Because you are a new account, you may not be aware that articles related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, such as Im Tirtzu, are under sanctions including a 1RR restriction, meaning that rather than the bright line for edit-warring being more than 3 reverts in 24 hours, it is 1 revert, with a few exceptions. When one is in violation of this sanction - as you are, having made 2 3 [since you identified yourself as the IP] reverts in under 24 hours - the customary courtesy is to self-revert. If you choose not to, please be aware nonetheless that such behavior in future is likely to be reported to WP:EWN. –Roscelese (talkcontribs) 06:32, 18 September 2011 (UTC) (In this case, WP:AE is more appropriate.

Yes, please read the banner "WARNING: ACTIVE ARBITRATION REMEDIES" that I just added to the top of Talk:Im Tirtzu and the informational pages it links to. On reviewing the history of that page, it seems to me that you have the specific purpose of promoting Im Tirtzu, since you uniformly add material supportive of it and uniformly delete material critical of it, usually on dubious grounds. Your political opinions are your own business, but this type of promotional editing is not allowed. People have been banned for less. Zerotalk 06:56, 18 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

Zero, thanks for adding the banner. If you really read my history you would have seen that I also removed some parts that were in favor of Im Tirtzu. My political opinions are indeed my business, and the changes I added were ones that were required for the page's quality... MorningTwilight (talk) 10:26, 18 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

1RR

You already know that you can't make more than one revert per 24 hours on Israel/Palestine related articles, please self-revert at Im Tirtzu to avoid being reported. –Roscelese (talkcontribs) 09:14, 12 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hi, yes, you need to self-revert your removal of content for 2 reasons. Firstly

  • You removed the content here at 19:14, 11 January 2012.
  • You removed it again here at 09:03, 12 January 2012.

The article is covered by WP:1RR so you must self-revert. If you do not self-revert I will file a report at WP:ANEW. You have already been told about the 1RR restriction. All editors must comply with it in the topic area. There is no choice. The restrictions were put in place to stop people making the kind of revert you just made.

Secondly, the removals are not based on policy. Including controversial opinions from notable commentators published by reliable sources is fine and routine on Wikipedia. Please have a read through WP:NPOV, WP:ATTRIBUTEPOV in particular, and look at almost any article in the topic area or any subject that is controversial. "Their opinions are controversial" is not a policy compliant reason for removal and their opinions are not "already represented by the quotations from Chazan and El-Ad".

If you have policy based reasons why the content should be removed you should explain them on the article's talk page citing the relevant polcy and get consensus. Sean.hoyland - talk 09:27, 12 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

File permission problem with File:Ronen Shoval 1.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Ronen Shoval 1.jpg, which you've attributed to Ronen Shoval personal photo, as claimed by the uploader.. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy.

Hi, I forwarded an email from the owner of the picture to permissions-en@wikimedia.org. Is this sufficient? When will I know if this picture is approved? MorningTwilight (talk) 16:35, 8 November 2014 (UTC)Reply
If you sent an e-mail to the OTRS team with the name or URL of the photo, it should be sufficient. You'll have to wait a few days for it to be processed, since the OTRS system fully depends on volunteers. Vanjagenije (talk) 17:39, 11 November 2014 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Ronen Shoval

edit

Hello, MorningTwilight. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Ronen Shoval, for deletion because it's a biography of a living person that lacks references. If you don't want Ronen Shoval to be deleted, please add a reference to the article.

If you don't understand this message, you can leave a note on my talk page.

Thanks, Vanjagenije (talk) 11:16, 8 November 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hi Vanjagenije, Thank you for your message. I have added a reference and plan to add more in the future. Please let me know if this is sufficient, and if so, please remove the proposal. Thanks MorningTwilight (talk) 14:49, 8 November 2014 (UTC)Reply
Hi! Wikipedia articles need to cite reliable independent sources (see: WP:42). This is especially case with articles on living people (see: WP:BLP). You added two sources to the article. One is a book, and it's online, so I can't tell if that's OK. The other source is the web site of the Jewish Agency, but since this person is a member of the board, that source is not independent (see: WP:Independent). You'll have to find more reliable independent sources to cite, but you are on the right way. Feel free to ask me if you need any kind of help. Vanjagenije (talk) 20:05, 8 November 2014 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for the heads up! I updated some more citations, this time from reliable independent newspapers. I hope this is sufficient for removing the deletion proposal. Thanks MorningTwilight (talk) 23:49, 8 November 2014 (UTC)Reply
