Copying within Wikipedia

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Qatar corruption scandal at the European Parliament into another page. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you.

Hello, I'm Qwerfjkl (bot). I have automatically detected that this edit performed by you, on the page Armenia–Azerbaijan border crisis, may have introduced referencing errors. They are as follows:

Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, Qwerfjkl (bot) (talk) 17:34, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to Armenia, Azerbaijan, or related conflicts, 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.

Grandmaster 09:24, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello and Salam Grandmaster. Thanks for pointing me to this, based on the topic name "Azerbaijan- Armenia 2" it seems like it's the sequel to something. It looks like there's an Azerbaijani-Armenia 3 as well. I can see you have been named in all of them.

The notice template you pasted here says there's 'a special set of rules.'

But unless I'm mistaken, it seems like the rules in both of those discussions are quite standard [be nice, don't be nationalistic, assume good faith] with perhaps the explicit stipulation that the use of 'propagandistic nationalist sites is unacceptable.' This is more or less already covered though by wikipedia policies governing what is a reliable site.

Am I missing anything obvious? Phantomette (chat) 16:20, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This account has been blocked indefinitely as a sockpuppet that was created to violate Wikipedia policy. Note that using multiple accounts is allowed, but using them for illegitimate reasons is not, and that all edits made while evading a block or ban may be reverted or deleted. If this account is not a sockpuppet, and you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here ~~~~}} below.

If you want to appeal you'll need to do so via email to Arbcom. I recommend taking the standard offer and taking a voluntary topic ban from AA and an indefinite partial block from email access. Moneytrees🏝️(Talk) 16:21, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Moneytrees: I wasn't aware of this investigation, and wish I could've made a statement, because this other user is not me. After reading through it, I do see some interest overlap between the user R.Lemkin and myself, but only loosely. I am interested in ethnonatonal conflicts and consult human rights orgs such as Genocide Watch and the Lemkin Institute. Truth and Reconciliation is a recurrent issue in Canada where I reside. I edit a number of niche articles relating to Toronto, because that's where I live. Environmental issues in Toronto, Toronto Parks, Toronto Islands,Toronto ravine system,Toronto Public Library,Toronto Harbour,Cherry Beach,Toronto waterfront,Fauna of Toronto ,Leslie Street Spit, and INKAS. INKAS is a Toronto-based company that has drawn attention and protests amid the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict, which is why I contributed to the article. Conversely, almost 99% of R.Lemkin’s edits (with one exception), were limited to Armenia-Azerbaijan articles.

The "idiosyncrasies" mentioned are generic. Phrases such as “statements”, “remove”, and “overkill” are all generic statements mentioned by multiple editors, including the accusing editor Parishan. Parishan has made a number of these generic edit summaries which he claimed are suspicious, including: juxtaposition (1 time), statement (77 times), remove (119 times), and removed redundant (5 times). “Citation overkill” is literally a wikipedia policy (“Wikipedia:Citation overkill”) and was mentioned in the specified article as a problem in the template banner “This article may contain an excessive number of citations.”). I've based my edit summary vocabulary on the words I frequently see other users write, I thought it was the Wikipedia manner of speaking.

Please reconsider the investigation decision, because I can assure you that R.Lemkin is not me. Phantomette (chat) 20:39, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think you have to appeal directly in an email to arbcom if you wish to do so. (t · c) buidhe 05:09, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, you’ll need to email. Moneytrees🏝️(Talk) 05:16, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Moneytrees:, @Buidhe: I have appealed to to the arbcom email 2 weeks ago, like you both asked. Is there a decision? I'm not aware of anything and I still can't use my account. Phantomette (chat) 15:16, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
