Just letting you know the section you started at the talk page of the admin noticeboard has been moved to the noticeboard itself and it would be a good idea for you to read the replies there and review WP:SOCK. Beeblebrox (talk) 05:29, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

Hello Kazemita1,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Tafsir Roshan for deletion, because it doesn't appear to contain any encyclopedic content. Take a look at our suggestions for essential content in short articles to learn what should be included.

Re: Tafsir Roshan

You shouldn't do that. If you want to start an article and add content to it later, you should use your sandbox. This is your sandbox. — DivaKnockouts 00:14, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

Got it.Kazemita1 (talk) 00:15, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

You can also create other sandboxes of you are using one. This can be done by creating an article like this "User:Kazemita1/sandbox/NAMEOFARTICLE". If you ever need anything, ping me on my talk page. — DivaKnockouts 00:26, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

Many articles created rapidly

Forgive me if I am incorrect, but it appears as though you are creating many articles very rapidly with very similar content. As I am not an expert in your field, I will not presume that you are doing anything wrong, just please be careful. Best wishes, and please let me know if you have any questions. --Jackson Peebles (talk) 01:48, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

Dear friend,

Thank you for your comment. The reason they are being generated so rapidly is solely because I have only weekend to work on them. Otherwise, I would probably created them gradually. If notability is a concern however, I will do my best to bring in more scholarly references (preferably in English).Kazemita1 (talk) 01:55, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

Menhaj Al-Sadeghin

Could you either stop creating these small articles that say nothing or start adding some information. You were asked in Tasneem Tafsir case the same thing. I haven't a clue what "century exegesis" is and the phrase in all the articles. It's hard to tell if the subject is a person or a book.

Also, interwiki links no longer go inside articles. See WP:WIKIDATA for more details. Bgwhite (talk) 09:15, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for the heads-up on Tasneem Tafsir as I was not sure the discussion got serious. I went ahead and added the century number to Menhaj Al-Sadeghin as well. Thanks for that as well.

Wow! So Wikipedia can detect if there is a similar article in other languages? That certainly means less work for me. Will keep that in mind.Kazemita1 (talk) 04:13, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

Your contributed article, ABU l-FATH al-DAYLAMI

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, ABU l-FATH al-DAYLAMI. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – placeholder. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at placeholder – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here.

Nikah mutah

Before you consifer adding your misyar info remember this discussion already occurred and after much talk it was rejected. Misyar is permanent marriage while muta is not. The criticism is about the temporary nature of mitah. So the comparisob is way off. You are trying to build a house of sand. You claim some scholar said misyar is temporary or that sunnis practice temporary? Well whoever you qilioted knows nothing about this topic or you have simply misquoted. This is proven from common sense alone becaude if sunnis practice temporary marriage then why are we so against muta. Anyone with logic can see the cinfusion in your edits. And anyway if you feel they are the same then add rhem on the misyar page not on criticism of twelvers page. This is criticism of twelver not criticism of sunni to make twelvers feel better. You want to defend murah then defend it by saying why the criticism of it as sexual deviance is incorrect according to twelvers.instead your trying to defend a wrong with another so called wrong. Thats wrong. Remember misyar was already rejected before in the artivle so dont keep adding it without consent.Suenahrme (talk) 04:00, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

Did you even bother reading what the scholar said, before reverting my edit? She realizes Misyar is permanent and Mutah is temporary, yet she finds similarities between them. Also, I read the Washington post article that was posted as a reference for the allegation that Mutah being a cover for prostitution. That did not come from the article, itself, but by just a female activist. You need better references for such a big claim.--Kazemita1 (talk) 15:11, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

You just admitted misayar = permanent & you admit the scholar says this. Well guess what that is why misyar was rejected for being added on the section in the previous discussion on the talk page. I think your having trouble realising that the reason mitah is criticised is because of it temporary bature. I dont know how many times i have to tell you this. Unless you can find a remporary sunni marriage you must stop trying to add the misyar section. Ni one is criticizing mutah for aby other reason than its temporary nature so fing something that is also temporary in other faiths if you want to include. But misyar is not it so stop reverting your edit when it is incorrect and pkus it has already been rejected for includion. And read all the sorces for pristitution given dont just take 1 and say its not enough. The end result is that this is what the refs say.Suenahrme (talk) 23:53, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

Mutah is not criticized just because of its temporary nature. It is criticized for multiple reasons, namely the fact that it is for men's pleasure. For this matter, Misyar is also found to be of similar category and criticized accordingly. Take this source for example:

"The sole object of the Misyar and Muta marriages is for sexual gratification in a licit manner. Like most practices in Islamic society, this is also skewed in favour of the male."

Islam and the West: The Clash Between Islamism and Secularism, By Mushtaq K Lod, p. 59

As you mentioned the end result is determined by the references. So do not start an edit war and let the reliable sources show up in the article.--Kazemita1 (talk) 01:43, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

Unbelievable. Of course mutah is onlt criticised because of its temporary nature. If mutahwas permanent then no sunni or westener on earth would be criticizing it. Misyar is permanent. No one is criticising mutah in the section for any other readon than its temporary nature. Temporary doesnt equal permanent. Therefore stop including your incorrect edit. Also your problem with me should also extend to the other editors who already rejected mistars addition on the talk page. So stop making it as though i am the only one holding this position. Until u can prove another temporary marriage from sunnis or any other religion stop your wrong edit.Suenahrme (talk) 02:44, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

What is unbelievable? The fact that Misyar and Mutah are equally criticized by this western source?--Kazemita1 (talk) 03:49, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

What is unbelievable is your stubbornness. Nothing other than the temporary narure of muta is criticised in the article yet you want to add musyar in the article. And just because the source says misyar like mutah is solely practiced for sexual pleasure does it make it true. Misyar is not practiced like mutah for solely sexual pleasure because it is permanent marriage. Simple as that. Should we then cobclude that all permanent marriage is practiced solely for sexual pleasure. So your ref here is not relevant because it nakes no sense. You need to add a marriage that is temporary if you want to include it along with the mutah section. Good luck in finding that. Anyway this article is called criticidm of twelver. Not criticism of others unrelated practices to make twelvers feel better about themsleves. Unless you can relate the temporary nature of mytah with another religions practice you are only defending a loosing cause.Suenahrme (talk) 05:07, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

The fact that Nothing other than the temporary narure of muta is criticised in the article is solely because you are removing sourced content from the article:

• "The sole object of the Misyar and Muta marriages is for sexual gratification in a licit manner. Like most practices in Islamic society, this is also skewed in favour of the male."

Islam and the West: The Clash Between Islamism and Secularism, By Mushtaq K Lod, p. 59 Kazemita1 (talk) 05:12, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

In other words, there are sources that criticize other aspects of Mut'a which they find in Misyar as well.Kazemita1 (talk) 05:14, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

No it is just you trying to add any persons statement no matter the inaccuracy of it just so you can have anything to equate mutah with misyar so you can divert the focus off mutah. Again the statement you use cant be used because misyar is permanent so the sole object of it clearly not sexual pleasure like muta. Otherwise the ref you are using is also implying that all other permanent forms of marriage are also solely for sexual pleasure. So why dont you also add that the western conception of marriage is also solely for sexual pleasuee? Why only focus on the permanent sunni misyar? Your argument really stands on sand. If you want to add that misyar is solely for sexual pleasure like mutah then must also add that all other permanent forms of marriage are also solely for pleasure.Suenahrme (talk) 05:33, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

I am not sure I understand your English very well, as there are several grammatical and spelling errors. But just so you know we in Wikipedia do not do original research[1]. We simply find relevant reliable sources and reflect the scholar's opinion in the article. Bottom line is you are only basing your arguments on your own personal opinions but I am talking based on references. My sources are saying the existence of such marriages (that are solely based on pleasure and not a regular family) is not specific to Twelver Shia Islam and there are similar examples in other sects.--Kazemita1 (talk) 05:46, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

You do realise that a person can find any ref to make a point on wiki no matter how false it is? If i looked hard enough im sure i can find a ref to pursue any agenda i wished on wiki. You are simply finding a ref to suit your agenda no matter how absurd and false it is. Tell me how your ref that equates permanent misyar solely with pleasure works? U just said that misyar is not based upon a regular fanily. Tell me how that is so when it is a permanent marriage? If it was solely for pleasure like muta then tell me why it is permanent? Why not maje it temporary like shia if that were the case? Do you see how your agenda is making you use a source that vlearly has no right to be included in wiki. Unless you can show that misyar is temporary then it has no right to be included alongside temporary mutah. You seem to be adding any content just to defend your creed. No legitimate sunni would ever say that your 12th imam is the mahdi. That defies even the basics common sense of the most illiterate sunnis. Yet you see no problem with adding this just to make yourself feel better. I hope some other wiki editors will eventually make you realise this is not the way to go about things.Suenahrme (talk) 05:59, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

If you have doubts about my sources, there is a place in Wikipedia to ask. It is called Reliable Source Noticeboard. Just go to WP:RSN and ask about my sources(both about Occultation and similarity of Misyar and Mut'a). If they find them unreliable then you can remove them; otherwise if they said they are OK, you have no right to revert my edits. This is how Wikipedia works.--Kazemita1 (talk) 17:17, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

Unvelievable. "They are very similar". Cery nice edit. In what way are they cery similar. You dont answer any of my questions but you keep reverting your ddit. Wiki doesnt exist ro make you feel better about yourself. You cant add blatantly false info just to give yourself confort. answer in what way they are similar? Mutah is criticised for it tenporary nature here. So tell me in what way mistar can be added alonside it for criticisn when it is permanent? The duty is on you not me to gain proof for its addition because the addition of misyar was already rejected on the talk pg. so stop trying to make it like i am the one that needs to work for its rejection.Suenahrme (talk) 00:28, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

Usuli/Akhbari

Brother i have fixed the first paragraph with regard to the violence as all 3 sources state. While most violence was under Behbahani's tenure, it was not confined purely to Iraq - as the sources show. I also fixed the positioning of the sources in the paragraph.

Abraham and "heir"

I see no reason at all for the word "heir" to be bolded. Bolding, so far as I know, is done in the first sentence of an article to identify the article title. I'm not aware of any other reason for it. Go ahead and de-bold. (Apologies for the slow response, but I'm giving up editing Wikipedia - too big a waste of my time). PiCo (talk) 23:42, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

by bolded I meant the text in your talk page; otherwise it is not bolded in the article. I meant keeping it or leaving it in the lead.

As for wasting time on Wikipedia you are on the right track friend.--Kazemita1 (talk) 23:45, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

Tafsir

Hi, thanks for contributing several articles in Category:Shia tafsir. As the head category Category:Tafsir is already a member of Category:Quranic exegesis and Category:Islam sciences, there was no need to put them into those categories as well (see WP:SUBCAT), and I have removed them.

It would probably be more useful to add relevant categories from Category:Books by date and Category:Books by language. I hope this helps! – Fayenatic London 17:59, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

Good point. Thanks. Will have to do that for Sunni Tafsirs as well.--Kazemita1 (talk) 21:05, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

works

Many thanks for your contributions, just did some copy-editing to your tafsir pages. Unfortunately, Shia and Sufi tafsirs are not covered in wikipedia. I am adding these new pages to List of tafsir works, do you think classifying tafsirs to Shia, Sufi,Sunni is helpful?. Kiatdd (talk) 20:44, 27 May 2013 (UTC)

Great job! As for categorization, I must say it is a bit tough to draw a line sometimes. I mean you may call a Tafsir Sufi, but it is still Shia according to some sources. What are the existing categories right now?--Kazemita1 (talk) 22:43, 27 May 2013 (UTC)

Thanks, Currently there are two categories Shia Tafsir and Sunni Tafsir. An institute called 'Royal Aal al-Bayt Institute for Islamic Thought',from Jordan, translates and publishes sunni tafsirs: www.altafsir.com, another sunni tafsir is translated into english: www.qtafsir.com. People started uploading them to sura pages (pages in template:Sura),as a result those pages mainly reflect sunni accounts, for example sura Al-Kauthar largely reflects sunni interpretations, i.e, 'kauthar' refers to a river in paradise, with beautiful birds, sweeter than honey, and so forth, and there is no mention of Shia interpretation of al-kauthar, perhaps because shia tafsirs are not translated into english. Tafsir shobar is in arabic, rather difficult to translate even for bilinguals. Another issue is wp:rs, according to guidelines we should not use 'primary sources' to edit articles. Shias, sunnis, and sufis disagree about the interpretation and occasions of revelation of some verses of the Qur'an.Kiatdd (talk) 16:50, 29 May 2013 (UTC)

regarding Mahdi and Muhammad al-Mahdi, some are on a mission to reject the doctrine and and reveal the 'true' version of islam, they need to be cleaned-up. Kiatdd (talk) 17:16, 29 May 2013 (UTC)

Would love to know more about your last statement. Curiosity is killing me :). --Kazemita1 (talk) 17:19, 29 May 2013 (UTC)

• But only link once, Ja'far al-Sadiq had three linkings
• Might be helpful to say that Tafsir means exegesis (which I've linked, not all readers will know the word)
• Better to have refs in-line, but not obligatory
• It's unusual to start refs with the title, rather than the author(s) and the year of publication

As I say, these are recommendations, up to you whether you follow them

Your report at WP:AN

I moved it to WP:ANI, see here. The AN page is for general notices to administrators, while ANI is for specific problems that need administrator assistance (the "I" stands for "Incidents"). I just wanted to inform you in case you wondered what happened to your report. -- Atama頭 22:57, 14 March 2014 (UTC)

Need your help

Salam alaikum, can't believe I forgot to ask you about this earlier. I started a topic at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Islam/Shi'a_Islam_task_force#Articles_which_include_Sunni_views_but_not_Shi.27a_views and it is something which will need more than one person. I notified Faizhaider but I think he is on Wikivacation or something. What I had in mind there were articles like wudu or wali and stuff. Often, the Sunni view isn't mentioned as the Sunni view in articles like these; it is simply presented as the view of all of Islam. I don't think it will be complicated to amend but it will be time consuming. If you know anybody else that could help, could you let them know too? MezzoMezzo (talk) 03:52, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

Alaykum salam. Thanks for the heads up. I will take a look as soon as I get a chance. Cheers.--Kazemita1 (talk) 15:18, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Succession to Muhammad

Hi, Kazemita. I can understand you wanted to bring the person who was apparently offering to mediate up to speed about how the copyright conflict had been seen by admins, i.e. the fact that the user had been sanctioned for repeatedly pasting long quotes. But people are humiliated by blocks. It's better if you can avoid mentioning a block explicitly on article talk, because it will be taken personally. One way of doing it could have been to say "[Name] is violating both wikipedia copyright policy and the law with these long quotations of copyrighted text, compare his page [link to the block notice]". It's the same, but it puts it on the violation rather than the sanction (with a link to the sanction as evidence). You may think I'm splitting hairs, but there's a bit of common sense in it too, I think. Bishonen | talk 09:13, 4 April 2014 (UTC).

Gotcha. --Kazemita1 (talk) 16:28, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for September 26

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Bábism, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Bāb. 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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Abu l-Futuh al-Razi

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Abu l-Futuh al-Razi requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://referenceworks.brillonline.com/entries/encyclopaedia-of-islam-3/abu-l-futuh-al-razi-SIM_0025. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. - HyperGaruda (talk) 18:43, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

1RR

Please read this notification carefully, it contains important information about an administrative situation on Wikipedia. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.

A community decision has authorised the use of general sanctions for pages related to the blockchain and cryptocurrencies. The details of these sanctions are described here. All pages that are broadly related to these topics are subject to a one revert per twenty-four hours restriction, as described here.

General sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimise disruption in controversial topic areas. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to these topics that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behaviour, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. An editor can only be sanctioned after he or she has been made aware that general sanctions are in effect. This notification is meant to inform you that sanctions are authorised in these topic areas, which you have been editing. It is only effective if it is logged here. Before continuing to edit pages in these topic areas, please familiarise yourself with the general sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

Notice of edit warring noticeboard discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you.Alex-h (talk) 23:02, 5 May 2019 (UTC)

Warning

You can't be making three reverts every few days and think that just because you don't technically violate 3RR you can avoid sanctions for edit warring. It doesn't work like that. Also, consensus does not need to be unanimous for something to be deemed unreliably-sourced or undue. It doesn't work like that, either. Thanks. El_C 23:41, 5 May 2019 (UTC)

RE your mail

I can make out a bit of Persian. I fail to see the point in linking to the letter (whose authenticity I am uncertain of - but I'll take it on faith). There is a saying in English - beggars can't be choosers - and this is particularly so for revolutionary movements. Most revolutionaries ask / attempt to get help from whomever might be willing to offer it (and MEK certainly has hopped between many beds from the 70s to date - willing to get help from anyone opposed to the Shah and subsequently the IRI (leading to a very diverse set of relationships). Did anything come out of these overtures? Apparently not - probably not for lack of MEK willingness to receive funds (from anyone), but rather due to the Soviet Union's collapsing finances in the 80s. Icewhiz (talk) 11:22, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

@Icewhiz:I respect your viewpoint. What I fail to understand however, is your hesitance in allowing a subsection in the article that collects all these "interactions with the Soviet Unions". I am hoping that you are noticing that I am no longer pushing for the word "Ties to KGB".--Kazemita1 (talk) 16:59, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

I don't think we need two sections (Saadati and KGB). As for placing and naming of a single section - there may he scope for discussion.Icewhiz (talk) 17:07, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

Please stop

Please stop adding assertions that are not verified in the supporting sources, as you did on the People's Mujahedin of Iran article. Alex-h (talk) 09:16, 13 May 2019 (UTC)

Notice of edit warring noticeboard discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you.

Block

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for edit warring, which I already warned you about. Please be more careful in the future. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

El_C 00:08, 14 May 2019 (UTC)

User:El_C Did you see my comments under the edit warring report?--Kazemita1 (talk) 00:10, 14 May 2019 (UTC)

Yes, but that does not respond to you having engaged in edit warring after being warned already. El_C 00:13, 14 May 2019 (UTC)

You realize, those edits were different each time right? --Kazemita1 (talk) 00:16, 14 May 2019 (UTC)

Not in so far as it had the line "A 2005 document published by Human Rights Watch accused MEK leadership" — a partial revert still counts as one. El_C 00:23, 14 May 2019 (UTC)

"not verified by the source"

Regarding this edit by User:Nikoo.Amini, this is the image of the relevant page of the book. It reads:

Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia and some other Gulf states supported a number of Iranian oposition groups, including the Mujahedin-e-Khalq based in Iraq and some royalist opposition figures

I don't know what you mean. Not to be tautological, but justice is justice. I'm not sure what that has to do with you edit warring, even if you are right on the content. The place to convince people you are, indeed, right on the content is on the article talk page. El_C 00:01, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

I will be sure to add this piece in the talk page. Just watch how people react to simple and plain facts. I mean how much easier does it get. The source is explicit in its assertion. Yet, they respond by group-wise edit warring and then accuse the other party using wiki-lawyering techniques. and YOU fail to see this trend.--Kazemita1 (talk) 00:07, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

I acknowledge it in this case, but I'm not sure about a trend. That's because I'm not that familiar with article's editing history to tell one way or another. El_C 00:30, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

New page restriction

Please familiarize yourself with the editing page restriction now enforced on the article. I'll give you a chance to self-revert, so that sanctions can be avoided, in this instance. Basically, there's to be no more edit warring of any kind on the article. That said, please note that if I or another admin finds that the objection to your addition lacks merit, that addition may be reintroduced, eventually. But for now, please try to work on getting consensus for it, as that threshold has become mandatory. El_C 17:27, 21 June 2019 (UTC)

@User:El_C I went ahead and reverted my changes along with those of others that were made after the article was opened. I am left with one question, however. How come you did not leave this message on Alex-h's talk pages, even though he made reverts (1&2) on the article (albeit without pressing the revert button). Please, realize that I am not trying to question your authority or hurt your ego. This is just an honest question for my own clarification.--Kazemita1 (talk) 08:20, 22 June 2019 (UTC)

Because I was not made aware of that. And now that I am, I can't tell that these are reverts. What version/s are these reverting? Also, BLP-invoked edits are exempt from the restriction — though I did make it clear to the user that they need to better establish their BLP claim before they can invoke it again. El_C 17:36, 22 June 2019 (UTC)

Fair enough.--Kazemita1 (talk) 17:38, 22 June 2019 (UTC)

Final warning about adhering new editing restrictions

Do you not understand that you can't revert back in an addition that was already reverted out? You need to gain consensus for it first. Please self-revert. El_C 00:02, 3 July 2019 (UTC)

I thought it was in the article already and they initiated the removal. Fixed now.--Kazemita1 (talk) 07:59, 4 July 2019 (UTC)
