Dead links

Hello Dailycare,

Regarding this edit, where you removed a "non-working link". Sometimes you get an error while trying to go to a certain website, but that doesn't necessarily mean the link is "dead". It could be a problem with your browser, ISP, various servers on the way, or a temporary error with the destination server. In these cases, there are two things you can do - first, try to find an alternative link, using the information you have (which is why it's important to always include as much information as possible in these links - title, publisher, date, etc). If you don't want to do so, or can't find an alternate source, just tag to link with "{{dead link}}", which will add the text "dead link" next to the link in question (see details in Template:dead link). Then, in the future, another user will again try to access the website, and take appropriate steps if the link is still down. There are users who mainly deal with the problem of dead links, going around correcting them (often a website will change the internal systems, and break the links, while the actual content is still there, and you just have to find its new location).

Remember - once a link is deleted, it's probable that no one will remember the source, while it could have just been a temporary problem - it's a shame to lose a source due to such a thing.

Israeli settlements

Hi Dailycare! Please stop edit-warring and adding irrelevant and unsourced content to articles about Israeli settlements. As a new editor, I am not sure you understand what a source on Wikipedia is considered. Please read WP:V and WP:RS and self-revert. The content you added is also not relevant because the United Nations resolution does not translate into international law, and was written much earlier than Modi'in Illit's founding. You will need to find reliable secondary sources saying that Modi'in Illit and Ma'ale Adumim specifically are illegal, otherwise the content might only be relevant to the main Israeli settlement article. —Ynhockey ^(Talk) 17:31, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

apartheid analogy

your recent edit to the page was incorrect. I was pointing out the freedom house rankings because as this part of the page is the opponents to the analogy, and I also cited the article which cited Freedom House, and they cited (as you can see the article's footnotes, which is the Freedom in the World ranking) the Freedom in the World rank which shows free, not the Press Freedom rank which indeed went down, and are NOT talking about the territories, you made an incorrect edit. And since the rankings began, Israel, which is what the article refers to, not the territories has been ranked "free" in the Freedom in the World rank each year. And how relates to South Africa? After all, the PA is recognized and has a delegation at the UN and is not all governed by Israel but mostly the PA. The Bantustans did not have recognition from anybody, nor were they ranked in freedom house at all. The point of the argument is that when people call Israel an "apartheid state," many times they mean it on the whole (and not just The Territories), which is argued with the freedom house "freedom in the world" ranking that it is not as an apartheid state is inherently not free nor was the example of it, South Africa, ranked free during apartheid in FIW.Tallicfan20 (talk) 21:08, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Leave it as, because the whole point of the criticism is to use the terms the critics use. The Freedom House Freedom in the World section is referred to by the authors in the cited sourced article who attack the analogy. Also, the zionism-apartheid analogy actually has been used a lot to refer to Zionism as a whole, not just in the territories. And this has been referred to in the article. If you wanna mention the rank of the territories in the pro-analogy part, ok thats one thing. But in the anti-analogy part, given the context it is mentioned in the article's argument, there is no point in adding it.Tallicfan20 (talk) 10:08, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

Re: Ma'ale Adumim

Uh, if you read what I wrote, it says that I notified another editor of the discussion. Perhaps you misread. Cheers, Ynhockey ^(Talk) 11:54, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

The discussion is ongoing at Talk:Modi'in Illit, so I would appreciate it if you made no further edits to either article until clear consensus is reached, which right now is against your position. —Ynhockey ^(Talk) 13:59, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

WP:AE

Hi Dailycare! I have filed a WP:AE request against you for the disruptive editing at Ma'ale Adumim and Modi'in Illit. Please give your statement here. —Ynhockey ^(Talk) 23:13, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
