Christianity in Iraq

Please do not remove properly sourced material with no explanation (or with the claim that the material is unsourced, when it plainly is sourced). If you dispute the material, discuss the matter at Talk:Christianity in Iraq. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 11:25, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That section of the article is pure garbage; its only cited source is an anti-Kurd author from the 1980s. Kurds didn't raid Upper Mesopotamia after the rise of Islam. In fact, Kurds were already in Upper Mesopotamia when Muslims conquered the region, as written by Al-Baladhuri (died 892 AD). Arabs fought Kurds in the regions of Mosul.

Mosul

Nineveh and surrounding villages. ^Umair ibn-al-Khiattab

appointed ‘Utbah ibn-Farkad as-Snlami giowraor of al-

Mausil in the year 20. The people of Ninawa ^ fought with

him, but he seized their fort (i. e. the eastern one) by force

and crossed the Dijlah (Tigris). The people of the other

fort made peace with him on condition of giving jizyah,

with permission that whoever preferred, might depart with

those who emigrated. He found in the territory of al-

Mausil some monasteries the inmates of which secured peace

from him by giving the jizyah.

‘Utbah afterwards: conquered al-Marj ^ and its villages,

the land of Baihudhra,^ Ba'adhra,^ Hibtun,® al-Hiyanah,®

al-Ma^allah/ Damir, and all the strongholds of the Kurds*.

He advanced as far as Ban'atha® of Hazzah® and con-

quered it. ArezKader (talk) 17:29, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did at Christianity in Iraq, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your sandbox for that. If you dispute the content, discuss the matter on the talk page. Do not continue to just remove material that you don't like without a discussion.

Notice of edit warring noticeboard discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. The thread is Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring#User:ArezKader reported by User:WikiDan61 (Result: ). Thank you. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 21:40, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

April 2024

You have been blocked from editing from certain pages (Christianity in Iraq) for a period of 2 weeks for edit warring. The block does not prevent you from continuing to discuss at Talk:Christianity in Iraq, the article's talk page.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 23:07, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is completely unfair. Initially, I provided primary sources because I didn't know that Wikipedia prefers scholarly sources over primary ones. Then I provided a scholarly source. Please check "A People Without a State: The Kurds from the Rise of Islam to the Dawn of Nationalism" by Michael Eppel. 'Chapter 1. Kurdish Distinctiveness under Arab, Persian, and Turkish Dominance' is partially available online—just Google it. This scholarly source debunks that section of the article.

Hello ArezKader, thank you for discussing this at Talk:Christianity in Iraq. Please continue finding a consensus before editing the article directly. The block only enforces discussion instead of reverts; it does not prevent you from making these arguments on the article's talk page and following the usual dispute resolution approaches like requesting a third opinion or starting an RfC. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 21:59, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Arne Slot, you may be blocked from editing. Shadow4dark (talk) 22:34, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.
