Hi Everyone - feel free to give feedback, ask quesions, or invite me to a drink!

An article you recently created, Zvika Klein, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) 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.

Hi - I understand the need for more citations (will work on it), however as the Editor in Chief of the largest English-speaking paper in the country, it still meets the notability guideline. Kalman (talk) 18:30, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Kalman. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Zvika Klein, 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) 06:10, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Kalman. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "Zvika Klein".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 18:23, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Akiva Tor, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Fort Jackson. 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) 19:54, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Qwerfjkl (bot). I have automatically detected that this edit performed by you, on the page Economic security, may have introduced referencing errors. They are as follows:

• A generic name error. References show this error when author or editor name parameters use place-holder names. Please edit the article to include the source's actual author or editor name. (Fix | Ask for help)

Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, Qwerfjkl (bot) (talk) 08:35, 13 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Deb. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

You appear to have a close connection to a subject about which you have written on Wikipedia that raises concerns about a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged.

Anyone with a conflict of interest must avoid or exercise great caution when:

1. editing articles related to you, your family or colleagues, your organization or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with,
2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors,
3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam);

   and you must always:

4. avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially neutral point of view, verifiability, and autobiography.

See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure. Even if you are not being paid, you are expected to disclose any close connection with the subject of the article, using the connected contributor template.

For more details about what constitutes a conflict of interest, please see Wikipedia:Conflict of Interest. Thank you.

Hi Deb.

I am aware of COI policies and act in accordance to them. I published a new article about Harley Lippman over the weekend, and it was flagged for deletion. I replied in the talk page with the reasoning, but instead of having a conversation you decided to delete it straight away. This is not how we improve Wikipedia or public knowledge - we do that through discussion and making sure everything is done by the rules. (LifeLearning (talk) 09:54, 15 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Deb. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions have been undone because they appeared to be promotional.

Hello, LifeLearning. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for article subjects for more information. We ask that you:

• avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the Edit Request Wizard), including links or details of reliable sources that support your suggestions;
• disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
• avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
• do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicizing, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you.Deb (talk) 09:42, 15 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. The article has been deleted from mainspace after being nominated for speedy deletion. Although you were informed several times above that the draft had failed review because it didn't meet the criteria for inclusion, you went ahead and moved it to mainspace yourself. Please don't attempt to do so again. Deb (talk) 09:42, 15 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Deb.

I was not informed even once that it was nominated for deletion. The editor of a Israel's largest English-language newspaper is worthy of a Wikipedia article, so long as it adheres to living biography standards. If there are specific errors let's fix them, but removing it is the wrong move, and doing so without warning is not ok. (LifeLearning (talk) 09:51, 15 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

There is no requirement to inform contributors when an article is speedily deleted. What made you think it was okay to move a draft to mainspace without it passing a review?

Please remember to declare any conflict of interest before requesting undeletion. Deb (talk) 09:57, 15 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

The speedy deletion clearly says you can argue against it in the page talk space, which I did; courtesy would be to answer, even if you don't have to.

I understand the COI rules. LifeLearning (talk) 10:05, 15 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at Draft:Zvika Klein. Thanks! CherryPie94 🍒🥧 (talk) 09:15, 22 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks CherryPie94 🍒🥧, I've added a whole bunch of sources for the biographical stuff. (~~~~) LifeLearning (talk) 09:31, 22 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good. CherryPie94 🍒🥧 (talk) 09:36, 22 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

There are still a few areas, which I've marked with citation needed. CherryPie94 🍒🥧 (talk) 09:41, 22 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Zvika Klein, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

The article has been assessed as Start-Class, which is recorded on its talk page. Most new articles start out as Stub-Class or Start-Class and then attain higher grades as they develop over time. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.

Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for creation if you prefer.

If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk. Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to create articles yourself without posting a request to Articles for creation.

Thanks again, and happy editing!
