Kindly please review this reversion.[1] I bring it to your attention since you are familiar with the case. As I suspected, we have the return of Bellshook (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). There has been no discussion on the talk page since you put full protection on the article. I do not mean that as "I told you so." My childish outburst at WP:RPP was stupid and unnecessary. I've taken your criticism that I did not behave any better to heart and I'm trying to practice WP:ONLYREVERT. --- Coffeeandcrumbs 01:16, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

@Coffeeandcrumbs (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) There have been several mentions of your deletion of the existing article on the talk page for the Cerf article. Please read and respond there. Bellshook (talk) 01:19, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

At first glance the Cerf article looks like a hit piece against the subject. In my opinion the article violates WP:UNDUE, though that is a matter for consensus. A lot of the wording isn't neutral. It seems to me that User:Bellshook didn't make much effort to find any material that would be favorable to Cerf. The steps of WP:Dispute resolution are available. EdJohnston (talk) 02:56, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

@EdJohnston I welcome changes to make the wording more "neutral" and to ensure compliance with WP:UNDUE. In fact, several edits were made by other uses in the prior version in those regards. However, deleting the entire article, which included more than 80 citations, is not the way to handle these issues. Gaining consensus and working methodically are ways to proceed. I plan to (again) revert to the version before the entire deletion. As a matter of good faith, I will not revert or change INSERTIONS by Coffeeandcrumbs or any other contributor. But broad deletions by Coffeeandcrumbs of cited facts (that follow WP rules) should not be permitted without consensus. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bellshook (talk • contribs)

@EdJohnston Also, wouldn't it be better to have this discussion on the talk page for Christopher Cerf (school administrator)? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bellshook (talk • contribs)

If you go forward with your plan to "to (again) revert to the version before the entire deletion" it is likely I will block you for continued edit warring. It is common for people named at AN3 to lecture others on the duty to get consensus even while they intend to keep reverting the article themselves. EdJohnston (talk) 16:26, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

@EdJohnston Why didn't Coffeeandcrumbs (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) need consensus before deleting the existing page that several people had created? Bellshook (talk) 23:59, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

The page at Talk:Christopher Cerf (school administrator) is open for your further suggestions of how to improve the page. If you encounter disagreement, which seems likely, you could opt for a structured approach such as an WP:RFC in which people could go over individual points to add to the article. An RFC can bring in people new to the dispute. An RfC requires you to propose specific changes such as 'Change X to Y in the article,' and then ask for support or oppose opinions.

AE, IP Address, Shebaa Farms West Bank

Hi, nothing to do with the meat of your comments but just to let you know Shebaa Farms is not in the West Bank. It's on the border of Lebanon and Israel. Sir Joseph ^(talk) 13:32, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

Block evading?

• Craft37by (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
• 86.57.247.119 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
• 46.53.178.122 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

I fear that Craft37by is evading his block by editing with this and this IPs. They pop up now and then, but looking at the nature of those IPs' edits it is obvious that it is the same person. This edit and its edit summary sums it all up quite nicely. Looking at Craft37by's latest unblock request it is evident that this user will not change his stance and the same POV pushing with personal attacks or insults will be continued. Either indefinite block or WP:ARBEE should be enforced (if his block will not be extended). – Sabbatino (talk) 07:37, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

User:Craft37by has already been alerted to WP:ARBEE. I had previously semiprotected Belarus, right after this suspicious edit by 46.52.178.122 restoring the same text as Craft37by. Just now I semiprotected Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Let me know if you see more IP edits. If Craft37by continues in the same style when his block ends, he may not be here long. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 14:47, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

Džordanas Brunas (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) This is possibly Craft37by's sockpuppet account since this user edits the same pages and continues to add or restore grammatically poor and/or POV content. – Sabbatino (talk) 13:31, 25 August 2018 (UTC)

Pakistan Infobox

Hello EdJohnston,

The Arabic language was deleted in the Infobox of the country Pakistan.

I understand that many Pakistanis don`t like Arabs or the Arab language because many Arabs in countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council don`t treat Pakistanis in an appropriate manner and don`t show respect for Pakistanis. However, this should not be a reason for deleting the Arabic language in the Infobox. It is true that the Arabic language is not spoken in Pakistan (it didn`t say in the Infobox that Arabic is a spoken language in Pakistan). Nevertheless, the Arabic language is mentioned in the constitution of Pakistan. The source for this information was mentioned.

So, it doesn`t matter if Arabic is spoken in Pakistan or not. It only matters if the Arabic language is mentioned in the constitution of Pakistan or not.

Maybe you know that 48% of the people in Pakistan speak Punjabi as a first language and only 8% speak Urdu as a first language. But it doesn't make sense to delete Urdu and to mention Punjabi as the official language of Pakistan on Wikipedia. Because it only matters what is mentioned in the constitution of Pakistan and according to the constitution of Pakistan only Urdu and English are the official languages of Pakistan.

The majority in South Sudan still speak Juba Arabic but the government of South Sudan deleted the Arabic language as an official language in 2011. In addition, the Arabs in Israel speak Arabic as their first language but the government of Israel deleted the Arabic language as an official language in 2018. These things are facts no matter if we like it or not.

Wikipedia should be based on facts and it is important to indicate always reliable sources for all information. Wikipedia should not be based on opinions. Otherwise, it doesn't make sense.

I would be very happy if you let me know how do you think about this issue.

Best regards,

Tom --Tom112233 (talk) 16:38, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

This is a content question which ought to be settled at Talk:Pakistan. As an administrator I don't have the power to decide whether Arabic should go in the infobox. It is up to the consensus of regular editors. EdJohnston (talk) 16:49, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

Hello EdJohnston,

Thank you very much for your reply.
