Dialog Among Civilizations
editThanks for your previous comment, as I was working on the Dialog page. I have created an account. Soon, I will start a discussion on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Dialogue_Among_Civilizations, which you can contribute to, as we proceed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tolerance44 (talk • contribs) 23:49, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Ali-Akbar Saidi Sirjani
editThanks for the compliment. I suspect you find some of my edits anti-Iran, but they aren't intended to be. If you have an article on the Iran-Iraq war and don't mention prominently that the war ended with a couple hundred thousand people dead but no change in the borders or regimes, or that for most of the war Iran was on the offensive, you're missing two of the most important issues. --BoogaLouie (talk) 16:23, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
Any problems with this? --BoogaLouie (talk) 14:27, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
- sure, add the KSA stuff
- it sound like the Iraqis voluntarily retreated, put down their guns like good boys, and left Iran, when they were defeated and driven out of Khoramshahr by force, and some even argue that the Iraqi forces never really fully retreated into Iraq at any point, and that they held on to many boarder villages and Iranian lands.
- and sure, it should say they were pushed back militarily and should include the word almost in
- "For about a year after the Iraqi offensive stalled in March 1981 there was little change in the front, but in mid-March 1982 Iran took the offensive and Iraqi forces began to retreat. By June 1982, an Iranian counter-offensive had recovered almost all the area lost to Iraq earlier in the war." --BoogaLouie (talk) 15:50, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
More arguing about Mossadeq and the Coup
edit"Realizing that the opposition would take the vast majority of the provincial seats, Mossadeq stopped the voting as soon as 79 deputies - just enough to form a parliamentary quorum - had been elected." This is a false/loaded statment, do you have another source for this beside Avrahamian? Does Vali Nasr make a similar claim? --CreazySuit (talk) 21:01, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
- No. I don't have another quote about the election. That and the fact that it is a controversial subject is why I preceded the statement with "According to Ervand Abrahamian ...". Abrahamian is a reputable scholar and his book Iran between two revolutions is a major work of Iranian history. You can't just assert that it is "false." --BoogaLouie (talk) 18:16, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
(I will paste this in the Mossadeq talk page)

Please vote in survey over whether to have article title Human rights in Iran or Human rights in the Islamic Republic of Iran
edit- 23 November 2007 Sinooher changed the article name from Human rights in Iran to Human rights in the Islamic Republic of Iran
- Koavf changed the article name back to Human rights in Iran 9 March 2008,
- Crazy Suit changed it back to Human rights in the Islamic Republic of Iran a couple weeks later, 23 March 2008.
We should decide this once and for all and not what the name is as it makes a difference to the wording of the text in the article.
Arguements
edit- In favor of Human rights in Iran, Arguement: Most of the Human Rights articles about a particular country are just Human rights in France or Human rights in Germany and do not include the full formal name of the country.
- In favor of Human rights in the Islamic Republic of Iran, Arguement: some articles do include the full name of the country - e.g. Human rights in the People's Republic of China (not Human rights in China). Both Iran and China underwent a revolution in the last century and both now have radically different governments then they did before their revolution, so it makes sence to include the full name of the regime. --BoogaLouie (talk) 16:37, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Jerk
editYes, I've been a real big jerk to Ali, and I'm sure that my comments were found offensive by you. My sincere apologies. A review of my contributions that don't involve fights with Ali are much different, and I encourage you to take a look at them. I disagree with Ali on so many levels about reliable sources and what's valuable content that my frustration has degraded into nothing more than insults and reverts, which doesn't help anyone. I'll leave cooler-headed people to deal with his motives, and will remove the Iran article from my watchlist. He has faced enough resistance on the Scythians article to allow me to avoid most fights with him there, but the article is important to me though I have few contributions to it. That's where it stands, and I would have rather approached the situation differently. Ali is a religious nationalist -- truth isn't known to live among such mindsets. Countering such persuasions with vulgar language isn't an effective defense of facts. TeamZissou (talk) 01:04, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
You could parse "Use captions to explain the relevance of the image to the article" as 'use captions to explain how the image could be relevant for reasons that aren't related to the subject of the image'. But it doesn't seem sensible to me. John Nevard (talk) 13:34, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
Human rights in Iran or Human rights in the Islamic Republic of Iran
editYes, it should have stayed on my user page. I moved it there when I wasn't tired and not thinking clearly.
editI was a fool. Chastise me with scorpions, stake me out in the desert sun. Give me a root canal.
I screwed up. It was put out too early. Does this make you happy? I assume you have never made a mistake? I'm trying to fix the problems, while dealing with other real-world responsibilities.
The reality is that you put so many tags on the article that it was hard to read in edit mode. When there was a FACT tag after each sentence in a paragraph, do you think I fail to get the idea that you are unhappy?
Assume good faith for a change, and that I'm trying to clean up my own errors without getting continuing complaints. Try some WP:CIVILITY when there is an UNDERCONSTRUCTION tag on it. If you have sources that disprove statements made, please offer them. Just complaining doesn't accomplish anything.
Howard C. Berkowitz (talk) 17:59, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
UNDERCONSTRUCTION vs. INUSE
editMay I suggest you look at the definition of the two? Indeed, INUSE is meant for a period of hours, although I suspect a reasonable criterion is to give additional time as long as the editor is actively editing and saving. UNDERCONSTRUCTION is defined to cover a longer period of time.
From the UNDERCONSTRUCTION expansion:
This article or section is in the middle of an expansion or major revamping.
However, you are welcome to assist in its construction by editing it as well. Please view the edit history should you wish to contact the person who placed this template. If this article has not been edited in several days please remove this template. Consider not tagging with a deletion tag unless the page hasn't been edited in several days.
While actively editing, consider adding {{inuse}} to reduce edit conflicts.
Recognizing that you are unhappy with the article, I am working on it as fast as I can, given that I have responsibilities other than Wikipedia. I have apologized for making the error of putting it out too early. I have asked for time, within the scope of UNDERCONSTRUCTION, to improve it. How do you see it as helpful to be making frequent complaints?

Assadabadi
editfight over al-Afghani. How about we keep al-Afghani but put in the lead something like, "even though he is known throughout the Muslim world as al-Afghani, scholars agree he was an Iranian Shia born in Asadabad"? --BoogaLouie (talk) 17:33, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
POV
editIf it were inappropriate to speak of peoples' POV, there would not be POV tags and both a general NPOV tag and a specific NPOV noticeboard. Shall we take this matter to the noticeboard? Howard C. Berkowitz (talk) 18:12, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
- I repeat: do you want to take this to the NPOV noticeboard? I'm not going to discuss this further except on article pages or a procedural page such as the NPOV noticeboard.
- I'll flatly deny associating anyone with a POV based on their nationality. It is, however, POV to insist that every issue be viewed through the viewpoint of an ideology or a country, as distinct from the characteristics of individuals espousing that viewpoint.
- We are not communicating here, and, again, I suggest that you take this to the Iran-Iraq War talk page or the NPOV noticeboard. Perhaps it might be informative to look at the way several people are working together, from different backgrounds, on the Soviet support for Iran deletion discussion, with the intention of finding a better way to organize several articles. After some initial clarifications, no one in that group is making accusations, but instead trying to solve a problem. Howard C. Berkowitz (talk) 18:59, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
Battle of al-Qādisiyyah and Donald Rumsfeld graphics
editThere's no problem for having this particular discussion based on the Battle of al-Qādisiyyah on my talk page, although if there will be several participants, it might make sense to move it to the Talk:Iran-Iraq War page. I have no particular opinions on this specific graphic or battle; I don't claim intimate knowledge of the subject.
In a broader sense, it is worth considering WP:UNDUE. It's been pointed out that Iran may well have 7,000 years of history to draw from. Really, I think having a classic Persian image, and a note about Persian civilization, is useful for people that have no background in the length of the culture on one side.
It could be asked, however, how much value there is in putting in a picture of Donald Rumsfeld shaking hands with Saddam Hussein, when the time span of the events with which Rumsfeld was concerned is perhaps a thousandth of the history of Persia, and even a small fraction of the time of existence of the United States. There is a possible POV question of showing Rumsfeld to draw attention to U.S. involvement, but not also having pictures of officials from Iraq's main arms suppliers, the Soviet Union and France. If no such pictures are available, perhaps none should be used, or those available could be in the country-specific articles. Howard C. Berkowitz (talk) 13:24, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
Tanker war
editExactly why are you objecting to my having a page,User:Hcberkowitz/Sandbox-Tanker War in my userspace, that is experimenting with the concept of the tanker war? No consensus, or even any other opinion but mine, is necessary to have something in a sandbox. If you don't like what's in my userspace, don't go there.

Saw your message, and you're right. NCRI is next on the list for cleanup. As far as the PMOI article goes, I reverted back to BoogaLouie's version.

And I'm sorry for that, because by adding an external link in the way you did you show to me: 1) That you don't know anything about FA criteria, 2) That you haven't looked at all at the rest of the article to see how inline citations are introduced.--Yannismarou (talk) 19:11, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Incidentally, last week on the strenght of my Wikipedia article, I was commissioned by the editor of a film magazine in Canada to write an extensive review article on Unruled Paper; the editor has asked me that I should strive to have an article at least twice as extensive as the one I have written for Wikipedia.

Cyrus cylinder
editHi CreazySuit, I'm an uninvolved admin, trying to come up to speed on the dispute at Cyrus cylinder. I'll freely admit that I am not familiar with the article content, so my suggestions are going to be general in nature. I apologize in advance for my ignorance. :)
The first thing I'm noting, is that you have a disagreement about some information that's being put in the lead, and you're deleting it as "fringe".[3][4] However, to an outside reviewer, it appears that the information is properly sourced to legitimate academic sources. Are you disagreeing that the sources are reliable? Or are you saying that the information from those sources is not being used properly? If the former, I recommend starting a thread at the reliable sources noticeboard. If the latter, then instead of deleting things entirely, it's better to modify the information from those sources, but to leave the actual citations intact. You may also choose to move the information to a different part of the article, especially if you feel that it's giving undue weight to a particular theory. Does that help? Other advice is available at Wikipedia:Dispute resolution. --Elonka 17:07, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
Cyrus cylinder
editFYI, I'm going to be working on an alternate version of the Cyrus cylinder page which would limit all the "reviews" and subjective interpretations of the cylinder (negative or positive) to direct quotes fully attributed to their authors. I'll be making an attempt to replace the sections As a charter of human rights and As an instrument of royal propaganda with a Legacy section. It would be made up of two sub-sections called "proponents" and "critics", containing the various views on the cylinder as direct quotes, while leaving the rest of article to a factual description to give readers a neutral presentation of what the cylinder is, as opposed to what it represents or means -- free of spin or speculation.

CreazySuit, this doesn't need to go to an arbitration. I dislike arbitrations, personally. They take up a great deal of everyone's time and the results are fairly predictable - often a block or topic ban. I have no interest in seeing you getting banned. All that is being asked of you is that (1) you respect the neutral point of view, by not constantly deleting every POV other than the one you favour; (2) you respect the prohibition on original research by not constantly insisting on your personal interpretations and making claims without citing any sources; (3) you don't engage in disruptive conduct by edit-warring as you did just before Battle of Opis was locked; and (4) you engage in proper dispute resolution by discussing articles rather than constantly reverting them. These aren't hard things to do. Thousands of contributors every day manage to do them without difficulty. Can't you? -- ChrisO (talk) 18:01, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

While it is certain that Sheikh Ahmed Barzani, Mustafa Barzani's brother converted to Christianity, there is no evidence that Mustafa Barzani or his son Massoud are themselves Christian and no sources can be found that attest to this theory.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
