Minor edits

A check to the minor edit box signifies that only superficial differences exist between the current and previous versions: typographical corrections, formatting and presentational changes, rearrangement of text without modification of content, etc. A minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. You're marking things as minor which don't meet these criteria. And of course some things as minor that are. Dougweller (talk) 07:28, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

Edit warring

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Ramat Shlomo. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. nableezy - 13:34, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

You have been reported to the edit-warring noticeboard. You can see this here. nableezy - 14:21, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

Reverting

Hi. It looks like you did do a handful of reverts which is not cool. Sean Holyland is level headed so I would assume there is an OK reason if he did so. Nableezy should not be making more than one revert in 24 hours according to Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/Palestine-Israel articles and he will probably stick to that. As a newer user you should familiarize yourself with the possible sanctions just to make sure you don't fall in to any bad habits. Realistically, there is something wrong if it can't be handled on the talk page after one revert anyways. Welcome to Misplaced Pages (a couple months late with this greeting obviously) and try to have a good time. Edit wars are bad but let me know if you ever need a hand finding sources.Cptnono (talk) 15:24, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

WP:ARBPIA

As a result of an arbitration case, the Arbitration Committee has acknowledged long-term and persistent problems in the editing of articles related to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, broadly understood. 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 Misplaced Pages, 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. — Malik Shabazz /_Stalk 19:30, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

Israelites

Thank you for your recent contribution to the article Israelites. As I've made a major set of edits there, I would value your comments on the Talk page about these. Thanks...PiCo (talk) 06:47, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
