Reverting on article Jesus

I have started a talk at Talk:Jesus#Recent Reverting of template. for the recent reverting.Thanks -- Ibrahim ebi (talk) 19:10, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

Isa (name)

Hi :) I'm wondering why don't you discuss your bold edits first instead of repeatingly trying to remove a well-cited sentence from EQ's paragraph? I reverted your edit per WP:NOCONSENSUS, as that policy explains that we must retain "the version of the article as it was prior to the proposal or bold edit". Wiqi(55) 11:44, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

Semitic 1st AD.svg

That that the borders have to be more or less approximate is clear. I just doubt that Amharic can be dated so far back. It's not only a modern language; ancient Amhara region is said to have been conquered in the 9th century AD and Amharic language only became the royal language in 13th century AD, spread mainly in the 14th century with a lot of conquests under Gäbrä Mäsqäl ʿAmdä-Ṣiyon. One might rather consider to separate (the predecessor of) Modern South Arabian, which is presumably close to Ge'ez, and Old South Arabian, which is presumably more distinct from Ge'ez. Anyway might be termed South Arabian instead of Southern Arabic, to avoid confusion... --Aferghes (talk) 00:11, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for your remarks. I had a very vague idea of South Arabian and Ethiopic, could you give me more details on where were they distributed at the turn of the 1st millennium. I would appreciate it if you can provide references.--Rafy talk 13:19, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
The most recent publication on Semitic Languages including South Semitic I know is Stefan Weninger (ed.), The Semitic Languages An International Handbook, De Gruyter 2011, ISBN 978-3-11-018613-0.
On the question that Modern South Arabian might be closer to Ethiosemitic than Epgraphic (or Old) South Arabian cf. The Semitic Languages (2011), p. 1116: "This would leave MSA and ES as a sort of ‘core’ South-Semitic. And indeed, as Müller (1964) has already argued, these two groups share many features:".
On the division North Ethio-Semitic (Geez) vs. South Ethio-Semitic (Prdecessor of Amharic) cf. also doubts in: Rainer Voigt, North vs. South Ethiopian Semitic. I.: S. Ege et al. (eds.). Proceedings of the 16th International, 2009 in: Conference of Ethiopian Studies, vol. IV (Trondheim: NTNU-tryck), 1375-1387, online http://portal.svt.ntnu.no/sites/ices16/Proceedings/Forms/AllItems.aspx .
The Ethiosemtic Languagages were probably the Northern Part, i.e. the Geez part. My assumption that the Southern regions are probably later is based on historic sources that these areas were only much later conquered; cf. e.g. Taddese Tamrat Church and State in Ethiopia 1270-1527, p. 35 (Amhara in 9th century), p. 119ff. (further territorial expansion from 1270)
--Aferghes (talk) 15:56, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
There is a map on Ethiosemitic Languages (p. 1123) and on MSA (p. 1078) in Stefan Weninger (ed.), The Semitic Languages (2011), but the maps are of course of today (and not of 1st century AD). Generally MSA is east between today Yemen and Oman, and on the island of Soqotra.
--Aferghes (talk) 16:42, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
Sorry for the long delay. I have done the following:
  • Renamed Southern Arabic to Old South Arabian.
  • Removed Amharic.
  • Split MSA and merged it with Ge'ez under the name South Semitic.
Is there any evidence that suggests that MSA predates Ge'ez and other Ethiopic Semitic languages or was a migration the other way around?
P.S. I have copied this discussion to the image's talk page. I think it is best we continue further discussions over there.--Rafy talk 16:45, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

Assyrian International News Agency

Hi, Rafy. How are you ? Is this a reliable source ? I'm interested in Kurdish ethnocentric assimilation propaganda. Takabeg (talk) 23:18, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

Hi, AINA is definitely a partisan website and must be used with caution. I wouldn't use it as a main reference in any controversial issues myself but the website has its weight among many Assyrian nationalists, so a brief attributed mention can be useful to convey the POV of many Assyrians.--Rafy talk 15:58, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

An article for your interest

Read this article and request the remainder of it from the author. Enjoy! P.S., try not to get influenced so much by scholars who say the identity of our people is a relatively recent contraption, I've read many of your recent comments and it seems that you're slowly falling on the side that we are not what name says we are. Be strong, even when you find yourself in the minority at times my friend. http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1721218 130.17.85.239 (talk) 19:40, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

Your editing

You wrote: "I wanted to let you know that I undid one of your recent contributions, such as the one you made with this edit to Ivan Dias, because it didn’t appear constructive to me."

Constructive towards what? Please specify! I simply documented a fact about the media coverage on Cardinal Dias without commenting it in any biased way and thereby contributed to the construction of an informed resource on the subject. It is not up to you to decide for all the rest of the Wikipedia users which facts they might find helpful in their future research. If you doubt the stated facts, you can add alternative sources or start a discussion. So please undo your edit and restore my contribution. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82a940v (talk • contribs) 12:17, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

Tychonic Model

It seems you do not understand why I removed the line and you are deleting other reliable references I have added to the article. I have had astronomy students incorrectly reference this article confusing the line to refer to special relativity and not a basic mathematical frame of reference transformation. The line appeared to be added by someone who supports modern geocentrism, which is not taken seriously in modern astronomy and reduced the strength of stellar aberration, which I added a reference for. ~ 70.177.229.154 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.177.229.154 (talk) 13:47, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

I have zero knowledge in astronomy but I know that blogs are not a WP:RELIABLE SOURCE.--Kathovo talk 13:54, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

Phil Plait is a professional astronomer and published popular science author. His Bad Astronomy blog was not self-published but published on the website of a science magazine, Discover Magazine. According toWP:RELIABLE SOURCE, this would place it under a news organization source. His article explains the removed line should be rewritten to avoid confusion with special relativity or stating Einstein supported a geocentric Universe. The reference for stellar abberation is from a online astronomy textbook written by Courtney Seligman, who is a former Professor of Astronomy at Long Beach City College. Stellar abberation is also described at Ron Nave's Hyperphysics website (http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/relativ/star.html#c2), a web-based physics textbook. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.177.229.154 (talk) 19:18, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

David Coleman

Please stop editing my changes to Mr. Coleman's page. The page is riddled with inaccuracies, not the least of which is that he is NOT an educational consultant. Please ask before you undertake any further changes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.191.211.55 (talk) 17:46, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

I have reverted your edits because you removed referenced sections which might be considered vandalism. Please provide an edit summary and proper sources in your future contributions.--Kathovo talk 17:53, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

"Reference sections that might be considered vandalism?" No clue what you are talking about. All I did was update his page with his actual profile. Hold your horses there, chief.

Removal of refs is vandalism.--Kathovo talk 17:57, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

From the wiki page on Wikipedia Vandalism: "Even if misguided, willfully against consensus, or disruptive, any good-faith effort to improve the encyclopedia is not vandalism. Edit warring over content is not vandalism. Careful consideration may be required to differentiate between edits that are beneficial, detrimental but well-intentioned, and vandalizing. Mislabelling good-faith edits as vandalism can be considered harmful." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.191.211.55 (talk) 18:00, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

I've been reverting hundreds of suspected edits to Wikipedia over the past hour, how would I know that your removal of refs is done in good faith? Have you tried to use the article's talk page or the edit summary field to clarify your position?--Kathovo talk 18:09, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

Kalamazoo College

Hi Kathovo, You recently called my edit to the Kalamazoo College page "unconstructive". I disagree. As a member of the Kalamazoo College branding and marketing team, it is very important to us that the Kalamazoo College logo is represented accurately as an orange block letter K. The seal is not to the same as the logo, and is reserved for presidential documents. Please let us make the change to the logo.

Career since the failed nomination

On August 24, 2002 Bonnie Campbell was both charged and convicted of public intoxication for an incident in Davenport, IA.[7] As of December 16, 2012 she has still not paid the $250 fine.[8]


The above information is not correct or accurate. This case refers to person with the same name as Bonnie Campbell but that person's birthday is 6/12/1963, where as the birthday for Bonnie Campbell for which this Wikipedia page focuses on has a birthday of 4/9/1948. These are two different people.

I have tried deleting the information, but it keeps getting reposted.

hi

Probably for you the content I've changed is not positive, but I live in Portugal and yes, its true what I wrote, people need to know, about this corrupt bastards, in their wikipedias they are all clean and perfect, but they steal, they don't pay taxes, they gives jobs to each others, like mr Passos Coelho that received 120M€ and declared 0€ of taxes, I don't see any of that on his page... was wikipedia made to inform or just this a lame database with no real evidence? Miguel Relvas got a graduates degree on a Saturday with equivalencies at all classes, Passos Coelho left University at 30 something and after that he got automatically promoted to CEO at a Miguel Relvas company that went bankrupt, after this failure, his friend Miguel Relves gives him another job again has CEO. So don't come telling me about positive comments, because there is nothing positive about this shit. We are tired of this fucking mob, people need to know whats going on.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.244.78.34 (talk • contribs) 17:38, 31 March 2013

Regarding Adnan Aroor article

Hi

I did leave an explanation on why I removed that part of the article as it is misleading and I quote my reason:

QUOTE:[The comment was taken out of context from the Economist article. Whomever picked that specific line attempted to portray that most, if not all Syrian Sunnis share Al-Aroors opinion; which is untrue to say the least. Not all Syrian Sunni Muslims share Aroors views and neither does the Economist article suggest such thing, The article was merely suggesting that Aroor's fanbase/followers is growing, mainly amongst Syrian Sunnis. ]

Are you the person who added this part to the article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jumada (talk • contribs) 16:52, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

I'm not the one who added it but it is supported by the source and removing a referenced section just because you don't agree with it is considered vandalism.--Kathovo talk 16:55, 31 March 2013 (UTC)
It has nothing to do with agreeing or disagreeing with it, the sentence was TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT. Please dont put words in my mouth. Read my response and reply to it accordingly. Its like saying you can lie or distort the truth as long as you source it — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jumada (talk • contribs) 17:04, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

Qaradawi edit explained in edit summary

Hi I actually did explain the edit in my edit summary if you review. So it is puzzling why you undid the revision without reviewing the content or the edit summary? But I can certainly elaborate. Just because a large chunk is removed, does not call for its' restoration as it fails to comply with WP:RS and WP:BLP. The addition of the material stems from an anonymous edit on February 18th, which relies on primary sources to support a POV. Hence the removal and restoration back to the last reliably sourced version. Best regards, Minaret13 (talk) 21:38, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

Those parts seemed referenced by the Telegraph. Anyway I won't revert you since you apparently know what you're doing.--Kathovo talk 21:50, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for your reply. Actually I did keep the Telegraph content. However, the section added actually used is onislam.net, which is not a reliable source. But I have kept the Telegraph sourced content, though I had to restore the wording and content back to the NPOV version before the anon edit. Hence the confusion. I haven't changed anything as such. Just restored to reflect as per sources. Thanks for your vote of confidence. Appreciated. Best regards, — Preceding unsigned comment added by Minaret13 (talk • contribs) 22:00, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

The group of vandals turns Wikipedia into the battleground of WWII, claiming that Hitler was in fact a heterosexual Communist and betrayed the Nazi Germany. As true Nazi LGBT they correct Hitler's left and heterosexual errors to win WWII on behalf of Nazi Germany in English Wikipedia. The same vandal, mentioned by Solarra, and his group vandalized numerous times recognizing themselves the editors of English Wikipedia on behalf of non-existing Nazi Germany (WP:Fringe) nowadays. They distribute libels, provide the US Department of Homeland Security with false information and tell about an existing now organization Kazarla without any links to Nazis in such a way.

Hutaree

The section I deleted:

"Many videos posted on the Hutaree's website support several right-wing organizations, politicians, and news commentators. A former fiancee of Hutaree leader David Stone, has claimed that he was a "Ron Paul fanatic."[8]"

This section is unnecessary and attempts to correlate the actions of David Stone with the beliefs of Ron Paul. There simply is no equivalency, and any such suggestion is merely conjecture or opinion. The Daily KOS, which is the source cited, is a well known left-wing publication which has views that are diametrically opposed to the parties in question. The piece that is used as a citation is slanderous, biased, contains derogatory terms such as "teabaggers," and simply does not measure up to the metric of journalistic integrity or quality to merit citation. The biased and unprofessional nature of the article in question should automatically exclude it from mention.

Hitler was a fan of Beethoven, does that bear mention within the context of his political beliefs? No. Similarly, Ron Paul never advocated violent revolt in any of his speeches or writings. Hence it is a huge leap of logic to associate the two. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.249.209.9 (talk) 13:16, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

Friendly reminder

Just a note to remind you that the CSD guidelines indicate that you should give an article author a reasonable amount of time to develop their article before tagging it for speedy deletion.

Reverting on article Political ideologies in the united states

Check the links for information on the Pew Research tables. They're all broken. I left a note on the talk page before doing anything. The graphs are inconsistent with the tables as well. The whole page needs some cleaning.

Hi, blanking of seemingly referenced content will always show as vandalism to patrollers, best way to communicate with them is to leave an edit summary. In case of dead links, it is better to use this template first and raise the issue in the article's talk page, give some time to other users to look for other references.--Kathovo talk 02:21, 6 April 2013 (UTC)
K, should I just put dead link everywhere that Pew tables are referenced? The graphs are also inconsistent with the tables. The text is also inconsistent with the tables. I can't find a way to get a straight story out of it, and there are no references to be found. The appropriate action seems to be cleaning.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Rymmen (talk • contribs)

Autopatrolled granted

Hi Kathovo, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the autopatrolled right to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the patroller right, see Wikipedia:Autopatrolled. Feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you have any questions. Happy editing! ~ Amory (u • t • c) 15:39, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

I would like to note that although you have not created an article in a while, that's not a huge issue for me. I would ask you to go through and clean up some of the past ones, though; for example, Al-Hadar has no references and could use some formatting, Monastery of Beth Abe could use some references, and I think you may want to reword the first few words in the lede of Assyrians in France. Also, I think it poor taste to rate the quality of your own articles, but that might just be me. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 15:42, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

I didn't make up that information about the Nabataean language, I have given scholarly sources for my information, you can go and check it if you doubt my Credibility

besides, the previous article is poor, with no sources or citations, with no evidences or opinions of scholars, so I improved its quality and added trusted information taken from specialists


you said that I didn't bring any sources, but i have brought at least 3 sources for each claim


Thanks in advance....

Hi

I have been having a several months break from wikiediting, but now i'm more active - feel free to ask my assistance on previously collaborated topics and i might also ask your assistance related to Assyrian history. Though a little late, but Happy Kha b'Nissan!Greyshark09 (talk) 19:11, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi Greyshark09, glad you're back and thanks. I'm really editing on and off since some months. I have been collecting sources for the Assyrian people page but don't really know how to start with that page, which is btw really messed up imo. If you start on something just let me know and I'll pick up from where you started. --Kathovo talk 16:23, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

Reverting an article

I have waited for your response to our discussion about the Nabataean language issue, but you probably forgot to answer back.

I have brought my evidences for my claims, and waiting for your permission to revert the article to a form that satisfies all sides --Omar amross (talk) 12:11, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

Replied... Sorry I was a bit busy last week.--Kathovo talk 15:32, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

Regarding the Assyrian vs. Syriac question

Hello Rafy,

The difference between Syriacs and Assyrians is like that between the Arabs and Hebrews. I have noticed that you removed my update from September 22 regarding the differences between the Assyrians and the Syriacs. I am not sure what your angle is regarding this very serious fact. If you are Assyrian, then you're injecting your political agenda in an encyclopedia that is supposed to represent objective facts. I am Syriac. I am not an Assyrian. If you are not one, then at least allow for the creation of a separate article. Many Syriacs wonder we are always lumped up in this manner and reduced to a mere language rather than a people. I attempted to do that a long time ago, and it wasn't possible. This is a very politicized issue from the Assyrian side. If you allow to create a page regarding the Syriac Genocide, then, there will be no need to add all of these information, which are every bit factual and should not be considered disruptive. The reality behind it caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Syriac Christians because only two Christian groups demanded national rights, the Armenians and the Assyrians. The Syriacs never had such nationalistic aspirations nor are we Assyrians to be lumped up with the Assyrians.

Cheers,

Nour — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ndouchi (talk • contribs) 15:43, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

Please refer to WP:OR. If historians,[1][2] ethnologists,[3][4] and genocide scholars[5][6] lump the "Syriacs" and "Assyrians" together then Wikipedia should follow suit regardless of what you and I think.--Kathovo talk 16:48, 12 May 2013 (UTC)


Ndouchi

There is no different, Im Syriac and I consider myself Assyrian, so no there is no need to do different articles because we are all the same people --Suryoye85 (talk) 19:26, 13 July 2013 (UTC)

Removal of PROD tags

Re: this, anyone can remove a PROD tag, with or without a reason. However an AfD tag must stay in place until the discussion finishes. Legoktm (talk) 17:54, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

THanks for your notification. I will pay attention to this next time.--Kathovo talk 22:39, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

Futurama Season 5

You said 22 episodes that were released onto dvd "the collected epics". That dvd box set is the 4 movies not 22 episodes (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Futurama-The-Collected-Epics-DVD/dp/B002BWPU14). Season 5 is the previously mentioned 22 episodes. Why would a "season" contain movies? Also i believe you have alot of the episodes in the wrong seasons, i mean check the air dates which i believe are correct. Season 2 begins a week after season 1. does that make any sense to you? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.7.177.197 (talk) 02:05, 25 May 2013 (UTC)

You could have either put that comment in the talk page or just modified the article yourself.--Kathovo talk 22:42, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

Your Edits

Fordham University is a private Christian university. It may rank well, but the article written by them on the Pact doesn't even give much info. All it does is list the clauses. That cannot be seen as useful to the Dhimmi article itself.

I'm quoting a Mufti's fatwa, a long with a notable Islamic site. Please do not remove them.— Preceding unsigned comment added by TelusFielder (talk • contribs) 05:59, 8 June 2013

A very large number of western eduational institutes including Cambridge, Harvard and Fordham were founded by Christian clerics, this fact doesn't make them biased towards Muslims. Please don't revert next time, try to get concensus in talk pages first before making those controversial edits.--Kathovo talk 13:02, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

Iraqi governorate elections, 2013 (help!)

Hi Kathovo. Thanks for your comment on Greyshark's talk page. I really wouldn't be surprised if you were right and it was all an error. I went through the Basra results, tallying up the candidate votes to see if they ever alligned with the given number of votes, and the aggregate votes never matched the coalition votes, although they were often close(ish), e.g. the official result was 292,658 for the State of law Coalition, whereas the total number of votes given for SoL candidates was 272,868. I'm somewhat leaning towards this idea of it just being mistakes by IHEC, but what's strangest is that the error emerges even for independents, such as Ghanem Aziz Hanna of Basra, for whom the total number of candidate votes is 215, whilst the total number of coalition votes is 343. I mean the idea that IHEC could screw up just copying the same number is absolutely insane. I mean I'd understand if there was just one or two mistakes, or even a few, but the total number of candidate votes literally never matches the given coalition total.

So either you're right, and IHEC's incompetence seems to know no bounds, or there's votes being included from some other source, but I don't know where these votes could come from if that were the case. It could be from some kind of list vote that appears on the ballot, where say instead of chosing a candidate you just give a generic vote for the list (although this wouldn't explain the mistakes for independents). Alternatively maybe it might be army votes, as they voted earlier, but exactly why their votes aren't added to the candidate votes I also can't explain (they'd have to vote for the same candidates afterall). MrPenguin20 (talk) 17:34, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

The last 8 names in the Basra election results belong to individual candidates, still their "عدد الاصوات" (number of votes) is larger than "عدد اصوات المرشح" (number of votes for the candidate). While I can't but agree on the incompetence remark, I don't think the difference is an error.--Kathovo talk 12:53, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
Cool thanks. I'll use the official coalition total. MrPenguin20 (talk) 15:34, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

Please be more careful using twinkle as you did here, things like that should not be happening. Thanks Prabash.Akmeemana 18:17, 20 June 2013 (UTC)
