Fast of Behav moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Fast of Behav, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Every claim in the article is carefully and accurately sources. Can you please explain what the problem is? Dovidroth (talk) 13:39, 31 January 2022 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Rabbi Pinchas Mordechai Teitz.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Rabbi Pinchas Mordechai Teitz.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 16:30, 14 March 2022 (UTC)

As far as I can tell, I selected "Non-free historic image". Please let me know if there's something else I need to do. Thanks. Dovidroth (talk) 13:36, 15 March 2022 (UTC)

Thank you Dovidroth (talk) 04:22, 12 April 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for edits

Thank you for your edits on HaAderet v'HaEmunah! They are much appreciated. I am planning to write further articles on piyyutim and other parts of davening in the future and if I do, I may ask for your eyes on them to help with issues of specificity. I also hope you don't mind if I go through Fast of Behav for adding references, minor copyedits, and such-- please feel free to change any edits that I do on that page without concern that I am trying to edit-war. Cheers, Gilded Snail (talk) 17:25, 23 October 2022 (UTC)

Sure, I will try to look over what you write. Dovidroth (talk) 05:33, 24 October 2022 (UTC)

The 'small minority' bias

Hi Dovidroth. Thank you for this edit. If you could review the introduction to the article of the Balfour Declaration and comment on it, I'd appreciate it. I think it suffers from similar biases. Thanks in advance! Tombah (talk) 07:58, 15 January 2023 (UTC)

@Tombah:Thanks for your support and I will try to get to it soon. The person who made the edit that I reversed is fighting with me on the talk page. If you could write something supporting me, I would appreciate it.Dovidroth (talk) 08:05, 15 January 2023 (UTC)

Inappropriate canvassing

Per the above thread and this edit, it appears that you have been canvassing—leaving messages on a biased choice of users' talk pages to notify them of an ongoing community decision, debate, or vote. While friendly notices are allowed, they should be limited and nonpartisan in distribution and should reflect a neutral point of view. Please do not post notices which are indiscriminately cross-posted, which espouse a certain point of view or side of a debate, or which are selectively sent only to those who are believed to hold the same opinion as you. Remember to respect Wikipedia's principle of consensus-building by allowing decisions to reflect the prevailing opinion among the community at large. Thank you.

Violation

You have violated the 1RR rule in Six-Day War and you have been warned by it by another user and chose to ignore it. If you make any more edits before reverting your own edit there, you will be reported. Dan Palraz (talk) 14:51, 29 January 2023 (UTC)

Nice try. You are the one who broke 1RR:

first revert

And...

second revert

We can take this to WP:AE whenever you want. Dovidroth (talk) 15:08, 29 January 2023 (UTC)

To be clear, if another editor breaches the WP:1RR limit, you should ask them to self-revert on their talk page, and you certainly should not take it upon yourself to revert them when it means you in turn breach the WP:1RR. You've now done this twice, both on Six-Day War and Sam Kassin. Both of you would find yourself in hot water if either of you took this to AE. Iskandar323 (talk) 17:40, 29 January 2023 (UTC)

Sorry, I didn't know that. I thought I was allowed to revert someone who already broke 1RR, in a case of 'status quo ante bellum'. My apologies. Next time I'll ask the breacher to revert himself and make a report at AE if he refuses. Although I'm not sure whether Sam Kassin is under 1RR restrictions like ARBPIA articles. Either way, I'll be careful. Thanks for your help. Dovidroth (talk) 18:08, 29 January 2023 (UTC)

You're right, I got muddled on Sam Kassin, but yes, there's no status quo ante bellum. Iskandar323 (talk) 12:57, 31 January 2023 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently been editing the Arab–Israeli conflict which has been designated a contentious topic. This standard message is designed as an 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.

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.

Uncited but ...

Hey, in this edit, it's all uncited and semi-duplicative, but there were quite a few related wiki links that I can't see used anywhere else on the page - the Nebi Musa riots one for instance - isn't it remiss not to have a link to that Jerusalem-specific event? Iskandar323 (talk) 04:58, 13 April 2023 (UTC)

The Nebi Musa riots is already linked, just like the other ones. Dovidroth (talk) 09:47, 13 April 2023 (UTC)

I see. It was some deep piping. Iskandar323 (talk) 09:56, 13 April 2023 (UTC)

Notice
