Electronic Intifada

You are correct - my apologies. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Snipanlol (talkcontribs) 08:06, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

BDS

I'm going through all the sources for the material you added. It all looks like original research. I'm probably going to end up removing it all. Can you have a look for some secondary sources that cover how the BDS campaign uses Christmas ? There must be some out there somewhere. It needs to be a secondary source that does this kind of synthesis of primary source material and reports it, not us. Seriously, the edits you're making to articles covered by discretionary sanctions are POV pushing and you could end up having an Arbitration Enforcement report being filed against you. That would be a pity because I can see that you want to contribute, you spend time researching source material but you aren't using secondary sources. It's easily fixed if you just stick to reliable secondary sources. Sean.hoyland - talk 18:36, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

always appreciate the advice. is this a better source?: http://www.commentarymagazine.com/blogs/index.php/alana-goodman/384964
I don't know actually. It's a blog in partisan magazine (Commentary (magazine)) so it's not ideal per WP:SOURCES but it might be okay with attribution to the author. She seems to just be quoting NGO Monitor. You can check at the reliable sources noticeboard but it's not worth doing that until you know exactly what you want to use from the article. New reports/analyses in mainstream sources like Jpost etc are always better. I trawled through google looking for a site that is reporting about the campaign at Christmas rather than part of the campaign at Christmas. Not much luck so far. Although I did find a BBC piece from last year that is kind of related here. Trouble is, even though it's about a choir, and it was published on 21 December 2009, it doesn't mention Christmas... Sean.hoyland - talk 19:08, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
There is this from Nadia Hijab (Senior Fellow at the Institute for Palestine Studies in Washington D.C.) published by Agence Global...never heard of them but they are apparently 'a left-leaning news and commentary syndicate' whatever that is. the New York group Adalah decided to target diamond merchant Lev Leviev, whose profits are plowed into colonizing the West Bank. During the Christmas season, they sing carols with the words creatively altered to urge shoppers to boycott his Madison Avenue store. Sean.hoyland - talk 19:25, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
Israel today Magazine, All I want for Christmas...is a boycott of Israel. Sean.hoyland - talk 19:33, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
I think it's going to be difficult to find a decent secondary source that discusses BDS' Christmas campaigns. Even the BDS site itself doesn't seem to have anything about a campaign at the meta/overview level. If I were you, I would just replace all the material you added with the material from Commentary magazine attributed to Alana Goodman and see what happens. I won't remove it. Sean.hoyland - talk 19:47, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
ok, let's see what happens. Soosim (talk) 06:50, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

Re: Paamonim

Added a no refs template to the article. You are able to do this yourself-any user can, just as any user can nominate an article for speedy deletion if he/she believes it not to be worthy of space here.We hope (talk) 17:39, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

Boycotts of Israel

You should be aware that all articles related to the Arab-Israeli conflict, defined as: any article that could be reasonably construed as being related to the Arab-Israeli conflict, falls under 1RR. When in doubt, assume it is related.

  • Clear vandalism may be reverted without penalty.
  • Editors who violate this 1RR restriction may be blocked without warning by any uninvolved administrator, even on a first offense.

For further information, see WP:ARBPIA. — Malik Shabazz /Stalk 19:45, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

malik, my friend, sorry for never answering this one. i am well aware of this and have been for the almost 4 years i have been editing wikipedia. but thanks for pointing it out. and please feel free to let me know about other things like this - sometimes, they do slip by! thanks. Soosim (talk) 18:10, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

NGO Monitor

Sorry it was getting hard to follow who was adding and taking out what.Slatersteven (talk) 19:53, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

got it. whew. Soosim (talk) 05:06, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

the article about professor newman is a factual rticle about him. it is not an article to promote or criticise his viws on this or any other position. this is part of ongoing cyberterror which is being practiced by NGO monitor against anyone who has questioned their credentials and veracity. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.90.167.222 (talk) 12:02, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

On the NGO Monitor site, professor Stenberg falsely represents hinself as a Professor when he has never been able to get beyond the rank of Associate professor. there are strict and formal promotion processes at universitieis, based on academic criterion, and Steinberg remains an Associate, not a Full, professor —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.90.167.222 (talk) 12:06, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

Dear 194.90.167.222 - NGO Monitor's page on wikipedia is full of critical comments from across the spectrum including those who question their credentials and veracity. so, i don't think it fair to say that NGO Monitor practices cyberterrorism. also, if you can provide proof of professor steinberg's being an associate professor, that would be helpful. the reference sourced for his being a professor is the university where he teaches - i am sure that if it were not true, they themselves would not allow it to be there. thanks. Soosim (talk) 15:25, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

Need you to clarify

With this edit you seem to be restoring material to the article which is just adding an editorial opinion, in Misplaced Pages's voice. No references are provided in what you added. Can you clarify? This article is subject to the sanctions in WP:ARBPIA so we take its neutrality very seriously. Please respond at WP:AN3. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 18:48, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

hi ed,

that was NOT my edit. that was the one i was trying to revert. it was put there by newmanthfc. thanks and let me know if you need any further info. Soosim (talk) 19:35, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

Your message about NGO Monitor

Hello Soosim! Your recent edit on the NGO Monitor page is far too detailed for me to judge its validity, so I'll gladly leave that to other Wikipedians. However, the Reception part of the lemma clearly suggests that NGO Monitor is far from an undisputed, objective and/or reliable source. Hereticus obstinatus (talk) 19:17, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

Talkback

Hi Sooism - I've started a new section on the talk page of United Nations Fact Finding Mission on the Gaza Conflict in response to your recent edit - you might like to participate in the discussion. Pexise (talk) 20:02, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for your post to my talk page. It's a difficult one, since this appears to be an opinion piece and not news. Try the reliable sources noticeboard for more comments. Itsmejudith (talk) 16:11, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

Ackerman vs. J. Street

See note on J Street Talk Page M.boli (talk) 16:29, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

Goldstone

Hi Soosim: I see you are editing the Richard Goldstone article, your first edit seems fine to me (removing the word liberal - liberal is a difficult term anyway as it can mean a number of different things). I would say, though, that it's a good idea to outline changes on the talk page first, particularly if they could be controversial, to give other editors a chance to see the changes before you make them to the article. Thanks, Pexise (talk) 13:57, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

thanks pexise. i am trying to be very careful and will keep it clean...anything controversial will be discussed first, for sure. thanks again. Soosim (talk) 14:00, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

You seem to have been mucking around with the British Council entry in respect of the disruption of the Palestinian Literature Festival? Kindly desist. The British Consulate press statement on which you are basing their edits was premature I suspect. If you watch through the attached YouTube video link on the ATTEMPTED disruption of this event you will see clearly that it eventually DID GO AHEAD as planned in the scheduled tented village and was not in fact relocated to British Council premises as both you and British Council claim: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADhr2ododX4&feature=channel_video_title —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.3.231.118 (talk) 00:51, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

Copyright violations at J Street

Please don't copy and paste material from another site, as you did at J Street. Copyright violations will be deleted, and editors who repeatedly post copyrighted material despite warning may be blocked from editing. See WP:COPYVIO for further information. Thank you. — Malik Shabazz /Stalk 05:02, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

x-man malik, chill out, please. whatever was "copied" was directly sourced. it's called being honest and transparent. it was not gobs of material, but a sentence or two, as permitted. see WP:FU. i appreciate your desire to warn me (and others) about posting copyrighted material - it is very important. but here it is not the case. also, i ask you to Misplaced Pages:Self-revert#Self-revert the changes you made to my edits. thanks. Soosim (talk) 06:49, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
Sourcing isn't the issue: copying and pasting is. It doesn't matter that it has a footnote at the end of the sentence, you can't copy somebody else's language and put it in Misplaced Pages.
I'll self-revert if you'll rewrite the material in your own words. — Malik Shabazz /Stalk 06:57, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

GOCE / Mid-drive newsletter

Guild of Copy Editors March 2011 backlog elimination drive

Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors March 2011 Backlog elimination drive! Here is your mid-drive newsletter.

Participation
GOCE March 2011 backlog elimination drive progress graphs

So far, 79 people have signed up for this drive. Of these, 64 have participated. Interest is high due to a link to our event from the Watchlist page, and many new and first-time copy editors have joined us for the drive. If you signed up for the drive but haven't participated yet, it's not too late! Try to copy edit at least a few articles. Remember, if you have rollover words from the last drive, you will lose them if you do not participate in this drive. If you haven't signed up for the drive yet, you can sign up now. Many thanks to those editors who have been helping out at the Requests page. We have assisted in the promotion of seven articles to Good article status so far this month.

Progress report

We have already achieved our target of reducing the overall backlog by 10%; however, we have more work to do with the 2009 backlog. We have almost eliminated May 2009 and we only have some 700 articles left from 2009. It is excellent progress, so let's concentrate our fire power on the remaining months from 2009. Thank you for participating in the March 2011 drive. We anticipate it will be another big success!

Utahraptor resigns

The Utahraptor has decided to step down from his position as project coordinator due to real-life issues.

Talkpages

Hi! You can start discussion threads on talkpages by clicking the "New section" tab when in the discussion page of a Misplaced Pages article. I started one on the Reut institute. Cheers, --Dailycare (talk) 21:07, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

your suggestion

very appropriate idea. I will work on it. I'll check back and let you know.I.Casaubon (talk) 19:18, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

The world needs better NGO's. HRW doesn't appear to know the difference between a Sunni and a Shia in Bahrain. And doesn't even issue an annual report for the Palestinian Authority. Someone needs to do that. I.Casaubon (talk) 16:27, 7 April 2011 (UTC)
yep. unfortunately, hrw is the 'gold standard' - they do many good things, but sometimes just miss out. maybe one day.... Soosim (talk) 16:33, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

GOCE drive newsletter

Guild of Copy Editors March 2011 backlog elimination drive report

Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors March 2011 Backlog elimination drive. Thank you for participating in the March 2011 drive! This newsletter summarizes the March drive and other recent events.

Participation
GOCE March 2011 backlog elimination drive progress graphs

There were 99 signups for the drive; of these, 70 participated. Interest was high mainly due to a link to our event from the Watchlist page. We had a record-breaking 84 articles listed on the Requests page in March; 11 of these have been promoted to Good article status so far. Several of our recent efforts have received Featured Article status as well, and the GOCE is becoming a solid resource for the Misplaced Pages community. Many thanks to editors who have been helping out at the Requests page and by copy editing articles from the backlog.

Progress report

Remarkable progress was made in reducing the backlog this month, as we now have fewer than 500 articles remaining from 2009. We are well under the 4,000-article mark for the total number remaining in the queue. Since our backlog drives began in May 2010 with 8,323 articles, we have cleared more than 53% of the backlog. A complete list of results and barnstars awarded can be found here. Barnstars will be distributed over the next week. If you enjoyed participating in our event, you may also like to join the Wikification drives, which are held on alternate months to our drives. Their April drive has started.

New coodinators

On March 21, SMasters appointed Chaosdruid (talk) and Torchiest (talk) as Guild coordinators to serve in place of The Utahraptor, who recently stepped down. Please feel free to contact any coordinator if you have any questions or need assistance.

Speedy deletion declined: Miguel Ángel Toma

Hello Soosim. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Miguel Ángel Toma, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: The article makes a credible assertion of importance or significance, sufficient to pass A7. Thank you. Salvio 14:44, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

The article is about a person who's been Deputy and Secretary of Intelligence; if you believe he is not notable enough, you can nominate the article for deletion using WP:AFD or, alternatively, WP:PROD. Speedy deletion is only for extremely unremarkable people, such as John Does is my bestest friend in the whole world. you rock, john. That said, per WP:NOENG it's not necessary for an article to only have sources written in English (though this article has no sources, that's true). Cheers, Salvio 14:49, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
salvio - as i said, it was reluctant! if it is ok with 'others' (you!), then it is fine with me. no problema, y puedo hablar en espanol, pero..... Soosim (talk) 14:53, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
Yo también; pero, solo un poquito, porque soy Italiano... That said, I think that Tristán Bauer's article cannot be speedied per A7, due to various assertions of importance, such as his work has received several international awards and Bauer serves, from 2007 as the director of the Public Media System of Argentina. He has been responsible of the creation of Argentina's Ministry of Education Canal Encuentro TV network and is a member of the Board of Directors of the pan-Latin American network teleSUR. Salvio 15:22, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

April 2011

These three edits strongly resemble canvassing. Please follow Misplaced Pages's user conduct guidelines; it isn't the end of the world if you don't get your paragraph into the article. Roscelese (talkcontribs) 16:20, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

no canvassing. just asking other editors in a public forum to look at my work and see why cjcurrie deleted it (as he often does to my stuff). i sometimes get 'gun shy' and wanted to know what others thought. next time i will ask you too, since you are now in my 'stable' and i appreciate the help and advice you can give me. thanks. Soosim (talk) 16:40, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
The problem with those notifications was that a) it looks like they were directed only at users who have demonstrated a particular POV on this issue, rather than users with differing opinions and b) your description bordered on a request that they add the information back in, rather than a neutral notification of what was going on. In future, when looking for outside help, may I suggest that you post to WikiProjects, such as Misplaced Pages:Palestine and Misplaced Pages:Israel? (However, your first step should have been to discuss the issue on the talk page of one or more of the articles, or to ask the user who removed the information what zie saw as wrong with it.) Roscelese (talkcontribs) 19:07, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

Re your insistence that other users take it to the talkpage: the burden is on the user who adds material, ie. you. You are obliged to justify its inclusion - you should begin the talkpage discussion. Roscelese (talkcontribs) 07:10, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

Thank you

Thank you, Soosim, for your very valuable input at AE. You provided a difference that speaks for itself. Best wishes.--Mbz1 (talk) 15:57, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

no problem. i don't think we have ever 'met' - you are the second editor in the last few days, whom i haven't met before, to make a similar comment. thank you and i look forward to seeing you in the 'edit history'.... Soosim (talk) 17:16, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

copy/paste

This looks like a copyright violation and probably needs rewriting. Sean.hoyland - talk 09:42, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

cool. re-written. thanks sean! Soosim (talk) 11:11, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

By way of an update ...

This will likely be of interest. CJCurrie (talk) 08:30, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

Hi I have replied threat to edit articles in the thread at the BLP noticeboard here. Off2riorob (talk) 17:51, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

Copyrights

Malik Shabazz knows what he's doing when he reverts your edits. He is an admin. Realize that even paraphrasing can constitute a copyright violation, you know. We do not tolerate them.Jasper Deng (talk) 04:44, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

jasper - thanks. i tried to rewrite it a couple of times, but then he called me a 'jackass'. i guess he really does know what he is doing?!! Soosim (talk) 06:31, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
Paraphrasing, which rewriting is, is still not enough, and admins can get really frustrated over you adding this repeatedly.Jasper Deng (talk) 17:57, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
it wasn't added repeatedly, but rather, it was re-written and then added. that is, it wasn't like i was edit warring and just putting back the same content each time. rather, i gave it an earnest shot at a rewrite. ok, it's over. but thanks. Soosim (talk) 18:00, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
After rewrite, it can be still considered the same copyvio.Jasper Deng (talk) 18:00, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

The Golden Rule

This rule states that expect what you do to others to be done to yourself. In addition, there is another saying "One pointed finger equals three pointed back." Keep those in mind when trying to make a big commotion with Malik Shabazz.Jasper Deng (talk) 04:04, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

i will happily have people point at me. i will happily stand behind anything i have ever said or edited. i never hvae used such vulgar language as malik has, nor have i done the type of things that he has. sorry, can't compare 3:1. Soosim (talk) 04:07, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
Admins typically use mild incivility if they are frustrated, and yes, they can be easily frustrated by copyright violations. It does not warrant a block though. I have told Malik Shabazz that he/she knows better than that, and that should be enough.Jasper Deng (talk) 04:21, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
well, if admins 'typically' use vulgarity and resort to personal attacks and name calling, then they should be blocked, removed and never allowed to be here. zero tolerance. really unacceptable. human kindness is the most important part of human interaction. Soosim (talk) 05:56, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
With that said, your conduct wasn't much better (copyright violations). Trust me, I've seen way worse than that here.Jasper Deng (talk) 17:25, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

Mikis Theodorakis

I assume it was inadvertent, but noticed you deleted someone else's comments on Talk:Mikis Theodorakis. Just wanted to note it is almost never acceptable to revert a talk page comment. As for the substance of what you were debating, I agree that Jerusalem Post is a reliable source, and said so at WP:BLPN. Jonathanwallace (talk) 20:22, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

i did? certainly not on purpose. didn't even see that i did. sorry. will check history and try to fix. Soosim (talk) 22:00, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
OK, no problem. By the way, I re-added the content you were trying to include in the article, with additional sources. There is also significant support for its inclusion at WP:BLPN right now. Jonathanwallace (talk) 22:05, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

Mikis Theodorakis - BLPN

note FYI - your contributions have been mentioned at the BLPN here http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons/Noticeboard#Mikis_Theodorakis - note - please stop reverting and move to discussion. Off2riorob (talk) 20:49, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

GOCE drive newsletter

The Guild of Copy Editors – May 2011 Backlog Elimination Drive


The Guild of Copy Editors invite you to participate in the May 2011 Backlog Elimination Drive, a month-long effort to reduce the backlog of articles that require copy-editing. The drive began on May 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and will end on May 31 at 23:59 (UTC). The goals of this backlog elimination drive are to eliminate as many articles as possible from the 2009 backlog and to reduce the overall backlog by 15%. ! NEW ! In an effort to encourage the final elimination of all 2009 articles, we will be tracking them on the leaderboard for this drive.

Awards and barnstars
A range of barnstars will be awarded to active participants. Some are exclusive to GOCE drives. More information on awards can be found on the main drive page.

We look forward to meeting you on the drive! Your GOCE coordinators: SMasters, Diannaa, Tea with toast, Chaosdruid, and Torchiest

Artists Against Apartheid

Just to let you know I've declined your speedy request as I feel there is enough to identify the subject. I'm not sure if A7 would cover it, so I'd suggest PROD for notability. Peridon (talk) 13:02, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

michael lucas

Hello and thank you for the note you left me about the section that already exists. I just wanted to let you know I appreciate it and put my info in that section. --BlackNYer (talk) 00:10, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

Mikis Theodorakis

Hi Sooism, I just wanted to alert you to a change I made to Mikis Theodorakis involving the antisemitic comments he made on Greek television. The matter was discussed on the BLP/N some time ago, and it was clear then that we cannot restate the inaccurate phrasing of the JP regarding the notion that Theodorakis said "I'm antisemitic." As far as I know, he never said that. Indeed, on his website he says vehemently that he is not antisemitic. Anyway I rephrased the information. Do I agree that his comments were an example of antisemitism? Yes, but that is a far cry from him self-identifying as an antisemite. I hope my change is OK. Cheers.Griswaldo (talk) 15:24, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

terrific! thanks. well done. Soosim (talk) 16:08, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
