Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions, including your edits to Rahm Emanuel. However, please be aware of Wikipedia's policy that biographical information about living persons must not be libelous. Any controversial statements about a living person added to an article, or any other Wikipedia page, must include proper sources.

Hi and some suggested reading

Hi there, I'd like to welcome you to Wikipedia. It's always nice to have a new editor along. I see that your interests include one of the more prickly areas on Wikipedia, the Israel-Palestine conflict. You might be interested in looking at WP:IPCOLL and its talk page. This is an attempt to try and reduce the amount of out of control WP:Edit warring around this area. If you look at Talk:Irgun you'll see that there is already an ongoing debate on evidencing that Irgun was terrorist as some people prefere to portray it as a liberation group. Key Wikipedia policies in this area include WP:NPOV WP:V and WP:RS. The previous poster here has already drawn your attention to WP:BLP and I've linked edit-warring. It's all too easy for new editors to get carried away when they see someone making biased edits and the new editors often find themselves WP:blocked. (Experienced editors also get blocked but they know what they're gettign themselves into.) If you use the article talk pages, and reference academic articles and the mainstream press, then you should be okay. Please feel free to ask questions on my talk page.--Peter cohen (talk) 10:49, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Wikipedia about living persons, as you did to Marisa Tomei. Thank you. brew crewer (yada, yada) 18:29, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not vandalize pages, as you did with this edit to Rahm Emanuel. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing. WadeSimMiser (talk) 18:55, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

WP:Lebanon

Hi. I'm sorry to see you were blocked. I don't think that you've been treated entirely fairly and if you look at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Lebanon you'll see that I've started a thread to try to get other people's opinions. The discussion contains a certain amount of Wikipedia jargon, feel free to ask here or on my talk page if you want it explained. But what's just struck me is that you might be interested in joining that project as it has people with similar interests to you.--Peter cohen (talk) 10:34, 28 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rahm Emanuel

This issue has been discussed to death on the talk page. Please leave the consensus wording.--chaser - t 19:04, 29 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A discussion of your editing habits is going on

here. We would love your input. --brew crewer (yada, yada) 02:07, 30 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

YYouhanna - I would have come to your defense since I know how that the project leans heavily to a western perspective and need more input from the likes of yourself. However, I'm not sure it's worth my time. It is essential that you discuss edits if they're contested - or even earlier, providing references etc in the edit summary. Editors such as myself can often help you get things to stick - or warn you when you're wasting your time. PalestineRemembered^talk 13:12, 3 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Adolf Hitler

The vast majority of historians seem to have reached credible consensus that the number of victims of the Holocaust was six million, not six thousand; however, if you wish to fly in the face of that consensus, you would indeed need extremely strong evidence to countermand it. My experience is that whilst many revisionist historians have attempted this re-interpretation of the available evidence, not one has succeeded. Your own evidence, if any, is original research and unacceptable as a source here. So all in all, the bottom line is that you should provide credible sources to justify your edit, or forget it, because historiography is firmly against you on that point. --Rodhull andemu 01:14, 14 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your edit to Starchild skull

I reverted your edit which completely misstated the source used. You've been here long enough; you should know better than this. I beg you to seriously reconsider your editing approach here. If you continue like this you will most likely end up blocked indefinitely. Aunt Entropy (talk) 02:30, 6 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
