hi Ari89 what is your recommendations about Wesam Abd Allah page Mfarouk1984 (talk) 12:25, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have been away and have just caught up on the discussion - I just want to say I appreciate your bringing a reasonable and well-informed perspective to the encyclopedia and hope you will keep contributing and improving articles. Slrubenstein | Talk 22:07, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot for that. I am glad you are back so that there would be a third opinion on the article! It seems like it is going to be difficult striking a balance between contemporary debate and agenda pushing. --Ari (talk) 11:41, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It would help if you could draw more people into the discussion - it is at articles like these, that have very few active editors, where you discover that for all its size and glry, Wikipedia actually has a small base of editors with narrow expertise and not enough well-informed people or people capable of real research to work on these kinds of articles. Th only other thing you can do is be patient, and focus more on improving the article than arguing on the talk page. Discussion helps only when i tis with open-minded or understanding people, it becomes pontless when it turns into argument. Slrubenstein | Talk 17:51, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ari, I know you think you're defending the integrity of WP, but please tone it down a notch or two. Don't be an obstructionist. Let's all play nice together. Leadwind (talk) 04:08, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If the claims were true I would be quite the obstructionist, wouldn't I? --Ari (talk) 06:45, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ari, I have been reviewing your edits. For what it is worth my opinion is 1)obstructionist-no; 2) Great Editor-Yes. - Ret.Prof (talk) 03:29, 7 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that :) --Ari (talk) 04:01, 7 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am not keen on an edit war, but if you want to keep on adding "apologist" as a profession to Ahmed Deedat, please discuss it on the talk page. If you don't consider him as a scholar, that is fine, but please do not remove something that is sourced to reliable source like "Dawn" and replace it with dubious fringe souces like as you did on your last edit there.
