Disambiguation link notification for April 9

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Baienfurt, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Berg. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

About Jewish community of Worms

Hi Minden500,

This English language Wikipedia article appears to be a translation of the German language Wikipedia's article de:Jüdische Gemeinde Worms.

If that is so, it is required to be "attributed" - please see Help:Translation#License requirements

Please let me know if I can assist you with with this, or anything else related to the English language Wikipedia.

I jotted in the first edit summary "From German entry". I regret if that was not adequate. I appended it to the talk page, if there is something further I should do, please inform me. Minden500 (talk) 10:16, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's okay; we are all new at "inter-wiki" translations at some point and now you know what the first Edit Summary should be on the next article you translate from some Wikipedia into EN-WP. Did you know that EN-WP has a WikiProject dedicated to inter-wiki translations? Here you can ask questions or make comments regarding articles within this scope. You are warmly welcome to join the conversation: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Intertranswiki. Happy editing! --Rosiestep (talk) 19:12, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Minden5001 and Rosiestep: Required attribution added at Talk:Jewish Community of Erfurt. Also, at fr.wp, it appears that they've decided that editors can refer to each other as "tu" instead of "vous". Is there something similar over at de.wp? Shirt58 (talk) 🦘 09:59, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I do not grasp the inquiry with French Wikipedia. With regards to attribution, Help:Translation#License requirements declares that "Additionally you may:

(b) Place the template Translated page" on the talk page, but it is not compulsory. Minden500 (talk) 10:10, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks, I have resolved the link. Minden500 (talk) 06:39, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, 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.

Additionally, you must be logged-in, have 500 edits and an account age of 30 days, and are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on a page within this topic.

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.

Blocked as a sockpuppet

Wikipedia's technical logs indicate that this user account has been or may be used abusively as a sockpuppet of User:Icewhiz per the evidence presented at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Icewhiz. It has been blocked indefinitely from editing to prevent abuse.

Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but not for illegitimate reasons, and any contributions made while evading blocks or bans may be reverted or deleted.
If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you should review the guide to appealing blocks, and then appeal your block by adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|Your reason here ~~~~}}. Note that anything you post in your unblock request will be public, so you may alternatively use the Unblock Ticket Request System to submit an appeal if it contains information that must be private.

Administrators: Checkusers have access to confidential system logs not accessible by the public or by administrators due to the Wikimedia Foundation's privacy policy. You must not loosen or remove this block, or issue an IP block exemption, without consulting with a checkuser or the Arbitration Committee. Administrators who undo checkuser blocks without permission from a checkuser or the Arbitration Committee may be summarily desysopped.

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Minden500 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I am startled at this indictment. I am not familiar with Icewhiz, and I have no acquaintance with any of the other users named in the present complaint. I am trying to understand precisely for what am I being implicated and how you advanced that outcome, as I edit chiefly different subjects and articles as the other users. I feel very exasperated that I have been implicated on these erroneous charges. Minden500 (talk) 10:04, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

Given the evidence presented at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Icewhiz, and even more so the technical evidence available for review bu checkusers on the CU-wiki, I believe that it is more likely than not that this account is being used contrary to WP:SOCK, regardless if the connection to Icewhiz is accurate.

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
