Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

edit

  Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Funding of Hezbollah into Hezbollah-Iran relations. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 14:11, 22 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

 

Also, please don't add copyright material copied from other websites to Wikipedia. Everything you contribute needs to be written in your own words please. — Diannaa (talk) 20:55, 22 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Deletion discussion about Gan Kofim

edit

Hello האופה, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

While your contributions are appreciated, I wanted to let you know that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, Gan Kofim, should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gan Kofim.

Deletion discussions usually run for seven days and are not votes. Our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. The most common issue in these discussions is notability, but it's not the only aspect that may be discussed; read the nomination and any other comments carefully before you contribute to the discussion. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|North8000}}. And don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

Introduction to contentious topics

edit

You have recently edited a page related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

  • adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
  • comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
  • follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
  • comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
  • refrain from gaming the system.

Additionally, you must be logged-in, have 500 edits and an account age of 30 days, and are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on a page within this topic.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

Your edits are showing biasesness to Israel. Why you removed the line “ itself an Iranian retaliation for the killing of senior officers in an Israeli airstrike in Damascus.” Grabup (talk) 06:17, 19 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Grabup I didn't remove it, I moved it to the bottom part of the lead, I thought we should start by describing the event and then get into the backgroung. Please check again the same edit you shared here. HaOfa (talk) 06:22, 19 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Why you added this line? “unprecedented missile and drone strike by Iran on Israel” this line shows that you are totally biased to Israel, and you are from Israel as your name is in Hebrew. Grabup (talk) 06:27, 19 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Grabup I did not invent the use of "unprecedented" for this attack, I found it in reliable sources this morning. The Wall Street Journal article I used for my edits wrote today that: "Much remained unclear about the extent or impact of the Israeli action, meant as a response to an unprecedented direct attack by Iran on Saturday that involved more than 300 drones and missiles aimed at Israeli territory." The New York Times also says: "Iran's unprecedented attack on Israel." Is there any issue with my place of origin? Please withdraw your accusations, as they appear to be made in bad faith.

Radio stations

edit

Hi, I'm Sammi. I've seen that you and some other editors have been expanding our coverage of Israeli radio stations.

I made a change to Galey Israel by adopting a "Notable presenters" list, in line with many UK stations. These lists should only contain people with articles (I'd also take interlanguage links to other Wikipedias). I would advise getting a citation for each presenter you list (especially for WP:BLP reasons). I also added some things to the infobox that should have been there.

As an editor amply familiar with radio stations but not Israel topics, I'm available as a resource if you have questions. Sammi Brie (she/her • tc) 03:19, 28 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

I explained my reasons for removing the content. The text focuses on Israel and Zionism as settler colonialism, and I retained the section linking genocide accusations to this concept. On the other hand, you removed new content directly relevant to the topic, including criticism by renowned scholars, but the content needed balancing. I also tried to structure it in a more encyclopedic way: starting with an overview, moving on to the history of the claim, possible connection to genocide, and then summary of critcism. Can we work together to improve the article? Let's keep it collaborative :) HaOfa (talk) 11:28, 7 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of 2024 Haret Hreik airstrike

edit
 

The article 2024 Haret Hreik airstrike has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

WP:NOTNEWS, this is not an event which requires its own, independent article.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. — The Hand That Feeds You:Bite 22:48, 30 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Violation of 1rr

You have violated 1rr at Assassination of Ismail Haniyeh:

Please self-revert, or I will report you.VR (Please ping on reply) 13:07, 31 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Vice regent, hello friend, the first diff is not a revert. I just moved the content from section to section. Check yourself again, it's still on the article. HaOfa (talk) 13:16, 31 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
It is a revert of this edit.VR (Please ping on reply) 13:21, 31 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
How is that a revert? I haven't cancelled anything. The content you added is still on the article. I never removed it. The only revert is the 11:40 to Kashmiri. HaOfa (talk) 13:35, 31 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

To revert means to undo someone's edit. I don't see how they reverted the edit you say they did. O.maximov (talk) 13:42, 31 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
To revert is to undo the action of another editor, in whole or in part. Moving their comment from where they placed it to where you prefer it to be is obviously a revert and moving comments back and forth would constitute edit warring. M.Bitton (talk) 20:56, 31 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
This user has been engaging in multiple violation. Its time we report him. Astropulse (talk) 03:26, 1 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

You have now made a 3rd revert[2]. I moved the "analysis" section under reactions[3] and you moved it back into a subsection.VR (Please ping on reply) 13:38, 31 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

I see HaOfa already self-reverted themselves on this. I re-did their revert since. I think it was better this way. O.maximov (talk) 13:43, 31 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
That's a self-revert of a third revert. They still haven't self-reverted the 1R violation. M.Bitton (talk) 13:45, 31 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Which doesn't seem like 1R violation anyway O.maximov (talk) 13:53, 31 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
I wasn't asking. M.Bitton (talk) 13:54, 31 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Why? O.maximov (talk) 14:02, 31 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

It is not necessary to remove material for something to be a revert, moving a section from one place to another is also a revert because it undoes the work of another editor. It's not a particularly serious revert but it is still a revert and it would have been far better just to self revert than enter into this tedious argument here. Selfstudier (talk) 21:58, 31 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Noting the absence of any reply and the editor continuing to edit, @Vice regent:, do you wish to pursue this? Selfstudier (talk) 10:04, 1 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
I have no problem self reverting, I would like an admin's opinion on how the rule works. I'm pretty sure the first diff is not a revert, as I did not undid anything, just moved content in the article. If this is a revert, almost every article could be a revert... Therefore, I'm tagging @ScottishFinnishRadish. If I'm wrong, I'll of course self revert. HaOfa (talk) 12:33, 1 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Would restoring their edit constitute a revert? M.Bitton (talk) 12:35, 1 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Moving and shifting content is still a reversion for the purposes of edit warring. There have been plenty of edit wars over location of prose. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 12:47, 1 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
I will rv at once. Thanks for clarifying. HaOfa (talk) 14:12, 1 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Israel

edit

Please self-revert at Israel. What you restored is not the "last stable version," as claimed in your edit summary. What I restored was the "last stable version" before the ongoing RFC started, and I "proved" that with a permalink in the edit summary to the June 8 version. You restored to a later version, Special:Diff/1230554629, June 23, which was a change made during the RFC. Levivich (talk) 19:59, 10 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

When I said "the last stable version" I meant the first paragraph, with Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and so on, that were changed without discussions in the last two days. But, anyway, even if the 1948 framing you use was the last version before the RFC, it does not make it the last stable version. In fact, as far as I can remember, there was never consensus for adding Nakba to the lead... and per WP:ONUS, The responsibility for achieving consensus for inclusion is on those seeking to include disputed content. That's the very reason the RFC was started, because there was no consensus for inclusion of Nakba. So while I agree its better to use the last stable version before the debate surrounding Nakba started, it wasn't the version you used, since it was never stable. HaOfa (talk) 20:05, 10 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
I put it back to how it was when the RFC started. You re-instated a bold change made during the RFC. Either undo that, or I am going to report it at AE. If you think my version was not the right version and you want to go back to an earlier version as the "last stable version," that's fine with me, but re-instating the bold edit made during the RFC is not fine with me. Levivich (talk) 20:07, 10 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Levivich, In a few checks of versions from May 2024 I found that there was no mention not only of Nakba but also of the expulsion and flight at all. For example: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Israel&oldid=1223018652, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Israel&oldid=1220108864, so I am unsure which earlier version should be restored exactly. I'll be okay with various different options from the past as long as their don't include the disputed use of Nakba/ethnic cleansing, which is the very reason for the current RfC, so please feel free to restore whatever old version you find as long as it doesn't include the disputed terminology.

Anti Israel bias

This is currently not a huge issue because the discussion isn't primarily about you (anymore), but ignoring community input may quickly become disruptive.

1RR violation

@Makeandtoss: This edit is definitely not a revert of this edit, it's called copy-editing. HaOfa (talk) 14:25, 18 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
As the editor mentioned by @Makeandtoss regarding their edit being reverted, I can say that this is clearly not a revert, but a wording improvement. Makeandtoss, I think you should be a bit more careful when making such harsh allegations. OdNahlawi (talk) 14:49, 18 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
A reversion is defined as any edit that undoes another editor's actions. Pinging @ScottishFinnishRadish: to kindly clarify, considering they had recently similarly clarified above that a move is still a revert. Makeandtoss (talk) 10:10, 19 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
I don't see any undo, of any sort, with the first diff you presented. What I see is an editor changing the order of words in a sentence to make it more readable. ABHammad (talk) 08:42, 20 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

I do not see this as a revert of this.
Ma'ariv reported that during his time in prison, Sinwar enrolled in fifteen courses through the [[Open University of Israel]] over a span of seven years, beginning in 1995. Most were in history, covering topics such as the history of the Jews in the [[Second Temple period|Second Temple]] and [[Rabbinic period|Rabbinic periods]], the First Temple period, [[The Holocaust]], and [[Zionism]], along with a political science course on governance and Israeli democracy.

@ScottishFinnishRadish: Thanks for the clarification then, I will keep that in mind. Makeandtoss (talk) 14:12, 22 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
There's a whole lot of grey area involved. If, for instance, the attribution to Ma'ariv was removed, then I would likely see it as a revert. There's also not a whole lot of broader community input, see Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)#What is a revert? ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 14:15, 22 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
@ScottishFinnishRadish: Interesting discussion, I had the same thought process in my mind a while ago. On the other hand I remember reading an advice some many months ago, probably on AE, that a revert can be considered almost anything, so it is better to avoid the entire sentence all together, which has been standard practice by most editors as far as I have observed. Makeandtoss (talk) 14:31, 22 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
That is my general advice as well, but in this case we have all of the same information presented in very close to the same way. There was no shift of POV, attribution, or facts. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 14:33, 22 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
For interest, bearing in mind that I really have no idea what is or is not a revert, I regard a Maariv (newspaper)|Ma'ariv -> Ma'ariv transform as a revert, because it changes the reader's access to information related to the source and removes the only internal link to the relevant article. Sometimes this might matter. Sean.hoyland (talk) 18:15, 22 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Sean.hoyland: @ScottishFinnishRadish: In addition to what Sean mentioned, I personally believe a reordering of the structure of a sentence is a revert, but again, I am ready to accept whichever interpretation is most common and stick to it, by myself and everyone else. Makeandtoss (talk) 08:24, 25 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
If you want a broader array of admin input you can bring this to AE, but I think this case will firmly fall into the "not a revert" category. I may be incorrect, though. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 11:27, 25 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
@ScottishFinnishRadish: Thanks but is AE the right place; I am more interested in pursuing the general clarification of this point rather than a complaint against the user here? Makeandtoss (talk) 12:00, 25 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
That would be the discussion at VPP, but it doesn't seem to be drawing much participation. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 12:07, 25 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Arbitration motions regarding Palestine-Israel articles

edit

The Arbitration Committee has resolved by motion that:

Motion 1: Appeals only to ArbCom

When imposing a contentious topic restriction under the Arab-Israeli conflict contentious topic, an uninvolved administrator may require that appeals be heard only by the Arbitration Committee. In such cases, the committee will hear appeals at ARCA according to the community review standard. A rough consensus of arbitrators will be required to overturn or amend the sanction.

Motion 2b: Word limits

Uninvolved administrators may impose word limits on all participants in a discussion, or on individual editors across all discussions, within the area of conflict. These word limits are designated as part of the standard set of restrictions within the Arab-Israeli conflict contentious topic. These restrictions must be logged and may be appealed in the same way as all contentious topic restrictions.

Motion 2c: Word limits

All participants in formal discussions (RfCs, RMs, etc) within the area of conflict are urged to keep their comments concise, and are limited to 1,000 words per discussion. This motion will sunset two years from the date of its passage.

Motion 5: PIA5 Case

Following a request at WP:ARCA, the Arbitration Committee directs its clerks to open a case to examine the interaction of specific editors in the WP:PIA topic area. Subject to amendment by the drafting arbitrators, the following rules will govern the case:

  • The case title will be Palestine-Israel articles 5.
  • The initial parties will be:
  • Aoidh will be the initial drafter
  • The case will progress at the usual time table, unless additional parties are added or the complexity of the case warrants additional time for drafting a proposed decision, in which case the drafters may choose to extend the timeline.
  • All case pages are to be semi-protected.
  • Private evidence will be accepted. Any case submissions involving non-public information, including off-site accounts, should be directed to the Arbitration Committee by email to Arbcom-en wikimedia.org. Any links to the English Wikipedia submitted as part of private evidence will be aggregated and posted on the evidence page. Any private evidence that is used to support a proposal (a finding of fact or remedy) or is otherwise deemed relevant to the case will be provided to affected parties when possible (evidence of off-wiki harassment may not be shared). Affected parties will be given an opportunity to respond.
Addendum

In passing motion #5 to open a Palestine-Israel articles 5 case, the Committee has appointed three drafters: Aoidh, HJ Mitchell, and CaptainEek. The drafters have resolved that the case will open on November 30. The delay will allow the Committee time to resolve a related private matter, and allow for both outgoing and incoming Arbitrators to vote on the case. The drafters have changed the party list to the following individuals:

The drafters reserve the right to amend the list of parties if necessary. The drafters anticipate that the case will include a two week evidence phase, a one week workshop phase, and a two week proposed decision phase.

The related Arbitration enforcement referral: Nableezy et al request has been folded into this case. Evidence from the related private matter, as alluded to in the Covert canvassing and proxying in the Israel-Arab conflict topic area case request, will be examined prior to the start of the case, and resolved separately.

historic Palestine

is a bolded aka at Palestine (region). Therefore it is not a POV term, what is POV is your revert with a false reason. Selfstudier (talk) 19:46, 19 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Selfstudier. It is bolded at Palestine (region) because Iskandar323 added it as an 'alt name,' citing highly opinionated sources in this edit from last July. I agree with @האופה that this term is largely a POV term, with many sources distancing themselves from it, as it often originates from pro-Palestinian political discourse (and should be moved from its current aka position at Palestine to an etymology section, alongside Land of Israel). Wikipedia is not a reliable source, particularly on ARBPIA topics, which I believe have been subject to major CPUSH campaigns in recent years. There's a reason we have an incoming case on PIA.
