Thank you for your contributions to the encyclopedia! In case you are not already aware, an article to which you have recently contributed, Men's rights movement, is on article probation. A detailed description of the terms of article probation may be found at Talk:Men's rights movement/Article probation. Also note that the terms of some article probations extend to related articles and their associated talk pages.

The above is a templated message. Please accept it as a routine friendly notice, not as a claim that there is any problem with your edits. Thank you. -- v/r - TP 13:35, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Siegfried Schnabl, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Havanna (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Hi Jason, one of the requirements for editing material related to the Arab-Israeli conflict topic area is that you have 500 edits. If you spend any time looking at my edit history you will see that I probably am in agreement with you on a number of topics. But you may not create that article until you have 500 edits. Further, we have policies on WP:POVFORKs, and if you want to split something off from the main article you should discuss that on its talk page. I actually think what we need is an article on Israel and the crime of apartheid, and it wouldnt be too far off organization wise from what you created, but we still have rules for this topic area and everybody has to follow them. Please do not restore that article. nableezy - 19:23, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The reason I was able to edit the article in the first place is because it was not under protection. I assumed that because it wasn't under protection, I was allowed to edit it. But sure, I will cease editing it further and will start a discussion in the analogy article. Appreciate your message.--JasonMacker (talk) 19:35, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It just wasnt protected because nobody had gotten to it or seen a need as it hadnt been editing in ten years. But the prohibition on editing article space for material related to the conflict applies everywhere, not just where the article is protected. If you want my advice, I think the better use of your energy would be discussing on the analogy page a reframing of the article (and title). nableezy - 19:44, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That's exactly what I did. I have no intention to deliberately violate Wikipedia's rules and want to stay within the scope of what's allowed. Thanks for your input on the analogy article's talk page. --JasonMacker (talk) 21:04, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

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.

The current splitting proposal is actually a "formal discussion" and you should not participate in it until you reach the qualifying edit count. You can contribute constructively on the talk page itself. I would be grateful if you would move your most recent comment, either to a new section after the splitting proposal or to the section prior. Thanks. Selfstudier (talk) 09:18, 13 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

EDIT- I see now that your comment has been replied to so my suggestion is no longer possible. Please refrain from any further participation in the formal discussion. Thanks.09:23, 13 June 2022 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Template:International military intervention against the Islamic State infobox, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. ― Tartan357 ^Talk 20:25, 17 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

An article you recently created, 2022 China-Arab States Summit, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more in-depth coverage about the subject itself, with citations from reliable, independent sources in order to show it meets WP:GNG. It should have at least three. And please remember that interviews, as primary sources, do not count towards GNG.(?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.Onel5969 ^{TT me} 13:27, 27 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

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 Uyghurs, Uyghur genocide, or topics that are related to Uyghurs or Uyghur genocide. Due to past disruption in this topic area, the community has authorised uninvolved administrators to impose contentious topics restrictions—such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks—on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, expected standards of behaviour, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic. For additional information, please see the guidance on these sanctions.

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved content from Israel and apartheid into another page. 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. ⸺(Random)staplers 02:37, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Gaza Freedom Flotilla (2025). First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Gaza Freedom Flotilla Incident. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Gaza Freedom Flotilla Incident. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Sophisticatedevening🍷^(talk) 16:04, 2 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello there

I reverted your edit because it is contrary to policy regarding NPOV to only highlight the nationality of authors if they are Israeli as this implies that nationality determines legal opinions but only if they are Israelis. In discussion of legal issues the only relevant criteria should be their relevant legal expertise. When discussing participants in legal debates I don't see any point in saying "the Palestinian academic", "the Israeli academic", "the Muslim academic", "the Jewish academic", "the American pro-Palestinian activist", the "the Norwegian radical academic" etc. Just briefly give their relevant qualifications or expertise. Anyway, there is a link to the wikipedia articles on these scholars so if readers are interested in their nationality, religions, political views, favourite colour etc, they can read the article on them. Happy to discuss. Aemilius Adolphin (talk) 22:29, 30 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

If the issue is that the person in question shouldn't be singled out, then that's a problem that can be easily addressed; every mentioned person can have their nationality mentioned. But this blanket restriction on mentioning the nationality of people making judgments, especially when there is considerable conflict-of-interest, seems unnecessary. Specifically in the case of the Gaza Strip, an Israeli irredentist offering his "legal" opinion seems incredibly pertinent. Surely that's highly relevant, compared to his religion or favorite color? There's also the issue of WP:UNDUE because the vast majority of legal scholars consider the Gaza Strip to be considered part of the State of Palestine. JasonMacker (talk) 21:14, 31 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop removing sourced content from the Protests against the 2026 Iran war article. The multiple WP:RS within the parent National Iranian American Council article specifically state that the organization is widely viewed as the lobby of the Islamic Republic. Also, it is not "weird" to add the clause when it is there to clarify the context of the Iranian organization, in comparison to the Iranian diaspora protests. If you disagree, I recommend taking it to the talk page of the parent article in order to reach WP:Consensus. Ronnnaldo7 (talk) 05:01, 4 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]
