Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Advanced Vector Extensions into X86 instruction listings. 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. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa (talk) 14:32, 24 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Stop systemically removing Arab names from Israeli localities

There is no need to remove all Arab names.--Bolter21 (talk to me) 10:28, 15 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

To editor Bolter21: welcome to Wikipedia. The accepted practice here is that settlements which at no point in their history had a substantial Arab population don't include the Arabic transliteration of their Hebrew names in the lead. Examples are Bnei Brak, Petah Tikva, Netanya, Rishon LeZion, Rehovot and many others. Now please go and undo your reverts. --Crash48 (talk) 10:57, 15 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Don't welcome me to Wikipedia. Can you please show me where this "accepted practice" appears?--Bolter21 (talk to me) 11:09, 15 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

To editor Bolter21: be WP:CIVIL. The relevant guideline is Wikipedia:Naming conventions (geographic names)#General guidelines: Relevant foreign language names (one used by at least 10% of sources in the English language or that is used by a group of people which used to inhabit this geographical place) are permitted. Now please go and undo your reverts. --Crash48 (talk) 11:34, 15 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There is nothing civil in you welcoming me to Wikipedia. I don't think I need to explain that to you. The place you cited also says Other relevant language names may appear in alphabetic order of their respective languages. Since Israel is trilingual in its road signs, there is no prevention to include the Arabic transliteration. This is what written on the official signs leading to these places, regardless of the population. Completely Arab localities must have their Hebrew name listed as well.--Bolter21 (talk to me) 11:45, 15 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

To editor Bolter21: Israeli road signs are not WP:RS as far as Wikipedia is concerned: see e.g. the discussion on Talk:Neve Sha'anan. Also, National Roads Company of Israel has their own policy about which languages to include, which is different from, and has no effect on, Wikipedia's guideline quoted above, where "relevant" is explained to mean "one used by at least 10% of sources in the English language or that is used by a group of people which used to inhabit this geographical place". Now please go and undo your reverts. --Crash48 (talk) 12:11, 15 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Completely Arab localities must have their Hebrew name listed as well. -- the road sign at the entrance to Ramallah is as trilingual as all others. Would you try introducing the Hebrew spelling into Ramallah article? --Crash48 (talk) 12:30, 15 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The guideline does not determine whether Arabic names should or shouldn't be used for the articles in question. I'll refer you to the description of what exactly are guidelines in Wikipedia: It is a generally accepted standard that editors should attempt to follow, though it is best treated with common sense, and occasional exceptions may apply. Any substantive edit to this page should reflect consensus. When in doubt, discuss first on the talk page.. In order to get what you desire, start a discussion on the WikiProject of Israel and try to reach a consensus.--Bolter21 (talk to me) 14:37, 15 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

To editor Bolter21: There is a consensus, which you are acting against. As I explained to you, Bnei Brak, Petah Tikva, Netanya, Rishon LeZion, Rehovot did not have Arab population, and don't have Arabic names in the lead. Afula, Ashdod, Beersheba, Lod, Hebron had both Jewish and Arab population, and have both names in the lead. --Crash48 (talk) 15:52, 15 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please read WP:CONSENSUS to understand what does consensus mean. I don't really care about the content of your edits. They are disruptive. Please, follow the guidelines of Wikipedia which as a new editor you clearly don't know, and if you need help, ask for it.--Bolter21 (talk to me) 21:56, 15 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

To editor Bolter21: I have pointed you at WP:NCGN: it is the guideline of Wikipedia which as a new editor you clearly didn't know. Please follow it, and if you need help, ask for it. --Crash48 (talk) 08:46, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Alert

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.

Final 500-30 warning

Hello. Per the WP:ARBPIA ruling, you are not permitted to make edits or even discuss items which fall within its scope. That includes naming conventions in Israel. It doesn't matter if said page is protected so as to physically prevent you from editing it, or not. This is a prohibition you must observe regardless of that, otherwise you risk sanctions. You must reach the the extended-confirmed user right before becoming authorized to engage in editorial work in the topic area. And please do not repeatedly term a user who has been here for half a decade as new — how does that even make sense? You are new, they are not. Thanks and good luck. El_C 18:14, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

To editor El C: on what grounds exactly are naming conventions in Israel subject to the WP:ARBPIA ruling? Not everything related to Israel is related to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. --Crash48 (talk) 18:19, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No, but your naming convention edits do pertain to the conflict. As an uninvolved admin, authorized by the Arbitration Committee to enforce discertionary sanctions, that is my finding. El_C 18:23, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

November 2023

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Ukrainian language. 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. Rsk6400 (talk) 14:48, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ukrainian language: Case request declined

Hello Crash48,

In response to your request for arbitration, the Arbitration Committee has agreed that arbitration is not required at this stage. Arbitration on Wikipedia is a lengthy, complicated process that involves the unilateral adjudication of a dispute by an elected committee. Although the Committee's decisions can be useful to certain disputes, in many cases the actual process of arbitration is unenjoyable and time-consuming. Moreover, for most disputes the community maintains an effective set of mechanisms for reaching a compromise or resolving a grievance.

Disputes among editors regarding the content of an article should use structured discussion on the talk page between the disputing editors. However, requests for comment, third opinions and other venues are available if discussion alone does not yield a consensus. The dispute resolution noticeboard also exists as a method of resolving content disputes that aren't easily resolved with talk page discussion.

In all cases, you should review Wikipedia:Dispute resolution to learn more about resolving disputes on Wikipedia. The English Wikipedia community has many venues for resolving disputes and grievances, and it is important to explore them instead of requesting arbitration in the first instance. For more information on the process of arbitration, please see the Arbitration Policy and the Guide to Arbitration. I hope this advice is useful, and please do not hesitate to contact me or a member of the community if you have more questions.

For the Arbitration Committee,
~ ToBeFree (talk) 23:52, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Notice that you are now subject to an arbitration enforcement sanction

The following sanction now applies to you:

Topic ban from Ukrainian language until 00:01, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

You have been sanctioned for the reasons provided in response to this arbitration enforcement request.

This sanction is imposed in my capacity as an uninvolved administrator under the authority of the Arbitration Committee's decision at Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Eastern Europe#Final decision and, if applicable, the contentious topics procedure. 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. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 07:00, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
