Civility and edit warring

You challenged some material claiming it was unsourced and OR; I provided the sources, yet you persist in accusing me of advocacy. I have not advocated anything but simply provided sources for challenged statements. I would consider your repeated WP:ASPERSIONS that I am pushing a POV or advocating something to be WP:UNCIVIL. Please do not persist in this or I will make an appropriate AE report along with your repeated removals of sourced material in an edit warring fashion despite 2 other editors reverting.

Whitewashing of genocide in Australia

I don't have permission but can you add this?

An editor has removed all mention of genocide from the lead and body of the Australia article.

Source to cite:

https://australian.museum/learn/first-nations/genocide-in-australia/

I'm requesting that this is added to the lead and body:

The arrival of British settler colonizers began in 1788, leading to a genocide of the Indigenous Aboriginal population, mass killings, forced assimilation, and their confinement to various Aboriginal reservations.

Absolutely shocking that this is not shown.

About berbers RFC

Not trying to start a conversation here, just wanted to note that the discussion is about the infobox, not the content of the article itself, in case an edit war starts due to a misunderstanding seeing that you added a wrong note in the RFC. Thank you. TahaKahi (talk) 23:17, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

TahaKahi, thanks for the note. Misread and thought we were talking about mos:altname. Tried to address but there was an edit conflict and it was a mess so gave up. Feel free to delete the notes if you'd like. إيان (talk) 23:26, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
Thank you! If possible, could you delete them yourself? I’d prefer to avoid any potential issues or the appearance of meddling with the RFC since I'm the one who opened it. TahaKahi (talk) 23:28, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
Sure thing. إيان (talk) 23:32, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
TahaKahi, looks like our friend has taken care of it. إيان (talk) 23:35, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

A Dictionary of Modern Written Arabic

I'm sure you're well-intended, but changing the focus of the article from the Arabic-English dictionary to the Arabic-German dictionary is a drastic change. Please discuss on the article talk page... 00:21, 11 December 2024 (UTC) AnonMoos (talk) 00:21, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

As I've explained elsewhere, and can go on about in boring detail, ever since the stupid Misplaced Pages Dec. 2019 encryption protocol upgrade, to able to edit or view Misplaced Pages at all from my home computer, I have to use an indirect method which involves a non-fully-Unicode-compliant tool. I couldn't even really see your signature that way, and so didn't know to try to avoid changing it (which I can sometimes do by putting my comments in a separate subsection, then later deleting the section header). Notice that I also didn't include the German diacritics? AnonMoos (talk) 00:50, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

Article talk page section header

Here's the thing -- date-only section headers are sometimes OK on user talk pages, but on article talk pages, headers which give some idea as to what is being discussed in that section are greatly preferred. That means that your date-only section header on the article talk page is a pure empty vacuum, and whenever I edit the page, I'll always fill in its content-free nothingness, on the principle that something is better than nothing, and as a courtesy to a third-party who might come along, among other reasons. If you don't like the content I added, then maybe substitute your own content, but don't restore the void of nullity that is the date-only header, because that might look to other people a lot like edit-warring for a rather stupid purpose. Also, you have some special rights over section titles on your user talk page, but that's simply not the case on an article talk page. By general principles, a more informative header would generally be preferred over a less informative header (in the case of a dispute), and posting the first comment in a section gives you NO special rights whatsoever over the section title (as I explained before, section headers are unsigned, and not usually considered part of user comments).

ANI discussion

Hi, I have added an unsigned template to your post, you could replace it with your own signature if you wanted.

I am not an admin, but I think it would help admins and other page watchers if you named and linked the editor you are reporting. Also the core of this seems to be a content dispute so you may be told to continue with dispute resolution, e.g. the third opinion request. TSventon (talk) 15:47, 17 December 2024 (UTC)

Arabic question

Hi, إيان

The page Palestine (region) states that the Arabic name is فِلَسْطِينَ and transliterates this as Filasṭīn.

Isn't "فِلَسْطِينَ" = filastina?

The Arabic and it's transliteration don't seem to match to me, just asking you about it as you're an Arabic speaker.

Thank you, IOHANNVSVERVS (talk) 17:57, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

Hey IOHANNVSVERVS, in فصحى (Standard Arabic), the final vowel/case ending depends on the ʾIʿrab (noun declension). The فَتْحَة fatḥah (-a) currently there designates an accusative mood, usually for when the word is the object of a preposition.
There are other vocalizations of فلسطين depending on dialect, but in Standard Arabic it's فِلَسْطِيْن. I'll fix it. إيان (talk) 18:14, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
شكرا - IOHANNVSVERVS (talk) 18:29, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

1RR on Zionism

You have twice removed the year "1885" from Zionism that I added. While the two edits are slightly different, in both cases you removed the addition of 1885, arguably, two reverts, violating the 1RR sanction on this article. Andre🚐 01:57, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

Did you want to keep "an 1890 article in the 1885 periodical"? إيان (talk) 01:59, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
Yes, the periodical started in 1885. You said it makes no sense, I do not see why. Andre🚐 02:01, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
Would you say "a 2025 article in the 1851 periodical" to describe an article in The New York Times? It's bizarre wording. Just say "a periodical founded / established in x" if you need to. But it's unnecessary bloat for a section on the terminology of Zionism anyway. إيان (talk) 02:07, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
It's relevant because it's very early in the history of the periodical and related to the early activities in the time period. And also, it's still a 1RR violation. I would accept "article in the periodical established/founded in," though. Andre🚐 02:12, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
You can see if anyone else thinks it's necessary to include on the talk page. إيان (talk) 02:57, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
WP:1RR is a bright line rule, so I'm inviting you to revert your own edit. Andre🚐 05:56, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
I invite you to seek consensus on the talk page. إيان (talk) 06:12, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

Information icon Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Misplaced Pages's policy on edit warring. Thank you. Andre🚐 07:59, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

Withdrawn since nobody ever notified you of the CTOPs sanctions. Have done so below.

You have recently edited a page related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Misplaced Pages’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Misplaced Pages administrators have an expanded level of powers and discretion in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

Additionally, you must be logged-in, have 500 edits and an account age of 30 days, and are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on a page within this topic.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures, you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.
