[edit] Tariq Shadid

Who is Tariq Shadid, and why is his opinion noteworthy? Jayjg ^(talk) 19:17, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

He's an MD with an opinion, according to Xed. Since he's not a reputable film critic, I removed his opinion from the article, but Xed reverted...four times in fact. --Viriditas | Talk 11:48, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Xed's revert war

Four reverts in less than 24 hours:

1. 11:31, 4 November 2005 Xed m [1]
2. 10:37, 4 November 2005 [2]
3. 09:10, 4 November 2005 Xed m (rv weasel) [3]
4. 18:32, 3 November 2005 Xed m (rv bizarre censorship) [4]

Xed has also added citations that do not support claims in the article, particularly:

• "After a vigorous campaign by Zionist activists to bar the movie" [5]

This non-neutral cite does not appear to make this specific claim.

• "based on a spontaneously declared informal policy" [6]

The cite does not make this specific claim.

In the above two examples, Xed simply cited his opinion, not the alleged citations. When I politely pointed this out to Xed in the edit summary, he reverted and responded with: you've been caught lying. you can't review all those pages in 3 minutes!. He's partly right; it only took me one minute--not three--to discover that Xed had fabricated content in at least two specific instances as demonstrated above. Due to this behavior, I've added the totally disputed tag. --Viriditas | Talk 12:01, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

Weasel tag-team in effect - Xed 12:05, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] citations

Can we find a citation for "spokesperson John Pavlik stated that the Academy had never made a decision on that issue because Suleiman had never submitted his film"? If there's any kind of formal submission process, it should be clear-cut as to whether or not the film was submitted. -- Danny Yee 23:35, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

It's already cited in the article. [7]. Another POV of the submission is offered here which is also cited. --Viriditas | Talk 01:04, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

-- According to same article, article was not submitted because the Executive Director of AMPAS said it was not eligible for submission based on the fact that the UN doe not recognize Palestine as a country. (--preceeding unsigned comment by 209.212.72.19)
