Hi Carol. Don't think we've had cause to communicate before. I've often seen your sterling efforts on the Libertarianism page. Just wanted to draw your attention to my contribution just now in the latest episode of the Irgun/Emanuel controversy. Last night felt threatened (with account blocking) by someone engaging in what's starting to look like a concerted effort to sanitize a public image and, further, rewrite history. Have suggested a compromise solution. Would be grateful to read your reaction to that suggestion. Regards [[User:Wingspeed|Wingspeed]] ([[User talk:Wingspeed|talk]]) 13:00, 11 November 2008 (UTC) |

Hi, Carolmooredc. |
|||
:I assume you mean last thing you wrote in talk? Obviously I prefer it as terrorist with all those refs and will keep adding the refs to anyone who throws in terrorist, as people keep doing, so no one can say I'm reverting :-) However, getting them to concede "paramilitary" is a first step in that direction, and maybe add words "attacked Arab and British targets" and may be as good as we'll get for the time being. By the way, I've run into 4 or 5 minor news resources that drew heavily from the article, some even admitting it! Carol Moore 22:11, 11 November 2008 (UTC) |
|||
I have seen this rather amusing barnstar floating around and cannot think of anyone who deserves it more than you do. You have continued to [[WP:NOTSUICIDE|Assume Good Faith]], and have patiently answered even the most hostile statements, long after anyone else would have lost patience and concluded that they were being trolled. Just for the record, this is no longer a gender-specific barnstar, but the irony of the original version is just too perfect. |

Thank you for the kitten, which I will move to my user page. If you mean that Wikipedia was dragging you in and that the ArbCom case is letting you try something else in your retirement, so be it.

Hi Carol, this message is in response to your recent edit to [[Hutton Gibson]]. Putting template tags at the top of an article without specific discussion tends to be unhelpful and should be generally avoided. In this case it was especially unhelpful since the article does have many citations already.

I got your contact from a comment you made back in 2008 about the organized pro Israeli groups that are working to suppress any information about the atrocities that Israel commit on a daily basis in Palestine. The autistic Palestinian man who was murdered in Jerusalem more than a month ago is being victimized again by the pro Israel editors by suppressing any information related to the incident no matter how neutral and reliable it is. Please see the article and the talking point at [[Shooting of Eyad al-Hallaq]]. I can't edit the article because it's subject to the 500/30 rule but you may be able to. Thank you. |

|||
:::You are right - but WP:UNDUE swings both ways. It's also against DELETING WP:RS material. [[Wikipedia:Undue#Undue_weight]] ''NPOV says that the article should fairly represent all significant viewpoints that have been published by a reliable source, and should do so in proportion to the prominence of each.'' Well, duh, one sentence on controversy over father's past hardly WP:UNDUE; deleting it '[''is''' WP:UNDUE. |
|||
:::And multiple WP:RS, including ones already used in the article, make an issue of his father's past ties, so especially POV to ignore them on this controversy. NPOV noticeboard next on my list to address this issue. Must be some neutral editor on one of them that's not afraid of having their career ruined by being called an antisemite or having JDIF list them on their Hate List of Wiki Editors.

::Yes, Carol, which is why I'm looking forward to your help with maintaining the information on [[Rashid Khalidi]] in '''his''' article. The difference between the two is that the sentence you quoted "and should do so in proportion to the prominence of each" is talking about the article's subject. Here, the article's subject was NEVER a member of the [[Irgun]], as opposed to Khalidi and the PLO. Bringing in excess information about the Irgun in an article on Rahm is MUCH more undue than bringing in the PLO (and we're not even discussing calling IT a "terrorist" organization, although I believe you should be in favor of that as well) in an article on [[Rashid Khalidi]].

Hi, Carol. I noticed you are very concerned about the JIDF, and rightfully so. However, doesn't data such as [http://judeosphere.blogspot.com/2006/09/get-yer-walt-mearsheimer-t-shirts-made.html this] imply that there should be the same worry about CAIR-sympathizers? I mean, politically-motivated edting appears on all sides of the Israeli-Palestinian divide, unfortunately. -- [[User:Avraham|Avi]] ([[User talk:Avraham|talk]]) 18:39, 23 November 2008 (UTC) |
|||
:Referencing things you had to search around the internet to find - as opposed to stuff obviously referenced directly on my web page I link to - is [[WP:Outing]]. Not to mention following someone's edits all over the place and commenting on them might be considered [[WP:harassment]]. (And saying someone sympathizes with any individual or organization - negative, positive or neutral - shouldn't be mentioned unless you find that on something they directly link to like their web page.) |
|||
:I have been reading [[WP:COI]] and it does appear that going to people's user page and asking them if they are employed or otherwise involved in some way that could cause a conflict of interest is the best first way to proceed, per my unanswered question. |
|||
:I certainly haven't hidden my Point of View under a pseudonym or first name only, and freely link to my home page so editors can complain about whatever they wilt, which they do from time to time. |
|||
:But if you read [[Wikipedia:COI#Defending_interests]] it states: "An entire article that presents as an attack piece or hostile journalism can be nominated for speedy deletion and will be removed promptly from the site" (sounds like [[Gilad Atzmon]]). And then continues: "On the other hand, the removal of reliably sourced critical material is not permitted. Accounts of public controversies, if backed by reliable sources, form an integral part of Wikipedia's coverage. Slanting the balance of articles as a form of defence of some figure, group, institution, or product is bad for the encyclopedia. This is also the case if you find an article overwhelmed with correctly referenced, but exclusively negative information." [[Rahm Emanuel]] article more a case of the former than the latter. |
|||
:This is why we need a truly neutral look for this article. That obviously didn't happen under the RfC:Bio for technical reasons. So better probably to just directly contact truly [[NPOV]] editor(s) through other means for comment. Carol Moore 18:55, 23 November 2008 (UTC) |

::Carol, you are mistaken on wikipedia policy on a number of accounts. Please let me explain: |
|||
::#It cannot be outing if it is on publicly accessible webpages under your real name which is also your wiki name [[image:face-grin.svg|25px]]. I believe ArbCom said as much itself, although that should be ''selbsverstandlich''. |
|||
::#As we have similar pages watchlisted, as can be seen from previous weeks of editing; that is certainly not harrassment; another policy you may wish to review. |
|||
::#Carol, there are reliable links between you and various political themes for which you have sympathy. May I refrence you to [http://carolmoore.net/articles/mideastissuesandemotions.html http://carolmoore.net/articles/mideastissuesandemotions.html] for an example? |
|||
::Be that as it may, I have no issues with you or anyone in particular, contributing to wikipedia, as long as they do so in accordance with policy and guideline. It just strikes me as somewhat interesting, that you would be so worried about the [[JIDF]] and [[CAMERA]] when, honestly, similar allegations could be made about you. |
|||
::In a nutshell, Carol, you are an obviously intelligent woman, with much to contribute to wikipedia, who also has some pretty strong political views. My advice to you would be to concentrate on what you can add to the project, and not looking for the conspiracy theorists in every corner. You can add much more to the [[WP:NPOV]] of the project by engaging in courteous dialogue, bringing sources, working to form a consensus, and abiding by the consensus, than you can by trying to stir the pot of conspiracy theory, make claims of censorship, and deny the legitimacy of those who disagree with you by the fallacious arguments of [[Guilt by association]] and ''[[argumentum ad hominem]]''. Feel free to ignore these words of advice, Carol, but I'd personally hope that you would act as a helpful balance in the Israeli-Palestinian area, than acting as an influence engaged in contributor and not content based editing. There are some editors, on both sides of the aisle, from whom I have despaired of anything resembling appropriate edits in this venue, some of which are no longer with project. My opinion of you, for what it is worth, is that you can add gainfully to the project, and this area.

:::There are questionable things that I think are up for debate: like the terrorist joke and the initial description of Irgun, that I can give on. But when repeated WP:RS info on questions about how much Emanuel's views/actions are influenced by the fact his name comes from at least one member of a known terrorist group and his father was another member who did who knows what besides pass secret codes to Begin, then I think one has to assume there is an attempt to squelch negative info. If I were to hear from a couple people who I considered NPOV that it was undue, fine.

I added the following text to the Irgun article. In light of all the whitewashing of the Irgun article due to Benjamin Emanuel's involvement in the organization, we should keep an eye out for it being erased. |

In 1948, the New York Times published a letter signed by prominent Jewish figures [[Hannah Arendt]], [[Albert Einstein]], [[Sidney Hook]], and Rabbi Jessurun Cardozo, which described Irgun as a "a terrorist, right-wing, chauvinist organization in Palestine". <ref>{{cite web |title=Wrestling With Zion: Re-thinking Jewish Tradition and the Ongoing Crisis in the Middle East |

Schulmann |page=350}}</ref> The letter went on to state that Irgun and the Stern gang "inaugurated a reign of terror in the Palestine Jewish community. Teachers were beaten up for speaking against them, adults were shot for not letting their children join them. By gangster methods, beatings, window-smashing, and wide-spread robberies, the terrorists intimidated the population and exacted a heavy tribute." <ref name=shatz>{{cite book |title=Prophets Outcast |author=Adam Shatz |pages=65-67}}</ref> |

:Dang, so many rules, so little time to figure out how they all work together!! Anyway, have deleted problematic material. So when can you ask someone if they have a conflict of interest if not when you are seeing problematic edits from them? Or have seen a long pattern that makes you wonder? Per [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Coi#How_to_handle_conflicts_of_interest]]: ''The first approach should be direct discussion of the issue with the editor, referring to this guideline. If persuasion fails, consider whether you are involved in a content dispute. If so, an early recourse to dispute resolution may help. Another option is to initiate discussion at WP:COIN, where experienced editors may be able to help you resolve the matter without recourse to publishing assertions and accusations on Wikipedia. Using COI allegations to harass an editor or to gain the upper hand in a content dispute is prohibited, and can result in a block or ban.''

::That's Wikipedia for you... get into anything heated and controversial, and they'll start throwing alphabet soup at you, and threatening to block you if you don't comply with all the rules (even though one of them is [[WP:IAR]], Ignore All Rules).

:::I read about some of your own adventures here, off wiki recently. Amazingly this is only second or third time I've been royally jumped on - for asking (name deleted) if he was employed by some organization that benefited from his stifling info about Israel Lobbying - esp. in the UK - from getting out. Unfortunately I did it after referencing a content dispute. But it is helpful to have alphabets to defend oneself, also :-) Though frankly I do consider wiki-editing an addictive vice and would be delighted if they kicked me off!! Ain't no fame and fortune in it. Maybe I'll go roust (name deleted) a few more times!! ;-) [[User:Carolmooredc|CarolMooreDC]] ([[User talk:Carolmooredc#top|talk]]) 02:41, 13 December 2008 (UTC) |

== [[David Abrahams (Labour party donor)]] == |
|||
Hello Carol. I notice you've been trying to uncover the mysteries of the [[OTRS]] system. My impression is that including the ticket number is only a way to get other admins who also happen to be OTRS volunteers to know what you are talking about. Since I'm not on OTRS, I have no idea either. I just want to comment on [[User talk:JzG|JzG]]'s actions in full protecting the redirect [[David Abrahams (Labour party donor)]]. |
|||
This is not the first time that admins have behaved cautiously with regard to the article of a high-profile potentially-litigious British figure who is often in the news. Since the money the Foundation can call upon to fight any legal cases is approximately zero, compared to the resources of any important person who we could wind up annoying, an instinct for self-preservation does apply at some point. I admit there is no formal policy, [[Wikipedia:Self-preservation]]. I won't link to all the details, but suffice it to say that the BLP issues around our article on the British lawyer [[Giovanni di Stefano]] were part of a well-known Arbcom case. The UK libel laws are different from the American ones. |
|||
After a little time passes, we might reconsider whether we still have to be so cautious regarding an article on Abrahams. Giovanni di Stefano's article seems to be open to general editing, and is no longer so sensitive. [[User:EdJohnston|EdJohnston]] ([[User talk:EdJohnston|talk]]) 19:08, 13 December 2008 (UTC) |
|||
:The reason I'm so exercised is that two editors involved in doing this (not JzG who both did the OTRS ticked and protected it against being redirected back to the article) also have been busy trying to gut the article about Israel Lobby in the UK. One of those editors is now being investigated as possible sock/meat puppet but is a powerful admin who keeps up his bad behavior despite repeated warnings and even sanctions. Also the fact that some of the same facts well-ref'd in the Bio aren't ref'd in the Donorgate article, makes me wonder if people are being sloppy or dissembling. Also one of them supports much nastier things on Bios with much less WP:RS. If JzG himself just said, "hey, we can't afford to mess with this guy right now" that would be more credible to me. But he also advances dubious arguments about biased sources only publishing bad things. So I'll give it til Tues or Weds and bring it before the [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Israel_Palestine_Collaboration/Current_Article_Issues| Israel Palestine collaboration page]] and decide if I should continue to push it. Meanwhile now that I know he exists he's going in the UK Lobby article, with a big fight over the WP:RS I have for it certain. :-) [[User:Carolmooredc|CarolMooreDC]] ([[User talk:Carolmooredc#top|talk]]) |

::Hmmm... but if people were to raise a bunch of money for wikipedia, it would feel more comfortable about such suits, wouldnl't they? Will pass that thought around [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Israel_Palestine_Collaboration/Current_Article_Issues| Israel Palestine collaboration page]] when post on this topic :-) Does wikipedia doe any publicity for itself by the way, including to encourage outside fund raising?

Hi, Thanks for your note regarding this redirect. While it is not the greatest idea to change the state of an article during a DRV, in this case I think a redirect is a good idea due to his mention in his son's article. The Deletion Review was about whether an article should exist not about a redirect and my closure was only saying that the closure was correct in deleting in the article. I saw the redirect when I closed the DRV (although I did not realise it had been created during the DRV) and think it is fine in this case.

The Working Man's Barnstar |
For being the "Last of the Mohicans"--one of the few women who has not been driven off the Gender Gap Task Force or the GGTF ArbCom case. |
Hi, Carolmooredc. I have seen this rather amusing barnstar floating around and cannot think of anyone who deserves it more than you do. You have continued to Assume Good Faith, and have patiently answered even the most hostile statements, long after anyone else would have lost patience and concluded that they were being trolled. Just for the record, this is no longer a gender-specific barnstar, but the irony of the original version is just too perfect. Regards, —Neotarf (talk) 13:50, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks. I actually looked up WP:NOTSUICIDE and I don't get it. As I asked at talk "Does it mean we can kick obvious trolls butts? Or that we should quit rather than commit suicide?" Carolmooredc (Talkie-Talkie) 13:56, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
- Ha, ha, enjoy. —Neotarf (talk) 15:01, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

Don't have energy to post separately. These are for those who have seen through the nonsense of the last six months, whether or not you have yet chosen to speak out.
Also feel free to delete any of those negative/nasty/harassing comments I always get if anyone leaves them here, since I probably won't be allowed to.
Your return is eagerly awaited !!!!
Loved the kittens !!! Lots of people eagerly await your return. IMO, you are getting the rough treatment because they were powerless to protect you from those out to harass you. So, they cover their own weakness in this way. What other option do they have ? In a way, I approve that you should leave, rather than suffer for contributing in a community which failed you with its inability to stop the harassers. Best.OrangesRyellow (talk) 15:24, 28 November 2014 (UTC)
- Being a glass half-filled optimist, I see reform as inevitable, even if I retire to my jacuzzi and my polo matches. Right...
Carolmooredc (Talkie-Talkie) 15:27, 28 November 2014 (UTC)
- Reform is inevitable. It is just a question of how many people must suffer, and be scapegoated/sacrificed like you, before the community comes to its senses.OrangesRyellow (talk) 15:50, 28 November 2014 (UTC)
- Hmmm, gives me yet another idea. A quickie video like on Talking Dead with the names of "this decades departed" scrolling by to dirge music with faded death masks as background. Of course, I'm sure there were a few who really did deserve it. I even supported one myself once! Carolmooredc (Talkie-Talkie) 16:23, 28 November 2014 (UTC)
A barnstar for you!

The Special Barnstar |
Please accept this barnstar in recognition of your attempts to change the current culture of Wikipedia. I hope you return with a renewed passion for the project and keep your sense of humour. In the meantime, do take a look at other open knowledge projects, there are plenty that deliver excellent worthwhile outcomes, not only encyclopaedias. Commons, for example, has far less self-feeding dramah and far fewer wikilawyers. Fæ (talk) 17:22, 28 November 2014 (UTC) |
Thanks
Thank you for the adorable kittens! I may have a dog now but I grew up a cat person and I still love them.
I wish things had worked out differently. I hope to see you back as soon as possible. Until then, may your days be filled with relaxation, happiness, and kittens. Ca2james (talk) 17:23, 28 November 2014 (UTC)

A pie for you!
![]() |
Many thanks for the adorable kitten you delivered to my talk page. I have used it as an ingredient in this delicious hot meat pie; please have a slice and take a moment to savour the taste and enjoy simpler pleasures. (Or, if vegetarian pies are preferred, you could leave this one for meat-eating friends.) I hope to see you back on Wikipedia sooner rather than later. Gender equality here needs all the help it can get - not to mention civility, neutrality, and other oft-ignored principles. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 17:54, 28 November 2014 (UTC) |
- Mucho gracias, senor naughty! Carolmooredc (Talkie-Talkie) 22:48, 28 November 2014 (UTC)
- One more. I am so sorry, Carol. Best wishes to you. --GRuban (talk) 01:16, 29 November 2014 (UTC)
Kitten
Thank you for the kitten, which I will move to my user page. If you mean that Wikipedia was dragging you in and that the ArbCom case is letting you try something else in your retirement, so be it. But if you choose to come back after your time is served, you won't be a septuagenarian, but still a sexagenarian. I can do the arithmetic as well as you can, except that I don't have to do the arithmetic, because I'm a '48er also. I'm not that far from you either in time or in space (only, evidently, in gender). My sympathies or something.
I suppose that, as a libertarian, you have very mixed feelings about the late Mr. Barry. What ward are you in? Robert McClenon (talk) 02:48, 29 November 2014 (UTC)
- Onward and upward and all that. I'm in ward 5. Met Barry in 1988 and he was definitely a charismatic figure. Carolmooredc (Talkie-Talkie) 04:44, 29 November 2014 (UTC)

I will do my best. Enjoy your Wikibreak. --The Vintage Feminist (talk) 15:31, 29 November 2014 (UTC)
Good luck
Good luck Carol. I entirely agree with Tarc's remark. I look forward to your return. -- C1cada (talk) 23:25, 29 November 2014 (UTC)
- Good luck Carol! I just saw the news of your ban, and find that rather unfortunate. We need more people voicing in a radical way critiques of gender equality on Wikipedia, and its a real shame that it came back to bite you. I didn't follow the conversation, but hope it doesn't discourage you from continuing in some capacity in shaping the Wikimedia community to better recognize harassment in the community. Sadads (talk) 19:52, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
- Will just drop here, for anyone interested, that Slate published an article today noting the incredible results of the arbitration, very negative piece. [1]--Milowent • hasspoken 20:01, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
- Interesting to see a summary from an external world view. I have added the link to Wikipedia_talk:Arbitration_Committee/Noticeboard#Wikipedia:Arbitration.2FRequests.2FCase.2FInteractions_at_GGTF_closed. --Fæ (talk) 20:36, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
- Hm, that's quite a solid source for an entry at list of Wikipedia controversies. Tarc (talk) 21:02, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
- FYI, I kept providing this link to editors and Arbitrators during Arbitration to show just how obsessed the media is with Wikipedia's gendergap, but they didn't believe me: Wikipedia gender gap-related Media hits. (Note: I only made the Slate-quoted comment after Arbcom voted to ban me.) Carolmooredc (Talkie-Talkie) 02:12, 12 December 2014 (UTC)
You haven't been forgotten
This member of WP:RETENTION, hopes you'll decide to return & Arbcom will reinstate you. GoodDay (talk) 20:04, 3 December 2015 (UTC)
- Still years behind on my own projects, so not going to be tempted to return for a while. Plus I'd rather wait til Mediation program significantly beefed up, with paid Mediators if necessary, so I don't waste time in stupid arguments. Hopefully new arbitrators more savvy on wide variety of GGTF-type issues. Carolmooredc (Talkie-Talkie) 12:00, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
- I agree with you and I hope that Arbcom reinstate you as soon as possible. You should never have been banned! :( 91.125.81.13 (talk) 12:14, 26 July 2017 (UTC)
Hi Carol. North8000 (talk) 10:49, 23 May 2017 (UTC)
Ping. How about putting an unblock request in your diary for sometime this year? --Fæ (talk) 10:13, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks for undoing redirect. I'm really busy on a deadline for a bunch of things, plus I have become more overtly politically active than I was during wiki editing years, so between the two don't need the distraction and temptation of editing, plus any resultant controversies! ha ha :-) Carolmooredc (Talkie-Talkie) 14:21, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
Shooting of Al Hallaq
I got your contact from a comment you made back in 2008 about the organized pro Israeli groups that are working to suppress any information about the atrocities that Israel commit on a daily basis in Palestine. The autistic Palestinian man who was murdered in Jerusalem more than a month ago is being victimized again by the pro Israel editors by suppressing any information related to the incident no matter how neutral and reliable it is. Please see the article and the talking point at Shooting of Eyad al-Hallaq. I can't edit the article because it's subject to the 500/30 rule but you may be able to. Thank you.
- Sorry I got kicked off six years ago for being politically INcorrect - i.e., snarky while being female. Carolmooredc (Talkie-Talkie) 08:26, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
Limited editing rights
I won't try to get back on wikipedia again as a full-service editor again for many reasons. But I come across SO MANY articles that are outdated now a days and do need Updating, it would be nice to have the Wiki-legal right to at least put a "this page needs updating" banner on top. Like this one. Prompt Global Strike Then leave it up to fate if anyone bothers. Carolmooredc (Talkie-Talkie) 16:48, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
- Carol, there's no such distinction available. Why not just ask to ask to come back fully and take a mellow pill and have some fun here with us? :-) Sincerely, North8000 (talk) 02:34, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
- Can't come back cause too much of own writing to do and if I came back I'd be tempted to do a little editing and then the problems would inevitably start with outraged male editors because of whatever excuse they got... Not getting any younger so gotta work on my own stuff, now that I'm retired with enough time and money to do it. Unless Biden and the bureaucrats figure out how to loot us oldsters.
