[edit] Rhodesian / South African articles
I think you should very seriously consider your own point-of-view before quickly moving to overwrite others' work. Wikipedia is not a place for the rewriting of history to a particular bent; it is for a neutral, open version of it. In the Rhodesian Bush War article, the terms "guerilla fighter" and "nationalists" are compromises between more extreme terms such as "terrorist" and "freedom fighter". Calling police work "oppressive" is also decidedly to your own point-of-view. michael talk 01:11, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
"Wikipedia is not a place for the rewriting of history to a particular bent"
correct. nevertheless, the Rhodesian Bush War-article is composed the way it is. --Severino 01:21, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] For vandalism related to Hrant Dink
Thanks Severino for considering me. But, I suppose, it would be better if you refer to this page for vandalism and blocking issues. Regards, Shyam (T/C) 06:29, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
thanks, shyam! --Severino 12:33, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
