Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Yom HaAliyah has been reverted.
Your edit here to Yom HaAliyah was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (http://www.facebook.com/YomHaAliyah) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page.

A few tips

edit

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thanks for your additions, but a couple of tips for editing:

  1. Please don't mark all your edits as minor (this is just below the edit window).
  2. When referencing news articles, please use the actual title of the news articles. I noticed on the Miki Zohar article that you added incorrect titles including "New Holiday Yom HaAliyah" (actual title "Israel approves holiday to celebrate contribution of immigrants") and "Aliyah Day becomes official holiday" (actual title "Israel approves holiday to celebrate contribution of immigrants").
  3. When formatting dates, do not use ordinals (1st, 2nd, 3rd etc) – dates must be written as 1 June or June 1.

If you have any questions about editing, I'll do my best to answers. Cheers, Number 57 21:35, 31 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Hineni. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose editing privileges. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a loss of editing privileges. Thank you. FuriouslySerene (talk) 15:34, 1 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

  Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been reverted.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continual disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. —Granger (talk · contribs) 21:24, 22 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Yom HaAliyah, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Ya'akov Katz. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Good faith reversion

edit

I reverted your good faith edits to Jewish holidays and Template:Jewish and Israeli holidays. You invited a discussion on these subjects, and I began such a discussion. So until there is consensus to your point of view (or mine or anyone else's), please leave things alone.

I left intact your edits at Public holidays in Israel, because I do think they are proper.

Question Steven, how long to wait on the topic of the template before we determine that you and I are the only ones opining on it all, and we take action? Also, I am newish to Wikipedia and would love to speak with you on it. Whats yours email? Shavua Tov from Tel Aviv Ir HaKodesh. Alanadrubin (talk) 18:06, 10 June 2017 (UTC)Reply

It depends. In this case, there are actually a couple of people I think might show up, so I'd probably let it sit a week before taking action. Also ... You don't need to keep changing חסר Hebrew spellings to מלא spellings (and arguably shouldn't). There's no direct policy on that in the English Wikipedia Manual of Style, but the policy on American vs. British spelling is that spelling conventions aren't changed once in place. FWIW, I think that חסר spellings are often more familiar in חו״ל. ... You can email me by going to my user page and then clicking "email this user". Finally ... "תל־אביב עיר הקודש"? That's a new one!

Discretionary sanctions notification

edit
This message contains important information about an administrative situation on Wikipedia. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.

Please carefully read this information:

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.

Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you that sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

You seem to general edit around Israeli holidays, nothing wrong with that. I just wanted to let you know that areas related to the Arab-Israeli conflict are under arbitration committee restrictions, and accounts that are less than 30 days old and have less than 500 edits cannot edit in this area. Rabin Day seems to be related to it given the history of Rabin, so I thought it best to let you know. TonyBallioni (talk) 21:11, 8 July 2017 (UTC)Reply
(talk page stalker) @TonyBallioni and Ad Orientem: I can appreciate the notice and the protection laid on this article. But you've now got the relatively strange situation that Alana created the page, but now can no longer edit it, because someone decided it should come under ARBPIA. Given that the text of the article is an entirely dry recital of the fact that the memorial day exists, I don't think that was a bit necessary. I think in respect to Alana's work on Israeli holiday pages, you might have chosen (a) not to protect the page at all, until and unless an editing disagreement related to ARBPIA developed, or (b) to protect the page at standard semiprotection, as a nod to ARBPIA issues, but not actually set it at extended-confirmed protection until and unless an issue arose. I'm inclined to offer to Alana that I will make any reasonable edit she wishes on that page, because I think you are out of line here. But I'd rather that you reconsider this reflexive action for the time being. StevenJ81 (talk) 03:44, 9 July 2017 (UTC)Reply
StevenJ81, I just came across the page on NPP and was conflicted on it. I ultimately decided to request protection because I don't think it is possible to separate things Rabin related from the fact that he was assinated relatively recently and had such a central role in Oslo. A holiday commemorating him seems intrinsically linked to his assisination and thus the conflict. I also noticed the Ben Guran holiday created and was/am also considering requesting it. The goal of the 500/30 protection is to prevent disruption, and ultimately I suspect a Rabin relate article would attract a fair amount of trolling. I think EC protection is justified here, but I'll defer to Ad who was the admin who protected. TonyBallioni (talk) 04:00, 9 July 2017 (UTC)Reply
I think StevenJ81 has made some fair points. Nobody has acted improperly here, but this is an unusual situation and one where I think commonsense would suggest that an editor should not be barred from editing an article they just created. If we encounter some serious disruptive editing we can always slap protection back on the article. But for now I think I am going to remove it. Protection is authorized for these articles but I believe this is within the realm of administrator's discretion. And I think there is a strong argument for an exception here. If anyone sees problematic editing just drop me a line. Thanks Steve for pinging me. -Ad Orientem (talk) 04:09, 9 July 2017 (UTC)Reply
I've downgraded the protection to semi-PP since Tony is concerned about it attracting trolls. I think this is adequate and should not interfere with Alana's ability to edit the article. -Ad Orientem (talk) 04:16, 9 July 2017 (UTC)Reply
@Ad Orientem and TonyBallioni: Thank you both for your prompt responses. Ad Orientem, thank you for your openness to my points. I do agree that the article probably comes within the range of authorization for protection, but also within the realm of administrators' discretion. I will also watch the page, and will contact you promptly if I see problems arise.
That said, I think I will leave the "discretionary sanctions" notice here all the same. If nothing else, Alana is getting close to the line, and I do want her to understand what the rules are on the other side of that line. StevenJ81 (talk) 04:22, 9 July 2017 (UTC)Reply
(edit conflict) Ad Orientem, I have a lot of respect for you, so I will defer to you here, but I think the assisination bit makes a strong case for it being connected to the Arab-Israeli conflict under the arb case and thus EC. Technically the creation wasn't allowed, but I don't think anyone wants deletion here. I'd be more than willing to accept any good faith edit requests if it was EC protected. My concern is that with Rabin the violent nature of his death would only attract disruption. Again, I'm willing to defer to you on this and don't plan to take it past this talk page, but I think this one is tricky. TonyBallioni (talk) 04:25, 9 July 2017 (UTC)Reply
Tony, Thanks for the vote of confidence. I agree that there are aspects of this situation that seem to be dancing on or slightly over a few lines. But I am not seeing anything here that causes me to question either good faith or competency so I'm prepared to give a bit of latitude. We can file this under IAR. I honestly don't think the project will benefit from Alana not being able to edit the article and I see very little risk in allowing it. But on the off chance that something goes wrong, one of the nice things about Wikipedia is there are very very few things that can't be fixed with a few clicks on a mouse. -Ad Orientem (talk) 04:32, 9 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

@StevenJ81 and Ad Orientem: fair enough. I certainly don't see any signs from Alana that she intends to become a POV warrior over holidays, the Rabin thing was what worried me, but I'll watchlist it and ping if it becomes an issue. Ad, would you also mind semi-protecting Ben-Gurion Day? It was the one that I was going back and forth on re: EC, but think it definitely qualifies for semi under similar logic. As for the DS notification, I actually mean what the template says when I post it: it doesn't imply misconduct. I do a fair amount of work in new pages and anytime there is something connected to the Arab-Israeli conflict that is created, I typically give it to the article creator simply because it is such a controversial area. I stay well away from it, but I think it is important that anyone who goes near it knows the administrative situation.

Alana, sorry for the drama on your talk page. I know how overwhelming the Wikpediea-ese can be. Keep up the good work on Israeli holidays, just be careful about things near the conflict :) TonyBallioni (talk) 04:55, 9 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

  Done -Ad Orientem (talk) 05:02, 9 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

Templates

edit

Hi, Alana. Why don't you have one more look at User:StevenJ81/sandbox/Public holidays in Israel and make sure you think it is substantially complete. After that, I think we need to open a discussion at Template talk:Jewish and Israeli holidays to determine how we should make use of the parallel templates. Here's what I'm thinking:

  • Current Template:Jewish and Israeli holidays possibly is renamed to just "Jewish holidays", and the "Israeli" part is taken out of its top title bar. This works, to a great extent, because there will be a lot of pages where both templates appear together.
    Agree
    Otherwise, I think it remains unchanged, except possibly for removing Yom Ha'Aliyah. I'm of two minds on that one. On one hand, its status in Israel is equivalent to the other four, which you can't say about any of the other "observances". On the other, it's the only one of the five that gets almost no traction in Diaspora communities.
    Strongly disagree because it is the the most recent addition, from June 2016, and thus it takes time to trickle to Galut. The need to "get the word out" doesn't make it less of a Jewish holiday (which many believe it constitutes since the State of Israel made it into a major national holiday). If we took into account what most Jews in the Diaspora do, we would have to delete almost the entire template.
    Let me also add: some people will almost certainly try to remove the "State of Israel" section from the original template entirely, now that we will run parallel templates. My strongest argument against will be that those days are also reasonably widely observed by Jewish communities in the Diaspora. But I may have to concede Yom Ha'Aliyah on that point.
  • Otherwise, each template appears on every page having a link. (VE Day doesn't, yet. Can you add some content to that page, thereby justifying a link? Otherwise, we should remove from the new template.) That means that many pages will have both templates. The main pages that will not will be those in the "Knesset observances" section, on the one hand, and the more detailed listing of holidays and fasts on the other.

  You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can 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 you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. ST47 (talk) 18:38, 31 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

Managing a conflict of interest

edit

  Hello, Alanadrubin. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Am Yisrael Foundation, 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 organizations for more information. We ask that you:

  • avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
  • propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
  • 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 WP:Spam);
  • 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.

  Hello Alanadrubin! Your additions to Yom HaAliyah have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

  • You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
  • Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
  • We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
  • If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
  • Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 02:21, 12 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
