Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. One of the core policies of Wikipedia is that articles should always be written from a neutral point of view. A contribution you made to Israel Defense Forces appears to carry a non-neutral point of view, and your edit may have been changed or reverted to correct the problem. Please remember to observe our core policies. Thank you. -- Ynhockey (Talk) 20:43, 18 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by adding commentary and your personal analysis into articles, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Jaysweet (talk) 19:32, 19 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

Special rules and cautions notice

edit

You have been editing a highly contentious area - articles related to the Arab-Israeli conflict. There have been long standing problems with editing in this area, and the community's most senior dispute resolution body has addressed the issue. You have a warning above about the neutral point of view, which is a major concern. Edit warring has been a majro issue, and I want to be sure you don't start doing it either.

As a result of the Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Palestine-Israel articles Arbitration case, the Arbitration committee has acknowledged long-term and persistent problems in the editing of articles related to Israel, Palestine, and related conflicts. As a result, the Committee has enacted broad editing restrictions, described here and below.

  • Any uninvolved administrator may, on his or her own discretion, impose sanctions on any editor working in the area of conflict if, despite being warned, that editor repeatedly or seriously fails to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behavior, or any normal editorial process.
  • The sanctions imposed may include blocks of up to one year in length; bans from editing any page or set of pages within the area of conflict; bans on any editing related to the topic or its closely related topics; restrictions on reverts or other specified behaviors; or any other measures which the imposing administrator believes are reasonably necessary to ensure the smooth functioning of the project.
  • Prior to any sanctions being imposed, the editor in question shall be given a warning with a link to this decision; and, where appropriate, should be counseled on specific steps that he or she can take to improve his or her editing in accordance with relevant policies and guidelines.
  • Discretionary sanctions imposed under the provisions of this decision may be appealed to the imposing administrator, the appropriate administrators' noticeboard (currently WP:AE), or the Committee.

These editing restrictions may be applied to any editor for cause, provided the editor has been previously informed of the case. This message is to so inform you. This message does not necessarily mean that your current editing has been deemed a problem; this is a template message crafted to make it easier to notify any user who has edited the topic of the existence of these sanctions.

Generally, the next step, if an administrator feels your conduct on pages in this topic area is disruptive, would be a warning, to be followed by the imposition of sanctions (although in cases of serious disruption, the warning may be omitted). Hopefully no such action will be necessary.

This notice is only effective if given by an administrator and logged here.

Do not make personal attacks

edit

  This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive comments.
If you continue to make personal attacks on other people as you did at Talk:Bernard L. Madoff, you will be blocked for disruption. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Notmyrealname (talkcontribs) 20:43, December 15, 2008

Notika, I am in agreement with the above warning. This comment[1] was not acceptable, and this edit summary was not much better.[2] I see that you have already been warned a few months ago about WP:ARBPIA, and the potential of rapid administrative action in this topic area. To avoid sanctions, simply please keep all your future comments and edit summaries civil, and this will help to prevent future editing restrictions on your account.

Cut and paste move of Tyre

edit

Per your recent moves, these were not correct. Cutting and pasting content is not the way articles are moved on Wikipedia, see Wikipedia:How to fix cut-and-paste moves. I will have to revert your actions, if you still want to make the move, you will have to do it through the Requested Moves page, as this has been discussed previously, see Talk:Tyre,_Lebanon#Requested_move.
