Azov Battalion[edit]

I have started a discussion in which you may care to comment at [[1]] Cheers Elinruby (talk) 01:14, 21 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry? Genabab (talk) 22:11, 23 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Taiwan[edit]

This would definitely be one to post at Talk:Taiwan before doing it again. John (talk) 14:39, 1 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please join the discussion over the talk page, there are countless discussions and plenty of reason over the issue you just raise. If you still do not agree with the previous consensus or any decision made from the past discussions, then it is welcome for you to make a request through the talk by asking the community to revisit the issue. Do not just impose your own version of POV edits before making a major change to the topic. LVTW2 (talk) 16:25, 1 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

woops, sorry. Didn't know such a thing existed. I did see the warnings of "don't say that it's not a country" so I tried to specify that it's only a partially recognised one Genabab (talk) 16:46, 1 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Whatever you opinion is, the Wikipedia tends to make the issue impartial and account for many sides of the topic, which is what the discussion is essential to make any major change, any of the description is not decided by myself, the consensus should be made through a general discussion, compromised by several attendants among the Wikipedia community, and which is important for you to understand that. LVTW2 (talk) 16:58, 1 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯, I saw similar states like Kosovo be recognised as partially recognised, so I didn't think it'd be seen as a matter of opinion. Genabab (talk) 17:08, 1 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

David Pakman[edit]

I appreciate your enthusiasm on the David Pakman article, but the way Wikipedia operates is such that Wikipedia:Reliable sources are used to inform what content goes on articles (see also Wikipedia:No original research), and while it is true that Pakman is parroting far-right talking points on Latin American politics, there is a distinction between that and whether it is included in a Wikipedia article.

In this case, until there are news articles or the like discussing it, it shouldn't be included. (Besides, The David Pakman Show is probably the better article for such additions to occur in anyways). aismallard (talk) 09:47, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I mean, I understand that youtube isn't usually a reliable source as it's not academic. But I still don't entirely understand how that applies here, because it *is* Pakman's own channel.

Though, I do get the wider point of if this needs to be included. Which is fair enough. Genabab (talk) 10:48, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for December 7[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited 2022 COVID-19 protests in China, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Guardian. 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) 06:02, 7 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Concern regarding Draft:Baha Tevfik[edit]

Hello, Genabab. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Baha Tevfik, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 13:04, 5 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

April 2023[edit]

Hello, I'm Firestar464. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Firestar464 (talk) 16:01, 16 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Could I ask what this is for? RSF in South Sudan? The Cardiacs edit for Victory Egg? If it's the former I assumed that the statements and content of linked articles were source enough? Genabab (talk) 17:11, 16 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You have recently made edits related to Eastern Europe or the Balkans. This is a standard message to inform you that Eastern Europe or the Balkans is a designated contentious topic. This message does not imply that there are any issues with your editing. For more information about the contentious topics system, please see Wikipedia:Contentious topics. -Lemonaka‎ 22:22, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: National Amerindianist American Redman's Party (July 14)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Robert McClenon was:

Thank you for your submission, but the subject of this article already exists in Wikipedia. You can find it and improve it at National Amerindianist American Redman's Party instead.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Two copies of this page have been created, in draft space and in article space. It is not necessary to create two copies of the same page, and it annoys the reviewers. This is sometimes done in order to bypass Articles for Creation review. However, if a submitter is ready to have the article in article space, it can be moved into article space, rather than creating a copy. It is common for a page that has been duplicated in draft space and in article space to be nominated for deletion or proposed for deletion.

If the article is kept, this draft should be redirected to the article. If the article is deleted, this draft may be kept for future improvement.

This draft is either essentially the same as the article with the same name, or a subset of the article with the same name. The draft will be replaced by a redirect from draft space to the article.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:National Amerindianist American Redman's Party and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Robert McClenon (talk) 17:15, 14 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Genabab! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! Robert McClenon (talk) 17:15, 14 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sourcing[edit]

@Genabab re: Special:Diff/1172809649, sources and citations are always necessary in all articles. It is not acceptable to make readers look for sources in linked articles, which if Wikipedia worked that way, could send them to yet other linked articles for its sources. Articles cannot depend on one another, let alone like this. –Vipz (talk) 13:34, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Juhor ad-Dik ambush[edit]

The article Juhor ad-Dik ambush has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This article is just a recycling of Hamas propaganda, and consists solely of Hamas claims which have not been independently verified.

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. Mikrobølgeovn (talk) 16:59, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Do not bludgeon discussions[edit]

Do not bludgeon discussions as you're doing at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Juhor ad-Dik ambush. There is no need to respond to each delete response. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 01:38, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

In what way is asking questions about the arguments raised a bad thing? Genabab (talk) 09:19, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

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. ARandomName123 (talk)^{Ping me!} 21:44, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

April 2024[edit]

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to Battle of Beit Hanoun. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. UtoD 16:08, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
