== Copying within Misplaced Pages requires attribution ==

] Thank you for ] to Misplaced Pages. It appears that you copied or moved text from ] into ]. While you are welcome to re-use Misplaced Pages's content, here or elsewhere, ] does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s).

It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{tl|copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also.

Category:Beer in Palestine

Hello, Iskandar 323,

If you believe a category should have a different name, propose a category rename at WP:CFD. Do not empty a category "out of process" and create a new category. This loses all of the page history of the original category. I have undone your emptying of category Category:Beer in the State of Palestine. Please do not do this again. Make a proposal at CFD. If you make use of Twinkle, this process is very straight-forward but you'll need to include a reason for the change of name. If you have questions, please bring them to the Teahouse. Thank you. Liz 01:13, 30 August 2021 (UTC)

@Liz Ok, noted - I wasn't exactly sure what the process was! -- Iskandar 323 (talk) 05:59, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
@Liz Hi - I couldn't find the option for CFD on Twinkle - is it definitely still there for you? Perhaps I am restricted from that function, but I had to propose the category rename manually — Iskandar 323 (talk) 06:20, 30 August 2021 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for September 2

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Birzeit Brewery, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page IPA. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 05:57, 2 September 2021 (UTC)

Alert

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 the Arab–Israeli conflict. 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 Misplaced Pages's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

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.

Thanks

I'd just like to thank you for drawing Dalia Fadila to my attention. Goodness, how something like that escaped me is beyond me (well, not really. I find out every day a dozen things I should have known and yet . . ) Consider the stub a personal thank you note. Cheers Nishidani (talk) 15:15, 3 September 2021 (UTC)

That's very kind, but I'm a little lost how I might have helped you with that - except perhaps by drawing you to review the page references in a new light... Iskandar 323 (talk) 16:13, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
Well, when there are revert wars, I tend to ignore checking each edit to the page and do something else, until a modicum of good sense begins to return. Perhaps someone else added it but certainly, when I saw you had reorganized it and cut down the bloat, I noticed the article on her for the first time and assumed you had added it. No matter, thanks.Nishidani (talk) 16:47, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
I figured as much. Btw, is the Misplaced Pages community dying off a bit? It seems like a lot of WikiProjects have gone decidedly inactive. Iskandar 323 (talk) 12:46, 5 September 2021 (UTC)
Perhaps. My generation's dying off, and some forecasts say the world is too. The only philosophical principle I embrace is, interimism: the bustling praxis of 'qui et nunc in the meantime', and resisting getting pissed off into silence in our mean times, until nature of course sees to it in duke course.

Manscaped moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Manscaped, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Misplaced Pages). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Misplaced Pages's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. TheBirdsShedTears (talk) 11:06, 7 September 2021 (UTC)

Bit odd. Six mainstream sources should satisfy notability, esp. for something just off the ground. I.e. also

@Nishidani A lot of the Misplaced Pages administrators seem to really hate any new articles on companies, possibly due to the constraints on their time in terms of reviewing new content, but the way it works out is that, in defiance of Misplaced Pages's good faith principles, some seem to prefer to discount content out of hand and make generic comments rather than give it a thorough read.

September 2021

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Couscous. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. M.Bitton (talk) 12:00, 8 September 2021 (UTC)

@M.Bitton Come on, it's you who are engaged in an edit war. You're not engaging with what I am saying, and you are making assertions that are not supported either by a clear rationale or sources. Moghrabieh and maftoul have always been a part of the main body of this article, and it is you who is trying to discard them into the similar foods section without adequate discussion. Should you be engaging in an edit war even if you believe you are right? Even if you have seniority on Misplaced Pages, you are not entitled to simply forcibly push you opinions when it comes to editing and subject matter, where every editors opinion should be considered equally valid. I do not see you actively working towards consensus, or even good sourcing. Iskandar 323 (talk) 12:11, 8 September 2021 (UTC)

Sea Shepherd

Hi Iskander323, you really need ti check your references, you have linked a whole pile of articles to sea shepard- In word usage as on some islands (Isles of Scilly, Hebrides) a sea shepherd is a person who keeps sheep on one or more of the grassy uninhabited outlying islands, and once a year visits those islands in a boat to take away the year's breeding increase. lol Ilenart626 (talk) 14:06, 13 September 2021 (UTC)

Broken 1RR

You broke 1RR , Please remove your last edit additions. Thank you --Shrike (talk) 05:26, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

@Shrike Except I didn't revert more than once in 24 hours, and, even if I had, 1RR is a guideline, not a rule. But in fact, before your message, I made an edit where I specifically refrained from reverting and instead added a modified consensus version of the previous content, while noting that I was doing so in the interest of avoiding edit warring. Please do not mis-categorise or misrepresent people's good faith edits. Iskandar323 (talk) 06:05, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
Ok we will check if admins will agree with you. Shrike (talk) 06:48, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
I'm not sure if you adhere to the "Assume Good Faith" principle of Misplaced Pages. You seem belligerent. Iskandar323 (talk) 07:21, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
--Shrike (talk) 07:25, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
You seem to be rather confirming the observation that AGF doesn't really hold much meaning to you. I am having a perfectly civil dialogue on the page in question that you were never involved with. You just joined for drive-by disruption. Iskandar323 (talk) 07:38, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

Al Asqa Brigade.

So there seems to be an edit war ongoing regarding the Al Asqa terrorist designation. The recommendations per WP:value laden terms were for an in line citation if there was widely accepted consensus about a group, which I did and you reverted. Other editors have reverted for other reasons despite being provided with multiple examples of similar Misplaced Pages articles about living persons including the designation. One editor commented that “Palestinians wouldn’t agree” with the terrorist designation.

What exactly is going on here? You mentioned you didn’t think I was “going about it by the right way,” but failed to provide a consensus edit. Concerned there is some bias at hand here. If you think I’m not going about it in the right way, what is your recommended “right way.” ?I will be reverting to your original edit (again) which was relieved by another editor. AVR2012 (talk) 12:28, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

I only meant you were "going about it by the right way" with respect to the sourcing. Generic documents about Al-Aqsa don't really have a place on an individual member's article. My point was that you don't need to add three non-specific sources when you already have a good, specific source that does the same job. However, I am personally a bit lost with regards the wider edit war that now appears to be underway over the broader validity of the terminology, and I have recused myself from editing the substance of this piece. My last few edits (as you may have noted) have only been with regards to the sources and linking, not the content. I obviously have no problem with the final content edit I made, and which you keep reverting to, since I thought that edit, at the time, was a fairly neutral compromise. But I can't speak to the perspectives of the other editors that are getting involved. Iskandar323 (talk) 12:39, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
AVR2012 has no business editing any I/P articles, since though registered 9 years ago, they have only racked up 223 edits. Therefore all their additions can be reverted at sight.Nishidani (talk) 17:01, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

Agree Iksander. Similarly puzzled by the edit war over the terminology. The subject was a “hero” to certain people so perhaps the terrorist designation, while factually accurate, is a bridge to far for them. Which is a NPOV violation. Recent edits changed “civilians” to “targets” (a dehumanization) so this will likely end up being escalated.

Nishidani - WP:CIVIL AVR2012 (talk) 00:39, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

It is a civic duty to remind editors who ignore or abuse a rule to draw their attention to their breach of regulations. You have a dead account suddenly activated after 9 years and suddenly jump into a contested page to throw your weight in for one side. The rest is obvious.Nishidani (talk) 07:33, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

Hi

As a looong-time editor in the IP area; a couple of observations: Yes, of course we should AGF (-and everybody claims they do!); but realize that the smallest infraction will get you reported, to AN, AN/I or AE. (I was just reported for reverting twice; 23 hours and 59 minutes apart (link). So yeah; in the IP area, the 1RR is pretty much "written in stone".

Another thing: the area is rife with WP:SOCKs, and also very active recruiting by pro-Israeli organisations (including the Yesha Council). Some of the "newbies" you encounter in the IP area have more edits than me... Also; look at their 500 first edits; if they are more or less automatic; then suddenly after 500 edits they plunge into controversial IP articles, well, draw your own conclusion. (We can of of course never, ever accuse anyone of being a sock, except on the WP:CHK page. The most we can do (outside CHK) is to ask them if they ever had a prior accounts.) (For WP:MEAT; there is even less help), So: please be careful! cheers, Huldra (talk) 21:34, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

@Huldra: Yes, I saw your little 23 hours and 59 minutes incident when perusing the activities of my antagonist. I'm a little surprised that there are not better checks and balances in place to prevent editors abusively and trivially resorting to arbitration measures, or other behaviours that smack of intentionally gaming the system. On your other note, I find it very interesting how one other editor in particular also took such a deep interest in your activities in that AE (and in mine), speaking with the air of experience and referred to other users as newbies despite having a low edit count themselves. Iskandar323 (talk) 05:00, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
Re AE, contrition and move on, just a suggestion. No reply required:)Selfstudier (talk) 10:58, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
@Selfstudier: Believe me I'm trying. The actual article itself had even moved on before the AE even began! Totally pointless. Iskandar323 (talk) 11:04, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
There's no argument there worth trying to win, dragging things out serves no-one's interest.Selfstudier (talk) 11:09, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
At AE, they can, and frequently do, look at all sorts of things besides the initial complaint, including the behavior of those doing the complaining. I'm not suggesting you just roll over and surrender but it's better not to adopt a too bureaucratic approach to this.Selfstudier (talk) 18:11, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
@Selfstudier What I'm really confused by is why, if an AE calling discretionary sanctions is only supposed to be raised when the rules are broken on a page with an edit notice, that is not more of a problem. It seems to be a procedure without much procedure. It is also disappointing that the administrators don't seem to take the atmosphere of vindictiveness into account a bit more. Iskandar323 (talk) 18:37, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
The admins have seen all this before, its the usual thing in the IP area and I daresay quite a few of them are well tired of it. The last thing anyone wants is to get drawn into some long winded set of allegations and counter allegations as quite often happens in the "other" place. AE is thankfully short and sweet, usually. Technicalities are all very well but its a double edged sword and I would try to avoid playing that card myself.Selfstudier (talk) 18:47, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
@Selfstudier How does it actually end or reach a conclusion? I don't get the process. Iskandar323 (talk) 18:55, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
The admins will start a convo mainly among themselves (they may still make further inquiry) with a view to achieving a consensus on any remedy. It will be obvious when they reach that point.Selfstudier (talk) 19:00, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

I think you got some good advice, above - contrition and move on. Comments like the one you just made on the talk page of the article, describing the request for enforcement against you as a "technicality", and insisting the the criticism is due after explicitly being told by Johnuniq that it is undue, do not inspire confidence that you actually understand what the request was about, or that you will change your behavior. Inf-in MD (talk) 14:08, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

@Inf-in MD: I was just providing the context for those comments precisely because you were twisting the words. The enforcement action against me is over the 1RR, not explicitly over the content, which @Nishidani: is still perfectly entitled to their own opinion about. Johnuniq was talking in part about criticism sections on pages in general, and in part about whether mentioning a company being placed on a list is placing undue weight on it. He didn't lay down some sort of absolute ruling for that particular article and content. I am not interested in inspiring confidence, only in being accurate and following the guidelines. Iskandar323 (talk) 15:25, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

Violating the 1RR restriction is not a "technicality". The discussion in that enforcement request raised several other issues, beyond the 1RR violation that was the proximate cause, and in the course of that discussion, another administrator raised your adding of multiple criticism sections as a possible WP:RGW issue. Johnuniq explicitly told you, with regard to the Tefahoyt article, that that section is undue. You now seem intent on re-adding that section, so perhaps more than a logged warning is required. Inf-in MD (talk)

@Inf-in MD: Well thank you for the advice that I'm sure you're giving me from the bottom of your heart, and not at all because you're intent on copying in Johnuniq because you think you're catching me out. Don't insult the intelligence of the admins with these playground antics. If you have a statement to make in the AE, make it there. Don't spam my talk page. The main reason for the enforcement action IS the 1RR, a technical matter, and not the content, which was a side topic. I just said that Nishidani is entitled to their own opinion. Commenting in a talk discussion is not me doing anything except commenting in a talk discussion. Iskandar323 (talk) 16:04, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

I'm not sure why I was received a notification with the above comment. Maybe the circuits are mixed up for me and @Nishidani:, notifying them in case. Cheers. starship.paint (exalt) 09:23, 17 September 2021 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for September 16

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Zakaria Zubeidi, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Israeli. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 05:59, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

A note

I know you asked me to stay off this page, but I wanted to extend an olive branch one more time - feel free to ignore this or remove my comment if you want, and I won't post here again. You and I obviously don't share the same POV on the Israeli-Arab conflict, but you seemed to me a reasonable editor, open to collaborative editing (which is something I can't say about most of the others who share your POV and edit in this area.) - so shall we give it another go? I saw you had added a number of notable divestments that Kommunal Landspensjonskasse made around the world. I think a short sentence or two about them divesting from the 16 entities named in the UN report for working in the West Bank settlements could go there, and be relevant and WP:DUE. Inf-in MD (talk) 18:01, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

I am a reasonable editor and more than open to collaborative editing, as I thought you were too. I'm sure you saw my public thanks on a number of edits. At the same time, you are extending an olive branch AFTER weighing in against me in the rather heavy-handed AE referral. I appreciate your sentiment, but you might have mentioned some of this in your AE statement instead of here. Lord knows, enough are ganging up. Iskandar323 (talk) 18:25, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
I commented there only after coming here first and suggesting you take Selfstudier's advice and move on, and having that suggestion rebuffed with some snarky comments. But let me try to rectify it by adding a comment on the AE, ok? Inf-in MD (talk) 18:29, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
For right or wrong, I was also under the impression that you were internationally misconstruing what I was saying. Your slightly snarky statement that I was not inspiring confidence may also have coaxed out my snark, but I am happy to be less snarky. Iskandar323 (talk) 18:46, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
Regardless of whether it affects the outcome, I appreciate the sincerity of your follow-up comment. Iskandar323 (talk) 18:58, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

Reverting good faith edits with twinkle

Please refrain from doing so like you did here . You should read WP:TWINKLEABUSE --Shrike (talk) 18:15, 18 September 2021 (UTC)

Poland is in Central Europe, reverting an obviously wrong edit (can't be good faith because second time after having it explained the first time, region = "Region or state the dish was developed.") seems fine to me.Selfstudier (talk) 18:26, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
That was my thinking. I reverted to the correct region, while simultaneously retaining the incorrectly placed country under national cuisine. I actually removed nothing, except "Jewish diaspora", which is definitely not a region. Iskandar323 (talk) 18:31, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
It doesn't matter if you revert is ok or not you shouldn't use twinkle for edits that not vandalism. Shrike (talk) 18:36, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
Isn't the placement of information in the incorrect slot in an infobox a form of vandalism? Iskandar323 (talk) 18:37, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
I suggest that you read WP:VANDNOT and WP:AGF Shrike (talk) 18:42, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
Unless someone was simply not reading my edit notes, it's hard to understand how they could "accidentally" keep adding a country in the region line of an infobox - I explained the region principle THREE TIMES in the edit notes, so how can reverting to a nonsensical version be either good faith or accidental? Iskandar323 (talk) 18:46, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
I don't want to argue with you. If you think I am wrong and edits are really vandalism you welcome to report the user to WP:ANI but I suggest to read WP:BOOMERANG first also if you continue to do treat WP:AGF edits as vandalism you might be reported yourself. You may also ask any random admin or at WP:TEAHOUSE if you still think I am wrong Shrike (talk) 18:55, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
I'm not that interested in reporting anybody, Shrike. I'm afraid it just doesn't get me going like it does some people. Iskandar323 (talk) 19:40, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
Iskandar, don't edit war even if someone else does, just point it up on the talk page and let someone else fix it. Which they would have done because it was obviously wrong.Selfstudier (talk) 18:29, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
Ok, I was just reluctant to leave the completely inappropriate information up, because you never know how long it might stay up, but noted. Iskandar323 (talk) 18:35, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
You can always come back to it later and see what happened, in the meantime don't let yourself be baited.Selfstudier (talk) 18:59, 18 September 2021 (UTC)

This last edit - is your 4th revert. You should undo it, as it violates the 3 revert rule. If someone reported you for edit warring over this, it would not look good on the heels of the recent 1RR violation reported at AE. Inf-in MD (talk) 20:07, 18 September 2021 (UTC)

@Inf-in MD: If you say so. Done. I counted three, but I guess I split the second across two edits, and you almost certainly know the rules better than I do. Feel free to go in and fix the screw up with the region in the infobox. Iskandar323 (talk) 20:31, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
This is getting rather disgraceful: DONTBITETHENEWBIE? No. A shark pack provocation rather. Both Shrike and Inf-in MD should have reverted 11Fox11's nonsense. Iskander was directly provoked by reverts that inserted false information which begged any sensible person watching the page to restore Central Europe for the absurd 'Jewish and Israeli diaspora'. There is no such thing as a 'region' by that name. All we have is evidence of a fishing expedition followed up by further aggravation. Yes, Iskander fell for it. But it is still egregiously abusive of commonsense and wiki protocols. He's being singled out. So this mobbing must stop immediately. Iskander, as Self tells you: don't fall for it. If you see that game being played, take a breath and wait for someone else to fix it. If no on e else is on the page, and the provocative nonsense being posted sticks, drop a note on the talk page, make a sum mary request foir third party advice on some board, etc.Nishidani (talk) 08:47, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
What's the practical difference between undoing one edit, restoring an article version one edit prior or using rollback or rollback AGF to revert one edit at a time? Doesn't it all amount to basically the same functional output when one edit is concerned? Iskandar323 (talk) 10:14, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
Because theoretically any edit might be considered as a revert, it might be better to think of a revert as an action that undoes the action of another editor, less likely to get into trouble that way.Selfstudier (talk) 10:30, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
I guess the question I meant to ask is why is using Twinkle to undo a single edit any more meaningful than using any other method or means to achieve the same effect, such that "reverting an edit with Twinkle" is an additional crime? Iskandar323 (talk) 10:49, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
I don't think it is any more meaningful, it is just that with any kind of automation, it is easier to go wrong. If you are going to revert something in the IP area, just be careful. I would go further, try not to revert at all (apart from things like non ecp edits, obvious vandalism and so on); if you can find another way of dealing with it, it will likely be better in the long run.Selfstudier (talk) 10:59, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
Final question on Misplaced Pages technicalities: when is canvassing canvassing, and when can you legitimately ask another editor you know is familiar with a certain subject matter and of sound reasons to look at something? Iskandar323 (talk) 12:14, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
There is no simple answer but if the intent is to sway a discussion in favor of your own position, that's a no-no. It's usually obvious. Pinging people who have been involved in a discussion is OK, I think. Better is just to post to the boards (IP collab, etc) and avoid the accusation altogether.Selfstudier (talk) 12:47, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
Thanks for the advice. Ever helpful, Selfstudier! Iskandar323 (talk) 12:51, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

Edit warring reminder

Hello. I noticed you reverted a revert of your addition on Whaling in the Faroe Islands. By now, you're probably aware of the bold, discuss, revert cycle and the policy on edit warring, but it seems that it is necessary to remind you that edit warring is considered disruptive. Another reversion might be considered a violation of the three-revert rule. Please remember to discuss the addition on the talk page instead of reverting edits. Thank you. — LauritzT (talk) 13:05, 20 September 2021 (UTC)

Copying within Misplaced Pages requires attribution

Information icon Thank you for your contributions to Misplaced Pages. It appears that you copied or moved text from Brik into Börek. While you are welcome to re-use Misplaced Pages's content, here or elsewhere, Misplaced Pages's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Misplaced Pages, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from ]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also.
