetian speaking people! Allow me to give you my last post in the "discussion" of the article, in order to explain better the harrassment: .."..I have contacted the headquarters of Wikimedia/Wikpedia in Florida. I am the one who is writing something on the article:all the problems are being created by the continuous cancellations of Paxequilibrium and others. By the way: until now NOTHING has been written by these nationalists in the article. They only "tag and cancel" in perfect "communist Tito-style". Initially Paxequilibrium even wrote that "I don't think that this subject deserves an independent article", but now he accepts that the article can exist as in the italian and german wikipedias......He even wrote that I was "blatantly assuming all Roman Catholic Christians automatically as Italians", while I never wrote about the catholicism in my article. And he, with Sideshow Bob, deny all the data from books that I have referred in the "voice". Here it is a list: Will Durant in his book The Renaissance (..The dominions of Venice in the Adriatic sea are even related to the relationship of this italian city with the romance speaking populations in Dalmatia..) Matteo Bartoli in his book Le parlate italiane della Venezia Giulia e della Dalmazia.(...These villages looked to Venice even for protection and around them the Venetians started to create their dominions in Dalmatia...) Luigi Paulucci in his book "Le Bocche di Cattaro nel 1810" (..the population of the Albania veneta, during the centuries of the Republic of Venice, was mainly venetian speaking (aproximately 66%) in the urban areas (Cattaro, Perasto, Budua, ecc..) around the "Bocche di Cattaro" (Bay of Kotor).But in the inland areas more than half of the population was serbocroatian speaking, after the first years of the eighteenth century....) Diego De Castro in his book Dalmazia, popolazione e composizione etnica. Cenno storico sul rapporto etnico tra Italiani e Slavi nella Dalmazia. (...in the austrian census of 1910, the italians were reduced to only 13.6% in Cattaro..) The linguist Matteo Bartoli in "Le parlate italiane della Venezia Giulia e della Dalmazia". (...The "disappearance" of the italian speaking populations in Dalmatia was nearly complete after WWII. The linguist Matteo Bartoli calculated that the italians were 33% of the Dalmatian population during the napoleonic wars, while actually there are only 300 italians in the croatian dalmatia and 500 italians in coastal Montenegro....) Scaglioni Marzio in "La presenza italiana in Dalmazia 1866-1943" (...During the nineteenth century, according to the historian Scaglioni Marzio, the wars of independence of Italy from the Austro-Hungarian empire created a situation of harrassment against the italian (or venetian speaking) communities in the austrian southern dalmatia. The result was that in 1880 there were in Cattaro, according to the austrian census, only 930 ethnic italians (or only 32% of a total population of 2910 people)....) Finally, I want to repeat "..I DON'T SEE ANY DATA & REFERENCE AGAINST THE VOICE. There are some books (bibliography) that deny the "Albania veneta"? There are academic sources against what I wrote? Brunodam.." I am afraid I am in the middle of the usual balkan nationalistic wars that damage wikipedia. That is why I request the intervention of an impartial admministrator (and I hope he is not going to be a "friend" of Paxequilibrium). Anyway, whatever he decides will be good to me: the wikipedia headquarters (Jimbo and others) have been notified. --Brunodam 19:57, 18 June 2007 (UTC)....." With my best regards.

Advice on Ethnic minorities in IranI would appreciate your opinion on a clash of editorial styles on Ethnic minorities in Iran. I have tried to condense the article by paraphrasing quotes and including more descriptive text, while maintaining most of the original points (those I deleted were misquotations). However, one user claims I am being disruptive for allegedly deleting too much of the article. Could you compare the different versions and give an opinion: [4]. There are also POV problems which I am attempting to address on the talk page. I am hoping these can be dealt with through dialogue.-- الأهواز | Hamid | Ahwaz 22:14, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
I am being reverted again on this article [5] [6], despite adding in sourced information (including UN General Assembly and European Parliament resolutions). It is clear that some users don't want to engage in discussion on this and are blind reverting anything and everything I add. I again appeal to you to advise me on how I deal with this de facto block on my editing of Iran-related articles. I am not asking for you to block anyone. I just want to know how I can move beyond this block on me adding sourced, verifiable and relevant material to articles.-- الأهواز | Hamid | Ahwaz 18:50, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

There was initially another dispute on this article. I received no answer from the talk page by editors . I waited 2 days got no response to my talk page comments, so I modified to my version. It is now up to them to explain why it should be changed to their version. After my edit it took only minutes to revert from my version, followed by sock puppetry from above accounts the next day. I hope you can do something, this vandalism is quite frustrating. Hetoum I 00:16, 20 June 2007 (UTC) Well saidI just have to say, reading over your Armenia-Azerbaijan arbcom statement, that you have explained the cause of many of Wikipedia's conflicts very well.

Harrassment against italians 2Allow me to write a second message. I still wonder why I was blocked 24 hours last 06/18/07: I was writing an article about the venetian dominions in coastal Montenegro (and the romance populations who lived and still live there) translating it initially from the italian wikipedia, when on june 16 a montenegrin nationalist named Paxequilibrium (who seems to have other wilipedia names: Holyromanempire, CrnaGora, etc...) and without explications placed a tag on it. Since then it has been a nightmare because of him and his friends against my writings. They placed tags and cancellations without ever writing anything on the article. I have requested the intervention of an impartial administrator in order to deal with their fascist nationalism and harrassment against a minority (the venetian speaking people of the Bay of Kotor/Cattaro) who has "disappeared" in the last two centuries in a way that reminds the ethnic cleansing. But they behaved quickly using the "tactic" of 1) making me fall in the 3RR rule and then 2) use the hacker method of stealing my IP and create a "Dalmata" sockpuppet. You probably know that an "emerging gang of wrongdoers called “bot-herders” hijack other people's computers, stitch them together in a “botnet” and use them to send spam, steal data or disrupt the internet" Please, see article on http://www.economist.com/world/international/displaystory.cfm?story_id=9375697 What do I have to do now? I don't want to reverse anything in the article "Albania veneta"....or can I? It is clear that a "gang of editors" have taken ownership of the articles on the Dalmatian coast and are unwilling to have anyone step on their territory and edit their articles. 3RR stacking is used while there is a blank refusal to engage in any serious discussion. In the past I have tried to fight it and have been blocked. Now I am trying my best to remain within the rules of Wikipedia (It seems the problem is happening a lot of times in wikipedia....). Another italian (named Giovanni Giove) is suffering the same harrassment by this group of nationalistic serbocroatian. Sincerely -- Brunodam 03:33, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
URU URU salaam KI
The above quote suggests that the place determinative is for uru-sa-lim. More likely its a reduplication URU URU ___ KI meaning "peace" det. the place of places. That suggests that it was at one time the northern border of the dijadi which was moved north in the Time of Thutmosis I to the city of Kadesh in the mountains. (This was originally a Phoenician city (Gades - Cadiz, Carthage, Kodesh) which was a city of refuge on the border of Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Israel before any of those existed as countries. Like Kadesh Jerusalem may have had the same function as a refuge city and also as a place where people would feel safe to meet for purposes of trade. In the 18th Dynasty the border between retnu (the watershed of the Orantes) and the dijadi (the watershed of the Jordan) was at the common headwaters of the Orantes, Litani and Jordan whose mountain watersheds people still fight over today. The Akkadian name should go first since thats the name of the place in its earliest history, even after it becomes part of an Egyptian province in the 18th and 19th Dynasty as referenced in the Amarna letters.

[ Jerusalem&diff] See discussion page on your dispute. Jerusalem and other pages I have been editing have a lot of things right but their history and origins pages have a hole a couple of millenia wide. I saw the same thing in Arabia. There's history all over the place but if it predates the current attitudes and values it just gets bulldozed out of the way. Reverting the addition of references that are cited book and page on the grounds the addition of references constitutes original research makes no sense to me, can you explain?

ban for User:TajikHello. I complained to several admins about the ban they placed on User:Tajik. He is being accused of being user:Tajik-Professor. I know for a fact that that is not him. User:Tajik has been on Wikipedia for 3 years and is the best contributer I have seen, just look at his awards and his record. User:Tajik-Professor also lives in Germany and that is why his IP is in the same range, but the admins looked more carefully they would see their IPs are not the same. Also, User:Tajik-Professor if you check my talk page you can see he asked me for help. Obviously User:Tajik who is a veteran editor wouldn't be asking me for help and other easy things like how to open an article! You can see that here. So please take a look at this and review this again because its very obvious once you see this and we need User:Tajik on Wikipedia, he is the best editor that I know of, so please do look into this. It is whats best for the Encyclopedia and I am very concerned about the articles without him. Thank you. -- Behnam 21:56, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
But if you check his talk page/block log, it shows that the reason he was banned was because he was prematurely accused of being user:Tajik-Professor. Please check his block history here. It says, "Tajik, the determination was made based on a CheckUser result, which showed that it was highly likely that both User:Tajik-Professor and other anons are you based on IP evidence. Dmcdevit·t 01:23, 17 May 2007 (UTC)". If the reason provided by the admin for his ban is false than that ban is illegitimate don't you think? -- Behnam 03:32, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Since then it has been a nightmare because of him and his friends against my writings. They placed tags and cancellations without ever writing anything on the article. I have requested the intervention of an impartial administrator in order to deal with their fascist nationalism and harrassment against a minority (the venetian speaking people of the Bay of Kotor/Cattaro) who has "disappeared" in the last two centuries in a way that reminds the ethnic cleansing. But they behaved quickly using the "tactic" of 1) making me fall in the 3RR rule and then 2) use the hacker method of stealing my IP and create a "Dalmata" sockpuppet. You probably know that an "emerging gang of wrongdoers called “bot-herders” hijack other people's computers, stitch them together in a “botnet” and use them to send spam, steal data or disrupt the internet" Please, see article on http://www.economist.com/world/international/displaystory.cfm?story_id=9375697 What do I have to do now? I don't want to reverse anything in the article "Albania veneta"....or can I? It is clear that a "gang of editors" have taken ownership of the articles on the Dalmatian coast and are unwilling to have anyone step on their territory and edit their articles. 3RR stacking is used while there is a blank refusal to engage in any serious discussion. In the past I have tried to fight it and have been blocked. Now I am trying my best to remain within the rules of Wikipedia (It seems the problem is happening a lot of times in wikipedia....). Another italian (named Giovanni Giove) is suffering the same harrassment by this group of nationalistic serbocroatian. Sincerely -- Brunodam 03:33, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
URU URU salaam KI
The above quote suggests that the place determinative is for uru-sa-lim. More likely its a reduplication URU URU ___ KI meaning "peace" det. the place of places. That suggests that it was at one time the northern border of the dijadi which was moved north in the Time of Thutmosis I to the city of Kadesh in the mountains. (This was originally a Phoenician city (Gades - Cadiz, Carthage, Kodesh) which was a city of refuge on the border of Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Israel before any of those existed as countries. Like Kadesh Jerusalem may have had the same function as a refuge city and also as a place where people would feel safe to meet for purposes of trade. In the 18th Dynasty the border between retnu (the watershed of the Orantes) and the dijadi (the watershed of the Jordan) was at the common headwaters of the Orantes, Litani and Jordan whose mountain watersheds people still fight over today. The Akkadian name should go first since thats the name of the place in its earliest history, even after it becomes part of an Egyptian province in the 18th and 19th Dynasty as referenced in the Amarna letters.

The primary source is not the blog post, its ANE 2 discussion list, a monitored academic list server. If you aren't familiar with the server, the names, or the issue there is little left to say. Rktect 01:32, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
[ Jerusalem&diff] See discussion page on your dispute. Jerusalem and other pages I have been editing have a lot of things right but their history and origins pages have a hole a couple of millenia wide. I saw the same thing in Arabia. There's history all over the place but if it predates the current attitudes and values it just gets bulldozed out of the way. Reverting the addition of references that are cited book and page on the grounds the addition of references constitutes original research makes no sense to me, can you explain?

On civility.I don't appreciate you dismissing offhand my objection to the impugning of my motives as "just my imagination." Your edit summary was not at all civil and I think you know this. Italiavivi 01:55, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
ban for User:TajikHello. I complained to several admins about the ban they placed on User:Tajik. He is being accused of being user:Tajik-Professor. I know for a fact that that is not him. User:Tajik has been on Wikipedia for 3 years and is the best contributer I have seen, just look at his awards and his record. User:Tajik-Professor also lives in Germany and that is why his IP is in the same range, but the admins looked more carefully they would see their IPs are not the same. Also, User:Tajik-Professor if you check my talk page you can see he asked me for help. Obviously User:Tajik who is a veteran editor wouldn't be asking me for help and other easy things like how to open an article! You can see that here. So please take a look at this and review this again because its very obvious once you see this and we need User:Tajik on Wikipedia, he is the best editor that I know of, so please do look into this. It is whats best for the Encyclopedia and I am very concerned about the articles without him. Thank you. -- Behnam 21:56, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
But if you check his talk page/block log, it shows that the reason he was banned was because he was prematurely accused of being user:Tajik-Professor. Please check his block history here. It says, "Tajik, the determination was made based on a CheckUser result, which showed that it was highly likely that both User:Tajik-Professor and other anons are you based on IP evidence. Dmcdevit·t 01:23, 17 May 2007 (UTC)". If the reason provided by the admin for his ban is false than that ban is illegitimate don't you think? -- Behnam 03:32, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
