Warnings

December 2011

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. One of the core policies of Wikipedia is that articles should always be written from a neutral point of view. A contribution you made to Palestinian people appears to carry a non-neutral point of view, and your edit may have been changed or reverted to correct the problem. Please remember to observe this. Thank you. Be warned - this is a very sensitive subject on Wikipedia. Any attempt to push a particular point of view will not get a sympathetic hearing.

You need to make a choice

Wikipedia is only an encyclopedia- a simple collection of verified facts. That's not especially interesting for some people, who are more interested in the excitement of their opinions and viewpoints. If you'd like to, you are welcome to help us write the encyclopedia. It seems like you have opinions about Palestine that are too strong to allow you to edit in a neutral way about that subject, so if you decide to help with the encyclopedia, it would be a good idea for you to focus on subjects you don't have such strong feelings about. There's still useful work to be done at List of Irish cheeses, for example. On the other hand, if what you really want to do is spread the word about what terrible, terrible people Palestinians are, you can do that- but not at Wikipedia. It that's your goal, your best choice would be to start a blog, which will allow you to freely share your opinions with the world. You can let us know what you decide with your next few edits. If I see that your next few edits are neutral, verified, and useful, I'll be very happy to have you as a volunteer at Wikipedia. If I see that your next few edits are pushing your political opinions, I'll block you from editing, to make it easier for you to move on from Wikipedia to a place where your opinions can be shared freely. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 13:36, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 31 hours for persistent violations of the neutral point of view policy. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

Your choice

I have reviewed your recent edits, and I see that you chose to accept a block, and to go start a blog on which to share your opinions about what terrible people Palestinians are instead of making neutral, verified edits at Wikipedia. I respect your choice, but to give you time to reflect on it, I've blocked you for just 31 hours. That way, if you change your mind, you can come back and make useful edits at Wikipedia tomorrow. If, on reflection, you decide that you still aren't willing to follow the neutral point of view policy, then I (or another administrator) will re-block you permanently. I want to advise you that if you use this talk page to push your point of view, your ability to edit this talk page will be disabled. That simply isn't what Wikipedia is for. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 13:43, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Believe me, I sympathize- I was raised in a very conservative Christian family, and I remember the shock when I first learned that some of the tenets of my religion weren't factually accurate. For me, it was evolution- it sounds like, for you, it's history. I understand how hard and upsetting it is to learn that religious truth isn't the same thing as fact, and I wish you good luck in dealing with your confused, angry feelings about that. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 13:47, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I see you are anti-Semitic as well as ignorant, then. I am an atheist, by the way, and I know very much of history like how the Jews were ethnically cleansed from Israel by the Romans and then the land was settled by Arab colonists in the Jews' absence who are now referred to as "Palestinians." See Muslim conquest of Syria#Palestine.

"Anti-semitic" is a pretty powerful insult, so don't look for any more help from me. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 13:52, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You are saying that the Arabs are indigenous to Israel, which is an anti-Semitic Communist/Islamist lie.— Preceding unsigned comment added by De-Mythifier (talk • contribs) 13:55, 21 December 2011‎

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abuse of editing privileges. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 16:53, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You were warned above that "If, on reflection, you decide that you still aren't willing to follow the neutral point of view policy, then I (or another administrator) will re-block you permanently." And lo, it has come to pass. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 16:54, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
