assistance with mediatin on the Bosnian Mujahideen article
Hi, I'm having a problem with the editors The Dragon of Bosnia and Grandy Grandy who have repeatedly deleted an article which I edit called Bosnian Mujahideen (see edit history here [1]). He has also deleted links to the article on other articles. [2][3][4][5]He seems to be basing his deletion of the article on two sets of arguments:
- that the term Bosnian Mujahideen does not exist. In fact the term is used by published (research and books) experts.[6]. I admit though that there are other terms often used, such as El Mujahid, El Mujaheed or just Mujahideen (spelled in various forms).
- claims the article is based on "false info/original research" or "propaganda attempt or original research if you wish, based on unverified sources per WP:RS"[8]. As you will see from the references used in the article it is quite thoroughly sourced from what must be judged to be neutral and/or reliable sources.hmatter.

Thx for your msg. I did a little work on Ian Johnson a while back, don't know if you saw it. I feel there's enough for a FA on him as well. Same for Sam Loxton; I reckon I can get him there too. I've been doing a little prelim research on both and located some imgaes etc. So are we drawing short straws for Hamence and Saggers??!! I'm not sure what is the minimum for FT, is it each article has to have at least GA status? Sooner or later we have to deal with the Bradman conundrum - I saw the article on Sir Isaac Newton and like that design. That would work well, say splitting his life into two articles, then we can bring the daughter articles back in and lose some of the periphal stuff. With a bit of hard work the Don could be done in a week or so....thoughts? Phanto282 (talk) 08:45, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry to bug you, but the purpose of this RfCU was to flush out any hidden pre-baked socks not to confirm what I already know. nat.utoronto 15:00, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Yen Bai Mutiny
Hi Blnguyen - full details of the book are:
"Les Linh Tap - Histoire des militaires indochinois au service de la France" - author: Maurice Rives - publisher: Editions La Vauzelle 1999 - ISBN: 2-7025-0436-1
As the title indicates it is a detailed and profusely illustrated history of the locally recruited regiments that France used (and misused) to hold Indochina from 1859 to 1954. The coverage of Yen Bai focuses on the actual mutiny and not the broader political context but it might be a useful reference for any reader who wants to pursue the general topic further.
Congratulations on the way you have built up the Yen Bai article almost from scratch! It now provides really first-class coverage of an important but little known incident.

Hey! I wonder why you removed all my edits on the page, including the cast section I'd added. Shahid • Talk2me 23:41, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
- Sorry about that. I went to the old version in the history and it seems that while you were adding the cast, I was on the old version. Sorry. Great movie, although it was pretty silly... Blnguyen (bananabucket) 23:43, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

- Nah, we might as well move along now. Shuffling things back and forth isn't going to be very meaningful at this point, I think. Kirill 04:04, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

The user is obviously a single-purpose account. I've tried to clean-up his/her edits a bit, by removing criticism from the intro, and by removing weasel words and selective quotations. The article needs more positive stuff, though. utcursch | talk 08:29, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
Vandalism on my Talk
Following on from that list of accounts and so forth before, two more names and an IP. The accounts are the creatively named "HazBig" and "SmallHaz", both of which have been indefblocked for obvious reasons. There's also the IP 60.230.37.94, which I'll lay odds is the same guy (I've blocked it, but not indefinitely, just in case). I believe these ones are coming from a home computer, so with any luck we might be able to zap him and have done with it. If you could drop me a line on my Talk page when you take care of it, that would be great. What with Christmas coming up, I might forget to check back here.

To the opposers in my RfA
I would like to apologise for my intemperate comments during the Melsaran affair. I accept that I should have expressed myself more civilly, and should have waited for the ArbCom to explain themselves rather than jumping to conclusions and condemning them. I can honestly say that I regret my reaction.
In my defence, I would like to reiterate that I did not use the admin tools in any way in relation to the Melsaran affair. I am completely aware that it would be a very bad idea to wheel-war with ArbCom, and I can honestly say that I would never do so.
For what it's worth, I genuinely don't dislike the ArbCom. I respect the fact that they have to make tough decisions, and I understand that sometimes these decisions must be made in secret. It is true that I have a natural aversion to authority and secrecy; this is part of my character. But in future I will do my best to treat the arbitrators with more respect and to assume good faith on their part.
I served this community for seven months as an administrator, with very little criticism. I believe that I can continue to help Wikipedia by serving as an administrator. I ask you to look at the beneficial contributions I've made to the encyclopedia; I believe that the good I can do outweighs the problems with my somewhat combative nature.
Please give me a second chance. WaltonOne 13:55, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
Tallon tidbit
According to the new Haigh/Frith book, Tallon was also banned due to "reasons other than cricket ability", along with Barnes in 1951-52. Apparently, the ban was a unilateral decision made by Aubrey Oxlade (who supported Barnes and lost the chairmanship of the Board beacuse of it) due to some comments made by Tallon to the press. Obviously, it was not effective as Tallon was injured for the season & replaced by Langley, but it may explain why Tallon never regained a permanent place in the Test team, although he did make the 53 tour. If you want to include it in the bio of Tallon, let me know & I'll give you refs, etc. Meanwhile, we're back to the ice cream on Hassett's pants and how he got Richie out of bed in the middle of the night to talk about his golf swing.....BTW, would the Don really go into a match with Tallon batting at 6???
