List of Military Operations of the Iraq War

Although I made many attempts to make this page into a valid, useful article due to the constant vandalism of this page by you I am no longer going to update it. I am tired of your constant insults and temperment towards my efforts of making this a useful article. Since you have taken an ownership attitude towards the Iraq War related articles I am no longer going to waste my time updating them.

Fair use rationale for Image:Ethiopian_tank_somalia.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Ethiopian_tank_somalia.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation 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. — pd_THOR ^{| =/\=} | 13:55, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

rationale is present at the image. --TheFEARgod (Ч) 13:57, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

But ... why is this image needed? It's only used in three articles: in T-55 there are many free-use images available performing the same function (WP:NFCC#1), and in Military of Ethiopia and War in Somalia (2006–present) it's only decorating the article (WP:NFCC#8). — pd_THOR ^{| =/\=} | 14:10, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

I removed it from most of the articles as I agree with you on that. I cannot find it in the T-55 article (??). I suggest keeping it on the war in somalia article as only a free map is present. --TheFEARgod (Ч) 14:21, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

U pravu si bolje bi bilo da se stavi broj WHO od 151,000 mrtvih Iracana. I okej neka napadi na dzamije ostanu razdvojeni, ali ne mogu da se slozim sa izbacivanjem Mareza, Nasirije i Karbale i campaignbox mozda nisu teroristicki napadi, slazem se legitimni napadi protiv okupatora su, ali jesu veliki bombaski napadi na znacajne mete, a po nekima ti koji su ih izveli su teroristi. Ali pre po meni bi trebao da se promeni naziv campaignboxa a ne da se izbace ovi napadi. O cemu pricam, pre bi trebalo da se promeni naziv campaignbox-a iz veliki teroristicki napadi u Iraku u veliki bombaski napadi Irackog rata, jer po Amerikancima svi gerilci u Iraku su teroristi, dok ih vecina arapskog sveta smatra borcima za slobodu, trenutna kako je ne zvuci mi previse neutralno sa moje tacke gledista, a Vikipedija bi trebala da bude neutralna. A ako cemo vec da izbacujemo napade na vojne mete iz box-a onda bi smo trebali da izbacimo napade u Basri jer su tu napali policijsku akademiju i stanice, i jos nekoliko bi trebalo da se izbaci. Zato cuj, ostavicu napade u Karbali razdvojeno, ali vraticu cu Nasiriju i Marez, pa da prodebatujemo u vezi promene naziva box-a.

1998-present persecution of Serbs and other non-Albanians in Kosovo

Hello to you FearGod. I see that you created this article less than two weeks ago and so far it has gone completely unchallenged. Indeed, with the sources which you have placed there, one can hardly argue with it. They even come from sources which have been known to be anti-Serb, in other words: if every source in the world is unrelyable - because its authors may have political motives - then the truth must surely lie somewhere between the contrasting stories given, suffice it to say that if you could irrefutably prove the facts, then that page could be expanded with its numbers increased. Never the less, the actual purpose I am sending you this message is to ask if you would have any problems with my proposed changes to the article. Speaking as a first generation descendant to a family of diasporans from the old country, I've witnessed these events from inside and outside the region; I know that Serbians have been heavily misrepresented in the western media, and by the governments in those lands. I have on many occasions in the past made edits so as to erase POV statements in their favour, but this has led to oposition-insired-editors to accuse me of "softening the reality". Either way, I insist on objectivitity, I prefer this term to neutrality since one cannot philosophicly speaking be neutral in conflict, he is either with the Red Ants or the Black Ants, or he stays out, but there is no inbetween. Anyhow, I feel that this article is a tiny bit hostile to the militant wing of the pro-independence lobby in Kosovo. First of all, the title metions the term non-Albanian. I have always stepped in to alter the term "crimes by Serbs against non-Serbs" and I feel that this would be appropriate here. In truth, the victims of the rebadged KLA are mostly Serb, and there are also other nationalities who bare the brunt; but there are also Albanians who are victims. How do we explain this? The extreme Albanians persecute all who are not extreme Albanian? This would mean that Serbs would not need to be in the title, just failing to be Albanian would be enough to place them on the "to be removed" list, leaving only a refferendum for ethnic Albanians to tick in the box - "Are you with us?" or "Are ou without us?" - but the reality is not like that. The KLA is an organisation, its victims are simply people opposed to the goals of the organisation. It so happens that whilst the majority of Serbs and other non-Serbs (who are not Albanian either) are against these goals, they are in the firing line. But the KLA have employed Serbs and non-Albanians; this means that as an organisation, they are not totally hostile to the nationality itself. Serbs would be able to live and contribute to an Albanian-run Kosovo in just the same way that: there was a certain Albanian Prime Minister in Yugoslavia in the 1980s; the leader of Milosevic's SPS branch in Bujanovac was Albanian before opponents killed him; and thousands of Albanians always lived peacefully throughout Serbia "outside of their area of interest." But at the same time, the events do warrant a page on Wikipedia. So I suggest moving the page, to something like "Post-1998 KLA-Perpetrated Atrocities in Kosovo". Its victims are its victims, whoever they are. I feel that we can also make some changes on the page itself to be both non-POV and still delivering the same message. We'll get onto that later. But for now, can you tell me one thing: Klecka. How much truth is there in the cremation of 22 Serbs? I cannot open the link on No.6, computer problem. But I have read about it in the past (HRW reports) which failed to confirm this claim. Naturally, it does not mean that it never happened. Once something is alleged like that, you can never disprove it, it is the negative. If a government decides to create computer files with the names and addresses of people who never existed. How does one prove this? Anyhow, I have never elliminated the posibility. Is there any other positive evidence about the Klecka killings? You know how there are heavy Serbian arguments against the number of Muslims killed in Srebrenica, and the whole "Racak" incident, you do have Albanian responces to Klecka too. I have to be fair FearGod. Please write back to me so we can reach a mutual agreement about the page. Trust me, it will be better for you when more than one editor has contributed to it. Evlekis (talk) 13:41, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Obviously, when people of one ethnicity in conflict with another are killed by its rival, the emphasis is on that person being "the other nationality". In truth, all organisations - government and rebel - have their intelligence sources. If the attack was random by an individual in unifom (ie. they are ethnic Serbs so I will kill them), then yes, that is the reason. But when the instructions to kill these people come from the top, then there must be a reason. And that reason cannot be "because of their ethnicity", why else would they have Serbs as informants or employees! But the same is of Serbs, accused of killing and deporting people for being Albanian, and yet having Albanians on board...a two-way enterprise. Evlekis (talk) 14:03, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Well all right, I'll grant you that - perhaps the UCK have not employed Serbs as such, but the Croatian and Muslim armies did, as did Serbs employ the others: in various parts of the whole service. I suppose the first example you mentioned was an isolated attack, I doubt that those orders would have come from very high up. It's just that whoever commited hose atrocities will never serve any form of justice: they are not important enough for war crimes hearings and their own superiors will not discipline them. But think about this: do you like it when it is said that Sebs killed people just for being Muslim or Albanian? I certainly don't. Evlekis (talk) 17:53, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Dimona attack

What was your reason for your move of the article Dimona attack to 2008 Dimona bombing? Maybe the renaming of "attack" to "bombing" made sense, but why should the year (2008) be in the name? Has there occurred any previous suicide bombings in this city? /Slarre (talk) 15:54, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

not maybe, the change attack -to- bombing made full sense as there are no articles about suicide bombings with "attack" in the title. Second, we should keep the name exact. Maybe Dimona bombing could refer to an event of the Sinai and Palestine Campaign --TheFEARgod (Ч) 16:06, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

"there are no articles about suicide bombings with "attack" in the title".

Wrong: 2008 Kabul Serena Hotel attack, 2002 Mombasa attacks, 2002 fidayeen attacks on Raghunath temple, 2001 attack on Jammu and Kashmir legislative assembly, Rijeka terror attack. /Slarre (talk) 17:07, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Vandalism.

Hello.

I categorize any kind of unexplained or poorly explained edits that include removal of parts of the article as vandalism. Your edit was just that. All you did was classify the fact about the subject of the article as irrelevant without backing it up in anyway.

Speedy deletion of Kosovo (UNMIK)

A tag has been placed on Kosovo (UNMIK), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent. If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Kosovo (UNMIK)

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Kosovo (UNMIK), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Kosovo (UNMIK).

Renaming Operation Harekate Yolo

Is this the right thing to do? I have not seen any notices from NATO or from the US Department of Defense that says all operation names must be in English. Further, in the Norwegian press (one of the main participants), it is called Harekate Yolo, not the English or Norwegian translation. Chwyatt (talk) 17:26, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Kosovo (UNMIK)

I have nominated Kosovo (UNMIK), an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kosovo (UNMIK). Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Using the preview button

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. In the future, it is recommended that you use the preview button before you save; this helps you find any errors you have made, and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history. Thank you. Stifle (talk) 14:40, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

I am referring to this series of edits to Kosovo (UNMIK). Stifle (talk) 14:49, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

OK, no reasons for that--TheFEARgod (Ч) 14:51, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Nahr al Bared

Thanks for your note about my photos from there. I forgot my digital camera so I had to use a temporary one time usage. I stood on a house and videotaped the bombings with my hi8 camcorder as well. --Eternalsleeper (talk) 16:50, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Kosovo userbox

I will just tell you to remove a controversial userbox in your userspace which tells independence of Kosovo is criminal. It is an offensive userbox and remove it. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 14:43, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

I am removing the userbox from your userpace. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 14:46, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

No controversy. That fact is felt by a good part of the world aside by me. Every person has a right to say that a political move is criminal--TheFEARgod (Ч) 15:01, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

But you do not have the right to say it on your user page. It's a clear violation of WP:USER, which disallows polemic userboxes. Furthermore, the fact that you are stating it as fact, instead of as opinion, removes the justification for userboxes in the first place (stating biases). I have removed the userbox. Do not readd it again. ⇒SWATJester ^{Son of the Defender} 21:09, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Much better thanks. ⇒SWATJester ^{Son of the Defender} 04:10, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

apostrophe use

Hello, I have no comment about the content of your userbox, but I hope you don't mind if I make a polite suggestion? "This user knows that Kosovo and Metohija is a part of Serbia and that it's declaration of independence is criminal." should be "This user knows that Kosovo and Metohija is a part of Serbia and that its declaration of independence is criminal."

• it's = it is
• its = belongs to

The map

Hello. Good question. I have absolutely no idea what that map is. It seems to conform to nothing whatsoever; Kosovo as in its present conventional shape is highlighted and outlined. The other outlined regions seem to be the Sandžak region of Serbia only, and the Preševo Valley extended to the Bulgarian border. Some form of neat northern frontier rises as if to enclose regions outside the ones mentioned, almost as if to suck Leskovac and Užice into it. It clearly does not concentrate on anything outside of Serbia, and even if we were to assume that this is some Pan-Islamic vision of a future state, the outer nothern and eastern regions are predominantly Serbian populated with little to no Muslims. Sorry Fear God, I am as clueless as you. Where did you stumble across that image? Evlekis (talk) 12:51, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

I can't make any sense of that article. It seems to be created by some individual, but I don't speak Albanian; I know very few words and simple phrases. Speaking of which, tell me, how good is your knowledge on Kosovo's history? Take the current borders, are they the boundries of what Kosovo is traditionally? Or were they simply created by the Communists in 1945 so as to outline a specific region where Albanians dominate? If not, when was this outline first created? I ask because looking at the Vilayet of Kosovo, its borders chopped and changed. And do you know where I can find demographic accounts of that vilayet? I've been searching for 24 hours. I've read in two places that Serbs only made up 25% of Kosovo when they took it in 1912, but is that the Ottoman Vilayet, or just this region?? I have a hard job to believe that Albanians could have made 75% of a region which had Skopje as its capital and sliced into modern-day Herzegovina covering Novi Pazar, a town which if not Serbian, then Slavic certainly for more than 90%. It's another one of those anti-Serb propaganda articles by that imbecile Noal Malcolm which has got me searching for this, hence some of my edits these past 24 hours. I'll be grateful if you can tell me anything. Evlekis (talk) 17:25, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Your thoughts on including Turkey v PKK on the Iraq war page

Feargod, just wondering if you'd like to discuss (here)including casualty numbers from the Turkey v PKK conflict on the Iraq war article. Your help would be appreciated. Thanks. Publicus 21:58, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Leaving Wikipedia B'Cause of you

I just wanted to let you know that after much consideration I am no longer going to edit wikipedia. I largely came to this decision because of you. Everytime I tried to make a meaningful edit you undid it or deleted it and then insulted me. I hope you have planty of time because if you keep this up you will be the only one left editing all these pages.--Langloisrg (talk) 22:30, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Nope knowone took my account I stopped editing 6 months ago because I got tired of you leaving comments like that.--Langloisrg (talk) 22:38, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Re:combatants

Um, first of all that rule has changed (did you even look at the infobox?) and second the purpose of the infobox is to list the country and/or organization who particpated or sent troops in a conflict regardless if they fired a shot or not.Storm05 (talk) 14:06, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Even with that defination, the purpose of the infobox for what country and/or organization or whomever participated in a conflict (ie sent troops, and yes im repeating myself because theres no other way to explain it), if you still disagree brining up at the Military history wikiproject.

FYI

Just wanted to know whether you're aware of the planned invasion of the rebellious Comoran island of Anjouan by the African Union? Just asking because I'd expect you to be the first one to be able to write a well-structurised article on the issue when it happens, something like 2008 African Union invasion of Anjouan or something like that... —Nightstallion 12:41, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Mh, I'd think 2008 invasion of Anjouan would be better, but we can always discuss this when it happens -- which seems to be around mid-March. —Nightstallion 14:01, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Another good source on the backgroud -- apparently, the colonel will be tried for war crimes and crimes against humanity once apprehended! —Nightstallion 10:20, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Bacar claims he's willing to negotiate. —Nightstallion 19:10, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Comoros reject that --TheFEARgod (Ч) 14:57, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Interesting. So they'll invade in the next few days, then? —Nightstallion 15:46, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

That's what all reports indicate, yes.--TheFEARgod (Ч) 16:11, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

nods —Nightstallion 19:07, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

what nods means, sorry? --TheFEARgod (Ч) 00:27, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

"nods" = "*nods*" = "I am nodding, thus acknowledging agreement or acceptance of facts" —Nightstallion 11:41, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

thanks --TheFEARgod (Ч) 11:44, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Another thing we might need an article on: 2008 Tibetan monk protests? Compare this BBC article... —Nightstallion 15:46, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

sorry, not interested right now.--TheFEARgod (Ч) 16:11, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Fair enough -- if it turns out this will go on longer, I'll write up a short stub. —Nightstallion 19:07, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

 Done in face of new developments --TheFEARgod (Ч) 11:57, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Article on Cameroon

Hi! I think we need an article on the 2008 Cameroonian anti-government protests, see this link -- could you write it? ;) —Nightstallion 22:19, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

 Done, it needs to be linked in other articles, though. --TheFEARgod (Ч) 22:39, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Great, thanks! I'll try to get it mentioned somewhere important. —Nightstallion 23:41, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

For example in the article 2008 ;) --TheFEARgod (Ч) 23:42, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

1959 Tibetan uprising

I noticed you expand tagged this article- I've added some history from the Tibetan Government in Exile's account, but I was wondering what else you think might belong in the article. --Clay Collier (talk) 08:38, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Kosovo & Judges

...care to report to Wiki on that crisis? --PaxEquilibrium (talk) 19:31, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

well, something is here, however the article is ugly and has an ugly name --TheFEARgod (Ч) 19:44, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Improved the name. —Nightstallion 23:46, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
