I cannot believe Namiba deleted some historical facts about Fiat Tagliero Building claiming ‘uncited’. Does he want a citation from a book? Is everything that is in a book true? I was born and raised in Asmara. Therefore, I am a living book. Why doesn’t he leave the judgment to the readers?

Because we need reliable sources. You are not a living book. Read a little about Wikipedia's policies then get back into editing. I am flattered to have this stuff even written about me.--TM 01:31, 16 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

I know the building was built when Italy was ruled by fascist ideologies. Some people are intolerant of any success stories of that era. I hope you are not one of them.

And who cares what you know? Wikipedia does not care. It only matters what you can prove. Re-adding uncited material is considered vandalism. If this continues, you will be blocked.--TM 17:38, 16 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Female genital mutilation and sexual function edit

Hello Yohannesb,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Female genital mutilation and sexual function for deletion, because it appears to duplicate an existing Wikipedia article, [[{{{article}}}]].

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. — kikichugirl speak up! 03:46, 15 February 2015 (UTC)Reply

SlimVirgin is an emotional woman. She doesn't accept any medical or national research. She claims, she has her own research based on, allegedly, over 12,000 women from different nations.

Now, that 12,000 claim is questionable. National Center for Biotechnology Information, a branch of United States National Institutes of Health, stand on Female Genital Mutilation is different than hers, namely, women do have sexual pleasure and desire despite being circumcised. When I tried to add that, she immediately deleted it. She also has deleted another research conducted in the Sudan... Her reason? She claiming Sudanese women are different human beings physically than other human beings. Then, again, she claims since 1989, women have progressed evolutionary, so they were different women than now, etc. etc. That's why I said her arguments are emotionally charged. When arguments are too emotional, they lose rationality. Yohannesb (talk) 06:15, 19 February 2015 (UTC)Reply

Yohannesb, kindly refrain from making assumptions based on my gender. It is irrelevant. I do not appreciate blatantly sexist comments. I did not delete your article - we already have an article on Female genital mutilation. You're welcome to go edit that article, instead of insinuating that all women are irrational, crazy things incapable of rational thought. — kikichugirl speak up! 06:00, 19 February 2015 (UTC)Reply

[[User talk:Kikichugirl], please accept my sincere apologies. What I had in mind was [[User talk:SlimVirginl] not you.

Regardless of who it was directed at, it's still sexist and pretty rude to insinuate that someone is an "emotional woman". Wikipedia's policy states that we should comment on people's actions/their content, not the people. Gender is irrelevant. — kikichugirl speak up! 06:50, 19 February 2015 (UTC)Reply

Quick thing: I misread the sentence and thought it was a personal attack, sorry @Yohannesb: TheMesquitobuzz 06:57, 19 February 2015 (UTC) Reply

Kikichugirl, SlimVirgin claims that Sudanese women are different physically is racist. Physically, all human beings are the same. It appears, she has declared war, so to speak, on FGM. I wish her success. However, she should not fight it with lies. The truth is circumcised women do have sexual feelings, they do have desires, and they do have orgasms. I've met white women who have not undergone circumcision and do sex like a dead salmon and I have met circumcised women who enjoyed sex. I'm from Africa and I live in USA --I've seen them all. One thing I've observed is if a woman loves the man, she enjoys it; and if she doesn't love the man, she doesn't. A man, on the other hand, could enjoy sex with a woman that he doesn't love. Be that as it may, the truth is there and it will be there to stay.

That's original research. Can you provide a source for all of your arguments involving blanket statements for an entire gender? — kikichugirl speak up! 08:48, 19 February 2015 (UTC)Reply

Kikichugirl, if you stand for the truth (unlike our UK girl, SlimVirgin), add this small statement on that FGM topic. But, I have no doubt, SlimVirgin, will remove it:

According to National Center for Biotechnology Information, a branch of United States National Institutes of Health, study reports that women who had undergone Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting (FGM/C) can also have the possibility of reaching an orgasm. The study was done on a group of 137 women, affected by different types of FGM/C. The women reported orgasm in almost 86%, always 69.23%; 58 mutilated young women reported orgasm in 91.43%, always 8.57%; after defibulation 14 out of 15 infibulated women reported orgasm; the group of 57 infibulated women investigated with the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) questionnaire showed significant differences between group of study and an equivalent group of control in desire, arousal, orgasm, and satisfaction with mean scores higher in the group of mutilated women. No significant differences were observed between the two groups in lubrication and pain. [1]

Moreover, a research was done in Sudan and the results were similar, that is, circumcised women do have sexual pleasure and desire. [2]

Kikichugirl, weren't you the one that was bragging that all women are not emotional, sexism, etc. etc.? Why aren't you standing by the truth then? Why are you silent all the sudden? I thought you had the courage to add that truth about FGM. — Preceding unsigned comment added by [[User:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]] ([[User talk:{{{1}}}|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/{{{1}}}|contribs]])

The reason presented for deletion was invalid, so I restored it. That the article is sexist would be a valid reason for deletion (but not speedy deletion) if it is not the case that the journal is peer-reviewed, not fringe, and the text added fairly represents the text of the article.
Yohannesb, if you continue with personal attacks based on the gender and geographic location of your opponents, I will block your account from editing Wikipedia. Please read WP:NPA. Thank you for understanding.--Ymblanter (talk) 20:14, 20 February 2015 (UTC)Reply
Yohannesb, please stop making sexist comments and generalizations. Not all women are only solely emotional beings. By insinuating that I lack courage to fight with you, you are continuing with personal attacks, which can get you blocked. In fact, it is not that I lack courage, but rather, I find it unnecessary to restate arguments I have already made. — kikichugirl speak up! 20:22, 20 February 2015 (UTC)Reply

Dear Admin, Things have gone a little out of control here. I did not mean to offend anyone. Sorry and his will not happen again.

We at Wikipedia love evidence-based medicine. Please cite high-quality reliable sources. We typically use review articles, major textbooks and position statements of national or international organizations. A list of resources to help edit such articles can be found here. The edit box has a build in citation tool to easily format references based on the PMID or ISBN. WP:MEDHOW walks through editing step by step. We also provide style advice about the structure and content of medicine-related encyclopedia articles. The welcome page is another good place to learn about editing the encyclopedia.

Dear User/Doc James, why did you delete that information? You said, <<We typically use position statements of national or international organizations>>; and what I added is verbatim from National Center for Biotechnology Information, a branch of United States National Institutes of Health. It is the USA's stand on Female Genital Mutilation.

Please add it back or stop deleting it.

Talk page messages edit

This is the third or fourth time you've placed messages incorrectly on my talk page. Please place new messages at the end of the talk page, or at the end of the section. As for your edit to collective security, the parts "While all others mentioned here could not imagine the world beyond nationalism, " and "for the first time," are unsourced, and "all-embracing" and "universal" do not add to the article. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 13:15, 23 February 2015 (UTC)Reply

I'm taking the time to warn you again; messages placed at the beginning of my talk page will be ignored.

0 [zero] edit

Can somebody explain this to me why this was removed from 0 [zero]. Does it have any errors? << Computers communicate with each other with lights. The advantage of using light is you can beam it through satellites, just as you would beam light through mirrors. When you see lights turning on and off very quickly in a network, it means there is communication of different computers. This OFF and ON is represented by 0s and 1s, respectively. Calculating with 0s and 1s is called Boolean algebra. In a computer, ON means 1 and OFF means 0. One English alphabet is represented by a bunch of binary numbers. For example, A=01000001, B=01000010, C=01000011 etc. etc. One computer sends these binary numbers and the receiving computer interprets them. Each color has its own binary numbers. That is what it means when we say that a camera is a digital camera --it simply means, it understands binary numbers. However, since we cannot write with binary numbers, we must use computer languages to write the binary numbers in the computers for us. The computer languages in turn work between the users and the computers. In other words, as you are reading this, behind this page, there is a computer language page; behind that computer language page, there is a binary number language page; behind that binary number language, there is 0s and 1s page; and behind 0s and 1s, there is light on and off page. >> Yohannesb (talk) 12:16, 20 March 2015 (UTC)Reply
