User talk:Allenwhite

Hi Allenwhite, What you did to "Dubious methods of Western archaeolgy" is great. My only concern is someone now hiding and moving the material under "archaeology". Whipping workers is more than a dubious way of searching for "Biblical" artifacts. I have my doubts whether this was the common Western method used in the excavation of Pompeii, ancient Greek cities, Scandinavia and the Americas before 1948. User:Kazuba 28 Jun 06

I agree, I originally removed the whole section since it is a single reference to a specific incident, and it doesn't sound very credible. However it wouldn't go away so hopefully by containing it, the revert war will end. Allenwhite 11:48, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

There is a telling photograph included in the interview. I knew foreign intellectuals were prejudiced against the common laborer. I had no idea there was such hostility condoned by American Biblical archaeologists and that they rationalized their snobbery with proud defiance. I expected them to be more charitable and humane. Slavery had beeen abolished in the USA. I guess I shouldn't have been surprised. They were far away from home so they just joined the program. Monkey see, monkey do. Such amoral behavior was far too common in Nam. User:Kazuba 30 Jun 06

Archiving Halifax page

No worries, I figured it was just an error. Sorry if I sounded like I was pointing fingers in my comment on Talk:Halifax Regional Municipality, Nova Scotia.

What was more important for me was to put the old edit history into the archive, by doing a page move rather than a copy-paste move. I had actually thought a page move was the recommended way of doing things. But according to Wikipedia:How to archive a talk page, there are advantages to a copy-paste archiving too. --Saforrest 15:05, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
