I made changes to WZ-10 and Type-99 pages
Hello, the reason I made changes to the WZ-10 and Type-99 changes is that I have noticed that you posted many incorrect and bias information regarding Chinese military hardware. I just came across Type-99 and WZ-10 and saw you undo changes which are not reasonable so I reverted them. Especially the Type-99 page, where you claim that it is a variant of the T-72 which is totally not true !! I have googled the sources you provided, they are nothing but personal blogs and forums. I have added sources to debunk your false claim. Now, I will revert the Type-99 page back. I do not care about the WZ-10 page.

Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.116.175.123 (talk) 22:45, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

BTW, you and "RevelovingPersonalityConduct" are not the same person right?

If you are, then you are a sock !!
 * I invite you to take part on the talk pages. Rather than reverting aimlessly, engage in discussion with the editors. Kind regards, Khazar (talk) 22:50, 10 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Also, please be civil when accusing otehrs of sock puppetry, this is my only account. Khazar (talk) 22:50, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

What is the point of the talk page? I have added reliable sources while your claims are nothing but personal blogs and forums. You are just a Russian whom can not stand the fact that Type-99 is a Chinese design and will do anything to make it look like a russian copy !!! Just like you did to the WZ-10 page !!!

BTW, I have reported you to admin for disruptive editing, removal of sourced content !

--162.74.52.147 (talk) 22:55, 10 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Hello. I recommend that you also engage in the page discussion please. The Type 99 is a T-72 variant according to expert Carlo Kopp. Khazar (talk) 22:58, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

Full Apology
Listen, you were right I did act uncivil and would like to formally apologize about it. After seeing the way you were talking about Karaites and Sephardim/Mizrahim I was under the impression you were going to try to make all Jews out to be Rabbinic Ashkenazi Jews. I do hope though that you have learned something about Karaite Judaism. Any way I'm formally apologizing here. I do think you should consider however how your username might be problematic. I hope you can forgive me and if you want I can try to erase that part of the discussion. I hope in the future we can work together for the betterment of not only Wikipedia but Jewry as well. Anyway do look up Karaite Judaism and the difference between that and the Crimean Karaites. And please accept my apology.-Rainbowofpeace (talk) 00:55, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
 * I fully accept your apology. Karaite Judaism is very interesting and I'll be sure to read more about it. I admit that my username can cause some people to be wary of me when I edit articles related to Jewish people and Judaism. But that never occurred to me because I was more interested with Central Asian history at the time than the Khazar theory. I'm glad you took the time to note your mistake and apologize and I'd also like to thank you for being empathetic regarding my username. Khazar (talk) 02:46, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
 * So here's a kitty. We good?-Rainbowofpeace (talk) 06:34, 21 March 2014 (UTC)

SPYDER
I appreciate your effort to make SPYDER a better article! Flayer (talk) 07:55, 27 December 2014 (UTC)
 * You're welcome. I'm replacing all the references with reliable sources like pages from Rafael's official website. Khazar (talk) 02:25, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

SPYDER G.A. recommendations

 * User:Nick-D kindly responded to a request to check the article over. Here are his recommendations in full;

Hi, articles are raised to GA status after passing a GA review via WP:GAN - typically a single editor reviews each nomination. The criteria articles need to meet to reach GA status are set out at Wikipedia:Good article criteria, and the instructions for nominating articles are at Wikipedia:Good article nominations/Instructions. You might also want to look for articles on comparable topics which are at GA status for some practical guidance - there's a comprehensive list at Wikipedia:Good articles/Warfare#Weapons, equipment and buildings. I'm not at all familiar with the SPYDER system (or air defence systems more generally to be honest), but from a quick skim of the article the main things which are missing are material on the development of the system and an independent assessment of its performance (the technical aspects of the article are mainly referenced to its manufacturer's website). A discussion of the roles it fills in each country would also be useful. The operational use and export sections are also duplicative (with it being unclear if Georgia did in fact operate this system), and I'd be interested to know why the Israeli Defense Force doesn't operate this apparently-successful Israeli system. I hope that this is helpful. Regards, Nick-D (talk) 04:24, 31 December 2014 (UTC)

This gives some indications as to areas of weakness indicating improvement. Cheers! Irondome (talk) 18:02, 31 December 2014 (UTC)

A kitten for you!
I am sorry to see that Shulinjiang has you in his cross hairs as well. Jokes and insults about the Holocaust are never a good thing and I didn't expect him to stoop so low. Again I am sorry that you had to get involved in this and I hope this kitten will cheer you up :)

Pvpoodle (talk) 05:10, 14 January 2015 (UTC) 
 * Thanks for the kitty! Yeah, that Anti-Semitism was pretty low of him. You don't have anything to feel sorry for because I would always be happy to get rid of POV pushing. Khazar (talk) 11:40, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

I'm sorry your user page was vandalised
And also that your name has been bandied about in an unpleasant manner. I have no idea whether we agree on politics or any matter, but I do not like to see fellow editors being attacked. Fiddle  Faddle  09:03, 15 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your condolences. I recently got page protection so I'm safe for months :-)

Ashkenazi Jews Lead
Hi there, as you asked I put forward my rationale behind the minor edits to the article lead on the talk page. However, based on WP:ROWN, I hope you can understand why I feel justified in keeping my edit until the conversation plays out (WP:BOLD only mandates a pre-discussion return to the status quo in major edits, and I think we can agree mine doesn't change the general meaning of the article.) Look forward to your feedback! Benjitheijneb (talk) 09:20, 23 May 2015 (UTC)

Warning
If you make another edit to Ashkenazi Jews to push your POV, against consensus, I will ask for you to be banned from this article. Debresser (talk) 06:17, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion
Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you. J.K Nakkila (talk) 03:16, 15 July 2015 (UTC)
 * So at face value there's not much to this, but I've thoroughly reviewed the dispute. The discussion has been going on since February and over time the case appears to have sufficiently been made in favor of including the content you keep trying to remove and you do appear to be the only one contesting its inclusion, with never-ending new excuses, all of which have been amply debated and argued. Some of the points raised by you appear to be nothing short of a misrepresentation of policy (claiming the content represented an "extreme" or "fringe" point of view) and you have also personally attacked the other editors in the dispute, accusing them of bad faith and threatening them with administrative sanctions. Multiple sources have now been presented and there is a sound consensus that the content can be included. After taking a month off, you have returned directly to this dispute and resumed removing the content without any discussion. For both ignoring the extensive discussion that has already taken place and resuming a long-running edit war and dispute in which you have already conducted yourself substandardly, you leave me no choice but to block you for a week. I strongly suggest you change your approach from editing upon your return. S warm   we ♥ our hive  05:01, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

July 2015
You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 week for persistent disruptive editing. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text below this notice:. S warm  we ♥ our hive  05:01, 15 July 2015 (UTC)


 * If my above explanation was not sufficient for you, see my additional explanation at your WP:AN3 report, both of which extensively rationalize the one week block for disruptive editing. Furthermore, while it's not of the utmost relevance, yes, baseless accusations of bad faith contravene both WP:AGF and WP:NPA. Regards, S warm   we ♥ our hive  05:19, 15 July 2015 (UTC)
 * I would like to hear from another administrator as well. My points stand and I would appreciate a review for my appeal. Khazar (talk) 05:31, 15 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Although I am not an admin, I completely recognize your behavior as depicted above from another article, and agree that you must be made to understand that your unwillingness to "get the point" is tiring for other editors, and at a certain point becomes detrimental. Even here and now you continue to push your opinion. In view of the long-time and repeated behavior, and the fact that even up to this moment you don't get the point, I support the measure implemented, including its length. Debresser (talk) 09:07, 15 July 2015 (UTC)
 * In Al Khazar's defence, could I please draw everyone's attention to the fact that the Bellingcat issue has been a bone of contention on multiple articles, and is still being hotly disputed at the RSN. While there has been an awkward consensus on using it for some articles surrounding events in Ukraine (i.e., RS have reported on Bellingcat's findings, therefore it is appropriate to use specifically with INTEXT attribution), it remains problematic for high profile claims per NOTNEWS. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 22:34, 15 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Oh well. What can I do at this point? We all have to move on and let it go. At least this ban resparked my interest in constructively editting Wikipedia. Khazar (talk) 01:34, 23 July 2015 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 week for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text below this notice:. During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Drmies (talk) 23:36, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

Khazar (talk) 23:39, 10 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Both users were obviously edit warring, even past the bright line of 3R--Khazar is at 7, I believe. The content dispute was handled inappropriately, one might say. The IP is blocked for 48 hours; Khazar, who's been blocked for disruption and edit warring before, is blocked for a week--a rather mild penalty, one might say. Drmies (talk) 00:00, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I've requested a block appeal and I would appreciate a fair review. I believe that the IPs are indeed the same and could be sock puppets of each other. Kind regards, Khazar (talk) 00:12, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Sorry Khazar, the report is closed. You have to understand that edit warring is edit warring even if you're right. There are no BLP exemptions, no exemptions for vandalism reverts in this article. But maybe another admin will see this differently. Drmies (talk) 00:17, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Even when being as civil as possible? I already mentioned sock puppetry in effect and that would qualify as an exception to the WP:3RR rule. Khazar (talk) 00:19, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
 * This is taken from WP:3RR:

The following actions are not counted as reverts for the purposes of 3RR: Khazar (talk) 00:20, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
 * 1) Reverting actions performed by banned users, and sockpuppets of banned or blocked users.
 * And whose sock is that IP? Max Semenik (talk) 00:32, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
 * There was an incident about it here. He also harrassed RovingConstructor Personality here. I believe that it is the work of the same user who has been edit warring on the CAIC Z-10 article for over a year. The user is Shulinjiang and this was the investigation. One of his primary accounts was User talk:Tamlinwah who was blocked for 2 weeks. Kind regards, Khazar (talk) 00:40, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I should also add that I've been vandalized by anti-Semitic comments by this user's sock puppets and would appreciate it if the administrators reconsider my block. Kind regards, Khazar (talk) 00:42, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Hmmm. That's actually a lot more interesting. One sec.  Kuru   (talk)  00:49, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Take your time to review it. If I'm unblocked, I will still keep my promise of staying away from the Type 99 tank article for 1 full week. Kind regards, Khazar (talk) 00:50, 11 August 2015 (UTC)


 * , I'm interested to see what you come up with. I actually looked at that ANI report the other day. Al Khazar, if you thought you were reverting edits by a blocked/banned/socking user, why didn't you say so in your edit summaries? (Also, IP hopping is not the same as socking.) Drmies (talk) 01:00, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Concur, no amount of IP hopping is socking unless there's am active block in place on one of the previous IPs or a previous blocked account. I see a real dick of a troll that hops around on Blue Coat webhosts, AT&T proxies, and geolocates sometimes to Ohio. This fits both of those IPs used and would make the master likely . There's enough there that I'd lean towards unblocking so he can lay it out at the SPI., would you object to some leash? Kuru   (talk)  01:06, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
 * No problem, . But there are two conditions, Khazar. First, you must be more clear in your edit summary. If you're going to claim "I was reverting a sock", you can't do so afterwards. Second, if you can't make that claim (and if you can't you shouldn't), stop at 3, or don't start it at all: take it up with an administrator, for instance. You do NOT want to get in this kind of trouble, and we don't want it either. OK? Kuru, you can go ahead with the unblock, though I'd prefer to hear from Khazar first. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 01:32, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Will wait for the third party to agree to terms, as noted. Kuru   (talk)  01:35, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I've been following this through the WP:RFPP request and think that an unblock is reasonable to allow for an SPI investigation. Staying away from the article in question for a week sounds like a plan, if even only for a chance to take a break from the whole ordeal, so I strongly recommend it. I'm not going ahead with the unblock – just offering another opinion. Airplaneman   ✈  02:13, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
 * As far as I'm concerned Khazar doesn't need to stay away from the article, if their hunch was right. If the SPI turns out to provide decent technical and behavioral evidence, the IP edits are easily reversed and life can go on. Drmies (talk) 02:21, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Thank you for reconsidering my request., I fully understand all of the advice you've presented to me and I will obey the WP:3RR at all times while providing an edit summary regardless of whether I believe I'm reverting a sock or believe that I'm right. I'm still going to stay away from the Type 99 tank article for a full week to avoid any more trouble. The main reason that I was quiet at first about the IP addresses being possible sock puppets was because I didn't want to assume bad faith. I will avoid edit wars and keep my nose clean from now on. As for the IP addresses, I will report them within the next 24 hrs in the SPI of user Shulinjiang. Kind regards, Khazar (talk) 03:43, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
 * It's done. Let's see if some decent ideas can come out of the SPI. Thank you --and thank you and . Drmies (talk) 04:13, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I've submitted all the evidence that is needed here. I've left out redundant examples to make it brief. Kind regards, Khazar (talk) 00:52, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

History of the Russian Jews - revert
Dear Al Khazar,

I have just noticed that you deleted wholesale all the material I added to the article on the history of the Russian Jews eight days ago. My additions involved considerable work, and the material was carefully sourced and I believe useful and accurate. Could you please explain why you deleted it?

Yours sincerely, Pdruknl Pdruknl (talk) 15:30, 30 August 2015 (UTC)

Can we ban this idiot from posting on Chinese military hardware?
He keeps deleting actual sources as "government mouthpieces" or propaganda/tabloid pieces, but then posts some of the most unreliable garbage sources that have zero qualification to speak on the issues I've ever seen as "reliable" ones.

You literally have zero idea what the hell you're talking about, and it's funny you call yourself so against vandals when that's exactly what you're doing right now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.168.140.161 (talk) 11:25, 23 September 2015 (UTC)

 * Strike that. I've noticed that there are few IP addresses with the exact same style of editing and points. One of these IP addresses was banned for a month for being linked to Shulinjiang. Therefore, I've deleted all the comments made by these IP addresses. Khazar (talk) 22:05, 29 September 2015 (UTC)
