Reporting Vandalism by User:(nadermeleka) & (Orthopraxia)

Hello Lanternix,

This is BVS, We would like to report continous Vandalism by user (nadermeleka) and his friend (Orthopraxia) who are trying to delete and revert sections of the article to help them in their ultimate goals.

As you now, Weikpedia is not the place for any battles nor who is right or who is wrong (Truth Rule). They have been asked to do so for specific reasons.

Please give a warning one more time to these users that Wikipedia is not a battle zone and is not the place to fight or have battles whether they think they are right or wrong or being asked to do that (Truth Rule). We have corrected this matter several times, but they insist on doing so and they have a 24 hours shifts to accomplish there goals.

Before we take the matter to another level within Wikipedia claims, we would like to ask for your help and to explain to them that they should NOT revert any information made at good faith efforts done by other users. They have been caught red-handed doing so and they admitted that. We will restore it one more time, but if they do NOT stop, then we are really asking for you help to stop this vandalism.

Wikipedia is NOT the place to attack other people good faith editing, to fight, to dispute or to claim the (Truth Rule). If they do NOT stop, then we are asking you to take specific actions against them after giving them a warning.

Wikipedia rules need to be respected despite any church internal disputes and no matter were they stand in it.

(Orthopraxia) already received several vandalism warnings previously and is known to engage in edit wars (Check his talk).

Thank you for your help & support.

The only vandal here is you and your IP address. I suggest you stop adding that stupid website and the photo of that fake bishop before I get you banned forever from Wikipedia. There is the final warning for you, and I'm getting quite fed up with your attitude! --Ⲗⲁⲛⲧⲉⲣⲛⲓⲝ^[talk] 09:25, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

Lanternix,

Please do not jump into conclusions before checking up the vandalism done and admitted by these respectable (2) Users. I am not the one reverting their edits or getting involved in there efforts. They are the ones doing so. It is very clear and they admitted doing that.

If they disagree with some of the church members, we are sorry for that. The Wikipedia rules are very clear and they should be aware of it. This is not a battlefield area for their believes. (Truth Rule). They need to stop reverting other people`s good faith efforts and editing. Please do not adopt their point of view based on their goals which clearly contradicts the Wikipedia rules.

Their (talk) clearly shows that they are involved in editng wars and they have at least half dozens of vandalism claims from other members (Please check their talk) and ask them to refrain from doing so. friendship with some of them should not be an excuse to adopt their point of views and allow them to revert other people`s efforts and we strongly resent their accussations about Bishop Mena. The Diocese information needs to be reinstated because this is our right. Sorry if they don't like our people or they call the Bishop (fake) that is their problem and I see they need payers. We abide by Wikipedia rules and they have to do the same.

Thank you for your understanding.

Hi Lanternix,

This is quite a ridiculous situation, both BVS 125 and IP Address 71.195.186.130, unless they are the same person, are engaged in a very weird and persistant vandalism in most of the pages related to the Cptic Orthodox Church by insisting of the addition of a fake or non existant bishop of an non existant diocese. I have warned them but to no avail. Here is the fact of the matter and they are aware of it, if that information was true, no one would have any mind or even thing to such an addition, everyone wants to have the number of bishops and dioceses of the Coptic orthodox Church grow every day, but to add such an information, the following need to be done: 1) To have any confirmation from theHoly Synod of the Coptic Orthodox Vhurch about such a diocese or bishop. This is non existant and they know that very well. 2) Whoever reads the contents of the so-called Fresno diocesan website, notes that there is a mojor feud among the members of the congregation of that parish (not diocese0 and the apparently imposed priest on them, to the point of having serious disagreement about several investigations done by several bishops about that feud. 3)The title of the website states that the so-called bishop is called Mina the Ischariot, which meens the treator among the ecclesiastical parlance, which in turn means that the website is created to mock the whole idea of the bishop and the diocese, by saying that the people of that parish are suffering from an imposed clergy, who is backed by some bishops as it claims, comparing him with Judas the Ischariot and have an episcopal imposition. Accordingly, this website does not proof the existance of a diocese or a bishop but mocks them. 4) It is clear that the image provided for that so-called bishop is composed or superimposed. by matching episcopal vestments on the face of that priest.

It becomes evident that the reason behind the insistance for adding such an addition in many Coptic Orthodox Church related pages on Wikipedia, is an attempt to propagate the apparent injustice imposed on that parish, by mocking the priest, by making him a bishop and the parish a diocese. So these two fellows are actually against that priest and they using Wikipedia pages as a tool of their WAR against that priest and whoever fllows him and protects him. I even suspect that they/he have created that webpage for the sake of such mokery.

So the WAR here is from these two gentlemen (or gentleman, if it's only one person) and all I, you and others are doing is stoping them/him from doing this persisting vandalism.

If they/he can provide a document or documents from the Holy Synod of the Coptic Orthodox Church about such addition, creation of a diocese, consecration of such bishop, date of consecration and by whom and where from a reliable source, then by all means this addition is welcomed. Of course you know and I know that this will never happen. I am copying this message on the User talk page of BVS 125 for his information.

I will never stop preventing the vandalism they/he are/is doing and I hope that you would do the same. If you have the means to ban them/him permanently, please do so, since obviously they have an agenda of their own. Thanks.Orthopraxia (talk) 00:19, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

Bvs--Bvs1925 (talk) 02:31, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

Hello Lanternix,

We read Orthopraxia comments and here are our responses to it:

1) Mr. Orthopraxia is trying to analyze the Diocese of Fresno status in order to reach conclusions that leads to a truth from his own opinion (Truth Rule). Also, we are very well capable of answering his arguments, Wikipedia is not found to be a war zone or to prove one party is right and the other party is wrong (Truth Rule).

2) Orthopraxia being extremely interested in our Diocese's status raises red flags about who is behind him and what goals is he trying to achieve. He is very likely to be driven by a request of another Bishop who is supporting Bishop Mena. (And he knows who is the person we are talking about !!!). Again, Wikipedia is not the place for WAR regarding any Church internal disputes.

3) Orthopraxia, is trying to discuss the method used in choosing Bishop Mena and whether he was chosen by the members of the Diocese of through any other method? Thus taking the discussion into the root of the church well-known dispute to achieve his goal of eliminating the Diocese information from Wikipedia and scoring it.

4) The Diocese information has the right to be listed in Wikipedia despite the disagreement going on between several Bishops. We in the Diocese maintain open door policy and accept the others opinions (Please see the link to Bishop Athanasius's TV program having problems with Fr. Mena (later on Bishop Mena) and we never deleted that.

5) Orthopraxia and his friend are fellows of Bishop Ermia and trying to achieve his goals by eliminating the presence of the Diocese (because it is against their best interest).

6) We will never stop demanding our right to have the Diocese of Fresno listed in Wikipedia (because its presence is a fact) and widely known to everybody) desite attempts to deny it.

7) I (Bvs) can easily stop this silly editing war with these (2) Users, if they agree to stay away from us and abide the Wikipedia rules regarding editing other people's work and the (Truth Rule).

8) Finally, I want you to think about this (What is it for Orthopraxoia and his friend in it?), what would make them come from nowhere to start bothering the Fresno Coptic people in their diocese? Is that happening out of their goodwill? Are they making 24 hours shifts to focus on this subject out of their good nature? The answer is obvious, we in Fresno, know who is behind them and they know that we know !!!!!

9) Finally, and despite the fact of the friendship with Orthopraxia, we are still asking you to activate the Wikipedia rules regarding: a) Editing Rules for editing other user's work. b) Truth rules, c) All applicable other rules.

10) Although, we have 250 members in our diocese that can easily join Wikipedia to protect their right to have religious information on Wikipedia and get into what Orthopraxia wants to drag us to, and this will end up that he either stop his vandalism of our diocese information or will end up blocking 250 users who will come back again to defend their religion.

11) We will also, take this matter to another level with Wikipedia because his requests are completely unacceptable. He already had (6) vandalism warnings and it makes us wonder how many warnings does it take for him to stop. We are fed up with these acts. We will not make any announcement or recommendations with the coptic orthodox families in the diocese, until you make your final decision regarding our rights and activating and applying the Wikipedia rules.

Nofri Lantermix,

Thanks for your response. Keep me posted. Merry Christmas to you too. Orthopraxia (talk) 03:12, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

Hi Lanternix,

It is quite obvious that these people have paranoia, this BVS guy, starts to make assumtions and deductions with a hint of a conspiracy theory. I don't need to defend myself, but for your knowledge:

• I don't know anything about this misrable parish and its more misrable congregation and I live in San Fernando Valley, Los Angeles.
• I have never been in Fresno in my life and no no one who is a member of this parish.
• For the last 8 years, I don't deal any bishop of the Coptic Orthodox Church on a personal level or even is a friend of mine.
• I myself had problems with the ministry and services within the Coptic Orthodox Church and I am not involved in any activities in it.
• I am not a member of the Coptic Orthodox Church anymore since 2001 and almost never deal with members of the local Coptic Orthodox Church where I used to worship.
• I am an active member in the Antiochian Orthodox Church and hold the rank of Subdeacon in my Antiochian Orthodox parish, with is under the omophorion (jurisdiction) of His Grace Bishop Joseph Zahlawe, Bishop of the Diocese of Los Angeles and the West. This does not mean that I am not proud of my Coptic Orthodox heritage and am not intersted in its history, dogma and ecclesiastical matters.
• I have learned from previous experience from dealing and interacting with Coptic Orthodox Clergy (Hierarchs and Priests) that made me never want to deal with any of them anymore.

So this BVS guy and his associates need to get off their horses and stop their propaganda. If, hypothetically speaking this parish with its priest became a diocese and he became a bishop, then it is definetly not under the jurisdiction of the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria. Now all it needed, if that claim is true, to provide a substantial proof of such diocesan erection and such episcopa consecration. All such events are always properly documented in the offical website of the Patriarchate and most definetly published in the "El Kerazza". I don't see that! Until this is proved, then there is no place on the Holy Synod page for such fabricated information, nor is too on other Coptic Orthodox Church relaled pages. That's beside the fact what I mentioned before that the proof provided is a mokery of that so-called diocese and that so-called bishop. If this PVS guy wants to discuss this issue by phone, here it is (818)989-7682 Orthopraxia (talk) 04:43, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

Nofri Lanternix, Thank you for your concern and understand your point of view, but the information I provided is not confidential and I am not afraid to give my phone number, perhaps the issue can be resolved by phone. Anyway, if you have a minute or two, call me, I haven't spoken to you since that sole phone call we made along time ago.Orthopraxia (talk) 05:19, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

Coptic editor

Nice to see a Coptic editor around, it adds to an essential balance in articles dealing with the Arab world! There is in fact a lovely Coptic Church next to my university. If you don't mind me asking what I generally like learning from orthodox Christians, what's your view on the Eastern-Oriental schism? I always hear really interesting points from each side so I like asking, because it is less clear cut than the Latin-Eastern schism. It also involves really interesting christology. --Afghana ^[talk] 23:16, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Coptic Synod

It's great that you're keeping track of the Coptic pages, but the current format is unhelpful. Metropolitans of the church are linked with metropolis instead of pages about their (personal) diocese. Dioceses are linked with generic city pages instead of articles about the diocese itself, their history, and their former bishops.

Red links will show people where work needs to be done. Besides which, there is a page for the Diocese of Syene: you just didn't wait until I was finished posting it up. -LlywelynII (talk) 10:32, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:PopeShenoudaIII24.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Alexandria Governorate.svg

A tag has been placed on File:Alexandria Governorate.svg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Governorates of Egypt

Hi Lanternix, I'm from Israel and the Heberw wiki. I found that you created one of the maps of Governorates of Egypt. I found also that the two maps are not the same. for example, Giza Governorate, no.11, is very small in the upper map (not yours) which does not fit with the table that says the area is 85,000 km^2 (bigger than Sinai peninsula which is 60,000 km^2). how can you explain the differences, and which map is the right one?

Blocked

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 72 hours for your disruption caused by edit warring and violation of the three-revert rule at Arab. During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 22:38, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

This is ridiculous! First of all, I encouraged the other party to discuss his reverts of my edits, which he/she has not done. Secondly, I agreed with some of his points and restored some of his changes as a compromise. Thirdly, and most importantly, I made one change and only 3 reverts, which technically does NOT break the 3RR rule! Get another admin to look at this, please! --Lanternix (talk) 22:50, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

Edit warring is still edit warring even if you don't pass 3 reverts; read WP:3RR carefully. But if you want another admin to look at this, there are clear instructions above. rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 22:55, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

Hi

The rules apply to some and not to others here, get used to it, even admins do not assume good faith and how could they, bias is everywhere. Well i looked into the matter of Kataeb , it looks as usual that wikipedia is used as a tool for political propaganda, to make things worse, there are wikioedians who assume knowledge of a subject but in fact they know nothing about it nor do they look up references or do a fact check. the end result is you get bombarded by ridiculous warnings and end up blocked ;P So as i was saying the references cited in kataeb were taken out of context, if a party adopts fascist discipline and not a fascist agenda and ideology then it is not qualified as fascist, that was most refused to comprehend because their own political affiliations forbade them to. I found a conclusive source that i added hoping this will end this pointless dispute. Eli+ 14:23, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

Arabic speaking Chrsitians

Hi mate, the debate is pointless here. Arab ethnicity is probably a minority in the arab states outside the peninsula, people don't and wont get that just as long as people in the "arab world" speak arabic. The term arab christians is not wrong but is not very accurate. I tend to avoid articles i cannot provide conclusive evidence for. read my comment on the talk page and we'll see what is to be done, in all cases there are too many unreferenced passages in the article that make it pretty unreliable, it's pretty poor and biased.

Change in coptic cross image

I noticed that you added coptic writing to the coptic cross image you uploaded for the copts template. what does it mean ? --George (talk) 18:52, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

I searched for it on google and it looks like it means Egyptian christians (correct me if I'm wrong). I don't think this should be added the picture since it's not part of the coptic cross and it's not part of the liturgy. --George (talk) 19:08, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

I didn't see it before because I don't have a coptic font on my comptuer. I still think you should remove it (at least from the coptic cross image) because even though it describes copts in the coptic language it's not known outside 3 pages on the internet (according to google) and one of them is a forum thread where a member translated it to coptic to describe himself because he doesn't like the word "copt".

If you're not convinced, I still think it should be in a separate image added to the template above the cross so that the cross can be used in other articles alone. --George (talk) 23:40, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

Arab Christians

Hi i noticed you've been trying to fight the POV of that article from many editors who are clearly biased, ive added a section with sources on the lebanese perspective of the Arab Idenity (for and against). Ive also suggested the name be changed. Since you seem to know alot and source well i wonder could help create a bit Egypt's viewpoint of the Arab identity and what is the viewpoint there like I have Lebanon, it would give the article more neutrality and less POV from arab nationalists. take care and good work so far.Miss-simworld (talk) 21:17, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

Thanks

They tried to edit alot of what I wrote out but i added sources and even now there is racist arabist who said i was you under a sock account LOL arguing with me over that section because he wants it out the article go on discussion part under Vandalism.Yeah I am 1/4 Egyptian I love Egypt but I hate the politicians and I hate Pan-Arabism it's racist and a cheap form of Islamism. Has comitted Cultural genocide in many countries and silenced free-thinking ♥Yasmina♥ (talk) 18:31, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

There's no doubt of the racism of Pan Arabism, I just added there a phrase by an Egyptian writer that wrote: "like Pan Islamism, Pan Arabism is an exclusive ideology". The recent intra-racism between Algeria & Egypt (for example) at the recent games, shows again that Pan Arabism is more of "pure supremacy" anti non-Arab than (fake dream of) "unity".

Toothie3 (talk) 06:15, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

LOL

sock claims have been proven false :)

get check my recent edits on the section, that guy is trying to act as if he cares about imparitiality by edit warring when the truth is he wants to whole thing deleted. also see the quotes I added which ARE well sourced word to word LOL hahahaha they are gonna hate it but it's 100% true. I bet you they are going to come it with a reason to delete that♥Yasmina♥ (talk) 23:53, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

Thanks

intresting article!! could you send me the link to the original site link? thanks it true what it says it is racism the worse kind i have ever seen, even if I was to find out that I was descended from an Arabian tribe (which is unlikely) that converted to Christianity I would never accept Arabism because today it's meaning is simple = islamism and excepting that Islamic culture is dominant to all. There is NO secular arabism that truely exists. It's a myth and a lie. Pan-Arabism is the Arab Nazism Germany was only able to flourish when that totalitarian and racist ideology was banished and abandoned it can only be the same for the middle east. Without it you will see more people being able to express and think for themselves and accept indiviuality and cultural/racial diversity and ofcourse minorities would be better off.♥Yasmina♥ (talk) 06:48, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

Here are some more

• Pan-Arabism (I am working on that one)
• Arab nationalism
• Egyptian Revolution of 1952 Major POV article terrible title since that revolution was anti-Egyptian and pro-Arab led by the Nazi-Arabist Nasser

THANKS

Merci Kteer for the gift :) I think I should do more Egypt Articles, just like the Lebanese ones they seem to be hijacked by Pan-Arabists. Need help with finding sources dont hestitate to ask for my assistance. I am currently working on the Koura & Amioun article cleaning them up. Alot of Lebanese articles need clearing up.

Pan-Arabism

Instead of editing my userpage could you please address the issues I raised with the sources you reintroduced into the article? nableezy - 05:06, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for your great work on Pan Arabism, true history is extremely important, like the Mufti's involvement in Pan-Arabism (among aother things...). PS Coptic, Arab Christians are/were victims of racism of Pan Arabism forcible Arabization. BTW, I think there's a mispelling of the word "Christians" in number 19 on this page.

Toothie3 (talk) 06:07, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Excellent editing for the Pan Arab article

The mufti hitler photos were very relevant and I am sure despite that it will still be rejected by pan-arabists as unreliable to link the their cause nazism. new article to watch Nasserism no sources only POV by pan-Arabists and excludes the fact he was racist he is accused of destroying Egyptian society.♥Yasmina♥ (talk) 14:20, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

March 2010

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 72 hours to prevent further disruption caused by your engagement in an edit war at Mahmoud Abbas. During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below.  Sandstein  14:31, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

See AN3 for a detailed rationale.  Sandstein  14:31, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

The Arbitration Committee has permitted administrators to impose, at their own discretion, sanctions on any editor working on pages broadly related to the Arab-Israeli conflict if the editor repeatedly or seriously fails to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behavior, or any normal editorial process. If you engage in further inappropriate behavior in this area, you may be placed under sanctions including blocks, a revert limitation or an article ban. The committee's full decision can be read at Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Palestine-Israel articles#Final decision.  Sandstein  14:33, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Lanternix (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

How exactly am I in violation here???? I completely stopped editing as soon as I reached 3 changes on the page Mahmoud Abbas!!! Why are you describing my behavior as disruptive while I was the one asking for arbitration??? How differently should I have behaved??? --λⲁⲛτερⲛιξ^[talk] 16:37, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

Decline reason:

You're not blocked for a 3RR violation; you're blocked for edit warring. --jpgordon^{::==( o )} 16:51, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Lanternix, you may additionally consider yourself blocked for your edit-warring at Copt (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) as also described at AN3.  Sandstein  17:38, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

HOW EXACTLY IS THIS EDIT-WARRING???? What's the point of the 3RR rule then? And what's the difference between someone who reverts fewer than 4 times and someone who breaks the rule by repeatedly violating it??? And it's not like I haven't tried to solve the issue on the talk page!!! --λⲁⲛτερⲛιξ^[talk] 18:13, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

Please read WP:EW; all of it.  Sandstein  18:31, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

Or, just to save you the time and energy: 3RR is not an entitlement to three reverts. 3RR is a bright line that, when crossed, means edit-warring is going on unambiguously. However, one can edit-war without violating 3RR; for example, you could come in once a day and make the same reversion or revision, and you'd still be edit warring. You really should already know this, given that this is your eighth block for edit warring; you're lucky it's as short as it is. --jpgordon^{::==( o )} 19:06, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

Sandstein, I think people like you should be the last to give advice. While I reverted only 3 times on that article and got 72 hours of block, the other user who reverted 8 times and edit warred with multiple other users on that page only received 48 hours of block (oh, and in spite of the fact that I was the one filing the complaint). I refuse to take advice from anyone who does not treat Wikipedia users fairly, and who clearly sides up with certain users at the expense of others. --λⲁⲛτερⲛιξ^[talk] 19:14, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

OK, pretend Sandstein didn't say it. Read WP:EW anyway - all of it. --jpgordon^{::==( o )} 20:32, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

Thank you

Thanks so much, I am still trying to get the point of this guy nableezy (muhammad or whatever) being obsessed in me, or is he behaving that terrible with everyone (off and online...), Can you provide me with some (even a temporary, for confidential purposes) email address? Is it that he just hate the city of Beirut? ps. the copts are the original native indigenous of Egypt! Beyruthi (talk) 18:06, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

Salut Beyruthi! It's nice to hear from you. Unfortunately, people like that user (and a few more) have hidden agendas and have prejudice against anything non-Arab and non-Muslim in the Middle East. His behavior of disruptive editing on the article of Sabra and Shatila massacre vs. Damour massacre is an excellent illustration of his hidden agenda. Unfortunately as well, many admins seem to side with this user's POVs. The problem is that our lobby is not strong enough yet. Unfortunately I'm blocked for a few days, so I won't be able to help much. But I'm always around if you need my help with anything. --λⲁⲛτερⲛιξ^[talk] 18:17, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

AfD nomination of List of Coptic Orthodox Churches in the United States

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is List of Coptic Orthodox Churches in the United States. 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 Wikipedia:Notability and "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(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Coptic Orthodox Churches in the United States. 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.

Template:Script/Coptic

• Hi Lanternix. I noticed lately that you have removed the template of {{Script/Coptic}} [3] of Copt article. putting the template makes the text easily edited & cleaner, instead of <span lang="cop-Copt" xml:lang="cop-Copt" style="font-size:100%;font-family:'Arial Coptic', 'MPH 2B Damase', 'Quivira', 'Analecta', 'New Athena Unicode';">ⲚⲓⲢⲉⲙ̀ⲛⲭⲏⲙⲓ ̀ⲛ̀Ⲭⲣⲏⲥⲧⲓ̀ⲁⲛⲟⲥ<br></span></font> we could simply type {{Script/Coptic|ⲚⲓⲢⲉⲙ̀ⲛⲭⲏⲙⲓ ̀ⲛ̀Ⲭⲣⲏⲥⲧⲓ̀ⲁⲛⲟⲥ}}. Additionally, the template prevents the Coptic text from overlapping with other lines, because it has this code line-height:150%; What do you think? --Mahmudmasri (talk) 07:08, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

Taha Hussein

Taha Hussein is not a notable critic of Islam. We keep people there only if they are so. --Matt57 ^{(talk•contribs)} 16:48, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

Arabic or not (no I dont), I don't see anything at all in his article that suggests he criticized Islam in any major way. If someone says once something like "Islam and democracy are not compatible", that doesn't qualify them to be a notable critic of Islam. If you want this done, add information in his article with a separate topic for criticism of Islam so we can see if he was a major critic or not. Someone strongly "secular" is also not necessarily a notable critic of Islam. --Matt57 ^{(talk•contribs)} 17:08, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

Respond here before you add his name back and respond to the above. --Matt57 ^{(talk•contribs)} 17:13, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

Then work on his articles and let us know WHY or HOW he is a notable critic of Islam and add that information in his article. Once you do that, you can add his name to the notable critics. If you do it right now, its no different than adding George Bush to the template. If you had read the text in the template it said you can only add notable critics of Islam, not just any Tom Dick and Harry. We must be be able to see plainly why that person is in the template. --Matt57 ^{(talk•contribs)} 17:22, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

What? I have taken part on talk here. Why arent you giving me the evidence for Taha Hussein being a notable critic of Islam? --Matt57 ^{(talk•contribs)} 17:25, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

Look we're working together not against each other. When people click on Taha's name from that template (Template:Criticism of Islam sidebar), they would expect to see why he's a notable critic of Islam and why his name should appear along side Robert Spencer, Ibn Warraq, Ayaan Hirsi Ali (people who have been strongly critical of Islam in a big way and their bio pages tell that; its as if thats all they are known for) and so on. If that information is not there in Taha's article, thats not good, do you get it. --Matt57 ^{(talk•contribs)} 02:49, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Advise

Hi, Lanternix, here's an advise for you. When you edit Egypt you did not add any references. You may consider taken some references from this article Nag Hammadi massacre and adding them to Egypt. Please feel free to ask me, if you do not know how to add references. Regards.--Mbz1 (talk) 04:56, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

It does look much better now. I do not believe somebody could claim it is not sourced anymore. Best wishes, and please feel free to ask if you need some help.--Mbz1 (talk) 17:37, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

Well, I requested clarification on the article's talk page and after instead of answering me Nab came to my own talk page to threaten me I filed AE here. But here's one more advice for you. I do believe that both massacres should be talked about in Egypt (maybe the text you added should be shorten a little bit), and I do believe the sources you used are reliable ones, but I also believe that instead of edit warring we all should discuss it on the article's talk page and to find a compromise. I hope Nableezy could explain why he is not happy with the sources. Regards.--Mbz1 (talk) 23:01, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

I accidentally clicked the link above the one I wanted in my watchlist and rolled back an edit of yours. Put it back as soon as I realised.

Bolivia

The previous user Maphobbyist is right: Bolivia has indeed abolished Roman Catholicism as a state religion and is now a secular state after the approval of the new constitution in 2009.

Bolivia has abolished Roman Catholicism as a state religion and is now a secular state after the approval of the new Constitution of Bolivia in 2009. In Article 4 it stipulates that the state and religion are independent from each other (Original in Spanish: “El Estado es independiente de la religión.”).

Armenia

Armenia (like Cyprus), does not have a state religion or state church, but still gives official recognition to the Armenian Apostolic Church as a national church

Armenia (like Cyprus), does not have a state religion or state church, but still gives official recognition to the Armenian Apostolic Church as a national church – a status just like in Scotland with the Church of Scotland. There is no single provision that provides for the establishent of a state religion or church, in the current Constitution of Armenia.

Jesus

NPOV demands we include all significant views. Islamic views are significant, and a paragraph detailing them hardly violates undue weight. Slrubenstein | Talk 18:35, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, I missed it. I rolled back my roll back so your edit is restored. Sorry, Slrubenstein | Talk 18:44, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

Please do not remove content from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to "Jesus" (paragraph "Islamic Views") without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. My edit/content is relevant with the title of paragraph that is "Islamic Views" about Jesus. Your content removal does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you. Zubair71 | Talk 15:18, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

Criticism of Muhammad

Was there any particular reason for this revert? Planuu (talk) 00:04, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

It was adequately explained in the edit summaries. What is there that you're not able to understand? Feel free to respond here. Planuu (talk) 00:19, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

In that case I'm sure you can answer this question: where has he been criticized for those particular hadith? Right now only primary sources are referenced, which means no critic has been explicitly mentioned. Surely that would be necessary in an article entitled Criticism of Muhammad. Planuu (talk) 00:28, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

The "references" you added are a complete joke. Not only that, but they are self-published and not even noteworthy in violation of WP:SPS of WP:RS. Furthermore, some of them don't even confirm some of the interpretations of the hadith, as the hadith aren't even mentioned in the sources! For example, answering-islam, which isn't a reliable source, doesn't contain the two hadiths that follow. Please put a bit more effort into finding reliable sources. Thanks for the warning about 3RR, but you've already violated it. Planuu (talk) 02:57, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

So because you, as an individual, can't be bothered by reading WP:RS (particularly WP:SPS), I need to ask the entire community of editors to review sources at WP:RSN. Is that what you're saying? I don't think that's necessary. WP:SPS is very clear on the sources you've used. Planuu (talk) 03:14, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

December 2010

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 month for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this notice, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.  Sandstein  16:55, 25 December 2010 (UTC)

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.

The other user has also been blocked. See this ANI thread for details.  Sandstein  16:57, 25 December 2010 (UTC)

• Upon your return, please reconsider this advice. I hope the holidays are treating you well otherwise and that you are enjoying festivities and cheer. Be well. Vassyana (talk) 21:17, 25 December 2010 (UTC)

• • Trust me, I tried my best:
    • once,
    • twice,
    • thrice,
    • and four times.
  • I really don't see how I would have done things differently. Merry Christmas! --λⲁⲛτερⲛιξ^[talk] 22:11, 25 December 2010 (UTC)

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Lanternix (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

---

Request reason:

This is completely unfair! After having been blocked with the other user for claimed "edit warring", and in spite of the fact that I was blocked for 1 entire month while the other user was only blocked for 1 week, that same other user involved in the issue was unblocked today!!! The reasoning for the unblock were completely erroneous including a claim that the user was reverting dubious and completely unreferenced material (I would LOVE to see what material was completely unreferenced!) or that user never broke the 3RR rule. The unblock reasoning further contained vague assumptions rather than fact, such as should be considered and whether to consider!!! While I was initially ok with my block and did not complain, in spite of the unfairness of the block time in both case, I am now requesting to be unblocked because the exact same reasons for unblocking User:Nableezy apply in my case, namely I was reverting dubious material, I was restoring referenced material, and I never broke the 3RR rule! λⲁⲛτερⲛιξ[talk] 14:58, 26 December 2010 (UTC)

Decline reason:

If you have taken the above advice to read the guide to appealing blocks before making an unblock request then you will have read WP:NOTTHEM. Unblock requests need to address the reason for your unblock, and any that don't are very unlikely to be considered. JamesBWatson (talk) 23:13, 26 December 2010 (UTC)

---

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Excellent! Which basically means I am being blocked for the exact same reasons another user was blocked then unblocked by a different admin. Sounds extremely fair to me! --λⲁⲛτερⲛιξ^[talk] 00:03, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

If someone is following this, please ask User:Planuu to please stop Wikihounding me. When an uninvolved and unbiased admin responds to my unblock request, I'll be more than happy to address the nonsense the user is bringing up. --λⲁⲛτερⲛιξ^[talk] 21:08, 26 December 2010 (UTC)

This about covers why I didn't consider your block problematic; at this point another admin has declined your unblock request already because of the nature of it. Note that you don't have a current unblock request; you would need to make another, this time taking into account WP:NOTTHEM. Rd232 ^talk 02:34, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

Coptic alphabet

Hi, I see that my timing is impeccable.

The more productive the editor, the more likely to get blocked, isn't that the general rule of Wikipedia?

I happen to have noticed that you created all of the images on the Coptic alphabet page, Libyan alphabet to be specific.

I think that the special text notice for Coptic could use a better, clearer image.

I was going to use one of your images, but the resolution is not good enough. Too many jaggies.

I was hoping that you would pick an image you particularly like and do a custom, higher resolution version that would look good in the template.

I hope your blocking matter gets resolved. Varlaam (talk) 06:38, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:MaysoonGhatas.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude (talk) 04:58, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

File source problem with File:StAthanasius4.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:StAthanasius4.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Non-free rationale for File:StMarcCote3.gif

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:StMarcCote3.gif. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:2006 Cup of Nations in Cairo.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:2006 Cup of Nations in Cairo.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Martin H.

Proposed deletion of Paoni 10

The article Paoni 10 has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unnotable, the one source didn't even mention the topic (and has been removed)

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. 🎄Cremastra 🎄 (talk) 16:12, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
