Edited vesion of Battle of Boyra

You inserted citation needed links to an articel about the battle of Boyra.

Flt Lt. Hakimullah's flight did not engage Sikhand, I am not aware whether he claimed him as a kill. PAF definitely treats this as an air-to-air victory for Hakimullah. Visit PAF archives for this, as this is not topic of discussion and only trivia. I have offered as support the contents of a web-page operated by a former Comssioned Officer of PAF, which I believe os satisfactory for the topic. The Indian Airforce awarded AVSM to Wg. Cdr Sikhand, recorded in the IAF's gallantry and awards web-page, again this is not the topic's object of information. Air support for Pak Army in the battle of Boyra came in the second day, this is a known fact, for the reference of which you have to go through the archives of the Indian and Pak Govts, and is as such not citable. However, I am sure newspaper articles of the time would suffice. Please add this if you're aware of this, but as this is not a court trial, not every fact is being referenced. Chaudhury claimed a Gnat shot down, this was claimed by PAF. If you read the description of the battle, in the article, you will realise that the engagement was over in a matter of minutes and the downed Pak Pilots did not have scope to engage in Dogfights, only Chaudhury did, and he was not downed. This does not need seem to be in need of a citation as this is a known fact. 14 sabres were captured by the Indian Army when Dhaka surrendered, I am not sure why you want a citation for this, but official web-sites of the BAF and IAF will corroborate this.

The point of the article was to offer insight into the battle and not build a court-case for a trial. I have therefore included trivia and accepted and known facts without citation

If you have the references ..why don't you just put them in then? I did't ask for that many. --maxrspct in the mud 15:47, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Martha Stewart

You wrote: "Welcome to Wikipedia. Please familiarise yourself with it (Wikipedia:Tutorial, Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines) . What you have been writing is a plain, straight-forward appeal on behalf of celebrity criminal Martha Stewart. It is not my job to guide newbies in assimilating POV and this sort of stuff into articles...If you really want to give her version of events - present one side of the case and then source it from source. Don't speculate or do original research. This is not a place to dispute the courts findings unless they are seriously questioned by notable professionals, law people and academics - go onto a message board for that. Don't present it as fact unless it is. Whether its from supporters of M.Stewart, memorial builders, conspiracy theorists, gurning fans of Natalia Vodianova or anything else - unsourced POV appeals and waffle get deleted - policy and practice. Good luck -- max rspct leave a message 01:28, 21 April 2006 (UTC)"

It is not unheard of in the history of jurisprudence for a court to reach an unjust finding. Witness, for example, the recent spate of exonerations prompted by the Innocence Project. Consequently, while the justice system does, and I suppose must, assume that someone found guilty by a court is in fact guilty, it is not reasonable for the rest of us to make that assumption; rather, it is quite reasonable and proper for us to reserve judgment. The points I made about Stewart's trial were factual, and not speculative. That I didn't state evidence supporting her conviction, does not mean I deny that evidence; it merely reflects that fact that such evidence is already attested and well publicized. Thus my statement was not "a plain, straight-forward appeal on behalf of celebrity criminal Martha Stewart" but rather an effort to balance the impression created by the court's finding, by stating certain facts. - Palmleaf

Hogeye evading ban (again)

Ever since anarchism had the semi-protect removed, hogeye started editing with IPs (probably open proxies) again. User:64.159.81.81 is the one I'm dealing with most right now. Others include User:217.160.230.161, User:Beeboe and User:FreeJohnG, as well as a few IP's that have already been blocked. I suggest semi-protecting anarchism again, and blocking all the socks. Also, keep an eye on American individualist anarchism, which is a POV fork created by one of the Hogeye socks a while ago. It currently redirects to Individualist anarchism in the United States, but hogeye readded their POV fork after I reverted it back to the redirect (calling me an asshole in their edit summary no less). Thanks. The Ungovernable Force 02:02, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Bakunin

I don't have any objection to your short version of the commentary on Bakunin's anti-semitism. In fact, I just tried to add a reference to the Dreyfus Affair as a turning point for European intellectuals and radicals on the whole issue of anti-semitism. As I indicated in my earlier post, I think the longer versions of the Bakunin anti-semitism commentary give undue prominence to his anti-semitic writings, and the quotes people keep using are not properly referenced, so it is not possible to independently verify them. There are shorter and verifiable quotes that show Bakunin's anti-semitism and anti-Germanism (for example, his denunciation of Marx as "a German and a Jew"). Robgraham 16:35, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Chevaline

I'm not really surpised that you are considering leaving Wiki due to harrassment if you mess with others carefully crafted work in such an apparently POV manner. Knowing that Chevaline is still politically contentious especially among the disaffected left-overs of the old hard Left I was especially careful in crafting this piece to avoid POV. There are numerous references cited some of which do indeed substantiate the text that you have tagged without doing your research. These include numerous Civil Service discussion papers for Ministers now in the public domain at the Public Record Office, and in the papers from the recent Royal Aeronautical Society symposium cited. And you might also be old enough as I am to remember the extensive press coverage of Comrade Khuschev's threats to obliterate the UK at the time of Suez. If you want to amuse yourself by playing silly, sad, old leftie games then do it without destroying others work. Please remove your tag. Brian.Burnell 12:29, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Please do not leave pathetic, and stroppy personal attacks on my talkpage like that. That the USSR threatened to attack the UK alone with nukes (twice?) is a big claim. No I don't spend that much of my own time digging in in the PRO. If you have a source, SOURCE IT! POV? i just put a tag there. Please mind Wikipedia:No personal attacks and Wikipedia:Civility. Where source? source it! --maxrspct in the mud 12:52, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Don't start playing your violin at me! Maybe YOU should get thicker skin. For that claim in the article you must show the EXACT records as source.. not just a footnote. You did make personal attacks regarding my politcal persuasions and the note at the top of my page. I may take it off as it obviously attracts personal attacking from individuals who are looking to have ago at someone/something. --maxrspct in the mud 14:53, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Dangers of Angostura Bitters

You wrote:

I seem to recall that it is lethal to drink this type of bitters unadulterated/from the bottle. I may well be wrong , can anyone enlighten? -max rspct 13:43, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

I gather that is just nonsense: there are no toxins there, it is just a matter of taste. If you can tolerate such a pungent bitter flavor and the high alcoholic content, then you can drink it. I did it as a kid (Yeeeeccch, never again!!!), and that was 45 years ago! But then, who would do that, and why? The keen flavors and subtle scents of Amargo de Angostura are enjoyed most as much as the benefits of Homeopatic medicines are reaped best: in small, minute quantities.

Leonard Peltier Revert

G'Morning Max, I saw where you recently made a revert to the Leonard Peltier article, specifically to the opening paragraph. There had been a good bit of discussion, and agreement, concerning the intro on discussion page. Your revert returned the paragraph to the version which was essentially the cause of the debate, not the version upon which a consensus was reached. I am not trying to pick a fight, but I am curious what your reasoning was since you didn't leave a comment. Cheers! Cafe Irlandais 14:28, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

I disagree will your interpretion of the situation. The page is very much under debate and removing that tag and the other info isn't really proactive. --maxrspct in the mud 14:53, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

I believe we may be discussing two different "situations". I am referring to a very narrow and well defined one, specifically the structure and writing of the opening paragraph and the debate surrounding what makes a good opening paragraph, not the whole article nor the status of the debate regarding the larger issues of the page. Based on your comment I can see that I failed to adequately delineate between the two, and for that I apologize.

The purpose of the edits to the introductory paragraph was to provide a concise overview that touches only briefly on the salient points that should properly be discussed in greater detail later in the article. That is the consensus to which I referred to my previous comment and why some info was removed from the intro.

Is the page very much under debate? Sure it is, and the tag, as such, probably belongs. But that type of thing is not something that I try to involve myself in. Besides, facts properly sourced and neutrally presented tend to resolve those issues. Again, sorry for any confusion that I caused. Sláinte! Cafe Irlandais 22:01, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Boston Tea Party

Howdy, I noticed that you and I seem to post in one or two articles dealing with progressive issues in political science/sociology. There's currently a debate beginning in Boston Tea Party as to whether the article should include the category [1]. It meets definitions set in the articles Terrorism and Definition of terrorism, however, there are several self-proclaimed patriots who watch BTP who refuse to recognise the fact. The simple criteria for terrorism generally seem to be intimidation or destruction of property in order to change public policy or public opinion while a state of war has not yet been declared. Some users would rather use recent acts of terrorism as a yardstick, rather than using a firm definition, and hence lose their ability to discuss matters calmly. Would you be able to pop in to the Talk page and join in the discussion? Thanks much, samwaltz 05:39, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Chevaline2.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Chevaline2.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}. If you have not already done so, please also include the source of the image. In many cases this will be the website where you found it.

Please specify the copyright information and source on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Udsieq 16:43, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

He is not considered to be an anarchist. Go order someone else about mr evangelical original researcher - maxrspct ping me 22:43, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Of course he's considered to be an anarchist. Maybe not by you, but by almost all scholars. I just added a bunch of sources. Need more? There are tons more. By the way, you added Goodwin as a source for anarcho-capitalism being individualist anarchism (though apparently you thought you were putting her a source saying something else). Goodman doesn't explicitly specify that it's an individualist form of anarchism. She just say's a form of anarchism: "Although many anarchists today still subscribe to the values of Bakunin and Kropotkin, there are two new, divergent currents of anarchist thinking. One is anarcho-capitalism, a form of libertarian anarchism which demands that the state should be abolished and that private individuals and firms should control social and economic affairs." page 137Anarcho-capitalism 16:13, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

No.. either you have changed the wording or there are big differences in editions. It says right-wing libertarianism.. not libertarian anarchism. Read the last paragraph on that in her book. -- maxrspct ping me 23:21, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

That is an accurate quote above. She does say it's right libertarianism as well. There are two wings of libertarian anarchism, left libertarianism and right libertarianism. She is not saying that it's not anarchism. It is a right libertarian anarchism. By the way you shouldn't falsify the other sources. Do not claim that other sources say something they don't.

Thanks very much - i've nominated it for 'Did you know' -- maxrspct ping me 20:01, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

On 6 July, 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Operation Salaam, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Verklempts style and possible sockpuppetry

Go to the. Talk:Ward Churchill misconduct issues‎; page and read about a user named Getaway, he is a convicted sock puppet with astounding similarities in style and attitude to USER VERKLEMPT . My goal is to help bring an end to the disruption and have the Ward Churchill reopened and or protected from those who find consensus rehabilitating. Feel free to join in if you like. Albion moonlight 18:28, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

This is very funny. You are looking for allies wherever you can find them, aren't you Albion moonlight. So far your baseless allegations have gotten you no where. As far as I can tell all of the admins that you have approached for assistance have summarily rejected your outrageous and unsubstantiated claims. I'm going to continue to watch and work on ALL of the Ward Churchill articles and you are not going to be sucessful in your declared objective of silencing me.--Getaway 13:31, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Looking for allies is called seeking consensus. I have only contacted 1 admin. so far. He is the one that that confirmed that you have in fact used sockpuppets in the past. I have noticed that you have stopped being disruptive on those 2 pages. Thanks for that and please keep up the good work. If you can manage to do that there will be no need for anyone to deal with your disruption. I will respect Max's talks page by not having any further conversation with you on his page. Thanks again for for your cooperation. Albion moonlight 18:15, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

You sound as if I changed my behavior because of you. No are absolutely wrong. I have not changed anything. I'm still waiting for you to find an admin who will follow up on your wild, baseless allegations. Let me make clear that it is against Wikipedia policy for you to engage in threats like you have on this particular talk page. I ask for you to stop your threats. I have changed anything because of you and I never will.--Getaway 19:24, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

niaaaaa!! Civility Ming

Groovy. I'm already involved with the same pages as all. Albion, who's the admin? what other names/socks have been used? or do you want to wait to put it on a page?. -- maxrspct ping me 18:40, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

-Woohookitty is the name of the admin. The truth is out there. Oh yeah and heres a copy of my original communication with woohookitty his comment to me is on my talk page.

I think user Getaway has yet another sock or meat puppet. Verklempt is the name and disruption is the game he seem's to love to play. The similarities between the 2 is remarkable. This is not an official request for administrative intervention. It is a vocalized sigh of relief upon discovering that my suspicions are probably correct. I am working on gaining consensus amongst the editors of the Ward Churchill pages. If and when I call for a vote of some kind, (I am a newbie of sorts) I will use the normal channels to report suspected sock puppetry . But for now I am just testing the waters ,,,, Albion moonlight 08:49, 10 July 2007 (UTC) Albion moonlight 20:44, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Hello Max,

I a French man, living in Toulouse, FRANCE. I have a passion for Arabic language, which I am learning. And to help me and help others in order to learn vocabulary, I have created a web site. I tried to make a link towards this site in "Arabic Language", but it was removed. And I don't understand why. So I made changes, but now I can't edit external link. I don't want to make spamming or advertisement, just to share my work :

It's exceedingly poor manners to request comment and then completely disregard it just because the comments you requested disagree with you. THF 21:40, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

You posted an RFC, I responded to the RFC on the talk page, consensus agreed with me, and then you reverted my edits without explanation, going back to edit-warring despite the fact that every editor to look at the issue disagrees with you. THF 21:56, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

your question

My page was to tell people what my interests are, for better understanding in communications. In 4 wikipedia years I came to a conclusion that smart people don't really need it, while idiots don't care. After dealing with quite a few real jerks in the upper echelons of wikipedia strongarms I also decided that an appeal to any respect based on past contribs is fundamentally wrong.

Reference tags

I always appreciate your efforts at keeping the Ward Churchill article less libelous. One thing though: if you add content with references, could you please use the <ref>Cite</ref> style for consistency. It's jarring to have inline links intermixed with footnote references. Actually, I wish the Mediawiki software somehow handled it automatically, but for now it's a matter of editor attention. LotLE×talk 19:26, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Obstination, sir!

In the Lenin article you are just behaving obstinately. And unfairly. I can prove what I say in a very simple way. You insist that Richard Pipes cites selectively a Lenin letter to the Politburo. That's false. Richard Pipes transcribes the whole letter! And the whole letter is a totalitarian monstrosity...! JBarreto 22:32, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
