UserEli185.2/Maximilian Kellner

Hello, you've created two similar articles:

• User:Eli185.2/Maximilian Kellner, and
• UserEli185.2/Maximilian Kellner.

The second one is actually published to main article space, with an odd title, because it's missing a colon (:) between "User" and Eli185.2". Did you intend for one of them to be a published article?

If so, then your username needs to be removed from the title, by moving it to Maximilian Kellner.

If not, then you could move the second one to User:Eli185.2/Maximilian Kellner (2) or similar. Please let me know if you would like any help with this. Thanks, Wikishovel (talk) 19:25, 28 January 2024 (UTC)

Thank you! I was wondering why I couldn't find it. I'd like to keep the content of UserEli185.2/Maximilian Kellner . I'll move it to the mainspace and delete the other one (created by mistake) Eli185.2 (talk) 19:29, 28 January 2024 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for February 12

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of claims for restitution for Nazi-looted art, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Max Fischer. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, --DPL bot (talk) 06:08, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for your addition to the Winnipeg Art Gallery's page...

But just a note that neither The Walrus' follow-up research, nor Andreas Zeising's initial research on Ferdinand Eckhardt, claims that Eckhardt was a member of the Nazi party. In both cases, the relevant research concerns his involvement in, and articles for, Nazi-affiliated organizations and journals -- but not party membership as such. A subtle distinction perhaps, but one worth making. Thank you, all the same, for your work on this; I've made the appropriate update. :) RustbeltRooster (talk) 01:10, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

March 2024

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit of yours to the page Catholic Church in the United States has an edit summary that appears to be inadequate, inaccurate, or inappropriate. The summaries are helpful to people browsing an article's history, so it is important that you use edit summaries that accurately tell other editors what you did. Feel free to use the sandbox to make test edits. Thank you. Bettering the Wiki (talk) 08:15, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

Your edits at Allegations of genocide in the 2023 Israeli attack on Gaza

It's the second time your edits to Allegations of genocide in the 2023 Israeli attack on Gaza have to be reverted. I suggest you not to edit that article without gaining a consensus. In particular, please keep in mind that additions of biased and/or poorly sourced content are likely to be reverted, wasting everyone's time. The NYT publication you linked to at both edits is not considered reliable due to significant controversies surrounding its authors. But read Talk page first before adding content. — kashmīrī ^TALK 11:51, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

It is against Wikipedia policy to remove citations of well known sources such as New York Times, Guardian and Reuters.

There is also no reason to remove valid links to other Wikipedia articles.

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

• adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
• comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
• follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
• comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
• refrain from gaming the system.

Additionally, you must be logged-in, have 500 edits and an account age of 30 days, and are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on a page within this topic.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.
