Hi: I see in your edit to Aliyah you said in the edit summary that there were reliable sources supporting the numbers. Please go to Talk:Aliyah and say what they are. This is called bold - revert - discuss, and is how we prefer to deal with disagreements over article content on Misplaced Pages. There is also a section at one of the administrators' noticeboards about the number changes to this article; the editor who reverted you mentioned it in their edit summary. It's here in case you want to join the discussion there, but the article talk page is the best place to talk about content issues. Yngvadottir (talk) 20:15, 15 December 2014 (UTC)

Mentioned at WP:ANI

Hello Ashurbanippal. Your edits of Aliyah have been mentioned at WP:ANI#Aliyah. People have observed that you are a brand new account, and you seem to be edit warring at Aliyah. At least, you are making large changes (23,000 bytes) while making no effort to get consensus on the talk page. Please take the time for a discussion there. And you can reply at ANI if you wish. Feel free to say whether you have previously edited Aliyah as an IP. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 03:24, 16 December 2014 (UTC)

Formation of the ADL

Hello Ashurbanippal, and thanks for your recent contributions to History of antisemitism. I haven't been able to read the specific reference you added, but I have (I believe) the definitive answer to the question we have recently been debating. It is from Abraham H. Foxman, National Director of the Anti-Defamation League. He states "No, the Leo Frank case was not the impetus for the founding of the Anti-Defamation League." You can find his article here: http://www.adl.org/press-center/c/a-century-later-leo-frank-tragedy-still-resonates.html So, I will revert your recent edit, unless you have something more authoritative. Thanks Gulbenk (talk) 21:20, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

Hello again Ashurbanippal. I am concerned that you are engaging in edit warring, and adding erroneous information to this article. I have already directed you to an authoritative source which contradicts the information you added. I would rank the National Director of the ADL as a better, more reliable, source for information regarding the foundation of his organization than an author.

I know that you are new here, and may not be familiar with the interactions that (hopefully) lead to better articles. I will not revert your edit. Rather, I ask you to reconsider your actions. I will only enter a request for administrative involvement if you refuse to reconsider. Feel free to respond here, if you still feel that your position is correct. If we can not settle this matter on our own, I will ask an administrator to consider the merits of each position. Gulbenk (talk) 22:05, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

ADL's website is a primary source, I brought three different secondary sources (which are better). Please ask for an impartial administrator's opinion. I'll comply with his decision. It wasn't my intention to disturb you or start an edit-war, I simply think the Leo Frank affair was important for the foundation of ADL. Perhaps you could write something like "some sources state that Leo Frank's conviction led to the foundation of the Anti-Defamation League, although the organization denies this".--Ashurbanippal (talk) 22:09, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

I have added this discussion to the article's talk page, since it may be useful, or of interest, to others. Lets move the discussion to that page. Thanks. Gulbenk (talk) 22:21, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

WP:ARBPIA discretionary sanctions alert

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 Misplaced Pages, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you 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.

January 2015 Syria

It is good that you supplemented the article. Attack 20 January 2015. However, Article 4 there is still an attack, it already the fifth. Why it is separate? Let there be a list of 5 items. + you can not prove that * January 2015 * = consequences (another option intercommunication) for *December 2014 * + Of course there is a mutual relationship. A specific value is unknown to us, and can not be reliably proven. Calo yronili (talk) 06:11, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

I'm sorry, it's not bad faith, but I didn't understand what you said.--Ashurbanippal (talk) 06:17, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for January 20

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Yitzhak Kaduri, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Yehoshua (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Revert

The page Battle of Shuja'iyya, like all I/P articles, is under ARBPIA's I Revert rule which you just broke https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Battle_of_Shuja%27iyya&curid=43349719&diff=644382909&oldid=644374773 here, which therefore you are obliged to revert. The fact has been mentioned on the A/E page.Nishidani (talk) 13:00, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
