Agmonsnir (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
Daniel Case, if you read the details, you will see that there was no "dispute". An anonymous user, that changes its IP from time to time, eliminated almost all the entry and the work of many people who collected the information. I was trying to save the article, and the violator continued to do so. There is no way to create a discussion in the "talk" page with an IP that is not permanent, and in the meanwhile, the result of the vandalism is there. The only way WAS to insist, hoping that someone with better permissions than me would stop the vandalism (as happened, unfortunately only for a week, that will end soon). I will probably let the anonymous user to destroy the article next time, since I am not an expert and have no idea about how otherwise to save the contents. Agmonsnir (talk) 19:08, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
Decline reason:
Article talk pages are for discussing disputes, and even dynamic IPs can use them. If discussion fails to resolve a dispute, dispute resolution is available. If any user does not engage in discussion, there are other measures that can be taken. "Trying to save the article" is exactly what edit warring is- everyone in an edit war thinks that their edits are correct, or wants to preserve what they see as the correct version of an article- so that is not a defense to edit warring. I am declining your request. 331dot (talk) 10:19, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
I will leave it to what other admin might review this, if any, but your request does more IMO to justify the block than anything I could have said, or did:
- "An anonymous user, that changes its IP from time to time ..." It is not their fault that their provider might have issued them a dynamic IP, since it's quite common these days as allowing better and faster use of the provider's allocated bandwidth. And, even if this is not the case, unregistered editors are under no more obligation than the rest of us to edit from a single location.
- "... eliminated almost all the entry and the work of many people who collected the information" See WP:HARDWORK. Also recall that every contributor is, or at least used to be, warned on every page's edit window that what, if anything, they add is always subject to deletion by any other contributor, registered or not, at any time. Such deletions are, as I need not explain to you, easily reverted and thus never "lost" or "eliminated".
- "There is no way to create a discussion in the "talk" page with an IP that is not permanent" I find it disturbing that you put talk in quotes, as it suggests a lack of faith in a talk page's potential to resolve disputes like this (and seeing that in 15 years of that talk page's existence, you've never darkened its door, I fear there is other evidence for this proposition). But leaving that aside ... IP users have talk pages of their own, and if you do not want to use them you can certainly use {{ping}} to get their attention from the article "talk" page. If you look around at other article's talk pages, you will see plenty of discussions involving IP editors, quite a few of which manage to be productive.
Again, I am unsure whether by "can't" you mean "don't want to".
- "I am not an expert and have no idea about how otherwise to save the contents". OK, I'm glad you have conceded the first point. I have also explained above that the contents are not as irretrievably lost as you seem to think.
I would further note that whether the article should be saved in its present form seems to be a matter for debate. A passing uninvolved editor on the ANEW page seems to agree with the IP that the article is so seriously flawed that taking all that hard work out is a step in the right direction.
Your four reverts did not come under the exceptions outlined at WP:3RRNO. When there is no recourse there, 3RR is a strict liability rule—if you make the same revert, or substantially the same revert, more than three times in 24 hours, you must be blocked. No exceptions (unless, I suppose, the other editor is not in violation and does not want you blocked, which didn't happen here). Wikipedia has no brighter-line rule.
In addition you are seriously lacking, it seems, not only the ability to assume good faith but any awareness of the concept. You characterized the IP as a "troll" and their edits as "vandalism". Well, I (and I think many other Wikipedians looking over the edits in question) would see it as someone genuinely attempting to improve the encyclopedia. Yes, in a very drastic way that's bound to ruffle feathers, but still within limits. In the same situation I would have raised the issue on the talk page first, but there's no requirement to do that.
Your attitude is also generally betraying more than a hint of page ownership. If you keep it up after this block expires (and it will, believe me), you won't be needing to get into edit wars to get blocked. Daniel Case (talk) 23:22, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
- Daniel Case, first thanks for the long and thoughtful reply. Learnt a lot from it. I will just say that exemption 4 of Edit warring article is: "Reverting obvious vandalism — edits that any well-intentioned user would agree constitute vandalism, such as page blanking and adding offensive language." The way I saw it, it was exactly the case. Taking off 26Kbytes, an estimate of 90% of the article, is very much like page blanking. Even if it was justified, the way to do it was not by actions that obviously look like vandalism. Instead, I would have appreciated this being discussed on the talk page, and perhaps her/his approach would have been accepted. This was the logic of my actions based on exemption 4 of Edit warring article. Agmonsnir (talk) 06:11, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
Overlinking
[edit]In my opinion, "jurisdiction" is a good example of "everyday words understood by most readers in context" which should not be wikilinked according to the style manual. The article is trivial to find if anyone wants to, though nobody will. Zerotalk 13:42, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks for your message. Jurisdiction is not an everyday word, and its meaning is complicated in many legal and practical aspects, especially in an article that is not about a legal topic per se. Of course, every link to an article in Wikipedia is "trivial to find". Yet, hyperlinks are useful for getting there fast. Thanks! Agmonsnir (talk) 14:10, 7 February 2023 (UTC)

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.

Off-wiki
[edit]Just because this is an ongoing issue, did you receive an off-wiki message to edit on wikipedia? I found it strange that you jumped into the middle of an edit war on an article you'd never edited before[1]. I also found your comment "Homerethegreat’s version was stable for quite some time" strange, given you've never edited the article or the talk page. VR talk 16:56, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
- nableezy and Makeandtoss I have seen you make comments about an off-wiki email campaign, so this might be of interest to you.VR talk 16:58, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
- I read today a few related articles and found this narrative-based discussion interesting. My opinions on the various issues in the article are complex, and I wish for a real discussion and not just an "edit war" as you call it. What I found is, unfortunately, not exactly the Wikipedia spirit that I believe in. It is important to stop the mutual reverts and focus on discussion. However it seems that there is a war even over what can be seen as a stable version to begin with. Agmonsnir (talk) 17:04, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
- Ok, so what did you mean by "Homerethegreat’s version was stable for quite some time"? What dates was it stable for? VR talk 17:16, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
- And just to confirm, you have not received any email or any off-wiki communication regarding this or anything else relating to wikipedia and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict? VR talk 17:17, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
- I do not feel that this "interrogation" is demonstrating the Wikipedia spirit of assuming good faith. I am assuming that you act in good faith, even if we do not agree in a discussion. No, I haven't received an email and I do not know personally neither you nor the other participants in the discussion. Let's end this here.
- I Hope that discussions will be on contents, not binary, and wish for consensus. I hope that you hope for that too. Agmonsnir (talk) 19:36, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

Jerusalem
[edit]I checked your edit and its description. Sorry I was wrong, but not completely. Whole Sur Baher or Umm Tuba does is not under Palestinian controls. Parts of these neighborhoods are under PA control. Regarding other towns and suburbs, certain parts of these neighborhoods are under PA control. Pls see to it Kharbaan Ghaltaan (talk) 16:45, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
- Indeed, Kharbaan Ghaltaan , you were not completely wrong and some parts of these villages around Jerusalem are under Israeli control as neighborhoods, and other parts are on areas C, B or A. Unfortunately I do not have time now to delve into the exact facts - some I know well and some require me to double-check. But it is better to keep this text out until we have the correct facts. I appreciate your investment in the article (the other edits you made there were helpful) as well as some other important edits that I encountered by you. Thanks! Agmonsnir (talk) 17:21, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks. I will do further research on internet and present see to it Kharbaan Ghaltaan (talk) 18:30, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
- Hello, regarding about Jerusalem I came to these facts:
- Palestinian Authority was established in Oslo Accords, where the Palestinian Jerusalem Governorate notified and was divided into two subdistricts — J1 Jerusalem and J2 Jerusalem. J1 is actual city limit of Jerusalem, which has been annexed by Israel into its Jerusalem Municipality. While J2 is the remaining parts of Jerusalem Governorate, in which many places are under Palestinian control, as Area A or Area B. Source: https://www.jerusalemstory.com/en/lexicon/j2
- "Parts" of Sur Baher, Wadi al-Hummus and Umm Tuba altogether are in Area A and Area B, which is divided into J1 and J2."Parts" of Beit Hanina, Jabel Mukaber (Ash-Sheikh Sa'd) and 'Arab al-Jahalin are in Area. Al-Ram and Dahiyat al-Barid neighborhood together, also in Jerusalem is mostly are classified as Area B.
- A portion of Kafr 'Aqab is in Palestinian control, since its attached with Ramallah
- Kafr 'Aqab, Dahiat al-Salam, Ras Shehadeh and Ras Khamis are located beyond the barrier, whose control come in hands of Palestinian Authority
- Greece, Turkey, Spain, Belgium, UK, France, Holy See, Italy, and Sweden have their consulates in Jerusalem, which serves to Palestine, instead of Israel. A Palestinian Authority regional office and an electoral office is located in the Dahiyat al Barid neighborhood. source: https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2017-03-21/ty-article/.premium/police-were-unaware-of-jerusalem-city-limits-when-shuttering-palestinian-mapping-office/0000017f-e06d-d38f-a57f-e67f01870000 The Jerusalem Affairs Office of the Palestinian Authority and the Ministry of Interior have their offices in the Abu Dis suburb of Jerusalem. Source: https://www.haaretz.com/2004-01-19/ty-article/pa-institutions-in-abu-dis-cut-off-from-east-jerusalem/0000017f-db21-d3a5-af7f-fbaf31240000
- In Jerusalem, PA is responsible for running religious courts and institutions in Jerusalem (For This I have to check it correctly, then I will see)
- I got this facts. I will update it on Jerusalem, if you want to correct anything then feel free to tell me. thank you Kharbaan Ghaltaan (talk) 12:17, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
- Wadi al-Hummus is indeed outside outside of the Israeli Jerusalem (i.e., the boundaries of Jerusalem as declared/annexed by Israel). All the rest of Sur Baher (as usually Wadi al-Hummus is regarded as a part of Sur baher) is inside the Israeli Jerusalem. Also All Umm Tuba is inside Israeli Jerusalem.
- To my best knowledge a very small part of Beit Hanina (Dahiat El-Barid, but not sure if it is considered a part of bein Hanina) is probably in J2, as well as the old village of Beit Hanina (that is not related to the neighborhood of Beit Hanina - just have the same name). Jabel El-Mukabber is totally in Israeli Jerusalem, while Sheikh Saad is not (but it is not a part of Jabel El-Mukaber).
- Indeed, a portion of Kafr 'Aqab is in Palestinian control, and the other part is a part of Israeli Jerusalem.
- Dahiat al-Salam, Ras Shehadeh and Ras Khamis are located beyond the barrier, but are still a part of Israeli Jerusalem (there are a few neighborhoods beyond the barrier who are still in the lines of Israeli Jerusalem.
- I cannot dedicate now to check which parts of J2 are A, B or C.
- I hope it helps! Agmonsnir (talk) 15:02, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
- Yes it is inside barrier, portions of these neighborhoods are under Palestinian control.
- I have extracted it from Sur Baher:
- Israel has divided Sur Bahir & Umm Tuba (including Wadi al-Hummus and maybe Umm Leisun too) in two main parts: the western part, called "J1", (about 6,476 dunums (78.5% of the towns’ total area)) is under the control of the Jerusalem Municipality. The eastern part (1,769 dunums (21.5% of the towns’ total area)), called "J2", is divided into: 705 dunams, 40%, classified as Area A,[1] 55 dunams, 3% as Area B,[1] 1,009 dunams, 57% as Area C[1] Part of "J2" is inside the wall, part of it is outside.[1]
- source: source 1, [1], source 3, source 4,
- While about other
- Beit Hanina is may be divided by the barrier. Inside barrier, it is under control of Israel. While outside barrier is in control of Palestine and Israel.
- While Al-Ram & Dahiyat al Barid, they are totally Area B.
- J2 includes mostly suburbs, nearby towns and villages. Few neighborhoods are also divided between J1 and J2.
- Pls check if it is correct Kharbaan Ghaltaan (talk) 16:13, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
- See the map in Sur Baher. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/af/Sur_Baher_Risk_of_Demolitions.jpg - Umm Tuba is totally in the western part, hence it is all inside Israeli Jerusalem. About Sur Baher - yes, I suppose the facts are correct.
- All the neighborhood of Beit Hanina is inside the barrier and a part of Jerusalem, The old village of Beit Hanina (which is around 1km from the neighborhood) is beyond the barrier and outside Israeli Jerusalem.
- Al-Ram & Dahiyat al Barid, they are in J2.
- Yes, J2 is mainly suburbs, nearby towns and villages.
- Agmonsnir (talk) 17:38, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
- I didn't check that much deeply, but its often referred to as Sur Baher & Umm Tuba together. While Umm Leisun and Wadi Al Hummus are also certain parts of this neighborhood, which wholly or half under full or partial control of PA. However, they are designated as municipalities or village councils. Forget about the readers, not even Wikipedia or in Wikipedia, no one can explain it much deeply. According to some, Palestinian controlled towns and suburbs are considered as neighborhood of the city and according to others it is adjacent or satellite part of Jerusalem. If I am not wrong, then a separate article titled "Jerusalem in Oslo Accords", which will detail about parts of Jerusalem, which are under PA control, PA operation and function in Jerusalem and condition of those neighborhoods which are beyond separation barrier Kharbaan Ghaltaan (talk) 18:22, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
- Well, what all I have achieved and verified from you, can I update those things in Jerusalem Kharbaan Ghaltaan (talk) 18:23, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
- Please do. Thanks! Agmonsnir (talk) 18:47, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
- Alr. Thanks. I assume that you didn't said by frustration and joke Kharbaan Ghaltaan (talk) 18:58, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
- Please do. Thanks! Agmonsnir (talk) 18:47, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
