Jewish-American

Commingling religion or ethnicity with nationality is generally frowned upon in article leads. Wikipedia typically specifies nationality in the lede, and for a lot of reasons, avoids immediately characterizing ethnicity and religion right up front, especially when the subject is of a dubious or controversial nature. It is appropriate to mention ethnicity or religion if it is a major component of their character, but farther down in the body of the article. We have had a number of editors who are insistent on tagging Jewish biographiesfor reasons unrelated to biographical verisimilitude. Please stop tagging articles this way.

Alright I do understand that. The idea behind it is that many readers do not bother to dwell further into the article, so writing specific facts at the head will give the reader a better understanding. Again, my apologies. InBoxed (talk) 16:21, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent editing history at Doo-wop shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the 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 the bold, revert, discuss cycle 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 you 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 edit was reverted because you removed the footnoted source and added material that was not sourced. Yes I recognize that he was from a Jewish family, but that and all facts need to be stated in the sourcing. Coretheapple (talk) 15:49, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
