NATO

Please check any links you put into an article. One of your links to NATO led to a Microsoft home page, which we don't want, SqueakBox 16:32, September 11, 2005 (UTC)

There was a typo in the format, now fixed Asterion 18:33, September 11, 2005 (UTC)

It looks fine now. I couldn't see a good reason to have a special anti NATO section but having anti NATO articles is a good thing. I like the Solana article you put in but we already have it as the 5th article in the link section, SqueakBox 19:58, September 11, 2005 (UTC)

Vandalism in Morocco- andWestern Sahara-related articles

===>No immediate solutions I genuinely believe that Fayssal edits in good faith, but I also believe that he has been heavily propagandized or can't see beyond his own political biases. On the other hand, Daryou has deliberately removed pertinent information, and I don't think has as much charity regarding actual neutrality in the dispute. I don't have a particular way of stopping their edits, other than contacting an administrator, and seeing if he thinks they amount to vandalism, or locking the pages. I think the best route is to discuss the issue on the Talk pages, as Fayssal has made some germane points on Western Sahara's page, and I think I should edit the page with them in mind.

Thanks very much. I have compromised before i.e. replacing "illegaly occupied" by "occupied" but he still reverts them to his original edits. Asterion 19:03, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

please use my page of discussion

hello, I'm not a vandal and I will not be one. I just restored the page of WS to a previous version of Fayssal that's all. I'm trying to discuss (see the page of discussion of WS), You'll see that Koavf admit that he's not neutral. he is imposing informations about SADR (flag president, etc) in an infobox. I think that this infobox musn't be here. I can stop editing this page if Koavf stop doing it. Daryou 21:19, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

Daryou

please help me to erease the infobox of SADR from the page WS. Koavf is accusing me of vandalism just because I don't have the same POV of him. He recognized his pro-polisario opinion so I don't understand why he continues to edit the page while he's not neutral??!!! I just reverted the page to a previous version (Last Fayssal's version) So why is he accusing me of vandalism and not Fayssal or Icairns (see the history of the page), Is it just because I'm new in WP or what??. Please help me. I just want to discuss. Daryou 16:52, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

I think that the best way to resolve the dispute is to request a Mediation, what do you think about it? Daryou 20:33, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

Non-Catholics

Is the view that secret Arianists helped Muslims generalized? What about the part of gate openers played by Jews in Medieval chronicles? Is it true or just anti-Semitic? --Error 01:19, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

There is not much published in English, I am afraid. I would recommend you any of the books by Luisa Isabel Alvarez de Toledo. She is the current Duchess of Medina Sidonia, and holder of one of the largest historical archives in Spain. All her books are in Spanish only.

You could also try to dig out an old book in French called Les arabes n'ont jamais envahi l'Espagne, by Ignacio Olagüe. However I am critic of this one for several reasons. If you manage to find it, also look out for Les arabes ont bien envahi l'Espagne, an article published in Annales E.S.C, by Prof. Guichard.

Regarding Sephardim, check the separate wikipedia article, recently updated Asterion 16:40, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
