personal ataacks

Please also warn "Ozgurgerilla" about this statement: "The Turkish media always mentions how the members of PKK cannot carry PKK/Kurdish flags but here are my people carrying it against your fascist country"--Hattusili 12:52, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi Khoikhoi, please have a look at WP:AM#Noticeboard where Georgians are mentioned as chauvinists and fascists. I asked the author of this phrase, User:Eupator to change it, but he hasn't done it so far. Thanks, Kober 16:06, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Re: Khoikhoi. Unfortunately I beg to differ, the comment is not aimed at a specific individual(s); therefore, it doesn't qualify as a personal attack. If you think otherwise, please let me know of the reasoning behind.--Eupator 16:46, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

CfD of interest

You should check out the debate over whether to delete the various categories of "Foreigners in Turkey"

[1]

While I will assume good faith, I cannot seem to wonder that of all the "foreigners" that have connections to Turkey, Greeks alone are excluded, but that's live in the POV world. I voted to delete them, but would like to generate consensus. Carlossuarez46 18:36, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

3RR request

Sorry, just noticed your request. Have you reported them at WP:AN/3RR? Jayjg ^(talk) 19:55, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Query

Hey, I've seen much of the GREAT work that you have done on Iranian pages and I very much respect it. But today I got a message from someone saying that you are using terms such as "South Azerbaijan" on the Iranian Azerbaijan page and they said its wrong and propaganda. I just wanted to get your take on it. --(Aytakin) | Talk 20:53, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Same stuff, dude. -- - K a s h ^{Talk | email} 22:24, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

links not working

Hi, thank you for the suggestions you made about internal/external links. I have a question related to this: I have started several articles, and a strange thing happens: sometimes when I search for them they come up, sometimes they don't ... If you have a minute, could you check out e. g. Hurmuzachi brothers, Eudoxiu Hurmuzachi and Cernauca. The link to Cernauca on the Chernivtsi page appears red, although it is spelled correctly, and I know the article is there, I even edited it today! Thank you, 01:44, 22 April 2006 (UTC) thank you for your help -- the Cernauca link was on the Bukovina page (sorry, my mistake), but I fixed it myself and it works now. I guess the new question is: why does nothing appear when I search for "hurmuzachi"? Eugen Ivan 23:17, 22 April 2006 (UTC) Thanks for the help. Eugen Ivan 23:17, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

messing with anonymous users

if you want to refer to people's contributions as nonsense, do so on the discussion in the relevant articles. you may be unaware that ISPs reassign ip addresses all the time. it is highly unlikely that when you attack someone based on their ip, your nonsense will reach the intended recipient.

Turkish Kurdistan

The vote was peppered with votestacking and cannot be seen as concensus. --Cool Cat^Talk|@ 20:09, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

Ah well, ok. There was votestacking from from the other side, however. (mostly the work of TuzsuzDeliBekir) —Khoikhoi 22:27, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

Like I said... there is vote stacking... I am not trying to find blame. Hence the vote has no value. Syrian Kurdistan however is based on concensus. --Cool Cat^Talk|@ 22:50, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

Hey thanks for the help at Pashtuns

The article was devolving into chaos. What do you think about a separate article to list the tribes? I mean that section is probably the worst and the people who add tribes just add them arbitrarily anyway and I figure might as well keep this article looking better. Tombseye 23:17, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

Crap! You're right. gotta be careful and the guy does have a point in that it is a good idea to give references to make the article stronger. Any other problems of note? Tombseye 23:23, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

Greetings

Kurds

Actually, I am not very familiar with the Kurds. I decided to take a break from editing today and learn a little and I chose this article to read. I found so many grammatical errors and style inconsistencies I just couldn't resist doing some editing.

It's funny you should mention NPOV because I notice there seem to be a lot of forced references to "Kurdistan" as a Nationalistic Homeland rather than the Kurdistan Autonomous Regions in Iran, Iraq, etc. I noticed you have done a lot of work on articles concerning Iran. Do you think this is a neutrality problem?

Also I noticed you are a member of the Counter-Vandalism Unit. I am interested in that as well. I spend considerable time reverting vandalism on the 200 or so articles on my watchlist. Are there other ways to monitor vandalism (on pages not on one's watchlist)? How can I become a member of the CVU and what would be the "duties" involved? Thanks in advance for the info.--WilliamThweatt 03:42, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Did yo receive my e-mails? --ManiF 05:29, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Answer

Sorry, image deletions are permanent. --Neutrality^talk 04:45, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Sometimes that helps

Hi khoikhoi, disputes are often easily solved if people talk about them directly to eachother instead of ignoring them. Darkred 05:26, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

RfA for HolyRomanEmperor

Hi Khoikhoi, HRE has been nominated for adminship. I have seen him working around on many Balkan/Former Yugoslavia articles and I am very happy with calmness when editing and discussing controversial topics, even on the face of personal attacks from many users. I think Wikipedia would benefit from a level-headed Admin who will dedicate himself to that part of the Wiki project. Thanks, --Asterion 12:20, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
