I added a link on the Namus talk page to some new material that may want to incorporate and footnote into the article. -- Jreferee 19:25, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

An article which you started, or significantly expanded, namus, was selected for DYK!

Islam and women

Hi! The category you made needs to be consistent with other cats and its own content. Out of pages about Persian women, only one article namely Persian women's movement may belong to this category, as Islamic law is in power during last three decades and Persian women (muslims, jewish, christian, atheists ...) are all struggling with Islamic laws. Other articles can not be categorized under Islam as Persian culture is more close to Zoroastrianism than to Islam. Please discuss your ideas with wikipedians working on Iranian pages before editing them in future. Categorizing people based on religion is not acceptable unless the person is a cleric or religion is the dominant feature of his/her identity. See categories for deletion:[1] Fooladin 21:21, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Yes, "Allah is patient." But it seems you are not! The definition of a category must be based on consensus. Apparently you think "nothing can be done without your approval." You said "This category is about women interacting with Islam." Well the answer is simple. This is your personal definition. Ofcourse western societies (including women!) are also struggling with Islam. Islamic society either means ummah (the accurate meaning) or arab society (as arab culture and islamic culture are melted in eachother). The article on "Iranian women" is not about women of modern Iran. Modern Iranian women (19th century and 20th century) is the subject of "Persian women's movement". Any material in wikipedia needs to be based on consensus. I have seen that you refuse to categorize pages about European women and American women under "Category:Christianity and women". Are you saying women in Europe did not interact with christianity? Why should we have always a double standard? I will never be tired of discussion. and I try to assume good faith. Fooladin 09:07, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
OK. You convinced me. You convinced me that you are seriously committed to ignore other people's opinion and are going to use all kinds of crooked logic and insinuations. If you are going to pull this "double standard" trick, why don't you go and create category:Iranian men? Mukadderat 08:21, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Answer to your question: "Are you saying Iran is not Islamic country?" Viewing Iran as a Islamic country is the Iran's government's policy which has been critisized widely during last three decades. The word ummah was used by Ayatollah Khomeini for the first time in Iran and was a part of his policy. Yes, Iran is NOT an Islamic country (a meaningless term), Iran has an Islamic government. Any ways, It is a contemporary issue and contemporary Iranian women is the subject of "Persian women's movement" article. "Iranian women" article is about Persian culture and how women were depicted in miniatures, poetry, literature in ancient times. How traditional Persian dress look like etc. It means the article tries to define Persian women in contrast to women in other cultures including Islamic culture. For example You see pictures of women with no Islamic dress, drinking wine etc. This is the dominant picture of women in Persian miniatures. I am not saying this culture is good or bad. I am not saying muslim women and Islamic culture is good or bad either. I hope it is now clear. Fooladin 09:45, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Not clear. there are women. There is a dominant religion. It is even more interesting to see that "islamic" dress is not an obligatory attribute of Islam, despite Western attempts to draw this picture of "women in black" over all Islamic world. By refusing my classification you are effectively supporting the western stereotype that Islamic world is all harems, stoning of women, forced marriages, jihad, paranja/hijab/chachvan, ritual killings (while Christian World is all peace and democracy and women rights) What?... There is no Christian World in wikipedia???? Mukadderat 17:22, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Crazy Commies

I noticed that you (might or might not) have the article Economy of the Soviet Union in your watchlist. This article is need of serious work but it's a big task. If you are so interested I'd love your help. NeoFreak 22:50, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

No. I just joined "vandalism patrol". Unfortunately I have absolutely nothing to say about Soviet Union. Judging from the very sparse talk in the talk page, I see that no one is really interested in beating the dead horse. Mukadderat 23:06, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
No worries. I'm going to beat that dead horse to death (again) when I find the time. Right now I'm embroiled in a disaster with the NeoPagan wikiproject so I'll just hope that I have the time to get around to it. I've also raised some some concerns about the deltion project after Elara left. I'm pretty sure you're a member but I might be wrong. Hit me up about that when you get a chance. NeoFreak 23:15, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
No, I am not an "official and self-aware deletionist", but I do sometimes spend some time on voting for deletion (and mostly for deletion; I maintain that if something is worth keeping, someone will write a good article sooner or later, so no reasn to "defend" them in AfD, so in a way yes, I am a "deletionist", but not a "proactive" one). Mukadderat 23:26, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
I don't want you to think that I'm asking for support, the creation of the new deltionist cabal is a bit away :). Don't worry about upadating my talk page, I'll just watchlist yours. you and I seem to have alot of congruent opinions on Wikipedia, I'll just let that run its course.

Prothesis

Hello,

I'm trying to make the articles on sound changes/rhetorical devices more precise, and also to give them a common format. The section on prothesis as it is now is I think a loosely structured laundry list. I want to categorize the different types of prothesis according to the different senses of the word, which may refer either to 1. a historical sound change, or 2. a grammatical rule. That's how I've organized other articles on related topics. I don't see that any important information was lost in the change. If there is something specific that you think was deleted, how about we change the article to my new format, and you add in that information in the appropriate place? All your reverts have certainly removed at least 1 bit of specific information (the IPA pronunciation and the corrected etymology).--Gheuf 19:13, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

AFD discussion

Hello, you participated in the AfD discussion for Lowercase i prefix. That discussion was closed with a "keep" decision but I felt there was enough consensus to warrant merging the information to Internet-related prefixes. I have placed a comment regarding my decision to go ahead and perform this merge on the talk page here and as you participated in the original discussion wished to alert you to this action and invite you to comment if you felt it was inappropriate. Thanks! Arkyan • (talk) 06:05, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Vesica piscis

You have continued to ignore everyone else and delete content from this article saying it is supposedly "unreferenced", after plenty of references for it have already been provided both in the article and in the talk page, but which you have obviously preferred not to have even a cursory look at. If you continue with this attitude, I will report you for vandalism. Uaxuctum 11:55, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

The references for the geometric construction are available both in the article and in the talk page. You have been warned twice but chose to ignore it, so now you will be reported for your continued vandalic edits to this article.

Please stop. If you continue to blank out (or delete portions of) page content, templates or other materials from Wikipedia, as you did to Vesica piscis, you will be blocked from editing. <unsigned; added by : Uaxuctum 11:55, 6 June 2007 (UTC)>

All explained in edit comments and talk:Vesica piscis. Please use article talk page to resolve disagreements, rather than arbitrarily apply tags intended for anynymous vandals. Please also don't forget to sign your posts in talk pages. Mukadderat 16:36, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Deletion policy

Muk: I do not find it be to helpful for a policy to say what the subject not. I prefer policy to say what the subject is. Telling me that courtesy blanking is "extremely rare" is not helpful. The only user at Wikipedia that I have ever seen do courtesy blanking is Jimbo. It goes against the undocumented goal of transparency. That transparency is more a significant side-effect in the MediaWiki technology that stated policy, but clearly exists and, based on outside news sources, is a perceived as a significant aspect of the Wikipedia project. If you are so very familiar with what courtesy blanking is and how it is currently practiced at Wikipeida, then please demonstrate your expertise by describing it on that page. Otherwise, please let me demonstrate my expertise in the matter. If you find the results strange then please consider the possibility that the reason is because you are more familiar with how the "undo" button works that with how courtesy blanking works within the project.--Mightyms 06:08, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

You state that "policies are not edited lightly". But you do not state what policy editing is. Do you know that policy editing is? Have you studied it? Can describe it? Should I assume that the reason why is because all you know is a few things that policy editing is not and have no idea what policy editing is? Again: you are not being helpful: as far as I can tell, you are just hitting the undo button because it is the dumb, easy thing to do. Here is a challenge for you: go find me three examples of courtesy blanking so that we can study such useful and rare examples of the phenomena. I have already given you some clues, which you reverted. Good luck.--Mightyms 06:43, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
Muk: Please consider plainly declaring yourself to be a deletionist on your userpage. Your contribs indicate that this is what you are. You have an innate drive to condemn the results of others that you allow to be expressed. Maybe it makes you feel superior. But, as far as I could see in my quick scan, you have done little to help make the existing body of policy clear, direct, plain, focused and accessible to existing users.--07:08, 1 October 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mightyms (talk • contribs)
Muk: You never studied human perception in detail, have you? Go study the work ofElizabeth Loftus and then maybe listen to David Weinberger's Berkman talk, and then come back and tell me what you know. You write "Colleague, you are new to the project..." Do you not think that perhaps I know who I am? Remember: On the Internet, Nobody Knows You're a Dog. When you make such assertions, you should restrict yourself to what you know with a high degree of confidence and specificity. All you know at the moment is that the account I am using only started making edits a few days ago. I am not very interested in any iterative edit conflicts with you. My goal is to create new knowledge. It is very easy for you to just go hit the "undo" button and erase that knowledge.--Mightyms 07:25, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Your edit to Vorarephilia

I've reverted your edit to Vorarephilia. You removed a ref claiming that the ref "does not introduce this term", but I'm not sure what you mean. The linked article does discuss vore in the section "You Look Tasty". Perhaps you just missed it? It's not a particularly large section, but given the small number of sources on the article, I'm loath to remove any of them without good reason. If you're disputing that the 'vore' that the article refers to isn't the same as the 'vorarephilia' that our encyclopedia article refers to, then I think you are mistaken. They are described as substantially similar, and the Straight Dope article specifically mentions 'vore' as a short form of 'vorarephilia'. If you feel that the article in The Wave Magazine shouldn't be used as a reference for our article, please bring it up on the article talk page so we can discuss it.

Vesica Piscis yonic interpretation

Hi Mukadderat, I've re-added the yonic interpretation to Vesica_piscis#Mystical_and_religious_significance, specifying it as a new age interpretation, together with the references from the talk page. As I understand matters, the yonic interpretation is a common new age interpretation (as attested by the number of references), but I don't know if there is any evidence for it as a traditional interpretation. I've tried to reflect this in the article; from the Talk:Vesica_piscis#Vulva_shape_and_symbolism, this topic has come up before, and you've been concerned about it, so I wanted to alert you and discuss it (User:Mikkalai also seems interested). Nbarth (talk) 00:53, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

(Re: your reply) Got it -- trust the references are sufficient. I came across it from math, specifically Lens (geometry), and recalled having heard of it in gender studies of art.

AIV reports

Thank you for making a report on Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. Reporting and removing vandalism is vital to the functioning of Wikipedia and all users are encouraged to revert, warn, and report vandalism. However, administrators are generally only able to block users if they have received a recent final warning (one that mentions that the user may be blocked) and they have recently vandalized after that warning was given. The reported user has not yet been blocked because it appears this has not occurred yet. If this user continues to vandalize even after their final warning, please report them to the AIV noticeboard again. For more info, see Wikipedia:Guide to administrator intervention against vandalism. Thanks! GlassCobra 17:12, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Kishlak

Hi, just wondering about this edit of yours in the Chon Tash article. From the article, a "kishlak" appears to be a winter pasture, but in the Chon Tash article your edit implies that it's synonymous with "village". Also, is the word "kishlak" actually Kyrgyz? I'm sure I'm missing something, but at first glance it doesn't seem to make sense to even mention the word in this article at all, let alone as a synonym with "village". Can you shed any light on this? - Hux (talk) 10:04, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Biruitorul's RfA

"Just the same, from your retort I may conclude that he will abandon editing these articles with the special purpose to have his hands free to enforce prevalence of other Romanian editors by admin actions"

With all due respect, but from my words you can conclude only about me. I am not in association with him to win an adminship. In fact if you review a little, you will notice that I brought him only harm. Nominating him for admin was my ego, he could have lived very well, and perhaps much better, without my participation. Apparently I also caught him on the wrong foot, as he appears to have wanted to have a vacation away from WP (he speaks of mid-April?)

"he does not want to increase his vote count by stating that he will not intervene as admin there"

I don't get what you mean. But anyway, it doesn't matter.

"And Biruitorul (and their defendants) didn't make a single counter-offer towards a compromise in this aspect, which is also a bad sign."

Why should I make counter-offers. I am not running for anything. I only like throughing lines here and there to infatuate the spirits :)
But honestly, would you have changed your mind if Biruitorul would have "offered" something? Not withstanding that I would have considered it very imoral, and could very probably stop talking to him if he would have done that. that's called buying votes in my country. even if you take obligations you would do anyway. Dc76\talk 00:27, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

"And in your pinkish Europe the revolutionary France forbids women to dress how they like."

"promise to not use his admin power in Romania-Moldova wikipedian wars if it will help to avoid possible tensions and accusations in taking sides"

Oh, that's what you mean! I thought you wanted him to promiss not to block Romanian POV-pushers. There is one guy, User:Bonaparte. He has a new sock every other day. Because of him, Mikkalai thinks of us all bad, even of such fine users ar Biruitorul. I asked Biruitorul that if he gets the adminship, the first priority to be stopping Bonaparte. And I asked him nothing more. So for him to promiss you that he wouldn't come cloase to Romania article would have been hypocrisy. As long as you don't prevent him acting against Bonaparte, I'm fine.
By buying votes I mean inventing new promisses in the middle of the campain. You have something to promiss, do it before people start critisizing you. At least, based on this principle, I vote. Dc76\talk 01:03, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
"oh that's what you mean!" Yes, that's what I mean and that's what I mean: I strongly suspect that no one (including Biruitorul) really read carefully my proposal: "Biruitorul recuses from administrative actions against editors in good standing (Biruitorul's judgement on "who is who" suffices here) in areas of potential conflict with Biruitorul's convictions (Romania/Moldova/Transnistria/Hungary inter-ethnic, inter-state relations only)". This condition of changing my vote is the condition which alleviate my major objection: "insufficient demonstration of human communication skills". And the Mikka thing was just one example why I came to this conclusion: IMO Biruitorul handled it incorrectly. And by a coincidence I think Mikka's suggestion is good to compensate for this drawback: I think this drawback is less critical in areas which are not areas of conflict involving his convictions: it is a matter of general human psychology. And as a by-product I think it is a good general idea. So if I ever will aspire for adminship, this will be my promise: not to "govern" any areas where I have strong opinions (I don't know yet how to formulate this in a falsifiable manner). Like I already wrote, it is nothing but an extension of the rule that an admin cannot admin the page he edits. Mukadderat (talk) 01:22, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
I really hope Biruitorul sees this. I am afraid he misunderstood you as I did. Frankly I do read different things when I read your comments here and there. But forget it - it is important I understand you now.
About hijab in court, I don't think laws should regulate that, but if they do, we have to obey them. We can not choose to obey only certain laws, otherwise we go back to the stone age. So, either she takes it down, or she does not step inside the court (her laywer however can represent her, so there is no real hinder) It's her habit that prevents her from entering the court, not a third party's obsession. Note that I have nothing against her wearing it, on the contrary. Dc76\talk 01:35, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
I don't think laws should regulate that" -- exactly. I don't think that the law should regulate that at all. I don't see fundamental difference between the law which enforces wearing hijab and the one which enforces not wearing hijab. But let us forget about this now: we will not solve the problems of the world in wikipedia: we can only describe them. Mukadderat (talk) 01:45, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Silantyev not Islamologist

The source doesnt say that Silantyev is an Islamologist. I assume that the term "Islamologist" means a scholar on Muslims and their related issues. I have never come across this term before. However, the source does say that he is just the executive secretary of the Inter-religious Council in Russia. I have not come across any fact saying that Silantyev is an Islamologist. I am going to undo the changes that you have made unless you give me a proper reference as to where in the SOURCE does it say that he is an Islamologist. Please reply back. JOYSON (talk)

How is adding the category "Former Muslims" with "Converts from Islam to Christianity" redundant? I can understand "Converts to Christianity" being redundant but how is "Former Muslims" redundant? It just classifies him into the ex-muslim category. JOYSON (talk)

By stating that he was a "Muslim who converted to Christianity" is all that is needed. "A former Muslim who converts from Islam to Cristianity" is like saying, for lack of a better analogy, the ex-member of the church that he left, to join another church.208.254.130.235 (talk) 23:19, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

hello

Hello

You reverted one of my edits today:

You are of course welcome to revert an edit you don't agree about... but I have to say I was surprised to see that you used an edit summary accusing me of vandalism: "rvv".

I explained my grounds for removing the external link in my edit summary (per WP:EL). The external link appears to be self-published, and it mentions the topic of the article only in passing, not in a substantive way.

If it's important to you that it stay in the article, I won't make a big deal about it, though I don't see why you'd find it important.

But whether or not you agree with one of my edits, I don't appreciate my good-faith work receiving an accusation of vandalism, so I thought I should post a note to let you know you misread the situation in this case.

One revert per day

Articles in category:Prem Rawat are subject to community-enforced article probation restrictions for a period of three months, ending June 4 2008. Probation will be re-assessed at the end of that period, and extended if needed. Editors violating 1RR (one revert per editor per day), or that engage in disruptive editing may incur escalating blocks performed by uninvolved admins, or have other reasonable restrictions placed on them in relation to these topics. Editors must be individually notified of article probation before admin actions are undertaken. Violations, along with a link to this probation notice, should be posted to WP:AN/I, where uninvolved editors will make a determination. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 22:09, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

FYI, that's a standard notice posted on the talk page of every involved editor.
Like you, I have no special interest in Prem Rawat. However, disinterest doesn't give us special privileges. I know that uninvolved editors may wander into an article and say, "how come we're not calling a spafde a spade", or "why is there no mention of the elephant in the room?" Sometimes it's because a single editors has made havoc on NPOV, and sometimes it's because invovled editors have worked out, after lengthy debate, some formula that's minimally acceptable to them. Anyway, please self-revert your last addition of the material, as it's in violation of the special article probation and you may be blocked if you don't. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 23:33, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
I will be very appalled if anyobe decides to block me. Blocks are not tools of punishment. They are tools of pereventing further disruption. Since I already posted in the corresponding talk page willingness to follow the rule once I am aware of it, the block for my past actions will be a grave violation of the policies and spirit of wikipedia.

Guidelines about notability

I noticed that you removed my reference to Stargate Atlantis from the Coulrophobia article, just hours after I wrote it. I had not found anything in advance that prevented me from writing what I did, and I have now looked through Wikipedia:Trivia sections, Wikipedia:"In popular culture" articles and Wikipedia:Notability (in popular culture), but I could not find guidelines anywhere. The latter proposal has been rejected, by the way. I have even read Talk:Coulrophobia#"Popularity in the media", where the conclusion seems to be that a character associated with coulrophobia qualifies to be in the list. John Sheppard has admitted twice to having coulrophobia. (It is not just a case of being "scared of a clown", like the talk page mentions.)

The reason I am asking is that I try to learn how to behave on Wikipedia, and I am naturally trying to abide by the rules, but as I cannot find the rules this time, I have to ask. Also, I spent quite some time trying to find the correct quotes from Stargate Atlantis. The idea was to add something useful to article, i.e., not just a note about where it is mentioned so that the reader would have to check the source by himself, but also to supply a context, so that a reader could get an overview of how coulrophobia is being pictured in media. But, of course, if what I write is going to be considered spam and immediately removed, I certainly have better things to do than update Wikipedia. Therefore, I would appreciate if you could direct me to the guidelines I should read.

Thanks in advance! --τις (talk) 23:15, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Prem Rawat

This arbitration case has been closed and the final decision is available at the link above. Evidence presented did not disclose a history of problematic editing, in terms of basic content policy, by Jossi, and the Committee commended Jossi's self-imposed restriction to edit only talk pages for Prem Rawat related articles. Due to a history of incivility and personal attacks surrounding articles related to the Prem Rawat movement, the preexisting community enforced one-revert rule on Prem Rawat and related articles that commenced March 4, 2008, has been superceeded by Arbitration Committee enforced article probation.

Betacommand is not an admin. And, (in my opinion) he's been quite unreasonable on this issue. But, I don't think making the 3RR complaint was wise on your part. To me it looks like both of you are making a big deal out of something that doesn't have to be a big deal.

You're missing the point. Nobody can force somebody to apologize for anything. After a discussion on WP:AN, Betacommand has been placed on restrictions by the community: "He is banned from using an automated program to make edits, either on his main account, or bot account. He is also placed on a civility parole, and any edited seen as uncivil by an uninvolved administrator may lead to a block. Failure to comply with either of the restrictions will lead to a block of up to one week.- Ryan Postlethwaite 00:28, 25 May 2008 (UTC)". That's more than most get. - auburnpilot talk 21:05, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
It is you who missed the point I did not demand anybody to force an apology. I don't complain to admins. I demanded an apology and quietly wait either an apology or an explanation I don't deserve it. If a person refuses to apologize, it is quite weird that I must be blocked for this. If you don't see the logical fault in all this arrangement, then you all are in deep shit, but don't know this yet. The onbly hope that such cases will multiply and you will have to rethink your policies. I am saying "your" because I am threatened with short "career on wikipedia", so I guess I suddenly became nothing but a nuisance for your happy community simply beause I do not like being called vandal. talk) 21:19, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

POV in "Clown" article

Thanks for reminding me the wiki policy for expressing a POV and I must admit that my choise of words was crude. ButI must notify you that though it was somehow agressive it still was not more than a strong POV. I do think that both the "Clown" and "Coulrophobia" articles are dominated with pro-clown POVs and it seems as a state of sencorship is promoted on the talk articles. Many people dislike clowns and it is quite common POV that they are of no-good-taste but these opinions seem that are ostracised as hate messages or racistic comments. I have personally viewed talk section of religious articles that keep far most offensive POVs in light of individuals' confrotation as a healthy and inevadable way to express different angles of matter.--Draco ignoramus sophomoricus (talk) 23:19, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Russian jokes

Please do understand that the Russian jokes and, beyond it Russian political jokes are NOT the kind of content that can be verified by referencing and sourcing the material, since the most part of these pages contain historical jokes told by one Russian to another and today freely written in Russian newspaper. While I do understand your need for the articles to meet wikipedian standards, I believe that these cannot be canonized by such content filtering. Please merge the both articles into one if you feel that somehow the content is becoming too informal. Thank you, Shadiac (talk) 03:36, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Anwered back on mine. Thank you, Shadiac (talk) 17:56, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
If you're such a good policy follower, why don't you show me rules on Wikipedia where it says that any one has a right reverting hours of work of others to complete zero without giving a chance to that person to correct himself. No matter what I will rewrite that article and will add sources and even expand it, if possible. But I personally think you have no respect for others and the simple rule of "don't do to others what you wouldn't want others to do to you" is in no way your behavior.
I may have been harsh on you earlier, whereas you said that "before Wikipedia was allowed to be edited without sourcing". I agree. However, please know this: before Wikipedia was allowed to be reverted to zero of any edit. Today I am against it and if you feel it's unconstructive - recontruct it. Vandalism - de-vandalize. Unsourced - source. Yourself. But reverting work of others is inhumane (and I've always said this to anyone doing it to me). Thank you, Shadiac (talk) 21:00, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
All I'm asking you is not to delete the under construction template from the page for at least a week. I don't have time to get to that now, but I am willing to rewrite the article pretty soon. Thank you, Shadiac (talk) 20:28, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
Hey, pal. Do you know if there is a template or something with which you can indicate that in the history of an article, there is already good material, just needs sourcing so that other people would know and source it or edit it instead of starting everything anew? Thank you, Shadiac (talk) 15:36, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
Great. Do you personally believe this article is really worth working on? Or maybe it is better be deleted. Because unfortunately, I did not find many sources for it, and the other I found were inadequate. Why not just merge the article into Russian jokes instead? Besides, I liked this idea better since it's mainly more sourcable. Please let me know what you think. Thank you, Shadiac (talk) 04:45, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Manortown United

this article seems to be up for deletion. this seems unfair as the club are a well known dublin amateur soccer club with a respected history of bringing through young players who later have become professional players.

articles on similar clubs such Stillorgan Lakelands F.C. and Vale_View_Shankill_F.C. have been allowed and these clubs would not be as well known in the league system as Manortown.

this club has won trophies such as the Milk Cup and regularly competes at the FAI CUP and FAI Junior Cup, two trophies of some history and prestige in domestic soccer in Ireland.

The club has also been featured as the central theme of an RTE television program.

For these reasons, and that articles on clubs similar to itself have been accepted, i feel it would be grossly unfair if this article was deleted.

Re: Animal Names

Thanks for your comment. I don't really know what else I can add; it's possibly not the most verifiable fact in the world, but I thought it was worth adding - the only reference I have is that it was a cutting from a copy of Reader's Digest from perhaps 8 years ago, from their Q&A page. Somebody had written in asking questions about animal names, and (I presume) the Reader's Digest researcher gave that answer. If there's some information there that you think should be added to the article, please do.

Did you read the internet addiction paper?

To try and predict problematic Internet use in the workplace, Davis and colleagues designed the Online Cognition Scale to screen for possible Internet-related problems. They found that traits of decreased impulse control and procrastination appear to predict troublesome Internet use, and that in turn, high scores on their Scale predicted reprimands for Internet abuse.

Coulrophobia editing

This is in reference to the discussion about Coulrophobia, now in you Talk archive 2.

I agree that you cannot write rules about every mouseclick. The problems appear when someone removes something when there were actually reasons to keep it. From what I can see, you yourself agreed, in the Coulrophobia talk page, upon the suggestion that characters strongly associated with coulrophobia qualifies to appear in the article. When there obviously is a rule, not just a general one but one concerning how this specific article is to be written, why can we not use it?

If this rule is not enough, then maybe you could tell me why you did not follow the guideline "Trivia sections should not be categorically removed" in Wikipedia:Trivia?

You are now asking me about references. However, I know that you only ask rhetorically. Otherwise, you would have asked prior to removing anything, either in the article talk page or my talk page.

What kind of references are you really looking for? I did not make any claims about the issue, but merely described the way coulrophobia appeared in a show. The show in itself is of course a reliable, third-party, published source, proving that coulrophobia appears in television series.

My reason for writing about Stargate Atlantis, was to illustrate how coulrophobia is depicted in popular culture. Compared to others, who just wrote that a certain person in a certain episode is afraid of clowns, I wanted to give an accurate description, that could actually give some insights into the phenomenon (not just a list item). To achieve this, I spent quite some time, ensuring that the quote was exact and that the plot was described in as few words as possible, and also without writing a spoiler for the episodes.

Lastly, I'm wondering if the risk of losing a wikipedian is considered a cost, and what price you and others are willing to pay? Maybe there are reasons to handles these things carefully sometimes, if newly written paragraphs need to be removed immediately after submission, especially when the issue is not covered within the guidelines? Like I said, I spent a lot of time writing the paragraph, only to have it removed a few hours later. Because of this, I stopped updating Wikipedia when I received your answer (feel free to check the contributions log), almost three months ago. I have earlier worked hard to remove vandalism, but not written much myself. When I finally wrote something and had to feel like a vandal myself, it was not really fun contributing to Wikipedia anymore (and, frankly, I can think of a lot of things on which my time is better spent). I really read everything I could find before writing. I was sure that what I wrote would be appreciated, but I was wrong. Hopefully, I will in time regain my interest, but, in a similar situation, someone else might lose their interest altogether.

Web Brigades

Dear Mukadderat.

I refer to your restoration of Polish section in Web Brigades article. I would like to remind you of the following Wikipedia policy:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Verifiability#Exceptional_claims_require_exceptional_sources

Certain red flags should prompt editors to examine the sources for a given claim:

surprising or apparently important claims not covered by mainstream sources; reports of a statement by someone that seems out of character, embarrassing, controversial, or against an interest they had previously defended; claims that are contradicted by the prevailing view within the relevant community, or which would significantly alter mainstream assumptions, especially in science, medicine, history, politics, and biographies of living persons. This is especially true when proponents consider that there is a conspiracy to silence them. Exceptional claims in Wikipedia require high-quality sources; if such sources are not available, the material should not be included. Also be sure to adhere to other policies, such as the policy for biographies of living persons and the undue weight provision of Wikipedia:Neutral point of view.

The source which supports claims you have restored is anonym. Could you prove us that this is an exceptional quality source?

Another issue is that your source should be verifiable. How could you verify a claim by the anonym? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.149.190.179 (talk) 04:03, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
