Iran-Iraq war

Hello Dark, I'm sorry but the source you added does not qualify as a reputable and reliable source, furthermore if you revert one more time you will have broken the 3RR and could be blocked.- Moshe Constantine Hassan Al-Silverburg | Talk 05:30, 23 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You are new, so make sure you read WP:3RR and learn about the 3RR rule. You may not revert an article more than three times within 24 hours, or you may receive a temporary block (24 hr). --ManiF 05:54, 23 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I see, thank you for reminding me of that manif, well a 24 hr block doesn't hurt anyone, i will have to read rules more carefully :) Darkred 06:19, 23 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your warning Voice of all, i am new to wikipedia editing and did not know about the 3RR. I have now read the rules, sorry for any violation of the rules from my part. --Darkred 07:01, 23 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

First, please leave the Iran-Iraq talk off the Frye page; second, you can't honestly believe that as either a credible source or even a credible story? This is as likely as space aliens supplying the Iranians on behalf of George Bush - it does not make any sense.Bridesmill 22:27, 24 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bridesmill, it's a well known fact that israel shipped weapons to iran during the war. I just posted the first source i could find to keep him off vandilizing. However it seems that zereshk have provided you with reliable sources according to the WP rules regarding this matter. :) --Darkred 20:47, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Be nice :-)

Hello,

It is considered rude to call edits by fellow editors "vandalism". The guidelines are clear what constitutes "vandalism". It is only a change to content made in a deliberate attempt to negatively impact the encyclopedia. Often edits you disagree with, and even those that are plain wrong, are made in good faith. In the future please take a moment to consider whether the editor was actually trying to harm the encyclopedia to before using such language, and I think you will find the others much more cooperative. Taw 00:20, 26 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually I was referring to calling an edit by me "vandalism" [2] ;-).

I don't know anything about any arguments people have about the Halabja poison gas attack article, I was just trying to make the introduction separate the established facts (Halabja is there and there, that many people died in that year for such reasons) from interpretations (Iraq did it, Iran did it, it was deliberate, someone screwed up, and so on) and to briefly say who supports which version and why. The discussion about the culprit is included in the article, so making the introduction sound as if one of the interpretations (even if it's most popular) was accepted by everyone feels kinda weird. Taw 00:55, 26 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Kindly refrain from removing warnings from your talk page. Regards, --Andy123(talk) 00:39, 26 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

user taw Like i said in my rv, there are several sources in this matter, and it is well proven that it was iraq that bobmbed the kurds, iran didnt even have any chemical weapons. Again like i said in the when i reverted, please refrain from deleting parts of an article without a good reason or any source that counteracts the other source. --Darkred 01:03, 26 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If someone troubles you, it can be referred to the administrators of Wikipeda. If someone makes any kind of personal attacks on you you can report them. Wikipedia has a strict policy against personal attacks. It is much easier for administrators to handle tasks if the discussion page is not blanked. Kindly assume good faith. I invite you to make constructive edits on Wikipedia. Regards, --Andy123(talk) 01:47, 26 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

And i also invite you to do the same. Wikipedia does not belong to any user, neither to any administrator, there are rules and regulations for them aswell. They can too be reported for abusing their powers and accusing with no reason. From being accused of being rude to being accused for deleting that accusation from my page, because it's considered a warning message, that's alot of accusation don't you think. :). Oh well no harm no fowl. Please do carry on. --Darkred 02:28, 26 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Are you sure that Iran didn't have any chemical weapons ? Quoting [3] (which is linked from the article) which quotes the DIA study:

The agency did find that each side used gas against the other in the battle around Halabja. The condition of the dead Kurds' bodies, however, indicated they had been killed with a blood agent — that is, a cyanide-based gas — which Iran was known to use. The Iraqis, who are thought to have used mustard gas in the battle, are not known to have possessed blood agents at the time.

DIA seems to be claiming that Iran had and used chemical weapons during the war. Do you know of any reports supporting or opposing this claim ? Taw 16:52, 26 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

User:taw, it is a well known fact that it was iraq which killed the kurds in halabja, alongside with the iranians that were in that town, there is no argument here. But if you really feel like keeping the article according to your POV i or other users will have to provide more sources regarding this matter, if there are none provided in the article(have not looked yet).

The claim that it was iran which bombed the kurds is regarded by many to be just like the claim that nazis did not kill 6 million jews. --Darkred 00:24, 27 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Iran

Hi there, I noticed you have now twice reverted my edits to Iran. I moved the images up to reduce the amount of whitespace. Please explain why you have reverted my edits? Green Giant 23:38, 27 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the prompt response. First of all an apology, as you didn't revert blindly. You moved each image separately and left my grammar corrections. I can understand wanting the top of the image and the first line aligned but there is no hard-and-fast rule for this. Comparing the two versions by me and by you, you'll notice there is a reduction in whitespace between the last paragraph of Economy and the title of Demographics. However this is a minor quibble and instead I am relieved to find that your reasoning actually has some logic involved. Five days ago, I posted suggestions for improving Iran because eight months since FACfailed is too long to have not renominated Iran. As one voter on the FAC said, "when was the last time anything about Iran got to featured status?". However, only Jeff responded to the suggestions, but since then almost every positive change I have made to Iran has been reverted by several editors with edit summaries requesting I should post on the talkpage any changes I want to make, despite themselves not having responded to my original post. Thank you for not blindly reverting my edits though. I don't engage in edit wars, so I will try to find some extra material to add to the Economy section and reduce the need for the whitespace. Green Giant 00:28, 28 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Seems you are a history of revert editing...

Please do not revert edit without specifying reasons. You just did it in Iranian Turks again. What do you like to achieve with it? unsigned comment was added by 203.48.45.194

You stated that they spoke turkic in the army and persian in court. And had deleted the previous material without any source. --Darkred 01:59, 28 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well if the kings were Turkic speaking, then they would speak Turkic in their palaces, would they not? Armies also the same. Do you think Shahsavans of Shah Abbas era would speak Persian? Or Qezelbash army for that matter.

By the way, you were the first to revert drastically. All I did was to put things back where it was before your drastic reverting. It is not just the right way. This is collaborative environment. You seem to have a lot of passion for your believes. That is fine. But do not take them here. 59.167.0.169 14:08, 29 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bahá’í Faith

While it is true that Wikipedia is not a forum, I thought I could at the least address you on your personal talk page. Your question on the Bahá’í page is a very important, completely valid, and decidedly necessary question. You inquired about the nobility of Bahá’í character and principles and yet also questioned the construction of multi-million dollar shrines and buildings. Therefore, I am moved with a sincere desire to answer your question to the best of my limited ability.

The Bahá’í Faith is a young religion, and while it is spread to over 236 nations and has several million followers, its resources are quite limited. Before I address its limits, I must clarify that the Bahá’ís have not spent "billions" on its buildings, shrines and gardens. The total cost of the recent terraces and buildings came to a total of 250 million and the total cost of all other shrines, restorations, buildings and houses of worship do not exceed more than that amount, in fact it may be even half the amount. Therefore, the Bahá’í community has spent between 300 to 500 million dollars over the past 100 years. This is no where near the "billions" that one may think, certainly not even close to more than half a billion itself.

Bahá’ís recognize that there are hundreds of aid and humanitarian agencies that have built the framework and are already beginning to try to serve many of the concerns you so eloquently addressed. These organizations, in conjunction with nations, already pump several billion dollars into the aid and relief work, and while it may still not be enough, the amount that the Bahá’ís could contribute in a given year would not even make a dent. But this is not the point. Bahá’ís are free to give to these organizations, and certain statistics from studies done by an independent research firm show that Bahá’ís give at least twice the amount of money to these activities than they do to Bahá’í funds. Whether this is good or not remains to be seen. However, Bahá’ís are in fact slowly building the capacity and framework to serve these needs as well, and there are already over a thousand different social and economic development projects developed and run by the Bahá’ís around the world—especially in areas of great need. As you may know, there is also the Huqúqu'lláh, in which Bahá’ís give 19% of their earnings after payment of all life necessities. This special "Right of God" will one day evolve into the very channel that you so desire to see in the Bahá’í Faith.

Nevertheless, the Bahá’í Faith maintains that the single most powerful civilizer and healer of the ills of this planet—and its peoples—is the vast body of Bahá’u’lláh’s teachings. They believe that their religion and the message which operates as its animating purpose is the means toward the transformation of society and the unification of all humanity. These teachings and their promulgation, their acceptance and enactment are far more powerful, impact prone, and important to the future of mankind than any money contribution. That is not to say that we should forget or invalidate any of the references I gave above. Clearly, Bahá’ís see it in their heart and capacity to do all they can, but it is significant to understand the root sentiments behind their actions. Most importantly, those buildings and gardens are silent teachers of the message of Bahá’u’lláh and they stand out as beacons and signs to the world, as evidence of what the world will look like, beauty and perfection, when the world embraces Bahá’u’lláh and His edifying solutions. Nmentha 11:16, 29 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I see, thanks for the information, and i wish you good luck with your quest. --Darkred 22:51, 29 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A point of information, Darkred. The projects on Mt. Carmel did cost about $250M US — not billions. By way of comparision, the Euclid Corridor Project in Cleveland, Ohio, for which I am the design structural engineer, is projected to cost $80M US for roadway, utilities, and streetscape work alone. Overall, the cost is expected to be $120M US including custom buses, maintenance facility upgrades, and off-system roadway improvements to mitigate the traffic effects of the new line. All of this to install a single bus rapid transit line only ten miles long, with seven miles of roadway and streetscape improvements. To spend billions of dollars one needs to move a lot of dirt around. Look at the Big Dig, or the Chunnel. Nmentha's obervations are also on-point. MARussellPESE 13:43, 1 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I see, to be honest i was merely speaking metaphorically. However 250M US dollars is not far from 1 billion. --Darkred 14:07, 1 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I understand. But I was trying to put it into some perspective with respect to the size of this religious community and the magnitude of the issues. The American Red Cross has $2B US in expected commitments for Hurrican Katrina relief alone, and were spending $35M US per day.[5] Reconstruction is another matter entirely.

The UNHCR's budget for 2006 exceeds $1.1B US. [6] The $250M US the Baha'is spent, which took five years to raise, would be a bit more than half of Africa's needs for a single year.

Baha'is do not neglect these issues; in fact, I doubt you'd find a Baha'i who'd object to doubling or tripling humanitarian relief. We do what we can do, and one of the most direct things we can is to live and teach others that we are our brothers' keepers, that trustworthiness and justice are the foundations of civil society, and that genuine love for all of humanity is the key principle to the advancement of the human race. Even Jesus acknowledged the limits of the Disciples' material contributions to society, and advised them to focus on their spiritual ones. (John 12:3-8, Mark 14:3-7, Matthew 26:6-11) Ciao, MARussellPESE 21:28, 1 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I see, well it's good to hear that you are doing so much humanitarian work, i wish you good luck. --Darkred 01:20, 2 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Doroud, I have a suggestion since you are interested deeply in Iranian history, Achaemenid dynasty article sucks right now and since its the first Persian empire it should be treated better for sure. So if you have time, do a collaboration team work on it and improve the article to a FA status like I did in Sassanid Empire, follow the same pattern. I'll help you guys in the proces. Best wishes.

If you continue to be beligerent towords them, you will be temporarily blocked from editing. --InShaneee 16:00, 3 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm warning you again, do not attack other users as you have here and do not continually revert the edits of other users, either. If there is a disagreement about content, talk to them in a civil manner. There is no excuse for this type of agressive behavior. If you continue to be unwilling to work with other editors in a respectful manner, you will be temporarily blocked from editing. --InShaneee 20:23, 3 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am not 'abusing' anything, and I will give you one last warning: accusing other users of being 'liars' and calling anything you don't agree with 'vandalism' is uncivil, and you will be blocked if you do anything of that sort again. Wikipedia policy strictly dictates that we discuss article content, and not the users making it. --InShaneee 20:36, 3 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not taking sides. You can report me to whomever you like, but that still does not give you the right to call another user a liar. --InShaneee 20:56, 3 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No, 3RR doesn't apply to obvious vandalism (i.e. adding "fuck you" into an article) but this isn't obvious, it's just simple POV. Don't break the 3RR, instead you can report him on Sipahi, as he clearly was warned. —Khoikhoi 07:44, 3 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Civility (again)

Regarding this edit: Please do not blindly remove comments from your talk page, and more importantly do NOT refer to other users as 'vandals' in such a casual fashion. The user you reverted was being very polite and attempting to open a diolouge with you, which is what you should be doing with other users rather than continuing to revert back to what you want on a page. Please try to work to gain consensus with other editors, and above all, be respectful and do NOT make any more personal attacks. --InShaneee 18:20, 5 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ignorance

Go ahead dear admins, send how many warnings and threaths as you like, like i said in inshanees talk page, see if i care, read or response to your warnings or blocks. The best way to deal with people like you is by ignoring you. :) Good luck

Do not call other editors "girls"

You call Moshe and Bridesmill -- who are both males -- "girls" and admonish Bridesmill to be more like the "sweet Russian-Jewish girl I had". That is just too crude, Darkred, not to mention sexist. Please don't do that. Zora 20:20, 6 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Etiquette

Darkred, I can sympathize with your frustration that leads to article reverts and involvement in edit-wars; however, as experience has showed me, Wiki can be a stress trigger and you can easily get sucked in frivolous disputes. I strongly urge you to take a minute and take a chill pill (as you can see some people are armed with a PC and an agenda and spread nothing but hatred around). But one is compelled to ask, is it really worth to fight over if people should call Dr. Richard Nelson Frye preeminent or instead distinguished? Also, spend some time reviewing the Help desk. I do think you can do great things here in not allowing cut and paste history to be included in many articles by refuting them in a civil and legitimate manner, but you should always be calm. Moshe and Black are two editors that always go at it, but they are good guys and you three have the potential to work with each other constructively. Remember, as much as you can mend, but don`t bend. Zmmz 20:40, 6 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked for two weeks

You have now been blocked for two weeks for, as soon as your previous block expired, swearing to ignore all previous and future warnings issued to you by admins, continuing to tell other users that they are vandals and will be ignored, and proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that you are referring to editors as females as an insult. This behavior is not tolerated on wikipedia, and, as you have been told before, if you will not work with other editors in a respectful manner, you will simply not be allowed to edit. --InShaneee 20:50, 6 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
