Thanks

interesting .. didn't see those Arbitration Rules before on the Talk Page.

This article is clearly NOT about the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, but rather about a German Author and his political poem.

These arbitration rules seem to be put "arbitrarily" into place - totally unrelated of the I-P Conflict.

How can they be disputed?? This is silly!

Actually you should be able to "talk" to them in the meaning to leave them a message (as I do now) and receive a reply; where did you try it? Or do you mean talk as in vocally?

I meant "leave a message".. but just found the links embedded in what seems their excessive personal pages. thank you Thetilo (talk) 07:06, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

What must be said

Dear user. It is really unfair to cite just some convenient parts of Grass's text What must be said. There shoud be no censorship on Wikipedia.--AsiBakshish 01:31, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

Dear AsiBakshish, I agree :) and I did quite the opposite: I added several references to an independent English translation. Unfortunately Wikipedia rules seem not to allow "hot linking" , e.g. direct links to the source, so please refer to the section at the bottom of the page with the translations. The partial quotes in the article were not added by me.

Grass poem

My apologies if I've removed work that needed to remain in the text, and I'm sorry if you felt I was too forceful with the copy edit. If you want to point out which references or bits of text ought to have remained, I'd be happy to restore them, or discuss them with you if they seem problematic for any reason. SlimVirgin ^(talk) 08:48, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

thank you for the reply. I think it would have been better to keep the references in the first place. People spent time and effort to add them. What do you think of using the Proposed Content Section on the talk page of the article? Thetilo (talk) 03:57, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

Dolphin class submarine

I did change this part earlier, however did decide to drop my changes. I think the question is not whether it was the sixth Dolphin class submarine delivered to Israel, but if the sixth is the first one?? capable of carrying nuclear warheads? But I am not sure.--IIIraute (talk) 04:09, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

thank you for your message! From the Wiki page on Dolphin Class it shows that all submarines of that class seem to be ale to carry nuclear warheads -- primarily determined by size of torpedo tubes. the news articles in reference 2 of the Grass poem show that this is the sixth submarine...

The article on Dolphin Class even lists the names of those submarines.

There is way too much war editing going on in this article -- who put the marker in for disputed neutrality?

Thetilo (talk) 12:37, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

I think you are right - I am fine with your edit - I knew that it was the sixth submarine, I just wasn't sure if they are all capable of carrying nuclear warheads. Thanks for getting back to me.--IIIraute (talk) 19:28, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
