Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to 1948 Palestinian exodus from Lydda and Ramle may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "[]"s. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

Palestine article

Hi Eric, I reverted you earlier with the comment "Revert most, in the spirit of WP:BRD. Could we add back in more summary form? Too much text here unbalances the article. More can go in to History of Palestine)", but you then reverted me. BRD means the onus is on you to discuss at the article talk page.

Palestine has a history of many thousands of years - if we had so many paragraphs for every few hundred years as you are suggesting, the whole article will become too long.

That's why we have the History of Palestine article.

Could you please reconsider?

Oncenawhile (talk) 21:35, 2 September 2013 (UTC) OK. Give me a day of three and I will check. Erictheenquirer (talk) 11:00, 4 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Question

Is User:Enquiringeric a previous account of yours? Brad Dyer (talk) 20:31, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed - I lost an email address and then a password and had great difficulty in trying to retrieve it, so I created a new account.Erictheenquirer (talk) 10:48, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ok , thanks. Any other previous accounts you'd like to disclose? Brad Dyer (talk) 16:18, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Nope - only have the one active account. Any idea how I can get rid of the redundant (inaccessible) Enquiringeric account? I hate having loose ends lying around, and there is always the risk of bad-faith accusations of "sock-puppeteering". Your help would be much appreciated. Erictheenquirer (talk) 12:54, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Have you previously edited under any other accounts (whether inactive now, or IP)? Epeefleche (talk) 20:19, 31 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have only ever had two accounts as I explained to Brad Dyer, with similar names. I had problems (password and/or logging onto G-mail) with one of them, so I abandoned it. I now only use Erictheenquirer. I am sure that it can be verified that there is no overlap between the two in time. I asked Brad if he knew how to get rid of the redundant User:Enquiringeric, but it seems that he did not, so unfortunately this will continue to be the case in the future, and there appears to be nothing that I can do about it. Erictheenquirer (talk) 08:10, 1 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Epeefleche and Brad Dyer:Since this is the second time that I have received a question on this topic I have initiated greater efforts to try to get the old user-name erased - it appears that there are indeed means to do so. In the process I discovered that the past problem was not with my G-mail account, so I can only presume that I had Wiki password problems. I will keep this page informed of progress. Erictheenquirer (talk) 08:34, 1 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Have you had any other accounts? Even if their names were not similar? Or they are not active (other than the one disclosed above; Enquiringeric)? Or have you edited otherwise as an IP? Happy new year. Epeefleche (talk) 21:30, 1 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No, to all questions. As stated before, I only remember 2 accounts, and only one of those is in current use. Erictheenquirer (talk) 09:44, 2 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Epeefleche and Brad Dyer:I have reported the additional account to Admin, and they have duly noted it. It seems that it is not necessary for me to seek cancellation of the earlier account, because the Wiki rule is not to USE more than one account. Simply HAVING more than one is not a violation. Done and dusted. Erictheenquirer (talk) 08:23, 6 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Reference Errors on 20 December

Hello, I'm ReferenceBot. I have automatically detected that an edit performed by you may have introduced errors in referencing. It is as follows:

Palestinian legislative election, 2006

Hello Eric. I saw that you suggested several additions on the talk page, and put them there for comment first. I made a comment on the inappropriateness of some of the material, but it appears that you have added it anyway. Could you review the talk page comments? Also, it appears that you have messed up some code somewhere on the page, as below a certain point it is all offset – could you fix this please? Thanks, Number 5 7 21:50, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Number 57:Regrettably I am unable to find the cause of the formatting wobble. Not sure what to do now. Erictheenquirer (talk) 08:38, 1 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
