I think Misplaced Pages is heavily biased toward the White Western Judeo-Christian POV, and any dissent of this "Mainstream" view is slapped down and sanctioned. So I will use my talk page, where I feel I will be safe from sanctions, to develop evidence and specific arguments for possible future edits on Misplaced Pages pages concerning the Palestine-Israel conflict. ] (]) 01:50, 28 May 2021 (UTC) | |||

"Every historian knows in 1948 there was a 'displacement' of a huge part of the traditional Palestinian population from Israel, and in larger terms, Palestine as a result of war. There was no 'displacement' of Jews - to the contrary, they consolidated, legitimately in terms of their aims, their presence by massive immigration, as they had for 30 years under the Mandate." - Nishidani, Zionism talk page | |||

"IHRA’s concern is that the hyphenated spelling allows for the possibility of something called ‘Semitism’, which not only legitimizes a form of pseudo-scientific racial classification that was thoroughly discredited by association with Nazi ideology, but also divides the term, stripping it from its meaning of opposition and hatred toward Jews" | |||

Adolf Hitler was a Jew, Latest Study | |||

In 2019, ] published a scholarly paper titled "Aus den Gemeinden von Burgenland: revisiting the question of Adolf Hitler's paternal grandfather" | |||
In July 1938, four months after the annexation of Austria to the German Reich, | |||
Hitler ordered a survey of Döllersheim, Maria Anna’s home town in Upper Austria, ostensibly to | |||
determine whether the terrain was suitable for army maneuvers. In 1939, the citizens were | |||
forcibly evacuated, “and the village, along with its heavily wooded countryside, was blasted | |||
beyond recognition by mortar shells and thoroughly ploughed over by army tanks” (Fischer, | |||
1996: 74, 584n1; see also Hamann, 1996: 73). This episode has never been satisfactorily | |||
explained. No justification has ever been offered for Hitler’s decision to raze to the ground the | |||
entire village in which his grandmother had lived. Perhaps Hitler believed that the town might | |||
contain some clue to his ancestry which he was anxious to obliterate. | |||
https://en.wikipedia.org/D%C3%B6llersheim | |||
The local authorities had bestowed honorary citizenship upon Hitler and re-constructed a grave of honour (Ehrengrab) for his grandmother, though to no avail. In the period up to 31 October 1941, Wehrmacht troops forcibly resettled all 2000 villagers before bombing their houses as part of the training exercises. | |||

"There is no evidence outside of Frank's statements for the existence of a "Leopold Frankenberger" living in Graz in the 1830s, and Frank's story is notably inaccurate on several points such as the claim that Maria Schicklgruber came from "Leonding near Linz", when in fact she came from the hamlet of Strones near the village of Döllersheim" | |||

"while the third possibility, which would historically have been of some importance, can, in the light of the evidence, be discounted." | |||
" But the most serious speculation about Hitler's supposed Jewish background has occurred since the Second World War, and is directly traceable to the memoirs of the leading Nazi lawyer and Governor General of Poland, Hans Frank, dictated in his Nuremberg cell while awaiting the hangman." | |||
"...Hitler declared that he knew, from what his father and grandmother had said, that his grandfather was not the Jew from Graz, but because his grandmother and her subsequent husband were so poor they had conned the Jew into believing he was the father and into paying for the boy's support." | |||
"With regard to the story of Hitler's alleged Jewish grandfather, they are valueless. Hitler's grandfather, whoever he was, was not a Jew from Graz" | |||
"In any case, as regards Adolf the only significance is that, were Nepomuk his grandfather, the family descent would have been even more incestuous than if his grandfather had been Johann Georg: for Nepomuk was also the grandfather of Adolf's mother." | |||
https://archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes.com/books/first/k/kershaw-hitler.html | |||
"Dr Sax told MailOnline: “I have been thinking about the fact that neo-Nazis are offended by the suggestion that Hitler had a Jewish grandfather, because they hate Jews. | |||
“Jews are often offended by the suggestion that Hitler had a Jewish grandfather, because they hate Hitler. | |||
“But now, as nearly a lifetime has passed since the end of the Third Reich, maybe we are free at last to ask — not what is offensive, or what is not offensive — but what is true?”" | |||

subject: Re: Debate: Are Jews a "race" or not a "race" ... Misplaced Pages debating new paper ... The Geography of Jewish Ethnogenesis | |||
Dear Steve, | |||
Thank you for this. A few other thoughts - though I should say that I am not at all an expert on this topic. | |||
The great majority of Jews in the Roman Empire before Christianity did not live in Palestine. Judaism had been a very successful missionary religion for hundreds of years. "Jews, both ethnic Jews and converts, became a significant part of the Roman Empire's population (perhaps as much as ten percent) in the first century CE.": https://en.wikipedia.org/History_of_the_Jews_in_the_Roman_Empire | |||
Many Jews remained in Palestine following the expulsion by the Romans in AD 70 of the Judaeans, following the Judaean revolt (hence, for example, the Palestinian Talmud, composed mainly in Galilee, 3rd-5th centuries AD). See: https://www.thetorah.com/article/judaeas-leaderless-revolt-against-rome | |||
With the rise of Christianity, many Jews in Palestine converted to Christianity - hence the existence of two very closely related post-Christian languages in the area, Jewish Palestinian Aramaic and Christian Palestinian Aramaic: https://en.wikipedia.org/Christian_Palestinian_Aramaic | |||
Over centuries following the Arab conquests, Christians and Jews in Palestine largely converted to Islam, and became Arabic-speaking - giving rise to the current Palestinian population; e.g: https://www.jstor.org/stable/3632444?seq=1 | |||
Non-European (non-Ashkenazi) Jews are, I believe, very different genetically from European Jews. Yemeni Jews are, I believe, indistinguishable genetically from Yemeni Muslims (though it is very difficult to extract this fact from what seem to be the rather obfuscatory general discussions of Yemeni Jewish genetics). For two centuries before the rise of Islam, the Kingdom of Himyar in Yemen had been officially Jewish: https://en.wikipedia.org/Himyarite_Kingdom#Jewish_monarchy Kamal Salibi's book The Bible came from Arabia contains a very large amount of information about Arab tribes in Western Arabia which claim Jewish origin. (The book's central thesis, that the Bible came from Arabia, is indubitably wrong; but that doesn't invalidate the information about claimed tribal origins.) | |||
With best wishes, | |||
James | |||

Hans Frank, Memoirs, suggested edit | |||
From Kindle search | |||
Hans Frank writes .... | |||
See ... page 350, location 6399 | |||
"But who was Hitler according to his blood?" | |||
"Racially, Gruber described Hitler as typically non-Nordic, Eastern Slavic." | |||
"On presentation of a letter, he told me that this was a "disgusting blackmail story" by one of his most disgusting relatives, concerning his, Hitler's, ancestry. If I am not mistaken, it was a son of his stepbrother Alois Hitler (from Hitler's father's other marriage) who quietly hinted that "in connection with certain press statements there would be an interest in certain circumstances in our family history" | |||
"These press releases, on alluded to here was that "Hitler had Jewish blood in his veins and therefore had little legitimation to be an anti-Semite" | |||
"But these blackmailing references from relatives were somehow questionable. And I investigated the matter confidentially on behalf of Hitler. All in all, I have established the following from all possible sources: Hitler's father was the illegitimate child of a household in Graz Cook named Schickelgruber from Leonding near Linz" | |||
"But what is absolutely strange about the story is this: this cook Schickelgruber, Adolf Hitler's grandmother, was employed in a Jewish family household called Frankenberger when she gave birth to her child. And this Frankenberger paid alimony for his son, about nineteen-year-old, beginning with the birth and up to the fourteenth year of this child of the Schickelgruber." | |||
"I would like to state the following: Adolf Hitler himself knew that his father did not come from the sexual intercourse between the Schickelgruber and the Graz Jew. He knew it from his father and grandmother's stories." | |||
"That Adolf Hitler certainly had no Jewish blood in his veins seems to me to be so blatantly proven from his whole manner that no further word is needed." | |||
"In addition, this "Graz complex" is the only source from which one could even think of a connection between Hitler and Judaism in terms of ancestry. Of course, there is only one opinion on this - albeit an overwhelmingly justifiable one. Who wanted to present everything to do with knowledge of reality ?! So I have to say that it is not entirely out of the question that Hitler's father was therefore a half-Jew, a result of the extramarital relationship between the Schickelgruber and the Graz Jew. According to this, Hitler himself would have been a quarter Jew. Then his hatred of Jews would have been partly due to blood-angry relatives hate psychosis" | |||

Welcome!
Hello, SteveBenassi, and welcome to Misplaced Pages! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your recent edits to the page Nekhen have not conformed to Misplaced Pages's verifiability policy, and has been or will be removed. Misplaced Pages articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or in other media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Misplaced Pages also has a related policy against including original research in articles. Additionally, all new biographies of living people must contain at least one reliable source.

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, SteveBenassi. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the article Wendigo, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. Editing for the purpose of advertising or promotion is not permitted. 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, company, organization or competitors;
- propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
- disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
- avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
- do your best to comply with Misplaced Pages's content policies.
In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).
Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Since the person who claims to have discovered this so-called carving is named Steve Benassi, it appears that you have a conflict of interest in publicizing this. Meters (talk) 05:49, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
- Since you link your user page to one of Steve Benassi's off-Misplaced Pages pages, it is clear that you are claiming to be Steve Benassi. Meters (talk) 05:54, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
January 2018
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Wendigo. 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.
Please be particularly aware that Misplaced Pages's policy on edit warring states:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
- 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; 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. Meters (talk) 05:50, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
- You have added this image four times now. It has been discussed on the talk page and there is clear consensus that this picture should no tbe in the article. Stop adding it. Meters (talk) 05:51, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
ANI Notice
There is currently a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Skllagyook (talk) 04:44, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
May 2021
Hi SteveBenassi! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Misplaced Pages – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you. Shrike (talk) 06:31, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
Your recent editing history at Eran Elhaik shows that you are currently 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. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

- Just a word of advice. Don't revert anything. You never know - wait a day or a week or whatever and someone out there might do, or support, the edit you yourself wish to make. No one is alone. Yes, Misplaced Pages content can be a numbers game at time, but getting sucked into revert or edit wars, rather than exercising patience and doing a lot of small but incremental work no one would challenge, is, in those cases, is self-defeating. Some good edits take months, as one works through the various processes. It's crazy, and not the norm, but detachment, rather than being cornered, is what stable editing requires.Nishidani (talk) 07:56, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
Thanks for the feedback, I admire your dedication, intelligence, and heart, is there anyone else out there like you? I intentionally made a scene to draw attention to the Ostrer issue, I knew I would be put in wiki-Jail for a day or two, I thought it was worth it, and it worked, Huldra came to the rescue. My grandparents are from north of Venice, they were shepherds in the Dolomites where they filmed the Pink Panther. I am a Computer Engineer in Minnesota, I developed a new way to do archaeology on my laptop. See Example 11, Giza Pyramids map to the Strait of Magellan,

Reverting to this edit again or anything broadly construed as edit-warring will result in a longer block. OhNoitsJamie 20:57, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

Moving discussion here from Talk:Wendigo
Name Taboo?
I've noticed a few trending posts on social media from Algonquin, etc., folks claiming that saying the name is taboo for fear of attracting it (much like the etymology for "bear"), to the point where some refuse to write out the name fully (replacing letters with asterisks, etc.). Is anyone aware of any sources that may or may not back this claim up? Noir LeSable (talk) 14:26, 25 October 2020 (UTC)
Yes, I met with a young reporter in his office and an Elder (conferenced in on the phone) in 2019 at the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe in Bemidji Minnesota to discuss the photos of the Wendigo Manitou archaeology recently discovered on the North Shore of Lake Superior in Tettegouche State Park, and at Wolf Ridge ELC, and at the "Magnetic Rock Minnesota" Trail on the US-Canada border near Gunflint Lake northeast of Grand Marais Minnesota. While waiting, two of the staff at the front desk knew me from my previous emails to the Band and we discussed the Wendigo briefly. They told me that the Elders tell them not even say the word Wendigo because bad things might happen. So they did not say the word Wendigo more than a few times before they stopped. See photos of the Wendigo carvings ...
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_aaoLKe9yOpJd_NtxwgeHSI29W1VQ7XSlHIXIMaVZJk/edit
I grew up in Silver Bay Minnesota and found a mountain size carving in what is now Tettegouche in 1974. In 2014 I took photos of everything I had found and sent them to the State of Minnesota, they interviewed me, and eventually published a link to my page in their August 2019 newsletter, page 5, "A Facebook page about the Marshall Mountain Triple Point map in northern Minnesota and its interpretation". All documents can be seen here ...
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1_C4dVzq7bSOCM-JzBDAWtM4fb1CxaTAm
So, long story short, I believe the Wendigo myth, oral history, is based on real events that began during the last glacial maximum. We have a theory, the Solutrean Hypothesis, https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/43094925.pdf, DNA evidence, Haplogroup X2g present day Ojibwe-Egyptian in the Great Lakes region, X2j present day Egyptian, and X2-225 from Egypt which is 21,000 years old, and archaeology, the Wendigo Manitou carving of a Human Face with a Beard, and Magnetic Rock Minnesota, the Triple Divide Watershed Map Stone, and the Brule Glacial Spillway in Wisconsin, which form 3 points in a straight line 124 miles apart, creating a whole new category of archaeology, Great Circle Navigation Archaeology. See Example 1 Minnesota Triple Divide, and Example 11 Giza Pyramids map to Strait of Magellan.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zc-33fFcEigXncfuApLUyaA6ANRJFDhksMohilFknQ8/edit
I tried to put a photo of the Wendigo carving up but it was taken down. See ...

Request reason:
Please copy my appeal to the arbitration enforcement noticeboard or administrators' noticeboard.
Dear Fences,
I am new to Misplaced Pages, it is a lot more complicated than I could ever imagine.
I am not a good writer, and I am not a Vandal.
I care deeply about the fate of the world, and I am doing everything I can to stop the next war, by getting the truth out there. I have been doing talkbacks on Israeli news sites for over 10 years, but have stopped because the far-right in Israel doesn't care about the truth. Israel is a powerful country, they have a lot of support from Christians and Jews, especially in the US Congress, and in the Oval Office with the UN Veto. I know, and Jimmy Wales knows, Israel has been training their population on how to use Misplaced Pages, and there is a coordinated effort by the Israeli government to promote the Zionist narrative and stop all legitimate criticism of Israel, including on Misplaced Pages.
Three Users of unknown background are consistently blocking me and others, Shrike, NonReproBlue, and Skllagyook. They are probably Israeli or Zionist trained SockPuppet civilians.
I do not understand what I can and cannot do since I only have 100 edits and need 500 to avoid your sanctions. Are you saying my talk edit would not be a violation if I had 500 edits? "Are most modern day Jews or their ancestors indigenous to the Levant? The answer is no."
I was specifically reacting to a user who said Jews are indigenous based a magazine article.
https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Talk:Zionism&diff=next&oldid=1024907542
I thought I could counter that with an actual paper that says most Jews are not indigenous to the Levant.
I was not trying to be provocative. I was trying to be to the point.
You say "You are allowed to post at that talk page under the ARBPIA restrictions only to make edits requests and constructively discuss the article content. Your post was a provocation, not a constructive comment. I advised you to stay away from such editing and discussions until you were extended confirmed; you chose to ignore this."
I really don't know what extended confirmed means. You say I can only make request to edit the page, and constructively discuss, which I thought I was doing. From now on I will make specific edit request and constructively discuss.
I will not appeal this 72 hour block, because it is a waste of everyone's time, and I know I will lose.
I came to Misplaced Pages with a new paper that supports Eran Elhaik's position that Jews are not a "race". I admire him for going against the grain at great risk to himself. He has helped me with my archaeology, haplogroup x, via emails in the past.
I will not be silenced. I will play by the rules, once I understand them, and know where the red lines are.
Thank You,
Steve Benassi
p.s. nuke them from space, its the only way to be sure

Decline reason:
This is not an unblock request. 331dot (talk) 16:46, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
- Hi Steve, I was going to comment here but I see you've posted the above already. Please take this advice below to heart, because it may be your last opportunity to avoid a WP:NOTHERE block or a topic ban.
- "Playing by the rules" is good, but Misplaced Pages:Gaming the system and Misplaced Pages :Wikilawyering are not - so be sure to learn the difference, i.e. believe in the spirit of collaborative editing to create a neutral encyclopedia. Coming here specifically to counter Zionists is not a good approach, see WP:GREATWRONGS and WP:BATTLEGROUND. Your comment on my talk page that "You lost" to someone involved in an RSN discussion I'm afraid shows the wrong mindset. You're allowed to have interests as a Wikipedian, but bringing a strong point of view doesn't help, see WP:POVPUSH. Trying to add one particular review article that supports your view of Jewish genetic history isn't the correct approach, see WP:NPOV and WP:FRINGE. It can be part of the mix of what sources can be used, but you also need to acknowledge the mainstream view in scientific debates.
- WP:EXTENDEDCONFIRMED explains what extended confirmed means. Certain pages are protected from editing by users who have fewer than 500 edits or who have been editing for under 30 days. Both criteria need to be met. The Arbitration Committee (WP:ARBCOM) have also put in place rules in certain topics, often to do with nationalism, to restrict editing to extended confirmed users. This is because that topic has a history of problems. Admins are enabled under Arbitration Enforcement to impose sanctions in those areas without discussion, to limit disruption.
- When your block expires, I advise you to find something adjacent to the areas that have caused you problems, perhaps archaeology or genetic genealogy, but nothing relating to Israel, Palestine, or Zionism until you've properly taken on board how to be a Wikipedian. Fences&Windows 19:06, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
A friendly warning
Your pushing of Sax's debunked theory about Hitler's Jewish ancestry is beginning to be WP:DISRUPTIVE. Sax is patently unqualified in the subject area, and no qualified subject expert I am aware of accepts his contention that Hans Frank was correct. In their commentary on Adolf Hitler the editors of that page have thoroughly and completely rejected your contention, and yet you continue to press for it.
I advise you that if you continue on this path, it is inevitably going to end up with your being reported for WP:IDHT behavior, at the very least. Please consider dropping this issue now before it potentially leads to a sanction against you. Beyond My Ken (talk) 18:11, 5 June 2021 (UTC)
- @Beyond My Ken: I am not trying to be disruptive. I brought 2 new papers to Misplaced Pages that no one seems to have known about, the Sax paper, and the Yardumian paper, like new technology new information can seem disruptive. Zero0000 said "If Sax is correct, the matter is again open. However, until there is more serious research on the subject it should be considered fringe." And I accept that.
