User talk:Bill Josephs

Welcome!

Hello, Bill Josephs, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one of your contributions does not conform to Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy (NPOV). Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media.

There's a page about the NPOV policy that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Questions page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, click here to ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. Below are a few other good links for newcomers:

ARBPIA

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in the Arab–Israeli conflict. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

August 2019

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. refrain from moving pages as you've just caused a huge mess in one of the most controversial articles on this project. Praxidicae (talk) 20:29, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Came here to warn of the same thing. I've seen a history of you vandalizing LGBT rights in the State of Palestine dating back from last month. Nice4What (talk · contribs) – (Don't forget to share a Thanks ♥) 22:39, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There is NO "State of Palestine." You are bringing Wikipedia down to the level of propaganda for indicating otherwise. Goebbels said "If you tell a lie enough times it becomes the truth." Is that your

gig?

You consider me "disruptive" because I repeatedly write what is factual truth. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bill Josephs (talk • contribs)

What you consider the "truth" is controversial. Worth considering that over 70% of UN members recognize Palestinian statehood (compared to 85% for Israel) and that State of Palestine is a non-member observer state in the UN as of 2012.

The UN has ceased to have credibility regarding the State of Israel, if it has credibililty over anything, these days. 70% of the UN representatives are antisemitic. They repeatedly have nothing to say regarding the countless times Israel has been attacked by terrorist organizations, such as Hezbhollah, which is funded and supported by Iran. There is no "controversial" truth. There never has been a country called Palestine. Your argument is sophist. Just take out the word and stop glorifying the State that does not exist. <nowiki><nowiki><nowiki> <p>Please type [[:Template:Ping|<nowiki> {{ping|Nice4What}}]] if you decide to reply so I get notified, and don't forget to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

Notice

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. - Frood (talk!) 05:13, 1 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Notice that you are now subject to an arbitration enforcement sanction

The following sanction now applies to you:

You are banned from all pages and edits related to the Arab-Israeli conflict, broadly construed, for three months, subject to the usual exceptions.

You have been sanctioned due to ongoing and repeated disruptive editing to the LGBT rights in the State of Palestine article, despite numerous warnings and requests for you to stop and discuss the matter properly, and after a discussion was filed here at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding your repeated disruption.

This sanction is imposed in my capacity as an uninvolved administrator under the authority of the Arbitration Committee's decision at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Index/Palestine-Israel articles#Final decision and, if applicable, the procedure described at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions. This sanction has been recorded in the log of sanctions. If the sanction includes a ban, please read the banning policy to ensure you understand what this means. If you do not comply with this sanction, you may be blocked for an extended period, by way of enforcement of this sanction—and you may also be made subject to further sanctions.

You may appeal this sanction using the process described here. I recommend that you use the arbitration enforcement appeals template if you wish to submit an appeal to the arbitration enforcement noticeboard. You may also appeal directly to me (on my talk page), before or instead of appealing to the noticeboard. Even if you appeal this sanction, you remain bound by it until you are notified by an uninvolved administrator that the appeal has been successful. You are also free to contact me on my talk page if anything of the above is unclear to you. ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 05:51, 1 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Arbitration Enforcement discussion

This post is to inform you of a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement#Bill Josephs. - Frood (talk!) 20:57, 2 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked for topic ban violation

I have blocked you for two weeks for promptly violating your topic ban with this edit and this. This is an arbitration enforcement block. You may appeal the block by requesting review at either WP:AN or WP:AE. Post your request below and ask for it to be moved to where you want it. The difference between those two boards is that at WP:AN your appeal would be reviewed by the community; at WP:AE by uninvolved administrators. For WP:AE, use the arbitration enforcement appeals template. Alternatively, you may appeal by email directly to the Arbitration Committee at arbcom-en@wikimedia.org.
