Thises and Thatses

Hi Liftarn, I had a question and offer:

• I noticed that your signature tends not to include a date. Is something broken in your signature formatting? If so, I could potentially help you to debug it. Do you normally sign posts with three tildes, or four? ~~~~
• I noticed that your talkpage is getting kind of long, and is currently over 100K. Some people's browsers start having trouble with anything over 32K. If you'd like, I could set up an archive bot for you? That would automatically archive anything older than a certain date (like 30 days), and then you wouldn't have to worry about it anymore. :)

Yes, I usually sign with three tildes. Page archived. An archive bot might be a good idea. // Liftarn (talk)

Sure, happy to set one up for you.  :) Also, could I ask you to try and sign with four tildes, to date your posts? Especially if setting up a bot, they'd need a date to be able to tell how old a particular post was. --Elonka 00:55, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

Violation of edit restrictions on Muhammad al-Durrah

This edit not only removed well sourced information (2 references are given), but is a clear violation of the 0RR restriction on the page. Please undo it, or you may be subject to editing restrictions. Canadian Monkey (talk) 14:25, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

The content wasn't backed up the slightest bit by the sources. It is a zero revert limitation, not a zero edit limitation. // Liftarn (talk)

As you write "It is a zero revert limitation" - and you reverted. You are obviously aware of this limitation - please don't do it again. Canadian Monkey (talk) 16:01, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

It was a clear revert, and a violation of the Talk:Muhammad al-Durrah#Conditions for editing. --Elonka 01:23, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Palestine-Israel articles

As a result of the above-named Arbitration case, the Arbitration committee has acknowledged long-term and persistent problems in the editing of articles related to Israel, Palestine, and related conflicts. As a result, the Committee has enacted broad editing restrictions, described here and below.

• Any uninvolved administrator may, on his or her own discretion, impose sanctions on any editor working in the area of conflict if, despite being warned, that editor repeatedly or seriously fails to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behavior, or any normal editorial process.
• The sanctions imposed may include blocks of up to one year in length; bans from editing any page or set of pages within the area of conflict; bans on any editing related to the topic or its closely related topics; restrictions on reverts or other specified behaviors; or any other measures which the imposing administrator believes are reasonably necessary to ensure the smooth functioning of the project.
• Prior to any sanctions being imposed, the editor in question shall be given a warning with a link to this decision; and, where appropriate, should be counseled on specific steps that he or she can take to improve his or her editing in accordance with relevant policies and guidelines.
• Discretionary sanctions imposed under the provisions of this decision may be appealed to the imposing administrator, the appropriate administrators' noticeboard (currently WP:AE), or the Committee.

These editing restrictions may be applied to any editor for cause, provided the editor has been previously informed of the case. This message is to so inform you. This message does not necessarily mean that your current editing has been deemed a problem; this is a template message crafted to make it easier to notify any user who has edited the topic of the existence of these sanctions.

Generally, the next step, if an administrator feels your conduct on pages in this topic area is disruptive, would be a warning, to be followed by the imposition of sanctions (although in cases of serious disruption, the warning may be omitted). Hopefully no such action will be necessary.

This notice is only effective if given by an administrator and logged here.

Please ensure that future edits at Muhammad al-Durrah comply with the editing conditions at the talkpage. Specifically, do not revert other editors, and do not remove sources. Thanks, Elonka 01:23, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
