I don't know what you mean by "more common"; it's "M'bilia Bel" on all the albums I have, and on most of the Web lists I looked at. It's also her name. -- Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης) 20:57, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
thanx for improving my article
hannes schindler - karlsruhe -- germany ---- http://www.afriwheels.org
I'm wondering why you had removed MarketUganda from the list and yet some of the websites listed on the external links are similar to mine more or less commercial. Dont tell me for instance that there is a different between Ugandaonline and MArketUganda. We both provide similar content and the idea is the same i.e to make it easier for people looking for information about Uganda. How do you justify your removal of my site. Beside, i was one of the first people who edited and added some of the external sites available of the Uganda site including Ugandaonline.-- Marketuganda
I have now twice removed a section called "Tourism in Romania" (well, the first time it was "Turism..."). It's a perfectly valid topic, but the content was nothing but unencyclopedic hype. For the record, here is what it said. Someone needs to cover the topic a lot better than this if they want it in the article. -- Jmabel | Talk 06:56, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

I think this is the proof that you JMABEL have something against ROMANIA, you keep deleting the lines about tourism in Romania and you told us that you try to be neutral and not BIAS, but look, you are still deleting these very good lines... is there something that you don't like? well I don't care, ok? you don't want other people to discover Romania? Belive me Romania has changed since you left, don't be caught in your trap and own ideas and image about Romania, behave more decently! it was just a perfectly text on turism on Romania, actually I propose you not to interfere any more since you cannot accept the NETRAL POINTS OF VIEW OF FOREIGN PEOPLE on ROMANIA! (The Blue Guide),(Smithsonian Journeys),(Fodor's Eastern and Central Europe),(The Lonely Planet)
I have to admit I am very good in detecting your bias ideas, you should let romanians build their site since we know more about our country than you an ignorant nerd.
I really appreciate your work as a whole but we don't have to agree on all the issues, it would not be democratic, see you next time Jmabel, until then my best wishes.
"External links should have general information related to the article, not websites to promote certain businesses"
External links should be providing further information on the relevant and related article/subject and in this case about Uganda for those who wants to read and find more about Uganda. And in which way isn't marketuganda not fullfilling that? It is as any directory out there collecting Uganda related websites wheather there are private, NGOs or businesses. And believe me, I'm runnning the site from my own pocket as its impossible to charge for Internet conten in Uganda, no company or website owner is ready to pay anything to have his/her site listed and am running the site just because I love my country and I want to promote in online. If one day I start making money on it, that will be a bonus but for now my objective is to index as many uganda related websites as possible so that whoever is looking for something, they will be able to get it. Thats how all the major sites i.r Google,Yahoo started and later developed to commercial businesses but like i said, my goal is to promote Uganda.
The article about tahir sohail is real
The reason the caption for the picture of the Swedish mailman said: “a friendly Swedish mailman” was because he was waving and smiling into the camera. Sorry you don't like that... Bronks 11 nov, 2005.
Thanks for adding the roman tuba article! Gaius Cornelius 12:30, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
An image or media file that you uploaded, Image:North Korea cropped 1000 Won.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. |

Hi Ezeu - caps for plant and animal species are widely used, and accepted on wikipedia; there's no need to move it to lower case (and any moves should be done by the 'move page' method, not cut-and-paste) - thanks, MPF 13:16, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
Thank you for supporting my edit. Cheers. JackofOz 06:17, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
Even though the AfD vote on sexual slang (formerly "List of sexual slang") was to keep, the opposition ( User:The Literate Engineer and User:Voice of All(MTG)) deleted it anyways (though it was still in the history). I've written a long letter pointing out their bogus plan, revealing them for the frauds they are. I've taken the bold move of reverting the list to BEFORE they started their hack job on it (Nov 15). If you want that list retained, you better get over there and help with the reversion war that is likely to result. I can't do it alone. Bend over 17:09, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
I enjoy Soukous too.-- Quena@sympatico.ca 05:51, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
Two users in particular The Literate Engineer & Voice of All(MTG) have apparently made it their duty to get rid of the list and they have been using underhanded tactics in an attempt to do so in any way they can.
But word is getting out, and supporters of the list are starting to rally against them and protect the list (via rerverting vandalism, countering their tactics, etc.).

Could you do me a favor and take a look at the talk page for congo? There is no article referring to the shared culture of both congos and their region. I'm seeking opinions on what to do about this. Tedernst 08:42, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
Yes, I understand there is a shared culture. There is no article about the shared culture, however. I've copied your comments to Talk:Congo. Perhaps there is room for this article about the shared culture. Tedernst 09:17, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
"Most unfortunate of all eggs is Shirred egg - zero content."
Why did you change the additions I made to the 'Swedish Music' section? It seemed rather unessarsary.
Hi Ezeu.
Perhaps this was just a mistake, but please note that the proper place for commenting on an Articles for Deletion discussion is on the AfD page, not on the article itself. I removed your text from The Paw Print, you might like to go back to the AfD page and re-enter them there. Best regards, -- BillC 23:24, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
Hey - thanks for the barnstar! Blackcats 06:47, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
Thanks! Just thought that Ludlum deserved to be fleshed out a little bit more. =) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.111.42.59 ( talk • contribs) 14:53, 20 December 2005}
Hello. According to the IMDb (the link I added), Ruby Turner was born on June 22, 1958, not 1962. Usually it is a reliable source for biographical info. Gilliamjf 04:26, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
Hey Ezeu, thanks for the barnstar! Much appreciated TreveX talk 11:08, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
Dear Ezeu
I see you entered the word "discrimination" into the causes of poor health. This may well be your view, and many would agree with you, but it is an opinion, not a established fact, and so is inappropriate in wikipedia, which strives to maintain a neutral point of view. I have therefore deleted it.
If, on the other hand, you can cite an established source where discrimination has demonstrably been the cause of indigenous ill-health (e.g. a health worker has turned away a patient because of their skin colour) then it would be good to cite that in the article. If you can quote any such case, could you put it in? If uyou would like to discuss this, feel free to email me.
Cheers
Ray

I don't see anything wrong with nominating, dropping, and retaking nominations. That's the great thing about AfD - get a group opinion and reserve the right to change your mind. Happy new year. Ifnord 19:49, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
Hi Ezeu, long time no speak. I have a question about Ugandan general election, 2006. Here I assume that you were thinking of Sebaggala rather than Ssebaana, but I want to make sure as I'm not following the other candidates as closely as I should. On a complete tangent, the mention of ugali on your user page brought back memories. Did you ever have the posho that was mashed with dried cassava? I only had it around Lira. The change in consistency from regular posho was refreshing, though it's harder to make the "pockets" to scoop up sauce. I also wanted to let you know that you are all over my watchlist all the time. Thanks for all your contributions. Cheers, Banyan Tree 17:21, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
You said you wanted to Delete and Redirect... That's not a very good idea. You can redirect without deleting, and it accomplishes the same thing, except that plain old redirect preserves the talk page so people know why the original was turned into a redirect. Deleting it first erases all the proof of hoaxed sources and sockpuppeting, so that if someone tries to turn it into a self-promotional article again all the evidence against it would no longer be there. You'd be much better off voting a Speedy Keep and Redirect. DreamGuy 00:52, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
READ the History page before you edit or revert. You have violated copyright on several images, by reverting deletions. Re delete them, or turn yourself in to the authorities, please. Skull 'n' Femurs 01:56, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
Hi Ezeu, what I am tring to do is have a complete list of all South African people who have articles on wikipedia on one list. Your List of South African musicians have a large number of red links-- Jcw69 11:46, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
Ezeu:
I posted three times that I am 50 years old (see Jaffer Jaffer 04:06, 15 January 2006 (UTC)) . When I explain that I have been in teh footage business for 20 years and that I am linking to video in a similar fashion as imdb, which is a commercial site sold to Amazon.com for over $100 million.
Each admin has allowed me to do this and I am having a lot of fun...but do not want to hurt Wikipedia. Admins have deleted and then restored some of my edits or links because I am not SPAMMING. Yes, the evtv1 does have a commercial but so does IMDB, who sell advertising.
The commercial is most likely worth the great footage...of which is ALL legal that I am linking to. Please let me know if I need to do something to continue. I love doing this and one day I hope to become an admin. My email address is Jaffer@gophercentral.com.
Thank you and if you have disabled my edits, I would appreciate you restoring them.
Sincerely, Jaffer
Ezeu:
Respectfully, I disagree. There are many video clips that have no DVD associated with the clip, although a majority do. I do know that those videos that come from DVDs have given the right to use the clip for linking, for ipod downloads, etc.. I think IMDB is a great site, don't get me wrong. But it certainly is commercial and sells advertising.
But I do not make the rules. So far three admins have accused me of spamming and two have allowed me to continue. I am confused. I think SPAM is a terrible word and will stop adding legal video clips...although there are some great historical gems...from Ellis Island video clips, to Judy Garland's last performance at the Palladium.
Can I continue or am I to stop? Please advise. I appreciate your consideration. Jaffer 04:47, 15 January 2006 (UTC) Jaffer
Ezeu:
Please restore the edits. Even the link to Ellis Island was deleted...this is a precious historical clip. So many of my links have een deleted by you. I have tried to comply and state my case. Adding copyrighted video must be done only if you know the source and disposition of rights. You can email me or post. I have worked hard, although I do enjoy it, but to see the hours of work go for nothing is difficult.
I thank you for your consideration. Jaffer 15:05, 15 January 2006 (UTC) Jaffer
I have not made a secret of the fact that the links go to a site owned by my family. When you are dealing with video, you must be sure of teh copyright. You almost have to own it. I realize this seems like a conflict of interest, but in this case...necessary.
Is this "obvious self-promotion?" If you really believe that, OK...but I think you deleted teh Ellis Island Clip. Do you really believe this is a great promotion? There is a real opportunity to add good quality video to Wikipedia...but I must emphasize, copyright must be respected and the only way I personally know is to use resources I am familiar with.
Now, if my judgment is poor, I will gladly agree. And maybe some of my suggestions have not been steallar (I will get better), but I need to know the rights of the clips...and that limits me to those that I know.
Ezeu, do you really think this is blatant promotion? Jaffer 20:11, 15 January 2006 (UTC) Jaffer
please refrain from removing sourced edits without discussion. this is considered vandalism. thanks. CartmansBalls 15:25, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
