The Guardian writes that they were initially thought to be Jewish. I take that as meaning they were not. They also use the language "Latvian."
Hope it helps.

you could find some time over the next week to see what the default or most widely used term in Hebrew is for the Zion square assault. Technically we do need some sort of Hebrew indications in the lead on this. All the translated press use (attempted) lynch, but perhaps it's more complex than that. No hurry, if you can see your way to looking into this. Thanks, pal. Best Nishidani ( talk) 19:03, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

Re your WP:AIV report: I have blocked that account for now. This report is serious enough that I recommend you also post an "FYI" about this incident at the Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents. I'm not sure if there are other steps that should be taken in the event of death threats made using our email system; a post there gets many more admins' eyes on the issue.
In the future, I'd take any threats of this nature straight to that noticeboard.
You should also consider your own safety; if you feel threatened, contact your local law enforcement. -- A. B. ( talk • contribs) 22:58, 17 September 2012 (UTC)

Hi RolandR. Please take a look at User talk:24.177.121.137, an IP you warned for edit warring. The IP has left comments for you since they cannot post on your talk page. Thanks, Lego Kontribs TalkM 21:41, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
The claim about Peter Novick comes from document B of the collection published by JPS. Quoting from the source: "B. ALAN M. DERSHOWITZ, LETTER TO NIELS HOOPER, ACQUISITIONS EDITOR OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA PRESS, 19 NOVEMBER 2004. The following letter is one of several that Alan Dershowitz sent to editors at the New Press, which was originally contracted to publish Beyond Chutzpah, and to 87 editors and lawyers at the University of California Press on the subject of Beyond Chutzpah."
It is a letter Dershowitz sent to the University of California Press and others in an attempt to stop the publication of Finkelstein's book. Dlv999 ( talk) 22:33, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

Hi - we can't actually delete an account or username, so I can't remove it. The username was removed from all edits. But I didn't actually block him, he was blocked some time ago but today sent me about 13 abusive emails, so I removed his ability to email. I must have blocked another sock recently, perhaps 24.126.103.70 ( talk · contribs). Sorry I can't help you, but it's technically not possible so far as I know. Dougweller ( talk) 12:56, 27 December 2012 (UTC)
If you think a username needs to be hidden, please don't mention it explicitly on any public part of Wikipedia, including individual admins' talk pages. In stead, please email the request to some admin and leave them a {{ ygm}} on their talk page.

I see in the AN/I report against Tellyuer1 ( talk · contribs) that you've characterized some of his recent edits as reverts. Have you got diffs that will make that pretty obvious?
I ask because, even though I'm involved, I made it pretty clear to him that I would block him if he did any more reverting to article related to Moshe Friedman. I'd say Neturei Karta counts as related.
Not that I want to block him, but I don't want his talk page to turn into a litany of empty threats. Advice and input welcome. Thank you — C.Fred ( talk) 20:25, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Delegitimization of IsraelHello RolandR. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Delegitimization of Israel, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: there is enough here to make clear that it is not an A7 candidate. If you think it should be deleted, take it to AfD. Thank you. JohnCD ( talk) 20:14, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

1rr at max brennerPlease be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's
talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents
consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an
appropriate noticeboard or seek
dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary
page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be
blocked from editing. Max Brenner is a 1RR page. I think this revert puts you in violation of 1rr: http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Max_Brenner&diff=553182271&oldid=553174863 Please stop and continue to discuss on talk. Soosim ( talk) 12:16, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
CPGBML abbreviationsI added abbreviation tags to the Communist Party of Great Britain (Marxist–Leninist) article, this is because the abbreviation CPGB-ML gets used a lot in the article and since it's only defined once in the introduction it could be confusing to readers who aren't familiar with the CPGB-ML and don't often use that abbreviation. You reversed my edits. I still think the abbreviation is confusing and I've noticed other articles on political parties tend to just use the term 'the party' so that might be more appropriate. As an example I've partially done this on the Communist Party of Britain article. Extua ( talk) 20:43, 8 May 2013 (UTC) GoldblumWhat do you think about the PROD on that article?

BDSHi Roland, Regarding your recent edit to the page, I believe the cited source supported the original text. The relevant text from the source [5] states: "The fact that not all of the Jewish-Israeli public rejects BDS certainly strenghthens the struggle. There are at least two significant sources of support for Global BDS from within Israel. One is the 'Supporting the Palestinian BDS Call from Within', an initiative launched by Jewish-Israeli activisists in early 2009." (My emphasis) It seems to me that not only was my original text supported by the cited source, but also the author seems to be making a specific point about Jewish-Israeli support for the boycott, which would suggest to me that we should accurately reflect what he is saying on this point.

Is your removal sourced, Sir? This Wikipedia knows other ways of demanding sources, if you don't believe me. It's enough to click the Honecker kiss to find several of them. Xx236 ( talk) 09:58, 5 June 2013 (UTC) The Signpost: 05 June 2013
San Remo ConferenceTo whom it may concern: hi, I have not been aware of the possibility to discuss changes of articles on Wikipedia. I'm still unable to find the "talk" page of the article I wish to expand upon, namely the "San Remo Conference". I do not wish to delete any of the already existing parts of the article, but to add the findings of Howard Grief and Dr. Jacques Gauthier. Please note that: First, I clearly mark my addition as an opinion represented by these two men, which is a critique of mainstream views on this issue. However, as an avid Wikipedia user myself, I know that it is common practice in Wikipedia articles to include sections where awareness for different points of view is raised. Secondly, in the "Anniversary Celebrations" section of the article, it is already mentioned that Dr. Jacques Gauthier stresses the fundamental importance of this Conference for the foundation of Palestine, Syria and Mesopotamia. I merely wish to expand on this, as should be in the interest of any intelligent and open-minded person. Third, my contribution to the article does not solely focus on the issue of Eretz Israel/Palestine, it offers further information about the decision making of that era and its repercussions for the conflict in general. These issues are still widely underrepresented in Wikipedia. I am aware of the fact that my contribution to the article is not yet perfectly cited and interlinked with other Wikipedia articles, but my personal experience in editing Wiki-articles (history section of Maccabi Tel Aviv Basketball Club) has taught me that Wikipedia consists of the work of thousands of people who complement each others work. In this spirit, I ask you to allow me to add a base for this article, so that others might add to it, instead of just deleting it and thus disclosing this information from others. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Maccabipage ( talk • contribs) 13:50, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
The length of my addition is due to the fact that the original article is very short and lacks most of the vital information this Conference provides us with. I am not playing games, and I expect the same from you. I will make an effort to find more citations, but as I already mentioned, this is a team effort, and you know as well as I do, that many people add citations and searrch for new ones, as soon as a base is there. Concluding, I now expect my addition not to be deleted, as I abide with all rules of Wikipedia and most importantly, act in its spirit. I ask you to refrain from abusing your censorship power by deleting different academic viewpoints. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Maccabipage ( talk • contribs) 14:13, 10 June 2013 (UTC) The Signpost: 12 June 2013
