Politics of Khuzestan

You've been selectively removing and, transferring content on Politics of Khuzestan, Arabs of Khuzestan claiming that you're doing all this due "the result of the AfD". That's a false claim, "The result was Rename to Politics of Khuzestan and keep for now". . This is gaming the system, please revert all of your edits until a consensus has been reached on the discussion pages of related articles. --Mardavich 07:36, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

The result of the AfD was to keep the article, but to sort out POV issues, which I am doing. The proposer of the AfD argued that content should be reallocated to other articles that are more relevant and this was not contested by me or anyone else voting either to delete or to keep. In fact, you argued to merge the article with other articles! Nothing has been removed from Misplaced Pages, just reorganised and shortened. Changing the name of the article from Ethnic Politics of Khuzestan to Politics of Khuzestan obviously requires a different editorial approach, with some sections removed and some added.--الأهواز | Hamid | Ahwaz 11:52, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

If the content you are removing from Politics of Khuzestan is contentious (which it obviously is), I would recommend not transferring it into the Arabs of Khuzestan until the material has been discussed. While it needs excising from the politics article, a merge should be a considered blending of content, and not all content may be suitable. That said, bold changes can provoke a discussion, so provided it doesn't break out into an edit war I don't see anything wrong with the occasional bold merge. Yomangani 12:17, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Yomangani: I am trying to do one thing at a time; I don't have time to spend hours and hours on this. I have transferred content and once I've finished my edits to Politics of Khuzestan, I'll move onto the other articles and ensure that there is a blending of content that ensures balance. There is nothing to stop someone putting a POV tag on the Arabs of Khuzestan article in the mean time. I'd just ask for a bit of patience and when I've finished, no doubt there will be editors who will begin disputing!--الأهواز | Hamid | Ahwaz 12:23, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

I understand, my suggestion was meant to be helpful in avoiding those disputes in the meantime: you can always remove the information without transferring it over, as it will be available in the history for you transfer at a later date. Anyway, I'm not pushing you to work on it - I'd like to think of myself as disinterested party (otherwise I wouldn't have closed the AfD). Cheers, Yomangani 12:31, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Ahwaz, please revert yourself on Arabs of Khuzestan. You're simply transferring the POV ethnic content of Politics of Khuzestan into Arabs of Khuzestan without allowing other editors to discuss the issue. This is gaming the system, please revert all of your edits on Arabs of Khuzestan until a consensus has been reached on the discussion page. --Mardavich 12:40, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Why not just put a POV tag on the page, discuss the content and make changes to what has been added?--الأهواز | Hamid | Ahwaz 12:42, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

That's what you should be doing, your actions are not in sync with the result of the AfD. The consensus of the editors was not to move the POV bits of Politics of Khuzestan into other articles, creating a bigger problem. The renaming is not just a cosmetic procedure, please revert yourself on Arabs of Khuzestan. --Mardavich 13:03, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Mediation

Ok, first things first, please tell me what happened. Include as many other people as possible that I can also talk to in order to get a comprehensive understanding of the situation. Yankee Rajput 20:40, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

I noticed that you say "the great majority of Iranian Arabs, are descendants of the Aryans or the non-semitic indigenous peoples living on the Iranian plateau before the Aryans arrived" on User:Khorshid/Misconceptions. I would be interested to know if you have any sources to support this, as it is an issue that has generated considerable heated debate on the Arabs of Khuzestan article.--الأهواز | Hamid | Ahwaz 00:03, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

That article is by Zereshk, it was going to be deleted so I put it on my userpage. Khorshid 00:25, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Mediation II

Thanks for the information. Do you mind if I ask more questions later if needed? I am going to ask all parties now for their views. Yankee Rajput 01:18, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Thank you...

Salam Ahwaz, how are you doing? thanks a lot for reverting my user page. Jidan 13:03, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

I totally understand how you feel. The same thing happens to List of Arab scientists and scholars, Arabian Gulf, etc. If you have the time, you can open an arbitration (or whatever you call it) and pull as many neutral users as possible. I have put the articles you told me on my watchlist. Your info seems to get removed instantly by iranian nationlist. BTW, as time goes by, everybody will figure out that Wikiepdia contains a lot of rubish, specially in politic related articles. You shoud really think of making a website and posting your articles there, that way you will get the credit and nobody will revert it. Jidan 13:58, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
