Zeno of Citium edit

Why do you keep reverting the change? I added references about Greek, Phoenician, and Eteocypriot being the common languages of the city of Citium, from where Zeno originated. We also know that all of Zeno's writings were in Greek. There is no source claiming that the family origins of Zeno were Phoenician. I am not being irrational here. That's why i wrote "Cypriot" and not something else. After all, he was "Cypriot". It is one thing to make a suggestion about a Phoenician origin, and totally another to present Zeno as of Phoenician origin. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Demetrios1993 (talkcontribs) 10:14, 26 June 2019 (UTC)Reply

Notice edit

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 articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. 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.

To opt out of receiving messages like this one, place {{Ds/aware}} on your user talk page and specify in the template the topic areas that you would like to opt out of alerts about. 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.

You are edit-warring and you are violating our core principle of civility at the Nassim Taleb. Please self revert your re-addition of the primary-sourced content. You should read WP:BLP WP:NPA WP:NPOV, in particular, WP:WEIGHT, and WP:NOR You will benefit from a thorough understanding of Wikipedia sourcing and content policies and avoid needless frustration, If you continue to edit-war you may be blocked from editing.

Thank you for your message; but your removal is based on denying the American University in Beirut its status as a reliable source for a matter concerning a third party. If that is the case then no university in the U.S. is a reliable source and wikipedia entries must be adjusted accordingly. I believe that is an undue discrimination against a foreign university. It is also an undue discrimination against Prof. Taleb for preventing the posting of an honorary doctorate. I also believe we must involve administrators to clear up such policy. We are all trying to make Wikipedia fairer and more accurate. Best regards, PopulationGeneticsLevant (talk) 20:13, 2 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
And, by the way, the American University in Beirut is the best university in Lebanon and one of the best in the Near East. It is U.S. and European accredited. PopulationGeneticsLevant (talk) 20:29, 2 April 2022 (UTC)Reply

I suggest you seek the guidance of an Administrator if you are unable to understand the issues I've pointed out. No, a university itself is not a valid secondary source about its own ceremony, and you should be able to distinguish between the university itself and the various peer-reviewed publications it may host or in which its faclulty may publish. Please go to the Help Desk or ask an Admin to help you with these issues. SPECIFICO talk 20:39, 2 April 2022 (UTC)Reply

So you mean that nothing on a university site is a valid source. So the [[Swedish Royal Academy of Sciences] is not a source for the Nobel Prize that it grants and not a source for the Nobel lectures? Please explain. If so, we need to remove all references using the Swedish Royal Academy related to the Nobel Prize. PopulationGeneticsLevant (talk) 20:46, 2 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
I'm not going to tutor you before you read the policy links I provided for you. You should read them thoroughly and then ask at the Help Desk or ask a willing Admin for assistance. SPECIFICO talk 21:24, 2 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
