Reporting Vandalism by User:(nadermeleka) & (Orthopraxia)

Hello Lanternix,

This is BVS, We would like to report continous Vandalism by user (nadermeleka) and his friend (Orthopraxia) who are trying to delete and revert sections of the article to help them in their ultimate goals.

As you now, Weikpedia is not the place for any battles nor who is right or who is wrong (Truth Rule). They have been asked to do so for specific reasons.

Please give a warning one more time to these users that Misplaced Pages is not a battle zone and is not the place to fight or have battles whether they think they are right or wrong or being asked to do that (Truth Rule). We have corrected this matter several times, but they insist on doing so and they have a 24 hours shifts to accomplish there goals.

Before we take the matter to another level within Misplaced Pages claims, we would like to ask for your help and to explain to them that they should NOT revert any information made at good faith efforts done by other users. They have been caught red-handed doing so and they admitted that. We will restore it one more time, but if they do NOT stop, then we are really asking for you help to stop this vandalism.

Misplaced Pages is NOT the place to attack other people good faith editing, to fight, to dispute or to claim the (Truth Rule). If they do NOT stop, then we are asking you to take specific actions against them after giving them a warning.

Misplaced Pages rules need to be respected despite any church internal disputes and no matter were they stand in it.

(Orthopraxia) already received several vandalism warnings previously and is known to engage in edit wars (Check his talk).

Thank you for your help & support.

The only vandal here is you and your IP address. I suggest you stop adding that stupid website and the photo of that fake bishop before I get you banned forever from Misplaced Pages. There is the final warning for you, and I'm getting quite fed up with your attitude! --Ⲗⲁⲛⲧⲉⲣⲛⲓⲝ 09:25, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

Lanternix,

Please do not jump into conclusions before checking up the vandalism done and admitted by these respectable (2) Users. I am not the one reverting their edits or getting involved in there efforts. They are the ones doing so. It is very clear and they admitted doing that.

If they disagree with some of the church members, we are sorry for that. The Misplaced Pages rules are very clear and they should be aware of it. This is not a battlefield area for their believes. (Truth Rule). They need to stop reverting other people`s good faith efforts and editing. Please do not adopt their point of view based on their goals which clearly contradicts the Misplaced Pages rules.

Their (talk) clearly shows that they are involved in editng wars and they have at least half dozens of vandalism claims from other members (Please check their talk) and ask them to refrain from doing so. friendship with some of them should not be an excuse to adopt their point of views and allow them to revert other people`s efforts and we strongly resent their accussations about Bishop Mena. The Diocese information needs to be reinstated because this is our right. Sorry if they don't like our people or they call the Bishop (fake) that is their problem and I see they need payers. We abide by Misplaced Pages rules and they have to do the same.

Thank you for your understanding.

Hi Lanternix,

This is quite a ridiculous situation, both BVS 125 and IP Address 71.195.186.130, unless they are the same person, are engaged in a very weird and persistant vandalism in most of the pages related to the Cptic Orthodox Church by insisting of the addition of a fake or non existant bishop of an non existant diocese. I have warned them but to no avail. Here is the fact of the matter and they are aware of it, if that information was true, no one would have any mind or even thing to such an addition, everyone wants to have the number of bishops and dioceses of the Coptic orthodox Church grow every day, but to add such an information, the following need to be done: 1) To have any confirmation from theHoly Synod of the Coptic Orthodox Vhurch about such a diocese or bishop. This is non existant and they know that very well. 2) Whoever reads the contents of the so-called Fresno diocesan website, notes that there is a mojor feud among the members of the congregation of that parish (not diocese0 and the apparently imposed priest on them, to the point of having serious disagreement about several investigations done by several bishops about that feud. 3)The title of the website states that the so-called bishop is called Mina the Ischariot, which meens the treator among the ecclesiastical parlance, which in turn means that the website is created to mock the whole idea of the bishop and the diocese, by saying that the people of that parish are suffering from an imposed clergy, who is backed by some bishops as it claims, comparing him with Judas the Ischariot and have an episcopal imposition. Accordingly, this website does not proof the existance of a diocese or a bishop but mocks them. 4) It is clear that the image provided for that so-called bishop is composed or superimposed. by matching episcopal vestments on the face of that priest.

It becomes evident that the reason behind the insistance for adding such an addition in many Coptic Orthodox Church related pages on Misplaced Pages, is an attempt to propagate the apparent injustice imposed on that parish, by mocking the priest, by making him a bishop and the parish a diocese. So these two fellows are actually against that priest and they using Misplaced Pages pages as a tool of their WAR against that priest and whoever fllows him and protects him. I even suspect that they/he have created that webpage for the sake of such mokery.

So the WAR here is from these two gentlemen (or gentleman, if it's only one person) and all I, you and others are doing is stoping them/him from doing this persisting vandalism.

If they/he can provide a document or documents from the Holy Synod of the Coptic Orthodox Church about such addition, creation of a diocese, consecration of such bishop, date of consecration and by whom and where from a reliable source, then by all means this addition is welcomed. Of course you know and I know that this will never happen. I am copying this message on the User talk page of BVS 125 for his information.

I will never stop preventing the vandalism they/he are/is doing and I hope that you would do the same. If you have the means to ban them/him permanently, please do so, since obviously they have an agenda of their own. Thanks.Orthopraxia (talk) 00:19, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

Bvs--Bvs1925 (talk) 02:31, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

Hello Lanternix,

We read Orthopraxia comments and here are our responses to it:

1) Mr. Orthopraxia is trying to analyze the Diocese of Fresno status in order to reach conclusions that leads to a truth from his own opinion (Truth Rule). Also, we are very well capable of answering his arguments, Misplaced Pages is not found to be a war zone or to prove one party is right and the other party is wrong (Truth Rule).

2) Orthopraxia being extremely interested in our Diocese's status raises red flags about who is behind him and what goals is he trying to achieve. He is very likely to be driven by a request of another Bishop who is supporting Bishop Mena. (And he knows who is the person we are talking about !!!). Again, Misplaced Pages is not the place for WAR regarding any Church internal disputes.

3) Orthopraxia, is trying to discuss the method used in choosing Bishop Mena and whether he was chosen by the members of the Diocese of through any other method? Thus taking the discussion into the root of the church well-known dispute to achieve his goal of eliminating the Diocese information from Misplaced Pages and scoring it.

4) The Diocese information has the right to be listed in Misplaced Pages despite the disagreement going on between several Bishops. We in the Diocese maintain open door policy and accept the others opinions (Please see the link to Bishop Athanasius's TV program having problems with Fr. Mena (later on Bishop Mena) and we never deleted that.

5) Orthopraxia and his friend are fellows of Bishop Ermia and trying to achieve his goals by eliminating the presence of the Diocese (because it is against their best interest).

6) We will never stop demanding our right to have the Diocese of Fresno listed in Misplaced Pages (because its presence is a fact) and widely known to everybody) desite attempts to deny it.

7) I (Bvs) can easily stop this silly editing war with these (2) Users, if they agree to stay away from us and abide the Misplaced Pages rules regarding editing other people's work and the (Truth Rule).

8) Finally, I want you to think about this (What is it for Orthopraxoia and his friend in it?), what would make them come from nowhere to start bothering the Fresno Coptic people in their diocese? Is that happening out of their goodwill? Are they making 24 hours shifts to focus on this subject out of their good nature? The answer is obvious, we in Fresno, know who is behind them and they know that we know !!!!!

9) Finally, and despite the fact of the friendship with Orthopraxia, we are still asking you to activate the Misplaced Pages rules regarding: a) Editing Rules for editing other user's work. b) Truth rules, c) All applicable other rules.

10) Although, we have 250 members in our diocese that can easily join Misplaced Pages to protect their right to have religious information on Misplaced Pages and get into what Orthopraxia wants to drag us to, and this will end up that he either stop his vandalism of our diocese information or will end up blocking 250 users who will come back again to defend their religion.

11) We will also, take this matter to another level with Misplaced Pages because his requests are completely unacceptable. He already had (6) vandalism warnings and it makes us wonder how many warnings does it take for him to stop. We are fed up with these acts. We will not make any announcement or recommendations with the coptic orthodox families in the diocese, until you make your final decision regarding our rights and activating and applying the Misplaced Pages rules.

Nofri Lantermix,

Thanks for your response. Keep me posted. Merry Christmas to you too. Orthopraxia (talk) 03:12, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

Hi Lanternix,

It is quite obvious that these people have paranoia, this BVS guy, starts to make assumtions and deductions with a hint of a conspiracy theory. I don't need to defend myself, but for your knowledge:

• I don't know anything about this misrable parish and its more misrable congregation and I live in San Fernando Valley, Los Angeles.
• I have never been in Fresno in my life and no no one who is a member of this parish.
• For the last 8 years, I don't deal any bishop of the Coptic Orthodox Church on a personal level or even is a friend of mine.
• I myself had problems with the ministry and services within the Coptic Orthodox Church and I am not involved in any activities in it.
• I am not a member of the Coptic Orthodox Church anymore since 2001 and almost never deal with members of the local Coptic Orthodox Church where I used to worship.
• I am an active member in the Antiochian Orthodox Church and hold the rank of Subdeacon in my Antiochian Orthodox parish, with is under the omophorion (jurisdiction) of His Grace Bishop Joseph Zahlawe, Bishop of the Diocese of Los Angeles and the West. This does not mean that I am not proud of my Coptic Orthodox heritage and am not intersted in its history, dogma and ecclesiastical matters.
• I have learned from previous experience from dealing and interacting with Coptic Orthodox Clergy (Hierarchs and Priests) that made me never want to deal with any of them anymore.

So this BVS guy and his associates need to get off their horses and stop their propaganda. If, hypothetically speaking this parish with its priest became a diocese and he became a bishop, then it is definetly not under the jurisdiction of the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria. Now all it needed, if that claim is true, to provide a substantial proof of such diocesan erection and such episcopa consecration. All such events are always properly documented in the offical website of the Patriarchate and most definetly published in the "El Kerazza". I don't see that! Until this is proved, then there is no place on the Holy Synod page for such fabricated information, nor is too on other Coptic Orthodox Church relaled pages. That's beside the fact what I mentioned before that the proof provided is a mokery of that so-called diocese and that so-called bishop. If this PVS guy wants to discuss this issue by phone, here it is (818)989-7682 Orthopraxia (talk) 04:43, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

Nofri Lanternix, Thank you for your concern and understand your point of view, but the information I provided is not confidential and I am not afraid to give my phone number, perhaps the issue can be resolved by phone. Anyway, if you have a minute or two, call me, I haven't spoken to you since that sole phone call we made along time ago.Orthopraxia (talk) 05:19, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

Coptic editor

Nice to see a Coptic editor around, it adds to an essential balance in articles dealing with the Arab world! There is in fact a lovely Coptic Church next to my university. If you don't mind me asking what I generally like learning from orthodox Christians, what's your view on the Eastern-Oriental schism? I always hear really interesting points from each side so I like asking, because it is less clear cut than the Latin-Eastern schism. It also involves really interesting christology. --Afghana 23:16, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Coptic Synod

It's great that you're keeping track of the Coptic pages, but the current format is unhelpful. Metropolitans of the church are linked with metropolis instead of pages about their (personal) diocese. Dioceses are linked with generic city pages instead of articles about the diocese itself, their history, and their former bishops.

Red links will show people where work needs to be done. Besides which, there is a page for the Diocese of Syene: you just didn't wait until I was finished posting it up. -LlywelynII (talk) 10:32, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:PopeShenoudaIII24.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:PopeShenoudaIII24.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Misplaced Pages articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Hekerui (talk) 08:52, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

File:EgyptGovernorates.png

Hello! You created this work entirely by yourself? This isn't true, it's a derivate of File:Egypt location map.svg and you totally ignored the license. Please read the license text (same license for derivates, not public domain, naming the author of the source) and correct the file desciption. NNW (talk) 10:06, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Alexandria Governorate.svg

A tag has been placed on File:Alexandria Governorate.svg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section I2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.

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 that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines.

Governorates of Egypt

Hi Lanternix, I'm from Israel and the Heberw wiki. I found that you created one of the maps of Governorates of Egypt. I found also that the two maps are not the same. for example, Giza Governorate, no.11, is very small in the upper map (not yours) which does not fit with the table that says the area is 85,000 km^2 (bigger than Sinai peninsula which is 60,000 km^2). how can you explain the differences, and which map is the right one? Thank you.Tushyk (talk) 04:37, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks!!

Hi, thank you for your note, i will add the article you told me of to my watchlist. I enjoy Phoenician archaelogy and history (i find it particularly interesting and mysterious), history of the Levant and Lebanese culture & cultural venues articles, I already got two articles GA rated and am working on a third one, what is your area of interest mate, maybe we may be able to help one another.

Template:Z10

This is ridiculous! First of all, I encouraged the other party to discuss his reverts of my edits, which he/she has not done. Secondly, I agreed with some of his points and restored some of his changes as a compromise. Thirdly, and most importantly, I made one change and only 3 reverts, which technically does NOT break the 3RR rule! Get another admin to look at this, please! --Lanternix (talk) 22:50, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

Edit warring is still edit warring even if you don't pass 3 reverts; read WP:3RR carefully. But if you want another admin to look at this, there are clear instructions above. rʨanaɢ /_contribs 22:55, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

Hi

The rules apply to some and not to others here, get used to it, even admins do not assume good faith and how could they, bias is everywhere. Well i looked into the matter of Kataeb , it looks as usual that wikipedia is used as a tool for political propaganda, to make things worse, there are wikioedians who assume knowledge of a subject but in fact they know nothing about it nor do they look up references or do a fact check. the end result is you get bombarded by ridiculous warnings and end up blocked ;P So as i was saying the references cited in kataeb were taken out of context, if a party adopts fascist discipline and not a fascist agenda and ideology then it is not qualified as fascist, that was most refused to comprehend because their own political affiliations forbade them to. I found a conclusive source that i added hoping this will end this pointless dispute. Eli+ 14:23, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

Arabic speaking Chrsitians

Hi mate, the debate is pointless here. Arab ethnicity is probably a minority in the arab states outside the peninsula, people don't and wont get that just as long as people in the "arab world" speak arabic. The term arab christians is not wrong but is not very accurate. I tend to avoid articles i cannot provide conclusive evidence for. read my comment on the talk page and we'll see what is to be done, in all cases there are too many unreferenced passages in the article that make it pretty unreliable, it's pretty poor and biased. Eli+ 19:34, 26 September 2009 (UTC) OMG i messed it up, i left out the ic and when i noticed it was too late, i requested a page move from and admin since all the pages history is left out :( Eli+ 20:26, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

Change in coptic cross image

I noticed that you added coptic writing to the coptic cross image you uploaded for the copts template. what does it mean ? --George (talk) 18:52, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

I searched for it on google and it looks like it means Egyptian christians (correct me if I'm wrong). I don't think this should be added the picture since it's not part of the coptic cross and it's not part of the liturgy. --George (talk) 19:08, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

I didn't see it before because I don't have a coptic font on my comptuer. I still think you should remove it (at least from the coptic cross image) because even though it describes copts in the coptic language it's not known outside 3 pages on the internet (according to google) and one of them is a forum thread where a member translated it to coptic to describe himself because he doesn't like the word "copt".

If you're not convinced, I still think it should be in a separate image added to the template above the cross so that the cross can be used in other articles alone. --George (talk) 23:40, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

Non-free images in your userspace

Hi. I have reverted you last edit to you Tintin-userbox. Per our non-free content policy, WP:NFCC, criteria nine, we don't use any image that is copyrighted and has not been released under a free license, in userspace. Rettetast (talk) 01:47, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

The policy is clear on this. I asked for intervention from someone else at WP:ANI#Non-free image at User:Lanternix/Userboxes/Tintin. Rettetast (talk) 02:10, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

I have removed the images from your Tintin userbox and your Asterix userbox. Per Misplaced Pages's policy on non free content, fair use images, like the ones which I removed can only be used in article space, since doing otherwise would be contrary to Misplaced Pages's goal as a free encyclopedia. --Patar knight - /_{contributions} 02:56, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

Arab Christians

Hi i noticed you've been trying to fight the POV of that article from many editors who are clearly biased, ive added a section with sources on the lebanese perspective of the Arab Idenity (for and against). Ive also suggested the name be changed. Since you seem to know alot and source well i wonder could help create a bit Egypt's viewpoint of the Arab identity and what is the viewpoint there like I have Lebanon, it would give the article more neutrality and less POV from arab nationalists. take care and good work so far.Miss-simworld (talk) 21:17, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

Thanks

They tried to edit alot of what I wrote out but i added sources and even now there is racist arabist who said i was you under a sock account LOL arguing with me over that section because he wants it out the article go on discussion part under Vandalism.Yeah I am 1/4 Egyptian I love Egypt but I hate the politicians and I hate Pan-Arabism it's racist and a cheap form of Islamism. Has comitted Cultural genocide in many countries and silenced free-thinking ♥Yasmina♥ (talk) 18:31, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

There's no doubt of the racism of Pan Arabism, I just added there a phrase by an Egyptian writer that wrote: "like Pan Islamism, Pan Arabism is an exclusive ideology". The recent intra-racism between Algeria & Egypt (for example) at the recent games, shows again that Pan Arabism is more of "pure supremacy" anti non-Arab than (fake dream of) "unity".

LOL

sock claims have been proven false :)

get check my recent edits on the section, that guy is trying to act as if he cares about imparitiality by edit warring when the truth is he wants to whole thing deleted. also see the quotes I added which ARE well sourced word to word LOL hahahaha they are gonna hate it but it's 100% true. I bet you they are going to come it with a reason to delete that♥Yasmina♥ (talk) 23:53, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

Thanks

intresting article!! could you send me the link to the original site link? thanks it true what it says it is racism the worse kind i have ever seen, even if I was to find out that I was descended from an Arabian tribe (which is unlikely) that converted to Christianity I would never accept Arabism because today it's meaning is simple = islamism and excepting that Islamic culture is dominant to all. There is NO secular arabism that truely exists. It's a myth and a lie. Pan-Arabism is the Arab Nazism Germany was only able to flourish when that totalitarian and racist ideology was banished and abandoned it can only be the same for the middle east. Without it you will see more people being able to express and think for themselves and accept indiviuality and cultural/racial diversity and ofcourse minorities would be better off.♥Yasmina♥ (talk) 06:48, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

Here are some more

• Pan-Arabism (I am working on that one)
• Arab nationalism
• Egyptian Revolution of 1952 Major POV article terrible title since that revolution was anti-Egyptian and pro-Arab led by the Nazi-Arabist Nasser

THANKS

Merci Kteer for the gift :) I think I should do more Egypt Articles, just like the Lebanese ones they seem to be hijacked by Pan-Arabists. Need help with finding sources dont hestitate to ask for my assistance. I am currently working on the Koura & Amioun article cleaning them up. Alot of Lebanese articles need clearing up.

Pan-Arabism

Instead of editing my userpage could you please address the issues I raised with the sources you reintroduced into the article? nableezy - 05:06, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for your great work on Pan Arabism, true history is extremely important, like the Mufti's involvement in Pan-Arabism (among aother things...). PS Coptic, Arab Christians are/were victims of racism of Pan Arabism forcible Arabization. BTW, I think there's a mispelling of the word "Christians" in number 19 on this page.

Toothie3 (talk) 06:07, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Excellent editing for the Pan Arab article

The mufti hitler photos were very relevant and I am sure despite that it will still be rejected by pan-arabists as unreliable to link the their cause nazism. new article to watch Nasserism no sources only POV by pan-Arabists and excludes the fact he was racist he is accused of destroying Egyptian society.♥Yasmina♥ (talk) 14:20, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

go a thread here ♥Yasmina♥ (talk) 22:06, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

Merci

go on the pan-arabism talk page lol nearly every source stated its been labelled unreliable. mon française n'est pas bon mais j'ai besoin de la pratique anyway despite my rusty french which i havent used in a long time.yes this is very cowardly what those pan-arabists did, they didnt even have the face to bring that thread to me personally instead behind my back. THEY are the racists with clear biases and refute it. if you want to converse in french i dont mind i read it well enough its just my writing is poor ♥Yasmina♥ (talk) 01:27, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for that warning, I see the intimidation by Malik Shabazzz & Nableezy, I wonder why admin. here on wikipedia can not see the transparency of their methods. Malik like Nableezy try to push the MILITANT ISLAMIC POV into the Pan Arabism under guise of "complaints" and abusing "wiki" rules.

Biased Arabic template

I just wanted to salute your courage regarding the arabic wiki. Best wishes Arthur B (talk) 12:26, 14 March 2010 (UTC) Oh! I forgot to add that in the arabic wiki itself there is a userbox called "this user opposes the project of egyptian wiki" ويكيبيديون يعارضون مشروع ويكيبيديا مصري" and also another userbox that refers to arabic wiki as "evil conspiracy" هذا المستخدم يعتقد بوجود مخططات شريرة لهدم العربية. I don't know if that can help you in the current controversy. Best wishes again!

I know he even tried to get the title changed again

He tried to get the title changed again and went on whining to other editors about the sources (yada yada yada), they didnt see what the problem was so now i think he is going to these tatics. Seriously that guy doesnt give up, he must of thought we left the article for good ♥Yasmina♥ (talk) 10:48, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Biased Arabic template DrV

Hi Lanternix, Just a short note: arguing the way you are in DrV is much more likely to hurt your case than help it. As I agree that the box should be allowed in user space, I just thought I'd let you know. Striking some of your comments might not be a bad way to go, but I'd certainly encourage you to lay off there... Hobit (talk) 01:35, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

• Probably nothing in particular. It just feels like you are getting uncivil. So a lower profile would be a good idea. Hobit (talk) 07:00, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

Yes go on the talk page of the Page you see why it's happened they havent gotten a response to my edits. So they are resorting to these tatics.♥Yasmina♥ (talk) 09:58, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
