curious about an edit

Hi Mor2 - could you please explain your rationale behind this edit? It concerns me for a number of reasons.

First off - disconcertingly - it seems to add material that is not in the cited source. You added the phrase "according to Palestinian sources," but the Reuters article that the sentence used as a source doesn't say 'according to Palestinian sources, civilian houses were hit.' The cited Reuters article just says 'dozens of houses and apartment blocks' were among the 'targets hit so far.' Your edit appears to be trying to push a particular point of view by inappropriately disclaiming well-cited information.

Second off: your edit also seems to misconstrue what WP:SYNTHESIS is. I see nothing inappropriately synthetic in the sentence as it stood before you edited it. The sentence did not inappropriately join statements made in multiple reliable sources to advance a novel argument, which is what WP:SYNTHESIS requires.

I know these edits are a few days old, but I have similar concerns about some of your more recent edits as well, this was just the first one to jump out at me as being really confusing. Would you mind explaining both why you added "according to Palestinian sources" and what exactly you saw as violating WP:SYNTHESIS in the way the sentence originally stood? Thanks, Kevin Gorman (talk) 20:43, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The sentence merged several sources into one. Taking the IDF "number of attacks"(it's actually number of targets, thus number of attacks can be much higher) from the first, using types of attack from the second(with some additions) and adding the list of what was hit from the third(presumably only by IDF). Merged together it implied that the IDF lunched attacks against civilian targets, which was not in the sources(there is a war crime size difference between lunch and hit). To avoid confusion I separated it into two parts according to IDF and Palestinian accounts, this way we see the IDF stated list of targets and what was actually hit.--Mor2 (talk) 23:22, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I can see why you felt that the sentence as it stood was weird (especially the point that the number of attacks could be very different than the number of targets,) but I'm still concerned about your phrasing choice. Reuters isn't a Palestinian source, and didn't caveat their statement (that dozens of houses and apartment blocks were hit) with any phrasing like 'according to Palestinian sources.' When we're dealing with facts as reported in reliable sources, it is not customary for Wikipedians to use our own original phrasing to disclaim information - especially in controversial areas, because even if it is not your intent it can give the impression that the intent is to artificially lessen the impact of the statement or to introduce doubt of its veracity. (There's a policy page about this somewhere, but I cannot remember its link offhand.) If you agree with me, would you mind rewriting the passage? It should be possible to come up with a version that both doesn't have problems with conflating sources that are talking about different things and also doesn't have the same sort of original phrasing issues. Thanks, Kevin Gorman (talk) 01:03, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I certainly don't see how this lessens the impact of the statement one bit. On the contrary, houses can be used as command center or for storage, the whole point is that civilian targets have been hit as well, which is exactly what is being discussed in the article later on. Also I don't see how this introduce doubt of its veracity. It simply separates the IDF and the Palestinian statements. If you can phrase it better go ahead. --109.186.17.8 (talk) 14:47, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Are you the same user as Mor2? If so, I'd suggest you log in to make all of your edits (or alternately make all of your edits from an IP.) It's generally considered problematic to be editing the same topic area from two different user accounts at the same time, or from a user account and an IP at the same time. This is especially true when you're editing in a controversial subject area, like stuff about Israel and Palestine tend to be.

Anyway, I do still see significant problems with the sentence - particularly the fact that it introduces information to the sentence that is simply not present in the source. I'll rewrite it shortly in a way that conforms to what the actual sources say. In the future, please try not to add information to articles that is not supported by sources. Kevin Gorman (talk) 02:42, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

yeah it was me(long story short, all those autosave features corrupt our memory). Sorry I missed your edit, its hard to keep track without being logged in. As for the sentence if your concern is really with sources, then you can easily google one or just look in our article sources(iirc it was in one of the casualties sources I edited before), after all the lead suppose to provide a summary of the article not just random sourced text.--Mor2 (talk) 11:32, 4 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

State of Palestine

Unless you'd like to be blocked for violating 1RR, I recommend that you self-revert your latest edit to the article. — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 05:10, 30 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I looked at my latest edit on the article and I agree it is an unintentional violation of WP:1RR on my part. Due to only 22 hours passing since my last edit rather than 24. However, at this point, 24 hours have past and thus I see no point in self-reverting/reinstating, to avoid a technicality, cluttering the history. More importantly as I noted on Night w, talk page[1], this is not part of an edit war, at least not one initiated by me, which started with Japinderum revert of several edits/sourced material[2]. Due to a discussion "we" was supposedly having about it[3].--Mor2 (talk) 05:36, 30 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Suit yourself. See WP:ANEW#User:Mor2 reported by User:Malik Shabazz (Result: ). — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 05:48, 30 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please self revert or you will be blocked that pretty clear cut case.--Shrike (talk)/WP:RX 05:58, 30 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for self-reverting. Please keep in mind that it doesn't matter who "initiated" the edit war. Also, remember that 1RR is a limitation, not a license to perform a reversion every 24 hours. — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 06:12, 30 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Its also not traps for the unwary, if I had noticed that the previous day edit had 2 hours overlap with today edit, we wouldn't be having this conversation.--Mor2 (talk) 07:22, 30 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Operation Pillar of Defense

AnkhMorpork already tried to change this section [4], his edit was reverted[5] and discussion was open at talk page Talk:Operation_Pillar_of_Defense#Background. AnkhMorpork subsequent decision to blank the section without discussion or achieving consensus for his edit and mostly unexplained removal of multiple sourced material(which are connected with OPOD) is vandalism, which I was preventing. If you have objections you can take it to Talk and explain your position, or take to the board, in which point I will be filling a similiar request against AnkhMorpork.--Mor2 (talk) 07:01, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

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).

Mor2 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I was blocked for restoring this:

1st revert: 21:37, 7 January 2013‎ AnkhMorpork (-11,352)‎ [6] - section blanking
2nd revert: 21:51, 7 January 2013‎ Darkness Shines (-11,352)‎ [7] - restoring ank changes.

My appeal is on the ground that my edit [8] [9] were justified and preventive, restoring content removal pending consensus. I argue that:

AnkhMorpork section blanking reverted at least two edits made to it on the day before [10] and [11] Which constitute WP:1RR violation.
AnkhMorpork section blanking, came after on the day before he already tried to removed parts of the section[12], which was reverted[13] directing him to talk, where a discussion was started[14]. Which he ignored and continued with blanking the whole section. Which constitute edit warring.
I consider AnkhMorpork section blanking of long standing material, subject of much discussion and consensus for the past few month, without discussion constitutes vandalism or proving a point. In either case its edit warring on article which was subject to several edit wars and protection measures instead of discussion on the talk page.

I request the block decision to be amended.

Decline reason:

The policy is very simple: edit warring is prohibited, even if you believe that you're right. Max Semenik (talk) 14:54, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

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.

For this you need to establish that I was Edit warring. I was arguing that my edit was exempt from the WP:1RR restriction, due to AnkhMorpork violation of WP:1RR and his subsequent section blanking vandalism, on this still highly visible article. Btw you managed to notice/open/review/reply in under 4 minutes, amazing skills.--Mor2 (talk) 15:28, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Other people's actions are irrelevant to your own block and please read what is not vandalism - repeatedly accusing others of vandalism is a personal attack. Max Semenik (talk) 15:40, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Other people's actions are relevant, I can't edit war without other people ;) The reason that I need to point AnkhMorpork actions, is not to deflect from my actions, but to establish context for my argument, that exempt my edits from the WP:1RR rule. Something that I wouldn't need todo if I was able to finish my submission on the boards(btw why the block effect all Wikipedia and not just content page, as measure of good faith?!).

More to the point, I have read the vandalism page and was referring specifically to this clause: Removing all or significant parts of a page's content without any reason [..] Sometimes referenced information or important verifiable references are deleted with no valid reason(s) given in the summary.

Which is exempt if: the removal is readily apparent by examination of the content itself, or where a non-frivolous explanation for the removal of apparently legitimate content is provided, linked to, or referenced in an edit summary..

His section blanking removed long standing 'referenced/verifiable and important information', which was subject of consensus building over several month. So its not readily apparent removal(especially since it was reverted by DLV and he was directed to talk). While his edit summary is frivolous, which can be observed by contrasting his edits [15], [16] - both have the same claims in the summaries, only first time he combed the section(which I had no objections to), while the second time he just blanked it.(probably trying to prove some point to DLV) furthermore a quick glance at the blanked section [17] should make it apparent that his edit summary is indeed frivolous, since most of the content is not WP:SYN, per source, factual and connected with OPOD(including my recent edit to it). --Mor2 (talk) 16:31, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) Mor2, I got your e-mails. And yes, I was "busy", or rather asleep... I'm in UTC-8. I declined your AN3 request against AnkhMorpork an hour ago on the basis that it was not a 1RR violation. The first edit you noted was not a revert, as I stated there; you were unable to prove that it was one through the evidence you provided here and via e-mail. The second revert was not even by AnkhMorpork. But even if it were, (a) again, the first edit wasn't a revert and (b) that edit reversed the first edit. You are welcome to appeal your block at WP:AE after this expires, but I suggest you not. This is a clear-cut violation, and the appearance of formally appealing every AE block against you may convey the impression that you don't understand what the 1RR means (which seems to be true, apparently) and what is and is not permissible when editing in the Israel/Palestine area. -- tariqabjotu 16:40, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

My request at the board is irrelevant, since I didn't have time to finished it(which is why the errors). As I noted in the email you can see my "revised" submission here. Also my understanding WP:RR was created to prevent disruption by avoiding edit warring. For all the reason I mentioned above I find that AnkhMorpork edits were at the very least disruptive and I would be appealing on that ground, not WP:RR violation which IMO is blunt quick response tool that obsess with counting edits/time rather than the motives behind them. Having good day and happy block time to me.--Mor2 (talk) 17:13, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not a big fan of revert counting myself, however what a wikipedian supposed to do if they consider someone else's edits disruptive? They should use dispute resolution, or report outright disruptive editors to madhouses like WP:ANI for maybe banhammering. Now ask yourself: is edit warring a dispute resolution venue? Max Semenik (talk) 17:56, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think that 'dispute resolution' is the right venue, since I have no content dispute with AnkhMorpork. In fact after his initial edit was reverted, I joined the discussion on the talk page(per BRD) intending to support the majority of it. The issue is AnkhMorpork subsequent conduct, when he decided to skip the 'discuss changes' step, aggravating to whole section blanking in a my way or the high way fashion. It should be noted that this is article is "flambe" and seen many edit wars, AnkhMorpork is not a new user and its not his first controversial edit here, his previous huge edit already resulted in unwary users going to WP:AR. So with that in mind ignoring discussion and making especially controversial edit like blanking mostly several month old section is indeed disruptive, bordering on vandalism.(Which is why I reinstated the section)--Mor2 (talk) 19:32, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You were given good advise by experienced admins I suggest you listen to them also you should read WP:LETGO--Shrike (talk)/WP:RX 18:20, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Jerusalem RfC discussion: finalising drafts

Hello. We have almost finished step three of the Jerusalem RfC discussion, but before we move on to step four I would like to make sure that all the participants are happy with the drafts that we have chosen. The content of the drafts are likely to dictate what ends up in the actual article, after all, so I want to make sure that we get them right.

So far, there hasn't been much interest in the process of choosing which drafts to present to the community, and only three editors out of twenty submitted a drafts statement. I have used these three statements to pick a selection of drafts to present, but we still need more input from other participants to make sure that the statements are representative of all participants' wishes. I have started discussions about this under question seven and question eight on the RfC discussion page, and I would be grateful for your input there.

Also, there have been complaints that this process has been moving too slowly, so I am going to implement a deadline.
