  Hello, I'm Ibadibam. Your recent edit to the page Bucatini appears to have added incorrect information, so I have removed it for now. If you believe the information was correct, please cite a reliable source or discuss your change on the article's talk page. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Ibadibam (talk) 19:07, 18 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

It seems to me that the edits you made to Swensons were not with the intention of improving encyclopedic coverage of the topic. I have removed the sentence and accompanying link that is apparently a picture of you, your friend, or someone you're trying to embarrass. Everything else I have tagged for further scrutiny. Please share your rationale for these edits at Talk:Swensons#BBYO. Ibadibam (talk) 19:13, 19 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Swensons, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. Ibadibam (talk) 01:07, 20 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

Please stop edit-warring over the article. Start a discussion on the article's talk page instead, and build consensus for the inclusion of the material you wish to add.

You might want to read WP:Verifiability and WP:Identifying reliable sources. If, after reading them, you still believe the section of puffery you're fighting to add to the article is adequately sourced, please start a discussion at WP:RS/N and see what the editors there think. Thank you. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 01:47, 13 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

Please stop and use the article's talk page to discuss your proposed changes. Otherwise, I will report you for edit-warring and you may be blocked from editing. — MShabazz Talk/Stalk 17:38, 14 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

Managing a conflict of interest

edit

  Hello, Mark612. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

  • avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
  • instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
  • when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
  • avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
  • exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. NeilN talk to me 17:46, 14 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

Beachwood

edit

Look, I understand what it is you want to say and are trying to add, but encyclopedic articles don't include speculative research about a neighborhood and why it is the way it is today. Sufficeth to say, Beachwood grew as Jews from the older neighborhoods in the city (e.g. around South Taylor, Shaker, South Euclid, and Glenville) moved up the economic ladder and bought bigger houses in a greener part of Greater Cleveland. But I can't make a case for that because first off, the study I can cite doesn't exist; it's not as though there's a massive case study done on Cleveland's Jewish community. Now, I know why Beachwood is teh way it is from having grown up around there. But regardless of who writes it, it doesn't belong in the article. Forgetting for a second that the article is about Beachwood and sticking to the basic facts (as encyclopedias are supposed to do), and even if its economic micro-demographic and the subsequent migrating eastward, could be substantiated, it still wouldn't belong in the article. This isn't an economics based article. Even bigger cities have more detailed sub-articles detailing subsections on separate pages. And what's more, while Beachwood is a substantial Jewish community in the Cleveland area, it's still relativley small compared to Jewish communities in NYC, LA or even Chicago (where it's more concentrated in the northern suburbs). Case in point: There are more Jews in Borough Park, Brooklyn than there are people living in CH, Beachwood, South Euclid, University Heights and Shaker Heights combined... and Borough Park is half the size of Beachwood in area. And that's one neighborhood in one borough of NYC. Furthermore, while the religion and culture are important, they are mentioned already in brief. Meanwhile, the majority of what makes Beachwood attractive to anyone not buying a house there is the mall, La Place and Legacy Village and the hotels adjacent 271... and you'll notice that's not even mentioned in the article. What I'm saying is, I get ya, but please bear in mind that this isn't a research paper on Beachwood and Original Research is a no-no on Wikipedia. Cheers.

Your recent editing history at Beachwood, Ohio shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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. See BRD for 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 your 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 don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 13:49, 17 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

Changes to David Berger AZA

edit

You may want to change the name of the David Berger AZA page to David Berger AZA #1823. As you probably know, there is another chapter called David Berger AZA in Dallas. Please add a better citation to the part where it says Berger has over 90 members because the link does not mention that. Also, maybe the page should be merged with Ohio Northern Region page with maybe a paragraph about each of ONR's chapters

Proposed deletion of David Berger AZA

edit
 

The article David Berger AZA has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable local chapter of an organization. No references prove notability.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.

I'm going to add a personal note here in addition to the templated message above. If any of your edits are reverted it is essential that you do not edit war back. If it is important to you, then start a discussion and get a consensus for the change. If you persist in this kind of editing when your block expires, you will probably be getting a much longer block next time. I hope you can bring your editing in line with our expectations.

Can you provide even one policy based reason for your removal of the above? Have you ever read the notability guidelines for organizations? Looking at your talk page, it certainly appears you are here for reasons other than to improve the encyclopedia. Your edit summary left when you removed the PROD indicates clearly that you think the things you contribute here remain under your control. They don't. See OWN. It's not a far fetched prediction that your editing privileges may be revoked for continuing on the path you are on. Please take some time to learn what Wikipedia is (and isn't).

On pages with related content, or on primary articles where ECP is not feasible, the 500/30 Rule may be enforced by other methods, including page protection, reverts, blocks, the use of pending changes, and appropriate edit filters. Reverts made solely to enforce the 500/30 Rule are not considered edit warring.

The sole exceptions to this prohibition are:

1. Editors who are not eligible to be extended-confirmed may use the Talk: namespace to post constructive comments and make edit requests related to articles within the topic area, provided they are not disruptive. Talk pages where disruption occurs may be managed by any of the methods noted in paragraph b). This exception does not apply to other internal project discussions such as AfDs, WikiProjects, RfCs, noticeboard discussions, etc.

2. Editors who are not eligible to be extended-confirmed may not create new articles, but administrators may exercise discretion when deciding how to enforce this remedy on article creations. Deletion of new articles created by editors who do not meet the criteria is permitted but not required.

3. One Revert Restriction (1RR): Each editor is limited to one revert per page per 24 hours on any edits made to content within the area of conflict. Reverts made to enforce the 500/30 Rule are exempt from the provisions of this motion. Also, the normal exemptions apply. Editors who violate this restriction may be blocked by any uninvolved administrator.

Note that this means your edits on such pages (which you aren't yet eligible to make) may be reverted by anyone at any time. These restrictions are stricter than those in most other areas because of the problems that we've had in this area. Your last few edits were reverted, not by me, and you should not have made them.

This is still true, and you still may not edit material related to the Arab-Israeli conflict topic. nableezy - 22:39, 13 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
If you continue to edit these topics I will be asking the restriction be enforced with a block. nableezy - 22:49, 13 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

Important Notice

edit

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 post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people. 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.

To opt out of receiving messages like this one, place {{Ds/aware}} on your user talk page and specify in the template the topic areas that you would like to opt out of alerts about. 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.

  This is your only warning; if you remove or blank page contents or templates from Wikipedia again, as you did at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Sideswipe9th (talk) 23:18, 13 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

It’s interesting how when anti Israel activists decide to add irrelevant information for sake of trying to instill their pro-Palestine opinions on any page related to Israel, admins seem to not have a problem with it until someone corrects the issue. Virtual jihad if you will. Mark612 (talk) 23:22, 13 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

Youre free to make that argument at WP:AE#Mark612. nableezy - 23:28, 13 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
 
You have been blocked indefinitely from editing because it appears that you are not here to build an encyclopedia.
If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Doug Weller talk 10:02, 14 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
