Response
I have responded to your question regarding a third opinion. My answer can be found here. --User:Krator (t c)
Pol Pot "Vandalism"?
Excuse me, but I would like to know why you have labelled the inclusion of Kmae language to the Pol Pot page as "vandalism". It is widely accepted that a person's name in his native language may be included at the beginning of a page. Please explain your bizarre action. -Ionius Mundus 20:32, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
- Okay. Thank you. -Ionius Mundus 21:03, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
Countries visited
Hi Roland. I really must question your list of countries visited. Palestine is clearly not a country, it is part of Greater Israel. Could you please correct this in your profile? --EelJuice 22:54, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
- Don't be silly. Palestine is a country, I have many friends who live there, I have visited there at their invitation, and I have no intention of censoring my user page to meet your political agenda. RolandR 23:10, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

- I have just noticed that the editor who I originally reported, Andyvphil, was also blocked for 72 hours at the same time, as was the second editor who he was constantly reverting, Nishidani. However, Andyvphil's appeal against blocking has been accepted, but mine and Nishidani's have been ignored. It seems a misuse of admin tools to block two editors who object to the disruptive behaviour of a third, who has been pardoned. RolandR 18:42, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
Popping in
Just to say hello. I noticed your latest edits to Israeli apartheid and wanted to thank you for locating that quote and information. It's very interesting and I hadn't ever read it before. Will definitiely pass it on to a friend of mine doing research on the role of the JNF in land expropriation. Aah, my favourite moments in Wikipedia; when I learn something. :) Cheers. Tiamut 21:48, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
- I haven't had a chance to get Davis' books. It's hard to find English copies of such work in Nazareth. Thanks for the references though. I will try to get a friend from North America to bring one on their next trip into town. Tiamut 11:20, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
- I tried contacting him by email once to discuss housing issues here, but he did not return my note. I guess he's quite busy or else I had the wrong address. Do you know how I might get in touch with him? Tiamut 15:06, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
- Hey, thanks for pointing that out. I will correct now. In the future however, if you do find such a mistake on my user page, I grant you, RolandR, carte blanche access to make corrections as needed. :) Thanks again. Tiamut 16:18, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks, I missed the bracket. Tiamut 17:27, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
- I do, though rather sporadically and infrequently. I'll be sure to take a look though. Thanks. Tiamut 19:29, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Excuse me? Why are you accusing me and Chesdovi of vandalism? The information (both parts) is properly sourced. It is you who are putting back the patently false figure of 300+ million Arab citizens of Israel. What is the point of that? Please cease and desist. Hertz1888 (talk) 21:36, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
- If the infobox doesn't match the article's title, and someone (two someones) missed that, is no justification to cry "vandalism", nor does it justify your removal of a properly sourced subsection elsewhere on the page. One assumes the top infobox corresponds to the article's subject. If not, it functions as a trap that can mislead any reader. In the interest of clarity, it needs to be changed, not warred over. Hertz1888 (talk) 22:37, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
- I am not quite sure why the “Arabs” infobox appears on the Arab citizens of Israel page. This page is specifically on Arabs of Israel and the infobox should reflect this, as it does in Arab Brazilian, Arab American, Arabic-speaking Christians. To do otherwise is in my mind quite misleading. At first glance I thought there were 300 million Arabs in Israel! As the page itself is not about Arabs per-se, I will change the title of the box accordingly. The image will also have to go as 1905 pre-dates the modern State of Israel which was re-established in 1948. Best, Chesdovi (talk) 22:43, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
Please see the above link as I have requested arbitration for a dispute that you are involved in. Feel free to contribute there. Regards, Ryan Postlethwaite 17:09, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
Disambiguation
I wish you had addressed my specific point about disambiguation before reverting me on Jacob Israël de Haan. Wikipedia:Hatnote deals specifically with the issue of hatnotes, and WP:NAMB (on the same page) supports my view that this article should have no hatnote whatsoever. There should definitely not be a link back to a disambiguation page. I have left the note but changed it into a "not to be confused with" link to Jacob de Haan, however much I think this is not actually in keeping with policy. JFW | T@lk 23:08, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
- I would suggest Jacob de Haan is turned into a disambiguation page. JFW | T@lk 23:19, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
An Arbitration case involving you has been opened, and is located here. Please add any evidence you may wish the Arbitrators to consider to the evidence sub-page, Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Palestine-Israel articles/Evidence. Please submit your evidence within one week, if possible. You may also contribute to the case on the workshop sub-page, Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Palestine-Israel articles/Workshop.
On behalf of the Arbitration Committee, — Rlevse • Talk • 22:11, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
RolandR, not sure we've ever corresponded, just wanted to thank you very much for adding to the Wikipedia:WikiProject Israel Palestine Collaboration/I-P editing battleground statistics. Thanks for taking the time. All the best, HG | Talk 05:51, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
- Dear Roland, thanks again for the data. I just wrote an attempted clarification of guidelines for the battleground stats. "Cite only Requests/Reports made within WP Noticeboards (and the like) and their explicit, official outcomes/findings. Do not cite claims made on Talk pages or your own interpretation of disputes or user conduct." With this in mind, I'd appreciate your looking again at your input on BLP and libel violations. Please add brief footnotes to show how such claims of violations have moved through official WP channels (highest level/outcome only is needed). Thanks muchly. HG | Talk 12:13, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
