RfC on Alberuni
I've noticed you commenting on Alberini's rhetoric in a number of places. You might be interested in this: Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Alberuni Jayjg 22:32, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Minor edits
Josiah, if you make a change that was subject to an edit war yesterday (namely, removing the propaganda category from Hasbara), please don't mark it as minor. Thanks. Gadykozma 15:53, 15 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Gotcha. Sorry bout that.--Josiah 15:59, 15 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I hope this is just an effort to bait someone. Yes, probably there are a few (very few) pro-Palestinian POV warriors on Wikipedia, but in a year here I haven't encountered a single editor I'd characterize as a "Jihadist": is there someone you have in mind, or is this just a blanket accusation? -- Jmabel | Talk 02:53, Oct 21, 2004 (UTC)
- It is basically baiting. On certain forums I was on, I had gotten tired of a person who refused to mention the word "Israel" and constintely used the word "Zionist" in a demeaning and negative sense, which of course halted any conversations thanks to percieved personal attacks. In a cynical way I was showing Alberuni the same thing, due to his usage of the word "Zionist" in nearly every edit he makes. I was a bit peeved. I don't claim that it was the best thing to do in the circumstances, and I may have to take a temporary break from wikipedia if his personal attacks don't relent.--Josiah 03:14, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Arabic spelling
Not sure how you'd spell your name, but probably يوشاياهو. - Mustafaa 14:38, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Thanks! The Hebrew is יאשיהו (yud-aleph-shin-yud-heh-vav), if that helps.--Josiah 15:10, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)
