The embassy bombing article
On behalf of the editing community, I'm sorry to you and your cousin that that untrue claim became so difficult for you to remove. One of the editors who reverted the removal has been blocked (for unrelated reasons), and I had a chat with the other about being cautious with these things. I've also spoken with administrators about how to deal with the user responsible for adding it in the first place. Please know that Wikipedia takes biographical content related to living people very seriously, but, sadly, sometimes something falls through the cracks.

I realize you probably came here just to make that one edit, but I do hope you stick around! There's lots to do here. Check out the links in the welcome message above, or message me either on my talk page or by replying here with the template. Thanks, and again, sorry for the inconvenience. -- Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she/they) 08:29, 24 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Hello Tamzin,
 * Nice to hear from you my friend, and thank you so much for your message and assistance.
 * Is it possible to know the name of the publisher that got blocked? The reason is that this thing is not the first time, first wrong-doing attempt on my cousin and I was on facebook the second on linked-in, the third was with the local government in lebanon, now apparently the person has some sort of political power in Lebanon, we have nothing to hide thats why im being honest with you about what is going on, might yourself be able to help in providing me with the name.
 * Regarding my presence on wikipedia, this is my first time creating an account and editing, but i have used wikipedia numerous times and i usually trust the published information based on my own researches. Wikipedia is a trusted source on information in my opinion and i will always be present.
 * Thank you again for your assistance and for the whole Wikipedia team.

 * Hi, AhmadMoety. So, to be clear, the user who got blocked was not the one that added it originally. They were just someone reverting random edits across a number of articles, and they were blocked for unrelated reasons. The original content was added by someone who uses the username, through an illegitimate alternate account called . They were blocked at the time for the abuse of multiple accounts, but sadly people overlooked what they'd actually been doing with those accounts, so the edits stayed. They more recently appear to have used the account . This hasn't just been about your cousin, but also about a few random other people in Lebanon, all with seemingly no connection to crime or terrorism. They haven't edited in a few months, so I'm going to be keeping an eye on them for now, and I'll leave them an "only warning"; I don't think there's much else we can do for now. Oh, also, I contacted an oversighter about this, who's made it so that now even most administrators can't see what was written about your cousin. --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she/they) 21:15, 24 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Hello Tamzin,
 * Much appreciated my friend.
 * Yes i guess you are right i dont think there is anyway to get the real person other than the IP address, i think that should be visible somehow to someone of the admins.
 * Anyways you are much appreciated for everything you have done, and its a pleasure meeting someone as intellectual, logical and understanding as yourself.
 * Wish you all the best AhmadMoety (talk) 05:02, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Aww, I'm flattered.  Glad we've been able to (mostly) resolve this. As to an IP address, you'd only be able to get that from Wikipedia's operators, the Wikimedia Foundation, and their policy is to only hand such things over with a court order, and they have a near-perfect record in court, so I don't think you'd have much luck that way. (If you are considering that, Wikipedia has a policy against threatening litigation on-wiki, so best we not discuss it further.) If you see any vandalism like this again in the future, please immediately revert it with a summary like WP:BLP-violating WP:HOAX (markup:  ) and then contact me, either at User talk:Tamzin or (slower but more private) at Special:EmailUser/Tamzin, and I can take care of the rest of the cleanup. Or if I'm not around (check Special:Contributions/Tamzin to see when I last edited), or if you'd just prefer to skip the middle-man, to contact the category of users who can delete things even from most admins' view, called oversighters, you can use Special:EmailUser/Oversight; reference , which is the case number from when I contacted them the other day, and link to this thread. (All for future reference, I mean. Right now there's nothing left to be done.)  --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she/they) 16:07, 27 October 2021 (UTC)

Hello Tamzin,

Much appreciated my friend, and thank you for all the useful information, prior help and assistance to come. Glad to be part of a community containing a person as yourself, and a community that works hard to spread true knowledge throughout the whole world.

Wishing you all the best for the coming days my friend :)
