You were involved in the discussion here. As an editor is willing to review this article for good article, but that is being blocked becasue of this discussion (the current stand is 3-1). Your input on this and how to resolve would be great so we can get a move on it getting reviewed for good article.

Thanks for the greeting. I thought we'd had some contact over Jean-Claude Kavumbagu but looking back at the article history, looks like I didn't make any contribution there, so it must have been somewhere else.

On 18 August 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article CPJ International Press Freedom Awards, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that CPJ International Press Freedom Awards recipients (1991 recipient Tatyana Mitkova pictured) have faced imprisonment, raids, and assassination? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/CPJ International Press Freedom Awards. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Hey Khazar.
I noticed that you are taking a leading role in administering and cleaning up the
Tony Scott page since his death.
In lieu of this, I'd like to bring to your attention to the issue of his date of birth. As you will note in the
talk page, the issue is a little bit murky.
I'll leave it in your good hands to either take the date off, or to let it remain.

Hi,
2 of my ITN nominations yesterday got posted. Sorry, I'm a bit new here, but I've noticed that there's a way for people to get credit, like a barnstar, on their wall.

Hey there,
I recall asking you how you fixed the date formatting in so many places on the 2012 Egyptian-Israeli border attack article. I was hoping it was some program. I believe you told me you did it manually.
Well, I found out about this script that does it for you. You can find out more about it here. But be careful, because you can run into problematic errors with it.

No doubt you're familiar with the fourth Geneva convention. (full text here)
I was sent a link to this page, which gives the Travaux préparatoires of the Geneva Conventions as published by the Swiss government. It's very interesting to read through, and helps you understand what the convention was about better and what they were referring to.
Anyway, do you know if we have an article on this? If not, I'd be interested in starting one - the only thing is, that website says it's very hard to find them, so I don't imagine we'd have too many reliable sources...

Hey Khazar,
I know you're on a wikibreak, but I though I'd share this with you (and whoever is watching :p). On 4 September the verdict of Bahrain Thirteen should be heard. Those are heavyweight Bahrain opposition and rights activists and include figures such as Abdulhadi al-Khawaja, Abduljalil al-Singace, Ibrahim Sharif, Abdulwahab Hussain and Hassan Mushaima. I was thinking we should create an article about them before that, since given their weight and how long the fool government of Bahrain is going to sentence them, this might as well be posted in ITN. They are also referred to as 21 or 14, but currently they're 13 and that is how an Amnesty article referred to them "Bahrain 13". Anyway, I've gathered sources here as usual and I'll see what I can do about it for now. Mohamed CJ (talk) 08:05, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
I applaud your extensive cleaning up of articles, but I'm puzzled by your purging of "half way" and "half-way". Perhaps Americans prefer to see these as a single word, but all three forms are common in British English. The OED puts the hyphenated form first. Dbfirs 07:13, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

I see you took the time to go through the Carmen Balcells article and changed the citation style from <ref>Ayén 2006</ref> to <ref name="Ayén 2006">Ayén 2006</ref>. I see the effect this has on the article, being more compressed in the reference section. But uglier, in my opinion. In WP:CITEVAR it clearly says not to change an established style.

Regarding recent removal of material from the Lowes article. I understand the WP:V policy, particularly WP:BURDEN, but you look like a veteran editor with some time available to help with WP. I think the readers of the encyclopedia would be better served if you spent time finding source rather than simply removing material that, on its face, appears to be valid. Have you considered spending some time finding sources, as suggested in WP:PRESERVE: "doing a quick search for sources and adding a citation yourself" before deleting it? -- Noleander ( talk) 17:56, 30 August 2012 (UTC) Regarding recent removal of material from the Lowes article.

I happened by your work at NewTek. When I reverted your edit I commented "Find sources, don't delete valuable content. Once you hide it on your one person's opinion, it is lost to everybody on the planet. Take some rsponsiblity and use Google." I don't want those words lost. I see you are a mega-editor with a history as an academic. Fine aspirations. But wholesale deletion of content does not help the world know. I'm pretty active on wikipedia myself. I know the junk people post on here. But you have to have some discretion about what is junk and what is accurate content, whether sourced or not. First of all, stick with what you know. If you don't know it, you are an academic, what do you do? You seek the answers to learn it yourself. Google or the myriad of other search engines are great sources of information. If it is junk, or advertising, of course get rid of it. But by deleting accurate information, you remove it from public view, nobody can build upon it. Nobody will be motivated to build upon it. I see you did the same damage to Macromedia HomeSite. I don't know a thing about the subject, but what you removed doesn't look the least bit dangerous, contentious or false. I will suggest when I do look up the sources, I'll find most of it is true. Something I suggest you should have done before you deleted the content. And you should do it in the future, before you delete any other massive chunks of content that other editors, perhaps far less educated in the ways of the wiki, but much more knowledgeable about the SUBJECT, have contributed. Before you continue on your edit a minute rampage, slow down. Before you do anything else, go back and repair the damage you have done to other articles. And consider the value of the edits you are seemingly making haphazzardly. A lot of people learn a lot of stuff from what we have here. You, as one person, are not always right, but alone you can certainly do the project wrong. Trackinfo ( talk) 03:55, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

On 21 August 2012, In the news was updated with a news item that involved the article 2012 Northern Mali conflict, which you recently substantially updated. If you know of another interesting news item involving a recently created or updated article, then please suggest it on the candidates page. |
I agree with all of what is said, but would like to say that I am going to close the Tuareg rebellion (2012) part of the conflict because it ended back in April. Since than it has been hijacked by the Islamists and this is a totally new conflict but part of the overall 2012 Northern Mali desert conflict or 2012 Northern Mali conflict or whatever, for which you created an article (great work by the way). But don't change the name of the article, Tuareg rebellion (2012), because, per the previous discussion, this conflict from January-April, was primarily Tuareg-led, the Islamists came in after the fact. Although most of the Ansar Dine guys are also, per sources, Tuaregs, just of the radical Islamic faith. In any case, the new 2012 northern Mali conflict should be the main article from here on out, being the main overview article. As far as the Tuareg one goes, it has ended. The Tuareg rebellion portion has ended back in early April. After that there was almost no fighting for three months until conflict erupted between the nationalist Tuaregs and the Islamist ones. That created a totally new conflict for which a new page should be created or at least enough information be added to the main article on the 2012 northern Mali conflict. I hope we agree?

HI Khazar2. I recently added some things to the Stephen Bradberry page, however you went in and deleted my edits, including a recent image of him I was granted permission to post via him and the photographer directly. While I appreciate your time creating and administering this page, I am a little concerned at why my edits would be deleted. I linked the info I posted and am a friend and associate of Stephen Bradberry who has worked with him in various capacities over the last 6 years. If there is something else I can do to ensure my edits are not changed or if there is a specific concern with the edits please let me know.

On 21 August 2012, In the news was updated with a news item that involved the article 2012 Northern Mali conflict, which you recently substantially updated. If you know of another interesting news item involving a recently created or updated article, then please suggest it on the candidates page. |
I agree with all of what is said, but would like to say that I am going to close the Tuareg rebellion (2012) part of the conflict because it ended back in April. Since than it has been hijacked by the Islamists and this is a totally new conflict but part of the overall 2012 Northern Mali desert conflict or 2012 Northern Mali conflict or whatever, for which you created an article (great work by the way). But don't change the name of the article, Tuareg rebellion (2012), because, per the previous discussion, this conflict from January-April, was primarily Tuareg-led, the Islamists came in after the fact. Although most of the Ansar Dine guys are also, per sources, Tuaregs, just of the radical Islamic faith. In any case, the new 2012 northern Mali conflict should be the main article from here on out, being the main overview article. As far as the Tuareg one goes, it has ended. The Tuareg rebellion portion has ended back in early April. After that there was almost no fighting for three months until conflict erupted between the nationalist Tuaregs and the Islamist ones. That created a totally new conflict for which a new page should be created or at least enough information be added to the main article on the 2012 northern Mali conflict. I hope we agree?

For Talk:Buchtar Tabuni, you had blp and living mixed up. I corrected the mistake here.
But, more importantly, you are using an outdated version of AWB that is over a year old. You can pick up the latest version here. Bgwhite ( talk) 19:37, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
AWB developers have officially released version 5.4. You can get it at SourceForge, here. You won't need to download a SVN version for awhile, unless you want to. Bgwhite ( talk) 04:35, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
HI Khazar2. I recently added some things to the Stephen Bradberry page, however you went in and deleted my edits, including a recent image of him I was granted permission to post via him and the photographer directly. While I appreciate your time creating and administering this page, I am a little concerned at why my edits would be deleted. I linked the info I posted and am a friend and associate of Stephen Bradberry who has worked with him in various capacities over the last 6 years. If there is something else I can do to ensure my edits are not changed or if there is a specific concern with the edits please let me know. Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Akarimorph ( talk • contribs) 23:04, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
For little Ms Khazar. Her daddy did a really good job with CPJ International Press Freedom Awards.
