June 2009[edit]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Palestinian refugee. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. Nableezy (talk) 20:41, 15 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

please do not continue making the same disputed edit, take your concerns to the talk page. Nableezy (talk) 20:52, 15 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You have been reported to the edit warring noticeboard, see here Nableezy (talk) 21:03, 15 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Also please dont WP:HOUND others. Nableezy (talk) 21:07, 15 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Israeli_West_Bank_barrier, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Please use the talk page to discuss edits before making them, particularly on I-P articles. RomaC (talk) 18:37, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You really have no reason to be going through my contributions to oppose me wherever you feel like it. It is pretty obvious what you are doing and I again ask you to cease WP:HOUNDing other editors. Thanks, Nableezy (talk) 20:44, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome[edit]

Welcome to wikipedia. it takes a little while to understand how it works. Especially for editors who choose to begin with one of the most controversial areas on the site. But we need good editors. If I may offer some advice. Begin with a non-controversial topic. The city where you live, a sport you enjoy, or perhaps a page about your church or synagogue. This will let you begin to understand the process. then you can move on to a controversial topic. YOu must understand that the pages on hotly contested topics are not so much written as they are negotiated, among contending editors who behave like lawyers in a courtroom, or like the propaganda ministers of warring states. YOu can make a real contribution, but you will need to stick around long enough to learn the ropes.Historicist (talk) 22:02, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely never delete material written on a talk page. This can get you banned.Historicist (talk) 22:09, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I am aware that the hate-speech, anti-Americanism, anti-Christian, and anti-Semitic attitudes often found among Wikipedia editors can be hard to take. But turly the only way to improve the calibre (and keep the prejudice and hatred off the pages) is for everyone to abide by the rules.Historicist (talk) 22:11, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

click on your user name at the top of the page and write something about yourself. This will stop form making your name come up in red letters, flagging you as a newbie.Historicist (talk) 22:14, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Glad to help. I'm pretty new here myself and I know how confusing and arcane this place is. The user below is correct, by the way. On highly contested pages, teh negotiations take place on the talk page. Not by what is known around here as edit warring.Historicist (talk) 00:04, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Talk Pages[edit]

(copying this from my talk page) RomaC (talk) 23:52, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please explain why my contribution to Israeli West Bank barrier was not constructive, and why you reverted it. --Boatduty177177 (talk) 19:45, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You can see the reason for an edit in the edit summary. Also, you should conduct these sort of discussions on the relevant article's talk page. Thanks. RomaC (talk) 23:52, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing for a short time in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for engaging in an edit war. Please be more careful to discuss controversial changes or seek dispute resolution rather than engaging in an edit war. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may Wikipedia:Appealing a block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below. Shell ^babelfish 16:15, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Boatduty177177 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

My last contribution was not a revert. I was adding more information about the Israeli reaction to the wall. Please check it once again

Decline reason:

Per Shell below. J.delanoy ^gabs _adds 21:13, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

The block is not due to a certain number of reverts, instead it is about the fact that in the few days that you've had this account, you've gotten into edit wars on several pages and spent most of your time reverting other editors. That isn't how Wikipedia works - the idea is to work with other editors and resolve differences by discussion. Shell ^babelfish 16:26, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked for false reasons[edit]

You were falsely accused of being a "sockpuppet" of my user see the accusation at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Telaviv1/Archive

see my arbitration request at Wikipedia:RFARB#telaviv1:_.22trial.22_resulting_from_sockpuppetryaccusation

If you are a sockpuppet for someone else perhaps you could notify me? my phone number is (Removed)

Telaviv1 (talk) 18:08, 18 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have unblocked your account as checkuser has found your accounts to be unrelated. Sorry for any inconveniences this may have brought you. Icestorm815 • Talk 19:54, 18 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Arbitration request declined[edit]

Hello, Boatduty177177. A recent Arbitration request in which you were named as a party, "telaviv1: "trial" resulting from sockpuppetryaccusation", has been declined by the Arbitration Committee. You can review the reasons why the Arbitrators felt this case was not appropriate for arbitration at the archived version here; most probably, the declination would have been because the dispute appeared to be primarily a content issue only or because there was not enough effort to address this problem through other forms of dispute resolution prior to the filing of the request. If this issue is still in need of resolution, please consider pursuing other forms of dispute resolution (such as a request for comment or informal or formal mediation). Should you have any questions, feel free to contact me or another clerk.

For the Arbitration Committee,
Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 18:39, 24 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
