October 2010 edit

  Please stop adding unreferenced controversial biographical content to articles or any other Wikipedia page, as you did at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Occupied Palestine and Syrian Golan Heights Advocacy Initiative. Content of this nature could be regarded as defamatory and is in violation of Wikipedia policy. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Specifically, you cannot call a living person a "Nazi propagandist" without reliable sources doing so anywhere on this site. nableezy - 23:01, 17 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

As you have reinserted the disparaging remarks, I have asked administrators to look at your actions. You can see this here. nableezy - 02:02, 18 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

Please don't add your personal opinions of the sources into the discussion, especially if they are disparaging to living people - these kind of ad hominem attacks are not convincing, and will likely get you blocked. Instead, if you feel these sources are not reliable (and I agree with you on that), you will be much more effective by simply arguing to delete the article in question- just follow the format of the people who commented on the discussion before you. This is called 'not voting" (often abbreviated !vote), because eventually, an administrator will decide if to delete the article or keep it based on the strengths of the arguments not the number of "votes".

Israel-Palestine sanctions warning edit

As a result of an arbitration case, the Arbitration Committee has acknowledged long-term and persistent problems in the editing of articles related to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, broadly understood. As a result, the Committee has enacted broad editing restrictions, described here and below.

  • Any uninvolved administrator may, on his or her own discretion, impose sanctions on any editor working in the area of conflict if, despite being warned, that editor repeatedly or seriously fails to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behavior, or any normal editorial process.
  • The sanctions imposed may include blocks of up to one year in length; bans from editing any page or set of pages within the area of conflict; bans on any editing related to the topic or its closely related topics; restrictions on reverts or other specified behaviors; or any other measures which the imposing administrator believes are reasonably necessary to ensure the smooth functioning of the project.
  • Prior to any sanctions being imposed, the editor in question shall be given a warning with a link to this decision; and, where appropriate, should be counseled on specific steps that he or she can take to improve his or her editing in accordance with relevant policies and guidelines.
  • Discretionary sanctions imposed under the provisions of this decision may be appealed to the imposing administrator, the appropriate administrators' noticeboard (currently WP:AE), or the Committee.

These editing restrictions may be applied to any editor for cause, provided the editor has been previously informed of the case. This message is to so inform you. This message does not necessarily mean that your current editing has been deemed a problem; this is a template message crafted to make it easier to notify any user who has edited the topic of the existence of these sanctions.

Generally, the next step, if an administrator feels your conduct on pages in this topic area is disruptive, would be a warning, to be followed by the imposition of sanctions (although in cases of serious disruption, the warning may be omitted). Hopefully no such action will be necessary.

This notice is only effective if given by an uninvolved administrator and logged here.

This is an official warning. Your behavior has already been so egregious that had you previously been informed of this policy, your account would be blocked now. Any repetition of this tendentious behavior will lead immediately to a block, in particular, any calling of persons Nazis who are not actually Nazis.

Interesting essay edit

There's a new essay that could be of interest. PhilKnight (talk) 18:05, 18 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

 
You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for abuse of editing privileges. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|Your reason here}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

You have been blocked specifically for this edit, which violates the warning you were given two days ago. Looie496 (talk) 16:43, 20 October 2010 (UTC)Reply
