| ] Hi SteveBenassi! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Misplaced Pages{{Snd}} it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as ] or reverting obvious ]. Any edit that changes the ''meaning'' of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see ] for more information. Thank you. <!-- Template:uw-minor --> ] (]) 06:31, 9 May 2021 (UTC) | |||
| ] Your recent editing history at ] shows that you are currently engaged in an ]; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. 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 ] to work toward making a version that represents ] among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See ] for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant ] or seek ]. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary ]. | |||
| '''Being involved in an edit war can result in you being ]'''—especially if you violate the ], which states that an editor must not perform more than three ] 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 do not violate the three-revert rule'''—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.<!-- Template:uw-3rr --> ] (]) 14:29, 9 May 2021 (UTC) | |||

| :Just a word of advice. Don't revert anything. You never know - wait a day or a week or whatever and someone out there might do, or support, the edit you yourself wish to make. No one is alone. Yes, Misplaced Pages content can be a numbers game at time, but getting sucked into revert or edit wars, rather than exercising patience and doing a lot of small but incremental work no one would challenge, is, in those cases, is self-defeating. Some good edits take months, as one works through the various processes. It's crazy, and not the norm, but detachment, rather than being cornered, is what stable editing requires.] (]) 07:56, 12 May 2021 (UTC) | |||

| Yes, I met with a young reporter in his office and an Elder (conferenced in on the phone) in 2019 at the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe in Bemidji Minnesota to discuss the photos of the Wendigo Manitou archaeology recently discovered on the North Shore of Lake Superior in Tettegouche State Park, and at Wolf Ridge ELC, and at the "Magnetic Rock Minnesota" Trail on the US-Canada border near Gunflint Lake northeast of Grand Marais Minnesota. While waiting, two of the staff at the front desk knew me from my previous emails to the Band and we discussed the Wendigo briefly. They told me that the Elders tell them not even say the word Wendigo because bad things might happen. So they did not say the word Wendigo more than a few times before they stopped.

| I grew up in Silver Bay Minnesota and found a mountain size carving in what is now Tettegouche in 1974. In 2014 I took photos of everything I had found and sent them to the State of Minnesota, they interviewed me, and eventually published a link to my page in their August 2019 newsletter, page 5, "A Facebook page about the Marshall Mountain Triple Point map in northern Minnesota and its interpretation".

| Dear Fences, | |||
| I am new to Misplaced Pages, it is a lot more complicated than I could ever imagine. | |||
| I am not a good writer, and I am not a Vandal. | |||
| I care deeply about the fate of the world, and I am doing everything I can to stop the next war, by getting the truth out there. I have been doing talkbacks on Israeli news sites for over 10 years, but have stopped because the far-right in Israel doesn't care about the truth. Israel is a powerful country, they have a lot of support from Christians and Jews, especially in the US Congress, and in the Oval Office with the UN Veto. I know, and Jimmy Wales knows, Israel has been training their population on how to use Misplaced Pages, and there is a coordinated effort by the Israeli government to promote the Zionist narrative and stop all legitimate criticism of Israel, including on Misplaced Pages. | |||
| Three Users of unknown background are consistently blocking me and others, Shrike, NonReproBlue, and Skllagyook. They are probably Israeli or Zionist trained SockPuppet civilians. | |||
| I do not understand what I can and cannot do since I only have 100 edits and need 500 to avoid your sanctions. Are you saying my talk edit would not be a violation if I had 500 edits? "Are most modern day Jews or their ancestors indigenous to the Levant? The answer is no." | |||
| I was specifically reacting to a user who said Jews are indigenous based a magazine article. | |||
| https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Talk:Zionism&diff=next&oldid=1024907542 | |||
| I thought I could counter that with an actual paper that says most Jews are not indigenous to the Levant. | |||
| I was not trying to be provocative. I was trying to be to the point. | |||
| You say "You are allowed to post at that talk page under the ARBPIA restrictions only to make edits requests and constructively discuss the article content. Your post was a provocation, not a constructive comment. I advised you to stay away from such editing and discussions until you were extended confirmed; you chose to ignore this." | |||
| I really don't know what extended confirmed means. You say I can only make request to edit the page, and constructively discuss, which I thought I was doing. From now on I will make specific edit request and constructively discuss. | |||
| I will not appeal this 72 hour block, because it is a waste of everyone's time, and I know I will lose. | |||
| I came to Misplaced Pages with a new paper that supports Eran Elhaik's position that Jews are not a "race". I admire him for going against the grain at great risk to himself. He has helped me with my archaeology, haplogroup x, via emails in the past. | |||

| :"Playing by the rules" is good, but ] and ] are not - so be sure to learn the difference, i.e. believe in the spirit of collaborative editing to create a neutral encyclopedia. Coming here specifically to counter Zionists is not a good approach, see ] and ]. Your comment on my talk page that "You lost" to someone involved in an RSN discussion I'm afraid shows the wrong mindset. You're allowed to have interests as a Wikipedian, but bringing a strong point of view doesn't help, see ]. Trying to add one particular review article that supports your view of Jewish genetic history isn't the correct approach, see ] and ]. It can be part of the mix of what sources can be used, but you also need to acknowledge the mainstream view in scientific debates. | |||
| :] explains what extended confirmed means. Certain pages are protected from editing by users who have fewer than 500 edits or who have been editing for under 30 days. Both criteria need to be met. The Arbitration Committee (]) have also put in place rules in certain topics, often to do with nationalism, to restrict editing to extended confirmed users.
