October 2010

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Palestinian territories. Users who edit disruptively or refuse to collaborate with others may be blocked if they continue. In particular the three-revert rule states that making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block. If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the talk page to discuss controversial changes. Work towards wording and content that gains consensus among editors. If unsuccessful then do not edit war even if you believe you are right. Post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 17:47, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Palestinian territories

Hi Avi. I recommend that you discuss your proposed changes at Talk:Palestinian territories instead of repeatedly inserting them into the article. If you make the same edit repeatedly, you are likely to be blocked. (See WP:Edit warring.)

As far as renaming the article, you should also discuss this idea on the article's Talk page. Follow the instructions at WP:Requested moves#Requesting controversial and potentially controversial moves.

Please leave me a message if you have any questions. — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 19:39, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

Hi, I notice lots of your edits got delete very quickly. Don't let them frustrate you, this is how it works here. They go around deleting whatever they don't like. All you can do is find ways to put in the truth, with reference, not take their method and put in propaganda opinions. If we work hard we will see a day when Wikipedia lives up to its name and has accurate referenced balanced information, not anti-Israel bias propaganda by Israel haters. Just require our time and effort to find reference material! Hope you will stay around. LibiBamizrach (talk) 23:30, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, we would like to remind you not to attack other editors, as you did on Palestinian territories. Please comment on the contributions and not the contributors. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. You are welcome to rephrase your comment as a civil criticism of the article. Thank you. Please refrain from accusing others of anti-semitism. --Andrensath (talk | contribs) 01:06, 25 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I specifically did not attack the contributor in question; it was the contributor who resorted to a personal attack, snidely suggesting that I "read more books" about the subject, as if my previous post was not intelligent. I agree absolutely that there should not be ad hominem attacks on Wikipedia. Although I believe that the Boycott Divestment Sanctions movement is anti-Semitic, I have removed the term "anti-Semitic" from my post.
