| ==Sock puppet== | |||
| You look very much like a sock-puppet to me. Behaviour of this kind is just what some people want to see, since it enables them to make accusations against, and block, the people holding the opinions you claim to espouse. Please stop it immediately. The ] article will eventually be written in an encyclopedic fashion - but behaviour like yours is a serious obstruction, not a help. ] 10:18, 25 August 2007 (UTC) | |||

| :::: Saying you "look like a sock puppet" is not the same as saying "you are a sock puppet." Glad to clear that up for you. You are not following proper procedure. This is what is causing all the trouble. You not them. Clean up your act and follow procedure. ] 00:32, 20 September 2007 (UTC) | |||

| This is ridiculous. I didn't vandalize anything. I'm in the middle of moving content within, and adding content to, that page. ] 17:20, 26 August 2007 (UTC) | |||

| :Sorry man, I was a bit heavy-handed with the vandalism notices. I just thought you were a vandal deleting content in wikipedia. I'm really sorry. I deleted the wrongly-put notices.

| I neglected to thank you for the two edits you made to ], being and . They were both significant improvements to the article, congratulations. The last thing on my mind was to scare off someone doing such good work. However, the trickery that has occured on this article is huge - . Notice how it's become difficult even to read my section-starter, comments have been inserted into the middle of it and the indent pattern has been broken. Under these circumstances (and the that accompanies any possible link between critics of Israel and sock-puppets), you can understand my alarm at seeing what I took to be a suspicious person. I fear that your impressions of editing honestly on this topic have been permanently damaged by this affair, and I deeply regret it. My only consolation is that you'd almost certainly have been driven off, as happened to these two editors just in the same article and . Best Regards ] 11:14, 30 August 2007 (UTC) | |||

| ==Deletion nominations== | |||
| Hello. You've recently nominated ] and ] for deletion but given no explanation at their respective "articles for deletion" discussion pages: and . This makes the nominations, shall we say, incomplete. Could you please add that information? Thanks. ] 05:28, 18 September 2007 (UTC) | |||
| : I didn't realize I had to do anything besides nominate it for deletion and give the reason why. They seem to be relatively blatant self promotion. Well, it's pretty late here. Tomorrow I'll research whatever steps I missed and make the nominations more complete. ] 06:13, 18 September 2007 (UTC) | |||
| ::When nominating articles for deletion one should state a clear reason for that nomination. Merely tagging an article is not sufficient. ] 13:12, 19 September 2007 (UTC) | |||
| ::: I apologize. I had no idea it was such a difficult and exacting process. I have stated clear reasons why I nominated those articles for deletion. If you don't agree with my reasons, fine. ] 15:38, 19 September 2007 (UTC) | |||
| Did you wish to nominate ] as well, which is related to these two articles? If so you should nominate it. If not, you may wish to explain why in the deletion discussions. ] ] 19:58, 19 September 2007 (UTC) | |||
| : I didn't realize there was a ] article. I'm sorry, I don't have time to make another nomination. I already messed these two up by skipping some steps apparently. I wouldn't have done it if I'd known how much followup work would be involved. I don't think they warrant inclusion but I also don't care about it so much that I want to spend multiple hours of my day on the issue. I won't be nominating any more articles for deletion. ] 20:03, 19 September 2007 (UTC) | |||
| Hi, | |||
| Let's shake hands, | |||
| I've made 2 General Announcements on the nomination-list to close my discussion. Hopefully this will end in a good direction for everyone. Best, ] 21:23, 19 September 2007 (UTC) | |||
| : Actually, this is in no way a personal issue between you and I. I'm always willing to shake hands though. Cheers. ] 21:30, 19 September 2007 (UTC) | |||
| == Plea for calm == | |||
| I am asking you to please to refrain from your aggressive posts towards me. I officially apologize for any mistakes I may have made while editing Misplaced Pages and ask that you forgive my transgressions. I refer you to ], ], and especially . ] 00:32, 20 September 2007 (UTC) | |||
| Dlabtot: You did not follow proper procedure when flagging the article. This is not the first time you've done this. Since you have done this at least three times that I can see your "plea for calm" rings false. Follow procedure and I'll have nothing to complain about. That is my only beef. ] 00:45, 20 September 2007 (UTC) | |||
| : I have apologized and asked you to assume good faith on my part. And your response is to come hear and tell me that my words 'ring false'. I'm asking you one last time to stop attacking me. If you persist in your attacks I will have to move towards a more formal process to get you to stop. (I'll crosspost this on your talk page) ] 00:51, 20 September 2007 (UTC) | |||
| :: Stating fact is not an attack. You have tagged articles without showing cause at least three times. That's not an attack; that's a fact. If you feel a need to formalize this please feel free; however, I have more than enough evidence to assert that you are not acting in good faith. Your call. ] 01:14, 20 September 2007 (UTC) | |||

| : Well, thanks, although actually, I've pretty much given up on that. A certain user has worn me down through the sheer volume of his contributions. Maybe once Petraeus is no longer the current poster boy the article will be able to be improved. I don't think there is much chance of that in the short term. ] 17:45, 28 September 2007 (UTC) | |||

I started editing the article because it looked like it needed help - and it still does. But frankly, I don't actually feel any need to explain or justify to you why I choose to edit one page or another. I respectfully request that you leave me alone and refrain from asking me irrelevant and pointless questions. Let the admins do their job. If you want to discuss how to make the DU article better, its talk page would be the appropriate place to do so. ] 20:15, 1 November 2007 (UTC) | |||
