I truly appreciate them, and I hope to be able to continue to be viewed as both scrupulous and fair by those with whom I interact. Forgive me for dropping a link to the meta page on your user page here, but as you do not have a linked account, that was necessary to make your vote eligible. I am sorry that you feel the need to remove yourself from the project; we need more intelligent, well-spoken, level-headed, open-to-compromise editors who are able to work with people with differing opinions, not fewer. But the frustration that comes from trying to be the voice of reason in a sea of cacophonous dissension is all to real and overwhelming at times. Thank you again!     :please please please please dont. we need more knowledge here, not less.    ::Nishidani, ::How young are you in real life ? (c'est une vraie question !) ::Et est-ce que tu peux me dire où tu vis ? ::Et enfin comment se fait il que tu parles le français ? ::   :::Questions that might be better asked and answered in e-mail.    == WP:RfArb regarding West Bank vs. Judea and Samaria ==  I have started a Request for Arbitration regarding the use of northern/southern West Bank vs. Judea and Samaria.

Please submit your evidence within one week, if possible. You may also contribute to the case on the workshop sub-page, Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/West Bank - Judea and Samaria/Workshop.  On behalf of the Arbitration Committee,     Mayhap a statistical analysis of the amount of words used to put a minority perspective forward would be useful? Along the lines of: *PoT; ...legal position, internationally recognised; x number of words *WB and GS;... common usage, internationally recognised; x number of words *J and S used by Israeli national extremists and religious fundamentalists/
