Murray & Hernstein

DavidYork71, I will not disagree that Murray & Hernstein's work constitutes valid, if imperfect, sociological science. However, the associated graph is obviously quite controversial. Mainspace isn't censored, but there is really no reason to host it in userspace, where it will inform hardly anyone, and may be used against you. Proabivouac 06:42, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

I dont' understand what it is trying to say - or what David is trying to say by using it. Merbabu 13:13, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Apologies, I suppose it does not come from M&H after all. David, I presume nothing in particular about what you are trying to say; I am only offering friendly advice, which you are free to ignore.Proabivouac 14:35, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

The story is I was trawling throught NPOV disputes trying to eliminate a few where articles had been reactively tagged without describing points of variance or reasons on talk, which I see quite a lot. I learned that not just articles, but also maps, graphs and even pictures got the treatment. This graph was one of them. It sits here in honour of all those - we all know the type - who will reactively tag information of all kinds because they don't like the truths it may reveal about a subject.DavidYork71 09:16, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

I and S

I gave my reasons on the talk for that edit. Please revert yourself. Arrow740 09:42, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. Arrow740 09:54, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

"However, despite abolitionist views sourced from some influential scholars of Islam." There aren't any. You are overreacting here. Please don't edit the intro, it's a concensus version produced by a neutral editor. Arrow740 09:53, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Three reverts every twenty-four hours is not an entitlement. It is better to avoid undoing another person's work if possible. Try to integrate what you want to say with what others want to say, and take it slowly. After all, no one who is blocked is able to contribute to the article. Tom Harrison 13:54, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

I understand your point, but there is no exception to 3rr that alows you to revert factually incorrect material. Tom Harrison 14:05, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

On that page I have only that one reversion in 24 hours and I've self-reverted myself twice upon request from ArrowDavidYork71 14:11, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Another Arabic-English verification issue

Hi David. Could you please give me some time to look at your request? Probably, i can do that this week-end. I am a bit busy w/ the military wikiproject for now. Cheers. -- FayssalF - 15:35, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

OK. I'm very interested to know more about Muhammad's slaves. Who they were, what he used them for, why they were slaves, and just generally what we can be most sure about on this subject so many centuries later.DavidYork71 00:12, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Image tagging

David York, you've got a number of images tagged with the {{attribution}} tag like this one and yet you've not provided any sort of proof of this. Would you kindly review the images you have uploaded and correct this? Information on image licensing is an important necessity when Misplaced Pages uses such content.

Your user page

Your user page says "This user is a sockpuppet of Allah". What is that supposed to mean?Bless sins 06:24, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

So you are pretending to imitate Allah? I didn't quite understand your response fully. The reason I was asking you is out of curiosity as to why you would use Allah in the context of term used negatively on wikipedia.Bless sins 16:34, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

DavidYork71, I strongly suggest that you not replace the userbox in question, which I've just removed. Generally, userboxes are of no value whatsoever. They have nothing to do with building an encyclopedia, and if they cause even one mote of trouble, they should go. Let us now move on and find something more meaningful to discuss.Proabivouac 22:53, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

User:BongHitz4Musa?

Thanks

I really appreciate, NN 03:09, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
