Thank you for your note. You are right and I was mistaken: Vanunu was born in Morocco and immigrated to Israel as a child. Hope the changes just made are OK. User:Emesz —Preceding undated comment added 00:23, 13 March 2011 (UTC).
Another editor has reported you for breeching the one revert per 24 hours (1/rr) rule that is in place in the Palestinian-Israel conflict topic area. I recommend that you do not continue to revert. I also recommend that you read up on Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Palestine-Israel articles#Further remedies. This 1/rr has been very useful in tempering the edit warring that has been common in the topic area.
I assume you were not aware of this unless you really were just thumbing your nose at the rules. Blocks are meant to be preventative and not punitive so if you express on the edit warring report that the 1/rr issue is now clear and that you won't be violating again then you might be able to avoid a block.

I just combined the two paragraphs that list the reasons why Abu Seesi was kidnapped. For the moment, I deleted your addition about Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's comments on why he was kidnapped as not sourced. I know you are working on getting it sourced. When you do, could replace your sourced sentence with the last sentence (Israeli officials were insinuating that Abu Seesi was involved in weaponry for Hamas). Your comment is by the Israeli side, the other sentence just insinuated. Bgwhite ( talk) 20:50, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

User:Ajnem, please consider that the frequency and nature of your edits at Itamar killings may constitute a violation of the 1RR restriction. While they appear to be in good faith, they are also symptomatic of WP:OWN. Without having warned you first, Administrators are unlikely to take action; so please review Wikipedia policy at WP:1RR and in particular keep in mind the following: An editor must not perform more than one revert on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert.

Transclusion isn't as horrible as it sounds;
I just made a little test page, User:Biosketch/Test page, which contains "Test page la la la".
If I put, right here, {{User:Biosketch/Test page}}, it will show the contents of it;
Test page la la la
...and if that page changes, then it'll change here too.
You can think of transclusion as 'subroutines' - for adding common text on several pages. They can also do cleverer stuff, with conditional code - like "If I'm being transcluded on user page say THIS, otherwise say THAT". So, they're used for all kinds of things.
I hope that maybe unravels the mystery a little! Cheers, Chzz ► 13:42, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
Hence, the second number will change regularly - but the first will never change.
The same applies to subst'ing and transcluding a page.
I hope that helps! Cheers, Chzz ► 21:42, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

OK, that's not actually a transclusion thing; the "File usage" is generated automatically by the mediawiki software.
There's no easy way (that I know) to get a list in a wiki-code-format; you could copy/paste and add the [[ ]] things, I suppose. Or, if there were lots (e.g. 100+), it'd be worth asking someone with database access to get a list for you - [1].
But the easiest answer is, use the popups gadget - in My Preferences, under the 'Gadgets' tab, under "Browsing", there is Navigation popups, article previews and editing functions popup when hovering over links. If you 'checkbox' that...then whenever you hover your mouse over a file-link (such as this one: File:Golan Heights Map.PNG), you should see a list of pages using it.
That's probably the best way to keep an eye on what pages use a file, really; keep a list of the files you are interested in, and just hover your mouse over them to see which pages are using them.
You could list them using "lf" (which stands for "link file) to give links, e.g.
* {{lf|Golan Heights Map.PNG}}
Which will look like this;
That gives you the 'links' link, showing what-links-here for the file.
Sorry though; I can't think of a way to actively monitor changes in which pages use a file. If that's what you really need, I suggest asking on the helpdesk, as others might know of some tools, or something. Cheers, Chzz ► 10:05, 31 July 2011 (UTC)

Hi Biosketch, I saw your posts at AGK's talk page. Have you heard about my hacker ordeal? When I decided to end the game I played with the hacker, and to change my password, it was really hard for me to do so. It almost looked as somebody from the other site is preventing me from doing so. My gmail account went absolutely crazy. I am not sure if you're having the same issues. BTW there is button that is named "details" Look for the text:
Visit settings to save time with keyboard shortcuts! You are currently using 0 MB (0 %) of your 7588 MB. Last account activity: 1 hour ago at this IP (--------). Details
I replaced my IP with -------, but just by looking at this line you could see, if somebody with a different IP entered your account. Then click that "Detail" button, and it will give you the full report of the stupid and criminal hackers activities if your account was hacked. The hacker IP will be in the red color and in the first line/lines of the report. Please feel free to ask me more questions. Cheers.-- Mbz1 ( talk) 04:46, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

This edit summary is absurd. The lone sentence I removed in the preceding edit was The kibbutz has an industrial aria which includes factories for producing stretch films and other plastic films. That sentence was cited to the website of a company that makes such films, meaning it was promotional spam not cited to a third party reliable source. To call that removal possible POV pushing/selective removal of content is absurd. Do not continue making such comments about me. Also, do not continue hounding my edits. If you continue to do so I may ask for administrative assistance in stopping you from tendentiously following me around. It has gone past annoying, considering the absurd accusations that accompany your hounding. nableezy - 02:51, 4 July 2011 (UTC)
Kids, stop it. Please. -- ElComandanteChe ( talk) 10:03, 4 July 2011 (UTC)
Now you actually are getting on my nerves. You describe the removal of unsourced material as a "controversial edit", something that an "an anon IP might try to pull". WP:V specifies that any unsourced material may be removed by an editor. That is Wikipedia policy, and doing so is not "controversial". I use {{ cn}} when there is some mundane detail that needs a source, this was not that. I removed a completely unsourced sentence. That is something we are supposed to do, that is, those of us not interested in seeing how many times we can include the word terrorist in a sentence (only 2 above, you need to try harder). At Niran, there was a companies website used as a source for the existence of the company and information on what they manufacture. That you think that is acceptable for a company to be advertised in such a way in an encyclopedia article is nice, but unimportant. Wikipedia has policies on what may be included in articles. All material must be cited to third party reliable sources. Our articles do not exist to advertise for private companies.
There was nothing wrong with including the Arabic script in the caption of the article, and many articles include foreign language script within them while giving a translation. I did not do anything there because dealing with you was not worth the irritation. But that edit does not entitle you to begin following my contributions to further whatever feud you think you have with me.
Ill deal with your "hounding" allegations now, because they are easily the most absurd ones I have seen in a long time, and it took me a bit to craft, lets go with, appropriate response. I am so very sorry for using the word emphatically after you did. I must never have used such a word in the past, I surely saw your post at ANI and decided to use it there. I mean, what are the chances that I have used the word emphatically in the past? I mean, that must be impossible, and of course never at AE. You think I followed you to Reenem's talk page? I have been dealing with that user over the same issue for some time now, your visit there had nothing to do with my message to the user. A brief look at the user's talk page should make any person who was interested in ensuring the veracity of their complaints see that such a charge is patently bogus. Much like everything else in the 8.5 kB above. But, about my diagnosis, given that you admit to hounding my contributions, doing so over breakfast, do you really question it? Again, the problem is not the hounding, I can deal with it, but I may be inclined to return the favor. The problem is the asinine accusation, that you repeat above, that the removal of a companies website as a "source" for an encyclopedia article is "POV-pushing". This was way too much time for me to get to the point here, so Ill do so now. WP:HOUND specifies that [i]f "following another user around" is accompanied by tendentiousness, personal attacks, or other disruptive behavior, it may become a very serious matter and could result in blocks and other editing restrictions. If you continue hounding my edits with the apparent aim of annoying me I may seek such restrictions. You admit above that have, repeatedly, gone through my contributions to inhibit my work at separate articles. You do so on the most spurious of grounds, and make personal attacks such as "POV-pushing". Kindly stop doing so. I dont have a problem discussing the content of the articles, I do however have a problem dealing with people whose aim it is to annoy me. You are quickly demonstrating which of those things you are interested in doing. A commonly used phrase is "comment on the content, not the contributor". If you can do that with me, I will respond in kind, and we will not have problems. If however you cannot control the urge to follow me around and annoy me with such asinine accusations we will have problems. Which of those happens is up to you. I can be an exceedingly pleasant person, even with those that dislike my views. I can also be quite the asshole. Which one you see is really up to you. nableezy - 03:37, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
<- Biosketch, I have something to say about "When you go around removing content – even unsourced content – from articles in a way that can be construed as being motivated by a particular agenda, it undermines the confidence your colleagues have in you and you should not be surprised that they monitor your edits from time to time." This is completely wrong. The topic area is covered by sanctions. It is essential that content is sourced and if it is not it can and should be removed as quickly as possible. I see both "pro-Israeli" and "pro-Palestinian" editors (if we can use those meaningless terms) removing unsourced content in what could be construed as being motivated by a particular agenda very often and it in no way undermines my confidence in their editing because they are doing what they are supposed to do. Imagined patterns and motivations don't matter, people/personalities don't matter if the edits are consistent with the rules. There is far too much focus on people here, it's unhealthy and obsessive, imagining what they are thinking and feeling, what drives them etc, when the only thing that matters is whether their edits are consistent with the set of rules and objectives of the project. I think you are being drawn into the destructive cult of personality that so many people, often toipic banned editors, try to foster here. It turns the place into a war zone. Sean.hoyland - talk 06:33, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
Biosketch, I don't normally invest much time talking to other editors because talking is overated, but I'm making an exception for you. Take it as a compliment because I think you are a good editor who is losing their way a bit.
I'm not defending a side here. There are no sides. It's not a battlefield. It's about resolving interpersonal conflicts that shouldn't be happening because they are irrelevant to the objectives of the project.
I'm aware of what it says in WP:V and WP:EDIT. I'm not a new editor and I've seen how they can be misused by editors to preserve substandard content they like or remove content they don't like. Such is life. Let's agree to disagree about how to interpret and implement policy with respect to unsourced information in a topic area covered by sanctions in a way that maximises compliance with the mandatory core policies of the project.
Regarding my being "remiss in not bringing people to the attention of the community or at least advising them strongly against such behavior", I'm not a fan of pursuing, badgering and purging people because I disagree with their interpretation of policy or because I see a pattern in their edits that may or may not represent something (and certainly not because of their opinions about the world). I reserve that for the worst offenders and my getting-people-blocked metric is near perfect, the one exception I can think of who had been causing disruption for weeks and weeks simply stopped editing after I reported them. I could elaborate on this point giving some examples of several editors who I think would certainly be blocked if I reported them based on a large but selective sampling of their edits. They are all what people call "pro-Israel" for reasons that are never quite clear. I'm not going to because, on balance, the evidence indicates that, although they are at times highly problematic and have difficulty complying with the sanctions, they do more good than harm contentwise as far as I can tell. I don't think that is how admins at AE would see it though. How I deal with people is my choice and from what I've observed, my methods do okay.
We could have a discussion about generating or identifying patterns, trying to interpret those patterns, and how foolhardy it is to not appreciate or understand the degree to which eyes are already shut off from what you describe as the "reality" (but actually just a model) those patterns are supposed to represent. It's somewhat off topic though.
You cite Yachad or J Street. This is where your patterns get you into trouble because built into them are all sorts of invalid assumptions about sampling a very large information space and editor actions within that space. There is a reason for everything but as is so often the case when dealing with people, you won't know unless you ask. Since you asked, there is nothing in Yachad that is unsourced or inaccurate. The problem there is quite the opposite. The content is sourced directly from their site and it is a series of small copyright violations. There's a reason for that. The article was written by Yachad. It's a problem, yes. Do I care ? Yes, not much though, it's not a priority for me. Do I care about the organization Yachad ? Not in the slightest. For interest, I saw the article by chance, the best way, because I use a tool that monitors various IRC feeds and saw an edit by an IP editor whose machine generated "reputation" metric was very low, so it caught my eye. I had know idea what or where this thing called Yachad was, and expected it to be a village somewhere. By the time I got there someone had reverted but from a quick look at the article it was clear that it needed work. I brought it into the topic area by tagging/categorizing it and did as much as I had time+interest to do. Others can fix it or perhaps I will one day, who knows. As for J-Street, an edit summary came up on my watchlist that said "Controversy: Changed description of Code Pink from "anti-Israel" to "anti-war" per WP:NPOV. To imply that being against the occupation is being anti-Israel (as the quite biases sources do) is not acceptable". I checked it and removed a BLP violation. I didn't even look at the rest of the article. So, for Yachad or J Street, these are simply 2 examples of the millions of things I haven't done in Wikipedia everyday since I signed up. You could have cited my recent edits at Hans Hofmann or Hinchinbrook Island as examples where I have left information unsourced. Far worse than that, if you are looking for inconsistency and policy violations, with Hinchinbrook Island, I actually added unsourced information (which I suppose is potentially contentious to the handful of people who care) because I happen to know it's true (=COI), the horror. I make no claims of consistency. A piece of advice someone gave me a very long time ago, "don't expect rationality". It has served me well for many years.
Bear in mind, and this might interest you, that my sampling of the I-P topic area (and some other problematic but less active topic areas) is deliberately randomized to a large extent. I do this in 3 main ways
If I'm working on a specific article over an extended period of time it's different. I read the entire article and check everyone's edits over the past x hours keeping a special eye on IP's.
As a general point, so you understand where I'm coming from, in the world of wiki, I'm not interesting in individuals (a very Western way of looking at things I might add) or ambiguous, non-deterministic, non-repeatable procedures based on wooly policies that say what might or could be "good practice" under certain poorly constrained data dependent conditions according to different people at different times...depending on what mood they're in etc. When it comes to delete or fix decisions, I'm much more interested in and favour edits that, as a matter of fact, measurably increase the degree to which an article complies with the core mandatory policies no matter whether that entails removal or addition of content. You'll note there that there is no mention of the nature of the content, which side of an imagined pro/anti something boundary it falls on because I don't know where that boundary is. I can only see what the content says and what the reliable sources say if anything. Do I go around removing unsourced content (assuming I had time to do such a thing) ? Not often, I tend to try to fix things if I have time or leave them be unless they are really bad but I will defend editors policy based right to do it. Did I say that I am "an enthusiastic" proponent of anything ? No, I said that I support it because it is consistent with policy as I see it. Again, you are modeling and talking about an editor, me in this case, as if they are a human being with feelings. Can you not simply accept that you know nothing about this "reality" you speak of with any degree of confidence that matters to Wikipedia and instead just focus on the content and what reliable sources say about the subjects of articles ? Focusing on what you can reliably know and can reliably verify, namely whether content complies with policy, and acting in accord with your interpretation of policy is simpler.You are focusing on editors and you're coming into conflict because you are focusing on editors. You are talking to them as if you understand this "reality" of "basic human nature" you refer to, as if you can reliably identify patterns and model people. You can't, you will get it wrong and it has and will continue to result in conflict. Regarding AE, people who get blocked there are often the editors who try to make a model of other editors, edit according to that model and consequently get into conflict with this thing they have modeled. Imagine what might happen if, when it comes to content, you just treated Nableezy as a Turing Award winning content generation and management machine rather than tried to model him as a person with all of the complexity that entails. He's given you a clue by saying ""comment on the content, not the contributor". If you can do that with me, I will respond in kind, and we will not have problems." Why not give it a try ? You have nothing to lose.
Please don't take anything I have said as a criticism. I'm just offering an alternative view. That's all. My aim is to present you with a different perspective that I think might help reduce conflict. Above all, remember that people are idiots, all of us, and give people a break.

Hi Biosketch, I found an interesting report that provides some statistics on patents, scientific research and other things between Israel and twenty two Arab countries, for example like this: "Israel registered 16,805 patents and 836 Arabs as a whole". The best part of it that this research was written by a Palestinian scientist, and it was published in quite a few Arabic RS. I believe wikipedia readers would be interested to read about this research, but I am a little bit busy in a real life, and have a few other things to do on wikipedia.

Please show me where I have used the word terror or terrorist in this wikipedia entry itself. I believe that I have not done so. I have simply added to a section that already exists. If you want to change the existing text then do not direct your remarks to me. If you want to discuss the need for extra references to show that the groups listed are widely regarded as terrorist then you should make that clear on the discussion page before you posit a revert. I am happy to join you in doing so, but you need to do that for all entries not just the ones that I have added. In short I am surprised by your need to point out WP:TERRORIST. to me.

Hello! "2011 southern Israel cross-border attacks" is merely our description of the event, not a formal or generally accepted name. In such cases, the MoS calls for us to word the lead in normal English, not to force the inclusion of the article's title (which carries no special significance).
Quoth MOS:BOLDTITLE: "If the page title is descriptive it does not need to appear verbatim in the main text, and even if it does it should not be in boldface."
In this instance, as in most, forcing the article's title into the lead results in awkward redundancy:
The 2011 southern Israel cross-border attacks were a series of attacks carried out by Palestinian militants on August 18, 2011 in southern Israel near the Egyptian border.
In a single sentence, we're stating that the "2011 southern Israel cross-border attacks" were attacks carried out in 2011 at an Israeli border.
The entirety of WP:SBE addresses this issue. In particular, see the "January 31, 2007 Boston bomb scare" example, for which it's explained that the practice "gives undue weight to the chosen title, implying that it is an official term, commonly-accepted name, or the only acceptable title, when it is actually just a description and the event or topic is given many different names in common usage."

All articles relating to the Arab–Israeli conflict are currently subject to active arbitration remedies, as laid out during a 2008 Arbitration case, and supplemented by community consensus in November 2010. The current restrictions are:
If you are a new editor, or an editor unfamiliar with the situation, please follow the above guidelines. You may also wish to review the arbitration case page. If you are unsure if your edit is appropriate, discuss it here on this talk page first. When in doubt, don't revert.

Cute, but this is a request that has nothing to do with my edits. If you feel my edits violate any policy, I absolutely encourage you to file a report about me. Until then, you might want to take it easy on your displays of battleground behavior. You don't win yourself points for digging up stale non-violation edits of mine in defense of an editor who is telling people to "fuck off" and who gets a kick of "yelling at Arabs". - asad ( talk) 12:50, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

Biosketch, in a reply to Cptnono, you wrote: "One way or another, everything with you boils down to GA in the end, doesn't it. Actually, since those days when we'd back-and-forthed about it with Gatoclass (talk · contribs), I've become a strong proponent of including Background sections in my own new articles, which I guess you can take credit for." I'd be interested to read the discussion with Gatoclass, but I've failed to turn it up using simple Google searches.

Edit summaries such as this are personal attacks. They are also patently false, as evidenced by the very fact that you did not simply revert me but rather corrected the issue that the tag was placed to bring attention to. If you continue making such attacks I may request administrative assistance. Bye. nableezy - 16:23, 19 October 2011 (UTC)
I asked why you edited Narus for a reason. You declined to answer so I am left with my initial thoughts as to why you went to edit that article (that being you saw me discussing it). It didnt matter to me, but it has apparently gotten you all worked up. As for your problem with my participating at Talk:Anti-Zionism: I am not under any obligation to withdraw from discussions just because you take part in them. I watch that article and I saw an often troublesome user attempting to make claims about a source that was not supported by Wikipedia policy. (Going to my Biosketch voice, just for fun) I identified this as an agenda-driven attempt to remove, again, material on Jewish anti-Zionism, and I determined that I had an obligation to clean up after said troublesome editor to ensure that he was not able to continue with their disruptive actions. You claim that I am trying to run into you, but both diffs you brought of edits you cant tolerate occured in articles you had never edited. It is a self-evidently false statement, I would hazard a guess that it is intentionally false, that you try to avoid me as you actively are getting involved in articles in which you had no involvement with prior to my editing it. Contrast that with the claim of me trying to run into you by editing talk pages that I have edited from before you registered this account and you will find yet another example of dishonest hypocritical agenda-driven behavior by your good self.
You apparently did not understand my comment at Huldra's talkpage, and the idea that my tagging an unreferenced article on a basketball league is evidence of my "anti-Zionist agenda" is so off the wall that I struggle to adequetely describe the claim. Think whatever you liked about my so-called warped perception of Zionism, what you think does not matter. What does matter is your repeated use of edit-summaries to make hypocritical and dishonest attacks on others. I have already raised the issue of your dishonest edit-summaries. You can ignore this second warning if you like, but the third time wont be the charm. Any more garbage from you and it is straight to AE for me. You may not have noticed, but I dont have your poor record there. Try me if you insist, but Im done trying to get you to cease with your attacks on my own. If I need to ask for administrative assistance to do so, as I apparently cannot get you to agree to cease making such baseless and hypocritical attacks on my own, Ill do that. Bye. nableezy - 15:50, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
OK now. Leave me out of this. I acquitted nobody. All I said, basically, was that Biosketch's choice of words in an edit summary was poor judgment, and Nableezy's interpretation of that as a personal attack seemed unwarranted. Yet here you two are, still arguing about it.
On the internet, whoever gets the last word in an argument loses. This seems really hard for most folks to comprehend, but if you think about it hard enough, you'll eventually understand (hint: the one getting the last word is talking to no one by that point). And I don't mind being the loser here, if you both decide to drop the discussion. You've each had your say. Neither of you will convince the other. ~ Amatulić ( talk) 17:25, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

My Hebrew skills are too primitive to argue, but I'll note that the paper I cited (by two academics at Hebrew University) says "Rachelim is Hebrew for Rachels. Interestingly, Rachelim is the masculine form of the plural. Rachelot is the feminine form." I suspect there was some gender-ideology involved in choosing the name, as the paper also says that the women who founded the settlement wrote a manifesto that was noted for using the feminine plural throughout, "a powerful statement in Hebrew, which is a gender-sensitive language and in which the generic plural is masculine".

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a
Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style makes articles harder to read. Please take a look at the

In regards to your revert at Golan Heights without posting on the talk page. YehudaTelAviv64 ( talk) 15:44, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
If you wish to avoid being blocked, instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to discuss the changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. You may still be blocked for edit warring even if you do not exceed the technical limit of the three-revert rule if your behavior indicates that you intend to continue to revert repeatedly.
You may want to reconsider the AE report. I dont think it is fair to call either diff 2 or 3 a "revert". The edits you claim he is reverting took place 6 and 10 months ago. Removing material can only be fairly called a revert if the user is aware of the edit that placed it in the article. nableezy - 00:30, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
Your revert without explaining on the talk page constitutes edit warring: "In accordance with Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Palestine-Israel articles#Discretionary sanctions, editors of this article are restricted to 1 revert per 24 hours and MUST explain the revert on the talk page. Violations of this restriction will lead to blocks." YehudaTelAviv64 ( talk) 07:46, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
I have closed this report with an admonition to the other party about the exhibited behavior. However, myself and another admin felt your inclusion of months old otherwise innocuous diffs borders on being bad faith at the worst and "stacking the deck" at least. Please confine diffs to recent behavior when making reports. While previous sanctions or admin actions can be mentioned we usually are usually familiar with those as well, be careful using them.

Hey there. I declined your request to semi-protect List of companies of Israel as there really isn't enough activity to justify it. I've warned the anon concerned about adding incorrect information to articles. If you're reverting vandalism (and this sort of behaviour counts as vandalism), you can use the templates here to do that. Specifically, in this case, {{ subst:uw-error1}} and its escalations apply. If an editor continues to vandalise after a level 4 warning, you can report them at WP:AIV where an admin will consider blocking them.
Though do remember that we WP:Don't template the regulars.
You can also use a gadget like Twinkle to make reverting, warning and reporting to admins much easier.
Hope this helps and enjoy editing Wikipedia! -- GraemeL (talk) 18:20, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

Hi Biosketch! I believe Calcalist is the biggest financial news website in Israel, but between the sites that participated in the survey, both TheMarker and Globes are correct—they're just using selective statistics. TheMarker had the most visit on a monthly basis, while Globes leads on a daily basis. How this is possible is unclear, but it is implied that the monthly figure counted unique hits, while the daily figure counted overall hits (this explains how a site with an average of 100,000+ daily hits, can have only ~550,000 monthly hits). I think we should present the factual statistics without commenting on them, but finding a tech website that presents the same stats would also be helpful, as it would probably explain more about the technical aspects of the survey. — Ynhockey ( Talk) 13:26, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

Hi Biosketch,
Yet again, I decided to contact you because I know you have a lot of knowledge on this subject - I need your help in improving and expanding this article which is currently in my sandbox. The article was previously deleted twice for various reasons (which in my opinion never really justified its completed deletion) - As far as I remember, in the first time it was deleted because the article was in poor shape and not sourced properly, therefore the claims that it should be deleted due to WP:NOTNEWS became the primary basis for its eventual deletion. The second time around (about half a year ago) it almost survived the AfD but eventually it was decided that the article would be deleted ALTHOUGH the article was considerably expanded and improved while the AfD took place, and therefore in my opinion the eventual majority vote (the result was very close to a no consensus) did not fully reflect the expanded and improved version of the article. Either way, one of the most important comments which were made by the participants of the last AfD, which in my opinion must be taken into account, was that the article was not suitable for an encyclopedia because it was only covered in sources published during or immediately after the event, without further analysis or discussion - I am convinced that at this point in time we would be capable (especially if the editors whom know Hebrew and are knowledgeable about this specific topic would join forces on this one) to provide sufficient resources that cover the event over a long period of time and provide further analysis or discussion.
Please help me fix the main issues raised in last AfD and further expand the article so that there would be justification to keep it in the main namespace in Wikipedia.
Thanks in advance,

I looked on the Talk page and could find nothing; however, I will also comment on this issue there.-- Soulparadox ( talk) 04:39, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

Nice job on the new article! I am puzzled by one point, though, which may need clarification or correction: why the "main" marathon race? Are there others taking place at the marathon distance? (If there are shorter events involved, then by definition, of course, they are not marathons.) Very best, Hertz1888 ( talk) 10:19, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
You did Brewcrewer no service by your reinstatement of his denigrating personal remarks about me. They are off-topic for article talk, and they violate Wikipedia:Comment on content, not on the contributor, as I stated in the edit summary for the edit you reverted to reinstate them. Further, the matter was already under discussion on his talk ( a discussion I also linked to in my edit summary ), and from that discussion you would have known that there's a possibility the dispute could end up at AE. Please revert yourself; I was attempting to resolve this with Brewcrewer, and your reinstatement just ratchets up the potential for unnecessary dramah. -- OhioStandard ( talk) 20:17, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

The Arbitration Committee has permitted administrators to impose discretionary sanctions (information on which is at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions) on any editor who is active on pages broadly related to the Arab-Israeli conflict. Discretionary sanctions can be used against an editor who repeatedly or seriously fails to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, satisfy any standard of behavior, or follow any normal editorial process. If you continue to misconduct yourself on pages relating to this topic, you may be placed under sanctions, which can include blocks, a revert limitation, or an article ban. The Committee's full decision can be read at the " Final decision" section of the decision page.
Please familiarise yourself with the information page at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions, with the appropriate sections of Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Procedures, and with the case decision page before making any further edits to the pages in question. This notice is given by an uninvolved administrator and will be logged on the case decision, pursuant to the conditions of the Arbitration Committee's discretionary sanctions system.

Thank you for your note. You are right and I was mistaken: Vanunu was born in Morocco and immigrated to Israel as a child. Hope the changes just made are OK. User:Emesz —Preceding undated comment added 00:23, 13 March 2011 (UTC).
Another editor has reported you for breeching the one revert per 24 hours (1/rr) rule that is in place in the Palestinian-Israel conflict topic area. I recommend that you do not continue to revert. I also recommend that you read up on Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Palestine-Israel articles#Further remedies. This 1/rr has been very useful in tempering the edit warring that has been common in the topic area.
I assume you were not aware of this unless you really were just thumbing your nose at the rules. Blocks are meant to be preventative and not punitive so if you express on the edit warring report that the 1/rr issue is now clear and that you won't be violating again then you might be able to avoid a block.

User:Ajnem, please consider that the frequency and nature of your edits at Itamar killings may constitute a violation of the 1RR restriction. While they appear to be in good faith, they are also symptomatic of WP:OWN. Without having warned you first, Administrators are unlikely to take action; so please review Wikipedia policy at WP:1RR and in particular keep in mind the following: An editor must not perform more than one revert on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert.

Transclusion isn't as horrible as it sounds;
I just made a little test page, User:Biosketch/Test page, which contains "Test page la la la".
If I put, right here, {{User:Biosketch/Test page}}, it will show the contents of it;
Test page la la la
...and if that page changes, then it'll change here too.
You can think of transclusion as 'subroutines' - for adding common text on several pages. They can also do cleverer stuff, with conditional code - like "If I'm being transcluded on user page say THIS, otherwise say THAT". So, they're used for all kinds of things.
I hope that maybe unravels the mystery a little! Cheers, Chzz ► 13:42, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
Hence, the second number will change regularly - but the first will never change.
The same applies to subst'ing and transcluding a page.
I hope that helps! Cheers, Chzz ► 21:42, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

OK, that's not actually a transclusion thing; the "File usage" is generated automatically by the mediawiki software.
There's no easy way (that I know) to get a list in a wiki-code-format; you could copy/paste and add the [[ ]] things, I suppose. Or, if there were lots (e.g. 100+), it'd be worth asking someone with database access to get a list for you - [1].
But the easiest answer is, use the popups gadget - in My Preferences, under the 'Gadgets' tab, under "Browsing", there is Navigation popups, article previews and editing functions popup when hovering over links. If you 'checkbox' that...then whenever you hover your mouse over a file-link (such as this one: File:Golan Heights Map.PNG), you should see a list of pages using it.
That's probably the best way to keep an eye on what pages use a file, really; keep a list of the files you are interested in, and just hover your mouse over them to see which pages are using them.
You could list them using "lf" (which stands for "link file) to give links, e.g.
* {{lf|Golan Heights Map.PNG}}
Which will look like this;
That gives you the 'links' link, showing what-links-here for the file.
Sorry though; I can't think of a way to actively monitor changes in which pages use a file. If that's what you really need, I suggest asking on the helpdesk, as others might know of some tools, or something. Cheers, Chzz ► 10:05, 31 July 2011 (UTC)

Hi Biosketch, I saw your posts at AGK's talk page. Have you heard about my hacker ordeal? When I decided to end the game I played with the hacker, and to change my password, it was really hard for me to do so. It almost looked as somebody from the other site is preventing me from doing so. My gmail account went absolutely crazy. I am not sure if you're having the same issues. BTW there is button that is named "details" Look for the text:
Visit settings to save time with keyboard shortcuts! You are currently using 0 MB (0 %) of your 7588 MB. Last account activity: 1 hour ago at this IP (--------). Details
I replaced my IP with -------, but just by looking at this line you could see, if somebody with a different IP entered your account. Then click that "Detail" button, and it will give you the full report of the stupid and criminal hackers activities if your account was hacked. The hacker IP will be in the red color and in the first line/lines of the report. Please feel free to ask me more questions. Cheers.-- Mbz1 ( talk) 04:46, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

This edit summary is absurd. The lone sentence I removed in the preceding edit was The kibbutz has an industrial aria which includes factories for producing stretch films and other plastic films. That sentence was cited to the website of a company that makes such films, meaning it was promotional spam not cited to a third party reliable source. To call that removal possible POV pushing/selective removal of content is absurd. Do not continue making such comments about me. Also, do not continue hounding my edits. If you continue to do so I may ask for administrative assistance in stopping you from tendentiously following me around. It has gone past annoying, considering the absurd accusations that accompany your hounding. nableezy - 02:51, 4 July 2011 (UTC)
Kids, stop it. Please. -- ElComandanteChe ( talk) 10:03, 4 July 2011 (UTC)
Now you actually are getting on my nerves. You describe the removal of unsourced material as a "controversial edit", something that an "an anon IP might try to pull". WP:V specifies that any unsourced material may be removed by an editor. That is Wikipedia policy, and doing so is not "controversial". I use {{ cn}} when there is some mundane detail that needs a source, this was not that. I removed a completely unsourced sentence. That is something we are supposed to do, that is, those of us not interested in seeing how many times we can include the word terrorist in a sentence (only 2 above, you need to try harder). At Niran, there was a companies website used as a source for the existence of the company and information on what they manufacture. That you think that is acceptable for a company to be advertised in such a way in an encyclopedia article is nice, but unimportant. Wikipedia has policies on what may be included in articles. All material must be cited to third party reliable sources. Our articles do not exist to advertise for private companies.
There was nothing wrong with including the Arabic script in the caption of the article, and many articles include foreign language script within them while giving a translation. I did not do anything there because dealing with you was not worth the irritation. But that edit does not entitle you to begin following my contributions to further whatever feud you think you have with me.
Ill deal with your "hounding" allegations now, because they are easily the most absurd ones I have seen in a long time, and it took me a bit to craft, lets go with, appropriate response. I am so very sorry for using the word emphatically after you did. I must never have used such a word in the past, I surely saw your post at ANI and decided to use it there. I mean, what are the chances that I have used the word emphatically in the past? I mean, that must be impossible, and of course never at AE. You think I followed you to Reenem's talk page? I have been dealing with that user over the same issue for some time now, your visit there had nothing to do with my message to the user. A brief look at the user's talk page should make any person who was interested in ensuring the veracity of their complaints see that such a charge is patently bogus. Much like everything else in the 8.5 kB above. But, about my diagnosis, given that you admit to hounding my contributions, doing so over breakfast, do you really question it? Again, the problem is not the hounding, I can deal with it, but I may be inclined to return the favor. The problem is the asinine accusation, that you repeat above, that the removal of a companies website as a "source" for an encyclopedia article is "POV-pushing". This was way too much time for me to get to the point here, so Ill do so now. WP:HOUND specifies that [i]f "following another user around" is accompanied by tendentiousness, personal attacks, or other disruptive behavior, it may become a very serious matter and could result in blocks and other editing restrictions. If you continue hounding my edits with the apparent aim of annoying me I may seek such restrictions. You admit above that have, repeatedly, gone through my contributions to inhibit my work at separate articles. You do so on the most spurious of grounds, and make personal attacks such as "POV-pushing". Kindly stop doing so. I dont have a problem discussing the content of the articles, I do however have a problem dealing with people whose aim it is to annoy me. You are quickly demonstrating which of those things you are interested in doing. A commonly used phrase is "comment on the content, not the contributor". If you can do that with me, I will respond in kind, and we will not have problems.

<- Biosketch, I have something to say about "When you go around removing content – even unsourced content – from articles in a way that can be construed as being motivated by a particular agenda, it undermines the confidence your colleagues have in you and you should not be surprised that they monitor your edits from time to time." This is completely wrong. The topic area is covered by sanctions. It is essential that content is sourced and if it is not it can and should be removed as quickly as possible. I see both "pro-Israeli" and "pro-Palestinian" editors (if we can use those meaningless terms) removing unsourced content in what could be construed as being motivated by a particular agenda very often and it in no way undermines my confidence in their editing because they are doing what they are supposed to do. Imagined patterns and motivations don't matter, people/personalities don't matter if the edits are consistent with the rules. There is far too much focus on people here, it's unhealthy and obsessive, imagining what they are thinking and feeling, what drives them etc, when the only thing that matters is whether their edits are consistent with the set of rules and objectives of the project. I think you are being drawn into the destructive cult of personality that so many people, often toipic banned editors, try to foster here. It turns the place into a war zone. Sean.hoyland - talk 06:33, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
Biosketch, I don't normally invest much time talking to other editors because talking is overated, but I'm making an exception for you. Take it as a compliment because I think you are a good editor who is losing their way a bit.
I'm not defending a side here. There are no sides. It's not a battlefield. It's about resolving interpersonal conflicts that shouldn't be happening because they are irrelevant to the objectives of the project.
I'm aware of what it says in WP:V and WP:EDIT. I'm not a new editor and I've seen how they can be misused by editors to preserve substandard content they like or remove content they don't like. Such is life. Let's agree to disagree about how to interpret and implement policy with respect to unsourced information in a topic area covered by sanctions in a way that maximises compliance with the mandatory core policies of the project.
Regarding my being "remiss in not bringing people to the attention of the community or at least advising them strongly against such behavior", I'm not a fan of pursuing, badgering and purging people because I disagree with their interpretation of policy or because I see a pattern in their edits that may or may not represent something (and certainly not because of their opinions about the world). I reserve that for the worst offenders and my getting-people-blocked metric is near perfect, the one exception I can think of who had been causing disruption for weeks and weeks simply stopped editing after I reported them. I could elaborate on this point giving some examples of several editors who I think would certainly be blocked if I reported them based on a large but selective sampling of their edits. They are all what people call "pro-Israel" for reasons that are never quite clear. I'm not going to because, on balance, the evidence indicates that, although they are at times highly problematic and have difficulty complying with the sanctions, they do more good than harm contentwise as far as I can tell. I don't think that is how admins at AE would see it though. How I deal with people is my choice and from what I've observed, my methods do okay.
We could have a discussion about generating or identifying patterns, trying to interpret those patterns, and how foolhardy it is to not appreciate or understand the degree to which eyes are already shut off from what you describe as the "reality" (but actually just a model) those patterns are supposed to represent. It's somewhat off topic though.
You cite Yachad or J Street. This is where your patterns get you into trouble because built into them are all sorts of invalid assumptions about sampling a very large information space and editor actions within that space. There is a reason for everything but as is so often the case when dealing with people, you won't know unless you ask. Since you asked, there is nothing in Yachad that is unsourced or inaccurate. The problem there is quite the opposite. The content is sourced directly from their site and it is a series of small copyright violations. There's a reason for that. The article was written by Yachad. It's a problem, yes. Do I care ? Yes, not much though, it's not a priority for me. Do I care about the organization Yachad ? Not in the slightest. For interest, I saw the article by chance, the best way, because I use a tool that monitors various IRC feeds and saw an edit by an IP editor whose machine generated "reputation" metric was very low, so it caught my eye. I had know idea what or where this thing called Yachad was, and expected it to be a village somewhere. By the time I got there someone had reverted but from a quick look at the article it was clear that it needed work. I brought it into the topic area by tagging/categorizing it and did as much as I had time+interest to do. Others can fix it or perhaps I will one day, who knows. As for J-Street, an edit summary came up on my watchlist that said "Controversy: Changed description of Code Pink from "anti-Israel" to "anti-war" per WP:NPOV. To imply that being against the occupation is being anti-Israel (as the quite biases sources do) is not acceptable". I checked it and removed a BLP violation. I didn't even look at the rest of the article. So, for Yachad or J Street, these are simply 2 examples of the millions of things I haven't done in Wikipedia everyday since I signed up. You could have cited my recent edits at Hans Hofmann or Hinchinbrook Island as examples where I have left information unsourced. Far worse than that, if you are looking for inconsistency and policy violations, with Hinchinbrook Island, I actually added unsourced information (which I suppose is potentially contentious to the handful of people who care) because I happen to know it's true (=COI), the horror. I make no claims of consistency. A piece of advice someone gave me a very long time ago, "don't expect rationality". It has served me well for many years.
Bear in mind, and this might interest you, that my sampling of the I-P topic area (and some other problematic but less active topic areas) is deliberately randomized to a large extent. I do this in 3 main ways
If I'm working on a specific article over an extended period of time it's different. I read the entire article and check everyone's edits over the past x hours keeping a special eye on IP's.
As a general point, so you understand where I'm coming from, in the world of wiki, I'm not interesting in individuals (a very Western way of looking at things I might add) or ambiguous, non-deterministic, non-repeatable procedures based on wooly policies that say what might or could be "good practice" under certain poorly constrained data dependent conditions according to different people at different times...depending on what mood they're in etc. When it comes to delete or fix decisions, I'm much more interested in and favour edits that, as a matter of fact, measurably increase the degree to which an article complies with the core mandatory policies no matter whether that entails removal or addition of content. You'll note there that there is no mention of the nature of the content, which side of an imagined pro/anti something boundary it falls on because I don't know where that boundary is. I can only see what the content says and what the reliable sources say if anything. Do I go around removing unsourced content (assuming I had time to do such a thing) ? Not often, I tend to try to fix things if I have time or leave them be unless they are really bad but I will defend editors policy based right to do it. Did I say that I am "an enthusiastic" proponent of anything ? No, I said that I support it because it is consistent with policy as I see it. Again, you are modeling and talking about an editor, me in this case, as if they are a human being with feelings. Can you not simply accept that you know nothing about this "reality" you speak of with any degree of confidence that matters to Wikipedia and instead just focus on the content and what reliable sources say about the subjects of articles ? Focusing on what you can reliably know and can reliably verify, namely whether content complies with policy, and acting in accord with your interpretation of policy is simpler.You are focusing on editors and you're coming into conflict because you are focusing on editors. You are talking to them as if you understand this "reality" of "basic human nature" you refer to, as if you can reliably identify patterns and model people. You can't, you will get it wrong and it has and will continue to result in conflict. Regarding AE, people who get blocked there are often the editors who try to make a model of other editors, edit according to that model and consequently get into conflict with this thing they have modeled. Imagine what might happen if, when it comes to content, you just treated Nableezy as a Turing Award winning content generation and management machine rather than tried to model him as a person with all of the complexity that entails. He's given you a clue by saying ""comment on the content, not the contributor". If you can do that with me, I will respond in kind, and we will not have problems." Why not give it a try ? You have nothing to lose.
Please don't take anything I have said as a criticism. I'm just offering an alternative view. That's all. My aim is to present you with a different perspective that I think might help reduce conflict. Above all, remember that people are idiots, all of us, and give people a break.

Hi Biosketch, I found an interesting report that provides some statistics on patents, scientific research and other things between Israel and twenty two Arab countries, for example like this: "Israel registered 16,805 patents and 836 Arabs as a whole". The best part of it that this research was written by a Palestinian scientist, and it was published in quite a few Arabic RS. I believe wikipedia readers would be interested to read about this research, but I am a little bit busy in a real life, and have a few other things to do on wikipedia. So maybe you could think, if there's something that could be done with this report? Cheers.-- Mbz1 ( talk) 10:42, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

Please show me where I have used the word terror or terrorist in this wikipedia entry itself. I believe that I have not done so. I have simply added to a section that already exists. If you want to change the existing text then do not direct your remarks to me. If you want to discuss the need for extra references to show that the groups listed are widely regarded as terrorist then you should make that clear on the discussion page before you posit a revert. I am happy to join you in doing so, but you need to do that for all entries not just the ones that I have added. In short I am surprised by your need to point out WP:TERRORIST. to me.

Hello! "2011 southern Israel cross-border attacks" is merely our description of the event, not a formal or generally accepted name. In such cases, the MoS calls for us to word the lead in normal English, not to force the inclusion of the article's title (which carries no special significance).
Quoth MOS:BOLDTITLE: "If the page title is descriptive it does not need to appear verbatim in the main text, and even if it does it should not be in boldface."
In this instance, as in most, forcing the article's title into the lead results in awkward redundancy:
The 2011 southern Israel cross-border attacks were a series of attacks carried out by Palestinian militants on August 18, 2011 in southern Israel near the Egyptian border.
In a single sentence, we're stating that the "2011 southern Israel cross-border attacks" were attacks carried out in 2011 at an Israeli border.
The entirety of WP:SBE addresses this issue. In particular, see the "January 31, 2007 Boston bomb scare" example, for which it's explained that the practice "gives undue weight to the chosen title, implying that it is an official term, commonly-accepted name, or the only acceptable title, when it is actually just a description and the event or topic is given many different names in common usage."

I asked why you edited Narus for a reason. You declined to answer so I am left with my initial thoughts as to why you went to edit that article (that being you saw me discussing it). It didnt matter to me, but it has apparently gotten you all worked up. As for your problem with my participating at Talk:Anti-Zionism: I am not under any obligation to withdraw from discussions just because you take part in them. I watch that article and I saw an often troublesome user attempting to make claims about a source that was not supported by Wikipedia policy. (Going to my Biosketch voice, just for fun) I identified this as an agenda-driven attempt to remove, again, material on Jewish anti-Zionism, and I determined that I had an obligation to clean up after said troublesome editor to ensure that he was not able to continue with their disruptive actions. You claim that I am trying to run into you, but both diffs you brought of edits you cant tolerate occured in articles you had never edited. It is a self-evidently false statement, I would hazard a guess that it is intentionally false, that you try to avoid me as you actively are getting involved in articles in which you had no involvement with prior to my editing it. Contrast that with the claim of me trying to run into you by editing talk pages that I have edited from before you registered this account and you will find yet another example of dishonest hypocritical agenda-driven behavior by your good self.
You apparently did not understand my comment at Huldra's talkpage, and the idea that my tagging an unreferenced article on a basketball league is evidence of my "anti-Zionist agenda" is so off the wall that I struggle to adequetely describe the claim. Think whatever you liked about my so-called warped perception of Zionism, what you think does not matter. What does matter is your repeated use of edit-summaries to make hypocritical and dishonest attacks on others. I have already raised the issue of your dishonest edit-summaries. You can ignore this second warning if you like, but the third time wont be the charm. Any more garbage from you and it is straight to AE for me. You may not have noticed, but I dont have your poor record there. Try me if you insist, but Im done trying to get you to cease with your attacks on my own. If I need to ask for administrative assistance to do so, as I apparently cannot get you to agree to cease making such baseless and hypocritical attacks on my own, Ill do that. Bye. nableezy - 15:50, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
OK now. Leave me out of this. I acquitted nobody. All I said, basically, was that Biosketch's choice of words in an edit summary was poor judgment, and Nableezy's interpretation of that as a personal attack seemed unwarranted. Yet here you two are, still arguing about it.
On the internet, whoever gets the last word in an argument loses. This seems really hard for most folks to comprehend, but if you think about it hard enough, you'll eventually understand (hint: the one getting the last word is talking to no one by that point). And I don't mind being the loser here, if you both decide to drop the discussion. You've each had your say. Neither of you will convince the other. ~ Amatulić ( talk) 17:25, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

My Hebrew skills are too primitive to argue, but I'll note that the paper I cited (by two academics at Hebrew University) says "Rachelim is Hebrew for Rachels. Interestingly, Rachelim is the masculine form of the plural. Rachelot is the feminine form." I suspect there was some gender-ideology involved in choosing the name, as the paper also says that the women who founded the settlement wrote a manifesto that was noted for using the feminine plural throughout, "a powerful statement in Hebrew, which is a gender-sensitive language and in which the generic plural is masculine".

If you wish to avoid being blocked, instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to discuss the changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. You may still be blocked for edit warring even if you do not exceed the technical limit of the three-revert rule if your behavior indicates that you intend to continue to revert repeatedly.
You may want to reconsider the AE report. I dont think it is fair to call either diff 2 or 3 a "revert". The edits you claim he is reverting took place 6 and 10 months ago. Removing material can only be fairly called a revert if the user is aware of the edit that placed it in the article. nableezy - 00:30, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

However, myself and another admin felt your inclusion of months old otherwise innocuous diffs borders on being bad faith at the worst and "stacking the deck" at least.

Hey there. I declined your request to semi-protect List of companies of Israel as there really isn't enough activity to justify it. I've warned the anon concerned about adding incorrect information to articles. If you're reverting vandalism (and this sort of behaviour counts as vandalism), you can use the templates here to do that. Specifically, in this case, {{ subst:uw-error1}} and its escalations apply. If an editor continues to vandalise after a level 4 warning, you can report them at WP:AIV where an admin will consider blocking them.
Though do remember that we WP:Don't template the regulars.
You can also use a gadget like Twinkle to make reverting, warning and reporting to admins much easier.

The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Compugen (Israeli company).You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000.

Hi Biosketch! I believe Calcalist is the biggest financial news website in Israel, but between the sites that participated in the survey, both TheMarker and Globes are correct—they're just using selective statistics. TheMarker had the most visit on a monthly basis, while Globes leads on a daily basis. How this is possible is unclear, but it is implied that the monthly figure counted unique hits, while the daily figure counted overall hits (this explains how a site with an average of 100,000+ daily hits, can have only ~550,000 monthly hits). I think we should present the factual statistics without commenting on them, but finding a tech website that presents the same stats would also be helpful, as it would probably explain more about the technical aspects of the survey. — Ynhockey ( Talk) 13:26, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

Hello, I read your article about Gilat and my impression was that there is much more information to include there. For example, you didn't mention all of Gilat's products, such as its Defense modems, Antenna system, BUCS etc. Also you didn't specify which markets Gilat supports - Commercial VSAT technology, Defense & Homeland Security and Managed services in the USA, Peru and Colombia. And why isn't there a logo? I thought maybe you will be interested if I sent you some information and you will update the article. Thanks!

orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed.
You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see
our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box.

Hi Biosketch,
Yet again, I decided to contact you because I know you have a lot of knowledge on this subject - I need your help in improving and expanding this article which is currently in my sandbox. The article was previously deleted twice for various reasons (which in my opinion never really justified its completed deletion) - As far as I remember, in the first time it was deleted because the article was in poor shape and not sourced properly, therefore the claims that it should be deleted due to WP:NOTNEWS became the primary basis for its eventual deletion. The second time around (about half a year ago) it almost survived the AfD but eventually it was decided that the article would be deleted ALTHOUGH the article was considerably expanded and improved while the AfD took place, and therefore in my opinion the eventual majority vote (the result was very close to a no consensus) did not fully reflect the expanded and improved version of the article. Either way, one of the most important comments which were made by the participants of the last AfD, which in my opinion must be taken into account, was that the article was not suitable for an encyclopedia because it was only covered in sources published during or immediately after the event, without further analysis or discussion - I am convinced that at this point in time we would be capable (especially if the editors whom know Hebrew and are knowledgeable about this specific topic would join forces on this one) to provide sufficient resources that cover the event over a long period of time and provide further analysis or discussion.
Please help me fix the main issues raised in last AfD and further expand the article so that there would be justification to keep it in the main namespace in Wikipedia.
Thanks in advance,

You did Brewcrewer no service by your reinstatement of his denigrating personal remarks about me. They are off-topic for article talk, and they violate Wikipedia:Comment on content, not on the contributor, as I stated in the edit summary for the edit you reverted to reinstate them. Further, the matter was already under discussion on his talk ( a discussion I also linked to in my edit summary ), and from that discussion you would have known that there's a possibility the dispute could end up at AE. Please revert yourself; I was attempting to resolve this with Brewcrewer, and your reinstatement just ratchets up the potential for unnecessary dramah. -- OhioStandard ( talk) 20:17, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

The Arbitration Committee has permitted administrators to impose discretionary sanctions (information on which is at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions) on any editor who is active on pages broadly related to the Arab-Israeli conflict. Discretionary sanctions can be used against an editor who repeatedly or seriously fails to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, satisfy any standard of behavior, or follow any normal editorial process. If you continue to misconduct yourself on pages relating to this topic, you may be placed under sanctions, which can include blocks, a revert limitation, or an article ban. The Committee's full decision can be read at the " Final decision" section of the decision page.
Please familiarise yourself with the information page at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions, with the appropriate sections of Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Procedures, and with the case decision page before making any further edits to the pages in question. This notice is given by an uninvolved administrator and will be logged on the case decision, pursuant to the conditions of the Arbitration Committee's discretionary sanctions system.
