Response

I have responded to your question regarding a third opinion. My answer can be found here. --User:Krator (t c)

Pol Pot "Vandalism"?

Excuse me, but I would like to know why you have labelled the inclusion of Kmae language to the Pol Pot page as "vandalism". It is widely accepted that a person's name in his native language may be included at the beginning of a page. Please explain your bizarre action. -Ionius Mundus 20:32, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Okay. Thank you. -Ionius Mundus 21:03, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Countries visited

Hi Roland. I really must question your list of countries visited. Palestine is clearly not a country, it is part of Greater Israel. Could you please correct this in your profile? --EelJuice 22:54, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Don't be silly. Palestine is a country, I have many friends who live there, I have visited there at their invitation, and I have no intention of censoring my user page to meet your political agenda. RolandR 23:10, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

December 2007

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 72 hours in accordance with Misplaced Pages's blocking policy for violating the three-revert rule . Please be more careful to discuss controversial changes or seek dispute resolution rather than engaging in an edit war. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below. Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry 02:31, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Your request to be unblocked has been granted for the following reason(s):

In the interest of fairness, as Andyvphil was unblocked, and because I don't see an apparent 3RR violation, you have been unblocked. If you remain autoblocked, please post a request here, or email me with the details if you do not want your IP revealed on-site.

Request handled by: - auburnpilot talk 01:57, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Y	Your request to be unblocked has been granted for the following reason(s): Autoblock of 81.178.234.14 lifted. Request handled by: -- lucasbfr 08:28, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

I have just noticed that the editor who I originally reported, Andyvphil, was also blocked for 72 hours at the same time, as was the second editor who he was constantly reverting, Nishidani. However, Andyvphil's appeal against blocking has been accepted, but mine and Nishidani's have been ignored. It seems a misuse of admin tools to block two editors who object to the disruptive behaviour of a third, who has been pardoned. RolandR 18:42, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Popping in

Just to say hello. I noticed your latest edits to Israeli apartheid and wanted to thank you for locating that quote and information. It's very interesting and I hadn't ever read it before. Will definitiely pass it on to a friend of mine doing research on the role of the JNF in land expropriation. Aah, my favourite moments in Misplaced Pages; when I learn something. :) Cheers. Tiamut 21:48, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

I haven't had a chance to get Davis' books. It's hard to find English copies of such work in Nazareth. Thanks for the references though. I will try to get a friend from North America to bring one on their next trip into town. Tiamut 11:20, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

I tried contacting him by email once to discuss housing issues here, but he did not return my note. I guess he's quite busy or else I had the wrong address. Do you know how I might get in touch with him? Tiamut 15:06, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for pointing that out. I will correct now. In the future however, if you do find such a mistake on my user page, I grant you, RolandR, carte blanche access to make corrections as needed. :) Thanks again. Tiamut 16:18, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, I missed the bracket. Tiamut 17:27, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

I do, though rather sporadically and infrequently. I'll be sure to take a look though. Thanks. Tiamut 19:29, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Arab citizens of Israel

Excuse me? Why are you accusing me and Chesdovi of vandalism? The information (both parts) is properly sourced. It is you who are putting back the patently false figure of 300+ million Arab citizens of Israel. What is the point of that? Please cease and desist. Hertz1888 (talk) 21:36, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

If the infobox doesn't match the article's title, and someone (two someones) missed that, is no justification to cry "vandalism", nor does it justify your removal of a properly sourced subsection elsewhere on the page. One assumes the top infobox corresponds to the article's subject. If not, it functions as a trap that can mislead any reader. In the interest of clarity, it needs to be changed, not warred over. Hertz1888 (talk) 22:37, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

I am not quite sure why the “Arabs” infobox appears on the Arab citizens of Israel‎ page. This page is specifically on Arabs of Israel and the infobox should reflect this, as it does in Arab Brazilian, Arab American, Arabic-speaking Christians. To do otherwise is in my mind quite misleading. At first glance I thought there were 300 million Arabs in Israel! As the page itself is not about Arabs per-se, I will change the title of the box accordingly. The image will also have to go as 1905 pre-dates the modern State of Israel which was re-established in 1948. Best, Chesdovi (talk) 22:43, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

What have I done which is not acceptable? Chesdovi (talk) 23:33, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
