Category:Terrorism
Hi Gabi... just wanted to let you know that :Category:Terrorism used to exist, but was deleted. If you think it should be undeleted, please initate discussion on the Water Cooler, or raise an undeletion request. I'm removing all articles this category. Please do not recreate it without seeking input from the community. - Borofkin 06:12, 30 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks for letting me know (I'm new here). I will ask for re-creation of that category, since I think it belongs to a news source, and it is pretty clear what terrorism is, unless you sympathize with terrorists :) --Gabi S. 06:29, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
 * "it is pretty clear what terrorism is" - unfortunately this is the crux of the problem. Some people call the United States terrorist for attacking Iraq. Some people call Israel terrorist for their actions in the occupied territories. Terrorism is a very vague and poorly defined concept. See Terrorism for a discussion of some of the problems with the term. - Borofkin 06:47, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
 * This is nonsense. There must be a "terrorism" category here, with current events associated with it. There are clear cases of terrorism (I don't even have to give you examples), and a discussion will take place in borderline cases to decide if that specific event falls under terrorism or not. By the way, according to Wikipedia, the term "Acts of Terror" may be a more neutral term. This term may be used instead, I don't care. --Gabi S. 10:32, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. You have these options:
 * Start a discussion on the water cooler, and attempt to convince others. There are certainly others that agree with you, however you will need to gain wide support from the community. Remember, this issue has been discussed and voted on before.
 * Raise a request for undeletion at Deletion requests for Category:Terrorism.
 * You could create Category:Act of terror and start adding articles to it, however note that it will almost certainly be subject to a deletion vote before too long. People will see it as a reincarnation of Category:Terrorism.

 * I will do it... Give me some time. --Gabi S. 07:13, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Missing article
I'm not sure which article you're talking about which was deleted. I see an article created by an "anonymous" editor on May 29 which you renamed on May 30 to Lebanese Hezbollah militants threaten Israel with Iranian-made rockets. That particular article was marked abandoned and deleted per WN:DR on June 18. See the deletion log for more information. Please let me know if I can provide additional information or help you further. --Chiacomo (talk) 23:39, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
