Welcome!

Hi Aldij! I noticed your contributions and wanted to welcome you to the Wikipedia community. I hope you like it here and decide to stay.

I've noticed that you've expressed an interest in the Arab–Israeli conflict. Unfortunately, due to a history of conflict and disruptive editing it has been designated a contentious topic and is subject to some strict rules.

The rule that affects you most as a new or IP editor is the prohibition on making any edit related to the Arab–Israel conflict unless you are logged into an account and that account is at least 30 days old and has made at least 500 edits.

This prohibition is broadly construed, so it includes edits such as adding the reaction of a public figure concerning the conflict to their article or noting the position of a company or organization as it relates to the conflict.

The exception to this rule is that you may request a specific change to an article on the talk page of that article or at this page. Please ensure that your requested edit complies with our neutral point of view and reliable sourcing policies, and if the edit is about a living person our policies on biographies of living people as well.

Any edits you make contrary to these rules are likely to be reverted, and repeated violations can lead to you being blocked from editing.

Introduction to contentious topics

[edit]

You have recently edited a page related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

  • adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
  • comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
  • follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
  • comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
  • refrain from gaming the system.

Additionally, you must be logged-in, have 500 edits and an account age of 30 days, and are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on a page within this topic.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

[edit]

Information icon Hello, I'm Sumanuil. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Ukrainian places), but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. A URL in an edit summary isn't a reference. - Sumanuil. (talk to me) 20:03, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

But this is not an actile, this is an information page. Aldij (talk) 09:09, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's a template warning (or in other words, a form letter), and I was just annoyed that you put your source in the edit summary, which isn't normally good enough. - Sumanuil. (talk to me) 03:01, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Aldij,

Why are you emptying this category "out of process"? It contained valid subcategories and you left no edit summary explaining your actions. If you believe a category should be renamed, merged or deleted, please make a proposal at WP:CFD, do not just remove all of the contents of a category. And please include edit summaries with your edits or you might find yourself regularly reverted. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 20:16, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Aldij,
You are continuing to empty categories "out of process". Please stop doing this. If you have questions, please bring them to the Teahouse. Liz Read! Talk! 22:19, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Information icon Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that one or more recent edit(s) you made did not have an edit summary. You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or to provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances that your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits, an adequate summary may be quite brief.

The edit summary field looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder by setting Preferences → Editing → Tick Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary, and then click the "Save" button. Thanks! Liz Read! Talk! 20:17, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Incoherent categorization

[edit]

We currently have a chaotic naming pattern where some Jewish sub-national diaspora categories have names like Category:Georgian-Jewish culture or Category:Russian-Jewish culture in the United States while others have names like Category:Syrian-Jewish diaspora or Category:Russian-Jewish diaspora. I suppose that a broad discussion on what to call all of these categories would be a lot of work, but I'm afraid that hen-pecking away at individual categories only creates a situation where there is no consistency. Whatever these categories are to be called, they should be consistent. 00:14, 12 May 2024 (UTC) Bohemian Baltimore (talk) 00:14, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Bohemian Baltimore, yes, I also value consistency. Now, all the subcategories of category:Mizrahi Jewish culture are named consistently. Aldij (talk) 11:47, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

North Macedonia

[edit]

I think your argument we should rename the categories to People from North Macedonia is totally on point. We are not bound by treaties. We are not obligated to name any categories using demonyms. We only do so when using them is clear and unambiguous. Macedonian is neither. It is used for unrelated groups that in one case are Greek the other Slav. We need yo make it clear this is a Category for nationals of a particular country. That is not even remotely clear with the current category name.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:02, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have sent you a note about a page you started
