Removing NYTimes article[edit]

If properly sourced, and the entry says "Some believe", I think there is no reason to remove it.

For the record: Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia under the three-revert rule, which states that nobody may revert a single page more than three times in 24 hours. (Note: this also means editing the page to reinsert an old edit. If the effect of your actions is to revert back, it qualifies as a revert.) Thank you. -- Avi 16:10, 19 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

FYI, I have cut down that paragraph (Iranian Influence) to remove WP:OR and I quoted more from the article to support the entry. I think you may agree with this version.
Also, speculation about Lebanese fuel shortages without a WP:RS is WP:OR. Thank you. -- Avi 16:17, 19 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the comments. I have sourced the claim about fuel shortages. Thanks for removing WP:OR. Wisdom of crowds in effect (Downs 16:26, 19 July 2006 (UTC))[reply]

Re: Crystal ball[edit]

Hello,
Unfortunately, I have not been able to commit much time to the 'pedia recently, so I was not yet able to effect any of the changes that you had brought to my attention. If you still see any issues, please let me know. Cheers, TewfikTalk 00:10, 20 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
