Thanks for the comment and your work on here. Not everything on that template applies to every user in my opinion. My main thing is getting in a groove where you feel comfortable in your contributions. Not everything has to be black or white in that regard (but that depends on you ask...) Hope this finds you well and happy editing! Red Director (talk) 02:40, 20 May 2018 (UTC)

An extended welcome

Hi Newmila. Welcome to Wikipedia. I hope you don't mind if I share some of my thoughts on starting out as a new editor on Wikipedia: If I could get editors in your situation to follow just one piece of advice, it would be this: Learn Wikipedia by working only on non-contentious topics until you have a feel for the normal editing process and the policies that usually come up when editing casually. You'll find editing to be fun, easy, and rewarding. The rare disputes are resolved quickly and easily.

Working on biographical information about living persons is far more difficult. Wikipedia's Biographies of living persons policy requires strict adherence to multiple content policies, and applies to all information about living persons including talk pages.

If you have a relationship with the topics you want to edit, then you will need to review Wikipedia's Conflict of interest policy, which may require you to disclose your relationship and restrict your editing depending upon how you are affiliated with the subject matter.

Some topic areas within Wikipedia have special editing restrictions that apply to all editors. It's best to avoid these topics until you are extremely familiar with all relevant policies and guidelines.

I hope you find some useful information in all this, and welcome again. --Ronz (talk) 17:04, 10 October 2018 (UTC)

Hi Ronz. Would you like to be more transparent about what you're actually talking about? I'm not clear on what your issue is. Thanks.

It's my attempt to nudge you to paying a bit more attention to Wikipedia's policies and provide some proactive direction on types of editing you might want to avoid while you're still learning your way around Wikipedia. --Ronz (talk) 22:21, 10 October 2018 (UTC)

Opportunity for collaboration

Dear Newmila,

Just saw your post. I appreciate the support! By the way, do you have any hebrew language skills? For the proposed overhaul I am looking to have hebrew texts in footnotes. Transcribing them will take some time.

Blessings,

Yaakov W. Yaakov Wa. (talk) 02:36, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi Yaakov - I'm not fluent but I can read Hebrew and Yiddish and with the help of a dictionary might be able to assist. I can't evaluate complex texts to validate a citation (for example) unfortunately. newmila (talk) 14:42, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

Dear Newmila,

I really appreciate your edits to Messiah in Judaism. You do a great job of making the language a lot smoother! In regards to collaboration. In the future, I would like to add hebrew text and translation in footnotes. This is a extensive undertaking and I believe you have the ability to contribute. Please contact me by email in order to collaborate more efficiently. My email is [redacted].

Blessings,

Yaakov W. Yaakov Wa. (talk) 21:05, 28 February 2021 (UTC)

Discretionary sanctions for the Arab-Israeli dispute area

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in the Arab–Israeli conflict. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Doug Weller talk 16:02, 13 January 2022 (UTC)

You must follow these page-specific restrictions until you have 500 edits and have been here 30 days

For the purposes of editing restrictions in the ARBPIA topic area, the "area of conflict" shall be defined as encompassing

1. the entire set of articles whose topic relates to the Arab-Israeli conflict, broadly interpreted ("primary articles"), and
2. edits relating to the Arab-Israeli conflict, to pages and discussions in all namespaces with the exception of userspace ("related content")

Also,

500/30 Rule: All IP editors, users with fewer than 500 edits, and users with less than 30 days' tenure are prohibited from editing content within the area of conflict. On primary articles, this prohibition is preferably to be enforced by use of extended confirmed protection (ECP) but this is not mandatory. On pages with related content, or on primary articles where ECP is not feasible, the 500/30 Rule may be enforced by other methods, including page protection, reverts, blocks, the use of pending changes, and appropriate edit filters. Reverts made solely to enforce the 500/30 Rule are not considered edit warring.

The sole exceptions to this prohibition are:

1. Editors who are not eligible to be extended-confirmed may use the Talk: namespace to post constructive comments and make edit requests related to articles within the topic area, provided they are not disruptive. Talk pages where disruption occurs may be managed by any of the methods noted in paragraph b). This exception does not apply to other internal project discussions such as AfDs, WikiProjects, RfCs, noticeboard discussions, etc.

2. Editors who are not eligible to be extended-confirmed may not create new articles, but administrators may exercise discretion when deciding how to enforce this remedy on article creations. Deletion of new articles created by editors who do not meet the criteria is permitted but not required. Doug Weller talk 16:02, 13 January 2022 (UTC) 3. One Revert Restriction (1RR): Each editor is limited to one revert per page per 24 hours on any edits made to content within the area of conflict. Reverts made to enforce the 500/30 Rule are exempt from the provisions of this motion. Also, the normal exemptions apply. Editors who violate this restriction may be blocked by any uninvolved administrator.

Note that this means your edits on such pages (which you aren't yet eligible to make) may be reverted by anyone at any time. These restrictions are stricter than those in most other areas because of the problems that we've had in this area. Doug Weller talk 16:02, 13 January 2022 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for August 5

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Semitic neopaganism, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Cohen. 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) 09:21, 5 August 2022 (UTC)

Thanks, DPL Bot! I'll fix this as soon as a I get a chance :) newmila (talk) 12:33, 5 August 2022 (UTC)

Wikiversity's WikiJournal of the Humanities needs your help!

Hi Khane!

I'm the editor-in-chief of the WikiJournal of the Humanities.

Given your experience with Wikipedia and understanding of academia, I'm emailing to ask whether you might be interested in getting involved as an editor for the WikiJournal of Humanities. It's modelled on the successful Wikipedia-integrated journals, the WikiJournal of Medicine, and the WikiJournal of Science. Our editorial board covers a range of fields and expertise, aiming to cover disciplines across the humanities, arts, and social sciences.

Our approach combines the rigour of academic peer review with the extensive reach of an encyclopedia. Consequently, it is an excellent way to achieve public engagement and outreach while impacting public understanding of complex scholarly topics. Articles undergo peer review and are subsequently published in both standard academic PDF format and directly onto Wikipedia, often getting over 100,000 views annually. This enhances the encyclopedia's scientific and factual accuracy and offers academics citable, indexed publications. Moreover, it enables significantly broader dissemination compared to traditional scholarly publishing methods.

The time commitment is flexible. An editor would generally dedicate 2-10 hours per month to a range of activities.

Please let me know if this aligns with your interests, or if you'd like to know more.

Your experience and expertise would be highly appreciated. Fransplace... Let's talk 23:11, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

Hi Fransplace – apologies for my very late response, let me know if this opportunity is still available. I would be interested to know more about how I might help as an editor. Khane Rokhl Barazani (talk) 14:18, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
