Hello. There have been some problems with logging in lately (see the Misplaced Pages:Village pump). You might want to try logging in again (the problems might've been ironed out). -- Notheruser 00:38, 29 Jul 2003 (UTC)

:-( Nope, not yet apparently. But it does seem to be a more generic problem than I thought at first, so I'll be patient. Thanks for the quick answer! -- 217.156.116.130 00:40, 29 Jul 2003 (UTC)

Press release

Editing on the meta version of the press release has effectively stopped. Please be advised that we may be distributing the non-English press releases as early as Monday 29 September. The English version will be distributed the week after in order to smooth out the load on our servers. --maveric149 22 Sep 2003

Hi. I sent out a bulk email regards wikipedia:arbitrators, but I had at least one email address wrong, so I thought I should mention it here as a backup. Is xxxxxx up-to-date? Martin 02:15, 18 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Yes, thank you for posting it here in clear text for spam harvesters. Don't worry, although I deleted it, it's still available in the history, I'm sure the spiders will get to it. --Gutza 15:37, 22 Jan 2004 (UTC)
I can delete the history of the page if you'd like. *shrug*. I meant to use the X at Y obfuscation (as on wikien-l), but it seems I made a mistake. Ho hum. Martin 22:32, 22 Jan 2004 (UTC)

I emailed you re: arbitration, but your address bounced the email. Let me know if I should resend to a different address. Martin 19:26, 4 Feb 2004 (UTC)

I replied via e-mail to the address linked in your user's page (in the right-hand side of the page, towards the bottom). Yes, that e-mail is working fine, please try again. Gutza 22:49, 5 Feb 2004 (UTC)
Got your two emails, responded, forwarded. Strange. Martin 23:03, 5 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Press Release

I see you contributed to the creation of the press release. Might you be willing to follow these steps, and send off the press release? -- user:zanimum

Already did so for the Romanian Misplaced Pages, and also got an article to prove it. :) --Gutza 14:44, 5 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Oh! Wow! Great. Can you note this in the English logbook, just so we know what areas have already been covered? -- user:zanimum

AC votes

When you have a moment, could you vote in the matter of Wik? --mav

Iron Guard

Re: our recent colloquy in Talk:Iron Guard: I took a shot at revising the article accordingly, tell me if you think there is still a problem. -- Jmabel 18:19, 11 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for your response. Yes, history of any country is inevitably controversial. Believe me, it's not easy to get consensus about the American Civil War here, and we've had a century and a half. -- Jmabel 19:54, 12 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Hi! Can you please translate the election notice * into Romanian and post it prominently on the Recent Changes page of the Romanian Misplaced Pages. Once you have done that, please let me know, and leave me a link where I can find it. Thanks. User:Danny on en.

Iisus vs. Isus

Am o rugăminte. Poţi urmări discuţia de la articolul Iisus Hristos de pe Misplaced Pages Română ? Mie mi se pare firească forma cu doi II, pentru că aşa este folosită de către ortodocşii români, care sunt majoritari în ţară.

Eu sunt ateu, dar mie mi se pare firesc să folosim formele corecte (adică cele acceptate de populaţie). Eventual aş explica în articol de unde vin ambele forme, dar am decis să nu contribui nimic în rowiki pînă cînd nu se clarifică treaba aceasta (dacă articolele „aparţin” celor ce le-au creat).

Danke, Masi27185.

Seinfeld storytelling

Hi! I wished to tell you that your addition regarding the complex interwoven stories of Seinfeld is quite pertinent, thanks for writing it. This is indeed something I notice and admire about the Seinfeld show. Just a comment: in this sentence: "A nice exercise in this direction is to try to summarize the action in a random episode of the show reasonably accurate", should it not say "reasonably accurately" or "in a reasonably accurate way"? Also, is a suggestion of experiment appropriate for an encyclopedia article (and the use of the emotional, subjective term "nice")? Well, thanks again for your contributions! --Liberlogos 23:26, 17 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Evidence

Question about Lyndon LaRouche article

Dear Arbitration Committee:

I have read the following:

=== Remedies===

1) Original work which originates from Lyndon LaRouche and his movement may be removed from any Misplaced Pages article in which it appears other than the article Lyndon LaRouche and other closely related articles.

Passed with 5 of 6 active arbitrators on 2 August 2004. No votes against and no abstentions

3) User:Adam Carr is banned for one day for making a personal attack.

Passed with 5 of 6 active arbitrators on 2 August 2004. No votes against and no abstentions

4) Supporters of Lyndon LaRouche are instructed not to add references to Lyndon directly to articles except where they are highly relevant, and not to engage in activities that might be perceived as "promotion" of Lyndon LaRouche.

Passed with 5 of 6 active arbitrators on 2 August 2004. No votes against and no abstentions

Enforcement

1) Misplaced Pages users who engage in re-insertion of original research which originated with Lyndon LaRouche and his movement or engage in edit wars regarding insertion of such material shall be subject to ban upon demonstration to the Arbitration Committee of the offense.

Passed with 5 of 6 active arbitrators on 2 August 2004. No votes against and no abstentions

3) If an article is protected due to edit wars over the removal of Lyndon-related material, Admins are empowered (as an exception to normal protection policy) to protect the version which does not mention Lyndon LaRouche.

Passed with 5 of 6 active arbitrators on 2 August 2004. No votes against and no abstentions


I have attempted twice to restore this passage to the article:

Former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark has tried to clear LaRouche's name, arguing that investigators and political opponents had abused the legal process to eliminate him. Clark wrote in 1995, in a letter to then serving Attorney General Janet Reno: "I bring this matter to you directly, because I believe it involves a broader range of deliberate and systematic misconduct and abuse of power over a longer period of time in an effort to destroy a political movement and leader, than any other federal prosecution in my time or to my knowledge."
In the early 1990s, while LaRouche was in prison, full page advertisements, calling for LaRouche to be exonerated, appeared in papers such as the New York Times and Washington Post. Among the signators were heads of state and cabinet-level officials from around the world, including Arturo Frondizi, former President of Argentina; leaders of the American Civil Rights Movement, including Amelia Boynton Robinson (the heroine of Bloody Sunday) and Rosa Parks; former Minnesota Senator and Democratic Presidential Candidate Eugene McCarthy; and prominent artists, such as violinist Norbert Brainin, former primarius of the Amadeus Quartet.
It is interesting, and perhaps puzzling, that these individuals came to the defense of a man who has been so universally condemned in the press throughout the English-speaking world.

It had been reverted by administrator Guanaco. When I replaced it he reverted it again, with the explanation that it was forbidden by the AC ruling. I put it back in, saying that I had read the AC ruling. Then it was reverted by administrator AndyL. Could you please explain how the ruling forbids this? The section is certainly factual and I think it makes the article more neutral. Weed Harper 14:19, 13 Aug 2004 (UTC)
