article on the Comparison of Israel and South African apartheid

Greetings. I've replied to your recent comment on the Talk page. Thanks. HG | Talk 02:42, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Use of racist epithets Using degratory names for islamic terrorist militant organizations

Tkalisky, You made this edit to the page on Samir Kuntar, and in your edit summary you stated "Since when killing a policeman not murder? maybe in the Zballa-land it is a great deed but in most of the world it is not." Please do not use racist epithets against any ethnic or religious group. This kind of anti-Semitic hate speech has no place on Wikipedia. Thanks. --Tirpse77 (talk) 23:31, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Hello my friend !!

There is no need to take things personally. My statement above was directed at the hizballa - an organization which honors the murder of Israeli children [1][2][3]. I am sure you would never even think of supporting such a thing (am I right?) so I cannot understand why you have taken personal offence. Furthermore, if you can find me one single hizballa member who is willing to denounce Samir Kuntar and condemn the killing of Eliyahu Shahar, Danny Haran, and little 4 year old Einat [4], I will be glad to apologize to him.

Thank you for your efforts to eliminate hate and antisemitism from the world !!

With love and friendship,

Tkalisky (talk) 03:48, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

p.s. You accidentally forgot that hizballa is neither an "ethnic group" nor a "religious group", rather it is a militant organization that takes a very extreme and, let’s say, quite controversial interpretation of Islam [5][6][7]. I am sure you just got carried away in the heat of debate, so don't worry !! I perfectly understand and I forgive you.

Something you may be interested in...

Your recent edits to Hezbollah

Hi, you added a {{citation needed}} tag to the statement "However neither the original publication of the manifesto, nor those found on Hezbollah's website, include the statement." At the same time, you removed the existing source for this statement, which states:

"This paragraph did not appear in the original translation published by the Jerusalem Quarterly. It is possible that this ommision is due to the fact that the source (al-Safir) for the translation did not include this text, which appears in the original Hizballah Program. The original Program was published on 16 February 1985. The organization's spokesman, Sheikh Ibrahim al-Amin read the Program at the al-Ouzai Mosque in west Beirut and afterwards it was published as an open letter "to all the Opressed in Lebanon and the World". It should be emphasised that none of Hizballah's web sites have published the full text of the organization's program, and they prefer to publish the 1996 electoraral program which was intended for the specific propoganda campaign before the Lebanese Parliamentary elections in 1996."

What about the existing source was insufficient to support the statement, such that the citation was removed? Just to clarify (in case theres some confusion with the ambiguous wording), the "original Program... published on 16 February 1985" does, in fact, refer to the as-Safir publication. Note the second footnote in this paper. ← George ^[talk] 20:50, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback. I will look into it. If you think I am wrong just revert me. Best Tkalisky (talk) 20:58, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

Sections

I don't think you should create sections in the casualty section. I really don't think that it is in accordance with wikipedia policies to create a section consisting of only one line. Under Wikipedia:Layout, it says "Very short or very long sections and subsections in an article look cluttered and inhibit its flow". Currently there is not enough info to divide the section, at least not according to nationality.VR _talk 00:59, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Hello. Thanks for the feedback. I just think we need to discern somehow between all parties involved since now it is a big mess. If you can think of any other way to tidy things up then please go ahead. Best Tkalisky (talk)

I agree we need to discern. That is why they were already in different paragraphs. I just feel this article has too many sections (just take a look at the humanitarian crisis section). Also, I wanted to lump together all of Hamas' claims, which can't really be trusted at all, so as to show the other side of the story without giving it credibility.VR _talk 01:31, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

OK, I see you point. Go ahead and change as you think it should be. Best Tkalisky (talk) 07:29, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Restore

Hi. In this edit you seem to be trying to restore "1,000 christian worshipers led by Bishop Carlton Brown pray for Israel. Israel's consul-general in New York reads out Gilad Shalit's children's story." I have restored it here.

But in your edit, you seemingly deleted the entire humanitarian aid section. Please be careful not to do that next time. Cheers,VR _talk 16:33, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Ooops. That was not intentional and I apologize. טעות לעולם חוזר. Thanks for restoring my edits. Best Tkalisky (talk) 20:47, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Stalk much?

Funny you should notice I've started a Request for Arbitration... In the meantime, please fix the grammatical aberration you inserted into Baraka.

Cheers, pedrito - talk - 25.02.2009 15:33

From WP:HOUND: "Proper use of an editor's history includes (but is not limited to) fixing errors or violations of Wikipedia policy or correcting related problems on multiple articles". I wonder why you did not invite me to your arbitration.

Thanks though for the feedback regarding Baraka. Can you give more details on the grammatical aberration? I will be happy to fix it. Love Tkalisky (talk) 15:41, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Funny you should quote the exact same passage as User:NoCal100 did recently on WP:AE (now archived here), a discussion in which you also participated. As User:Black Kite pointed out to him/her, it is a completely bogus argument and threatened to block User:NoCal100 if he/she persisted. To quote him/her in full:

You are wrong. "Fixing errors" means fixing obvious errors, such as spelling, hoaxes, or obvious misinformation, not information that is contentious. In other words, if you think it's an error, but others don't, then it isn't an "obvious error". It's edit-warring. Don't do it. (And that applies to all "sides", clearly). Yes, the rationale is a content dispute, and irrelevant here. Black Kite 15:01, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

i.e. you are edit-warring. As for your grammar on Baraka, there is no "the Samaria". If you can't catch those yourself, you should not be editing in English.

Cheers, pedrito - talk - 25.02.2009 15:51

P.S. (edit conflict) I didn't invite you because you only showed up to edit-war without discussion, i.e. you had nothing to do with the initial dispute.

Nazi, Swastika References Being Purged from Syrian Social Nationalist Party

Would you mind having a look at the problem of the Syrian Social Nationalist Party's Nazi history and swastika flag being systematically deleted/vandalized? This removes an important aspect of neutrality from the article. References from many reliable sources are provided. See its talk page. The edits are being done by users with IP addresses from very similar domains. Thanks, Histopher Critchens (talk) 20:31, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
