Please be careful when you throw the words "slander" and "libel" around as you did [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:RT_%28TV_network%29&diff=prev&oldid=700526530 here]. Use of those words treads very close to the edge of a legal threat, which is violates the [[WP:NLT|no legal threats]] policy. Violation of this policy can result in an immediate indefinite block. It is wise to avoid any ambiguity when it comes to legal language, generally by not using such terms that can be misinterpreted or make it clear that you are not the source of said potential legal action. Reading through your comment leads me to the conclusion that you would not be the source of any legal, but perhaps you may want to clarify this point.

== Topic ban for [[RT (TV network)]] and [[Talk:RT (TV network)]] ==

In my judgment as an uninvolved administrator, you have fallen below the expected standards for editor behavior on a page and talk page covered by discretionary sanctions (in this case, [[Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Eastern Europe]]). You were warned about this earlier by {{U|EdJohnston}}; the warning is still on this page. You are hereby topic banned for six months from the article [[RT (TV network)]] and its talk page. For appeals, please see [[Wikipedia:Arbitration_Committee/Discretionary_sanctions#Appeals_and_modifications]]. Thank you.

Culture of Israel

Your recent edits to the page are in violation of 3RR (and also 1RR regulations which apply to all topics related to the Israel-Palestine conflict).--IranitGreenberg (talk) 13:03, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A moderator settled it. I have not been in violation of 3RR. Thank you for your deep concern though! :) Solntsa90 (talk) 20:46, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, that's not true. If you mean nableezy, that was just their opinion as they are not an admin. I am and have reviewed the report and found that you did not violate WP:3RR. However, you came perilously close, and you should understand that you can be blocked for edit warring even if you do not violate 3RR. I chose not to do so, but you need to be more careful in the future. What you should be doing is discussing changes on the article talk page and NOT battling in the article without a clear consensus for your changes. If you insist on your changes again, as you did here, you risk being blocked now that you are clearly on notice.--Bbb23 (talk) 01:12, 15 May 2013 (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. — Preceding unsigned comment added by IranitGreenberg (talkcontribs) 13:07, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

Hi, Soltsa90,

I just wanted to tell that if by any chance you are the IP who now edits in Two Hundred Years Together, you should stop using this IP immediately, or you might be blocked per WP:SOCK. I am not telling this is you; I do not really know and have no intention to investigate. I'd like you to contribute here as much as you possibly can; hence this friendly notice. Happy editing, My very best wishes (talk) 00:00, 25 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

How can I stop using my IP? I haven't edited that article but once I don't think. Solntsa90 (talk) 00:05, 25 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Is there any indication that vandalism or some such is coming from my IP or account? please let me know.Solntsa90 (talk) 00:07, 25 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I mean that you should only use your named account (this one). You should not edit as an IP, in parallel with your named account (assuming this IP is you; I do not really know). No, I am not telling about any vandalism; the problem would be simply using multiple accounts to make reverts (if there is such problem), and the IP would count as a second account. But whatever. You are very welcome to ignore what I am telling; this is only to inform you about the WP:SOCK policy. If you follow the policy, there is nothing to worry about. My very best wishes (talk) 00:20, 25 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Just to clarify, if this IP was you, that, for example, would qualify as edit warring using multiple accounts and be a valid reason for your block. What exactly you edit does not matter. Rules are rules. My very best wishes (talk) 21:03, 25 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sureños

Hello, I see by your recent edit summaries to this article that you are bothered as I am by the association of Juggalos as an "Ally" at the infobox for the Sureños article, and that you have reviewed the source in question & come to a similar conclusion as to how tenuous another editor's interpretation is. I invite you to comment on this at the talk page in the interest of building consensus. Thanks! Boogerpatrol (talk) 11:27, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop adding unreferenced or poorly referenced biographical content, especially if controversial, to articles or any other Wikipedia page, as you did at Arseniy Yatsenyuk‎. Content of this nature could be regarded as defamatory and is in violation of Wikipedia policy. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Please refrain from adding potentially libelous material as per WP:BLP policy. Content that is libelous may be removed immediately, use the talk page to prove your claims first before adding anything. Thank you. Львівське (говорити) 20:17, 30 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion

Information icon 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. --Львівське (говорити) 22:10, 30 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Edit warring at Arseniy Yatsenyuk

Stop icon with clock
You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for edit warring, as you did at Arseniy Yatsenyuk. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.

The full report of this case is at this 3RR report (permanent link). I'm also leaving you a notice (below) of the discretionary sanctions under WP:ARBEE. EdJohnston (talk) 01:36, 31 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Articles of interest to you are covered by sanctions under Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Eastern Europe

The Arbitration Committee has permitted administrators to impose discretionary sanctions (information on which is at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions) on any editor who is active on pages broadly related to Eastern Europe. Discretionary sanctions can be used against an editor who repeatedly or seriously fails to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, satisfy any standard of behavior, or follow any normal editorial process. If you inappropriately edit pages relating to this topic, you may be placed under sanctions, which can include blocks, a revert limitation, or an article ban. The Committee's full decision can be read at the "Final decision" section of the decision page.

Please familiarise yourself with the information page at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions, with the appropriate sections of Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Procedures, and with the case decision page before making any further edits to the pages in question. This notice is given by an uninvolved administrator and will be logged on the case decision, pursuant to the conditions of the Arbitration Committee's discretionary sanctions system.

EdJohnston (talk) 01:39, 31 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I don't quite understand. Is this a message saying that I am currently under discretionary sanctions, or a warning that they could be imposed? it says "can be" and "if", so I'm not exactly clear.

Solntsa90 (talk) 02:13, 31 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Admins have the power to impose topic bans and do other things in Eastern Europe. Nobody can be sanctioned under these special provisions unless they previously notified of the rules, and now you've been notified. If you read the WP:ARBEE decision it will tell you about the past problems that have motivated these provisions. EdJohnston (talk) 02:22, 31 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Rel Arseniy Yatsenyuk Jewish ethnicity

Hi fellow editor Solntsa90, Thanks for your edits and your remarks on my talk page. You raise valid points and compromise is definitely called for here. If it were only you and I debating this, I think we could work it out along the lines of what you're saying. However, since many others have expressed interest in this subject, let's move it to the talk page. Paavo273 (talk) 17:04, 1 April 2014 (UTC) Hi again User:Solntsa90: Since you asked me specific questions on my talk page that I thought were altogether reasonable, I answered them there.

Warning icon Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia, as you did at Right Sector, you may be blocked from editing. Please refrain from further edit warring as you are doing here or else you may be blocked again. Львівське (говорити) 23:14, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion

Information icon 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.

Arbitration enforcement sanction on Arseniy Yatsenyuk

The following sanction now applies to you:

You are restricted to making one revert in any 48 hour period on the article Arseniy Yatsenyuk (including the talk page and any subpages), this restriction expires at 12:00, 2 May 2014 (UTC)

You have been sanctioned due to continued edit warring on the article after having already been recently blocked for edit warring on the article (see also this report on the edit warring noticeboard). The only reason I am imposing this sanction rather than a block or ban is because you are attempting to engage in good faith dispute resolution, and I encourage you to continue to do so.

This sanction is imposed in my capacity as an uninvolved administrator under the authority of the Arbitration Committee's decision at Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Eastern Europe#Final decision and, if applicable, the procedure described at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions. This sanction has been recorded in the log of sanctions for that decision. If the sanction includes a ban, please read the banning policy to ensure you understand what this means. If you do not comply with this sanction, you may be blocked for an extended period, by way of enforcement of this sanction—and you may also be made subject to further sanctions.

You may appeal this sanction using the process described here. I recommend that you use the arbitration enforcement appeals template if you wish to submit an appeal to the enforcement noticeboard. You may also appeal directly to me (on my talk page), before or instead of appealing to the noticeboard. Even if you appeal this sanction, you remain bound by it until you are notified by an uninvolved administrator that the appeal has been successful. You are also free to contact me on my talk page if anything of the above is unclear to you. Callanecc (talkcontribslogs) 09:16, 2 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A word of advice - you have to take this restriction very seriously, and abide by it exactly. If you want advice, just leave a message on my talk page.--Toddy1 (talk) 20:12, 2 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Blanking at Michelle Kosilek

Please do not blank sourced material from Wikipedia, as you did at Michelle Kosilek. Thank you. Just Tidying Up (talk) 13:52, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Kosilek is not legally married, this detail of re-marriage cannot be confirmed, and it's not really a pertinent detail that is especially noteworthy to Kosilek's overall biography.
If you can provide a second source confirming Kosilek's marriage to 'Jessica' (the source is so incomplete, 'Jessica' doesn't even have a surname!), then I will reincorporate it back into the article. Solntsa90 (talk) 19:33, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
EDIT: It has come to my attention that you're the primary contributor as well as the original author of the Kosilek article. You wouldn't happen to have a conflict of interest here, would you? I ask you in all sincerity. Solntsa90 (talk) 19:34, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I am not "the original author" and I have no connection to the article subject beyond occasionally seeing articles in the news, same as any other person. I expanded the article because the article as it stood was not notable (there are thousands of murders, this one is sensational because of the "ooh it's a man in a dress" aspect). What actually makes this article notable is the legality of transgender health care for prisoners and the possible precedents this case sets. This was not very well described in the previous stub version.
Again, your personal definition of "marriage" as a legal union is not held by everyone, there were marriages long before there was a United States government to recognize them. The source is incomplete but this could be amended by changing the tone with regards to who made the statement. Just Tidying Up (talk) 22:31, 10 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You're making this way too personal, and I could care less about the details of the case: What I care about is the quality of the article and its factuality; Kosilek never married 'Jessica' (in quotations because we have no proof this person even exists!), and we're going by definitions that everyone can abide by, not by arbitrary definitions of marriage: No legal, religious nor cultural authority recognises nor sanctions a marriage between Kosilek and Jessica (who may not even exist), this isn't just about the US government.

The source isn't 'incomplete', its unverifiable and thus renders it WP:SELFPUB. Solntsa90 (talk) 03:52, 11 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunate terminological whitewashing on "Leon Klinghoffer"

The word "execution" mainly means a sentence carried out upon a person who has been convicted at a trial of a criminal offense, and therefore its use is completely inappropriate in this context. And throwing a man in a wheelchair over the side of a boat is a pure terrorist tactic, and nothing else. Some of your edits to the article might have merit individually, but as a group they are unfortunately overall unacceptable. AnonMoos (talk) 17:26, 27 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

'Execution' means exactly what it means in this context. They condemned him for being a Jew. however, "Palestinian Terrorists" is truly a POV term, and I'll be working to get such a term on wikipedia as unacceptable, for where do you draw the line? when does 'atrocity' become 'terrorism'? Solntsa90 (talk) 18:10, 27 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Unfortunately for you, your first two sentences above are completely ridiculous and preposterous -- no trial under any recognized legal system took place, and being a Jew was not a crime even in Nazi Germany! "Terrorists" can be a controversial term when applied to indiscriminately and sweepingly condemn large diverse groupings with a checkered history extending over many decades -- but when applied to a small group like the Achille Lauro hijackers, a functional definition of "terrorist" (i.e. those who unblushingly commit despicable acts for the purpose of terrorizing) is much less controversial. "Terrorism is as terrorism does"... AnonMoos (talk) 20:16, 27 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

When Sicarios in Mexico kill people, don't we use the term "executed"? I doubt many of them got a fair trial before being bludgeoned to death with a bat or beheaded. Solntsa90 (talk) 20:19, 27 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No, I don't believe that's the most common or typical usage. Journalists sometimes speak of "execution-style slayings", but that means a single bullet to the head by organized crime or death squads... AnonMoos (talk) 16:01, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm very sorry. I was attempting to revert a user earlier who was going from page to page inappropriately adding country names where he knows he shouldn't have been. My apologies! Solntsa90 (talk) 05:00, 7 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I noticed you have been a voice of reason on several issues regarding Israel. I was wondering if you would be willing to comment on Talk:Israel#NPOV_has_been_removed_from_this_article, specifically on the possible inclusion of both the view that Israel may not be representational democracy as well as the view that Israel is a representational democracy. Gouncbeatduke (talk) 18:42, 11 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have left as message for you on the talk page of that article regarding your recent edits to it. Please read it. Asarelah (talk) 18:58, 17 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I will almost certainly edit the article again, as it it not satisfactory the way it stands and highly infers that all people who follow the cult are antisemitic. However, I will be seeking others involved in the religion wikiproject to weigh in on it, since I know that many here on Wiki push political bias and try to say removal of said political bias are not 'NPOV'.

But, to reiterate, I will wait until other users have commented on the talk page, or at least, have the talk page discussion lead to a satisfactory conclusion.

Solntsa90 (talk) 01:44, 18 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Daily Dot

As stated in my edit summary, previous discussions on the RSN have determined that The Daily Dot has acceptable editorial controls, fact-checking standards and an identifiable staff, and that it thus meets our standards as a reliable source. If you disagree with this prior determination, the thing to do would be to open a new discussion on that page, not to engage in a revert-war. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 06:14, 25 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This was not an arbitration, but rather, merely a discussion on a wiki notice board. Merely getting the assurance of a company head that said company does not practice shoddy journalism is not a guarantee whatsoever.

Unless wiki arbitrates that The Daily Dot is an acceptable source to be used in articles, It'll continue to be disqualified from RS under the guideline of primarily publishing internet rumours.

If you can get a bunch of wikipedians/admins to arbitrate on the acceptability of The Daily Dot and a vote goes in favour of The Daily Dot, I'll drop it.

But I reiterate: The Daily Dot fails to meet the basic requirements for RS at wikipedia, primarily due to the fact they rely extensively on internet rumours to substantiate their claims.

Solntsa90 (talk) 18:04, 28 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The Arbitration Committee is not involved in determining what is and is not a reliable source. Community consensus and discussion are. Your personal opinion about The Daily Dot is interesting, but not supported by any sources nor is it supported by policy or consensus. Existing consensus says The Daily Dot is a reliable source and until and unless that changes, your removals are out of order. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 18:07, 28 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No, the Daily Dot violates basic WP:RS. it isn't a matter for community discussion, as it violates basic wiki rules. Solntsa90 (talk) 18:08, 28 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I highly suggest you read this: WP:QUESTIONABLE Solntsa90 (talk) 18:09, 28 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please point to a community consensus discussion which determines that The Daily Dot is a "questionable" source, or that it "violates basic wiki rules." I have already linked you to a discussion which determines that The Daily Dot is an acceptable reliable source. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 18:11, 28 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'll do you one better and link you to the rules (Might I remind you that wikipedia is not a democracy?):

Questionable sources are those with a poor reputation for checking the facts, or with no editorial oversight. Such sources include websites and publications expressing views that are widely acknowledged as extremist, that are promotional in nature, or which rely heavily on rumors and personal opinions. Questionable sources are generally unsuitable for citing contentious claims about third parties, which includes claims against institutions, persons living or dead, as well as more ill-defined entities

That is from WP:QUESTIONABLE. Hope that clarifies things. Solntsa90 (talk) 18:13, 28 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your personal opinion that the source is questionable is apparent. What is not apparent is any community determination that the source is questionable. To the contrary, the community has determined it to be acceptable. Your personal opinion about the source cannot override community consensus. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 18:16, 28 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The community didn't determine this--in fact, even within the link you gave me, there were reservations about including the Daily Dot as a source. Those discussions are non-binding, and they do not supercede basic rules about WP:RS, which includes no sourcing from websites that publish internet rumours--The Daily Dot is a publisher of internet rumours, has yet to be substantiated aside from a vague and non-binding discussion (with reservations from some participants) about the acceptability of this website.

Sorry, I'll stick with WP:QUESTIONABLE and WP:NOTDEMOCRACY since those are actually rules. Solntsa90 (talk) 18:20, 28 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Then you're likely to be sanctioned for edit-warring against community consensus if you try it again after the article's unprotected. Don't say nobody warned you. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 18:22, 28 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'll take my chances that The Daily Dot violates wiki rules, since I'm quite certain that it does. It is merely my opinion, I suppose--but then again, it is my opinion that the sky is blue as well...Solntsa90 (talk) 18:26, 28 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Gamergate controversy notification

Please read this notification carefully:
A community discussion has authorised the use of general sanctions for pages related to the Gamergate controversy.
The details of these sanctions are 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.

December 2014

Information icon Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors according to your reverts at Depression Quest. Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. While edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you.

Well if you don't want an edit war, I highly suggest you read this from WP:QUESTIONABLE:

Questionable sources are those with a poor reputation for checking the facts, or with no editorial oversight. Such sources include websites and publications expressing views that are widely acknowledged as extremist, that are promotional in nature, or which rely heavily on rumors and personal opinions. Questionable sources are generally unsuitable for citing contentious claims about third parties, which includes claims against institutions, persons living or dead, as well as more ill-defined entities

The Daily Dot itself admits it is a mill of internet gossip. Solntsa90 (talk) 18:12, 28 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Rodina

I thought that the sources you added to the article on Rodina were useful - but please note that the same objection can be brought to them that you have to the Snyder piece. Whether a political party's position is right-wing or nationalist is not really a fact - it is an opinion. I think opinion pieces like the ones you cited (and also Snyder) are fine for that purpose.-- Toddy1 (talk) 06:49, 31 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your edits at Leo Frank

Do you really not understand why saying someone is a "convicted murderer" is different from saying that they were convicted of murder? Here is the first sentence of the article, the first boldface is what you added and the second boldface is language that was ALREADY in the article:

Leo Max Frank (April 17, 1884 – August 17, 1915) was a Jewish-American factory superintendent and convicted murderer[1][2]whose widely publicized and controversial murder trial and conviction in 1913, appeals and extrajudicial hanging in 1915 by a lynch mob planned and led by prominent citizens in Marietta, Georgia, drew attention to questions of antisemitism in the United States.

Since the sentence already contains the phrase "murder trial and conviction", isn't your redundant accusation unnecessary and overkill? You added sources, but the sources do not use the phrase "convicted murderer -- instead they refer to Frank as someone who was convicted of murder.

You also deleted this without ANY EXPLANATION:

Jim Conley is now believed by some historians to be the real murderer. [3]

I had started a discussion of this but you did not participate. Why did you delete this information? Why are you trying to eliminate from the article lead well sourced material questioning Frank's guilt -- especially since such doubts reflect the historical consensus. Tom (North Shoreman) (talk) 13:15, 29 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

References

The references you're pushing have their own agenda, and would not pass Wikipedia's measures for scrutiny. With that said, Leo Frank is a convicted murderer as he was found guilty of the murder of Mary Phagan in a court of his peers.

Furthermore, there is hardly a consensus that 'Jim Conley was the real murderer'. That is utter rubbish, nothing more need to be said about it. Solntsa90 (talk) 22:26, 29 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"State media"

I'm sorry. The connotation of "state media" is that the state controls the publication of all media. It becomes a propaganda tool for the governing party. That has never been the case with the CBC, I find the term offensive. If you can find sources to support this change, I'll back down, but it's a crown corporation, not state media. Walter Görlitz (talk) 06:04, 31 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Question

Hi, per your deletions of the location "Israel" from articles like Nachlaot, Sha'arei Yerushalayim, and Mahane Yehuda Market, what international law are you citing that western Jerusalem is not in Israel? I'm under the impression that only areas over the Green Line, such as Ramot, Sanhedria, and Pisgat Ze'ev are not considered "Israel" by international law. Yoninah (talk) 10:00, 1 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Jerusalem is not considered as part of Israel (or Palestine) by any international authority, body of law, or group; It is completely an international city.

1RR Violation

This edit of yours - [2] violates the 1RR restriction on all articles related to the Arab -Israeli conflict. Revert it or I will report you . All Rows4 (talk) 21:36, 1 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nope. I'm merely reverting your mass-vandalism of all articles related to Jerusalem, It doesn't violate the 1RR restriction; It's not my fault you refuse to read Wikipedia's arbitration on the status of Jerusalem (let alone international law):

Clear vandalism of whatever origin may be reverted without restriction. Reverts of edits made by anonymous (IP) editors that are not vandalism are exempt from the 1RR but are subject to the usual rules on edit warring.

Request reason:

The edits I made were good-faith reverts of vandalism made in bad faith in an attempt to influence wikipedia (all of the users' previous wikipedia edits relate to Israel/Palestine issues or the Holocaust) in a certain way despite arbitration and rules on the matter. I don't think I should be blocked, as I was merely reverting the vandalism on those pages relating to Jerusalem. Solntsa90 (talk) 02:17, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

The imposition of restrictions such as WP:1RR is quite specifically to prevent edits such as those you have been making. Content disagreements are not vandalism and are quite subject to 1RR. --jpgordon::==( o ) 03:23, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Jerusalem in Israel

Hi - I saw your edit summary on a bunch of articles that "As per wiki arbitration (as well as international law), the opinion that Jerusalem is in Israel is on the fringe." I'm trying to find the arbcomm decision but I'm having trouble finding it. This is admittedly my first time really looking at arbcom so it may be just my lack of familiarity which is preventing me from finding it. Can you help me out by pointing me to the decision? I'd like to read it. Thanks --Bachrach44 (talk) 01:26, 4 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Rosser, Brandon, Slaton and Phillips

In May of 1913, the Governor-elect John M. Slaton's lawfirm of 'Slaton and Phillips' (Highly respected Jewish-American Benjamin Z. Phillips) joined Luther Rosser's Lawfirm of 'Rosser and Brandon' (Morris Brandon), all together creating the law group of 'Rosser, Brandon, Slaton and Phillips' which represented Leo Frank during his murder trial (July 28 - August 21, 1913). Wondering if you knew of any secondary sources to support this claim and if you had any comments on how this could be incorporated into the main Leo Frank article and lead. I found supporting evidence for these lawfirms merging in Steve Oney's book, Mary Phagan Kean's book, and a scholarly paper written by Tom Watson Brown. Do you know of other sources? Would like your commentary and thoughts either pro or against an inclusion of this fact on the Leo Frank talk page. GingerBreadHarlot (talk) 03:37, 23 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Salt Lake City a holy city?

Just curious, what was your rational for this edit [3]? As someone who has spent a considerable amount of time in the state of Utah, I've never heard SLC referred to as a holy city, even by Mormons. I understand that reading the article Holy city, SLC meets most of those criteria, but I've just never heard of it referred to as such. Dave (talk) 05:01, 7 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Various books I've read over the years, but the only immediately accessible internet resource I can find to ascertain this claim is this BBC link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/religions/mormon/history/pioneers_1.shtml

The Mormons saw Salt Lake City as their holy city: Brigham Young called it a "Kingdom of Heaven on Earth".

Fair enough, It's been two days since the addition and nobody has objected, and I'm the only one who asked about it, so it appears it will be a permanent addition to the article. Cheers and happy editing, Dave (talk) 00:35, 10 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Edit Warring

Stop icon

Your recent editing history at Leopoldo López shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
Your edits are not improving the page. Its not about you adding in sourced content. Its that in that same edit you are removing sourced content. DaltonCastle (talk) 02:51, 10 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not removing any sourced content. Have you read the sources? The "92% approval rating" came from The Harvard Alumni association in a personal letter of congratulations; One of the sources on his human rights record was written by an undergrad student at Penn State University. The sources are obviously extremely compromised, and you respond by removing this well-cited passage (from NPR, LA Times, and Foreign Policy Magazine, no doubt)

López played a leading role in the 2002 Venezuelan coup d'état attempt against President Hugo Chávez, where as mayor of Chacao, the wealthiest district in Caracas, he lead protests and conducted civil disorder to the level of which NPR states "culminated in an attempted coup against Chávez in 2002[1], and even personally detained the Minister of Interior and Justice Ramón Rodríguez Chacín during the events of the failed coup attempt.[2][3]

Why did you remove the cite needed tags here? I'd say it's kind of important to have a source about Stop the War issues with Make Poverty History. Also it is a dead link. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 20:23, 22 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Just a heads up

When you mention anyone at WP:AN even if it is done as "this user" with a link you have to leave a notice on the editor's talk page. It may seem like no big deal but it can, and will come to bite you in the bottom if you don't. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 20:57, 22 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

ANI

Information icon There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.

Suggestion

Please be careful when you throw the words "slander" and "libel" around as you did here. Use of those words treads very close to the edge of a legal threat, which is violates the no legal threats policy. Violation of this policy can result in an immediate indefinite block. It is wise to avoid any ambiguity when it comes to legal language, generally by not using such terms that can be misinterpreted or make it clear that you are not the source of said potential legal action. Reading through your comment leads me to the conclusion that you would not be the source of any legal, but perhaps you may want to clarify this point. Blackmane (talk) 03:07, 19 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

In my judgment as an uninvolved administrator, you have fallen below the expected standards for editor behavior on a page and talk page covered by discretionary sanctions (in this case, Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Eastern Europe). You were warned about this earlier by EdJohnston; the warning is still on this page. You are hereby topic banned for six months from the article RT (TV network) and its talk page. For appeals, please see Wikipedia:Arbitration_Committee/Discretionary_sanctions#Appeals_and_modifications. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 17:23, 19 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
