July 2016

Hello, I'm Editor abcdef. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, it's important to be mindful of the feelings of your fellow editors, who may be frustrated by certain types of interaction, such as your addition to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Khalid ibn al-Walid Army. While you probably didn't intend any offense, please do remember that Wikipedia strives to be an inclusive atmosphere. In light of that, it would be greatly appreciated if you could moderate yourself so as not to offend. Thank you. Editor abcdef (talk) 10:43, 29 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I get offended when editors go around maliciously vandalizing Wikipedia, sorry for that.

Mhhossein has proposed deletion of at least three Islamic state related article, claiming they are all promotional and do not meet general notability .other editors have pointed out to him that none of the articles are written in a promotional tone and that they all meet the general notability criteria.

when I see behaviour that can only be explained by a conflict of interest due to the editors religious beliefs, I have to point it out. i dont appreciate you reverting my entirely legitimate criticism of another editor. Smith1122 (talk) 10:49, 29 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The "Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant-Somali Province" and the Bangladesh one can simply be included in the article ISIL territorial claims, there's no need to start a new one that's not even notable. And stop calling other users Iranian Shia. Editor abcdef (talk) 10:55, 29 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Smith1122, on WP we have a policy of no personal attacks, which sort of means "Comment on content, not on the contributor", so its best to not discuss a persons editing as a function of their presumed or stated personal beliefs. We also have a WP:conflict of interest/Noticeboard if you really think there is a problem. I hope this is of some help. Regards, --220 of ^Borg 11:15, 29 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No, it can't. There is good content on both of those pages, which warrants its own article. And as IS expands in Somalia and Bangladesh, there will be more and more content to fill the page with. There is already lots more content that could be added to flesh the pages out, by an editor who wanted to improve wikipedia rather than damage it. But he hasn't only proposed deleting that article, he has proposed deletion of at least two other articles related to IS, without any valid reason.

PS: jumping to the other articles and just putting the same 'delete' message, apparently because we had a dispute is not especially mature or constructive. it doesnt appear you thought for a second about the validity of your assertions

He is an Iranian Shia, he is very proud of that clearly, from looking at his user page. When that is a factor in what I view as his malicious vandalism, I will point it out. Wikipedia has policies on bias and advocacy (and its reverse).

Stop repeating your accusations please and avoid commenting on the editors. Instead you have to restrict yourself to commenting on the content. This is the third caution. As you know, WP:ANI is the place where such repeated behaviors are addressed. If you think the articles deserve to be kept, OK! do best and find reliable sources and try to keep them. Mhhossein (talk) 11:40, 29 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:WIAPA, making ad hominem comments such as what you repeatedly did is considered personal attack and may lead to "sanctions including blocks." Mhhossein (talk) 11:50, 29 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

its easy for you to cry 'personal attack', by the fact you haven't been banned I can see you are good at it. I commented on the content on each page and here too. I pointed out that you are claiming lack of notability and promotion when there obviously isn't an issue there. Certainly not to the extent of proposing deletions.

calling you iranian shia is not an ad hominem or a personal attack, it is merely the apparent grounds for your malicious behaviour

instead of addressing the allegation of bias and conflict of interest, you are crying 'personal attack'Smith1122 (talk) 12:36, 29 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I mean just for fun, I've been looking at your vandalism of wikipedia articles with your pro-shia bias and promotion of shia terror groups

On 8 July, you deleted a large amount of content criticising the Basij, and then blanked the entire page as 'copyright violation' this is clear vandalism and an attempt to suppress and censor critical views of the Basij, the iranian paramilitary org. I mean, I have to wonder, are you/were you a member of the Basij?? Mostly likely

you wrote the: Organization for the Islamic Revolution in the Arabian Peninsula: page with an entirely promotional stance on a radical shia group

on the:Quds day: article you removed a piece of criticism, properly sourced, just because you didnt like it and then engaged in edit warring

you've done dozens of edits to:Saudi-led intervention in Bahrain: to support your slanted viewpoint

futher on your edits on Morteza Avini, another editor, Wuerzele, removef your peacock promotion of khomeini as 'charismatic' and there were many other issues with you using promotional language and editorialising the article

I actually think you are probably paid to do this by the Iranian government You have dozens of edits every single day, whereas normal people have jobs and other activities.Smith1122 (talk) 13:11, 29 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop accusing other editors and try to build the encyclopedia. Continuing this pattern of behavior may lead to sanctions such as blocks. --Mhhossein (talk) 05:21, 31 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

its pretty sad how you didnt even bother to respond to me pointing out 5 incidents of your bias and damage to the wiki, but just cried 'ad hominem' and 'personal attack' again. how about you try to justify and explain the damage you did to those five pages?

I'm not bound to reply your baseless and bizarre accusations. Anyway, FYI Organization for the Islamic Revolution in the Arabian Peninsula is created by User:MrPenguin20 on December 29, 2013. My edits there were just some nearly minor ones! --Mhhossein (talk) 07:19, 1 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Smith1122, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Abu Muhammad al-Tahawi has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 21:09, 29 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

you didnt remove anything from the page, you barely changed it, so there is obviously no copyright issue

July 2016

Please refrain from introducing inappropriate pages, such as al-Khan massacre and Ghandoura massacre, to Wikipedia, as doing so is not in accordance with our policies. For more information about creating articles, you may want to read Wikipedia:Your first article; you might also consider using the Article Wizard. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Editor abcdef (talk) 22:39, 29 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

you are harrasing me by following my articles and deleting them, both those events were clearly notable enough to have their own individual pages, you are trying to censor wikipedia

One or two sentences are not "notable enough". Civilian casulties from airstrikes during a battle are usually listed under the article for the battle itself unless you can greatly expand it. Editor abcdef (talk) 00:10, 31 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

not true, there is a precedent for articles about airstrikes when they civilian casualty toll is in double figures you are censoring wikipedia because you have a grudge against me, what a great wikipedian you are, NOT

Sock puppetry

You are suspected of sock puppetry, which means that someone suspects you of using multiple Wikipedia accounts for prohibited purposes. Please make yourself familiar with the notes for the suspect, then, if you wish to do so, respond to the evidence at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Dave8899. Thank you. --HyperGaruda (talk) 12:43, 5 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Abu Sulayman al-Utaybi

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Abu Sulayman al-Utaybi requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, a group of people, an individual animal, an organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content, or an organized event, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.
