Hello, Iskandar 323,
If you believe a category should have a different name, propose a category rename at WP:CFD. Do not empty a category "out of process" and create a new category. This loses all of the page history of the original category. I have undone your emptying of category Category:Beer in the State of Palestine. Please do not do this again. Make a proposal at CFD. If you make use of Twinkle, this process is very straight-forward but you'll need to include a reason for the change of name. If you have questions, please bring them to the Teahouse. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 01:13, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
You have shown interest in the Arab–Israeli conflict. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.
For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.
I'd just like to thank you for drawing Dalia Fadila to my attention. Goodness, how something like that escaped me is beyond me (well, not really. I find out every day a dozen things I should have known and yet . . ) Consider the stub a personal thank you note. Cheers Nishidani ( talk) 15:15, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
An article you recently created,
Manscaped, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from
reliable,
independent sources. (
?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (
verifiability is of
central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to
draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:
" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's
general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Couscous. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Points to note:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. M.Bitton ( talk) 12:00, 8 September 2021 (UTC)

Hi Iskander323, you really need ti check your references, you have linked a whole pile of articles to sea shepard- In word usage as on some islands (Isles of Scilly, Hebrides) a sea shepherd is a person who keeps sheep on one or more of the grassy uninhabited outlying islands, and once a year visits those islands in a boat to take away the year's breeding increase. lol Ilenart626 ( talk) 14:06, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
You broke 1RR [1], [2] Please remove your last edit additions. Thank you -- Shrike ( talk) 05:26, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
So there seems to be an edit war ongoing regarding the Al Asqa terrorist designation. The recommendations per WP:value laden terms were for an in line citation if there was widely accepted consensus about a group, which I did and you reverted. Other editors have reverted for other reasons despite being provided with multiple examples of similar Wikipedia articles about living persons including the designation. One editor commented that “Palestinians wouldn’t agree” with the terrorist designation.
What exactly is going on here? You mentioned you didn’t think I was “going about it by the right way,” but failed to provide a consensus edit. Concerned there is some bias at hand here. If you think I’m not going about it in the right way, what is your recommended “right way.” ?I will be reverting to your original edit (again) which was relieved by another editor. AVR2012 ( talk) 12:28, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
Agree Iksander. Similarly puzzled by the edit war over the terminology. The subject was a “hero” to certain people so perhaps the terrorist designation, while factually accurate, is a bridge to far for them. Which is a NPOV violation. Recent edits changed “civilians” to “targets” (a dehumanization) so this will likely end up being escalated.
Nishidani - WP:CIVIL AVR2012 ( talk) 00:39, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
As a looong-time editor in the IP area; a couple of observations: Yes, of course we should AGF (-and everybody claims they do!); but realize that the smallest infraction will get you reported, to AN, AN/I or AE. (I was just reported for reverting twice; 23 hours and 59 minutes apart ( link). So yeah; in the IP area, the 1RR is pretty much "written in stone".
Another thing: the area is rife with WP:SOCKs, and also very active recruiting by pro-Israeli organisations (including the Yesha Council). Some of the "newbies" you encounter in the IP area have more edits than me... Also; look at their 500 first edits; if they are more or less automatic; then suddenly after 500 edits they plunge into controversial IP articles, well, draw your own conclusion. (We can of of course never, ever accuse anyone of being a sock, except on the WP:CHK page. The most we can do (outside CHK) is to ask them if they ever had a prior accounts.) (For WP:MEAT; there is even less help), So: please be careful! cheers, Huldra ( talk) 21:34, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
I think you got some good advice, above - contrition and move on. Comments like the one you just made on the talk page of the article, describing the request for enforcement against you as a "technicality", and insisting the the criticism is due after explicitly being told by Johnuniq that it is undue, do not inspire confidence that you actually understand what the request was about, or that you will change your behavior. Inf-in MD ( talk) 14:08, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
@ Inf-in MD: I was just providing the context for those comments precisely because you were twisting the words. The enforcement action against me is over the 1RR, not explicitly over the content, which @ Nishidani: is still perfectly entitled to their own opinion about. Johnuniq was talking in part about criticism sections on pages in general, and in part about whether mentioning a company being placed on a list is placing undue weight on it. He didn't lay down some sort of absolute ruling for that particular article and content. I am not interested in inspiring confidence, only in being accurate and following the guidelines. Iskandar323 ( talk) 15:25, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
@ Inf-in MD: Well thank you for the advice that I'm sure you're giving me from the bottom of your heart, and not at all because you're intent on copying in Johnuniq because you think you're catching me out. Don't insult the intelligence of the admins with these playground antics. If you have a statement to make in the AE, make it there. Don't spam my talk page. The main reason for the enforcement action IS the 1RR, a technical matter, and not the content, which was a side topic. I just said that Nishidani is entitled to their own opinion. Commenting in a talk discussion is not me doing anything except commenting in a talk discussion. Iskandar323 ( talk) 16:04, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
I know you asked me to stay off this page, but I wanted to extend an olive branch one more time - feel free to ignore this or remove my comment if you want, and I won't post here again. You and I obviously don't share the same POV on the Israeli-Arab conflict, but you seemed to me a reasonable editor, open to collaborative editing (which is something I can't say about most of the others who share your POV and edit in this area.) - so shall we give it another go? I saw you had added a number of notable divestments that Kommunal Landspensjonskasse made around the world. I think a short sentence or two about them divesting from the 16 entities named in the UN report for working in the West Bank settlements could go there, and be relevant and WP:DUE. Inf-in MD ( talk) 18:01, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
Please refrain from doing so like you did here [4]. You should read WP:TWINKLEABUSE -- Shrike ( talk) 18:15, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
This last edit - [5] is your 4th revert. You should undo it, as it violates the 3 revert rule. If someone reported you for edit warring over this, it would not look good on the heels of the recent 1RR violation reported at AE. Inf-in MD ( talk) 20:07, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
Hello. I noticed you reverted a revert of your addition on Whaling in the Faroe Islands. By now, you're probably aware of the bold, discuss, revert cycle and the policy on edit warring, but it seems that it is necessary to remind you that edit warring is considered disruptive. Another reversion might be considered a violation of the three-revert rule. Please remember to discuss the addition on the talk page instead of reverting edits. Thank you. — LauritzT ( talk) 13:05, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
Thank you for
your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from
Brik into
Börek. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere,
Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an
edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and
linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution
. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{
copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also.

I think edits like these 2 - [6], [7] are skirting the line of your topic ban. Some may argue that by stating that something is in "The State of Palestine" (an entity whose very existence is at the heart of the conflict) you've already crossed that line. Just stay away from anything even remotely related to Israel/Palestine etc.. if you want to keep editing. Inf-in MD ( talk) 01:27, 29 September 2021 (UTC)
Guild of Copy Editors September 2021 Newsletter
Hello and welcome to the September GOCE newsletter, a brief update of Guild activities since June 2021. Current and upcoming events
September Drive: Our current backlog-elimination drive is open until 23:59 on 30 September (UTC) and is open to all copy editors. Sign up today! Drive and Blitz reports
June Blitz: From 20 to 26 June, 6 participating editors claimed 16 copy edits, focusing on requests and articles tagged in March and April. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. July Drive: Almost 575,000 words of articles were copy edited for this event. Of the 24 people who signed up, 18 copyedited at least one article. Final results and awards are listed here. August Blitz: From 15 to 21 August, we copy edited articles tagged in April and May 2021 and requests. 9 participating editors completed 17 copy edits on the blitz. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. Other news
June election: Jonesey95 was chosen to continue as lead coordinator, assisted by Dhtwiki, Tenryuu, and Miniapolis. New maintenance template added to our project scope: After a short discussion in June, we added {{ cleanup tense}} to the list of maintenance templates that adds articles to the Guild's copy editing backlog categories. This change added 198 articles, spread over 97 months of backlog, to our queue. We processed all of those articles except for those from the three or four most recent months during the July backlog elimination drive (Here's a link to a "tense" discussion during the drive). Progress report: As of 18:26, 24 September 2021 (UTC), GOCE copyeditors have processed 468 requests since 1 January and there were 60 requests awaiting completion on the Requests page. The backlog of articles tagged for copy-editing stood at 433 (see monthly progress graph above). Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators Jonesey95, Dhtwiki, Tenryuu, and Miniapolis. To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from
our mailing list.

Inquire at Doug Weller --> [9] about this [10] GizzyCatBella 🍁 12:55, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
Someone used to edit sexual slavery in Islam a long time ago and felt as you did - that the article was horribly biased. So he emailed one of the authors cited extensively in the article, Kecia Ali, and she responded back! She said the worst thing about this article was that it didn't give enough historical context, as other societies in Middle East and Europe also used to exploit women. And when I read her works (and those by other scholars) I can see that they say things like "bad things happened to women in the Muslim world, these practices were by no means unique to Muslims". VR talk 20:53, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
Why was the edit reverted? The reason provided is not adequate, the section in which edit was made categorically states that the section is about rumours it is not something which is accepted by mainstream, i.e. hypothesis, I posted a valid hypothesis put forth by a historian and it was reverted because of Wikipedia:Fringe theories the section also vaguely stated that his 'palace' was discovered and therefore 'his burial site could be located nearby' if my edit according to you was an instance of Wikipedia:Fringe theories how is this not a violation too? — Preceding unsigned comment added by MindOfOm ( talk • contribs) 03:55, 29 October 2021 (UTC)
Iskandar, you may want to look at the contribution history of someone who reverted you just a few minutes after returning to wikipedia. @ Toddy1: as they are active active on that article and knows a thing or two about sockpuppets. We can also take this to ANI. VR talk 12:19, 29 October 2021 (UTC)

This last edit - [5] is your 4th revert. You should undo it, as it violates the 3 revert rule. If someone reported you for edit warring over this, it would not look good on the heels of the recent 1RR violation reported at AE. Inf-in MD ( talk) 20:07, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
Hello. I noticed you reverted a revert of your addition on Whaling in the Faroe Islands. By now, you're probably aware of the bold, discuss, revert cycle and the policy on edit warring, but it seems that it is necessary to remind you that edit warring is considered disruptive. Another reversion might be considered a violation of the three-revert rule. Please remember to discuss the addition on the talk page instead of reverting edits. Thank you. — LauritzT ( talk) 13:05, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
Thank you for
your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from
Brik into
Börek. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere,
Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an
edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and
linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution
. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{
copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at
Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. —

I think edits like these 2 - [6], [7] are skirting the line of your topic ban. Some may argue that by stating that something is in "The State of Palestine" (an entity whose very existence is at the heart of the conflict) you've already crossed that line. Just stay away from anything even remotely related to Israel/Palestine etc.. if you want to keep editing. Inf-in MD ( talk) 01:27, 29 September 2021 (UTC)
Guild of Copy Editors September 2021 Newsletter
Hello and welcome to the September GOCE newsletter, a brief update of Guild activities since June 2021. Current and upcoming events
September Drive: Our current backlog-elimination drive is open until 23:59 on 30 September (UTC) and is open to all copy editors. Sign up today! Drive and Blitz reports
June Blitz: From 20 to 26 June, 6 participating editors claimed 16 copy edits, focusing on requests and articles tagged in March and April. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. July Drive: Almost 575,000 words of articles were copy edited for this event. Of the 24 people who signed up, 18 copyedited at least one article. Final results and awards are listed here.

Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. Other news
June election: Jonesey95 was chosen to continue as lead coordinator, assisted by Dhtwiki, Tenryuu, and Miniapolis. New maintenance template added to our project scope: After a short discussion in June, we added {{ cleanup tense}} to the list of maintenance templates that adds articles to the Guild's copy editing backlog categories. This change added 198 articles, spread over 97 months of backlog, to our queue. We processed all of those articles except for those from the three or four most recent months during the July backlog elimination drive (Here's a link to a "tense" discussion during the drive). Progress report: As of 18:26, 24 September 2021 (UTC), GOCE copyeditors have processed 468 requests since 1 January and there were 60 requests awaiting completion on the Requests page. The backlog of articles tagged for copy-editing stood at 433 (see monthly progress graph above). Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators Jonesey95, Dhtwiki, Tenryuu, and Miniapolis. To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from
our mailing list.

Well done on catching seven sockpuppets at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Ap063gang/Archive. And thank you. Onceinawhile ( talk) 08:37, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
Regarding --> [8]
Inquire at Doug Weller --> [9] about this [10] GizzyCatBella 🍁 12:55, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
Someone used to edit sexual slavery in Islam a long time ago and felt as you did - that the article was horribly biased. So he emailed one of the authors cited extensively in the article, Kecia Ali, and she responded back! She said the worst thing about this article was that it didn't give enough historical context, as other societies in Middle East and Europe also used to exploit women. And when I read her works (and those by other scholars) I can see that they say things like "bad things happened to women in the Muslim world, these practices were by no means unique to Muslims".

Why was the edit reverted? The reason provided is not adequate, the section in which edit was made categorically states that the section is about rumours it is not something which is accepted by mainstream, i.e. hypothesis, I posted a valid hypothesis put forth by a historian and it was reverted because of Wikipedia:Fringe theories the section also vaguely stated that his 'palace' was discovered and therefore 'his burial site could be located nearby' if my edit according to you was an instance of Wikipedia:Fringe theories how is this not a violation too? — Preceding unsigned comment added by MindOfOm ( talk • contribs) 03:55, 29 October 2021 (UTC)
Iskandar, you may want to look at the contribution history of someone who reverted you just a few minutes after returning to wikipedia. @ Toddy1: as they are active active on that article and knows a thing or two about sockpuppets. We can also take this to ANI. VR talk 12:19, 29 October 2021 (UTC)
