ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Misplaced Pages arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Disambiguation link notification for December 11

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Aiyangiyang, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Turkana (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Ghouta chemical attack

I just noticed this; I find it rather disappointing that given the caustic nature of the comments by some other editors on that page you are piling on with more accusations of bad faith rather than focusing on content. I would have thought you would know better. What gives? VQuakr (talk) 16:39, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

I apologize: I've been frustrated with what looks like the habit of blanket reverting in this article. I also think that you are in most ways an exemplary editor. I'm very busy today but will strike my comments and write something more productive soon. -Darouet (talk) 19:23, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

Please comment on Talk:Firearms policy in the United Kingdom

The feedback request service is asking for participation in this request for comment on Talk:Firearms policy in the United Kingdom. Legobot (talk) 00:03, 20 December 2015 (UTC)

Thank you so much for your considered opinion on this talk page, I admit, I am getting out of my depth, in that I have never come across such intransigence on a Misplaced Pages article. The editors concerned seem to believe that the edits are my position rather than the stated opinion as reflected by the source material, which is:

1: UK legally-held firearms ownership was on the increase.

2: that legally-held gun crime was down

3 illegal gun crime was up

Each edit had the associated citation from primary and secondary sources and I thought that was that until the edits kept getting reverted with no reason given. Subsequently, the only other editor editing the article started hypothesizing what the authors 'actually meant', arguing against what they actually wrote in the source material. Also, the same editor stated that calculating from the official stats against the source material was acceptable to remove said referenced material and was not OR when clearly it was. Next thing I know, 3-4 editors appeared all backing his position irrespective of the fact the source material was not contentious, I even had one editor suggest that the removal of an edit by another editor was reason enough to label an edit 'contentious'. Sorry to have gone on but I'm at a loss on what to do next, best wishes. Twobells (talk) 16:53, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

Hi Twobells, it's true they're intransigent, but they also have also made a number of valid points regarding the sources. My view is that the changes you are wishing to make are not critical to this topic - if they were, many secondary sources would be available describing this phenomenon. What I think you should do is read more widely to find out if this is really happening, and if many reporters or reliable sources are commenting on it. -Darouet (talk) 17:07, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

Hello again, I agree, it is not critical, I never thought it was, however, the source material lays out facts that should be in the article, it is the removal of reliably-sourced reference material that shocks me. regards. Twobells (talk) 17:55, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

Sometimes editorial intransigence creates problems where there could easily be consensus. In my view, others on the page have both expertise (helpful) and strong POV (unhelpful) that creates a mixed editing environment. But, to their credit, Keri and NickCooper are very interested in discussion, and that's great. If I were you, I'd hit the books and try to learn more about recent gun violence history and stats in the UK, and find more expert commentary on the topic. I think they'd be open to it and in the end, the article will be stronger for your and their efforts. -Darouet (talk) 18:08, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

Hadith

I just read your comment about hadith on the 3PR board. Ty for being understanding btw :D. What would you like to know about hadith texts? FreeatlastChitchat (talk) 03:44, 26 January 2016 (UTC)

Hi @FreeatlastChitchat: thanks for your note. I was annoyed that you reverted my (nevertheless imperfect) background addition, but later regretted reporting you, especially after your self-revert. Ideally, every article on a Hadith should note the tradition to which it belongs, its historical sources and context, some introduction to Hadith in general, and the text (depending on their length), ideally with a little academic and perhaps even theological commentary.

It's clear that the article as it was written failed in almost every regard here. Who are the people commenting? What authority do they have? Are the quotes the text of the Hadith itself, or a discussion of it? If I understand your concerns correctly, you are also worried that substandard sources are perhaps being used for some dogmatic purpose, e.g., to prove the validity of one faith or tradition over another?

My view of religious texts in general is that their description, in an encyclopedia, should include first a secular historical and literary analysis, and then a religious analysis. I hope that the two sources recently provided can help us move in the right direction. -Darouet (talk) 00:18, 27 January 2016 (UTC)

Syrian Revolutionary Front ..?

Dear colleague, I'm rather puzzled by an edit of yours, here, 3March, on FSA, especially where it refers to a 'Syrian Revolutionary Front'. I can't even find an article on that group; but it would have been YOUR job to make clear what that group is, for example by giving it a Wikilink. How do we know, for example, that that SRF is part of, or affiliated with (and what does that mean: 'affiliated with'?), FSA? For the reason that that is all too unclear now, I first remove that addition from section 'History--2014'. If you can be more precise and relevant about that information, of course you can add it again. With my best regards, --Corriebertus (talk) 15:15, 5 March 2016 (UTC)

Hi Corriebertus, the information is in the reference I provided by Cafarella - if you can't access it I can provide the text. -Darouet (talk) 17:44, 5 March 2016 (UTC)
