Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; 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 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; read about 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 you 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 do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
I have no opinion on the content. I just happened to notice the reverting. Onorem (talk) 22:58, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, i got it. But please check @Horse Eye's Back because he started it by disturbing the article with no argument. Stephan rostie (talk) 23:05, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You also need to read wp:bludgeon. Slatersteven (talk) 16:50, 18 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You might also want to read wp:spa. Slatersteven (talk) 16:59, 18 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You also need to read WP:RIGHTGREATWRONGS. Slatersteven (talk) 17:29, 18 March 2023 (UTC) You need to read wp:agf and wp:npa, to accuse users of disruption because you do not like their edits is not a good route to editing here. Slatersteven (talk) 12:35, 19 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No i am accusing them of disruptive editing because they ignored the consensus reached in the talks page between I and @Matt Smith (back when it was only I and him) without even bothering themselves to join or probably even see the talks. Stephan rostie (talk) 12:42, 19 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That is an assumption of bad faith, they are not required to accept your (or Matt Smith's reasons). Nor is silence agreement, they may have been waiting to see what you wrote (or (as I did) not even catch your talk page comment, as many users watch many pages, they do not concentrate on single articles or even topics). Also I am unsure MAtt agreed with you, as they say "The status of Taiwan (island) is still in dispute and is not internationally recognized as a part of China. Therefore, it's different from the other case you mentioned. ", I see no comment where they alter that view. So it may well be no one took part as they assumed Matts objection meant you would not assume you had consensus. In addition, there is a least one other objection (along the same lines) before you make your edit. Slatersteven (talk) 13:11, 19 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You should also not alter your posts, after they have been replied to. Slatersteven (talk) 13:19, 19 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Is that a wikipedia policy or advice ? Stephan rostie (talk) 13:21, 19 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Offical advice WP:REFACTOR. Slatersteven (talk) 13:28, 19 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Okay got it Stephan rostie (talk) 13:48, 19 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Slatersteven, pointing to an informal help page as "official advice" is a bit questionable. Stephan rostie may be looking for the "Editing others' comments" and "Editing own comments" sections of the talk page guideline. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:51, 17 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No my account has not been hacked, and that might tell you something (read wp:agf). Slatersteven (talk) 13:44, 22 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Okay 👍 Stephan rostie (talk) 13:47, 22 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You have recently edited a page related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic designated as contentious. This standard message is designed as an introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially-designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

• adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
• comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
• follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
• comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
• refrain from gaming the system.

Additionally you must be logged-in, have 500 edits and an account age of 30 days and are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on a page within this topic.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template. Prolog (talk) 16:10, 17 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

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 Russo-Ukrainian war. Due to past disruption in this topic area, the community has authorised uninvolved administrators to impose contentious topics restrictions—such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks—on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, expected standards of behaviour, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic. For additional information, please see the guidance on these sanctions. 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.

Please note that only extended-confirmed users are allowed to make edits related to the Arab–Israeli conflict or the Russo-Ukrainian War. Prolog (talk) 16:10, 17 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from using talk pages for general discussion of this or other topics. They are for discussion related to improving the article in specific ways, based on reliable sources and the project policies and guidelines; they are not for use as a forum or chat room. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. See the talk page guidelines for more information.

Hi; at topics related to the Israel-Arab conflict, editors are restricted to one revert every 24 hours: An editor must not perform more than one reverts on a single page—whether involving the same or different material—within a 24-hour period. An edit or a series of consecutive edits that undoes or manually reverses other editors' actions—whether in whole or in part—counts as a revert.

You have made three reverts within a 24 hour period:

1. 20:56, 8 June 2024
2. 20:25, 8 June 2024
3. 16:52, 9 June 2024

Please self-revert 16:52, 9 June 2024. BilledMammal (talk) 15:07, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi; I see you have continued editing since I made this request, with another revert at Nuseirat refugee camp massacre, although this one is not a 1RR violation. Please self-revert 16:52, 9 June 2024; I don't want to have to report you, and given the number of warnings and sanctions you have received for 1RR violations recently I don't think you want me to report you either.

• Paraphrasing: Beyond limited quotations, you are required to put all information in your own words. Following the source's wording too closely can lead to copyright issues and is not permitted; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when paraphrasing, you must still cite your sources as appropriate.

Thanks for notifying me Stephan rostie (talk) 14:44, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your edit to Zionism as settler colonialism has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for information on how to contribute your work appropriately. For legal reasons, Wikipedia strictly cannot host copyrighted text or images from print media or digital platforms without an appropriate and verifiable license. Contributions infringing on copyright will be removed. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources for more information. You've been editing for more than a year now. You should know better than this. C F A 💬 21:23, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

here: Rajoub570 have added info to a ton of places with referenced to a D Grossman; I assumed it was the Israeli professor, and asked him to translate his he.wp bio User_talk:Rajoub570#D._Grossman. If that is the guy, surely he is WP:RS? Somehow all his info about Palestinian places are about how a place was "abandoned", or newly arrivals et, etc. Do you know anything more about the source? Btw, I have the article, but I don't know Hebrew, and is dependent on translate.bing.com Huldra (talk) 22:59, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Another question about a different revert. Here you said that the edit was being discussed at article talk but I didn't see anything there about starvation. Would you please kindly point me to the article talk discussion that is relevant? Simonm223 (talk) 19:38, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey @Simonm223, the inclusion of the watson institute estimate is currently being discussed at Gaza Strip famine talks page here at “Infobox estimated death count, and proposal” section. My bad i should have elaborated that in my edit summary. Stephan rostie (talk) 23:13, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's rather irregular to revert an edit on one page om the basis of an ongoing discussion at an entirely different page. I would suggest you either open a discussion at the relevant article talk or self-revert. Simonm223 (talk) 00:34, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

They are both discussing the same source, note that xDaniel has been in discussion of the source on the other talk page since the very beginning, anyway i would have reverted him either ways as Watson Institute of Brown University is indeed a WP:RS. Stephan rostie (talk) 11:59, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

OK but there are other involved parties on that page and the discussion of that page should be there. Simonm223 (talk) 12:47, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How prominent is this name? [1] also few google books results. Beshogur (talk) 22:46, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also 4 of your sources has no pages. Beshogur (talk) 22:47, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also I'll ask to revert your edit, you have violated 1RR. Beshogur (talk) 22:08, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
