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. Iskandar 323 (talk) 14:27, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
I think army slang in the 40s, certainly in the Australian army, faced off exasperating officialdom by recalling in doglatin, nihil illegitimus carborundum which apparently meant, 'never let the bastards grind you down.' Persist.Nishidani (talk) 14:39, 7 September 2021 (UTC)

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)
