Israel FAR

Hi Dailycare! You commented on the Israel FAR (located here) when it was in the FAR portion of the review. It has since moved to the FARC portion where editors enter keep/delist declarations. Any further comments on the article would be appreciated, as would an opinion on whether the article should be kept at or delisted from FA status. Thanks in advance!

Your edits at Jerusalem

I will politely request that you stop edit warring at Jerusalem. The discussion is ongoing and you are the only editor who has expressed support for the suggested change. Everyone else has attempted to explain to you why your suggested change does not make sense. Continuing to edit war without reaching consensus for your change will be considered disruptive editing, and you may face the consequences if this happens.

Hi, could you provide diffs for any edits of mine which you consider to be edit warring? --Dailycare (talk) 18:42, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

"No More Mr Nice Guy"

That phrase is kind of a cliché of cheap action movies, where the hero is pushed one step too far and then exclaims "No more Mr. nice guy!" as he prepares to take the bad guys down... AnonMoos (talk) 22:01, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

Your edit tags seem misleading

Hi Dailycare,

In your recent edit here: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gaza_flotilla_raid&diff=367590380&oldid=367587067

You say that you want to include the definition of martyr for those people who might not know. While that is a laudable goal, your edit seems to be more about removing information than including it.

You again removed that information here: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gaza_flotilla_raid&diff=367590563&oldid=367590380

And you reverted the more NPOV word "condemnation" to "outrage" here: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gaza_flotilla_raid&diff=367579623&oldid=367575326 With the reasoning that RS are using that term. However RS are also using the term condemnation. Since wikipedia needs to remain NPOV we should be using the less POV term. There have also been discussions about this that you have taken part in, and no consensus was reached.

While I may personally agree with some of the edits you've made, the bottom line is that you have already passed the 1RR limit for this article, with the three reversions above. This is not the first time you have done so. And these reversions were not made with the consensus of the discussion page.

Please stop the edit warring. Your opinion is appreciated but it would be better served in the discussion section rather than in reverting edits and leaving comments that are questionable regarding the nature of your edits.

Zuchinni one (talk) 11:46, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi Daily,

Thanks for getting back to me. In regards to your comments:

1. My concern here wasn't exactly your edit, but the edit comments which seemed indicate that information was added, when in fact information was removed. This seems to be a problem that recently got worse and I've contacted several people about being more clear.
2. In regards to the "outrage" my concern is that there has been an ongoing discussion in the talk section about precisely this word, since the very first day this article went up. And there isn't really consensus to support a change. Since this was covered in basically every paper in the world there are tons of RS that use many different terms. Outrage and condemnation seemed to be the most common. There were many refs at one point that used condemnation but most of them seem to have been removed. Either way in many of the cases where 'outrage' was used, it was used in reference to outrage over the deaths, not the raid itself. The current wording implies that the outrage was over the raid.
3. In regards to the 1RR, you are allowed to make multiple edits, but you cannot undo or revert other author submissions more than once. The three edits I mentioned earlier are each removal of another authors edits. So you basically have 3RRs right there.

You've made some really thoughtful contributions to the talk page and I hope that you continue to do so.

Cheers, Zuchinni one (talk) 12:37, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

Jerusalem is in Israel.

Even if you appellant about Jerusalem as the capital, you can't appellant Jerusalem as part of Israel. All the sister cities of Jerusalem are noted Jerusalem as Israeli city. If you want to edit, you need to bring it to the talk page. --Sipio (talk) 20:09, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

Your edit at Israel

Hey, you added: "toward Golan Heights", but the sentence already says "Galilee" which is the land "toward" Golan, so "toward Golan" is repeat and does not need to be mentioned. --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 18:25, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

I understand what you were trying to do. The section is about geography in Israel, not geography in Syria, so Golan shouldn't be mentioned at all. But I just wanted to make you aware that "Galilee" is already mentioned so there is really no need for any mention of land "towards Golan" --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 23:18, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

Suggestion at Lib RfC

I was wondering what next step you may recommend for dispute resolution. Certain editors there don't seem to respect the outside opinions garnered from the RfC process. I would like to keep to processes which are article-related, but unfortunately, the behavior at the talk page is as much of a problem (for example, see: this), leading me to the conclusion that an RFC/USER might be a more definitive way to improve productivity at that article. I hate to focus on editors instead of content, but, at the heart of it, tendentiousness seems to be the actual problem. What did you have in mind, though? BigK HeX (talk) 19:38, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

There's certainly plenty of evidence of a few editors disregarding overwhelming outside opinion, as I assume that you've seen. We've tried to get informal mediation, but that's languished unaccepted for over a month. As much as I hate bringing editors up for individual scrutiny, I think I'll have to bite the bullet, and just pursue it, in the interests of stopping the endless WP:IDHT. Thanks for the input!

Israel and the apartheid analogy query

Dailycare, hope this message finds you well. Following a request at WP:3O and per the conversation I have had with Tempered here, I would be grateful if you could fill in the section or comment at Talk:Israel_and_the_apartheid_analogy#Statement_by_Dailycare. Many thanks, Bigger digger (talk) 12:34, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

Your comment

As you correctly guessed, I am dying to respond to your comments. But I will hold back, because the essay you linked to made some interesting points that I need to think about. Having said that, i'd be grateful for your views on a broader point coming from this, as you are one of the few editors on I/P issues who IMHO appears to get the very difficult NPOV balance pretty spot on. My question is that since I/P issues are clearly susceptible to behaviour detailed in another essay topic - WP:TAGTEAM - what are editors who think tag-teaming is wrong supposed to do to counter such behaviour and reach NPOV if anything approaching WP:BLUDGEON is out? I can't think of any other antidotes to tagteaming. Oncenawhile (talk) 12:23, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for taking the time to respond. My thoughts below:

• I think a solution to tag-teaming hasn't been found - the opposing positions in the tag-team essay deletion discussion are very interesting. However it is undisputed that the tag teams can build their own consensus via WP:NINJA editing, circular or illogical argumentation and a continual ignoring of points, and that this works particularly well in debates with the impossible to define WP:UNDUE and WP:ROC policies at their core
• I personally think it is not possible to expose a tag-team without infiltration - hence I have never made such accusations. My concern with your infiltration idea (which should definitely be considered) is that often there is no need for tag teamers to formally coordinate - each members' (e.g. nationalistic) goals can often be understood perfectly without discussion
• I agree that RfC can be used in certain cases, but on high profile articles like Israel which has over 1000 watchers[1], I think the chances of ever getting the tag team in the minority are very low

If the only way to counter such behaviour is to create an equivalent tag-team, to fight fire with fire so to speak, then I will drop from WP as I didn't join to play a game or win a war (not that you in any way suggested that - it's just my concern that WP might be going that way). What I have been trying to work out is whether the correct way to counter tag-teaming editors who use gaming tactics and/or "circular or illogical argumentation and a continual ignoring of points" is simply to expose them. In other words whilst as you rightly say it is impossible to convince those editors, it might be possible to embarrass or undermine them so that it is more difficult for them to repeat such tactics with credibility going forward. Do you think that is too idealistic, and do you think it is possible to achieve this without tripping the WP:BLUDGEON guidance? Oncenawhile (talk) 14:48, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

Just to say thanks for your response - it's helpful to discuss difficult topics like this once in a while. Oncenawhile (talk) 13:56, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

Cabal of Mediation

Hello, my name is Asinthior and I will be your mediator. I have no prior knowledge of Israel and the Apartheid Analogy, which I think is a good thing as I will be able to provide a pair of fresh eyes and I won't have any prejudice on the matter. I hope we can all actively participate in the solution of this dispute. Feel free to leave a note at my talk page at any time. I will be available through the weekend. Asinthior (talk) 14:49, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

Could we please transfer the discussion to the Mediation Cabal case page? In other words, all further comments concerning this dispute and how to insert the controversial paragraph into the article should be done at case page until we close the case. If you agree, please state so in the discussion section of the case page. Asinthior (talk) 12:50, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

I've read the subsection of the discussion page for the article in dispute. As the Mediation Cabal did not have an immediate response, I feel the debate have moved to a new topic. I would ask all concerned parties to make a very short statement trying to define as narrowly as possible what is the topic of the dispute and what would be the expected outcome. Please do this in the discussion section of this page. Asinthior (talk) 14:59, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

Mount Scopus

My dear friend !. You should not have to be anti-Semitic. Jerusalem is the capital of the Jewish people forever . You can not read that another person he hates Jews and hates Israel - a disgrace to say ! To say that Mount Scopus + Mount of Olives is not a Jewish area more than 3,000 years - that people are talking like that is itself anti-Semitic. Mount Scopus will never be an arab land. Like that London will never be sold for Saudi Arabia. i'm sorry - you don't know the real history of the Great Arab Lie. פארוק (talk) 21:45, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

Three and one-half hour Gaza flotilla rewrite

Hi, Dailycare. You wrote at the talk page for Gaza flotilla raid that you didn't have time to review Reneem's edits. Your comment also left me with the impression that you thought that someone else should or could do so. But Reneem has now spent spent 3 and 1/2 hours rewriting the article to a pro-IDF perspective, and reviewing his changes would be a monumental task.

Along with Marokwitz, you objected to the revert I made for that reason. But I believe it would take a determined editor at least three times as long - a solid ten hours - to evaluate Reneem's rewrite by trying to step through the 17+ diffs and make sense of them. Without having the benefit of knowing what his (procedural) intention was for any given subset of saved edits, and with no edit summaries, it would be a huge undertaking. I don't have the time to do that, any more than you do, and I don't think its reasonable to expect that anyone who follows the article does.

That's why I reverted, his extremely "bold" edit series. I'd hoped he'd "discuss", but after Marokwitz immediately reinstated, Reneem went on to add another two hours of consecutive edits. I'd be grateful if you'd review my subsequent comments subsequent to yours in the talk page section ( livelink/snapshot ). If you'd like to reply, could you possibly do so the article talk page? I need to put my watchlist on a diet, with all the individual user-talk pages it has on it already. Many thanks,  – OhioStandard (talk) 22:19, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

recently I reciever a lot of anti-Semitic messages. mainly by Arabs on every sentence I write about Jerusalem.

My revert

Sorry for the revert without explanation. You added a figure reportedly given by Mansour, but it deviates from the official figure given by the PLO. Mansour is also unreliable when it comes to giving figures: in the past month alone, he's given 130, 131 and 139, and not in that order. At the very least, since it deviates from the official figure, I'd like to move it to the section discussing confusion in numbers.

you wrote "Besides, in the occupied areas Arabs can't ride the same bus as Jews, and can't vote" - arabs can ride the same bus as jews in the 'occupied areas' (it was just proven again this past week when 6 people did it). and they can vote. they do not vote in israel since they are not israeli citizens, but many hold jordanian citizenship and work it out there.

Notes on Talk - Acceptance and rejection of plan

Hi Dailycare. Being banned from wikIPedia for 6 months I can't comment in Talk... Never the less

Anonmoos ought be reminded that it was six months after the Arab States rejected UNGA res 181, the Jewish People's Council made the final, official, acceptance of the partition plan by declaring the Establishment of the State of Israel enshrining UNGA res 181 in that declaration.

Being a non-binding resolution, there was no clause or article in UNGA Res 181 requiring the parties to co-sign or agree. Nor could there have been. Declaring independence is by it's very nature a completely unilateral concept. Either party could accept or reject. The Jewish People's Council accepted, without registering any official reservation. In doing so, Israel agreed (in fact declared) that Jerusalem was not Israeli and that whatever remained of Palestine was not Israeli

As corpus separatum was never instituted, Jerusalem has never been legally separated from Palestine.

• S/RES/465 (1980) 1 March 1980 Secondary Source

"Affirming once more that the Fourth Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War of 12 August 1949 is applicable to the Arab territories occupied by Israel since 1967, including Jerusalem

Deeply concerned over the practices of the Israeli authorities in implementing that settlement policy in the occupied Arab territories, including Jerusalem ... "Primary Source

• S/RES/476 (1980) 30 June 1980 Secondary Source

"1. Reaffirms the overriding necessity to end the prolonged occupation of Arab territories occupied by Israel since 1967, including Jerusalem;"Primary Source

• Of course Anonmoos's argument falls apart all by itself, as does all propaganda. If the Arab rejection rendered UNGA res 181 null and void, then corpus separatum was never instituted and Jerusalem was never legally separated from Palestine ... talknic (talk) 15:25, 8 January 2012 (UTC) talknic (talk) 18:11, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

You left me with no choice. I am sorry that it had to come to this [2]--Jiujitsuguy (talk) 16:09, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

Ahem. Concerning this edit where you say that Abba Eban stated that "Nasser's assurances he wasn't planning to attack Israel were credible," Do you have Eban's book and did you take the quote directly from Eban's book? Or did you lift the quote from another book. I am well acquainted and very familiar with Eban's view's on the subject and he did not subscribe to those views after Nasser closed the Straits of Tiran to Israeli shipping. I am going to order that book and I am going to ascertain for myself how you construed Eban's views and whether they are accurately reflected or whether you deliberately chose an out of context snippet thus distorting Eban. You have a lousy track record.--Jiujitsuguy (talk) 18:02, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

I can save you the expense. I have the book in front of me, and can confirm Dailycare's reading. A fuller quote is: "The Secretary General had virtually brought nothing back with him, apart from Nasser's assurance that he did not plan an armed attack. I said that I found this assurance convincing. Nasser did not want war; he wanted victory without war." So Dailycare's quote is accurate (except for the substitution of a full stop for a semicolon), and in context, and his interpretation is fully borne out by the text itself. RolandR (talk) 19:05, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

And what date was that? When did this exchange with the Secretary General occur? I am still going to order the book because I want to see what else Eban said and I am certain that he had a lot to say about Arab intentions before the war, omitted of course by Dailycare.--Jiujitsuguy (talk) 19:18, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

Request to Clarify a Past Third Opinion

Hi, awhile ago you generously made a third opinion comment for La Luz del Mundo article. Here is your third opinion that you provided [3]. Since then, a source and its content that contained the specific accusation against the church's founder was removed. The accusation was the "exploitation of underage women." Since another source meant to help bring context and another POV to that subsection was added, and now is the only one that remains, the subsection title was changed to "Schism of 1942" and moved into a new subsection called "Criticism." Another editor here [4] claims that your third opinion meant that the subsection should not be named anything other than "Allegations of Founder's exploitation of underage women." Please note that "Founder" was added to the title in the past by another editor.

So please clarify your third opinion. Did you mean that the subsection name could not change to reflect the content? Did you mean to include the word "founder" in the section name? Is the current name and placement of the subsection going against your third opinion? (See the current section here [5]) Thank you for your time and your kind assistance.
