Thanks :)

Hey, Just wanted to say Thanks for helping resolve the issue over the "Jessie" article.

I simply did not understand where that guy was coming from in the fact that, that particular video was unreliable, since it came from the stars own mouth. Oh well. I don't know. Anyway, thanks for that anyway, much appriciated! :D XDebby (talk) 13:13, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard#Talk:The Dating Guy

Why did you accuse me of not reading the discussion? I agreed with you that the self-published sources should not be used. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 16:25, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

Well, I'm sorry that you feel I accused you. But the comment you removed was exactly the kind of answer I was looking for. I know I am right that the sources shouldn't be used. It's just that I feel rather alone in that pointless discussion on Talk:The Dating Guy and I was trying to gather some backup against those guys. I ended up posting to three different notice boards. Retracting my rude comment now. Elizium23 (talk) 17:02, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

June 2011

Please assume good faith in your dealings with other editors, which you did not on Hogwarts staff. Assume that they are here to improve rather than harm Wikipedia. The edit you reverted was completely and entirely good faith. At worst, it was a test edit. You very bluntly called it vandalism, which it was not. Vandalism, by definition, is in bad faith, and this edit was in good faith. I agree with the revision, but Twinkle has a button you can use to revert a good faith edit rather than violating Wikipedia policy and calling it vandalism. Nat682 (talk) 22:27, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

What in the world are you doing, hitting me with a third-level warning? And a bogus one, at that. As you can see from this editor's contributions, he was on a four-article vandalism spree. He was clearly acting in bad faith, the contents of the one edit at Hogwarts staff notwithstanding. In fact, I guarantee that he knew it was wrong, because at 00:27, I placed a warning template on his User Talk page for vandalism on Severus Snape. Seven minutes later, having seen the warning, he edited Hogwarts staff in bad faith. Please retract your warning. Elizium23 (talk) 22:35, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

the article will be made more encyclopedic as it goes along thanks. UrduChat (talk) 05:55, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

List of German expressions in English is encyclopedic because it is about expressions, not individual words. List of English words of French origin is similar to your article and in fact it is slated for transfer to Wiktionary, but apparently it has too many revisions to undergo the automatic process. As for your article, List of Urdu words and their origin, please leave the {{dictdef}} template in place. You should not remove maintenance templates placed in good faith by other editors. You need to add encyclopedic value now, not later, for this article to be included in the English Wikipedia. I suggest reading articles such as List of French words of Germanic origin and Arabic influence on the Spanish language for examples of good encyclopedic articles on words.

Would you consider changing your opinion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Collective salvation? The article has been completely rewritten and the AFD nominator has withdrawn his nomination.

Please adhere to a neutral point of view in your edits and summaries. Let me remind you that nobody owns articles on Wikipedia. Elizium23 (talk) 17:47, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

Hey, pot, the kettle called...I'm kidding. Just remember that NPOV goes both ways. I understand what you mean, especially on the last part about the priesthood. However, Corapi has not "announced intentions", he's flat-out saying that he resigned. See if you can tidy that up, maybe adding a clarification that he "can't resign" as a priest is ordained for life. It's kind of like people married in the church who get divorced and remarry. Church says they can't but they do it anyway. Should we edit check all wiki articles on those who were married in the church and were divorced civilly and now remarried by adding, "but in the eyes of the Church they are still married to..."? See what I mean? I'm not trying to browbeat you and I'll work with you on this, I just want it to be accurate.--Mike - Μολὼν λαβέ 17:57, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

Soy sauce

Your message at http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:61.23.51.246&redirect=no appears bizarre. I will deal with it step by step.

1) I did not "remove content", I corrected incorrect content. This product is not, and has never been, called "Soya sauce". I asked you to post a picture of it being called such from any supermarket or restaurant, and you have not.

2) Please refrain from using the word "vandalise" except in cases of vandalism, which this is not. If you like, I could actually vandalise this page to show you the difference? I'll refrain for now, though.

3) I lol'd at "anti-British POV". PROTIP: before accusing someone of having an "anti-British POV", it would behoove you to check that they are not British first. You didn't, I am, and now you look silly. I don't have an "anti-British POV", I have an anti-incorrectness POV.

Now, show me a picture of a bottle (any bottle, from any maker, I'm not picky) of soy sauce labelled "soya sauce" (no reverting to Photoshop though!) and I'll be happy to put the reference back in. Until then, it stays out. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 61.23.51.246 (talk) 14:49, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

I can understand this revert - though it was not against wikipedia rules - but this comment goes to far (typical for inexperienced users). Here you can find beautiful example of n-dashes with spaces around. This style you can find in numerous featured articles (for instance Angkor Wat#External links). There is no consensus in that case and look to the printed books. You should learn more about wikipedia rules, especially about the fifth pillar. Thanks.

The Defender of Orthodoxy

No, I am an ordinary editor and I have no power to verify copyright assignments. The people that need to be contacted are at permissions-en@wikimedia.org. Read the article I linked to you and it will explain it. They need to receive an email from the copyright holder, the web site owner. Merely posting on your talk page or offering to forward an email that you got isn't considered proof.

To add yourself to the EO WikiProject, visit Wikipedia:WikiProject Eastern Orthodoxy, find the "Participants" box, click "edit" and add yourself in a similar manner at the end of the list. It is very helpful if you watchlist the same page, because people often post items of interest to the associated discussion page. Elizium23 (talk) 00:22, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

Holy Spirit in Christianity

Hello Elizium23,

I’m wondered if you can carefully reconsider removal of “Holy Spirit according to Apostle Paul” post.

First of all, every denomination of Christianity adheres to their own interpretation of the Scripture, “combining published sources (e.g. Bible) in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say”. This does not prevent them from publishing their denominational views based on “our group believes” ground, rather than on the only reliable Source.

Please note that the section, you censored in, is called “Holy Spirit in Christianity”, not “Holy Spirit in Catholics”; elementary tolerance and common sense would prevent me from editing or posting in the denomination category which is not my own.

Second, the article, you deleted, does actually describe views of Apostle Paul as he was taught directly by the Holy Spirit and fellow Apostles. There is sufficient evidence in the Bible that Holy Spirit enters inside of a person (when the person is ready). There is sufficient explanation, what makes the person ready to receive the Holy Spirit... what can cause the person to lose this gift of God.

Therefore, I advice you repent and revert removal of the article. Would you still consider it unacceptable, please indicate exactly where and what portion(s) you are ready to argue about (even perhaps outside of wikipedia).

It is written that in the later days “all things shall be restored” (as it has been in the beginning).

God bless,

Emma Stone

Hi :) ! I saw you removed my edit saying "stale gossip" well it's not only gossip, it's a fact. Look here there are recent pictures http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2030440/Emma-Stone-Andrew-Garfield-enjoy-romantic-evening-Jim-Carrey-message.html?ito=feeds-newsxml. This website and US Magazine may not be the best reliable sources but what they say appears to be true. Are looking for a real statement from them or for a better website? I'd say for a lot of people's love life here on Wikipedia the sources mentioned aren't based on their own statements. Or do you think this kind of information should never appear in one's page? Sofffie7 (talk) 21:29, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

It is not information relevant to her career as an actress, and Stone is a person who dates several people in a year. If we undertook the task of reporting every time Emma Stone was found dating someone new, her 'Personal Life' biography would grow in disproportion to her noteworthy career. Other editors have removed reports from her love life before, and if you are really interested in introducing this kind of thing to the article, it is best starting the discussion at Talk:Emma Stone.

Concerning The Dating Guy Sources

You recently reversed my edit on The Dating Guy's page about Controversy. Citing that forums were not an acceptable source. However, the Policy does read: "Anyone can create a website or pay to have a book published, then claim to be an expert in a certain field. For that reason self-published media—whether books, newsletters, personal websites, open wikis, blogs, personal pages on social networking sites, Internet forum postings, or tweets—are largely not acceptable. This includes any website whose content is largely user-generated, including the Internet Movie Database, Cracked.com, CBDB.com, and so forth, with the exception of material on such sites that is labeled as originating from credentialed members of the sites' editorial staff, rather than users." Since Sohmer, the alleging party, primarily communicates through RSS feeds and his own forum site, this is the only access he have directly to him via mass media. I would respectfully wish you to consider this distinction and reposting the topic. If there are any other issues with it, please let me know so we can work something out. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ZetsuXIII (talk • contribs) 11:52, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

Hello. You appear to be involved in an edit war on Least I Could Do. While the three-revert rule is hard and fast, please be aware that you can be blocked for edit warring without making 3 reverts to an article in 24 hours. You are not entitled to 3 reverts and are expected to cooperatively engage other editors on talk pages rather than reverting their edits. Note that posting your thoughts on the talk page alone is not a license to continue reverting. You must reach consensus. Continued edit warring may cause you to be blocked.

Ownership/Stewardship

Thank you for retracting the addition to my talk page. As I'm sure you know, there is a difference between ownership and stewardship (WP:OAS). Someone keeping an watchful eye on non-contructive edits of stable articles is not "taking ownership." As the Bewitched television show has been very popular these past 50 years, there are many people who may want to put in their 2 cents and perspective on the article, but not necessarily many people with something constructive to add to it.

"Do not confuse stewardship with ownership. Wikipedia is the encyclopedia that "anyone can edit", but not all edits bring improvement. In many cases, a core group of editors will have worked to build the article up to its present state, and will revert unconstructive edits in order to preserve the quality of the encyclopedia. Such reversion does not in itself constitute ownership.."

Sorry if it seems like I'm beating a dead horse, but I have been inappropriately accused of taking "ownership" of the article before and want to clarify my perspective on the matter. Njsustain (talk) 17:44, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

2nd, the film history isi still messed up. One chart is within another chart. Thanks! 173.79.75.65 (talk) 17:30, 14 October 2011 (UTC)

The filmography tables look fine to me. Perhaps you need to clear your cache and reload. Try shift-control-R to reload the page fresh. Instead of {{helpme}} you should just put a note on the article's talk page. In this case, that is Talk:Raven-Symoné. At the top click "New section", write in a subject for the section name, and put your message there. If the article is semi-protected or fully protected so that you can't edit it, you can use the formal {{edit semi-protected}} or {{edit protected}} template to make a request.

Notes

Thanks for the wording—it's something I definitely need to improve on. Is there anything else I can cite apart from WP:Notability on the issue? Jayy008 (talk) 18:58, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

I did a search of the WikiProject TV archives and found people talking about WP:NOT - specifically, not a television channel guide, and not an indiscriminate collection of information. Also, one discussion suggested using "show/hide" CSS to collapse large lists of channels. Elizium23 (talk) 19:02, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

Ah, right. Thanks for your help. That "NOT" is definitely a good thing for me to refer too. Jayy008 (talk) 19:04, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

user talk:jayy008, it seems that everything regarding notability is regarding articles as a whole. Anything regarding sections? Jayy008 (talk) 19:19, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

WP:DUE concerns weight given to particular facts based on their WP:RS coverage. Elizium23 (talk) 19:31, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

Thank you! Jayy008 (talk) 19:34, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

GA review for Antoni Gaudí

I've completed the GA review for the Antoni Gaudí article. It's on hold pending changes. There's a fair bit of polishing I can help with, and I've sent a request out for a copy edit to help with polishing the prose (looks great over all, but some of the translation could be smoother). But your help would be appreciated, especially in inserting references where none are provided. I think by the time we're done with this process, it will be ready for an FA review and hopefully front page coverage as Today's Featured Article. Thanks for your hard work in getting this level-4 vital article looking so good. Lemurbaby (talk) 04:36, 18 October 2011 (UTC)

Great, thanks. I will do what I can. Elizium23 (talk) 04:41, 18 October 2011 (UTC)

Gaudi

Elizium - it looks like we're editing this article simultaneously right now. I have archived all the urls and got the "edit conflict" message when I tried to save it. So please don't do the url archiving part. When you're done with updating the harvard ref formatting, I'll come in and add the new url info. Lemurbaby (talk) 19:04, 18 October 2011 (UTC)

I will drop you a message when it's ready. Elizium23 (talk) 19:05, 18 October 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for your message on my talk page. I didn't intend to cut all of that dialogue out of the talk page - I don't know how it happened, but my computer keyboard has been dying the past week so it must have been a slipped key somewhere that selected and deleted all that text. If there's a way to recover it, we should try. Do you want to give it a shot? Thanks for bringing it to my attention. Lemurbaby (talk) 20:09, 18 October 2011 (UTC)

Leo XIII - my edits

First of all, that was an obsolete tag which has not been of any use for a considerable time, and second, I also corrected a bit of text. It, therefore, was a completely normal edit. I would ask you not to react to normal edits the way you did. It could be considered inappropriate and arrogant and as if you had nothing better to do on the Wikipedia than complain about other people's edits. --Krawunsel (talk) 11:31, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

I am not sure how you determined it was "obsolete". An editor has requested verifiability of an asserted fact in an article. These requests do not expire, as far as I am aware, unless you can point me to the policy which governs that. The normal thing to do with a challenged assertion that is this old, without a citation provided, would be to challenge and remove it from the article. Instead, you claim to correct it - how do you know the facts in this matter? Have you read a news article which reported the facts? Perhaps you would be so kind as to actually provide the citation requested in that case. Elizium23 (talk) 15:27, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

Invitation from the Guild of Copy Editors The Guild of Copy Editors invites you to participate in their November 2011 Backlog elimination drive, a month-long effort to reduce the size of the copy edit backlog. The drive begins on November 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and ends on November 30 at 23:59 (UTC). We will be tracking the number of 2010 articles (and specifically will be targeting the oldest three months), as we want to copy edit as many of these as possible. Barnstars will be awarded to anyone who copy edits more than 4,000 words, and special awards will be given to the top 5 in the following categories: "Number of articles", "Number of words", and "Number of articles of over 5,000 words". We hope to see you there! – Your drive coordinators: Diannaa, Chaosdruid, The Utahraptor, Slon02, and SMasters. >>> Sign up now <<<

Re copyright

I appreciate you responding however:

You cut out the other 95% of the article, which is emphatically /not/ taken from any of the sources you cite. Since all of the sources you cite have the same copy, you should have checked whether this was released as on authorized blurb by the PR team. If that's not acceptable, then, yes, a copyright violation has occured: for 3 sentences, not the whole article!

You didn't edit the talk page at all to show what and why you've changed (since effectively blanking an article deserves that, at least), and you didn't justify why you didn't remove the intro text-by your logic it too deserves a copyright check!

Your actions are heavy handed at best, but reflect poorly on commitment to quality, given that the template does not cite 2 of the 3 sources you claim are the owners.

The correct template to use is {{copy-paste}}, since it accurately refers to what's happened here: someone's lifted a paragraph from these sites, and it should be replaced.

Thegeneralguy (talk) 01:07, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

Correction: use the copy-vio for just the Plot section. Replacing the entire article is imprecise and wrong. Thegeneralguy (talk) 01:11, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

No, I didn't cut out the other 95% of the article: using a bare {{copyvio}} template can do that, but as usual, I used </div> at the end of the template to enable viewing of the rest of the article. And none of the clerks at WP:Copyright problems have complained before about my template usage, so your idea is new to me. And yes, I probably should have used the talk page. Elizium23 (talk) 02:53, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

The documentation for {{copy-paste}} implies that it should be used instead of blanking the copyrighted text. It says: If you have strong reason to believe that the source material is copyrighted, please instead follow the procedure at Wikipedia:Copyright problems. That is where it advises to use {{copyvio}}. I probably should have just reverted/removed the offending paragraph instead, because it was a recent addition.

Lizzie McGuire

Okay. It just I try to identify which TV show should fall to the feminist catagory, that's all. Please don't block me.--NeoBatfreak (talk) 22:33, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

You should really seek consensus and find reliable sources that support your assertions before you go adding categories to 15 articles at a time. I had to clean up ten of them and the mentions of feminism in the other five are tenuous at best. Elizium23 (talk) 22:47, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

Sorry, it just that I am still new at this "catagory" thing. I just created Category:Television series set in the Yuan Dynasty and Category:Television series set in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms with no apparent problems, so I guess I got carry away. Plus, I am a fan of feminist fiction, either movies or television series. --NeoBatfreak (talk) 22:53, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

That's fine. It looks like you started small and there is possibly less scrutiny on Chinese television series than on more popular American ones. I hope your category survives deletion, because I believe it is useful, especially if you can get some with sources. Elizium23 (talk) 02:17, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

I believe that there are alot of TV series around the world which has feminism theme. However, many have failed to identify it. I only can categorize what I'm sure of but the rest would hopefully up to the users. By the way, I assumes that you read A Weaver on the Horizon while you clean up what I've contributed. What do you think on the summary I've wrote, is it understandable? I ask because I typically has issues with grammer --NeoBatfreak (talk) 02:39, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Please be aware of Wikipedia's policy that biographical information about living persons must not include unsupported or inaccurate statements.

Pan Am (TV series)

Thanks very much for your work on the Pan Am article.

Pauley Perrette

Hiya, I am not really understanding this revert. What I did was just take out the redirect the previous user made. My link went directly to the section. Why did you revert that? - Neutralhomer • Talk • 17:47, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

The main reason I reverted it is because it removed the {{sortname}} template which is essential for sortable tables such as filmographies - see WP:FILMOGRAPHY. I did not notice that it was a redirect. Please read WP:NOTBROKEN about why links to redirects do not necessarily need to be "fixed" - but in this case, it would be possible to make the link direct without removing {{sortname}}. Elizium23 (talk) 17:55, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

Ah, gotcha. I actually thought the {{sortname}} template was just for sorting categories at the bottom of the page, to be honest. Which is another reason I was confused why it was used by the previous user. But, it's cool, we all got it worked out, the right link used, and everyone is happy. :) - Neutralhomer • Talk • 18:31, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

Wow, this is way different than WikiAnswers. I'm not too sure why I was warned for "overlinking". The other occupations were linked, so I felt that I wouldn't hurt to link the other two. Could you explain your reasoning for warning and reverting my changes? I know it is not a big deal, but I would just like to make sure I know for future reference.

Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by At32296 (talk • contribs) 19:44, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

The guideline is at WP:OVERLINK, have a read of it. In part, it states, Overlinking should be avoided, because it makes it difficult for the reader to identify and follow links that are likely to be of value. Unless they are particularly relevant to the topic of the article, Avoid linking plain English words. In general, you can ask yourself whether the term will be understood by casual readers not familiar with the music industry. Arguably, we don't need to link 'guitarist' either. But this is how the article has been for some time. If you feel these terms should be linked, post a note to Talk:Joan Jett and try to gain consensus. Elizium23 (talk) 19:56, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

I'm still not too familiar with posting on other users' talk pages, so I hope I am putting this in the right section.

Immaculate Conception of Saint John the Baptist

Well, now we have Immaculate Conception of Saint John the Baptist. Now we are getting incorrect info all over the place.... Do you want to correct it, or Afd it? History2007 (talk) 23:29, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

My first instinct is usually to tag the heck out of it... it is largely unreferenced. The most glaring problem to me was the claim about Orthodox belief... how did the Orthodox believe in this if they do not have the doctrine of Original Sin? Otherwise it is kind of new to me. The source provided is Catholic Encyclopedia article on the IC, and the section on John the Baptist seems to mostly deal with the feast day rather than any popular piety.

I am not an administrator, just another concerned editor who happens to be watching your talk page. In the interest of peace, if you intend to keep editing these same articles, you may want to consider using edit summaries, they really do help us distinguish the constructive from the disruptive. Anyway, he will not get far with administrators since you do not appear to be editing disruptively. Nobody is reverting your edits and this indicates acceptance by consensus.

Elizium, I suggest you educate yourself a bit more thoroughly before you declare that Neobatfreak is not being disruptive. There is a long history of problems and multiple editors who have tried to get him to follow a variety of standard procedures. Many of his edits have had to be reverted in long strings, and on many pages. And I'm not a male, but a female, who left High School behind 35 years ago and who works very hard on Wikipedia, writing and copy-editing and restructuring pages, bringing some up to GA and helping with FA status articles. I am not in the habit of making frivolous complaints, nor am I impatient. If I'm making strong requests that a user shape up, it's because that user really is causing problems. I appreciate your desire to help, and starting with encouraging this user to follow the most elementary procedures would be a good place to start. Thank you.--TEHodson 20:51, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

I am following WP:AGF. Elizium23 (talk) 21:04, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

I suggest that you make ample use of warnings to this user if his edits are so objectionable. It is the policy of Wikipedia administrators to require adequate warnings before a block can be issued. It would be a better use of your time to issue warnings about actionable offenses when you see them, rather than to complain about something that is not actionable. The use of Twinkle or Huggle is recommended for ease of use. Note that the template message for edit summaries {{Uw-editsummary}} is classified as a "notification" rather than a warning. Elizium23 (talk) 22:16, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

I and others have indeed made ample use of warnings, requests, outright begging, all to no avail. It's very seldom actionable behavior that drives content editors crazy--it's the exhaustion created by having to undo or re-do things by "editors" who don't know what the word means. In this case there is abundant energy and enthusiasm coupled with both the steadfast refusal to follow even the most basic, recognized-as-important procedures and either oblivion to consequences, or disinterest in them. Some of us work very hard here and get really tired of wasting time cleaning up messes or trying to interpret or disentangle other people's half-baked attempts at editing (not to mention the common persecution complex they develop when corrected). It is a systemic problem here, and one which drives away many good editors. Mostly I am patient. Today, I was not. --TEHodson 23:40, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi Elizium, I was wondering whether you'd be interested in doing a peer review, or if you had any comments? -- Marek.69 ^talk 16:32, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

List of people excommunicated by the Roman Catholic Church

It says in the article that Richard Williamson is a Holocaust denier — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.148.41.192 (talk) 19:09, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

Actually, it does not. Elizium23 (talk) 19:11, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

Williamson was found guilty of Holocaust denial in Germany in 2010 and fined about $14,000. He has previously denied the existence of gas chambers and the murder of 6 million Jews during the Holocaust.

I put an article that says this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.148.41.192 (talk) 19:12, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

Just because it can be sourced doesn't mean it belongs in every article. It gives the impression that the Holocaust denial contributed to the excommunication, which isn't the case. –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 19:19, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

People need to know it about him — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.148.41.192 (talk) 19:21, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

His article is linked, so people concerned may click the link and follow it to read about the controversy. Nothing is hidden in his article. But nowhere does it say that he himself is a "denier". Elizium23 (talk) 19:55, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

Pretty much. (Well, it does say that he's a Holocaust denier, but.) There are lots of things that could be said about him, but if they can't be connected, through sources, to the excommunication, they don't belong on that page. –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 23:33, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

Actually, it does not. It comments on his actions and says he has denied various things, but it does not label him "Holocaust denier". It does label some other people as such. Elizium23 (talk) 00:07, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

The IP's source said he was convicted of Holocaust denial, so I assumed the article said it as well. That'll teach me to skim! He was convicted of it but it's not in the article! –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 00:20, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

No wait, it is, but not in the section I was looking at. *fail* –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 00:21, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

I see, the article says he was convicted of "incitement" but the cited source makes it clear that the conviction was for Holocaust denial. Thanks. Elizium23 (talk) 00:47, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
