From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, club, organization, company, or website, I have blocked this account. Please take a moment to either create a new account, or request a change of username of your current account here. The new username must represent only yourself as an individual and comply with Wikipedia's username policy.

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

Please also note that you are permitted to use a username that contains the name of a company or organization if it identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87", but not "SEO Manager at XYZ Company".

If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page.

You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text

{{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}

at the bottom of your talk page. Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names.

 Thank you. Alexf(talk) 10:16, 11 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The Harry S. Truman Research Institute for the Advancement of Peace, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

The article has been assessed as B-Class, which is recorded on its talk page. This is a fantastic rating for a new article, and places it among the top 3% of accepted submissions — major kudos to you! You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.

Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for creation if you prefer.

If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk. Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to create articles yourself without posting a request to Articles for creation.

If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider leaving us some feedback.

Thanks again, and happy editing!

Hi @Aliza at Truman: I have accepted this article, but it still needs more done to it. Can I ask you to change the reference form in the footnotes to use the cite web or cite news templates? You would do that by clicking on the "insert a template" icon at the top of the edit box and entering the details. This will give a much clearer impression of what you are citing. Also, there is something wrong with footnote 30 - I presume you have cut and pasted Hebrew text in a font that the program doesn't recognize. Although I myself feel the article is well enough sourced to justify passing an AfC review, it would be vulnerable to a hostile deletion challenge if somebody doesn't like it. To protect against that, you would do well to find a couple of references to reports in English-language newspapers that give the Institute significant coverage. Good luck. --Doric Loon (talk) 08:26, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
