	I did indeed state the reason in the Talk Page. I removed Nick Cohen's name, as he has stated explicitly that he is not Jewish. I assume that he was included because someone took it for granted that anyone named Cohen is Jewish. And it does not appear to me that you have reverted the removal, or made any comment on the talk page. ] 18:22, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

	: It is perfectly NPOV. I quoted the gist and the conclusion of an article in Ha'Aretz.

	:: Please check again. I edited the article, to introduce new information and correct stylistic errors. It was reverted three times by edirtors who I believe to be acting in concert. I reverted twice only. I then edited to remove an unrelated comment. The final edit was to add just part of my original edit; the true, and documented, statement that "East Jerusalem was illegally annexed by Israel in 1980". I note that this has now been edited by a further editor, to remove the word "illegal", which is used explicitly in the UN document which I cited. I have read the rules, and I don't believe that I violated 3RR.] 09:13, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

	::: Sigh. I suppose I'll have to spoon-feed you. The rules clearly state that unrelated reverts count. So removing the unrelated comment counts. As does restoring only part of your edit ] 15:24, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

	::I don't appreciate your condescending tone, and I really don't understand. The unrelated edit was not a revert. You seem to suggest that three separate, unrelated, edits to an article would lead to blocking. But the policy clearly states "if an editor makes three separate successive edits, each of which reverts a different section, but with no intervening edits by other editors, this is counted as one revert". Thus my removal of one comment, which I had previously not edited, and my addition of another within half an hour should not be counted as two reverts. These were separate, unrelated, edits.] 22:45, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

	==Help please==

	Hi Roland. I reformulated the election issue incoporating the information from the article you provided. Isarig has reverted my edits citing a bunch of non-sequiter stuff I can't really follow. Would you mind looking at the previous version and editing it appropriately (if it needs such editing)? Additionally, I would appreciate your insight on the discussion on the talk page. Thanks. ] 11:38, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

	Dear RolandR. Thanks so much for your message and help in locating sources. I scanned the document you sent in Hebrew (though I have to admit, my Hebrew skills are rather poor, since I studied at the university level in North America in English). So I defeinitely would appreciate a translation of the relevant sections. By the way, I love your user page (content and design wise!) ] 13:21, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

	== wikEd ==

	]

	Hi, I have seen that you are using the ] extension. This program is no longer actively maintained in favor of its much more powerful successor ''']'''.

	'''wikEd''' has '''all''' the functionality of the old editor '''plus:''' • syntax highlighting • nifty image buttons • more fixing buttons • paste formatted text from Word or web pages • convert the formatted text into wikicode • adjust the font size • and much, much more.

	Switching to '''wikEd''' is easy, check the detailed installation description on its ]. Often it is as simple as changing every occurrence of ''editor.js'' into ''wikEd.js'' on your ] page.

	] 22:07, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

	Thanks Cacycle. I had some difficulty installing it over the previous editor, and eventually had to remove that first and then install wikiEd. It seems to be OK now, I look forward to trying it out. It certainly looks a lot friendlier and easier to use than the old editor. --] 12:46, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

	== Plaut email ==

	Hi, for the record I don't think Plaut's email about the address list is particularly encyclopedic, and the source (copy of mailing list posting) doesn't seem to satisfy the guidelines at ]. I have no doubt it is true, but rules are rules. It would be different if the episode was published in a recognised magazine. --]<sup><small>]</small></sup> 00:58, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

	== David Bukay ==

	Roland, I strongly urge you to read ] and ], and consider in particular the implications of the latter for your editing on ]. Also, plagiarism is unacceptable on Misplaced Pages. ]<sup><small><font color="DarkGreen">]</font></small></sup> 21:09, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
	:I have read it, and I don't see the relevance to my edits of ]. I note the statement that "the BLP policy that he cites in defense of his position specifically states that if an allegation or incident is notable, relevant, and well-documented by reliable published sources, it belongs in the article — even if it's negative and the subject dislikes all mention of it", and would suggest that this reflects on those who are removing the materia;l that I have added. And I really don't understand the allegation of plagiarism. I am quoting and acknowledging sources; if you think this is plagiarism, then nearly every Misplaced Pages editor is guilty in nearly every article.--] 23:32, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

	:I can't find a Misplaced Pages policy statement on plagiarism. However, I think we all know what it is. To quote ], "Plagiarism is the practice of 'dishonestly' claiming or implying original authorship of material which one has not actually created, such as when a person incorporates material from someone else's work into their own work without attributing it". I have been meticulous in my citation of sources, and the accusation of plagiarism is simply a red herring, raised in order to remove unpalatable quotations from the artyicle.--] 00:42, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
