More violations
This is called WP:CANVASSing and is another way to get blocked. Zero 01:30, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
- Thank you. I did not know. KamelTebaast 01:46, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
- I just read about WP:CANVASS. As I understand, if I invite editors with different views, it is not canvassing. I'd invite others now, however, the Speedy (for now) has been removed. KamelTebaast 02:10, 26 July 2016 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for July 26
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Mahdi Satri, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Gaza (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

You got me, I am a Palestinian hacker based in the Gaza Strip.
You are very very close from me setting your block as my life goal. Saying I am lying about my identity is more than a personal attack.--Bolter21 (talk to me) 18:18, 27 July 2016 (UTC)
- If you re-read what I wrote, I made no statements about you, I simply asked Nishidani questions. I asked an editor who is all about verifiable sources, where his sources were regarding some of his statements. Unless you and Nishidani have forgotten, we are anonymous editors.

"sham" (unless you meant garlic) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Omysfysfybmm (talk • contribs) 12:26, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

- Omysfysfybmm, "there"
- "Shom" is the Ashkenazi pronunciation of sham. You can ask Dovid (David) about it. At first I was a little surprised Bolter, as an Israeli, wouldn't immediately recognize it, but I guess the younger generations have little to no exposure to people who grew up speaking Yiddish.

Misplaced Pages and copyright
Hello Kamel Tebaast, and welcome to Misplaced Pages. All or some of your addition(s) to Fabian Núñez has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Misplaced Pages, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.
- You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Misplaced Pages:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
- Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Misplaced Pages:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
- Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Misplaced Pages:Copyrights. You may also want to review Misplaced Pages:Copy-paste.
- If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Misplaced Pages:Donating copyrighted materials.
- In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Misplaced Pages:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
- Also note that Misplaced Pages articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Misplaced Pages project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Misplaced Pages:Copying within Misplaced Pages.
It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 20:17, 27 July 2016 (UTC)
- DiannaaYou actually deleted the entire edit from the complete history so that it can't even be viewed by anyone? Why not just state a problem and allow it to be fixed? This can't even be properly discussed now, because I can't see what I edited. Is there a mechanism to challenge your complete deletion? Thank you. KamelTebaast 20:32, 27 July 2016 (UTC)
- Further, as part of your deletion, you wrote that "...this content is about the son, not the subject of this article." The subject of the article was the Speaker of the California assembly and he used his relationship with the governor to get a reduction in his son's sentence. This was international news. That does not justify being in a Misplaced Pages article? KamelTebaast 20:43, 27 July 2016 (UTC)
- The content is viewable at the source web page, http://tia.redlandsteaparty.net/an/tag/fabian-nunez/. It was the paragraph that starts "Núñez’s son, Esteban was convicted...", along with part of the following paragraph. Normally we don't include material about people's relatives in their articles. The content is only peripherally about the subject of the article. But my primary reason for removing it was the copyright violation. I can send you a copy of the removed material via email if you like. — Diannaa (talk) 14:12, 28 July 2016 (UTC)
- Diannaa Yes, please send me the deleted material. I realized my first mistake was that I inserted work that was written by a prior editor. That won't happen again. However, to the merits of not generally including a relative, this story is what Fabian Núñez is most known for, as reported for years internationally, including recently. Thank you. KamelTebaast 16:14, 28 July 2016 (UTC)
- Email sent. Let me know if it doesn't get through. — Diannaa (talk) 20:19, 28 July 2016 (UTC)

I have no idea how his life has gone since, I hope well, but please do not write things like "after he is dead" as you did at AFD. I hope he lives a long, productive, peaceful life.E.M.Gregory (talk) 21:26, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

Notice that you are now subject to an arbitration enforcement sanction
The following sanction now applies to you:
You are topic banned from the topic of the Arab-Israeli conflict, broadly construed, for one month.
You have been sanctioned for the reasons provided in response to this arbitration enforcement request.
This sanction is imposed in my capacity as an uninvolved administrator under the authority of the Arbitration Committee's decision at Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/Palestine-Israel articles#Final decision and, if applicable, the procedure described at Misplaced Pages:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions. This sanction has been recorded in the log of sanctions. If the sanction includes a ban, please read the banning policy to ensure you understand what this means. If you do not comply with this sanction, you may be blocked for an extended period, by way of enforcement of this sanction—and you may also be made subject to further sanctions.
You may appeal this sanction using the process described here. I recommend that you use the arbitration enforcement appeals template if you wish to submit an appeal to the arbitration enforcement noticeboard. You may also appeal directly to me (on my talk page), before or instead of appealing to the noticeboard. Even if you appeal this sanction, you remain bound by it until you are notified by an uninvolved administrator that the appeal has been successful. You are also free to contact me on my talk page if anything of the above is unclear to you. Lord Roem ~ (talk) 20:49, 13 August 2016 (UTC)
3RR violation at Movement for Black Lives
Your recent editing history at Movement for Black Lives 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 article's 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.
You have now made four reverts. Please self-revert your last edit or I will report you and you may be blocked from editing. — MShabazz /Stalk 19:14, 19 August 2016 (UTC)
- MShabazz, I appreciate you giving me the warning before going to Wikicourt over the 3RR. I actually thought it only related to protected pages, but I understand now it is all of Misplaced Pages. Because I reverted you four times, I'll give you an extra day before I revert you again, but hopefully, by then, you'll have a better source. BTW, am I "Frick or Frack? KamelTebaast 20:25, 19 August 2016 (UTC)
- Kamel Tebaast, I just wanted to point two things out to you. First of all, that reverting at the precise end of 24 hours, is considered "gaming the system", in that it sticks to the letter of the law while violating its spirit, and is actionable just as though you had reverted within 24 hours. There is no precise limit for this, but I was recently topic banned for a revert after 26 hours. Secondly, that your threat to revert after 24 hours, even if it would be a safe margin after 24 hours, is still edit warring, and as such is also actionable in certain sensitive areas where discretionary actions can be taken (the IP-conflict area is one example of such an area). You should try to reach consensus instead. Debresser (talk) 11:22, 20 September 2016 (UTC)
Thanks for the joke
Dear Kamel Tebaast, thanks for your edit playing on the famous scene from 'And Justice for All.' I happened to watch this film very recently - of course I also watched it when it first was shown in Israel in the 1970's, but I was too young then to fully appreciate what a great film it was. It's still a great film, its message is just as relevant now as it was then, and probably even more relevant today. It's truly a timeless film.
Every time I think about your highly creative play on the film, I smile. I happen to disagree with many of your contributions to I/P articles and talk pages, but I like your sense of humor. Best, Ijon Tichy (talk) 18:25, 24 September 2016 (UTC)
- @IjonTichyIjonTichy: Thanks for the compliment. At least we can agree on something humorous. Although (for me) the quote from Network is more than apropos, it is way overused. KamelTebaast 04:31, 25 September 2016 (UTC)
- @Kamel Tebaast: Thanks for the feedback on 'Network.' By the way, at the AE board, I am not sure why you changed 'apotheosis' to 'hypothesis'? Best, Ijon Tichy (talk) 23:50, 30 September 2016 (UTC)
WP:COPYVIO
Copyright violations are an exception to 3RR/1RR, genius. Restoring copyright violations -- there's no excuse for that. — MShabazz /Stalk 11:38, 25 September 2016 (UTC)
There is also no rule that you can revert someone else's edit because it is an 1RR violation. The only thing you can go about that is take them to an administrative noticeboard. Zero 11:51, 25 September 2016 (UTC)
- @Zero0000: Thank you. I was just noting the 1RR, but reverted for the edit(s) that I noted. Is there a specific policy against making a wall of unrelated edits (some legit, WP:COPY, some not) in order to circumvent being reverted or does it fall under the umbrella of gaming the system? KamelTebaast 17:11, 25 September 2016 (UTC)
- Just saying "COPYVIO" is not enough. It is unclear what exact copyvio Malik is talking about, considering most of what he removed is attributed quotes inside quotation marks. He did not explain on the talk page. No More Mr Nice Guy (talk)
- Outside of what might possibly be construed as COPYVIOs, there were many 1RR violations, unless there is a 1RR exception to remove "fluff". KamelTebaast 18:03, 25 September 2016 (UTC)
- Consecutive edits are counted as one edit. So there's only one potential 1RR violation, depending on if there's actually a COPYVIO. No More Mr Nice Guy (talk) 18:12, 25 September 2016 (UTC)
- Yes, I know. Here is my take: Revert #1 (NO mention of COPYVIO). User:GHcool reverted here. Revert #2 here just outside of 24 hours. (First mention of COPYVIO to game system and, as you wrote, no details as to which edits are COPYVIO and no discussion in Talk.) I reverted here. Revert #3 here (within 24 hours of last revert). Aside from 1RR, add disruptive editing. KamelTebaast 18:45, 25 September 2016 (UTC)

Since you two geniuses seem unlikely to figure this out on your own, in this edit summary I wrote "clean-up, cut fluff -- stop copying and pasting from the source -- also, Lowy is a member of the US House of Representatives, not a member of the Texas House, and her introduction of a resolution doesn't mean it passed". Note the blue link to WP:COPYVIO in the edit summary.
GHcool reflexively reverted every one of my changes with the asinine edit summary "rv - please discuss before unilaterally deciding to remove cited material" -- as if it's my responsibility to get his approval for my edits. The WP:ONUS is on the editor who wishes to add material to build consensus for inclusion. So I reflexively reverted him; there's no requirement that I discuss copyright violations on the talk page. In fact, the message above the edit box on every page says "Content that violates any copyrights will be deleted."
Kemal Tebaast, you reflexively reverted my edit, and I reflexively reverted you. Copyright violations cannot be restored to the article. They are an explicit exception to WP:3RR and therefore 1RR. — Malik Shabazz /Stalk 19:52, 25 September 2016 (UTC)
- For the record, I have no problem with how the article stands at the time of this writing. --GHcool (talk) 22:34, 25 September 2016 (UTC)

can you believe this shit? For some editors discussing is a must and 1RR is a rule, but others can do whatever.

This message contains important information about an administrative situation on Misplaced Pages. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.Please carefully read this information:
The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding all edits about, and all pages related to post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.
Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Misplaced Pages, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you that sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

Email regarding WP:COPYVIO
Hi. I don't discuss routine Misplaced Pages stuff by email, for both transparency and privacy reasons. Your email confuses me a little. If you have written a paragraph, without copying from somewhere else (i.e. 100% your own work), you hold whatever copyright exists in that paragraph and there should normally not be an issue. If you have copied something written by someone else, then you do not hold the copyright to that copied part. Small, relevant and necessary, quotations are normally ok (when clearly marked as quotations), but otherwise it should not be done.
The only official place to formally ask about copyright of text, as far as I know, would be Misplaced Pages:Copyright problems. That place isn't really setup as a Q&A area, but you might get some help by asking on the talk page there. For informal advice, either Misplaced Pages:Teahouse/Questions or Misplaced Pages:Help desk, where the answers will almost always be necessarily non-committal when it comes to legal issues (which is ultimately what copyright ends up being). Hypothetical questions, particularly, can never really get a firm answer. Please do ask more questions at either of those venues, just don't expect definitive answers to open ended questions — the best we can normally do in cases like that is point to the policies and let you draw your own conclusions from them (unless you give some clear indication of something which is clearly forbidden, where we would probably be able to indicate that).

You should note how he "notified" you that he thinks there's a copyvio problem. The "genius" jab, which he also repeated later in case you missed it the first time, is (theoretically, depending on the people involved) not acceptable. No More Mr Nice Guy (talk) 16:02, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

All parties are cautioned that further breaches in civility occurring after this date in the PIA topic area will be be met with swift action at a lower threshold than has traditionally been the case.

Incomprehensible edit summary
There is no Synth there. The sources speak of 'problematic', 'simplistic' and 'reductive'. 'classify as' is a precise synonym for 'designate as'. Nishidani (talk) 16:14, 10 October 2016 (UTC)
- (1) "reductive" and "simplistic" are redundant--no problem using either; (2) the exact quote was "reductive essentialism" not reductive. The quote was attributed to studies. You then extrapolated it to apply to government designations. That is SYNTH (3) No problem with classification. KamelTebaast 16:35, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

Reminder to administrators: In May 2014, ArbCom adopted the following procedure instructing administrators regarding Arbitration Enforcement blocks: "No administrator may modify a sanction placed by another administrator without: (1) the explicit prior affirmative consent of the enforcing administrator; or (2) prior affirmative agreement for the modification at (a) AE or (b) AN or (c) ARCA (see "Important notes" ). Administrators modifying sanctions out of process may at the discretion of the committee be desysopped."
This message contains important information about an administrative situation on Misplaced Pages. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.Please carefully read this information:
The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.
Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Misplaced Pages, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you that sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.- After discussing the circumstances of this block with Kamel Tebaast, I am convinced that they understand what they did wrong, why it was wrong, and genuinely accept responsibility for their own actions. As a result of an appeal via email with the blocking administrator (myself), I am hereby commuting the length of the block to time served. The indefinite ban from WP:ARBPIA content remains in effect, and additionally Kamel is provided with official notification of special enforcement on Biographies of Living Persons.

Canvassing again
Kamel Tebast, you informed only one person about the AfD mentioned just above, and that was User:Atlantic306, who had previously removed the PROD. (I see him thanking you in the AfD discussion.) That is improper, as the choice of people to inform is supposed to be neutral. Please see WP:CANVASS, especially the part about vote-stacking. I noticed you have been warned about canvassing before, in July. You replied then that you hadn't known, but now you'd read and understood WP:CANVASS. I'm sorry to see you seem to have forgotten it again. Bishonen | talk 20:11, 17 October 2016 (UTC).
