The problem (another one) edit

Is that no one is able to get Nakba to be NPOV (which was one the goals of my arbitration case and actually promised by arbitors) and no opne is making sure that sources such as "palestinieremberded" and in a different article "global exchange" are used in accordance with WP:RS.

Now don't get me wrong, I love what Global exchange do. When lived in San Fran I was active in Media benjamin's bit for Senate on behalf of the green party but my appriciation does not make them a relaible source as far as Israel they have blind themself. It is sad that an article such as this: Israeli_apartheid_(phrase) is actually a copy of this: http://www.globalexchange.org/countries/mideast/palestine/apartheid.html

I ask again: Do you care what Wikipedia has become because no one is combating the non-NPOV propeganda here ?

Please explain edit

why you think there are grounds to ban me. I was not the one violating 3RR. In fact I have almost did not edit the article at all.

BTW, I would like this issue to be reviewed by all mebers of ArbCom. It is very critical to see what the mebers of Wikipedia ArbCom think about this article. Zeq 13:23, 31 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

PS: My edit to this article were removal of info which (according to the guidelines set im previous arbitration case) do not meet WP:RS. If I can not now delete them will you do it ?

So I wrote "false analogy" - so what ???? edit

Fred,

If you went as far as using a word here or a word there you know this argument does not hold water.

My behaviour is what counts

I behaved examplary and as soon as the conflict turned into mild edit war I stopped editing open a snad box. Before that i participated in talk with no avail.

Wikipedia Moto is "Be bold" - I was. But my behaviour was reasoanble (given the subject and the amount of disruption homey caused)

Suggest you reconsider. I can not think of a better case. Zeq 13:36, 31 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

off wikipedia note edit

I am glad hamas won. this makes things clear. I actually hope Hamas will be made to negoatiate and that israel will be made to negotiate with hamas.

You see when the left makes peace with PLO there is always the Israeli right and the Hamas who stay out of the process and say: this is wrong. Now they will become involved. thats better (IMHO) Zeq 13:39, 31 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

Airforce Academy Sexual Assault Article edit

Use of the rollback is fine. I just thought both of those sentences were a bit bizzare. In all fairness, I think it would be better to just put in a citation needed notice at the end of the sentence. You said you have evidence that the number of rapes/attempted rapes is not unusual, and I believe you. So, whenever you get the chance, if you could just find one or more sources and put them in that would be great. If the information is hard to find or explain on the internet, you could tell me what specific studies you are looking for and I could assist you in finding them. In the meantime, I've added a citation needed notice. Thank you for your politeness and general consideration. --Irongaard 14:45, 31 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

Vandal at work edit

It would appear from what I have seen that you seem to be a person to complain to. Gregory Lauder-Frost's article was badly vandalised by a new User:Edchilvers. Following a trawl of Google I have discovered that he is an individual who is having some massive argument with Michael Keith Smith of the Conservative Democratic Alliance and so he has vandalised Smith's page and seriously attacked Lauder-Frost's page (even though GLF has probably never even heard of this fellow!). People should not be permitted to bring their personal feuds onto Wikipedia. Can you help/investigate? 86.137.204.101 09:43, 1 June 2006 (UTC).Reply

WP:RS edit

Now, after using the biased globalexchange Homey moved to get material from sites with Neo Nazi flavor : http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Israeli_apartheid_%28phrase%29&curid=5329520&diff=56381670&oldid=56380146 . I am sure Jimbo must be very proud in what his encyclopedia has become. He worked so hard to remove the neo-Nazis from here but they come via the backdoor.

At what Point will put an end to Homey disrupption of wkipedia to make his WP:Point about israel ? I am not editing the article but maybe you who know what WP:RS means should edit it ? Zeq 20:46, 1 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Lawrence Davidson is Professor of Middle East History at West Chester University ie he's an academic with an expertise on the Middle East and is therefore a "reliable source". What evidence do you have that he's a neo-nazi? Homey 20:53, 1 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Notice edit

Fred, none of the material in Homey's article is material which fits academic sources that went through 'peer review'. He base this whole article on information that found in blogs and other such sites.

ArbCom had rulled once on such case. I have quoted ArbCom rulling here : Talk:Israeli_apartheid_(phrase)#Decision_by_ArbCom. I ask that as an arbitor you will implement what ArbCom has decided and remove all the content which does not fit WP:RS from the article. Thank You. Zeq 05:15, 2 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Links you placed edit

I had hard time understanding the links you placed on my talk page. What did you want to achive ? why did you place them. There is nothing in them which deny that the nmaterial Homey used did not come from sites with neo nazi ties.

Clearly, it is an issue of WP:RS and I expect you to uphold your own rullings. It is a much more clear case than were the questionable sources in Nakba or the Myth and facts book which you denied in [1948 war]]. Clearly now there are new sources which confirm the Mufti Nazi and genocidal intentions but I avoid editing for now.

In any case the link include this : "similar policies and practices of racial segregation and discrimination as practised in southern Africa" and it lists them.

Is it your contention that israel is engage in such partice ?

If so you should write a paper on get it published.

Since no published source has publish such nonsense I demand again that in your role as arbitor you will remove such material which does not confirm to WP:RS from Wikipedia article. Clearly you can see how much Homey's action have disrpted wikipedia and will continue to disrupt as long as the material (orginated in sites with neo Nazis ties) will remain. Zeq 07:47, 2 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

I believe the above post is a violation of Wikipedia:Libel. Zeq has repeated it elsewhere yet, when challenged on Talk:Israeli apartheid (phrase) he has produced much heat but has been unable to provide one piece of evidence that Mona Baker's site is a neo-nazi site or has "neo-nazi ties". Homey 15:22, 2 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

I wrote about the connection between those who want to boycott israel and use the term "israeli apartheid" for that and the connections to neo Nazis. This connection is well documented in talk page of the article, in fact although it is a talk page I was just quoting the primary source about these connections. Fred, this use of wikipedia for Homey's propeganda has gone too far as it is, please use your power to remove from this article any material which does not conform to WP:RS Zeq 16:17, 2 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Mike Smith edit

Serious vandalism on both article and Talk Page for Michael Keith Smith by anons who are almost certainly User:Edchilvers and friend who he has introduced into Wikipedia. The friend was recently successfully sued by Smith for internet libel. The notes for the case, which my adjoining chambers dealt with, cite many instance of obscene remarks. These are not pleasant people. Are you not able to trace these User IDs and block them? Sussexman 08:22, 3 June 2006 (UTC).Reply

HOTR edit

I am averse to entering into a slanging match but prompted by this vandal User:Edchilvers, User:HOTR has re-emerged to support him by nominating several biographical articles for deletion. I would be extremely grateful if you would take a moment to read my comment on Gregory Lauder-Frost's Talk Page. Sussexman 07:54, 4 June 2006 (UTC).Reply

Well, Fred Bauder, it does seem HOTR is a law unto himself. He has slanted the Lauder-Frost article in such a drastic way that GLF appears as a dangerous right-wing lunatic. I don't know what Sussexman will say if and when he returns there but I would say that the way it has been massacred by HOTR might even constitute a legal challenge. Maybe the article should just be deleted. 213.122.11.208 20:04, 4 June 2006 (UTC).Reply

What a disgrace. It's clear there is no control. I have concurred with deletion. Sussexman 20:43, 4 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

HotR has disrpted wikipedia to a great level. He is really out of control using his admin power to push POV and soapbox. It is indeed a disgarce that such a person is even editing wikipedia. I am sure I am not the only one who noticed his deeds. Zeq 03:55, 5 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

It is interesting that others on Wikipedia cannot identify this User's obsessions and agenda and activities. Maybe they concur? Sussexman 12:54, 14 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

I may agree with his political position, but I don't agree with his editing. Fred Bauder 14:05, 14 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

HOTR has attacked GLF's article since December. He constantly tried to cast GLF in the foulest light and attempted twice to get the article deleted. Now, almost single-handedly - but fully initiated by the venom of User:Edchilvers - he has resurrected matters which were buried over a decade ago for the world to click on to. Is this what Wikipedia is about? Is HOTR a good example of unbiased administration? Smearing, denigrating, and even possibly destroying rebuilt lives? Small wonder people have been making "legal threats". 86.129.79.148 17:39, 15 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Quotes edit

Keep Until either a mediator or the arbitration committee can get this mess straightened out. As others have pointed out, this AfD is part of a much larger disagreement involving several articles.

I think that allegations of "apartheid" applied to any country other than South Africa should be discussed only in the context of broader, neutrally-titled articles about that country. However, I feel even more strongly that if the community accepts having an article specifically about allegations of apartheid in country X (other than South Africa), then it should allow the same for all other countries. We are trying to deal with issues #1 and #2 in no particular order, and one AfD at a time. It's not working. It feels like playing chess with the board broken up and the pieces in different rooms.

There are about a dozen long pages of Talk and AfD discussions for the various related articles, some of which are alleged to have been tampered with. There is a long trail of page renames and redirects, and allegations of all kinds of seriously bad wiki-behaviour. We have multi-day page protections with no end in sight, bans, blocks, and AfD discussions that end in no consensus. Desmond Tutu's name has being brought into the fray; thank God nobody's brought up Mother Teresa yet. Understanding all of this would require stretching out a very long piece of paper on the floor and drawing a detailed timeline. Mere mortals like myself don't have the combination of time and wikiwisdom to do that. Su-laine.yeo 01:50, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Su-laine's comment is a perfect description of how I feel about this as well. It is so confusing. I love this line, it is so true: "It feels like playing chess with the board broken up and the pieces in different rooms." That is perfect. Using (or abusing) the same analogy, I feel like I keep making moves but they don't get me anywhere because after each move, suddenly it's a different game at a different table and nobody can see what happened before. (Though, sadly, it almost always turns out that the same person is sitting across the table.) 6SJ7 02:39, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Jayjg new revert war at Ahmadinejad and Israel edit

I would like you to take a look at the removal by Jayjg of a section in the article. [3] This section was first inserted in mid April, when the speech was widely reported internationally. Jayjg removed it not only without suggesting an alternative, but did not make any mention of the fact that he had removed it in the discussion section. That major change was first discussed after two reversions by other people when I brought it up in the discussion section. I restored it to the state it had existed for six weeks pending a compromise being reached in discussion but it was reverted by a different user. I removed all quotations except one so that the section fit better with the others. Jayjg reverted that also.[4] I find this behavior offensive from anyone, especially an arbcom member. TopRank 16:42, 5 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

The section in question was just a near verbatim reproduction of an uninteresting speech by Ahmadinejad; as part of a cleanup of the article I removed it and explained clearly why in my edit summary. It was subsequently moved to Wikiquote. The removal has also been discussed at length on the Talk: page. None of that constitutes "Jayjg new revert war", and your spamming of this duplicate message on the Talk: page of every single ArbCom member is highly disruptive. Jayjg (talk) 17:12, 5 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

answer edit

Yes I am aware of both the article and honest reporting. I removed a whole section (which is explained in talk) and therefore there was no need in the part of the sentence that delt with the response about the verbal gymnastics. I removed the section for two reasons:
  1. The word "Hafrada" has nothing to do with Apartheid (many sources is hebrew about "hafrada" - none of them is about apartheide)
  2. The "apartheid wall" has just finished an Afd(decision was to delete and merge[5]) . Homey was trying to push it into this article as well.

I am getting really concerned about your ignoring the numerous policy violation by homey. He violates almost any possible policy and almost any edit he makes is a violation of WP:Not. 16:52, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Zeq again edit

As one can see by his most recent contributions to Talk:Israeli apartheid Zeq simply has no concept of compromise, consensus or NPOV. He is disruptive and an obstacle and has no place editing any articles related to the Isreali-Palestinian conflict. Homey 06:18, 6 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

I think the above personal attack can easily be disproved by editors such as Ramallite, SlimVirgin and many others who worked with me to create NPOV articles before. This is just one more form of homey false accusations of me. (long list which i will not bother you with right now) Zeq 06:32, 6 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

PS the actual argument that since I voiced my suggestion on talk page it means a violation of wkipedia NPOV policy - that argument by itself is ridiculus. This is what talk pages are for to air out our differences. Homey accusation only projects on one person here: Homey. Zeq 06:35, 6 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Request for opinion from ArbCom edit

Dear Fred,

This decision by the comunity : Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Apartheid_(disambiguation) seems to go in direct oposition to WP:DAB (see view by heptor and others).

non-wiki : A pivotal moment in ME history (in the next 60-90 days) edit

The roadmap was doomed for deadlock from the getgo: Demanding that the first step is "dismantling terror infrastructure" while only putting negotiation and mutual recognition in 2 nd step was jst a way to ensure deadlock.

Now the situation is changing. Abbas, (Abu-mazen) have smartly locked himself into a corner. Within 40-60 days he will have to excuse the referendum on the "prisoner initiative" (PI)

The Palestinian people, smartly also, will accept the initiative and this will put Olmert into a corner: He will be forced to enter negotiation (based on the PI) without his demands to dismantle Hamas as a first step.

This is actually a very good news to the ME since it would mean a negotiation in which Hamas is in some silent way a partner. As always some crazy guy (on either side) could do something to derail the progress. Zeq 09:49, 9 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Well in many ways I'm not bothered about the article. I didn't ask for it in the first place, but I'm concerned about the way it was maliciously targeted by someone known to me with a longstanding personal grudge (Chilvers) who then alerted HotR to restart his campaigning again against Lauder-Frost and now me as well. Can't the Wikipedia 'bosses' see what these people are up to?

Gregory Lauder-Frost edit

Since it appears that claims made in regards to the Rehabiliation of Offenders Act were exaggerated, I have attempted to add a reference to Lauder-Frost's legal problems. Could you please review the addition to Gregory Lauder-Frost, make any adjustments you think are necessary, and state an opinion on Talk:Gregory Lauder-Frost? Homey 13:44, 13 June 2006 (UTC).Reply

Nothing has been exagerated. The Act is very clear. Re-publication of material after the 10-year period is up, for no other reason than to bring it to the attention of others, is pure malice, and would harm anyone's rehabilitation under the Act and defy the spirit of the Act. It is clearly wrong. I suspect you have not heard the end of this by a long shot. Sussexman 12:50, 14 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Obviously we have a library in chambers bigger than many public libraries. I don't work in this area of law but I have explained the position as I see it. I know I am right without researching it (unless someone wishes to pay me). I am merely defending someone who I knew many years ago as a thoroughly decent fellow, who had a very bad time, and who now, 14 years on, has been targetted by appalling muck-rakers. I am very disappointed that the Wikipedia legal people cannot see the gross injustice being carried out here. Sussexman 20:54, 18 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

That you have the facts (ie a copy of the legislation) at your disposal but can't be bothered to look it up isn't very helpful to your argument. Nor is your assertion that "I know I am right without researching it". Homey 21:25, 18 June 2006 (UTC).Reply

Your agenda, as you just said, is "defending someone who I knew many years ago as a thoroughly decent fellow, who had a very bad time".

Hey look a member of ArbCom is getting bugged! edit

Yeah, I'd hate to bug a member of ArbCom about stupid stuff, but this may not be so stupid. A user, potentially User:Leyasu (going as User:Leyasu1 and User:86.132.134.145) and another user, User:Deathrocker just engaged in an edit war complete with content modification and blanking of eachother in large quanities on Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Deathrocker/Evidence. I think they may have settled it, but who knows, and its hard to decipher what's been changed on the page over the course of their warring.

As nearest as I can tell, banned user Leyasu as an IP started posting evidence, and Deathrocker started to refute it and post counter-evidence while simultaneously modifying the comments left. Conflict of issues. One shouldn't be modifying others evidence sections on RfAr evidence pages, but one shouldn't be posting at all while banned. Kevin_b_er 04:29, 14 June 2006 (UTC)Reply
