What is a Legal term of Art?

A term of art is a precise word or phrase used by professionals in a certain subject area.

http://www.ll.georgetown.edu/tutorials/definitions/term_art.html

The expression "Legal Term of Art," therefore, means a term used by attorneys in certain areas. Thus, for example, the term "reliance" is used to express actions taken based on an "assurance" in a "contract." Reliance is not stated as "this thing I did because some guy promised me he would pay me if I did X."

The term "Detainee" fits into this category, as it defines a group of individuals who are presently being incarcerated in GITMO. They are afforded protections under the Detainee Protection Act of 2005:

http://www.milnet.com/House/HR-6166-Military%20Commisions%20Act%20of%202006/Detainee%20Treatment%20Act%20of%202005.html

The choice of verbage is not happenstance. The persons who fall under this category meet a very special definition under the law. They are not "prisoners," because they are not American Citizens, nor are the Prisoner of War. Their status is, instead, as "detainees" of the Department of Defense. Thus, they are under military detention, not afforded the status of military prisoners of war under the Geneva Convention as irregular combatants, and the term applies solely to persons meeting this definition as a class.

I can only hope this fully, and completely, explains the legal term of art "Detainee."

That's good, I saw it. I also saw your statement on the Auschwitz piece that I deleted. It was just too over the top. No matter your political persuasion, I really doubt the Auschwitz slogan inspired the American leadership at the time to adopt the motto. Yachtsman1 (talk) 04:37, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Loyola

Thank you sooooooo much for your help on the article. I feel like I am the only person who gives two hoots about Loyola's page. I've made some improvements, (some mistakes as well), bit its a shame that the article is so poor. Georgetown's article is worlds away from ours. Anywho, I'm only a sophomore undergrad, but I do my best. 144.126.196.135 (talk) 16:42, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

That's alright, I'll be helping from here on out. I would be interested in any materials that can be used to improve it, aside from the website. Talk to the Jesuits about early history.Yachtsman1 (talk) 23:54, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

I've been doing so so with a few priests. There are a few books in the library, nothing too great. Right now I'm just looking at the FA articles from templates, and organization.Interzil (talk) 06:50, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

So over the past few months I've done a bunch to extend the Loyola's prominence by increasing the number of articles, in a fashionable more wiki-friendly way. Any input? Also, can we make a Wiki-Project for Loyola? There are still a lot of things missing, ie institutional history. Also, the alumni page is really weak, check out Dartmouth's, think we can emulate that? Happy New Year Interzil (talk) 22:20, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Loyola Alum

For the Loyola Alumni Section. That part on Mark Bowden at the end should be taken out. Not just because it is awkward, but there is already one military-fiction writer in the blurb, having two is just overkill. Also, most schools have a "featured" alumni on each page with a picture of them (ie Bill Clinton on the G-town page). We should figure out someone to put up on it. I was thinking Michael D. Griffin, but he only received a MA from Sellinger.Interzil (talk) 15:47, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Interzil, Loyola is, first and foremost, a liberal arts college, and it creates authors. In this case, the most famous living alums of the college are authors, both of whom are well known. The fact they both write about the military is entirely irrelevant to their accomplishments. Further, Black Hawk Down is a documentary piece about the events in Mog, not fiction as you assert, and Bowden wrote this as a journalist. Therefore, I do not concur. As for photos, I will see what I can do.Yachtsman1 (talk) 22:35, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

As of the 2008-2013 strategic plan, Loyola is a comprehensive university, which is not exactly a liberal arts college. There are many undergrads and postgrads who are prominent figures of society. Your claims regarding Clancy and Bowden make sense, however, the article blurb written under the Alumni section talks about Loyola having government, religious, and business leaders. Michael D. Griffin is quite possibly more important than any of those two authors, and should receive recognition for it. The main article is Loyola College in Maryland Alumni, if you would like to focus on both of the authors on this page, do so. However, writting an exert on a 'well-rounded' school such as Loyola deserves diversity.Interzil (talk) 16:41, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

Also, John Hall never graduated from Loyola. He dropped out. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Interzil (talk • contribs) 16:46, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

John Hall dropped out of Notre Dame to my understanding, and graduated from Loyola. As for Loyola being a "comprehensive university", it has two schools, one for business, the other for liberal arts, and the liberal arts core is required of all students. It is VERY MUCH a traditional, Jesuit college in that respect, and its notable alumni are heavily influenced as a result. Saying a university is "comprehensive" is fine and good, but a "comprehensive university" normally means separate schools at the undergraduate and graduate level (School of Medicine, School of law, School of Nursing, School of Education, etc.) equalling more than two. Loyola has not attained this distinction to date, and is listed as a "Master's University as a result", though that appears the direction my alma mater is headed. As for the "diversity" of alumni, add Griffin if you like. Yachtsman1 (talk) 17:45, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

I am speedy closing the AFD you started. Speedy deletions do not go to AFD. Articles tagged for speedy deletion go to a separate place where admins there look at them and decide whether it meets the certain criteria (in this case, A7) or does not. If it does not, then possibly AFD is in order. If the speedy is declined, then I would renominate the article for AFD but following the guidelines set forth in the articles for deletion guidelines.

Vandalism

It is a kind of attack that blocking will not help. A website has a link to that page and random users visiting that site will click on the link and save the page. These are the only edits they will ever make and they are from such a wide range of ip address that blocking will not stop it. If it continues I will request page protection. Thanks for the heads up.

sigh...--Yachtsman1 (talk) 06:39, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

Don't let it get to you. I'm having a hard time not believing that this editor isn't engaging in a wee bit of "trolling", it all seems a little over the top in my opinion. There is no doubt whatsoever in my opinion that the material being posted by the editor in question was completely unacceptable according to policy, subsequently I've added the article to my watch list (as I'm sure a few others have as well) and I'll continue to monitor it. Keep in mind that when material is posted as far removed as this stuff was from the policy of the encyclopedia, you can contact an administrator directly at [10]. I can't imagine that there are many administrators that would see the continual reposting of this material (after warnings) as anything more than an act of straight vandalism. And of course always remember, try not to feed the trolls! lol I'd also like to suggest that although the editor in question may have technically been guilty of "edit warring", a more accurate 'charge' under these circumstances in my opinion, is a violation of the encyclopedia's policy against non-neutral point of view contributions. Should they choose to continue to post this material in its present form, after the expiration of the block currently in place, they should be systematically warned (1-4) that they are violating non-npov and barring that, reported to AIV as vandals. cheers Deconstructhis (talk) 16:02, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

re: vandalism???

You've reverted my edits to the CCP hf page.

I had removed Charles Dane from the company staff listing: he has not worked for CCP in quite a while, and that position no longer exists.

I added that CCP announced a partnership with Atari to publish EVE. Reference: http://www.ccpgames.com/press/press_releases.asp?pressReleaseID=50. I was in the process of adding this reference in when I discovered your reversion.

I also edited that Quafe was a relabeling of a popular Icelandic soft drink, Orka.

Please realize that not everyone who adds or removes content to a page is doing so in a nefarious way. I fail to see how my content additions and one subtraction equates to vandalism. Please revert my edits. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.227.161.168 (talk) 21:49, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

You can revert your own edits if you like, but understand that this is an encyclopedia. Thus, if you want to make a statement, it has to be supported. Therefore if the softdrink is a "repackaging", provide a cite in support. Your other edit was incomplete, but saved. I will revert these types of edits to ensure a clean-up of the article. In the future, use the preview feature to make edits to avoid this.Yachtsman1 (talk) 21:55, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Why????

You said "The UK is a better description". Why are people like Noel and Liam of Oasis from Manchester (England) included in Category:English people of Irish descent, NOT Category:British people of Irish descent? Why are people like John Lennon and Paul McCartney of The Beatles from Liverpool (England) included in Category:British people of Irish descent? BOTH are English people! I don't think I'm gonna do a vandalism. I only did the best of an intension. Being blocked is absolutely wrong. --211.15.48.50 (talk) 03:05, 17 November 2008 (UT)

When did I ever block you? And maybe they are confused. They are described as "British", not "English". I am a "British National" of "Irish descent" myself. Yachtsman1 (talk) 03:10, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, you don't say "you will be blocked", it's another person. By the way, are Gallagher brothers English and Lennon and McCartney British, not English? I don't understand it! Why are Lennon and McCartney British people of Irish descent, not English people of Irish descent although their article is included in Category:English singer-songwriters, not Category:British singer-songwriters? Are they from Liverpool of UK's ENGLAND? Are Gallagher brothers from Manchester of UK ENGLAND? Why is all I do wrong? I cannot accept it. --211.15.48.50 (talk) 03:30, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

I changed it because of the "stiiiiil" descriptor.[11] This is common by editors who disagree with others philosophies. If this is a proper title, give a cite and it's good. Hope that helps.Yachtsman1 (talk) 05:39, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

McCain

Why did you revert my edits? McCain Foods Limited is a billion-dollar multinational business and the second biggest private company in Canada - clearly notable, and best known as simply "McCain". Secondly, the protection notice is obviously wrong otherwise how could I edit it? It's editors like you who are ruining Wikipedia. -81.139.76.64 (talk) 07:07, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

The page is not protected - I removed the template because it's not protected - see the talk page. I didn't create a redirect at all (that's an outright lie), I changed it to use a more specific template to make navigation easier. Please WP:AGF, and stop recent changes patrolling until you know how to be both civil and understand how Wikipedia works. Having an account doesn't suddenly give you special powers to treat IP users like crap. -81.139.76.64 (talk) 07:13, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

I have to agree on the semi-protection issue; any time an I.P. removes a protection template from a page, you can safely assume that the page is indeed unprotected (I should have removed the template myself when I unprotected it). As for the rest, that's a content dispute; the two of you should work it out on the talk page. Sarcasticidealist (talk) 07:29, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

Seeing as the edits in question weren't vandalism (one set of edits added a dabhat, another removed a protection template from an unprotected page), would you consider rescinding the warnings you gave for them? Regardless of opinion on whether McCain foods should be linked from the top of the article (I personally feel the regular dabhat is enough), the anon was clearly not deliberately vandalising the article, and seeing undeserved warnings on a user talk page like that is often enough to put off some users. Dreaded Walrus ^{t c} 19:32, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

I have rescinded them, though I have doubts as to his purpose in linking the two. Yachtsman1 (talk) 20:37, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

I agree it could easily be seen the wrong way, and like you I feel the dablink is enough. Still, thanks for taking them back. :) Dreaded Walrus ^{t c} 20:44, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

If there is an agreement, revert it. I don't see anything to replace it, however. I'm looking at another page where it was removed right now.

Ok, the current look of the smaller campaignbox was agreed upon in late 2006, because the big one was getting to large (and also included the bombings not just battles), so we decided to make the small one which would provide a link to the box with the battles and a link to the box with the bombings. There isn't much talk here on the discussion page [[12]] [[13]], because most of the discussion was conducted on our talk pages back then between me, Publicus and TheFEARGod. And we decided on the current one.89.216.236.45 (talk) 02:11, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads-up; for future reference, you could also report at WP:AIV, giving a brief rundown of the history with this IP. (In fact, that's probably the best course of action--you're likely to get a faster reply there. As an example: it's just a fluke that I'm even awake and online just at the moment; normally I'd be asleep, and meanwhile this guy could have gone on making bad edits til sunrise.) But definitely keep up the good work--we don't need to be cleaning up after stuff like that. GJC 06:27, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

why did you revert my edit?

I recently made an edit to the adult video game page to add the sexgame-reviews.com site. I believe this is a valid entry as this site covers a range of adult video games, both current and historical. It is also similar to the site MMOVSG.net which is an existing entry in the link section. Can you explain why that entry is valid while mine is not?

The entry is here.

Thanks!--RICKY 00:59, 30 November 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ricky2009 (talk • contribs) just message me at my talk page if you have any ideas-Ricky2009 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ricky2009 (talk • contribs) 01:04, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

Is the article you suggested about the 2 players not allowed to play in that bowl game because they were black, yeah i got an article from another site cause im having difficulty finding it on wikipedia--RICKY 02:34, 30 November 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ricky2009 (talk • contribs)

Yes. Also, check out how I edited your previous entry on the Blues. Take note of how I added to the article for the future. The players you named are linked now, together with some general language fixes.Yachtsman1 (talk) 02:40, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

I found a shorter and sweeter summary on wikipedia on the Universities page, so thanks!. Af for signing my posts, Im hitting the signature button up top, and its automatically putting my account name, so im guessing i need to add my name right after the signature. --RICKY 02:45, 30 November 2008 (UTC)Ricky —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ricky2009 (talk • contribs) As for the links, i figured that out like 10 minutes ago Bill Clinton —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ricky2009 (talk • contribs) 02:48, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

I figured you would. Recheck that Rams 2004-2005 piece, I recall them losing to the Eagles in the DS after beating Green Bay that year in the WC.--Yachtsman1 (talk) 02:51, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

Question from the new kid

So i just edited the BLues 08 09 season summary after a player reached a milestone not even 10 minutes ago. Im wanting to know if it was nessesary to put down how he recieved a standing ovation. The blues were on the against an opponent the guy recently played for. I put down the milestone and the fact it tied the game. Im just wanting to know if three sentences in the summary about his milestone is too much. --RICKY 21:41, 30 November 2008 (UTC) As for the question on the rams, no. They beat the eagles in week 16. They lost to Greenbay a little earlier. But in the playoffs, they defeated Seattle for the third time that season, then had a rematch with Atlanta from week 2. The Rams allowed over 300 rushing yards against the Falcons. However, the Rams did play both teams you mentioned in the 2001 playoffs, both of them the Rams were victorious over on their way to Super Bowl 36

Be bold, Rick. I'm sure it's fine. Keep up the good work. --Yachtsman1 (talk) 03:41, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

American Muslim Council reverts

Hello, Yachtsman1 ... I am concerned about the lack of discussion between Taz Manchester (talk · contribs) and Matt57 (talk · contribs) regarding recent edits to American Muslim Council (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) ... I happen to agree with Matt57 ... can we please discuss this at Talk:American Muslim Council? Happy Editing! — 72.75.110.31 (talk · contribs) _{22:06, 30 November 2008 (UTC)}

Hi Yachtsman, I have been busy lately so been unable to respond in detail regarding the issue although I plan to have it written up soon, 72.75.110.31 (talk · contribs) is very patronising and keeps stating I have an agenda while he does not which goes against the good faith encouraged in Wikipedia, please could you remind him of this.

Willing to Keep Contributing

If you could suggest some more articles to do with NASCAR that are blank, I'd be more than welcome to research and fill in.--RICKY 04:20, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Rick: I put the NASCAR link on your page. Hit the link and you will be able to see what projects they are working on right now. I would suggest you get involved through that group. As for your signature, you can use either the top cursive signature, or the four tides symbot at the bottom by cutting and pasting it at the end of a message.--Yachtsman1 (talk) 03:39, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Something I dont understand

I kind of need help with the signature name, and what it does when its checked/unchecked. Dont completely understand it all.--RICKY 21:46, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Correcting spelling...

I would think someone as active as you would know that correcting spelling of other people's talk page comments is considered unnessesary and rude. Please don't do this. ♫ Melodia Chaconne ♫ (talk) 12:35, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Must have done it while doing editing patrol for spelling errors in good faith. I'll make sure I don't do it in the future.Yachtsman1 (talk) 19:26, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

re: Battle of the Severn

Sorry, I'm not very active on Wikipedia anymore, I'm pretty busy with other things. I'm sure another member of WikiProject Maryland would be glad to help.-Jeff ^(talk) 22:38, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

Battle of the Severn

Nice job on the article, I condensed your references and removed several dead (red) links. I also assessed it a "C" class article. One question: you say that this was the last battle of the English civil war which ended in 1651 but the battle occurred 5 years later. This battle apparently had no impact upon that war as the war had been over for quite awhile. If there is an answer you should put it in the article with a reference.--«Marylandstater» ^«reply» 23:02, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

DYK

hen you finish, you should nominate the article to be shown on Wikipedia's front page, as a DYK article. The article will get plenty of exposure for that day. But you have to nominate it within 5 days of its creation.--«Marylandstater» ^«reply» 13:59, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Yachtsman1, I've left one more minor comment on your nomination here. Please respond ASAP, since we've got to hurry to get this article to the front page before it gets to old! Thanks, —Politizer ^talk/_contribs 21:22, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. The sources for the Annapolis and Providence stuff look good...I'm still a little concerned about Orlady's comment, though, mentioning that she only found one source for the fact that it was the last battle of the war, and that the source might not be reliable. Do you have any other sources you could add to that? I tried to look for some, but to be honest I wasn't sure where in the article to look for that info. Anyway, once that last thing is cleared up, I think we should be good to go. —Politizer ^talk/_contribs 00:29, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

DYK for Battle of the Severn

On 15 December, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Battle of the Severn, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

WikiGnome Reminder

Hi. As I was reading about your great contributions on Wikipedia (I'm impressed!), I happened to notice that on your userpage, you are attempting to respond to potential questions regarding reversion of edits. It's a minor thing, but "rollback" and "revert" are technically not the same function on Wikipedia, although many people use them inter-changeably. Currently, only users with WP:ROLL are allowed to use the rollback function. All other edits are considered to be "reverts" or "undo's", as corny as that last one sounds. If you use TWINKLE or HUGGLE, there is a rollback option when patrolling for vandalism, but the action posts as "revert" for people who are not admins. I thought I'd point it out, just in case it was an oversight. Best wishes for the new year. --OliverTwisted ^(Talk) (Stuff) 08:29, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

• Here's a WikiGnome tip: You can change the way your signature appears on your posts by visiting: WP:SIGN and doing some minor cut and paste. Cheers! --OliverTwisted ^(Talk) (Stuff) 08:34, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
• Congratulations on your new rollback status. You are becoming completely wikified! If you look in the upper right hand corner of this page, you'll notice a little gift, which most Wikipedia editors are proud to display. Best regards. --OliverTwisted ^(Talk) (Stuff) 04:45, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

Your request for rollback

After reviewing your request for rollback, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

• Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
• Rollback can be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
• Rollback may be removed at any time.

If you no longer want rollback, then contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some information on how to use rollback, you can view this page. I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, just leave me a message if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Happy editing! — Aitias // discussion 22:56, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

Thank you. I will use it sparingly.Yachtsman1 (talk) 23:02, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

Enhanced Interrogation Techniques

Hello Yachtsman1,

I'd like to discuss the article "Enhanced Interrogation Techniques" with you, but I think we can present our thoughts better in real time, where we have constant feedback. So I give you my ICQ#: 121860056. If you prefer another type of messenger or chat, please let me know and I'll see to, that I can install it.

Best regards, Larkusix (talk) 07:30, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Response with regards to EIT

It is rather obnoxious the way people insist on not having a neutral article for Enhanced Interrogation Techniques. I have mostly just corrected and re-corrected the leading section, but the whole article has problems, and might even need to be re-written. JEN9841 (talk) 20:07, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Response

I saw your comments at the ANI. Indeed, some edits look almost like User:Giovanni33 or perhaps User:Jacob Peters (I do not mean you of course). I will be watching to perhaps collect some eveidence. Your comments about this would be welcome.Biophys (talk) 14:51, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

Well, that was interesting reading indeed. Note that User:Giovanni33 meets dissenting views with the same "POV pushing" model as user:Viriditas. There are striking similarities in their writing styles, debate techniques, and refusal to acknowledge consensus and to roundly ignore countering viewpoints. The same snarky comments and objectification of the "vast right wing conspiracy" are used to marginalize and objetify dissenting editors. Also, note that the article has a number of "curious" IP edits that have only made one or two edits, but which center on this article almost exclusively, then are never used again. Having looked now at the history of the banned user in question, I must admit that the evidence is rather strong, though I am certainly not an impartial observer.--Yachtsman1 (talk) 17:19, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

I just noticed Viriditas incredibly ridiculous ANI complaint

This editor is entirely out-of-control, and you are correct re the WP:Ownership issues.Mosedschurte (talk) 17:42, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

Yes indeed, totally out of control at this point. Goes berzerk when anyone disagrees with her POV.Yachtsman1 (talk) 17:48, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

Human Rights in Los Angeles California seeking editing suggestions

Hi there, This is my first time on wikipedia, I actually came looking for sosmething else, and then noticed that human rights in the U.s. was on the table,and could not resist. I have years of experience in publishing and editing in peer reviewed science,and I also edited two books of fine literature. I consider myself very good at listening and accepting criticism.

I appreciate you style in editing. I was unfocused, and following your comment I removed the paragraph I entered there on Pico entirely.

But I do have important material that is fully referenced to contribute on human rights in the u.S. However, it irritated someone, and I decided to move it to my talk page, and seek editing sugggestions before moving it back to the main page.

Anytthoughts about the subject, and also about the mechanics of editing and formatting here would eb gratefully acknowledged.

I hope to hear from you!

Jz12345678 (talk)Jz12345678 —Preceding undated comment added 21:07, 22 June 2009 (UTC).

Hi Yachtsman: Please take a look at Human Rights in Los Angeles County, California 1985-2009. I tried to format it closer to Wikipedia standards. I get into some trouble with the References. I inserted a couple of them, but each time I got "display error" on my screen, which I have never encountered before. Moreover, the references as they appear now do not show the text that was supposed to be in them. Any suggestion would be gratefully accepted. Jz12345678 (talk) 02:02, 24 June 2009 (UTC)Jz12345678

Jonestown and NPOV

Thanks, I didn't know that had been posted, and I'm not finding any link on the Jonestown talk page or any user talk pages that would serve to notify anyone involved. I would really have preferred to stay out of it, but what I've seen becomes more outrageous with the passing of time. Wildhartlivie (talk) 01:14, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

This involves you, as well.Mosedschurte (talk) 10:19, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Per your and Biophys' suggestion, along with the ANI board's suggestion, an RfCU was started instead that is here. Per the RfCU rules, you should probably certify, and also include efforts to resolve disputes (with a diff) in the appropriate section. Two people (I'm obviously one) are needed in 48 hours for the RfCU to go forward.Mosedschurte (talk) 11:53, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Drone attacks on Pakistan by the United States

So in my meandering on wikipedia I come across the article Drone attacks on Pakistan by the United States and I immediately noticed the unusual title for the article. I quickly went to the discussion page to see if there was a debate about it, and what do you know, my old friend Yachtsman has put my thoughts down already! This title truly is unacceptable, and I will leave a comment on its talk page. If you want to try to get something going on its renaming, I'll be all for it. JEN9841 (talk) 01:26, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

I have boldly moved the page Drone attacks on Pakistan by the United States to Drone attacks in Pakistan by the United States. We'll see what happens. JEN9841 (talk) 02:04, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Okay. We shall see.--Yachtsman1 (talk) 04:09, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

I have just posted to the NPOV board. You can check it out, as long as it does not get archived soon, as it seems to be far down the list. JEN9841 (talk) 05:10, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

It is nice to see the issue was resolved. Thank you again for your help. JEN9841 (talk) 02:29, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

My pleasure.--Yachtsman1 (talk) 02:34, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Unfortunately, the WP:Wikihounding continues

Viriditas not only opened up a new ANI section on both you and I -- but he/she failed to give any notice of the new section to me, and I'm assuming you. The same overt baseless attacks, claiming this was part of a "harrassment" of her, when in fact it was at the request of Administrators and editors , such as here, here and here. If you were not notified, you might want to drop a note about it there.Mosedschurte (talk) 03:28, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
