A barnstar for you!

	The Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar
	Hi, because of lack of time, i was not able to complete the article yesterday, thank you very much for taking the time to explain me how to use the Harv style and for completing (and correcting my mistakes) my edits at Medo-Babylonian conquest of the Assyrian Empire. Cheers. ---Wikaviani ^{(talk) (contribs)} 21:36, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

	The Anti-Vandalism Barnstar
	It’s always great to see more people fighting vandalism. Have a star! Jeb³ _{Talk at me here}^{What I've Done} 23:41, 12 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Jebcubed: Thank you so much for your encouragement. M.Bitton (talk) 23:57, 12 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A cup of coffee for you!

I see that you check recent edits for appropriateness. I clicked through to see a set of the reversions that you had made for rejected submissions, and I agreed with all of what I saw you had done. It seemed apparent to me through the decisions you made and the comments that you left that you were giving human attention to the decisions you made rather than over-relying on tools and automation. Thanks for that, and thanks especially for the notes you leave. You are doing good review. Blue Rasberry (talk) 01:39, 18 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Bluerasberry: Thank you so much for your words of encouragement. Best, M.Bitton (talk) 22:07, 18 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Another barnstar for you!

		The Original Barnstar
		For answering a lot of edit requests and helping to keep the backlog at bay. For a while, I was taking care of that on my own, and it feels nice to see someone else get to it first every now and then! Actualcpscm (talk) 17:22, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Actualcpscm: thank you very much for the encouragement and for tackling those time consuming edit requests that tend to be pushed to the back of the queue. Keep up the great work! Best, M.Bitton (talk) 22:39, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for your incredible work on the Horn of Africa relief map :)

		The Original Barnstar
		Here's a barnstar for your incredible work on the Horn of Africa relief map! Really appreciate the effort you put into it :) KluskaSlaska (talk) 16:21, 21 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Also, on a related note, I would love to do some more map work once I have more time in late summer. Do you have any good guides on how to get started on maps for Wikipedia? :) KluskaSlaska (talk) 16:21, 21 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@KluskaSlaska: Thank you so much for your feedback. Unfortunately, I'm not aware of any good guides that would help you. Best, M.Bitton (talk) 14:02, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

		The Graphic Designer's Barnstar
		Honestly, I'm a bit disappointed in myself for not giving this to you sooner! You have been a great help creating maps for many articles, don't stop doing what you do! – Treetoes023 (talk) 22:09, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Treetoes023: Thank you so much for your words of encouragement. Best, M.Bitton (talk) 12:01, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Jewish exodus from the Muslim world

Hello there,

Regarding the short description, can you explain why you thought my new version is inappropriate?

I saw that the 1948 Palestinian Exodus page has a similar short description "Expulsion and flight of Palestinians..."

I thought it appropriate to describe the Jewish Exodus as Persecution and Exodus from the Muslim World since the Jews suffered persecution and were subsequently either expelled or emigrated due to persecution. Since the article describes this, I naturally assume it's appropriate to describe this in the short description. Mass Movement of people is rather misleading. Since mass migrations are not the same as forced exile.

Thank you for your time M.Bitton Homerethegreat (talk) 11:45, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

For two reasons: 1) The the description should be limited to 40 characters (per Template:Short description). 2) the word "persecution" that you added is clearly misleading. M.Bitton (talk) 11:51, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Belated answer

The October 2023 clashes are not covered, AFAIK. It is not at 2023 Al-Aqsa clashes, or anywhere standalone at present, I don't think. I was planning to fill the gap, but then a lot of other events took over rather quickly! Iskandar323 (talk) 11:16, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Iskandar323: thanks. This confirms my suspicion and explains why I couldn't find anywhere. Best, M.Bitton (talk) 17:18, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comments were struck

Look. I was not intending to canvass. Please do not report me as my comments have been struck. You seem to not be assuming good faith as I have clearly stated I was (1) not intending to canvass and (2) willing to recant the statements. Please assume good faith and accept the recant that I did. I propose a WP:MUTUAL striking of the conversation, aka closing/archiving as an unintended canvassing event. Agreed? The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 17:53, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@WeatherWriter: if I didn't assume good faith, I would have reported you already instead of asking for an explanation. In any case, now that you struck your comments, I see no need for further action. Feel free to archive the discussions. M.Bitton (talk) 17:57, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

In all honesty, you were saying “I’m not answering your questions, but I do not accept the answers you gave to mine”. That isn’t assuming good faith. In any case, I will achieve the discussions when I get back on November 1. Cheers! The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 17:59, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Assuming good faith doesn't mean entertaining the unjustifiable. M.Bitton (talk) 18:02, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The discussions have now been closed and archived. M.Bitton (talk) 18:12, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

i wanted to say sorry

After some thought i came to the conclusion that i was being an ass, specifically a dumb one. While i still believe that that section of the article should be removed it wasn't justified for me to edit war. i would like to clarify that im not a sockpuppet of the other user nor is the other user a sockpuppet of mine. (i still have no idea how to sign on mobile) JackyTheChemosh (talk) 14:14, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
