Edits

Hello. I believe I'm under a Zionist ban. Can I ask for this to be lifted for editing on Elazar Shach? Chesdovi (talk) 17:59, 30 September 2021 (UTC)

User:Chesdovi, please link to where this ban was imposed. Also, if there have been any complaints about editing of Elazar Shach on the admin boards, or AE, can you link to those discussions? Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 04:51, 2 October 2021 (UTC)
here. I am not aware of Elazar Shach at AE. I also ask for the Western Wall ban to be lifted. Chesdovi (talk) 20:35, 2 October 2021 (UTC)
User:Spartaz is the admin who imposed your 2016 topic ban from Zionism, which appears to still be in effect. Why not consult him? I don't have the authority to undo his action. Also, per this comment from a 2016 ARCA it seems you are still under an indefinite ban from WP:ARBPIA. There is material in the Elazar Shach article about the Arab-Israeli conflict.

You appear to have made only 277 edits after returning from a 6m block for tban violations that expired in March. With respect you need to show that you can edit appropriately in less contentious areas before asking to amend any of your 3 topic bans. Indeed, I can't see how your existing edits to this article, which appears to be about a renowned antizionist is not already either a tban vio in some way but I'm happy to leave that with a reminder that you need to be cautious about your bans.

@Spartaz: My 6m block was implemented by an Admin who did not (as far as I can recall) have the courtesy to first discuss the issue with me. I was blocked for violating WP:ARBPIA for (among other innocuous edits) adding that David Ben Gurion ate pork. When I queried it, I was told to stop wikilawyering. So I left it. When I returned, I explained to the Admin how the original ban, as I was led to understand, did not preclude me from adding that DBG ate pork. He then justified the block saying DBG would have gotten the pork rashers from Christian Arabs.... (?!?) and eventually told me to find another Admin as my appeals were (again) becoming too "taxing" for him. So please take my edits from April 2020 onwards into account, as I believe the last block was unfairly implemented. Chesdovi (talk) 20:11, 6 October 2021 (UTC)
I did not impose either of your bans and this page is not AE, so this discussion ought to be somewhere else. EdJohnston (talk) 21:29, 6 October 2021 (UTC)

Request for Rollbackers Rights

@EdJohnston: Hi , Please give rollbackers right because i am remove vandalism on articles and userpage and talkpage i am already request on WP:PERM.Plase check me my contribution and gave me this right.Best Regards.Maniik 14:58, 4 October 2021 (UTC)

Hello Lazy Maniik. Thanks for repairing the recent vandalism to my talk page. You have requested rollback and you seem to be on the right track. I would only hesitate with rollback because, when you work with other users, you should be leaving them messages in correct English. For example, here your English was not quite right. ("No indication of Notability, No Meets WP:NOLP". It should be "does not meet WP:NOLP"). If you are leaving instructions for new users you don't want them to be confused. EdJohnston (talk) 18:46, 4 October 2021 (UTC)
EdJohnston Sir i don't know much english and only i can talk to anyone in english but i have a urge to understand english i only know simple english speaking i am indian i am proud of that yes i am wrong But I have given the link of the page correctly, doesn't any person make mistakes in your whole life? But I assure you that in future I will not make such mistake again. If I removed so much vandalism on Hindi wikipedia then I don't have to suffer so much, why am I asking you rollbacker because I edit on wikipedia from mobile, and twinkle and redwarn can be used only by destop site.Best Regards.

Revert

Hello, EdJohnston I never meant to revert your edit nor did I notice that I reverted your edit. I have just seen it when you restored it. I think I probably clicked it accidentally when I searched my watchlist, my deepest apologies for the mistake.— TheWikiholic (talk) 02:55, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

No problem. Thanks for your note. EdJohnston (talk) 14:20, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

Concern about edits by User:Yusiffuctd

I am sure you are tired of me posting these, but user:Yusiffuctd has, since 8 October, been edit warring(about every 2-3 days) the term(s) "Political Muslim Victory as Muslims remain in control of Jerusalem" into the infobox of the Third Crusade. Yusiffuctd has been reverted 9 times by 4 different editors.

On the Bajaur Campaign, Yusiffuctd has been reverted, since 4 October, 3 times by 2 different editors.

On the Eighth Crusade, Yusiffuctd has been revert, since 9 October, 5 times by 2 different editors.

I am unsure what the issue is concerning Yusiffuctd, but the slow edit warring on Third Crusade is becoming somewhat disruptive.

Thank you for your patience in this matter. --Kansas Bear (talk) 16:20, 22 October 2021 (UTC)

I have left a note for Yusiffuctd. EdJohnston (talk) 16:28, 22 October 2021 (UTC)

Draw broader attention to a move request

Hello Ed, may I ask for your advice? Is there any way to draw more third party attention to a Move Request I have initiated, and which appears to be far more controversial than I have imagined. A third-party input from the broader Misplaced Pages community will very much be needed here to make sure that the Move Request doesn't reflect strictly the usual local Balkan topic area consensus but a broader consensus. Any ideas where can I ask for such third-party attention? A particular noticeboard? And how to notify them? Thank you. --- SilentResident 09:47, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
