Rabbi Eckstein Passing

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yechiel_Eckstein

Hi, with the passing of Rabbi Eckstein and possibly an influx of people to his Wiki page - can we get the corrections I originally submitted approved? If not, is there a way to fast track it? Thanks! Teachtosing (talk) 17:09, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Teachtosing: The key is to be able to verify the changes. Based on what you've said, there are likely to be more things published about him in the near future, so that may assist with the verification. Please link to anything published, particularly online.

I will not be of much direct assistance myself the next few days, and I'm attending to some off-wiki matters. —C.Fred (talk) 04:46, 7 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I made a change to the Rabbi's page. I changed the birth place to where he was actually born. I referenced the IFCJ.org website. I was facing a lot of pressure to get this correct because many news sources were picking up the wrong birth location ... from Wiki. Thanks! Teachtosing (talk) 21:58, 7 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Balhae and Balhae controversies

The user Hatchiko disputing the article Balhae and Balhae controversies got banned. Can you please put the articles on semi-protected mode for autoconfirmed users? Koraskadi (talk) 04:35, 10 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Koraskadi: I don't see evidence of a ban. However, since there appears to have been block evasion, I've reverted the text. You'll need to appeal to the admin who protected the articles to lower the level. —C.Fred (talk) 04:43, 10 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Rogers, Arkansas

Thank you C.Fred, it seems that students at a high school in Rogers are attempting to remove the addition as the nickname was crafted by students of a rival school. I am an editor at the Rogers Morning Newspaper and am simply trying to add in the nickname as it was voted on by our residents. Thanks again. Jaloevera (talk) 21:18, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Jaloevera: If you are an editor at the Rogers Morning Newspaper(sic), then please provide a link to an online version of the story. —C.Fred (talk) 21:20, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

(Though technically, we need the story to run in some other paper, because otherwise there's an issue with original research, since you're trying to cite yourself.) —C.Fred (talk) 21:21, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It’s simply a nickname voted on by over a thousand residents, I can assure you the nickname is in no way meant to be offensive or denigrate the city or its residents in any way. I can provide my credentials if absolutely necessary however I would prefer not to as I would like to remain anonymous and as an independent editor. Would adding a Trivia tab under the page be more acceptable? Please let me know, thank you for your time. Jaloevera (talk) 21:31, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Jaloevera: It does not belong in the intro. The best that would happen would be to add a sentence in the Demographics section along the lines of "In a 2019 poll by the Rogers Morning News, residents voted 'The City' as a nickname for Rogers" with a citation to the newspaper story. The issue then is verifying that the story actually ran. If the paper had an online presence, that would be the easiest fix: link to the online version of the story. —C.Fred (talk) 21:39, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Portage, IN

You removed the political description off of the Portage, IN page. I cited correctly on there from the 2nd largest newspaper Indiana the information related to my edit where the last elected mayor was removed from office due to a bribery conviction. It was cited correctly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.77.206.203 (talk) 20:41, 16 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You need to discuss your concerns at Talk:Portage, Indiana. The editor (not me) who removed the material has pointed out that it's largely unsourced and that you do not have consensus for the change. You cannot appeal to me to skirt past 3RR. —C.Fred (talk) 20:47, 16 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Rum

i have already done that please see user:Samsara talk page, and please dont revert my sourced edits without consultation, please revert back to the last edit, regards. 175.137.72.188 (talk) 13:54, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If you are editing Rum, you need to get consensus at Talk:Rum. —C.Fred (talk) 13:55, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

please revert your revert, i have already discussed the matter with user:Samsara in user's talk page who has no objection, if you have any further objection, we can discuss this matter in the article talk page, regards. 175.137.72.188 (talk) 13:58, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

And at last check, Samsara has concerns about copyright infringement. Besides, other editors have opposed the change. I'm pinging Samsara so they see this discussion, but again, you really need to have this discussion at the article's talk page, not multiple users' talk pages. —C.Fred (talk) 14:02, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

i have already corrected that, as i have already stated, which i dont like to repeat, please bring the discussion to the talk page where i have already started a thread but i have not got any replies, and inform your reservations, and dont revert my edits needlessly which is backed by RS, please revert it back again, i have tried to discuss with all the users who had reservations, regards. 175.137.72.188 (talk) 14:08, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The thread is now going on the talk page. I will not and may not revert back to your edits; another editor has confirmed they are a copyright infringement and deleted the relevant page versions. That said, I support Samsara's current addition to the article, although it may need more refining. —C.Fred (talk) 17:53, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Halifax Regional Municipality

Hello, I noticed that City of Halifax Regional Municipality is titled wrong while the Cape Breton Municipality is titled correct. Could you please fix this so that the Halifax wiki article says "Halifax Regional Municipality" instead of "Halifax, Nova Scotia". The Halifax Article should look like the Cape Breton article. Thanks, and cheers.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halifax,_Nova_Scotia

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cape_Breton_Regional_Municipality — Preceding unsigned comment added by FreakyBoy (talk • contribs) 20:47, 23 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@FreakyBoy: Two points. First, "Cape Breton" is ambiguous, since it could refer to the municipality or the island. Note that Cape Breton, Nova Scotia redirects to the island. There is no such ambiguity with "Halifax". Second, the title of the article has been discussed extensively, so any attempt to move it would require the requested move process. Please make sure you've read the Talk:Halifax, Nova Scotia archives to see the outcome of previous move discussions. —C.Fred (talk) 00:02, 24 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

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. ^{[Username Needed]} 13:09, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome?

Your "Welcome" message is actually a weiled threat apparently aimed to prevent any changes of the existing version of that article. --93.86.142.92 (talk) 17:04, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No, it is an advisory about our policies on edit warring, which you are in jeopardy of violating. WP:3RR is a brightline rule. —C.Fred (talk) 17:18, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, how come? The other party is by no chance in the same jeopardy? No need to warn him the same way?--93.86.142.92 (talk) 19:35, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The other party is an established editor and should already be familiar with the guidelines. Thus, they don't need the same early notification that an unregistered editor who is demonstrating intent to edit war needs. —C.Fred (talk) 19:44, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ras el Hanout

Hello

where do you see a consensus here? I see a user who brought his friend to help him out in the discussion. and another user who gave a 3rd opinion and proposed a version which was refused at the beginning by M.Bitton. --AZSH (talk) 00:57, 28 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
