The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Single User Login finalisation announcement|the announcement]] for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Moby Dick. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Moby Dick~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can [[Special:GlobalRenameRequest|pick out a different name]]. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit [[Special:MergeAccount]] to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

I don't know much about this user, but he appears to have some problems with the [[Kurdistan]]-related articles and categories. It's somewhat understandable depending on his political background, but he doesn't seem to be good at expressing himself, which has caused some problems.

== [[Batman, Turkey]] ==
Please have a read of [[WP:NPOV]]. The BBC did not hold a census regarding kurds. They made a claim without official basis. Thats why it is just a claim no matter how likely it may be true. --<small>[[User:Cool Cat|Cool Cat]]<sup>[[User talk:Cool Cat|Talk]]|[[Special:Emailuser/Cool Cat|@]]</sup></small> 20:36, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
: "Official" sources are not the only possible sources. For example, there's the source I provided that you removed [http://www.guardian.co.uk/The_Kurds/Story/0,,428351,00.html]. And, of course, the claim is obviously true; SE Turkey is full of Kurds [http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/war/images/dist-kurdish.gif]. --[[User:Moby Dick|Moby]] 07:58, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
::Hi Moby, thanks for your comments. I removed the ''The Guardian'' article from the 'external links' section as it isn't an article on Batman, but on the Kurdish - Turkish dilemma in general, with the streetname changes in Batman as an illuminative example. As such I don't think it should remain in Batman's external links section, but rather in the section 'The Kurdish Issue in Turkey' of the article [[Kurds]]. I'll place it there right away.--[[User:Hippalus|Hippalus]] 09:23, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
::: Thanks, makes sense to me. --[[User:Moby Dick|Moby]] 09:27, 13 March 2006 (UTC) (off to check it out)
Hello Moby. Thank you for the comment. There is no doubt that Batman is a predominantly Kurdish city - of course under the condition that you accept the existance of Kurds. Even Turkey's current governemnt under the leadership of PM Recep Tayyip Erdoğan recognises the existance of Kurds. So it seems rather odd that Wiki should write its a BBC claim - in fact only the mos extreme Turkish nationalists keep denying the existance of Kurds (that they sometime label "Mountain Turks") . [[User:Bertilvidet|Bertilvidet]] 17:41, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
: It would seem that the Turkish Nationalists here would like to redirect Kurd-->Turk. I'll keep an eye on the Batman articles and see how it goes. It seems to me that the Kurds will get a bit more of the world's attention in the future due to their part in the Iraq situation. --[[User:Moby Dick|Moby]] 10:34, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
:::Indeed, and that should not surprise us. Fortunately the political climate is changing significantly in Turkey these years, so less and less people will argue against Kurdishness. Any article dealing with some kind of Kurdishness need indeed an open eye. [[User:Bertilvidet|Bertilvidet]] 16:18, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

==Batman and wp:an/i==
First of all, thank you so much for notifying me about the wp:an/i - amazing that someone can launch a complaint without informing the accused part!
I appreciate your edits at the Batman article. As you probably know the Kurdistan Category was recently [[Wikipedia:Categories_for_deletion/Log/2006_March_3#Category:Kurdistan|nominated for deletion]]. Some, or at leas one, users do not respect the decision to keep the category, and deletes references to this category in lots of articles. I am not sure how to deal with that, as embarking on an edit war with this user seems rather fruitless. All the best [[User:Bertilvidet|Bertilvidet]] 10:46, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Dude, please stop removing the Kurdish category from pages; this category has survived the CFD attempts and categorizing areas by ethnic population is legitimate and encyclopedic. --[[User:Moby Dick|Moby]] 08:53, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
:Pov pushing is not welcome on wikipedia. Boudries of kurdistan is strictly confined at northern iraq. Anywhere else its highly contraverisal.

== You can´t talk to people like him==
Moby, how can you talk with a guy that hates your background don´t recognize you and most of all does everything he can do destroy you and makes you look like a fool. I mean everyone knows that east turkey is Kurdish dominiated and even turkish cities have kurdish majority. If he can´t stand the truth, and call me terrorist and babykiller. I don´t make Istanbul Kurdish because it lives over 4 million Kurds there, and in Mersin which kurds are majority in and Adana, but I want it make it right by adding the Kurdish cities with a Kurdish majority not turkish ones If I do that then I am on a wrong trace.

: Well talking to people with different views, even abhorrent views, is part of participating in a wiki. The talking may not go anywhere, but at least it shows that you tried. Always be sure to remain civil and please try to avoid baiting people. See: [[WP:NPA]] and [[WP:CIVIL]].
: Also, I don't understand your sig... --[[User:Moby Dick|Moby]] 14:20, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

== A letter from the International Association of Genocide Scholars ==
Thanks for the letter. But I should tell you that I don't take the International Association of Genocide Scholars seriously mainly because of its leader Israel Charny who happens to have no background of research on the history of the Holocaust or Genocide. The guy has a PhD in '''clinical psychology''' from the University of Rochester. An examination of the Social Sciences and some other bibliography databases reveals absolutely not a single research study under his name on the history of Holocaust or genocide in other nations, or for that matter on any other topic. So as a social science researcher Dr. Charny appears to have made no significant contribution to the research oriented academic community in his own disciplines.
His publication list shows mainly volumes that he has edited. Based on such a list, any serious academic researcher would be highly hard-pressed to accept the credentials of this fake scientist as a "genocide expert".
Dr. Charny currently presents himself as the Executive Director of the "Institute on the Holocaust and Genocide" in Jerusalem. Despite the prestigious sounding title of this institute it is nothing more than an institute founded by Dr. Charny himself. It has no official connections to any Israeli university.
