You were given an opportunity to correct the material, and it was removed when you did not. Do not restore this material again without correction. I am not an editor on this article; this is not a content dispute. I am an uninvolved administrator taking action on a listing on the copyright problems board. You were told that content you placed in this article violates core policies: WP:NFC and WP:BLP among them. You may not misattribute quotations or place quotations in articles without providing sources immediately following them. -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 10:11, 19 October 2011 (UTC)
Based on your note at the talk page of this article, it is clear that you do not understand what is meant by "misattributed quotation."
Direct speech is when we literally and precisely duplicated what somebody said:
Indirect speech is when we paraphrase.
If we encounter the latter in a source, we can't report it as the former. We cannot write:
In fact, he didn't. That is a fair representation of what he meant, but not the words he used. We know it's a fair representation of what he meant, because he know what his quote was. We cannot always be sure that indirect speech accurately represents the words of the subject. Quotes must be accurate. When we report what somebody else has said that was indirect speech, we need to acknowledge that it is indirect speech and not put it in quotation marks, unless we are saying
It is not the man we are quoting; it is the reporter.
In the case of this sentence, for example, you are mixing direct quotation and indirect quotation:
This is what your source says:
You can quote that President al-Nasser said "the role of mediation in the settlement of disputes by peaceful means" because your source indicates that this was direct speech. But you'll notice that this is the only direct speech in that passage. They are not telling you that they are using his exact words anywhere else. For that reason, you can't quote that he said "existence...integrity, legitimacy, survival and effectiveness" because we don't know that he used those words. We know that the author of your source used them to describe al-Nasser's position. We do not know that al-Nasser said those exact words himself, and we can't put them in his mouth. They could be a very close paraphrase or a very relaxed one, but in any event we have to report accurately what our sources say.
Since you are now working on this issue, I will not remove the misattributed again, but you need to go in and fix all of them immediately, or I will remove them again.
I will however, remove this quote:
This is what your source says:
So, your source talks about Elmary and then begins to quote Mansour. It quotes Mansour in the next paragraph and begins an indirect speech about Obama and an unnamed U.S. State Department spokeswoman:
Elmary's name is not mentioned again. The person who said "that an American veto against the vote at the Security Council should not be surprising" is, clearly, an unnamed U.S. State Department spokeswoman. Per WP:NFC and WP:BLP, you cannot say that Elmary said something a US State Department spokesman said. That, and anything else like it, that you have restored, I will remove. You must not misattribute quotations in this way. -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 10:22, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
Hi Lihaas. I don't know if you've noticed WP:Requests for comment/Kiefer.Wolfowitz, but things have recently taken a downhill turn, and there is now some worry that KW may retire over comments regarding your userpage and by implication you. I was wondering if you might consider reviewing the situation and commenting, especially at User talk:Kiefer.Wolfowitz. I know I, for one, would rather this wasn't how this ended. Thanks.

Invitation from the
Guild of Copy Editors
The Guild of Copy Editors invites you to participate in their November 2011 Backlog elimination drive, a month-long effort to reduce the size of the copy edit backlog. The drive begins on November 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and ends on November 30 at 23:59 (UTC). We will be tracking the number of 2010 articles (and specifically will be targeting the oldest three months), as we want to copy edit as many of these as possible. Barnstars will be awarded to anyone who copy edits more than 4,000 words, and special awards will be given to the top 5 in the following categories: "Number of articles", "Number of words", and "Number of articles of over 5,000 words". We hope to see you there! – Your drive coordinators: Diannaa, Chaosdruid, The Utahraptor, Slon02, and SMasters. |

Hello Lihaas,
The statement "The second party is PDP..." has been removed and you have reverted it two or three times. My explanation was in the edit summary "PDP is obviously not second", you replied "this was discussed before! the section is BEFORE the election" I cannot see when this was discussed before. I understand your idea that the section was before the election. But now, it is after the election and keeping the view from beforehand (merely based on opinion polls, not on the last election!) does not make any sense. User:Rif Winfield has explicitly explained his edit on the talk page ( [1]) Still you claim it was unexplained and accuse him/her of vandalism! You might like to be a bit more careful with accusations like this. I hope that you can accept a different view (that has been explicitly explained to you and everyone) and you will not engage in an edit war about such a trife. Kind regards and keep having fun working on our common project! -- RJFF ( talk) 17:21, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

Hi Lihaas. I'd like to point out to you that all other pages of election results use the word results in plural (e.g. here, here, here, here and many others). In fact, I didn't find a single article starting with "Result of the". I understand why you made the change, but I think we should stay consistent with the other articles already here. What do you think? — ABJIKLAM ( t · c) 18:55, 5 November 2011 (UTC)
Really,
Taking the time to change spellings from American English to British English? Both are equally recognized/recognised on Wikipedia®. Just think that is a waste of time, when there are so many actually misspelled words and bad grammar in articles!

Hi Lihaas. I've partially reverted another edit of yours on the Liberian general election, 2011 page, but I won't revert anymore because I don't want to get into an edit war. I reverted your first edit because you added uncited and grammatically incorrect information that had already been discussed in the page and, in adding the info, you inadvertently removed all of the infoboxes by not closing out your references tag.
With regards to the second revert of your reorganization of the page, I agree that the page isn't perfectly organized at the moment. I've experimented with regrouping the results and all of the info on each election under their respective sections (for instance, putting the presidential election results under the presidential election section and the same for the legislative results), but this left much of the rest of the article's content feeling orphaned. As such, I've kept the chronological order for now. However, your reorganization completely eliminates the election results section and places the results at the beginning of the voting section under no subsection. Placing the election results before the info on the election itself seems counterintuitive and, by eliminating the results section and subsection, makes the page more difficult to navigate through the navigation box at the top.
Additionally, you added a line about the riot yesterday citing an al-Jazeera article saying that four people had died. However, government officials have said that only two people were killed, and the article you cited said that its figure was "according to witnesses at the scene." As such, I've clarified this by adding a new source. Furthermore, if you are going to cite an web article, please use the Template:Cite web format. Just putting a url within a reference tag is not the correct way to cite information and just creates more work for everyone else.
The rest of your changes were constructive and helped improve the article, and so I've left them as they are. If you can think of a way to improve the organization of the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page. I'm sure we can come to a consensus. Thanks, and cheers. — Idaltu ( talk) 22:44, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
Could you explain your three efforts at this revert? In particular your changing of seats won in the last election to the incorrect figures? PASOK won 160 seats at the last election, not 152 - and in fact your edit left four of the five parties with the incorrect number of seats. Please be more careful as to what lines you are filling in.

Get your facts straight. This comment is absolute slander. It was a different editor who moved it [3]. And if you do anymore bullshit like this stunt I'll take it as a personal attack and have you reported and hopefully banned. Hot Stop talk- contribs 16:25, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
I've blocked you for one week. Given your past block history, as well as the fact that this has been discussed repeatedly, I feel you're not getting the point; even if you feel someone is being unfair to you, personally attacking them again and again is not the answer. Please take this time to read up on the personal attack policy. m.o.p 00:50, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
Lihaas,
If I was a little more courageous, I would include all those contradictory political userboxen on my userpage, except one.

Welcome back. But please don't turn full references into bare URLs. The edit you just made was extreme. Let me explain: The last time, it took me a lot of unnecessary and wasted time to fix it back and I saw the hours melting away. If you have some reason for getting rid of reference information, then please use the talk first. Also just because something is not accessible through the Internet does not make it dubious and the dubious template should not be used in that situation. There are plenty of references in Wikpedia that come out of old fashioned books. Sorry if I sound anxious but that last edit was breathtaking. Crtew ( talk) 17:01, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
Lihaas, I don't want to upset you, but I don't understand why you're getting rid of references and turning them into bare links.

Lihaas, You keep turning all the references into bare links. You have some good reason for doing what you're doing, but I don't understand why all the references have to be destroyed in the process.

I have repeatedly seen you edit out small fragments of what I have contributed, especially the links after an attack saying (See also [2011 Damascus bombings]]) for example.

Didn't Nightstallion give you a source? I thought that established things. Plus the previous constitutional precedent with Vieira's death and Pereira becoming acting president then as well would have made it apparent. He's been acting president during Sanhá's treatment anyway, so your argument that the post is vacant is a moot point too. It's more of a continuation of the same than a whole new issue...

Uttar Pradesh State Assembly elections, 2012 has followed standardised naming which you can see by visiting Uttar Pradesh state assembly elections, 2007. Election related articles need to be informative about candidates schedules etc., which I have tried to buid in 2012 article. If you have any dispute then you may write back, instead of taking one sided view by deleting the article in which lot of effort has been put and will amount to nothing but cyber-vandalism. I hope together we can create a good article on UP electios, which will be free from any point of view and will be able to deliver information to readers, which is motto of Wikipedia.

There is no need to cite sources to support uncontested claims. Quoting from WP:VERIFY:
To show that all material added to Wikipedia is not original research, it must be possible to attribute it to a reliable, published source appropriate for the content in question. While all material must be attributable, in practice you do not need to attribute everything. This policy requires that all quotations and anything challenged or likely to be challenged be attributed in the form of an inline citation that directly supports the material.

I am trying very hard to get this incident on the main page as ITN element. It is very hard to do this when people keep removing the section I am linking to. :( Sorry I am quite frustrated by the constant removals at these articles as same content was quickly removed from Taliban article as well.
It is very bad practice to have list of attacks. I honestly do not care how many people get killed in attacks. I care more about the details. Each attack should be a detailed section or an entirely separate article.
Do we need 6 sources? Yes because each has different detail. I was hoping people who are more knowledgeable on the topic would expand using them.

Other ITN items run at the same time, such as the 2012 Australian Open, received fewer !votes of support, even though run for a longer period of time. For my reasons stated at the nomination page, that is why I posted. Spencer T♦ C 23:54, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

I am long gone from that discussion. Yes I was frustrated with it and I left, I don't know what you are angry at? That I stated as a matter of fact, from your user page available to public view, that you are a Nazi - a.k.a. National Socialist and addressed to users that you had a specific POV on the issue at hand as you state on your user page that you believe that Kosovo is naturally part of Serbia, and that you have taken strong POVs on other nationalist issues - I thought you would have taken that as a point of fact. Well sorry then. But now that that is done, I should say that I have little to nothing in common with you and I do not want to converse with you any further on the topic at that article about Kosovo or any other topic.

I have been inactive on that page on Kosovo for months. And I pointed out that you held extreme POV views on Kosovo and other nationalist disputes - you included them in your public profile. And that you consider yourself a fascist and a National Socialist - you posted it on your user page, and people should know that you are a neo-Nazi with an axe to grind on Kosovo - you staunchly support Serbia's claim to Kosovo and hold contentious positions on multiple ethnic nationalist conflict zones in the world. This is the last post I ever want to post on your page.

I happen to know Holocaust survivors and their relatives and I have sought to avoid conversation with you on that article and since because I could not carry on a conversation calmly with someone associated with fascism and National Socialism in light of the Holocaust and the horrific stories I have heard from an elderly Polish Jewish man I knew who survived Treblinka as a 12-13 year old boy who worked there as a slave labourer and saw his friend of the same age have is face and body smashed to a bloody pulp dead by Nazi guards because he was a few minutes late for a routine in the camp. I told you to cease commenting on my talk page. Now I am reporting you for harassment. Here is the report, address your case here: [4].-- R-41 ( talk) 19:54, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

Did you look at the second discussion which was closed as move. Vegaswikian ( talk) 03:31, 7 February 2012 (UTC)
Hi Lihaas,
I just wanted to apologise for this SPI investigation - it transpires the user was a sockpuppet, but I'd made a mistake in assuming you were the puppetmaster. I'm sorry. Yunshui 雲 水 15:13, 8 February 2012 (UTC)
I have been working hard over the last couple of weeks to produce a worthwhile article on Christopher Whall the Stained Glass artist. I did not think it perfect by any means but have tried to follow what I understand to be the ways of wikipedia.
Your "clean-up" tag was I must say disappointing but "hey ho" that is the way with these things. Trouble is I am not sure what to do next and a few pointers as to how to improve the article would be appreciated.
At the end of the day my purpose in writing this article was to do this artist justice and the article that was on wiki when I started (I think 13th January) for somewhat sparse.
Look forward to your suggestions.
Incidentally I am not sure how to "disambiguate" "Holy Trinity Church". Would appreciate your help.
Please do not think that I am being precious. I have written a few bits and pieces now for wiki and thought that I was getting the hang of things but clearly not.
Thanks

![]() | On 18 February 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article North Kosovo referendum, 2012, which you recently nominated. The fact was ... that the Serbs of Kosovo held a non-binding referendum in which they rejected the Republic of Kosovo's institutions' authority in north Kosovo? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/North Kosovo referendum, 2012. If you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

That's too bad, but no worries. I'm sorry for involving you if I did. I tend to avoid these situations and certainly didn't expect to be accused of edit warring for improving an article and then get subsequently recommended for sanctions. Oh well, shit happens. Take care. -- Al Ameer son ( talk) 19:16, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
![]() | On 21 February 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article National Movement for the Liberation of Azawad, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that following the 2011 Libyan civil war, many Tuareg fighters for the defeated government became members of the National Movement for the Liberation of Azawad, seeking an independent Azawad? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/National Movement for the Liberation of Azawad.You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Hi Lihaas, I answered in my talk page also, my reference is mnlamov.net http://www.mnlamov.net/documents/113-bureau-executif-du-mouvement-national-de-liberation-de-lazawad-mnla.html I found also that "Bilal Ag Cherif" returns 30,000 results on google... I guess it's the right spelling! Best regards-- BabyFoot ( talk) 11:45, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
