The lead of Jerusalem can't be modified without holding a new WP:RFC discussion

This is a note about your recent edit which changes the lead of Jerusalem. Please see this item from Misplaced Pages:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions/Log#Palestine-Israel articles:

• Jerusalem is placed under the following page-level restriction: As the results of Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment/Jerusalem regarding the article's lead represent the community's consensus at a well-attended discussion, a new request for comments must be undertaken and reach consensus prior to any changes being made to the article's lead section. AE: Seraphimblade 13:25, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

I'm also alerting you to the discretionary sanctions under WP:ARBPIA. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 12:54, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

Jerusalem is covered by discretionary sanctions under WP:ARBPIA

Please carefully read this information:

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.

Israeli railways and discussing changes

Hi ה-זפר,

First of all, if you want to make a major change to a template, like here, certainly a navigation template that appears in many articles, please discuss the changes before making the edit, not vice versa.

In any case, I have opened a central discussion in your place, you are welcome to state your rationale for removing most of the template. —Ynhockey 10:08, 14 September 2016 (UTC)

1rr

There is a one revert rule per 24 hours on all Arab-Israeli articles.

You have repeatedly violated this and are refusing to get consensus at talk pages and instead resorted to edit warring. If you do this one more time I will file an arbitration enforcement complaint. --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 19:41, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

The PA did not turn into the SoP

There was a debate on this last October and although it didn't reach a clear consensus, the claim that the PNA was transformed to the SoP was removed because of the lack of sources and the fact the Palestinian President himself said he is not going to dismantle the PA during a UN speech in 30 Setptember 2015.--Bolter21 (talk to me) 23:51, 24 September 2016 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for September 26

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Royal Monetary Authority of Bhutan, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page BTN (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.

Misplaced Pages and copyright

Hello ה-זפר, and welcome to Misplaced Pages. All or some of your addition(s) to Bhutanese ngultrum has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Misplaced Pages, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

• You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Misplaced Pages:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
• Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Misplaced Pages:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
• Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Misplaced Pages:Copyrights. You may also want to review Misplaced Pages:Copy-paste.
• If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Misplaced Pages:Donating copyrighted materials.
• In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Misplaced Pages:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
• Also note that Misplaced Pages articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Misplaced Pages project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Misplaced Pages:Copying within Misplaced Pages.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. /wiae /tlk 22:10, 27 September 2016 (UTC)

Copying licensed material requires proper attribution

It appears that you have added material to the article Bhutanese ngultrum using content from this web page. While you are welcome to re-use licensed content, here or elsewhere, Misplaced Pages's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying from other compatibly-licensed web pages, please at minimum mention in an edit summary at the new page where you got the content. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied licensed material before, even if it was a long time ago, please go back and provide attribution. Let me know if you have any questions. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 13:29, 29 September 2016 (UTC)

Also, I have removed part of your addition to the history section, as the content is almost identical to the web page here. All content you add to this wiki needs to be written on your own words. People who repeatedly violate our copyright policy are blocked from editing. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 13:32, 29 September 2016 (UTC)

@Diannaa, I understand, but you could help to rewrite the information, as it was important. Thank you. ה-זפר 13:36, 29 September 2016 (UTC)

I have done it this time, but you really have to learn how to do it yourself. Here are some suggestiosn: One thing I find that works for me is to read over the source material and then pretend I am verbally describing the topic to a friend in my own words. It's been suggested that not so much as three words should be together in the same order as the source. Stuff should also be presented in a different order where possible. Summarize rather than paraphrase. There's some reading material on this topic at Misplaced Pages:Close paraphrasing and/or have a look at the material at Purdue. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 14:15, 29 September 2016 (UTC)

@Diannaa, Thank you for the link, it really will help me to make my English better. I have followed the guide from you link and rewritten the History section of Ngultrum. It's nice to know you're a librarian, my cousin is a librarian too. Regards. ה-זפר 14:40, 29 September 2016 (UTC)
