replies: text: This is not a good argument in favor of notability. At the very least, he must be discussed in multiple independent reliable sources. Beit Or 08:21, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: In any case, an AfD is the way to go, not this tag. --Aminz 09:20, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Both are possible. If some editors believe that the subject of this article is nonnotable, this concern must be recorded. Please do not give instructions to other editors. Beit Or 10:25, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: But the tag is a waste of time if you don't follow it up. It is supposed to indicate that there is an issue to resolve, not sit there permanently.  Alex Middleton 19:18, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

message: An anonymous IP which resolves to Cairo removed the entire section on the Horowitz lawsuit, could someone address that edit, which I have reverted?  Corvus cornix 20:31, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Lawsuit section

message: I only noted this was a protected site after editing the page. If I have acted improperly, whoever is protecting the site can, unless they intervene directly, drop me a note and I will revert the edit (innocuous enough, perhaps, but one never knows).

replies: text: I don't know what Bigleaguer did above, and whether the deletion of the quote was deliberate or inadvertent. In either case, his/her subsequent comment makes no sense in the absence of the quote, so I have restored it. The comment still does not make much sense, but at least now we can see what wqas intended. RolandR 15:01, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Recent edit 

message: The Talk page of a Wikipedia article is to discuss how to improve and edit the article, not to make personal attacks.  I am going to start pruning out the non-germane discussions here, if they don't desist.  Corvus cornix 22:57, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: What would I be censoring, other than personal attacks and animosity?  Corvus cornix 23:20, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Warning

message: Something should be said about his public role as president of MESA.  I'm sure the man knows quite a bit about working-class Marxists in Egypt in the first half of the 20th century, but as the president of MESA in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, he was utterly incapable of connecting with the broader American public or influential public figures to explain what the role or function of middle east studies within U.S. society should be, and this helped set the pattern whereby professional middle-east studies academics were pretty much sidelined and irrelevant in U.S. public policy debates, except for a few vocal polarizing figures such as Juan Cole, who attracted intensely bitterly partisan controversy.

thread_title: MESA presidency

message: This writer detests David Horowitz. But I'd like his ideas to speak for themselves. To label his work a 'diatribe' is POV and propaganda, not information. It's the sort of thing I'd expect from......David Horowitz!
