Image:JerusalemWest1870s.jpg

Hi. Well done with the Suba article (it's moved around a bit, let's see if you can find it!). Anyway, I saw you uploaded Image:JerusalemWest1870s.jpg and was wondering if you happened to have the whole map, or at least the part a bit further to the west. This is unrelated to the article, I just happen to live around there and I was curious...--Doron 22:58, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

1948 Casus Belli

Well, admittedly your deletion of the casus belli line might have just accomplished the inevitable with a lot less flamewar, but I'm still uneasy about it. I mean, I spent the better part of an hour digging up primary sources and dictionary definitions for that one little line, and it gets deleted because ignorant morons learned different in Sunday School (or think, falsely, that they did, because they don't bother to find out what 'casus belli' means).

I don't know. I sort of expected this to happen when I waded tentatively into the Israel/Palestine morass, but it's still disappointing. Granted, the rest of the article is a lot worse, and I should probably just resign myself to it staying that way. But please reconsider.

Sabra and Shatila - a genocide ?

Hi Zero,
UNO voted in 1982 a resolution that it was an "act of genocide".
The information has been added in Genocides in history's article.

Edit warring

You've made 3 reverts in 24 hours at Folke Bernadotte. I know that you are an experienced editor and you know that edit warring is unacceptable. It fosters bad feelings and prevents proper resolution. You ought to be using dispute resolution like mediation when in a conflict, not aggressively edit warring. I am in particular concerned by your use of rollback against other good faith editors you disagree with; please see Wikipedia:Revert#Rollback, it is not for content disputes. Dmcdevit·t 17:14, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Aggressive reversion disguised as an edit.

You say that you removed "highly non-encyclopedic edits" because this "is not a eulogy!” of Rabbi Chaim Michael Dov Weissmandl. Please tell me what's unencyclopedic about what was written. If you think that parts of it are unencyclopedic; I can understand that; but be so kind and leave what to you is encyclopedic. What does "highly non-encyclopedic" mean? Are mediocre or lowly unencyclopedic edits acceptable? What consists a eulogy? Is what is said at a eulogy forbidden in Wikipedia?

I truly don't understand on what grounds you did a blanket reversion of 5 edits without bothering to explain. For an experienced editor like you; this is totally unacceptable.

Also reversions need to be identified as reversions; otherwise they are considered edits. Reversions disguised as edits or edits disguised as reversions is pure vandalism. Itzse 17:50, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Adam Keller court martial undeletion

Hi Zero0000, I am trying to get an interresting article Adam Keller court martial undeleted. The article helps provide a more balanced view of Israeli society and shows that Israelis are not all gun toting settlers. See Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2007 January 26#Adam Keller court martial. The main justification for the deletion is a aledged lack of citation in the mainstream media. Do you have access to any citations of the courtmartial? Thanks in advance for any help.

Al-Ghabisiyya

Done. Sorry for the mistake, I was a bit stressed when I added it (making sure it wouldn´t get deleted.) I also added Benvenistis footnote, hidden in the text ( quote inside the quote is from the High Court Justice Decision 220/51, 30 November 1951.) It is not very "elegant" with such a long quote in an article (as I said: I was stressed..) ....so feel completely free to break it up/delete/rework it as you see fit. There is more about the later developement in The Benvenisti book, mostly about the village mosque, which they have tried to use/renovate for years. I´ll add that later. I understand there is a law in Israel against destroying "holy places", like churches and mosques? Do you have any references about that? In Ghabisiyya the authorities basically argued that the village mosque hadn´t been a mosque; therefore they could not renovate it. (In Biram and Iqrit they have been allowed to renovate their churches, (citing the same law?)). If you have any references on this law, it would be great. Thanks, and regards, Huldra 00:09, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Done. I have also expanded it with some of the later stuff in the Benvenisti -book (...I just bought it..) If you think it is too long, or whatever; do feel free to shorten it/rework it (I´m not a native english speaker, as you might have noticed). Also, I think there might be a typing error by note 12? It says "In September 1948"...but if that date is correct, then the sentence should be moved forward? However, if it should be, say, "In September 1950"...then that would be consistent with the claim that they were kicked out of their village three times. Regards, Huldra 08:12, 28 March 2007 (UTC) PS: and thank you for your excellent work on Al-Ghabisiyya!

Re: Correct erroneous and somewhat jumbled text

Hi Zero,

Aside from my spelling error, I'm not sure what was wrong with my edit. Didn't "Palestine" refer exclusively to Western Palestine after the 1923 separation of Transjordan? Let me know if I've made some stupid mistake :-) Tewfik^Talk 02:39, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Transjordan was a political subdivision of the British Mandate of Palestine alongside Western Palestine until 1946. I don't see any contradiction there aside from the ambiguity in years in that passage, especially regarding your third point, where I don't think the implications you see are really there.

Image:Hass1.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Hass1.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{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 the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MECU≈talk 19:06, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

A note

FYI, I canned a (IMO) needless note left here by Zeq. Sems they asked him to put a bit of brevity into his Arb response, and he thought it'd be cute to cut n paste the message word-for-word to you as well. Just thought this mess could do well with one less provocation.

Anyways, saw your note on El C's page about leaving and just wanted to echo his sentiment about maybe just taking a break rather than quitting. I think you do some good `round here, and it'd be the wiki's loss if that work was removed from the equation. Tarc 13:07, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Abd al-Kader

Hi Zero,
Troubles with Zeq ? :-(
I have some other. An administrator from Commons wants to delete the photo of Abd al-Kader al-Husseini because he says nothing prove the picture was taken in the British Mandate (Palestine or Jordania) where copyrights were limited to 25 or 50 years.
Copyrights are the same in Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, Irak and Saudi Arabia.
Do you think you could source Abd al-Kader only lived in those countries ? I could not but could not source he lived elsewhere either... Thank you !
NB:this is quite "urgent". We have 3 days remaining (out of 7) to "prove" the fact... Alithien 06:31, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your answer.

I think it is "obvious" that the picture if free or rights but proving this is another matter, indeed.

I leave him delete this. I think we cannot prevent this. Alithien 08:00, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi Zero

I don't really care about that specific person but it looks like you misspelled his name: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Shmuel_Katz&diff=prev&oldid=126378594 - can you explain ? Zeq 20:08, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Amoruso

I'm loosely considering an rfa against Amoruso, based on his ludicrous statements on the Deir Yassin page that "No historian today believes there was a massacre." I really don't think that anyone who can hold such absurd positions in face of definitive evidence to the contrary, ought to be editing this page, and this is not the only page where he has caused other editors a lot of unnecessary trouble.

I don't know much about the rfa process or when is an appropriate time to start one, but I've noticed you have mentioned the idea before and if you think there is a case to be made, I would certainly be prepared to participate. Regards, Gatoclass 07:37, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Definition of "historian"

I notice on the Schmuel Katz page you had this to say:

There is no formal definition of "historian" so the fact that he wrote a few books that have the form of history and one (the last one on Jabotinsky) that has received some favorable notice from historians means that I don't object to him being called a historian here.

I really think that Wiki should not be referring to people without the appropriate degree as "historians". If someone has written a history of something that has gained recognition from qualified historians, I have no objection to them being quoted on the relevant page, but they should still not be referred to as historians but only as writers. On the basis of what you have suggested here, almost anyone who has written something cited by a real historian can be called an "historian", which can only lead to a total debasement of the term. Gatoclass 04:56, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

I figured perhaps that was an attempt to be conciliatory, but it already seems to have backfired to some extent, with Amoruso quoting you over it.

Anyhow, I see no reason why someone like Katz should ever be referred to as an "historian". Writer and journalist, fine, historian, no. By that yardstick I could call Chomsky a historian because Zinn has said some nice things about him. You have mail BTW. Gatoclass

(Trans)jordan

From what I read and what you found, I think we can guess (only guess unfortunately) that Abdallah had in mind to give credit to his annexion by changing the name of his country. He modified history to make it believe it had always been -from 1946- the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan but only proceed to the use of these words starting beginning of 1949. The official name was never officially modified given it has to be this one since 1946 but most historians, who never cared about this little manipulation, just noted that the apparition of the new name coincide with the annexion of West Bank and they fix this at different moment according to the first time they met this.
Don't worry. I don't want to write this in wp but I am confident not to be far from truth after comparing you primary sources from PP, secondary sources from historians and official Jordan website with a version that is not reported by any historian...

bad sources

Hi Zero,
I have a high respect for your expertise and I think that when you write something or give an analysis you can be trusted.
I have nevertheless a "problem" with the arguments you sometimes use to "prove" a source is not reliable...
The fact an historian is biaised cannot be used as an argument to reject him as a reliable source simply because they are all biaised a way or the other and all make mistakes. Even if you can "prove" that an historian is of "bad faith", a "pov-pusher" or a "propagandist", he is still an historian and unless we have writings from his pairs where they clearly attack him on that subject, I don't see how we could reject him as a reliable source for wikipedia.
More, we are not assumed to "write the truth". Wikipedia is not expected to be a "secondary source" but to be a "tertiary source", ie gathering the minds and analysis of secondary sources on a subject - truths and lies -.
NPoV doesn't mean using "neutral secondary sources" (that do not exist) but to introduce - a neutral way - all secondary sources on a subject.
I am confident your analysis are right here but on the methodology, this creates problems :

• how to make the difference between an historian who is not honnest and an historian who is wrong ?
• what is the limit of "bad faith" at which we can decide an historian cannot be a source for wikipedia ?

In practive, if Katz or others should be "rejected", don't you think there is enough to rejet any writings from Pappé ?
What do you think ?
Regards, Alithien 14:04, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi Zero,

First I want to underline that there is no critic but only questions in my comments :-)

To answer you :

I had rather Pappé and Schechtman in mind. And I had also your methodology in mind (such as the one you use in the British mandate article to proove how biaised is an historian)...

I think it is not objectively possible to distinguish Schechtman from Pappé, and particularly if we just "copy/paste" the methology I have just referred to.

Both have been caught "forgotting some facts" or "lacking fairness" (Pappé by pairs, Schechtman by you and ... ?), both have political agenda, ...

I agree that when we can source by another source we should better use that other source. Clear.

And I agree that Pappé's theories can only be sourced by Pappé and he is a strong defender of some points.

But why is Schechtman censored for the same reasonning ?

I don't see any difference in stating that Plan Daleth was a blueprint for ethnic cleansing than in stating that Husseini was mainly an antisemite or that most Palestinians were immigrants and not established in Palestine... And I could say I do not understand how somebody can write a chapter on 1948 War in "forgetting" to describe real balance of forces before-during-at the end of the conflict... (extremely few historians do that. Are they liars ?)

What do you think about the way to objectively differenciate all of them ?

From my mind, even propagandist deserve to see their mind written... And if it is controversed (by their pairs) it must be stated but none propaganda can be censored by us. We are not assumed to judge the propagandist character of an information.

Orphaned non-free image (Image:AlHusayniHitler.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:AlHusayniHitler.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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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).

Tantura article

Hi Zero, Given the recent edit wars on Ilan Pappé regrading the "made-up massacre" there, and the statement that "Neither Israeli nor Palestinian historians had previously recorded or described any such incident", perhaps it is time to move your Tuntura article into main article space? regards, ابو علي (Abu Ali) 11:59, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Menelaus' theorem

Be careful of what you move things to. /user.talk 01:56, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Wow. I don't know what happened, but it seems like everybody's spelling it Menelaus' theorem instead of Menelaus's theorem for some reason. /user.talk 02:00, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

New article about Israel & UN

Hello Zero, you recently left a comment in the talk page of the Israel and the United Nations article, asking for objective data re. anti-Israel bias. I share your opinion and, disappointed with the quality of the article, rewrote it completely. Please have a look : Israel, Palestine and the United Nations. Emmanuelm 17:42, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Your views requested re Kosovo arbitration enforcement

You'll recall that a few months ago you participated in Wikipedia talk:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2007-03-31 ChrisO, which involved User:Nikola Smolenski arguing in favour of using an unreliable source. Another issue has arisen with the same editor repeatedly disrupting an article currently under article probation. I can't take action myself, since I've edited the same article, but I'd be grateful if you could review the facts set out at WP:AE#Enforcement request re Kosovo. -- ChrisO 00:14, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
