stop doing unilaterial deletes without discussion first

That does not follow Wiki policy

re: renan and said

even your phrase is pure propaganda and point of view, because Renan wasn´t a racist, and his critiques to Islam are right.

Cat Fletcher

You are the most reasonable of the editors on Wikipedia I am not so clear on the notability policy. As I see Wikipedia is a "free" enciclopeadia, that implies that any knowledge must appear and must not to be deleted or kidnapped. I will present some documentation that will improve the info but that will take some time. Thanks in advance. Cartof

RfC at Gilad Shalit

Hi Judith,

Sorry for the mess down at Talk:Gilad Shalit. I'm the one who started the RfC and have not been careful enough managing it. Your opinion on the matter, though, as well as anybody else's, is more than welcome. Input from uninvolved editors usually gets less flack than that of the usual suspects and probably would defuse the debate somewhat...

Cheers and many thanks, pedro gonnet - talk - 10.12.2007 16:46

GREETINGS &c

Dear Itsmejudith, receive my greetings for this new year. I would like to know the position of the Bhavabhushan article, now that it has been "discharged".--BobClive (talk) 17:12, 1 January 2008 (UTC)--BobClive (talk) 07:25, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

I have accepted the mediation case regarding Cold fusion. Can you provide a brief summary of your view points regarding the issue here? Thanks, Seicer (talk) (contribs) 02:07, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Antisemitism

Could you have a look at the article, especially regarding the text regarding Flannery's description of five (four?) forms? The text is substantially as you wrote it. It says that Flannery described five forms of antisemitism, yet only four are listed and bulleted. --Steven J. Anderson (talk) 20:10, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

PV price

I don't disagree with your revert of me here, however, the reason I added it was due to a dispute in Distributed generation. Please help resolve the issue there with a commonly accepted price range for PV. Thanks. -Theanphibian ^{(talk • contribs)} 19:18, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

SOS

Hello Itsmejudith, on finding new interesting points on BAGHA JATIN, I have added them to the article. Some kind of a censure allows only parts of my addition to be incorporated. It is rather frustrating. What do you think of it ? Anticipated thanks.--BobClive (talk) 17:08, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

As a part-time User, I failed to notice your message proposing how to proceed with improving the Bhavabhushan article; most welcome, since it will also be uselful for the other articles i am looking after. Thanks.--BobClive (talk) 06:36, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Heterodox economics

A long explanation as to why that wasn't a particularly weird sentence....

Cheers. Relata refero (talk) 08:38, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

I look forward to hearing from you then. I don't know much about the Regulation school, I must admit, but I my schooling in economics revolved around one of the traditions of neo-Marxism that gave it birth. Joan Robinson is my personal hero. Relata refero (talk) 13:21, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Greetings and Palestinians

Hi, not sure I know you or you I. However, I noticed your removal of text in Palestinian people on DNA. While you may well be justified in your edit, if you don't mind my saying so, this is a pretty abrupt entry of yours into the article. This is a contested article. So, it's always good to check Talk, where you'll see much debate on this section. Therefore, I would really appreciate it if you would self-revert and, instead of directly removing now, state your proposed edit and rationale(s) on the Talk page. Please? We'll trying quiet the sense of combativeness in this topic area and your cooperation would be appreciated. Thanks, HG | Talk 15:43, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Ok, well. Are you thinking this won't get a reaction? Hmm. Well, perhaps you could at least mention it on the Talk page and give a bit of your reasoning. If somebody objects, will you self-revert then? Thanks. HG | Talk 16:01, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

In terms of the substance, it's hard to judge because the section has gotten reworked or maybe mucked up. Going back (e.g. January/Dec), the paragraph led into topic-related discussion of population genetics. So, some intro sentences like these would make sense. Check the history and you'll see what I mean. On the larger question of the fringe or minority aspects of the section, I've commented above in Talk (and am not expressing a strong opinion). Thanks for what you wrote in Talk and being so responsive. All the best, HG | Talk 16:22, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

sent you a quick email fyi HG | Talk 16:47, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Re:Nhan Van affair

That article is in a sorry state. It is an inherently notable topic and there seems to be some openness within Vietnam recently to discuss it. When I have some time I would do some research and improve its quality. DHN (talk) 07:16, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Thank you

Thanks for your comment on Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#Microsoft_open_letter_used_as_reference regarding my question. I have asked for clarification and the person who answered seems to contradict your original reply. Could you please read and possibly post on this topic again? If I am wrong in my interpretation so be it. Thanks. Kilz (talk) 22:20, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Jenny Lind

Hi, I say you removed the "New research" section as linkspam. Now another user has recreated the section with links to the same site as that deleted. Not sure what is going on here. :-/ Mjroots (talk) 10:08, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

First I would like thank Itsmejudith for her helpful comments on the information I posted on Jenny Lind, and subquently removed.

Mjroots, sorry for the confusion. It took a little while for me to realized my mistakes :-). Jean de Beaumont (talk) 14:55, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi Judith, as per your suggestion, I have now uploaded information and evidence on the assumed name of "Captain Harris" and consequently restructured the paragraphs a bit. The footnotes you requested with "secondary" (or prime) sources are a little bulky, but there is obviously not one single piece of proof (otherwise others would have seen through Jenny Lind's cover-up a long time ago). Please let me know if you have any comments, and thanks for your time. Jean de Beaumont (talk) 15:26, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Quantum-Touch

An editor has nominated Quantum-Touch, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Quantum-Touch (3rd nomination) and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 20:59, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

New antisemitism mediation

Heya Itsmejudith.

I would first like to apologise on behalf of the Mediation Committee for the delay in this case being dealt with, which is due to a shortage of available mediators. I have expressed interest in taking this case to help with the backlog and to assess my nomination to join the committee. As i am not currently a member it is common practice to for the involved parties to consent to mediation of an RfM from a non-committee member. To give your consent for me to act as mediator for this case please sign as you have for the acceptance of the case on the case page. I look forward to working with you and finding a solution to the dispute.

My proposal

Hi Judith,

How are you doing? Hope everything is going well with you!!!

Could you please take a look at my proposal here [1]. Thanks in advance, Cheers, --Be happy!! (talk) 09:32, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Mail

You should have received an email from yours truly. Moreschi (talk) (debate) 18:29, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Sigh. Oh, well. The smart people almost never run for admin these days, not that I blame you for a minute. Still, it's good to have you around all the same. Cheers, Moreschi (talk) (debate) 19:11, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Re Rutter

Have you given up on this as too tedious for words or am I not making myself clear? [2] Fainites ^barley 19:35, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Mediation Update

Just to let you all know, the case has been started. I have created a little navbox for you to navigate between pages and will be expanded as the case goes on so that its easier for you to navigate. The first page you need to visit in this case is here so you can give youre opening statement. There i have left a few questions for you all to answer. For those that have been busy and unable to confirm their participation in the mediation, they are welcome to join the mediation at any stage.

I can be contacted in several ways in the event you need to. I am normally present on the wikipedia-en, wikipedia-medcab and wiki-hurricanes IRC channels at some point between 15:00 UTC and as late 02:00 UTC depending on college and real life commitments. To find these channels and instructions on how to access IRC go to WP:IRC. Throughout the day, even when i am in college, feel free to email me using the email tool or by emailing the email address on my user page or both to make sure. You can also leave a message on my talk page which again ill do my upmost to reply to as soon as i can. Seddon69 (talk) 20:23, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

WP:RS

I'm kind of uncertain about your statement that fringe journals are not usually published by academic publishing houses, but agree that it's probably correct if taken as I wrote it, which was thinking of creationist journals, and not other fringe journals. Can we have a talk at Wikipedia_talk:Reliable_sources#Questionable_journals. and see if we can come up with something better? Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 13:27, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Grammar schools in the United Kingdom

Hi, the reason for bolding "Direct Grant Grammar Schools" was that there are some links to this article with that as the anchor text, and Direct grant school redirects here, so this is where readers will be looking for the definition of that term. Kanguole (talk) 10:58, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Robinson and Meek

I haven't read Studies in the Labour Theory of Value for years! But what I do remember is that much of it grew out of long conversations between Robinson and Meek (and, presumably a couple of other people who were partially in awe of Piero Sraffa, like JR's husband Austin, but mainly JR herself) on the subject. He didn't succeed in convincing Robinson - a lovely little passage in a recent review article says "that he did not succeed in making a dent on Joan Robinson, likely a most sympathetic listener, is apparent from perusal of her booklet On Re-reading Marx" - but he did succeed in making her revisit her earlier assumption (1942?) that Marx was essentially useless as an economist. Of course, she wound up explaining the similarities between Ricardo, Marx, Marshall and Keynes in terms of rates of profit and periodic crises.

If you're interested, here's the only recent Nobel-winner who cut his teeth on these issues talking about them. I can't access it at the moment, but perhaps you can. For something available online that discusses Robinson's legacy, go here.

About Meek, what I remember most vividly is Social Science and the Ignoble Savage, which demonstrated effectively that historical materialism didn't begin with Marx, but was intrinsic to the Enlightenment itself; and also, in an interesting way, serves as a prelude to dependency theory. --Relata refero (disp.) 12:39, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

New AntiSemitism mediation

I noticed that you hadn't left your statement here regarding the New Antisemitism case. Its important for the success of this mediation that you stay involved in this otherwise i cannot guarantee that your views will be taken into consensus agreed upon by the parties. I hope that you will be able to participate soon. Seddon69 (talk) 23:24, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

1066 and all that

I will certainly provide the exact references that I mentioned earlier, but I am trying to avoid editing too many such articles. Not only because they are painfully full of clashing agendas, but also because I don't want to risk being considered "involved" in these issues - under the ArbCom's colossal copout of an Israel-Palestine adjudication, any admin could hop by my talkpage, tell me I am subject to editing restrictions, and subsequently I would find the real editing I want to get round to, on genuinely encyclopaedic topics like the Basic Laws of Israel, various aspects of the codes, החקיקה בישראל, and so on, would be constrained. Which is why I tend to only go to such areas in response to to an RfC or a post on a noticeboard. This is by way of explanation for why it would appear that I'm not getting my hands dirty myself. --Relata refero (disp.) 12:50, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
