Hello Marokwitz. I noticed that you have been editing extensively articles related to Arab-Israeli conflict. In the past, the conflict in the wider world has been reflected in acrimonious disputes on Wikipedia and, for that reason, special behavioural rules and norms have been enforced for these articles. There follows a boilerplate notification of these special rules; please understand that this is not a judgment of your edits but necessary to ensure that you are not being asked to adhere to norms of behaviour of which you are unaware. |
|||
==== Notice ==== |
|||
As a result of [[Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Palestine-Israel articles|an arbitration case]], the [[WP:AC|Arbitration Committee]] has acknowledged long-term and persistent problems in the editing of articles related to the [[Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Palestine-Israel articles#Area of conflict|Palestinian-Israeli conflict]], broadly understood. As a result, the Committee has enacted broad [[Wikipedia:General sanctions|editing restrictions]], described [[Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Palestine-Israel articles#Discretionary sanctions|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 Wikipedia, 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. |

Revision as of 15:20, 25 May 2010
CSD/AFD-tagged articles
Please don't add subsequent tags to CSD/AFD nominated articles such as you did with orphan tags here and here. Editors have reviewed these articles and nominated for them for one of the categories of deletion. Adding orphan tags does not help mend their particular issues and may only confuse the authors and new contributors. Thanks. Plutonium27 (talk) 07:49, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
OK. Marokwitz (talk) 08:01, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
Orphan Tag
I was just thinking that the orphan tag you put on the List of tribology organizations page should be a different tag. The page is in the process of development, as well as the relating pages. An 'under construction' tag might be a better tag. I was going to put one on, but I am pretty new to this, and so wasn't sure how to add a tag. The particular page isn't yet so wonderful, but the tribology page linking to it was starting to get cluttered with research groups trying to get their name known. The end goal is something like nanotechnology.

Great, thank you, gregzore
I will remove orphan tag from my article, because this: we don't know everything about ancient peoples. We usually knows their parentage, or their spuses and children, but we don't know anything else. Kagemi the vizier is an example. By--Mychele Trempetich (talk) 07:57, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
- Mychele, I think you misunderstood the meaning of this tag. It doesn't mean that the subject of the article was actually an Orphan. It means that the article is not linked to from other articles in Wikipedia. Marokwitz (talk) 09:17, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
I removed the prod after sourcing it and explaining its notability as a Top-40 single. Bearian (talk) 21:00, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
Peacockery
Hello. I reinstated the word "prolific" in the Kevin Phillips (footballer) article, and will do so again, because it's an accurate description of the nature of his goalscoring while with Sunderland A.F.C. which he did not reproduce with his next club. He scored goals, but failed to score goals "prolifically". There are a quite a lot of things that need cleaning up in that article – it's somewhere on my increasingly-long mental list of things to do – but removing that particular use of the word "prolific", thereby losing the gist of the sentence, isn't one of them. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 16:11, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
At the Raith Rovers article the term legendary may not sufficiently explain the character of Jim Baxter's status but is not really a peacock term if you follow the link. Sources there would be supportive. Replacing the term with simply successful isn't really sufficient. However I've changed the wording to "later to be regarded by some as Scotland’s greatest ever football player", again supported at the main article. Hope that meets your approval. Mutt Lunker (talk) 17:02, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
- Hi Mutt, thanks for letting me know. "By some" is a weasel word. See WP:WEASEL. In my view such wording is inappropriate for Wikipedia, or at least requires a citation or direct quotation. For now I added an appropriate tag. Marokwitz (talk) 04:02, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
See the cited quote in the first para of this section of the main article: Jim_Baxter#Legacy. Mutt Lunker (talk) 09:27, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi, the IslamicJihadRockets.jpg image is copyrighted material taken Saturday, Dec. 20, 2008 by AP Photo/Ashraf Amra. See the Boston Globe. I'm going to tag for speedy deletion on commons but it may be possible to use it in Wikipedia under a fair use license. Sean.hoyland - talk 04:05, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
- Journalist Amir Farshad Ebrahimi has released this photo using creative commons license on flickr. I think it is legitimate. Marokwitz (talk) 05:25, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
- It's not his to release. It belongs to AP. I wish we could load all of the AP photos from OCL to commons and use them but we can't. Sean.hoyland - talk 05:59, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
