About your revert[1] at the history section of Israel- the summary is very poor and misses basic facts of Israeli history. It doesn't reflect the history of Israel properly. Please see other countries articles and notice how the history section is relatively detailed. About the copy-paste, what's the problem? I imported basic relevant data from related articles. whatever i could have written myself would have been identical anyway. cheers Infantom (talk) 19:39, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
If someone is edit warring with you it also means you are edit warring with him. It won't matter for the 1RR if you are right or wrong. Be careful and check if any of your edits undo edits by another editor. If yes, consider self-reverting before you are accused of violating the 1RR.
Repeatedly reverting is not the way to handle a POV pusher. Try discussing on the article's or the user's talk page, and if that fails report him. WarKosign (talk) 11:13, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors according to your reverts at Israel. Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.
If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. While edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you.
The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.
Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

Hello, May I ask if you have previously edited Wikipedia? If so, under what account-name? Cheers, Huldra (talk) 22:18, 20 September 2014 (UTC)
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Anti-Zionism. 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.
Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; 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.
If you persist in your edit-warring in this and several other articles, you face possible sanctions. RolandR (talk) 00:34, 22 September 2014 (UTC)
On the question of sources for the victory attribution, I've left an entry on the talk page, [[Talk:Operation_Defensive_Shield#Victory.3F_Discussion_of_Sources.] I hope you will read it and agree with my assessment that the sources are very mixed on this question, and that no consensus exists considering Operation Defensive Shield an Israeli victory. There are indeed sources that consider the operation an Israeli victory, but most sources appear to consider it to have been an operation with complicated outcomes, in which neither side achieved anything resembling victory. It's not enough to show that *some* source declare the operation an Israeli victory. There has to be a broad consensus, or else we are just picking the sources we agree with and disregarding those we disagree with. That being said, the three sources you've given are not of very high caliber. Two are published by pro-Israeli think tanks, and one is an opinion piece in a newspaper. We need a consensus of scholarly sources, not a random assortment of sources picked to say one thing.
As you know, there is a 1RR policy on all articles regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In the spirit of consensus editing, and given the talk page discussion, I think it would be reasonable for you to put the "citation needed" tag back, or even simply to remove the victory attribution altogether. I think it's very clear that any simple statement of "Israeli victory," "Palestinian Authority victory" or "Hamas victory" is not supported by the balance of the sources. -Thucydides411 (talk) 03:23, 22 September 2014 (UTC)

Hello. I saw a few weeks ago that you added a map from OCHA to the Israel article. The map shows the border with the West Bank, but doesn't mention the Golan Heights at all. Do you perhaps have a source to another map, to replace the current one with a map that mentions the name Golan, or includes it, or shows the border with it? It'll be a more correct map. Thanks Yuvn86 (talk) 20:34, 22 September 2014 (UTC)
You reverted my removal of the claim, "Israeli victory," telling me to "read the sources." I did. You cited the following line, from the NY Times article, to support the claim that the war was an Israeli victory:
The very next sentence in that same article reads
The war had a complicated outcome. The NY Times does not describe it as an unambiguous Israeli victory. It says that Israel was successful in a particular tactical sense, but that Hamas was successful in a different, political sense. Using this source to label the conflict an Israeli victory is original research. You're taking sources that paint a nuanced picture, and then trying to reason that that nuanced picture amounts to an Israeli victory. That may be your personal opinion, but it's not what Ethan Bronner, the author of that NY Times article, wrote.
I really do expect you to self-revert in this case. It's the only reasonable thing to do, given the sources. -Thucydides411 (talk) 18:17, 27 September 2014 (UTC)
I have reported you at the Arbitration Enforcement Noticeboard for breach of the 1RR policy. RolandR (talk) 21:54, 28 September 2014 (UTC)
Reminder to administrators: In March 2010, ArbCom adopted a procedure instructing administrators as follows: "No administrator may modify a sanction placed by another administrator without: (1) the explicit prior affirmative consent of the enforcing administrator; or (2) prior affirmative agreement for the modification at (a) AE or (b) AN or (c) ARCA (see "Important notes" [in the procedure]). Administrators modifying sanctions out of process may at the discretion of the committee be desysopped." Administrators who reverse this block without the clear authorisation described in that procedure will be summarily desysopped.
