 * 1) arab-israeli is a long-running conflict between certain countries
 * 2) original members (founders) of Arab League have attacked Israel
 * 3) some people feel involved: Many more people in other countries feel involvement in the conflict, for reasons such as cultural and religious ties with Islam and/or Arab culture, Christianity, Judaism, or for ideological or strategic reasons; these include countries such as Iran, the European Union, and the United States.

I think the map should stay, but I wouldn't have a problem with changing it, for instance we could show all the Arab nations in one color, then we could also have like lines or dots or something in the nations that have contributed to the conflicts against Israel- (Jordan, Syria, Egypt, Iraq, Saudia Arabia) and then another different set of lines through the nations who have only nominally contributed to the conflict- (Algeria, Morroco, Sudan, Tunisia, Yemen, and Oman). Anyone agree, and does anyone know how to do this in photoshop?- Moshe Constantine Hassan Al-Silverburg | Talk 10:32, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

By the way although I agree with Loki about the complexitites of the conflict involving many people in many nations, but I also think it should be obvious that that would be impossible to show on a simple map, and that it is practical to show the nations involved.- Moshe Constantine Hassan Al-Silverburg | Talk 10:34, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

 * I disagree with your suggestion on an alternative map, there are already plenty of maps below that show various arrows into Israel. Furthermore, as I said, this is NOT a country versus country conflict, but more accurately a people versus a people conflict.

Lokiloki 20:05, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Replacing it with a map of the west bank settlements won't help. I'll continue to argue that isn't NPOV, because it shows more than the basic, agreed geographical and political facts. I think a plain map of the geography of the region is the way to go (or no map at all above the article contents) Nloth 05:34, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

Factual accuracy disputed: Citations needed
Can someone please provide verifiable, well-sourced, and concrete citations for the following:

i. That the State of Israel "has maintained that an exchange of population had occurred, and that the Jews fleeing Arab countries constitute refugees equivalent in status to the estimated 750,000 Palestinian refugees forced to live in refugee camps in the Middle Eastern countries." (under Jewish refugees section)

ii. "Some, but not Israel itself, consider that Israel complied with this sense of the resolution when it returned the Sinai to Egypt in 1982." (under Israel is forced to fight in self-defense). As well, please clarify if "some" indicates other states, as this sentence suggests, or just "some people".

iii. "Israel's refusal to consider large-scale resettlement of Palestinian refugees is also based on the continued refusal of Arab nations to compensate Israeli Jews of Arab origin."

Please provide verifiable citations for the previous statements, particularly those that are characterized as being actions or policies of the State of Israel (rather than just some people within the state).

I haven't found any documents that suggest that Israel currently maintains that a population exchange occurred, that Israelis or other states believe that compliance with UN resolutions was fulfilled by returning Sinai to Egypt, and that Israel bases the Palestinian refugee refusals on Arab nations not compensating Israeli Jews (how is that possible, given that Palestinians have no control/influence/say over what other Arab nations do).

Given the sensitive nature of this topic, it is incumbent on all statements of controverted facts to include verifiable references.

Lokiloki 10:19, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

I don't have time to reference it myself but I will say that I find your selection somwhat odd, as most of what you are disputing is considered common knowledge among historinas of the period. Right wing Israelis constantly refer to the events following the 1948 war as a population exchange, that Arab nations were no more justified (or even less so) gin forcing the Jews out, as the Israelis were to force the Palestinians out. Probably most Israelis think that UN opposition to many of their policies are unjustified considering various steps they have taken towards implementing peace. and for your thrid point You could also say that Jews don't have influence over what Israel does, in a wider scope it is an ethnic conflict between Jew and Arab, just like Greece absorbed emigrant Greeks, and Turkey absorbed emirgrant turks following various conflicts between those two nations.- Moshe Constantine Hassan Al-Silverburg | Talk 11:18, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

 * "Right wing Israelis" is quite different than the State of Israel, as the reference claims.

 * Again, for all of these points, I am disputing their factual basis. "You could say" and "probably" is insufficient evidence.  It may be the case that all of these points are correct, but I imagine, as you say, that it will be, for example, "right wing Israelis" and not Israel itself that makes some of these assertions.  So, once citations are provided we can better reflect the facts of these claims rather than unsubstantiated blanket assertions such as these.  To know that, for example, these assertions are borne from right-wing settlers, for example, presents these arguments in a very different light than saying that "Israel" asserts them.

 * I think we can all agree that we want to deal in facts. I am careful to fully document all of the additions I make, and we must insist that all other claims herein that are controverted are also documented.

I have changed the disputed tag to a citation needed tag as you are really the only one who has raised doubt, and I think it would be more appropriate.- Moshe Constantine Hassan Al-Silverburg | Talk 11:29, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

 * That is inappropriate. Please keep the tags that I have included and please read the reference for the criteria : it says "if you [singular] come across a statement which seems or is inaccurate".  I came across 3, and I am disputing them.

 * Please also note the criteria for removing those warnings on that page: "Don't remove the warning simply because the material looks reasonable: please take the time to properly verify it."

 * If you wish to remove them, please follow the instructions and first verify them.

 * Lokiloki 11:35, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

 * I'm stepping in with some Wiki policy here, see WP:CITE, quoting:

When there is a factual dispute

Disputed edits can be removed immediately and placed on the talk page for discussion, or where the edit is harmless but you dispute it and feel a citation is appropriate, you can place after the relevant passage. This should be used sparingly; Wikipedia has a lot of undercited articles, and inserting many instances of is unlikely to be beneficial.

Using Fact might be a little more polite than what you are doing. I know that you are likely to say that the passages you are disputing are not "harmless", but I would ask you to ask yourself what harm they will cause by being there with a little citation requested tag??? elizmr 14:46, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

Also, please refer to the top section of the link you pointed to [Wikipedia:Disputed statement] which reads:

The accuracy of a statement may be a cause for concern if:

* It contains unlikely information, without providing references. * It contains information which is particularly difficult to verify. * It has been written (or edited) by a user who is known to write inaccurately on the topic.

I do not think the things you are tagging are meeting these criteria.
 * The information is felt to be "common knowledge" by another editor here, and has been here a long time on a very contentious page; it may not be properly cited, but it is not clearly "unlikely"
 * The information is not likely to be particularly difficult to veryify
 * No evidence that it was inserted by a user known to write inaccurately on the topic

This is another reason I would argue that the less severe request for citations would be a more collegial to ask for citations rather than using the tags you are using. elizmr 14:57, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi Elizmr:

Today I am very tired. Ugh. I needed more sleep.

Anyway, I do think that 2 of the statements contain unlikely information: namely, that Israel itself maintains that a population transfer occured. This may be an opinion of the the right-wing, but not of the State itself. Same for the other one. Yesterday, I did indicate one of these statements as Fact rather than

Lokiloki 19:00, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Hi Lok. Sorry you are tired.  I would only say  (as I said above) that although you disagree there is not a consensus among editors that these are unlikely points of information.  Given this, you might have considered taking a less extreme and approach.  It is not a big deal.  There are cites for this stuff and editors will supply them.  I just want to say that I have been watching this page for a few months and I have been really impressed by the overall tenor of the discussions here and the degree to which conversation rather than confrontation has been used to improve the article.  There usually hasn't been an NPOV tag on the article.  elizmr 20:22, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Apparently you are not watching closely enough. I did not place the NPOV and do not consider these these to be POV but consider them to be dubious, uncited assertions.  There is no need to right with me day after day like this.  Lokiloki 20:47, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

 * L--Hey, I never said you put a NPOV on the article. I am just saying that things have been non-contentious on this page for the most part and that makes it pleasant to contribute here.  I'm suggesting the way you are tagging stuff "dubious" is more confrontational than it really needs to be to get the job done.  elizmr 21:05, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

Man, Wikipedia is slow today. I understand your point, but at the same time I don't really see questioning the validity of claims to be confrotational, per se... well confrontational to the assertions, but not to any editor. There is a reason that the {dubious} tag exists: I want to impress upon others the veracity of the assertions themselves, and indicate that I am not simply requesting a citation, but proof, for example, that Israel has those policies. The Sinai point is probably accurate, so I marked it as {fact} needed... but the other two do not appear to be valid and therefore I used those tags to indicate such. I think this is helpful for other editors adding the citations...

I will also point out that an even more confontational approach would have been if I had deleted the assertions immediately, as is warranted under the {dubious} policy, and as many editors and admins regularly do elsewhere. I didn't do this, but marked them as such (nhot at the top of the page, but after each sentence itself), and brought the discussion here.

I don't know how much more can be obtained from continuing to debate this editing policy, rather than the facts themselves. Look at the amount of text and argument that these edits have generated... I followed the guidelines clearly. Let's find some citations and discuss those, or lets remove the assertions in time... but let's not wallow so much in editing that is used without (too much) controversy pretty much everywhere by many others, and which is a policy according to the {dubious} page itself.

Please don't assume that I am operating in anything but good faith.

Lokiloki 21:24, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Lokiloki, I think you misunderstood my edits when you reverted them. I never meant to suggest that many Jews didn't leave arab nations voluntarily, they chose to leave because of the hostile climate.  I also thought I made it clear that part of their reason to leave was because of hope of prosperity in Israel, although since 1/3 didn't go to Israel it should be clear that that wasn't the only reason they left.  I re-inserted my edit but with some modifications to make it clear that it was voluntary.

 * Also when I said right wing Israelis bring the population exchange thing up I didn't mean they were the only ones, also I also didn't mean radical right wing, but I also meant even moderate right wing which would include many governments, (but even labour governments support ths position I found out).- Moshe Constantine Hassan Al-Silverburg | Talk 01:07, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Well, it really doesn't seem as though you indicated that sometimes the exodus was really voluntary when you indicated that this volunteering was coerced. "Coerced into volutary leaving" is a contradiction. To change the section to read that the "Jewish population in Arab countries fled, were expelled, or were coerced into voluntarily leaving their homes" indicates that it was one of 3 reasons why Jews left: It is POV to characterize all Jewish exodus as only consisting of fleeing, expulsion, or coercion. Even the data at Jewish exodus from Arab lands indicates, for instance, that Bahrain Jews "left"; in Morocco, where Jews maintained ministerships, etc, they "emigrated". It is POV to characterize ALL leaving Jews has having done so under fleeing, explusion, or coercion. I am characterizing this as disputed until we can clear up the language.

As for the population exchange, the way it currently reads is that the state of Israel maintains this position. I doubt this, and, if it is an official position, it should be cited.

I also find significant bias in that you just changed the Palestinian refugees section to read that they "left" Israel. Come on, can you please try to be NPOV? Here you are claiming that all Jews fled, were expelled, or coerced, and then you change the Palestinian refugees as having "left" Israel. Please.

Lokiloki 01:17, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

I changed it to

"were coerced by the Arab governments, or voluntarily left their homes because of an increasing climate of hostility"

But I disagree that is a a contradiction to be coerced into leaving voluntarily. Coerced doesn't mean you were forced to leave per se just encouraged, the final decision still rests with you. Know what I mean?- Moshe Constantine Hassan Al-Silverburg | Talk 01:30, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

NPOV Dispute
I am hereby classifying this article as POV. Moshe's continual assertion and editing to indicate that Palestinians "left Israel" is POV. It is POV to represent the expulsion and flight of Palestinians as having "left Israel". This article will remain as disputed until this statement properly reflects the fact of the eviction and flight of Palestinians after the 1948 Arab-Israeli war. To somehow make this eviction more benign by using words like "left" would be akin to saying that the Cherokee's left along the trail of tears.- Loki

I sorry Loki but you are clearly confused in this situation, The only place I added "left" is in reference to the absentee property act, I dont believe that the Palestinans simply left Israel and I'm not asserting it. The law however doesn't only include Palestinans who fled Israel, but also Palestinans who simply "left" at any point in the nations history. If your going to make a fuss over it I will add remove it until you calm down and realize what I actually am saying.- Moshe Constantine Hassan Al-Silverburg | Talk 01:55, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Okay... I have removed the NPOV and changed the wording of the sentence to reflect what you are saying. Lokiloki 01:56, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Thank you, in the future maybe you could ask me to clarify before you jump to a conlusion.- Moshe Constantine Hassan Al-Silverburg | Talk 01:58, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Okay... just realize it came on the heels of another editing issue. Lokiloki 02:04, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

 * LokiLoki, could you please take more care with your editing - including reading other bits of talk? Moshe and I had been having a discussion about NPOV of this article for a day or so (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Arab-Israeli_conflict#NPOV) and you've made it very difficult to figure out exactly what we are both trying to say because of your large number of (somewhat confusing) edit. Thanks. Nloth 06:08, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Why Comparative statistics?
The "Comparative statistics" table is interesting, but I'm unsure why those statisitcs are relevant to the conflict?

GDP/capita seems somewhat relevant to the potential of each country to sustain themselves in a war, but surely things like "size of armed forces" and "% of GDP spent on armed forces" are more relevant than "Freedom House Rating"?

I'd like to see the whole section removed, or perhaps moved o a page comparing the geo-political development of various middle-eastern countries. It just doesn't seem to add much to this article. Nloth 04:48, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

 * It would be useful to replace it with a graph comparing military power between Israel and Arab neighbors, particularly to ameliorate the POV geo-political map (which makes Israel look very "small"). Lokiloki 21:31, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
 * It sounds to me like you are trying to impose your own POV. Are you claiming that the map is inaccurate? —Viriditas | Talk 22:27, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
 * The map is misleading, as many others have suggested below. And, yes, it is inaccurate in that several of the highlighted countries are not party, nor have they ever been, to this conflict.  To rectify, and since this is a discussion of an often armed conflict, it would be helpful to include comparisons of military capabilities. Lokiloki 22:34, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
 * The map illustrates the geography of the region. You'll have to be specific in regards to your points, as I can't read your mind.  —Viriditas | Talk 22:45, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry if you are upset. The map highlights the parties to the conflict; in this regard, it is inaccurate, as several highlighted Arab league countries are not party to the conflict.  Please read the extensive existing discussion below under "should Iran be included".  If you have further points to make, you may make them there below the more detailed arguments.  It is unnecessary for me to repeat them all here. Lokiloki 22:49, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm familiar with the discussion, and I've been following it for some time. Perhaps you should move your comments to that section? —Viriditas | Talk 22:51, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
 * That's okay, as I added my talk comments to this section for a reason. It's great to see the "small world" that we occupy here on Wikipedia.  Who would have thought that when I first encountered you yesterday by editing your comments on peak oil that you are also closely following, like me, whether a map should appear or not on the talk page of the Arab-Israeli conflict section?  And it's also pretty neat that you were also apparently closely following the Tibet page, and the Human Rights in China page, as you either reverted or commented on my edits there.  We share a lot of the same interests. Lokiloki 22:54, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
 * You may be interested in reviewing Help:Watching pages. On any given day, I watch about 4000 pages, as well as peruse contribution histories.  In addition to my personal watchlist, I also maintain separate watchlists on my user page.  BTW, I answered your question about reverts over at User talk:Ian Pitchford. —Viriditas | Talk 23:02, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Okay, well I guess I am not familiar enough with Wikipedia to look through the edit history of the Arab-Israeli conflict section to see that you have edited these pages before. I went back several months and didn't see anything: it just seemed as though you were following me around in "revenge" for my edit of your peak oil statement yesterday.  Thanks for the explanation -- Ian actually answered directly on my talk page. Lokiloki 23:05, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Actually, you can save yourself some time, and look at each users contribution history using a number of different tools. Most of them allow you to see all the articles the user has edited (see Edit count for links). But, one doesn't have to edit an article to add it to a watchlist.  Back to the map: aside from outright replacing it, are there any compromise solutions (such as the ones offered below) that you might support? —Viriditas | Talk 23:09, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes. As I have said, the current map unintentionally gives the impression that Israel is dwarfed by an Arab threat.  While this might be the case in terms of sheer landmass: it ignores the fact that many highlighted Arab states are not currently involved in this conflict, that many diasporas and other countries are even more engaged and involved than some of the highlighted countries, and that relative military spending is much greater, in absolute dollars, for Israel, than for the highlighted Arab regions.  As even the author below suggests to include Iran (which is not Arab), it makes sense to either present a realistic global map, to scrap this one, or to offer maps which offer other comparisons besides land mass, for example military spending, GDP, advanced weapons systems, and so on. Lokiloki 23:32, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't see any reason why we can't present other maps in addition to this one -- in the appropriate context. Do you have access to such maps and/or tables?  —Viriditas | Talk 23:47, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
 * No, I don't. Lokiloki 00:23, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Seems reasonable. Lokiloki 02:33, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Please don't remove the table or the map. Both are relevant to the subject (which is, again, much more than simply overt wars). Also, new topics go in the bottom of Talk pages in WP. ←Humus sapiens ну? 09:54, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

 * What is the relevance of the table? It seems to bear little relevance. Lokiloki 10:01, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Both sides maintain that they stand for human rights, justice, freedoms, peace and prosperity. The table reflects the status of these values. Also, it would be useful to include treatment of women and minorities, etc. ←Humus sapiens ну? 22:03, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

 * There is nothing in the article that I can see which discusses how "both sides maintain that they stand for human rights, justice, freedoms, peace and prosperity". If the article had that discussion then the table could make some sense in that context. Nloth 02:51, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

 * I encourage you to add the statistics and perspectives to the country pages for Israel and the various Arab League countries. They are inappropriate on this page, which is meant to describe the current conflict, not various attributes related to these countries.  We could also presumably include soccer team comparisons between Israel and Arab countries, but, like the issues you mention, they are not relevant to the conflict at hand and are better represented in other topics. Lokiloki 03:58, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Until we can make a decision whether or not it should be removed, I have added some additional statistics, sourced from the CIA factbook, to the table. Lokiloki 16:25, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

 * A few points regarding the "additional statistics": 1) a half-truth: you included the numbers of the Palestinian refugees but not the Jewish refugees from the Arab lands; 2) we need to show the number of refugees absorbed/naturalized into the countries where they live for generations; 3) the conflict began before the Palestinian exodus and it would be wrong to imply otherwise. ←Humus sapiens ну? 22:03, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Thanks Lokiliko, at least the table looks a lot more relevant now. (I'm actually a little surprised that no one has argued previously that it was not NPOV - previously it made Israel look like a rich country bullying its poorer neighbours. The number of Palestinian refugees within its borders makes Israel look a lot better, now.) I disagree with the issues Humus sapiens has raised - the number of Palestinian refugees is a hard fact that is directly relevant to the conflict (unlike, say fertility rate). If we are going to keep the table, then we probably should put in things like population growth rates (and especially since - say - 1989) since the population pressure in Israel is a direct contributing factor to the West Bank settlements issue. I'd still prefer to see the table removed though. Nloth 02:51, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Please explain, why would we count the Palestinian refugees as a part of the conflict but not count the Jewish refugees? To pick a single country, the Iraqi Jews lived there since the Babylonian captivity, were thrown out of their houses and were absorbed by the Jewish state. See Jewish exodus from Arab lands and Austerity in Israel.
 * I'm trying to catch up with your logic. Were "the West Bank settlements" of post-1967 a reason why the Arabs attacked Israel in 1948? ←Humus sapiens ну? 04:05, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

 * The table uses a variety of datapoints from the CIA factbook. The list of Palestinian refugees counts is directly referenced in the country tables from that factbook.  If there is a reliable source for the list of Jews who were declared refugees (and not simply before-and-after population numbers) than it probably makes sense to include that.  I see nothing of that nature in the CIA factbook. Lokiloki 04:12, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

 * From Palestinian refugee: The term Palestinian refugee as used by UNRWA was never formally defined by the United Nations. The definition used in practice evolved independently of the UNHCR definition, which was established by the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees. UNRWA definition of refugee is as a person "whose normal place of residence was Palestine during the period 1 June 1946 to 15 May 1948 and who lost both home and means of livelihood as a result of the 1948 conflict", though it is applied only to those who took refuge in one of the countries where UNRWA provides relief. The UNRWA also registers as refugees descendants in the male line of Palestinian refugees, and persons in need of support who first became refugees as a result of the 1967 conflict. The Jewish refugees were absorbed into Israel and other countries they fled to. Who "declared" them? Not the UNRWA. Seems like a double standard, no? ←Humus sapiens ну? 04:56, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I have linked to Palestinian Refugee from the column header so that people can read further on this issue. Lokiloki 05:53, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Do you really think that this link would solve the problems with the table? This is what needs to be done, IMHO: 1) add Jewish refugees; 2) reflect refugee population changes over the years (growth, absorbed, etc); 3) The table requires extensive notes: 3a) explain discrepancy in defininions & inclusion of descendents; 3b) Reflect the fact that the Arab-Jewish conflict began before the refugee exodus and before the occupation. 4) For the lack of space, I would remove the uninformative life expectancy column. ←Humus sapiens ну? 00:25, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

 * The table data is directly from the CIA factbook, as are the other facts and statistics presented. The history of the conflict is already well-represted in the article, and there is no need for redundancy in terms of notations.  These data, again, are directly from the CIA factbook.  Where do you propose we find reliable and neutral sources for the other data you suggest? Lokiloki 01:21, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

 * The exact numbers and their sources can be a separate discussion, first I'd like to come up with a better table - as per above. In the first cut, I'm going to use the numbers from Jewish exodus from Arab lands. BTW, as we know by now, even the CIA makes mistakes once in a while. But this should not stop us from proceeding in a balanced manner. ←Humus sapiens ну? 10:48, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

 * If you do include that datapoint, please include it in a single column as possibly Jewish population declines, or something such, rather than spreading it out to two columns as on that page. Lokiloki 10:59, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

 * I hope you'll be happy with the end result. There is still much to fill: notes, numbers, but that will have to wait till tomorrow. Sorry I had to undo some of your minor changes. Later. ←Humus sapiens ну? 11:52, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Humus, I didn't revert, I simply moved the data into two separate columns, as the Palestinian refugees are officially declared via the main data source (CIA factbook), while the Jewish population declines cannot be presented as 100% refugees, as the column heading indicated. The data are all still there, and I have included a suggested column header for the time being.  I am sure you can think of something better.  Thanks, Lokiloki 12:08, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Humus it is not appropriate to continually revert my changes so that the Palestinian refugees are presented in the same column as the Jewish population change from 1948 to current. They are totally different.  For one thing, the Pal refugee column shows CURRENT refugees as defined by CIA factbook; if you keep the columns as you want them, that means that there are 0 Jewish refugees in, say, Tunisia, since the population declined... do you see my point?  These are totally different numbers we are dealing with, and it is POV to force them together. Thanks Lokiloki 12:20, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

 * To show one phenomenon without the other (as you did) is POV. They are in separate columns - not forced together. I loved your euphemism "the population declined". ←Humus sapiens ну? 22:01, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Per our earlier dicussions, I've compiled some notes & sources. Also, I've added total population and area columns. It'd be great to replace the latter with arable land though. ←Humus sapiens ну? 00:35, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Looks good. By the way, in regard to my supposed euphemism which I just now saw, I simply meant that combining the two sets of statistics in a single column was inaccurate, because the Palestinian column shows current refugees, while the Jewish column showed population in 1948 and later population: since the column was headed as "Refugees" the different datapoints suggested, for example, that all Jews in Tunisia IN 1948 were refugees IN 1948.

Incorrect figures in graph
The figures in the graph entitled "Israel's resources as a % of Arab states" are doubtful (and unreferenced). I did the "Area" calculation (based on country areas from Wikipedia) and I found that Israel is either 0.160% or 0.161% (not 0.15%) the area of the Arab League (depending on if you include Eritrea or not). By my calulations, the area of Arab League is 12,853,029 (without Eritrea) or 12,974,349 (with Eritrea included). Israel's area is listed as 20,770 sq. km. Nloth 03:22, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

 * This bar graph is redundant and apparently factually incorrect, and should probably be removed. Lokiloki 04:00, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Background
I've added a section called "Background" (anyone have a better name) to discuss some of the main actors in the conflict. I've also moved the map of the Arab League to that section and replaced it with a more detailed map of the middle east. Please feel free to fill in more background - I'd especially like a discussion of the change from Arab nationalism to militant Islam as a primary motivation of groups in the conflict after the end of the cold war. I believe that is widely accepted, but isn't discussed in this article. Nloth 05:58, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Viola Birss

Viola Ingrid Birss is a Professor of Chemistry at the University of Calgary. She works on electrochemistry and the development of nanomaterials for sustainable energy and sensing applications. She has demonstrated a metal oxide perovskite that can be used as the air and fuel electrode in solid oxide fuel cells, as well as creating nanoporous carbon scaffolds to be used in batteries and capacitors.

Early life and education
Birss grew up in Crowsnest Pass, Alberta. She moved to Calgary at the age of five. When she was deciding what to study at college she felt that physics was "too abstract", and biology "too descriptive", so settled on chemistry. Having grown up with the wilderness close to her home, Birss was always aware of the environment, and interested in identifying clean ways of storing, converting and using energy. This attracted her to materials science and electrochemistry. Birss earned her doctorate at the University of Auckland as a Commonwealth Scholar, where she studied anodic films on silver electrodes. Her doctoral thesis was titled Electrochemical studies of anodic films on silver. She was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Ottawa, where she worked on the supercapacitive properties of hydrous metal oxides. During this post she specialised in Ruthenium(IV) oxide.

Research and career
Birss began her independent career at Alcan International, where she developed new techniques to evaluate the susceptibility of aluminium alloys to stress corrosion and pitting. Her efforts resulted in the creation of a high-strength corrosion-resistant alloy; Al-Mg-Si alloy. She moved to the University of Calgary in 1983 and was promoted to Full Professor in 1991.

Birss studies nanomaterials for a range of different applications, including fuel cells, batteries, capacitors and sensors. She is also interested in catalysis and drug sensing. In 2002 she was a founder of the Western Canada Fuel Cell Initiative, which included over 35 research groups at eight institutions. This was supported by $2 million of funding under Birss' leadership. She subsequently founded the pan-Canadian Solid Oxide Fuel Cells Canada, an umbrella organisation for groups working on solid oxide fuel cells. Her work has focused on understanding and modifying the electrochemical, chemical, physical and morphological properties of thin films on electrode surfaces. This has involved the development of redox-active metal oxides.

Birss became a Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Fuel Cells at the University of Calgary in 2004. The majority of her efforts have focussed on solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) and proton-exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), carbon materials and biological sensing. Her main contributions have been to the identification of the kinetics and mechanisms of oxidation and reduction in fuel cells using electrochemical methods, as well as developing new fuel cell materials. She has improved the performance and lifetime of low temperature PEMFCs through the development of carbon scaffolds. For high temperature SOFCs Birss has developed metal oxide perovskite catalysts that can be used as both the anode and cathode, allowing for carbon dioxide and water splitting.

She has worked with Honeywell on electrodeposition of metal coatings to enhance their protection. She has since served as Co-Director of the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council Strategic Research Network, which distributes $5.5 million funding across 16 research groups.

Amy Berrington de González

Amy Berrington de González is a scientist and Professor of Clinical Epidemiology at the Institute of Cancer Research in London.

Education
Berrington de González received a D.Phil. in Cancer Epidemiology from the University of Oxford. Her 2001 dissertation was titled Epidemiological evidence for the risk of cancer from diagnostic X-rays. Her university supervisors were Sarah Darby and David Cox.

Career
Berrington de González was on the faculty at the University of Oxford and then Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health before moving to the Radiation Epidemiology Branch at NCI in 2008. She was awarded NIH scientific tenure in 2012, and was promoted to Branch Chief in 2014. In 2022, she took up the position of Professor of Clinical Epidemiology at the in London, UK. Prof Berrington de González serves on two radiation risk committees for the National Academy of Science and previously served on the UK Health Protection Agency's Advisory Group on Ionising Radiation, and the UK Breast Screening Programme's Advisory Group. Berrington de González is currently Vice Chair of the NAS Nuclear and Radiation Studies Board and has participated in many national and international radiation committees. She served on the editorial board for the American Journal of Epidemiology.

Prof Berrington de González is co-PI of the UK Pediatric CT scans cohort, which was the first epidemiological study to suggest a direct link between CT scans and subsequent cancer risk. She also leads studies on the risk of second cancer after proton therapy and other emerging radiotherapy techniques.

Research
The overarching goal of Prof Berrington's research is to quantify the potential cancer risks from this important source of radiation exposure in order to provide information for public health and clinical purposes. Her interdisciplinary training in epidemiology and biostatistics allow her to pursue this goal using both theoretical risk projection modeling and also by conducting epidemiological studies of medically exposed populations. The studies vary across the dose-spectrum from low-dose diagnostic and screening procedures to high-dose radiotherapy, with distinct opportunities and challenges in each area.

Diagnostic and screening tests
Berrington de González has conducted a series of risk projection studies to estimate the potential cancer risks from both diagnostic and screening examinations, including: cardiac stress tests, CT colonography and lung CT screening. To perform these studies she and other collaborators developed the NCI Radiation Risk Assessment Tool (RadRAT), which is interactive computer software that uses state of the art risk projection models to estimate lifetime cancer risks and incorporates Monte Carlo simulation methods to assess the impact of uncertainties in the assumptions and data. She recently became the NCI Principal Investigator for the UK Pediatric CT scans study, which is a retrospective cohort study of 250,000 children who had one or more CT scans as children or adolescents.

Therapeutic radiation exposure
Berrington de González has conducted a number of studies using the SEER cancer registries to evaluate patterns of second cancers and the second cancer risks related to radiotherapy treatment. She is currently developing a cohort of breast cancer survivors using the electronic medical records from Kaiser Permanente Health Plans to study the late effects of various breast cancer treatments. She is also developing methods to project risks from high-doses of radiation exposure and conducting a pilot study to assess the feasibility of performing the first multi-center study of the second cancer risks from proton therapy and IMRT.

Awards and honors
Prof Berrington is an elected member of the American Epidemiological Society.

Talk:Hans Morgenthau

Untitled
Quote: "Some claim that Morgenthau is the founder of International relations as an independent discipline. Before him, it was studied under history, political thought or international law."

This is simply based in nothing more than an American view of the subject. The first department of IR (amongst English-speaking nations) was set up at the University of Wales in the earliest years of the 20th century, whilst the subject was given an endowed Chair at The London School of Economics and Political Science by 1904. While American academics have greatly influenced the study of IR to say that it began only with Morgenthau is simply incorrect. —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 00:51, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

User:Daask/sandbox/The trauma myth: The truth about the sexual abuse of children-and its aftermath

The Trauma Myth: The Truth About the Sexual Abuse of Children-and Its Aftermath is a book by Susan Clancy published in 2011.

children describe abuse and molestation encounters in ways that don't fit the conventional trauma model. In fact, the most common feeling reported is not fear but confusion. Clancy calls for an honest look at sexual abuse and its aftermath, and argues that the reactions of society and the healing professions--however well meaning--actually shackle the victims of abuse in chains of guilt, secrecy, and shame.

Student life
In 1963, Clelland commenced part-time architectural education at the Mackintosh School of Architecture, Glasgow School of Art.

He moved to London in 1966, studying for a year at Kingston College of Art. He worked on projects including a proposed S-Bahn station in Leicester and sites in Kidderminster and Notting Hill. In 1967 he worked in Canada and the United States for various architects, including John Andrews and Louis Kahn.

He completed his formal architectural education at the Architectural Association School of Architecture in London, obtaining his diploma in architecture in 1970. Projects there included a proposed eastern expansion of London and a river edge urban development in the Isles of Grain and Sheppey.

Career
He taught at the Architectural Association from 1971 to 1975, sharing units with Daniel Libeskind and Dalibor Vesely. He also worked at the Polytechnic of Central London (PCL), where he ran the urban architecture studio until 1988.

He commenced private practice in 1972 and completed a set of small buildings in London, Nackington near Canterbury and Forgandenny in Perthshire. Continuing to have his base in London, the Weinreb Studio in Highgate, London (1988), received a Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) regional award and the Gartnernes Forsikring in Taastrup, Denmark (1989) a Danish design award.

His involvement with Berlin commenced in 1977 and since then, he has published a number of journals on the city, was involved in the Internationale Bauausstellung (IBA) from 1984 to 1987, and designed buildings for Siemens and GSW Immobilien. He was elected to the Berlin Architektenkammer in 1992.

He returned to full-timem teaching in 1994 as the Herbert James Rowse Professor of Architecture and Urban Design at Liverpool John Moores University, where he remained until 2010. Since then he has mixed practice, teaching and writing – in recent years committing more time and resources to travel and, as with many colleagues and friends, to a reflection on globalisation.

He acted as a professor of architecture at the Beuth University of Applied Sciences in Berlin and professor of architecture at the University of Malta.

Clelland continues to practice as an architect and is the author of two non-architectural books. He divides his time between Oxfordshire, Gers in France and Berlin. He is the father of three daughters and one son.

 * The Arches – Glasgow's Glasgow – (1990). Clelland directed and chaired the confederation of curators, performance artists, designers and architectural practices who, together, designed and managed the 6,000 square-metre 'Glasgow's Glasgow' exhibition in 1990, when Glasgow was 'European Capital of Culture'. The design of the installation presented the history, present and future of the city within a three-dimensional, analogous geography, with the River Clyde at its centre. A small-scale conventional theatre and sequences of 'street theatre' that moved through the exhibition, brought life to the city's story. This temporary event, a keynote to 1990, was developed in association with the Glasgow Development Agency, the local Regional / District Councils and Commercial Sponsors. It was attended by over 500,000 visitors, the largest audience at that time to visit a temporary exhibition in Britain. 'The Arches' remained as a functioning legacy until recently.

General

 * Philip Johnson, one of the key American architects of the past century, wrote referring to the Solid-State-Logic Building, Stonesfield, Oxfordshire, "Clelland: Postmodern, an English Country Church as a laboratory".
 * Brian Hatton, the widely published architectural critic, wrote regarding The Weinreb House, "Already mentioned are the urban and ecclesiastical overtones of the house's form, as well as its theatrical connotations; others also come to mind: a gallery or shop typically disposes 'backstage' service rooms around a 'display stage', whilst the type of an openwork cage rising within the enclosed court has become the characteristic image of the 'new urban atrium". This building received an RIBA Regional Design Award.
 * The celebrated Danish architect Nils-Ole Lund, referring to Gartnernes Forsikring Building, writes, "Apart from Aalto, Doug Clelland is the first foreign architect to build in Denmark for 300 years. The result has been hailed as the end of Danish functionalism ... Despite its modest size, it represents a whole exhibition of how to make a house ... The new town centre now has a remarkable landmark on its edge". The Danish Design Diploma awarded to Doug Clelland's building for the Gartnernes Forsikring reads, "For a Good and Beautiful Building".

The Weinreb House, London

 * Brian Hatton, the widely published architectural critic wrote, referring to The Friedrichstrasse 10 Building, "One of the last projects to be completed in the Berlin IBA, the Society for the Deaf building on Friedrichstrasse by Doug Clelland makes poetry out of an exceptionally complex brief."

Siemens Building, Treptow, Berlin

 * Karl Engemann, board member of Siemens in Germany writes, regarding the Siemens Building, Treptow, "We thank all those participating in the planning and construction of this building who, due to outstanding teamwork, created in the shortest time a landmark which expresses the visions and strategic aims of Siemens in shape, colour and function."
 * Professor Dr Wolfgang Schäche writes, regarding the Siemens Building, Treptow, "Doug Clelland has succeeded in designing this building with a balance between ideas and building."
 * Alan Balfour writes of Doug Clelland's Siemen's building, "The result is a structure which links with existing buildings, develops uses compatible with the surrounding residential buildings, and rejects Tradition and Liberation. At the same time it has traditional echoes and a 'lightness' of social and architectural intention."

Glasgow's Glasgow Exhibition

 * Peter Davey, the then editor of The Architectural Review wrote, regarding Glasgow's Glasgow Exhibition, "I've been coming to Glasgow for over 20 years, and although I know the riches in the museums, I've never seen anything like Glasgow's Glasgow. Not in Glasgow, that is. I've seen things like it in Berlin, in Vienna, in Barcelona. They are the peers for comparison, in terms of both cities and exhibitions. If the city stood the comparison as well as this inspiring exhibition, it would be clear that Glasgow had recovered the pre-eminence it had in 1890.", "Together they have shaped the knowledge represented by over 2500 objects, plus hours of film and video, into a pattern: an interlace, to stir visitors' imaginations into putting things together from Glasgow's past to make a leap into its future", "It is the architecture of space, finally which gives this exhibition the power of a symbol ... a model to Britain's other northern cities."
 * The widely published architectural critic Brian Hatton, reviews the exhibition Glasgow's Glasgow that Doug Clelland conceived, designed and managed, wrote, "Architect Doug Clelland is its conceiver, but he has really been the convener of a team of historians and designers ... It is this architecture of space, finally, which gives this exhibition the power of a symbol – and, incidentally, renders to the city a permanent venue of assembly, performance and display ... This is an exhibition I'd like to take a child around. And a few of my fellow Liverpudlians, too; for this is a model to Britain's other northern cities."
 * The Berlin architect and writer Professor Wolfgang Schäche wrote of the exhibition Glasgow's Glasgow, "Five hundred thousand visitors saw this lively, colourful and imaginative self-dramatization of the city. In this respect, it was the UK's most successful post-war temporary exhibition. In dazzling multiplicity and with myriad associations, the visitor could create for himself a well-balanced vision of Glasgow past, present and future."
 * Andrew Gibbon William wrote, "The great strength of the exhibition lies in its refusal to sanitize Glasgow's history. It covers the slums, the disastrous post-war housing schemes and the collapse of the city's heavy industry. The fine arts share the stage with football and beer. Questions are asked about Glasgow's future. What emerges ... is the personality of Glaswegians."
 * Penny Wright reports, "'Tearing it Down' takes a critical look at Glasgow's fragmented urban fabric. But even here, amidst the bleakest aspects of Glasgow, there is room for dreams. Referring to housing conditions, a panel explains that 'the dream is that the cycle of change will improve the lives of the many and not merely the few'. On a personal scale, the sentiment could equally apply to Clelland's dream that the exhibition should entertain and enrich the lives of the many. Judging by the hordes of visitors I saw his dream has already been realised."

Guest-edited journals

 * Wolf Von Eckhart, Hon AIA, design critic for the Washington Post and Time magazine, wrote, "Clelland's anthology is most helpful in the issue on Postwar Berlin because we don't know as much as we should about the architecture of the two Berlins of today."

The Mulberry House School extension

 * Chris Foges, regarding The Mulberry House School extension, writes "An inventive solution has enabled Mulberry House School to expand upwards."

Professor at Liverpool John Moores University

 * Dr Robert G MacDonald, when Doug Clelland opened the Andrew Fekete exhibition "In Quest of Gold" at The Victoria Building Liverpool University in 2018: "As the Herbert Rowse Professor of Architecture and Urban Design, Doug Clelland led The School of Architecture at Liverpool John Moore's University between 1994 and 2010. He brought great architectural knowledge and experience of practice to the school and through his invitation, a number of famous architects were visiting critics, external examiners and delivered high profile lectures. Doug was very generous with his professional advice. He was especially knowledgeable about the Urban and Architectural History of Berlin. He was convivial company and famously brought, and shared, a bottle of the best Scotch Malt Whisky to a staff meeting. A series of such staff workshops convened by the new professor, completely altered the curriculum, orienting it towards architecture being part of the drive to confront Climate Change and to relate closely to the vitality of cities. During his tenure, the student numbers in the Architecture programmes quadrupled, with the highest increases at Post-graduate level. Doug left LJMU with a wonderful legacy of publications of Black Books, Yellow Books and Exhibition Catalogues; all graphically very strong and containing drawn and modelled speculative projects especially, but not solely, for The City Region of Merseyside. All the projects anticipated the future of Liverpool in Planning, Transportation, Urban Design and Architecture. His research and teaching was way ahead of its time with regard to urban sustainability and he encouraged my own future socio-architectural thinking related to design for public health and mental well-being."
 * Hartie Hartman, regarding the West Coast Energy Building, wrote, "West Coast Energy approached the RIBA to recommend architects for its new offices in Mold, North Wales. Of the six practices suggested by the client advisory service, Aire Design's 'passion shone through above anyone else.' The architects used thoughtful passive design to minimise the need for renewables. The airtightness test, performed by Stroma, achieved an astonishing 2.65m3/(hr.m2). Aire Design's design approach to West Coast Energy's offices achieves zero-carbon. Doug Clelland's view is that there is no single route to achieving zero carbon, but rather a series of strategies that work with building biology and a specific site. More practices should adopt this holistic approach." This building also received a Building Control award regarding is sustainability credentials.

Matt Saincome

Matt Saincome (born 1991) is an American businessperson, journalist, and satirist.

Education
Matt Saincome was born in Danville, California, in 1991. Following high school he graduated from San Francisco State University with a degree in journalism.

Music
In 2009 he and his brother Ed cofounded the straight edge hardcore band Zero Progress, for which Saincome was the frontman using the stage name of “The Champ” – a satirical character based on typical hardcore frontmen’s macho attitudes. The band folded in 2014, following which Saincome founded the straight edge band PURE. He has also served as a booker for hardcore and punk shows in the San Francisco area.

Writing
Saincome published a zine called ''Punks! Punks! Punks!'' between 2009 and 2012, releasing a total of six issues. Ian Mackaye, Henry Rollins, Lars Frederiksen, and several other punk scene figures were interviewed in the zine, which had a print run of about 50 copies an issue. Following his degree in journalism, he worked as a freelancer for Vice and served as the music editor at SF Weekly until 2016. As a freelancer he produced several articles that went viral, including his Weekly piece “Meet the Man Who Had Sex with a Dolphin (and Wrote a Book About It)”. During this time he came up with the idea of creating a career out of what he called “punk comedy journalism”.

The Hard Times
In November 2014 Saincome, his brother Ed Saincome, and Bill Conway used an $800 budget to cofound the satirical website The Hard Times. Since its founding, the site has added live events and a podcast network to its repertoire. The podcast is entitled The Hard Times Podcast, and features Saincome and Conway in discussion and doing interviews. Its work has been described as a “combination of satirical stories that get into the nitty-gritty of punk politics, and spoofs of news stories”. By 2019 the site was receiving about five million views per month. In 2019 the company cofounded a sister site about videogaming called The Hard Drive.

In 2019 Saincome co-authored the book, The Hard Times: The First 40 Years, following which he proceeded with a national book tour. He also cofounded OutVoice, an automated freelancer payment tool. In 2020 The Hard Times was acquired by Project M in a deal that valued the company over $2 million and allowed Saincome to retain ownership of Hard Drive. He also stayed on board at Hard Times in a position focusing on brand vision.

Personal life
Matt Saincome adheres to a straight edge lifestyle.

Simulations Canada

Simulations Canada is the name of a Canadian board wargame publisher established in Nova Scotia in 1977. The company was founded by Stephen Newberg as a one-man operation and was one of only a handful of companies devoted to publishing wargames at that time. Other companies such as Avalon Hill and Simulations Publications, Inc. did not accept unsolicited submissions, resulting in the creation of the company.

Stephen Newberg, with assistance from other designers and graphic artists, produced a relatively large output of games in the first years of the company, focusing on a wide mix of historical subjects not covered by other publishers.

As the wargames industry grew, Simulations Canada made a number of text-only computer wargames that included a traditional board-game map and counters. The company decided to focus entirely on computer games by 1986. In 2001, Simulations Canada entered into a partnership with Matrix Games to publish some of Simulations Canada's computer titles, resulting in the release of Flashpoint Germany in 2005. In 2004, another partnership with Omega Games saw the rerelease of Line of Battle and Battleship.

Simulations Canada is currently based on Vancouver Island, British Columbia and continues to create and produce innovating materials.

Origin (Origin album)

Origin is the debut studio album by American death metal band Origin. The album has a rawer and less technically proficient sound compared to their more technical later albums. The album was the first death metal album released on a label to incorporate the use of gravity blasts, although the band's original drummer George Fluke used the gravity blast on their 1998 EP A Coming into Existence.

This is the Origin's only album without bassist Mike Flores, and their only album with bassist Doug Williams and singer Mark Manning.
