My Lai

You added a "merge" tag to My Lai Massacre, and added a comment on Talk:My Lai saying that you thought that My Lai should have its own article. In fact, it does--you can find it at My Lai, Vietnam (notice at the top of My Lai Massacre there's a note directing people to go there if they want info about the village itself. If you have sourced information that could improve that article, you should add it there. Did you actually mean to propose taking all of the info about the Massacre and moving it into My Lai, Vietnam? Qwyrxian (talk) 02:48, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

I clicked on the link at the top of the page which said something like someone has proposed merging the my lai article with an article about the village and I disagreed with that as it should have its own page..I know it has its own page as that is the page I was on with the link at the top.Owain the 1st (talk) 06:02, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

Pity the Nation

If you really think that a person can feasibly work with a batch of over 1,000 uncategorized articles in AWB by manually categorizing each and every one individually, instead of by adding {{uncat}} tags, then by all means, you're more than welcome to try it sometime.

Owain, I feel your frustration on this point, but Bearcat is right. As of this writing there are 5,768 articles that are marked as uncategorized. If you would like to help out with this rather large backlog you can go to Category:Uncategorized pages and click on "Random page in this category." It is indeed not rocket science, there's just an awful lot of it that needs doing. Beeblebrox (talk) 16:40, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

Palestine - Israel articles topic warning

As a result of an arbitration case, the Arbitration Committee has acknowledged long-term and persistent problems in the editing of articles related to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, broadly understood. As a result, the Committee has enacted broad editing restrictions, described here and below.

• Any uninvolved administrator may, on his or her own discretion, impose sanctions on any editor working in the area of conflict if, despite being warned, that editor repeatedly or seriously fails to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behavior, or any normal editorial process.
• The sanctions imposed may include blocks of up to one year in length; bans from editing any page or set of pages within the area of conflict; bans on any editing related to the topic or its closely related topics; restrictions on reverts or other specified behaviors; or any other measures which the imposing administrator believes are reasonably necessary to ensure the smooth functioning of the project.
• Prior to any sanctions being imposed, the editor in question shall be given a warning with a link to this decision; and, where appropriate, should be counseled on specific steps that he or she can take to improve his or her editing in accordance with relevant policies and guidelines.
• Discretionary sanctions imposed under the provisions of this decision may be appealed to the imposing administrator, the appropriate administrators' noticeboard (currently WP:AE), or the Committee.

These editing restrictions may be applied to any editor for cause, provided the editor has been previously informed of the case. This message is to so inform you. This message does not necessarily mean that your current editing has been deemed a problem; this is a template message crafted to make it easier to notify any user who has edited the topic of the existence of these sanctions.

Generally, the next step, if an administrator feels your conduct on pages in this topic area is disruptive, would be a warning, to be followed by the imposition of sanctions (although in cases of serious disruption, the warning may be omitted). Hopefully no such action will be necessary.

This notice is only effective if given by an uninvolved administrator and logged here. Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 06:25, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
