Bukhar[i]an Jews

edit

Your remarks toward me on this article's talkpage are wholly unacceptable. Please review WP:NPA. Your belligerant attitude and your acrimonious remarks do nothing to build consensus, instead they betray a fundamental failure to understand civility. Tomertalk 19:31, 28 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

You have now made an absolute mess. I don't even know yet how to fix it, but what you've done now violates GFDL, a gross breach of Wikipedia policy. I'm going to try to figure out how to undo it, and recommend that you leave the article alone until we work out the whole naming thing on the talkpage. Tomertalk 00:27, 30 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Continued reverts

edit

Shavua` tov. If you continue with your pov-pushing and removal of requests for citations, you will find yourself blocked. Kol tov, Tomertalk 03:11, 4 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Why don't you stop doing what you're doing. If I will be blocked, you will also deserve to be blocked. It won't be fair.

What I'm doing it removing your insertion of bias, based on your personal experience, into the article, and reinserting the requests for citation that you keep removing. What you are doing constitutes vandalism on the last count, and failure to follow consensus on the second. Your persistence and failure to contribute constructively to discussion on the article talk page (preferring instead to treat it as a blog in most cases, indicate that you are more interested in using Wikipedia as a soapbox, rather than in working collaboratively on an encyclopedia. I highly recommend that you read each and every one of the links I have put into this comment, as your activities are in direct violation of a number of core Wikipedia policies, which constitutes grounds for blocking. Regards, Tomertalk 00:27, 5 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

What you're doing is violating wikipedia. You are putting false information on this site. This is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. Are you telling me that you're allowed to post false statements on wikipedia?

No, what I'm telling you is that you're the one who's posting false statements on Wikipedia, and that if you don't stop it, you're going to be blocked. I tire of your petulance. Tomertalk 23:20, 5 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

What it meams

edit

Hi. You cannot add your own opinions of what historical events consisted of or what naming conventions and designations are. In the interest of neutral exposition, you need to attribute your claims to citations of reliable sources so that these can be verified as not being your own original invention, or at least, that they represent the scholarly consensus. If, however, you continue to edit war and revert without comment, your block will continue to increase until you will no longer be permitted to continue editing here. Thanks in advance. El_C 00:55, 6 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Regrettably, since you did not respond, and continued to revert without attempting to discuss the underlying issues, you have been blocked for 48 hours. Please do read carefully what I wrote to you above. Many thanks again. El_C 01:46, 6 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Content Dispute on Bukhori language

edit

Hey, I noticed you are in the middle of a content dispute on Bukhori language and a possibly an edit war. Please be mindful of WP:3RR and try not to respond to incivility with more incivility. If you are having a major disagreement with this editor you should open a request for a 3rd Opinion. If the user is being incivil you should file a report on [[1]]. Nn123645 (talk) 17:55, 18 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

But TShiloh doesn't respect me or any Bukharians. He doesn't listen to what I say. He's ignorant and hostile towards me and I apparently don't appreciate that. I know that in the beginning, I wasn't so kind to him but at least I apoligized. He doesn't even care.—Preceding unsigned comment added by LeeMulod333 (talkcontribs)
Then I would open up a report on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikiquette_alerts and seek a Request for Comment on him.Nn123645 (talk) 18:03, 18 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
Here is a good flow chart for how to deal with a difficult editor http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Difficult_editor_-_flow_chart.png. Nn123645 (talk) 18:05, 18 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
Also, something that I should probably add. The ideal page to discuss content is on the Talk page of an article, not in the edit summaries. So I would definatly place a message there and probably go to his user talk page and place a link to the message you placed on the article talk page. Nn123645 (talk) 18:16, 18 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
LeeMulod333, you know full well that you are lying. I don't have anything against Bukharans. I do listen to what you say. Listening to what you say, however, does not mean that once I've listened, that I am required to agree with you. As you are well aware, you have not contributed anything other than "I'm Bukharian, so I should know what Bukharians are called in English" to the relevant discussion on Talk:Bukharan Jews. As I have explained to you ad nauseum, your say-so may be good enough for your user page, but is not good enough for an encyclopedia. Your refusal to contribute constructively to that discussion has done nothing to elevate your credibility. Your reverting a number of editors who disagree with you, characterizing their edits as "vandalism", and characterizing them as "ignorant", "stupid", "disrespectful" "idiots" does even less to garner any respect for yourself. Your saying that I am the cause of antisemitism because I disagree with you is a real low, even for you. When you remove requests for citation from articles and call the requests for citation "vandalism", you are, yourself, engaging in vandalism. When you are the sole editor reverting people who, if you knew anything about them, you should be ashamed of yourself for reverting and denigrating (and no, I'm not talking about myself), in order to insert your POV spelling, you are doing so in violation of wikipedia policies which I have already listed for you elsewhere. Whining and complaining that people don't respect you will garner you no respect from anyone who goes to investigate, where they will find your path of destruction and probably end up blocking you permanently, something I have not done for the singular reason that I am an involved party, and a perception of conflict of interest might raise its head. At this point, I admit, I think a permanent block is the only thing that will stop your rampage. Tomertalk 04:09, 19 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

I think that a permanent block is good for you too. But I'm not doing that. We should leave the Bukharian Jewish page the way it is because it has both Bukharan and Bukharian in the article. I think that's far. As for the notable Bukharians, I think that some of them can have Bukharan in their bio. What do you think? — Preceding unsigned comment added by LeeMulod333 (talkcontribs) 18:01, 19 November 2007

As I have said, the name, regardless of whether you like it, most often used in English language primary sources, is "Bukharan". Including "Bukharian" is an acquiescence to the fact that a significant portion of the community itself seems to prefer that spelling. Primary sources, however, overwhelmingly do not. The name used in Wikipedia should reflect what the majority of primary sources use, as Wikipedia is not in the business of advocating a minority spelling--as I have said previously: Wikipedia articles report what it found in primary sources, it does not advocate positions, nor does it prefer minority spellings at the expense of majority spellings. Wikipedia is not a democracy, nor is it a place for every minor group to come and carve out a place for advocacy. Doing so would be a complete violation of a great many "NOT"s in WP:NOT. Using the spelling "Bukharian" may be acceptable in some places, and it should definitely be used in names of organizations which use that spelling, as I have spelled out weeks ago already on Talk:Bukharan Jews, a discussion you didn't bother to participate in, at least not in anything remotely resembling "constructively".
On the subject of your advocating a permanent block against me, I think you'll have to come up with something more substantial than my disagreeing with your opinions. As for blocking me yourself, I think you will find you can't. Tomertalk 05:53, 20 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

I really don't want to get back to the same subject by you have to admitt it. By saying that there is no such thing as Bukharian is being ignorant to the culture. Can you please explain?

Explain what? You are the one who has said there is no such thing as Bukharan. I have not said there's no such thing as Bukharian. How can I explain something I haven't said? As far as ignorance goes, saying "ignorant to" demonstrates ignorance of English. There is nothing here for me to admit to, so far as I can see. Tomertalk 05:16, 21 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

In English, both terms are excepted. But Bukharians, especially the ENGLISH-SPEAKING ones call themselves Bukharian Jews, not Bukharan. I heard that Bukharians recently made a Bukharian lobby in the US. The lobby is not called Bukharan. Don't you think that Bukharians would know what they are talking about? And a lot of resources where people do address my people as Bukharans are wrong. Bukharan isn't a term. But to make you happy, I will keep some notable Bukharians as Bukharans and in the article, both names will be mentioned. I'm being more tolerant than you here.

Personal attacks

edit

  It is fine to discuss and disagree with edits, but it is against Wikipedia policy to make personal attacks on other editors, which you did in this edit summary. From looking at your talk page, it appears that you have previously engaged in such hostile editing. You do not know why the previous editor deleted information from Sarah Jessica Parker, unless that editor has specifically stated the reasons. To attribute the edit to anti-Israel and anti-Zionistic motives is disrespectful and needlessly has the potential to stir up conflict. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks will lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you.

Dushanbe synagogue

edit

Hi, I noticed your comment at the talk page of the Dushanbe synagogue article. I recently added two new images to the article, taken by another user. They were taken in June 2006, although the article says that demolition began in February 2006. Can you please verify whether the two images in the article (I'll re-post them here) were of this synagogue or the new one on on Nazyina Khikmeta Street? Was a new synagogue even built? Finally, can you please verify this sentence: Two other synagogues in Tajikistan were also closed during the Soviet period. Thank you very much. Khoikhoi 23:16, 22 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion of "Po Sit"

edit
 

A page you created, Po Sit, has been tagged for deletion, as it meets one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion; specifically, it is about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how they are important or significant, and thus why they should be included in an encyclopedia. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and the guidelines for biographies in particular.

You are welcome to contribute content which complies with our content policies and any applicable inclusion guidelines. However, please do not simply re-create the page with the same content. You may also wish to read our introduction to editing and guide to writing your first article.

Image source problem with Image:Dorrit.jpg

edit
 
Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:Dorrit.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 01:57, 11 November 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 01:57, 11 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Zvia Leviev Alazarov

edit
 

A tag has been placed on Zvia Leviev Alazarov requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. — Zhernovoi (talk) 17:34, 7 June 2010 (UTC)Reply
