Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by SwisterTwister was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines for academics and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Elie Abadie and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Elie Abadie

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 Draft:Elie Abadie, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

It appears to be a clear copyright infringement. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. However, even if you use one of these processes to release copyrighted material to Wikipedia, it still needs to comply with the other policies and guidelines to be eligible for inclusion. If you would like any assistance with this, you can ask a question at the help desk.

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 deleted 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.

I'm good thanks. Delete the page. I spent way too much time on it and really don't care anymore. Smntstatus (talk)

Hello, Smntstatus, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process.

Addition of primary sources

Hello Smntstatus, regarding your recent edits at List of Orthodox Jewish communities in the United States, there is an obvious flaw in using WP:PRIMARY sources such as these [1] [2], because they are being used incorrectly to make an interpretation of the demographic situation in the communities they are in (see WP:SYNTH). A synagogue listing on a website or map doesn't say anything about whether it is a one off or part of a larger community, or whether it has 10 members or 1,000. The best way forward is to stick with reliable sources regarding any claims being made here. As it stands now the article is begging for a sources tag to be placed at the top and/or unreliable source inline tags or even outright deletion of entries. Before any of that happens I wanted to notify you, as a major contributor, of these problems so that you can deal with some of this on your own terms. StonyBrook (talk) 04:29, 21 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your addition to Ger (Hasidic dynasty) has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing.

Jewish community

There is multiple yeshivas in harlem as well as Jews living there I can get sources for those if you want Bigmike2346 (talk) 22:26, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

And do you live in nyc to know all of this? Bigmike2346 (talk) 22:29, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Then cite sources that show an orthodox community in Harlem. Just like the others you cited, that YU article talks about a Jewish community that ended in prominence in 1930 and is seeing a recent small influx of mostly unaffiliated Jews. Smntstatus (talk) 22:40, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Personal knowledge is neither required or even desirable. We don't write about the subject of our articles; we write about what has been written about the subject in reliable sources. A blog isn't a reliable source. John from Idegon (talk) 22:44, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Logos

The use of former logos in a decorative way without any text like that fails #8 at WP:NFCCP and also WP:NFG, this has been discussed before, and a lot of former crests were removed from football teams articles, even the major pages like Premier League doesnt have former logos anymore.

April 2021: Stand and Deliver Suggestion

I see that you have reverted my edit to the above article, but you did not state a reason. Let's discuss it on the article's Talk page.--Quisqualis (talk) 19:45, 19 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You need to participate in the discussion on the Talk page of Stand and Deliver. I waited for your participation for days. Now you show up? Please do not edit war. Discuss.--Quisqualis (talk) 05:20, 25 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nobody owes you anything Smntstatus (talk) 20:09, 25 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You owe it to Wikipedia not to edit disruptively. It's part of the terms and conditions you signed on to when you created your account here.- Users who feel they are above having to discuss usually have short-lived accounts and busy Talk pages.-Quisqualis (talk) 04:46, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Fuck off, clown Smntstatus (talk) 14:31, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

As you probably are aware, Wikipedia has a policy against edit warring, or repeatedly reverting article content to the way you want it to be. In order not to edit war, I opened a discussion on the talk page of Stand and Deliver. I invited you twice to discuss with me there how the "legacy" section should be worded. Both times, you have failed to respond. Several days after the first request, I reverted your content to my preferred version, believing that you were not interested, and you immediately reverted my edit. We are now in the second go-round on this, and you still refrain from joining the discussion I started, and have resorted to hostile language. We can have the discussion right here on your talk page, if going to the article's talk page is an effort for you. What is your justification for your version of the legacy section? I can wait for your answer.--Quisqualis (talk) 03:37, 29 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

June 2021

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Shlomo Rechnitz. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. TransporterMan (TALK) 19:06, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello User Smntstatus Please note I added a section to the Shlomo Rechnitz talk page for discussion with you. Please respond. - Section "Discussion on Proposed Cleanups" under the "Edit War" item from TransporterMan Photoloop (talk) 06:11, 15 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Paid allegation

If you have evidence that a user is a undisclosed paid editor, follow the guidance here. Also be very aware of WP:OUTING. If you have no evidence, then I suggest that you withdraw your accusations. 331dot (talk) 15:16, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

December 2022

Please stop your disruptive editing.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Shlomo Rechnitz, you may be blocked from editing. You need to review WP:PUBLICFIGURE and find additional and better sources than calmatters.org to demonstrate this is WP:DUE. There is also a related thread on this topic at the BLP Noticeboards that you should participate in. [3] Morbidthoughts (talk) 18:20, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Cal Matters is a nonprofit, nonpartisan newsroom committed to explaining California politics and policy. Why is this a poor quality source? The person deleting content on Shlomo Rechnitz’s page is also deleting sources such as the Washington Post. Is that also a poor quality source? Is there a reason poor quality Orthodox Jewish websites are allowed to stay in as sources? Is there a reason every reference to Rechnitz donating to charity is considered noteworthy but the reams of court filings and major news outlets documenting his nursing dealings are not? Smntstatus (talk) 01:10, 11 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please review the BLPN thread.[4] I don't consider Cal Matters to be on the same level as the Washington Post or even Sacramento Bee. You also need multiple sources for allegations and negative incidents under WP:PUBLICFIGURE. Examples of his philanthropy are not subject to that same standard. Find sources like what I had mentioned, and you can reinstate the mention of the lawsuit instead forcing inclusion through an edit war. Morbidthoughts (talk) 03:41, 11 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
