Please do not use calligraphy as the image for people. MOS:CALLIGRAPHY and related Islam-specific guidelines, and standard guidelines for all of Wikipedia, tell us that it's ok not to have an image at all, and that an image should generally be what the article topic actually is rather than how some anonymous person on the internet chooses to write their name.

Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that in this edit to Tabuk, Saudi Arabia, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Materialscientist (talk) 07:25, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
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:
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.

Hi Rajoub570! I noticed your contributions and wanted to welcome you to the Wikipedia community. I hope you like it here and decide to stay.
The rule that affects you most as new or IP editor is the prohibition on making any edit related to Palestine/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 your being blocked from editing.
As you get started, you may find this short tutorial helpful:
Alternatively, the contributing to Wikipedia page covers the same topics.
If you have any questions, we have a friendly space where experienced editors can help you here:

Hi. I'd like to verify your recent edits on demographics and also learn more about migrations into or within the Palestine region (Edit: or, more specifically, the West Bank). I was unsuccessful after some googling to access the book or at least the chapter/article by Grossman you cited, and there isn't an Israeli library near me. So I wonder if you know of any way the book, or at least the article, could be accessed online (preferably for free)? (It doesn't have to be in English; I can read Hebrew as well).
Thank you and have a good day.-- Arpose (talk) 14:38, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
~ Hi Arpose. It's cool to find Wikipedia editors into the same stuff as me! About your question, I got lucky and found an actual copy of the book. Luckily, the Hebrew is pretty straightforward, so you don't need to be an expert. I remember seeing a copy online on Kotar, but I believe it's behind a paywall. Try using this link: https://kotar.cet.ac.il/kotarapp/index/Chapter.aspx?nBookID=100386206&nTocEntryID=100389518. Rajoub570 (talk) 14:45, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
Have you used any other account on Wikipedia? nableezy - 14:25, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
Why are you adding material with a citation needed as here for example? nableezy - 16:47, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
I noticed that you added back this oft-quoted statement by some prominent Hamas official back , despite being told that it wasn't a proper source .
I just want to say that per Wikipedia RS , WP:Undue Weight , WP:Fringe rules : the source just doesn't have much of a justification to be here, even with these additional new sources .
A Politician of a non-academic background , speaking in front of an Egyptian News-channel , begging for aid by appealing to alleged common blood-ties just .. punches way below its weight , saying the least without typing too much . The fact the only ones quoting him are pro-Israeli polemicists should have made this clearer .
The interview is best removed due to its politically-charged nature . It's a sad fact that none of the sources are not reputable as well as to justify keeping it .
This also includes this article in Ecumenical review Journal , whose author tone is not at least a Middle-Eastern history authority , not dispassionate, and not a rigorous analysis with verifiable citations and references , where even the passing section related to Israel/Palestine states things wrongly . (Abd Al-Ghani Salam -not Salameh- is a Lebanese , not a Palestinian . There's also no such source called "Official P.A. TV, special broadcast for the 100th anniversary of the Balfour Declaration, November 1, 2017" ) .
Even if the above may be ignored : WP:False balance and WP:Best sources rules argue in favor of removal .

At the beginning of this year we had 5000 words on Petra but zero on its people. Thank you for making that right! – Joe (talk) 13:41, 20 June 2024 (UTC) |
