Notice of discretionary sanctions

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.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Template:Z33

Editors are required to have both 30 days tenure and 500 edits before editing articles or content related to the Palestine-Israel conflict. AmbivalentUnequivocality (talk) 00:43, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:Rana mother of Iyad Halak.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time after the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like {{PD-self}} (to release all rights), {{self|cc-by-sa-4.0}} (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Rana mother of Iyad Halak.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Rana mother of Iyad Halak.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, 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.

June 2020

Your addition to Shooting of Eyad al-Hallaq has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources for more information. — Diannaa (talk) 01:11, 24 June 2020 (UTC) Thanks Diannaa(talk) for your note, I believe the picture I have uploaded has editorial permission (license to use for non commercial purposes) as a new Wikipedia comer I couldn't find the right corresponding tag to mark it as such. Although I put a link to the original site showing the permission to use for "editorial" purposes. Thanks again for the note and my apologies for this confusion.[reply]

My note was about text copied from Haaretz, not a photo. It's not okay to add copyright material to Wikipedia. But this applies to both photos and text. We don't accept photos that are only available for non-commercial purposes; that's not compatible with our license.— Diannaa (talk) 11:33, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the clarification, I got that adding a reference is not enough, but had there been quotation marks around the text would that have been acceptable? or it's imperative that I reword the text and add the reference instead. I know there is a lot for me to learn here.-MYS1979 (talk) 18:21, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion

I apologize for not responding sooner to the messages you left, I did not notice them as you left them on the talk page of my old account and I do not get notified when things are posted there as I would have had you left them on the page of this account. My intention was not to ignore your questions. While it is true that I removed the material initially and primarily due to the 30/500 restrictions, there were other issues with the material as well. Had I felt the material was justified I would have re-added it, much in the same way as I removed the word "warning" because you were correct that it was not included in the source material. Because the source you gave for the East Jerusalem part did not mention the subject of the article, it violated No Original Research and No Synthesis of Sources, which prohibit editors from adding material in order to make a point that is not present in the sources themselves. Also, just because something is verifiable does not mean that it belongs on Wikipedia. This is where the policy of Due Weight comes in. We only put emphasis on things that reliable sources put emphasis on. If reliable sources about a topic do not cover, or only very briefly cover, some aspect of that topic, neither do we. Regarding the part about the caregiver, we need to be very careful about how we phrase things and what we say in Wikipedia's voice. If a source presents something in a way such as (And this is a made up example for clarity) "This person said that it rained for a hundred days in a row" we do not write "It rained for a hundred days in a row", as that takes an attributed statement and puts it in Wikipedia's voice. We should attribute the statement to the person who made it the same way the source does. Furthermore, if the source is biased or lacking in reliability, we would go one step further and say rather "This source stated that this person said...". Lastly, while I understand your passion for things you care deeply about, it is important to remember that the purpose of Wikipedia is not to Right Great Wrongs, and editing with that goal in mind can make it very difficult to write things from the neutral point of view required. One of the benefits of the 30/500 restrictions is that it gives you a chance to learn about Wikipedia's policies and style guidelines while editing subjects that are not as controversial, so that when you start editing the controversial ones you are much more well versed in the way Wikipedia functions and is written. I hope this helps. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask. AmbivalentUnequivocality (talk) 23:34, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
