I need to ask about the validity of creating pages on Wikipedia that erase the identity of several nations and also steal their Traditional Heritage. Does Wikipedia monitor these things? Thank you. Marina Towadros (talk) 02:45, 26 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Here is the Talk Page Talk:Arab_dance of the Wikipedia page that you have concerns about. Also, since this seems to be a complicated issue (and I do totally understand and respect anyone's concerns about cultural appropriation) please don't hesitate to also consider posting a message on the Administrator's Message Board. Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents. Thank you. Beauty School Dropout (talk) 02:48, 26 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much for your help. Marina Towadros (talk) 03:01, 26 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I have replied at Talk:Arab dance. I don't think Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents would be a good place for a more general discussion; that board deals with editor conduct and issues requiring admin intervention, while you are more concerned with article content, if I understand you correctly. Either the article's talk page or maybe the talk page of a relevant WikiProject, such as WT:WikiProject Dance, would be good places to discuss that article's scope and whether we should break it up into sub-articles for specific countries or regions.

I have replied at Talk:Arab dance and as per advised i posted the message on the Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents. And the clear message is that Arab is not a country, a National Folklore should have its People mentioned and not claimed by 20+ countries who have nothing to do with it. Egypt have a National Identity and millions of North Africans don't like to be called Arabs, so our National Folklore should have our people name, they are called Egyptians. Thank You.

Edit warring at Arab dance and Belly dance

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

I added sourced information, and you (User:Swazzo) kept removing 1000+ information and all the sources which is against Wikipedia rules. Thanks. Marina Towadros (talk) 19:59, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
