PS, I wouldn't worry about the sockpuppet allegation, it seems to me a product of bad faith and WP:BITEing a newcomer. Thanks for your well-intended contributions to the AfD debate. Best,--Amerique ^dialectics 22:46, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate your kind input Amerique. This biting did have an effect on me and I spent sometime avoiding this discussion page until I knew I was ready. Aboosh 23:25, 11 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Aboosh, I wrote on the discussion page of the AFD that I apologize for WP:BITEing a newcomer, but apparantly this does not really apply to you since you say you have already been editing for a long time [1].

In any case, I'm responding to what you wrote on the sockpuppet page about my assumption of bad faith, and I have already explained and apologized for that. The whole matter will be straightened out when both of you provide your IP addresses. The thing about assumptions of bad faith is that the whole thing is very reciprocal. It doesn't really help to go around accusing someone of bad faith while showing it to other editors. Here are some examples from your recent edits in which you showed bad faith.

• 1). You wrote: "Dear Beit Or, your attempts to Jewdisizing Wikipedia by including biased sites that explains Islamic issues about Islamic sites from an un-neutral point of view.Aboosh 01:19, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[2]". Just because you don't agree with someone's sources, it does not mean that they are biased. Please see WP:V for a description of acceptable sources. Also, a Jewish point of view (whatever that is) is acceptable on Wikipedia along with other points of view. "Jewish" is not a dirty curse word on Wikipedia, and shouldn't be anywhere, so please stop using it like one. Please see WP:CIVIL.[reply]

• 2). Here is another example of your assumption of bad faith: "Comment. Dear Amoruso, I think whats dubious is your intentions of writing this article in the first place. You cannot continue to shift your argument from the core of the issue like what you showed in your response to Ramellite. Your neutrality towards the issue is questionable. [3]" This was something like your third edit to the encyclopedia.

• 3) About this edit: "This is an issue that has to have an input from Islamic scholars ONLY. Also, Beit Or, Islam does not open a wide door for discussion and interpertations as many non-muslims wish for it to be.... So, this discussion must be ended [4]," please refer to WP:NPOV. Wikipedia is not a Muslim encyclopedia. If you want to participate in the project, you can't ignore Wikipedia rules, even on Muslim topics. Elizmr 23:31, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This was done and you and the other user are not using the same IP address. Sorry for the trouble and apologies for any discomfort you might have suffered. Take care, Elizmr 15:59, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Thank you Elizmr. Looking forward to a more constructive corraboration in the future. Aboosh 23:21, 11 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Aboosh. Sorry if your support to me at the Deletion page article caused you some troubles. We have a new AfD at [5]. If you would like to contribute, you are welcomed. Also, please enable your email I would like to email you. Almaqdisi ^{talk to me} 11:57, 11 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Thank you Almaqdisi for your input. This whole issue has given me an unwelcomed headache. I will activate my e-mail so that we can correspond. I went to the 2nd deletion nomination for the Third holiest site in Islam and found it locked, with speedy keep! I am shocked! This administrator has not given the proper time for the discussion to continue! Aboosh 23:22, 11 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The third AfD debate on the third holiest site is on again! Third time's the charm, I expect. Best,--Amerique ^dialectics 11:23, 17 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have been working on this page for a while now. I just created a separate page for full results. I did the same for Municipal elections. I am following the results as they come and updating them. I do not haave any full tally, just following results as they come on multiple site. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Louturks (talk • contribs) 22:34, 20 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I created the page for the Municipal results. I meant I spent the time creating the Municipal 2007 elections page as well. I did not create anything external. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Louturks (talk • contribs) 03:34, 21 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
