Welcome!
editHello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions, such as the ones you made to Gabe Kapler. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

You don't have to log in to read or edit articles on Wikipedia, but if you wish to acquire additional privileges, you can simply create a named account. It's free, requires no personal information, and lets you:
- Create new pages and rename pages
- Edit semi-protected pages
- Upload images
- Have your own watchlist, which shows when articles you are interested in have changed
Note that in order for the first three features to be available, you must have had an account for a certain number of days and made a certain number of edits.
If you edit without using a named account, your IP address (184.153.21.19) is used to identify you instead.
I hope that you, as a Wikipedian, decide to continue contributing to our project: an encyclopedia of human knowledge that anyone can edit. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, or you can to ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. We also have an intuitive guide on editing if you're interested. By the way, please make sure to sign and date your talk page comments with four tildes (~~~~).
Happy editing! JesseRafe (talk) 13:22, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

editWelcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Dylan Cozens has been reverted.
Your edit here to Dylan Cozens was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (https://twitter.com/dylancozens) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, fansite, or similar site (see 'Links to avoid', #11), then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest).
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 11:38, 28 December 2018 (UTC)

If this is a shared IP address, and you didn't make the edit, please ignore this notice.
Please refrain from making test edits in Wikipedia pages, such as those you made to Fencers Club, even if you intend to fix them later. Your edits have been reverted. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Kindly don't just dump bare URLs into an article. Cite properly, including relevant bibliographic information. Do not insert references that do not verify the very facts that need verification. Drmies (talk) 15:07, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
- If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits referred to above, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so that you can avoid further irrelevant notices.
- I'm confused. Where is there a rule that I cannot source with a reliable source bare url? Where is there a rule that allows you to delete the supporting reliable source bare url? Where is there a rule that says that you can warn me for that? It is not a test edit. I am improving the article. Others can help me and improve it further. As I told you, my referene automated maker is not working at the moment. If it works, I am happy to use it. Why do you call it "dumping"? I am not dumping. I am adding a reliable source bare url. I am not experimenting. And what do you have in mind when you say that references I add do not verify the very facts that need verification. I think they do. What are you thinking of. Please indicate exactly. Thank you. And please revert yourself, because of the above. And why are you speaking in such an angry tone? I am trying to improve the wikipedia. User:JesseRafe - can you please take a look at this, as you welcomed me? Thank you. 184.153.21.19 (talk) 20:15, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
- "My automated longer reference function is not working"--mine isn't working either, so I do it by hand. You can do that too. You didn't, which is why the article looks like shit. And dumping (yes) a bare URL for something from a book is just incredibly unhelpful, since you need to provide proper bibliographical information, and that's more important than a URL. If you can take the time to find a reference for every single fencer, you can find the time to do it right. If you don't understand this edit summary, that's pretty sad. What needed verification is this "oldest continuing" stuff, and it doesn't. You may think it does, but it doesn't. Drmies (talk) 22:03, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your edits to Dominic Waters, please use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history, as well as helping prevent edit conflicts. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the article will look like without actually saving it.
It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance. When you use reFill 2 to fill in bare references, check your work. That tool adds a deprecated parameter that you must change manually to the new one. Isaidnoway (talk) 10:27, 8 November 2020 (UTC)

editIt's not "my" addition. You are very persistent in vandalism, I just reverted it. Just because a section is uncited doesn't mean it's false. Regarding the controversies, RandomCanadian is part of the administrators teams and your material is not valid according to some admins. .karellian-24 (talk) 10:33, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
- @.karellian-24: That's not right. RandomCanadian is a very experienced and good editor, but not an administrator. Also, who is an admin is not relevant when there is a disagreement over content (unless certain strict policies such as WP:BLP apply).
- @184.153.21.19: I am an administrator and will block this IP if the aggression is not reined in. Consensus has judged the disputed material to be undue. Do not pester editors on their talk pages; use article talk to discuss a disagreement about an article. The fact that something is true/sourced does not mean that WP:DUE applies. Also see WP:COATRACK. Johnuniq (talk) 04:01, 27 July 2021 (UTC)
- Please explain what you mean by aggression here. There was none. 184.153.21.19 (talk) 07:27, 1 October 2021 (UTC)

editIt is redundant to have "see also" sections include a list of Jewish baseball players along a list of Jewish sportspeople. The Jewish baseball player list is WP:FL, connoting the high quality.

Reconrabbit 16:17, 25 October 2024 (UTC)- Nice work. Though it would be even better if the lead of the article said more about Rosen than the company he leads. Reconrabbit 16:18, 25 October 2024 (UTC)
- Just saw this. I'll give some thought to that. Does any fact in the article jump out at you? The sale of cheesecakes in four minutes, or might run for mayor, or something else? --184.153.21.19 (talk) 06:28, 30 October 2024 (UTC)
- The sale of 2,400 cheesecakes in 4 minutes is definitely an interesting fact. I don't know about the running for mayor bit, though. Anyone who lives in New York can do that if they get a few signatures. Though you could certainly ask at Did You Know! You've got 2 more days to nominate the article there.

editAre you the same editor who created the page? Because having multiple accounts is a strict violation of the guidelines. I think a SPI needs to be opened here. MaskedSinger (talk) 05:42, 30 October 2024 (UTC)
- I don't have multiple accounts. But my internet provider sometimes rotates my IP. Not my doing. This is not unusual. Sometimes its called a dynamic IP address. The people at SPI can confirm this for you if you are unfamiliar with it. --184.153.21.19 (talk) 06:02, 30 October 2024 (UTC)
- be that as it may, there's enough smoke here to suggest theres some fire. MaskedSinger (talk) 06:22, 30 October 2024 (UTC)
- No. This is normal. You're just unfamiliar with it. But if you speak with the sysops at SPI, I expect they can explain how dynamic IPs in some circumstances (which is the case with mine) are how certain internet providers work. (I'm not sure of this, but I think it may provide some protection against hackers). Anyway, I didn't ask for it - it's just how the internet provider works. But as I said, if you are suspicious, speak to a third party who can allay your concerns. Plus - as the dynamic IPs used rotate, you can see simply by the above over the past half decade (whenever it happened to cycle through this IP address) that the contributions made by me are positive ones. --184.153.21.19 (talk) 06:26, 30 October 2024 (UTC)
- And you may find it helpful to read the Wikipedia language in green, at the bottom of this very page. Which says: " Many IP addresses change periodically...."
- I gather that you are not familiar with that. But the sysops at SPI can help you if you would like further discussion from the experts, I imagine. If you remain concerned, you might wish to write them. --184.153.21.19 (talk) 06:39, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

- Thanks. If you are cleaning up the page, you may wish to consider clarifying the first paragraph, to make clear it was not a decision on the merits (which are discussed), but rather simply on jurisdiction. --184.153.21.19 (talk) 06:51, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

editPlease do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did at Shahbudin Rahimtoola, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you. Indigobeam (talk) 07:56, 5 November 2024 (UTC)
Your recent editing history at Jewish pogrom in Amsterdam shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts 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. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

- Hi User:Tiggerjay. Thanks. Where the editor, as here, without any citations refers to "racist Israeli hooligan rioters" - is that vandalism of the sort that does not fit within the stated exemption to the three revert rule? I would have thought so. 184.153.21.19 (talk) 08:31, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
- You and Tommy are clearly in an edit war with this article, so regardless of what you feel is "true" that has no bearing on violating the three-revert-rule and other policies related to edit warring. Even little things like fighting over specific figures for fatalities. When you go back and forth editing, you need to STOP editing the article directly and take it to the talk page. Any further editing which is an unsourced changed to someone else's edits will result in a report for administrative action. TiggerJay (talk) 09:07, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks User:Tiggerjay. I had been under the impression that reverting obvious vandalism—edits that any well-intentioned user would agree constitute vandalism (not at all what I may "feel is true" .. that was never my thinking)--was an exemption from the three-edit rule. --184.153.21.19 (talk) 09:12, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, clear vandalism is exempted --- but that is very narrowly defined on purpose "deliberately intended to obstruct or defeat the project's purpose, which is to create a free encyclopedia, in a variety of languages, presenting the sum of all human knowledge." (WP:VANDAL). On the other hand "An edit war occurs when editors who disagree about the content of a page repeatedly override each other's contributions". That is what we have going on here. When you look at this edit, your revision was not because it was not true, or not properly sources, or vandalism, but rather because you disagreed with the use of the term "humiliation" (as stated in your edit summary). I ended up replacing it with a better source, and different term "thrashed" as that was used in the cited reference. But what I see Tommy posting isn't vandalism but rather him posting things you don't like, or disagree with, or one sided, or unsources -- but none of that qualifies as vandalism which exempts you from policies regarding WP:3R or WP:EW. TiggerJay (talk) 09:19, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks. I had mistakenly thought the definition of obvious vandalism was edits that any well-intentioned user would agree constitute vandalism. I was getting that from the 3RR rule. And I had though that the input of language - wholly uncited - identifying those attacked here as racist, etc., might perhaps .. given the lack of any refs, RS or otherwise, be seen as such. In short - isn't the addition of the word racist -- wholly uncited -- to describe people tantamount to obvious vandalism? (You will note btw, I made many talk page efforts to no avail with the editor). As to the number of those injured, I don't know that that was a revert - I saw the uncited number in the box, which was at odds with the RS-cited number in the text, and simply conformed the two .. I had never noticed if the cited number every appeared in the infobox. If it had, my error, and apologies. But I noticed a new paragraph I added and cats I added were deleted, and was surprised that they would be considered reverts, as they were simply additions that had not to my knowledge ever existed in the article. 184.153.21.19 (talk) 09:29, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
- With regards to racist, again, that does not fit the narrow definition of vandalism -- it is discouraged to use the word racist or other contentious words, see MOS:RACIST but that does not necessarily preclude them from being used if the description is accurate, especially when used widely by reliable sources. The simple title of the article makes it a prime candidate for the word racist to be used, "A pogrom is a violent riot incited with the aim of massacring or expelling an ethnic or religious group" -- that is a racist act, which "is discrimination and prejudice against people based on their race or ethnicity". Now the individuals involved may or may not have actually been racists themselves, and that may or may not have motivated their actions. I don't know. But it is not vandalism to make that assertion in this article. Conversely, to just grab some person's profile on Wikipedia (say a politician or celebrity) that you don't personally like and label them a racist without any evidence or source, that would be what is obvious vandalism and qualify for removal.
- I understand that you thought it was vandalism, but what you are engaging in is clearly NOT vandalism -- "Even if misguided, willfully against consensus, or disruptive, any good faith effort to improve the encyclopedia is not vandalism. For example, edit warring over how exactly to present encyclopedic content is not vandalism." WP:VANDAL TiggerJay (talk) 09:48, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
- Apologies for my lack of clarity. He had the Wikipedia article asserting that the living people who were the victims - not the attackers - were racist rioters. Without any ref. Whatsoever. It is vandalism to call the victims racist rioters. Without any RS ref whatsoever. And have Wikipedia make that assertion - as he has the article saying it in Wikipedia's voice. There is zero appropriate here .. I think you've misunderstood who he was having WP assert were racist rioters. Just look at this edit, both in the infobox and the lede. --184.153.21.19 (talk) 09:56, 8 November 2024 (UTC)

- So Israeli football hooligans tearing down Palestinian flags and chanting “there are no schools in Gaza because there are no children left" not racist?

- TommyMoazm, as also documented on your page, you are also on notice for edit warring. While it is clear you are on opposite sides of this issue, even if your arguments were valid, that does not permit you to carry out an edit war on the article place. Instead take it to the article talk page to hash it out there before making any further edits. TiggerJay (talk) 09:07, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
