What's up with [1]? Digwuren 09:32, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
Raphael1, you seem to be continually reverting this article. Please learn the lesson from your edits to other pages such as Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy which led to you being banned from editing it for a year. Please do not continually revert this page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mike Young (talk • contribs) 2007-08-10
Raphael, I don't want to see you blocked over this, but if you keep reverting this change, I am going to push for it. You have to understand that refering to this website is not endorsing it, and that you don't have the right to prevent us from discussing something just because you disagree with it. I am happy to discuss this with you further, so please hit my talk page if you want to talk, rather than just reverting again. Alexwoods 02:00, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
I wrote a long explanation on the talk page, to which you didn't respond and which you don't seem to understand. You are still reverting, despite a number of users' requests that you not do so. I am going to request mediation. Alexwoods 17:52, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
The legality of the war is relevent, and if the US Government conceded it was illegal that would perhaps warrant a section all its own. But it has not, Richard Perle was not expressing the view of the US Government - which has not conceded, or admitted, that it is illegal. For this reason, Kofi's quote on the legality was moved back where it was originally, the misleading section was removed (its the US Governments job to admit, not a war supporter) and Richard Perle's quote was removed for not being important enough (unlike Kofi's, which is quite important.) There are efforts to scale down the Iraq War page, and adding more oppinions will be counterproductive. It would be much better suited for the article dealing with the legitimacy of the war. ~Rangeley (talk) 17:31, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
you can get a better understanding of the insult factor if you take a little time to watch this documentry that explains some segment on how the arab israeli conflict has turned into personal lines. JaakobouChalk Talk 09:30, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
I think you know quite well that is not an appropriate addition to the article and is a clear violation of WP:NPOV. Who says he is controversial? Who determines the amount of controversy that warrants such a statement? Should we add "George W. Bush is a controversial president" to his bio? Please revert your edit. - auburnpilot talk 22:53, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
A vote has been called on the decapitalization of "r" in "Commonwealth R/realm." Jonathan David Makepeace 00:58, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
No idea. I think Voice of All is a check user admin though. I think PalestineRemembered needs to contact him directly for those details, and I'm not sure if they give those out. Its a very strange and interesting twist, isn't it? Kyaa the Catlord 10:02, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
Violated WP:CIVIL and WP:NOR, and is an incorrect application of WP:COI. It is being discussed at Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard#Sicko. THF 12:17, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
Hi,
would you pleace check whether User:Specialjane is/was indeed a sockpuppet of User:Dereks1x. I can't find User:Specialjane on Wikipedia:Requests_for_checkuser/Case/Dereks1x. Thank you. --Raphael1 10:26, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
How is this OR? Its sourced. Please dont remove stuff like this. --Matt57 (talk•contribs) 01:23, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
Please notice that a conflict of interest report has been filed against you. ChaplainSvendsen 19:04, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
Can you please stop deleting the link for the ReligionofPeace.com website, which is being talked about in the article by a reliable source? You've taken this out countless number of times. Its not going to work. Let it go. The information is sourced and relevant and thats all that matters, not your personal feelings about the site. --Matt57 (talk•contribs) 19:52, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
I believe I got a hang on your concerns regarding linking to www.thereligionofpeace.com, and made an attempt to address them. Please take a look, and I would appreciate a brief overview of the whole issue, if I've missed something. Digwuren 20:53, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
You are way over three reverts on this article. I would drop it if I were you. Alexwoods 15:52, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
Per my reversion - the reliability of the web site is not at issue, rather the fact that it exists, is notable, and uses the term "religion of peace" in a sarcastic manner. See Stormfront. That is an unreliable source and an offensive site but we link to it because it's the subject of the article. Do you understand? Alexwoods 23:03, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
I don't know if this is bad faith or something else, but I really think you should read my above comment five or six more times and think about it some more. It has nothing to do with selfpub or reliability or anything else. Alexwoods 03:34, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
Verify what? That the website exists? The number of hits it gets? What do you want us to prove? Alexwoods 12:26, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
1. Look at the website. 2. Look at the website. 3. Look at the website. You don't like it because you don't agree with its message. Not good enough. There is nothing that justifies the fact tag. Alexwoods 14:03, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
Can you read??? It can't be OR if it's an outside web page! Alexwoods 14:10, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for uploading Image:Gathering of eagles.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI 01:36, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:Gathering of eagles.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please see the discussion to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

Good, you finally settled for mentioning the ROP website in the ROP article. Makes sense, right? --Matt57 (talk•contribs) 13:36, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
But any religious idea that demands censorship is per definition silly, and it threatens Wikipedias overall goal of collecting knowledge. By the way, remember that it is only a minority of muslims that take offence of the Muhammad cartoons.The.valiant.paladin 22:32, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
Well, the fact remains that you and your likeminded wish to edit the article based on religious notions, and not the bareboned facts, the only thing appropiate for Wikipedia. And that's just plain silly, even more so when it's religious ideas that motivate the editing. The.valiant.paladin 22:50, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
Well, I'm sorry that your feelings are hurt by the truth, but the fact remains that religious people (muslims, cristians and many other religions alike) take offence of the strangest things. Wikipedia cannot take into consideration every little strange and silly religious idea when articles are edited. If we did, Wikipedia would soon be next to useless. That is the point of my argument and my use of the word "silly", a point you have chosen to ignore.The.valiant.paladin 23:09, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
Oh, there's plenty of truths out there that I find highly offensive, such as the fact that Muhammad consummated his marriage with a 9 year old girl. I'm disgusted by that fact, but nonetheless do I not try to censor that information or try to make it harder to get that information on Wikipedia. And speaking of red herrings, how do a silly idea become less silly just because a lot of people believe in it? Yes, it makes the idea more dangerous, but not less silly. Regardless, it's really not relevant that you become insulted by the fact that Wikipedia do not take people's silly ideas into consideration when editing an article. What is relevant is how informative and correct the article is and whether or not it conforms to NPOV. If you think the article will become more NPOV or more informative by removing or editing the position of the Muhammad cartoons, then that's the argument you should make. Wasting your time persuing those that consider editing or censoring on Wikipedia based on silly religious notions as irrelevant, pointless and silly is, quite frankly, a giant waste of your time. The.valiant.paladin 09:43, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
Child pornography is illegal. Mocking Muhammad is not. Again, you are wasting your time persuing those that consider editing a work of fact on the basis of irrational and silly religious notions as irrational and silly, instead of making arguments about how the article about the Muhammad Cartoons become more relevant and informative by removing or editing the position of the Muhammad cartoons.The.valiant.paladin 11:39, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
Unprotected. Nishkid64 (talk) 19:49, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
If there is one more revert on the article, I will fully protect the page again. Nishkid64 (talk) 20:51, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
I'm still waiting for your reply on the talk page (or do you prefer reverting over discussion) Yahel Guhan 21:03, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
Hi there. I noticed your revert of my edit to the Downing street memo article regarding the Conyers "hearing". First, neutrality often does involve removing material if it is unsourced and/or POV (this was both). Secondly, I restored my edits and have presented my viewpoint on the article's talk page. I would encourage you to take your viewpoint there and we can, hopefully, find a common ground. Lordjeff06 (talk) 21:42, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
Hi there, regarding your edit here, I too was concerned over User:Rastov removing this piece of information.[1] In case you're worried he might dispute your edit, I've given you the link to the Wikipedia policy that backs you up here, specifically the 2nd paragraph which says;
"Because this is the English Wikipedia, English-language sources should be given whenever possible, and should always be used in preference to other language sources of equal calibre. However, do give references in other languages where appropriate. If quoting from a different language source, an English translation should be given with the original-language quote beside it."
Keep up the good work :) Ryan4314 (talk) 10:45, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
Please stop. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did to Muhammad, you will be blocked from editing. Frotz (talk) 23:12, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
Given that a) Jimbo has no actual authority over content, b) he's not familiar with the situation, and c) his statement is patently false, it's not helpful. Please drop it. WilyD 19:23, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
WP:CON doesn't exactly helpy you out in this case. There is no consensus to change the article, as evident (STRONGLY) in the AfD yesterday of that fork article you wanted. Jmlk17 20:14, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
For repeated tendentious editing despite warnings, I have blocked you for 24 hours. Raul654 (talk) 20:19, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
How did I not WP:AGF there? I started with uw-v1 like standard polices instruct. CWii(Talk|Contribs) 19:11, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
Instead of using a template, try writing something yourself. Welcome templates aren't for established users and it will make you appear pushy (or lazy) and end up reverted, while a thought out message will be more specific to your situation. Just a suggestion. :) vıdıoman 17:29, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
Incidentally, the solution for crazy Islamic radicals is to address them, not to bark at anyone who dares point them out as such. --Cyde Weys 22:38, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
Two things. 1. It is grossly inappropriate to put a warning template on an experienced contributor's talk page. It is highly patronising. You are quite capable of making a much more sensible, non-templated warning. 2. Cyde did not say that all Muslims who wanted the images removed are "crazy radicals". The implication of what he said was that crazy radicals would want the images removed, but he did not suggest the reverse. Please be more careful before chucking around accusations of personal attacks. Sam Korn (smoddy) 09:55, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
People's goodwill is going to wear out really really fast, if you keep templating the regulars with inappropriate patronising messages, as you currently doing. --Fredrick day (talk) 10:17, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
Hi. You are repeatedly adding and readding templated messages on users' talk pages. When they are established users, do not do this. It is highly incivil and totally indefensible. Please stop it. Sam Korn (smoddy) 11:49, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
Look here to see how Raphael1 blanked my serious question on this page. He decries such action, yet does it himself. Dear Raphael1, when you scrawl graffiti on someone else's talk page, how in the world can you decry if a neighbor helps out by cleaning up the graffiti? And I'm confident you aren't so naive as to think your graffiti is anything but graffiti. You know the difference, but like to pretend you don't. You fool none of us. Anyway, I repeat my serious question below, which I am earnestly seeking an answer to. Thanks. Art Smart (talk) 13:13, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
Question: Is Raphael1's main issue his attempt to remove images from Wikipedia? With all the fuss he's making, I really REALLY would like to see all those images and share them with my friends. Where do I look? Please advise. Thanks. Art Smart (talk) 04:47, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
Raphael1 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
I don't see how it is illegitimate to inform User:Tarc, that he is not supposed to delete my comment from User_talk:Cyde. In fact User:Fredrick day should be blocked, because he wiki-stalked me and repeatedly removed my comments from other editors talk pages: [11] [12] [13]. Even if I had reverted 4 times (which I did not), removing other users' comments from 3rd parties talk pages is a clear case of vandalism and as such does not count as 3RR revert.
Decline reason:
Many users have requested that you not template the regulars. None of the messages you left were appropriate in the first place, and they wouldn't have been repeatedly removed if they hadn't been template messages. You technically didn't revert more than 3 times, but you have been asked, for good reason, to stop and yet you not only persist, you also revert-war over the issue. That is disruptive, so a block is appropriate here. Mangojuicetalk 19:37, 26 February 2008 (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.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited UNESCO, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page David Leigh.

As you've been away for quite a while, you may not be familiar with some of the current discretionary sanctions. Below is a notice meant only to inform you.
This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
You have shown interest in post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.
For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.
