More violations

This is called WP:CANVASSing and is another way to get blocked. Zero^talk 01:30, 26 July 2016 (UTC)

Thank you. I did not know. KamelTebaast 01:46, 26 July 2016 (UTC)

I just read about WP:CANVASS. As I understand, if I invite editors with different views, it is not canvassing. I'd invite others now, however, the Speedy (for now) has been removed. KamelTebaast 02:10, 26 July 2016 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for July 26

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Mahdi Satri, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Gaza (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

You got me, I am a Palestinian hacker based in the Gaza Strip.

You are very very close from me setting your block as my life goal. Saying I am lying about my identity is more than a personal attack.--Bolter21 (talk to me) 18:18, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

If you re-read what I wrote, I made no statements about you, I simply asked Nishidani questions. I asked an editor who is all about verifiable sources, where his sources were regarding some of his statements. Unless you and Nishidani have forgotten, we are anonymous editors. [Again, see:Essjay controversy] KamelTebaast 18:35, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

Just a correction, Nishidani is not about verifiable sources, Wikipedia is about verifiable sources. Anyway next time you"ll question my identity I"ll take another selfie with Syria.--Bolter21 (talk to me) 19:21, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

You are correct. My comment was to imply that Nishidani accentuates this often in his writings. So I was questioning the verifiability of his statements. Tizahare shom, ma'od mesukan! KamelTebaast 19:32, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

"sham" (unless you meant garlic) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Omysfysfybmm (talk • contribs) 12:26, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

Sham rhymes with ham; shum rhymes with room (garlic); shom rhymes with mom. I meant shom. KamelTebaast 16:35, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

What's 'shom'? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Omysfysfybmm (talk • contribs) 17:01, 23 August 2016 (UTC)

Omysfysfybmm, "there"

"Shom" is the Ashkenazi pronunciation of sham. You can ask Dovid (David) about it. At first I was a little surprised Bolter, as an Israeli, wouldn't immediately recognize it, but I guess the younger generations have little to no exposure to people who grew up speaking Yiddish. No More Mr Nice Guy (talk) 00:04, 20 September 2016 (UTC)

Yes, Dovid. :) Debresser (talk) 11:17, 20 September 2016 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Kamel Tebaast, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Fabian Núñez has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

• You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
• Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
• Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
• If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
• Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 20:17, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

DiannaaYou actually deleted the entire edit from the complete history so that it can't even be viewed by anyone? Why not just state a problem and allow it to be fixed? This can't even be properly discussed now, because I can't see what I edited. Is there a mechanism to challenge your complete deletion? Thank you. KamelTebaast 20:32, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

Further, as part of your deletion, you wrote that "...this content is about the son, not the subject of this article." The subject of the article was the Speaker of the California assembly and he used his relationship with the governor to get a reduction in his son's sentence. This was international news. That does not justify being in a Wikipedia article? KamelTebaast 20:43, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

The content is viewable at the source web page, http://tia.redlandsteaparty.net/an/tag/fabian-nunez/. It was the paragraph that starts "Núñez’s son, Esteban was convicted...", along with part of the following paragraph. Normally we don't include material about people's relatives in their articles. The content is only peripherally about the subject of the article. But my primary reason for removing it was the copyright violation. I can send you a copy of the removed material via email if you like. — Diannaa (talk) 14:12, 28 July 2016 (UTC)

Diannaa Yes, please send me the deleted material. I realized my first mistake was that I inserted work that was written by a prior editor. That won't happen again. However, to the merits of not generally including a relative, this story is what Fabian Núñez is most known for, as reported for years internationally, including recently. Thank you. KamelTebaast 16:14, 28 July 2016 (UTC)

Email sent. Let me know if it doesn't get through. — Diannaa (talk) 20:19, 28 July 2016 (UTC)

that Palestinian high school boy

• just fyi, There was a similar situation a couple of years ago. [1] the boy's name was Mohammad Zoabi. he got quite a bit of publicity. I have no idea how his life has gone since, I hope well, but please do not write things like "after he is dead" as you did at AFD. I hope he lives a long, productive, peaceful life.E.M.Gregory (talk) 21:26, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

You are right. I actually said a prayer for him when I wrote that, but did not want to interject religion. I, too, hope he lives a long and healthy life. Thanks. KamelTebaast 21:55, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for August 6

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Terrorism in the United States, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Palestinian and Ambassador Hotel (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Notice that you are now subject to an arbitration enforcement sanction

The following sanction now applies to you:

You are topic banned from the topic of the Arab-Israeli conflict, broadly construed, for one month.

You have been sanctioned for the reasons provided in response to this arbitration enforcement request.

This sanction is imposed in my capacity as an uninvolved administrator under the authority of the Arbitration Committee's decision at Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Palestine-Israel articles#Final decision and, if applicable, the procedure described at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions. This sanction has been recorded in the log of sanctions. If the sanction includes a ban, please read the banning policy to ensure you understand what this means. If you do not comply with this sanction, you may be blocked for an extended period, by way of enforcement of this sanction—and you may also be made subject to further sanctions.

You may appeal this sanction using the process described here. I recommend that you use the arbitration enforcement appeals template if you wish to submit an appeal to the arbitration enforcement noticeboard. You may also appeal directly to me (on my talk page), before or instead of appealing to the noticeboard. Even if you appeal this sanction, you remain bound by it until you are notified by an uninvolved administrator that the appeal has been successful. You are also free to contact me on my talk page if anything of the above is unclear to you. Lord Roem ~ (talk) 20:49, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

3RR violation at Movement for Black Lives

Your recent editing history at Movement for Black Lives shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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 article's 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. See BRD for 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 your 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 don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
You have now made four reverts. Please self-revert your last edit or I will report you and you may be blocked from editing. — MShabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 19:14, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

MShabazz, I appreciate you giving me the warning before going to Wikicourt over the 3RR. I actually thought it only related to protected pages, but I understand now it is all of Wikipedia. Because I reverted you four times, I'll give you an extra day before I revert you again, but hopefully, by then, you'll have a better source. BTW, am I "Frick or Frack? KamelTebaast 20:25, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

Kamel Tebaast, I just wanted to point two things out to you. First of all, that reverting at the precise end of 24 hours, is considered "gaming the system", in that it sticks to the letter of the law while violating its spirit, and is actionable just as though you had reverted within 24 hours. There is no precise limit for this, but I was recently topic banned for a revert after 26 hours. Secondly, that your threat to revert after 24 hours, even if it would be a safe margin after 24 hours, is still edit warring, and as such is also actionable in certain sensitive areas where discretionary actions can be taken (the IP-conflict area is one example of such an area). You should try to reach consensus instead. Debresser (talk) 11:22, 20 September 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the joke

Dear Kamel Tebaast, thanks for your edit playing on the famous scene from 'And Justice for All.' I happened to watch this film very recently - of course I also watched it when it first was shown in Israel in the 1970's, but I was too young then to fully appreciate what a great film it was. It's still a great film, its message is just as relevant now as it was then, and probably even more relevant today. It's truly a timeless film.

Every time I think about your highly creative play on the film, I smile. I happen to disagree with many of your contributions to I/P articles and talk pages, but I like your sense of humor. Best, Ijon Tichy (talk) 18:25, 24 September 2016 (UTC)

@IjonTichyIjonTichy: Thanks for the compliment. At least we can agree on something humorous. Although (for me) the quote from Network is more than apropos, it is way overused. KamelTebaast 04:31, 25 September 2016 (UTC)
