Talk:Saeb Erekat

message: Jaakobou I'm not going to revert them, in order to avoid further wranglings, but it might be worth pointing out that your recent series of edits have had the effect of - duplicating material relating to his resignation from Abbas' cabinet, which was already in the "Chief Negotiator" section; duplicating the BBC profile as a reference (it was already there); introducing a sentence that refers to him quitting a "post" which is not defined beforehand; and introducing the phrasing "a loyalist of Yasser Arafat" which doesn't really work that well, and isn't commonly used. I'll leave it up to you to sort out. --Nickhh (talk) 16:45, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, can you please sort this out and tidy up your mess, instead of spending your time edit-warring across other pages and posting tired arguments up on MedCab pages? Yet again you are running around accusing anyone and everyone of disrupting Wikipedia, using it as a battleground, or soapboxing etc .. yet those criticisms would seem to be far better applied to you. --Nickhh (talk) 12:48, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  If you bring the article back to this version + the totalydisputed tag, we won't have a version conflict. JaakobouChalk Talk 13:17, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

text:  Huh? What "version conflict?"? I'm just asking you (three times now!) to tidy up the slight, but nonetheless obvious, mess you've made of an otherwise uncontentious part of the article. Are you refusing to do that? Who's being "disruptive" now? --Nickhh (talk) 15:36, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

text:  Please stop mucking up this encyclopedia, whether through blatant POV warring, or even more oddly - at least the former makes some strange sense as Hasbara - through duplicating material and references, and then refusing to tidy up that mess when it's pointed out to you perfectly politely. --Nickhh (talk) 15:58, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: There's a problem on the article with more than one section. I am not planning on going deep into it until we resolve the current controversy mediation/problem. I'd request you refrain from making heavy changes also. JaakobouChalk Talk 16:02, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

text: p.s. if I've missed some gross error, you can be WP:BOLD and correct it. It's not like you're new to reverting my edits. JaakobouChalk Talk 16:04, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

text:  Other people have to spend way too much time as it is clearing up all the sh#t you leave lying around, I thought I'd give you the opportunity to use the pooper-scooper yourself this time. But since you refused to, I'm now more than happy to leave these mistakes (and they are genuine mistakes, which you introduced very recently) in there as a momument to both your ineptitude and your stubbornness. --Nickhh (talk) 16:15, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Recent changes to Political Career sub-section 

message: On Wikidata, an IP posted the following on :d:User talk:207.228.62.140 (I deleted that page, as this misplaced comment was its own content):
In the page on Saeb Erekat, it gives three different birthplaces. East Jerusalem, Abu Dis (which is not, as implied, a part of Jerusalem) and Jericho. They can't all be true. Second, he claims to be native Palestinian for thousands of years, but on the Facebook page for the Erekat clan, it is shown that they are from the Howeitat region of Saudi Arabia. So care needs to be taken in terms of what is said about him.
Please check. Thank you. --YMS (talk) 08:36, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

replies: text: We already had this argument between ourselves above. This RFC is specifically for outside voices to voice their opinions. Glide08 (talk) 15:14, 12 November 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Generally speaking the participants in prior discussions do weigh in on an RFC; first, doing so allows them to present their arguments to new arrivals, and second, while attracting outside voices is part of the role of an RFC, it's also supposed to gather the overall opinion on the article, which includes people who are knee-deep in the dispute. People shouldn't, like, repeat the entire argument, but it's normal for them to weigh in and briefly state their position. --Aquillion (talk) 22:17, 12 November 2020 (UTC)

replies: text: This looks like a professional (for 1991) informative video that would do nicely in the EL section. My only concern is the video is copyrighted. The video was just uploaded to Youtube on October 31, 2023. I'm unsure how long it takes Youtube's copyright check-software to flag videos, if this had been on the site for a substantial amount of time (and not flagged) I would be more comfortable with adding it. Does anyone else have concerns about this? Regards,  Spintendo  04:45, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
