  Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Christian nationalism, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. ButlerBlog (talk) 02:05, 4 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

@MagyarNavy1918 - thank you for your effort on the Right-wing populism page - I've added two templates to help you get the hang of editing by noting when to add sources to support text that is written in an encyclopedic tone. Superb Owl (talk) 21:42, 6 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Excellent work

edit

Hello. Excellent job on writing a section on Israeli conservatism.

Since it's such a comprehensive presentation of the topic, I suggest that you incorporate it into a new article called Conservatism in Israel, with distinct headings, which could then be expanded additionally, either by yourself or others. There are many other nations that already have an article for their variant of conservatism, and Israel deserves one as well, given that conservatism is now the dominant ideology of the nation and that their brand of conservatism is unique.

Meanwhile, the current presentation in the main article on conservatism could be summarized more concisely, so that it focuses only on the most essential aspects of the topic and gives as succinct an introduction as possible. The current length of nine paragraphs is quite extensive, and it could be shortened to at least seven. My suggestion is that the paragraphs about Neturei Karta and United Arab List be excluded due to their peripheral place outside of mainstream conservatism, although these sections should definitely be included in a larger article on Conservatism in Israel.

My IP Address is Blocked

edit

To whom it may concern, my IP address has been blocked for editing on Wikipedia. I think this might be because of one of two possible reasons, possibly both. 1) When I initially began editing on Wikipedia, I did so anonymously and often without citing arguments properly. This was definitely a problem with my earlier editing style. However, since then, I have created an account and have learned to properly cite edits and claims made in articles. Secondly, I think there MAY (emphasis on the MAY) be political motivations behind the blocking of my IP address. For one thing, I mostly edited articles that were related to the Israel-Palestine conflict, mostly relating to different political parties and ideologies in the conflict. I tried to remain neutral and by this point I was very clearly citing sources. However, considering how contentious this topic is, I do think its possible that I was banned because of my political neutrality in these issues.

For these reasons, I would like to make an appeal for my IP address to be unblocked.

It would be unlikely that your IP would be blocked merely for not citing - unless you were edit warring over the uncited additions. The other item is a possibility, depending on what the editing you were doing actually was, since that topic is one that has additional rules. However, those current rules preclude edits by an IP, so it wouldn't be that exact article that would have triggered anything.
I wouldn't ask for your IP, and presuming you don't want to out yourself publicly, you shouldn't post it here in any responses. What you should start with is to log out and see if the user page for your IP address has any notices - specifically warning/block messages - and if so, deal with those directly (either start at the Teahouse if you can, or contact an admin directly for help). IP blocks are not generally indefinite, so if there is something noted on the IP user page it should indicate when a block would expire. ButlerBlog (talk) 23:18, 28 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thanks! As a new-ish user of Wikipedia, this is actually really helpful info. MagyarNavy1918 (talk) 02:43, 29 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
Is this IP still blocked? If so, when does the block expire?--Bbb23 (talk) 15:14, 20 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
It doesn't seem to be blocked anymore. MagyarNavy1918 (talk) 15:15, 20 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
