Edit warring
I've blocked 186.79.224.133 for edit warring. If you had received a prior warning about it, I'd've blocked you as well since you were just as guilty. Here's the standard warning:

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Draft:Occupied Palestine Resolution copyright concern

Misleading edit summary
Hello, in future please don't use misleading edit summaries to make controversial edits, as you did here. Thanks,  IgnorantArmies  (talk)  12:36, 13 December 2016 (UTC)

December 2016
Please stop making disruptive edits, as you did at Moses. If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing.  IgnorantArmies  (talk)  14:21, 13 December 2016 (UTC)
 * If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
 * If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Robert Kiyosaki. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism can result in the loss of editing privileges. ''This unexplained revert is disruptive. I won't call it vandalism, but rolling back an edit like that without any explanation is unacceptable in a collaborative environment. Thank you. '' Drmies (talk) 18:53, 13 December 2016 (UTC)

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:


 * User contributions
 * Recent changes
 * Watchlists
 * Revision differences
 * IRC channels
 * Related changes
 * New pages list
 * Article editing history

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting. Thanks! Drmies (talk) 18:53, 13 December 2016 (UTC)

Aleppo offensive (November–December 2016)
Please go to the article's talk page. Earlier reports the battle was over were premature, with the offensive/fighting resuming after the collapse of the ceasefire today. No sources are calling up to 14 Dec. the main phase and today's sources clearly state rebel territory still covers 2.5 square km, about 1 percent. EkoGraf (talk) 17:21, 14 December 2016 (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. 124.148.103.22 (talk) 03:11, 28 December 2016 (UTC)

"as an anon no less"
That could be construed as inappropriate, unless you had evidence that that editor was using their IP to avoid scrutiny. Ian.thomson (talk) 03:41, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

We don't have any staff
so why are you claiming we do? And you'd better read WP:Edit warring: "The three-revert rule is a convenient limit for occasions when an edit war is happening fairly quickly, but it is not a definition of "edit warring", and it is perfectly possible to edit war without breaking the three-revert rule, or even coming close to doing so." Administrators like me determine what is edit warring. Doug Weller talk 17:47, 1 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Ah, I see you've been told before that edit warring isn't exclusively breaking 3RR in 24 hours. So that part of my message shouldn't have been necessary. Doug Weller  talk 17:49, 1 January 2017 (UTC)

Edit war warning
Your recent editing history at Solomon's Temple shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Hello, I noticed that you may have recently made edits while logged out. Making edits while logged out reveals your IP address, which may allow others to determine your location and identity. Wikipedia's policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow the use of both an account and an IP address by the same person in the same setting. Note that the abusive use of multiple accounts or evasion of a blockage may result to you to have been blocked from editing Wikipedia. If this was not your intention, please remember to log in when editing. This is your first and only official warning (and third warning overall) about sockpuppetry. Any further edits you make with or any other accounts (or IP addresses) will result in a report to WP:SPI. 124.148.103.22 (talk) 02:10, 3 January 2017 (UTC)

Your edit at Jewish holidays
Hi, BedrockPerson. At risk of sounding like an WP:OWNER, there is a reason that I strongly preferred the original organizational scheme. The rest of the article is organized by holiday, and "High Holy Days" isn't a holiday, it's a season of holidays. And just what that phrase encompasses is not always agreed uniformly. So if you feel strongly about it, would you mind taking it to Talk:Jewish holidays first? If there is consensus there—and I would state my preference there, then be quiet—then I'll be happy to concede the point. StevenJ81 (talk) 16:26, 31 January 2017 (UTC)

Reference errors on 4 February
Hello, I'm ReferenceBot. I have automatically detected that an edit performed by you may have introduced errors in referencing. as follows: Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted.

Reminder
I see you have been warned about edit warring before. Wikipedia is about community editing. When reverted, you should not continue to push your opinion in edits, but rasher discuss the issue first on the talkpage, and make an additional edit only if and after a clear consensus has been reached. See WP:BRD. Debresser (talk) 22:41, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

This is your last warning. One more edit without discussing it first, and I will have you blocked. This is a site for community editing, and even if you would be ten times right, but you may not edit war. I am of course referring to your behavior on Kingdom of Judah.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. 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.
 * 1) Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

Dionysus and Yahweh
Hi BedrockPerson. The perceived resemblance (per Plutarch and his contemporaries/sources) is indeed fascinating, but cannot be considered a reliable guide to the real-world functional or theological equivalence of Dionysus/Bacchus and the God of the Jews. Plutarch and the source authors he used in this construction - or rather, interpretive re-construction of Judaic ritual and its meaning (particularly Sukkot) - almost certainly had no personal or observational experience of Judaism or its theology. And one can absolutely guarantee that no rabbinical or Sadduċee source would support it. This is one of those frequent instances of a remarkable assertion by primary sources as potentially misleading; I've come across no secondary or tertiary source that supports the equation of Bacchus and Yahweh - the question is extensively covered by several such modern secondary sources. One example covers the background: James M. Scott, "Bacchius Iudaeus: A Denarius Commemorating Pompey’s Victory over Judea" Novum Testamentum et Orbis Antiquus/Studien zur Umwelt des Neuen Testaments, 104. Göttingen: Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht, 2015. And another here - Przemysław Piwowarczyk, The Jewish Festival of Sukkot in the Eyes of the Pagan Authors, Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Śląskiego, Scripta Classica

Regards, Haploidavey (talk) 19:42, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
 * I would like to apologize. BedrockPerson's edit to Dionysus seems to have been motivated as the result of a misunderstanding of what I wrote in the article on Yahweh. In the article, I briefly mentioned the fact that Plutarch equated Yahweh with Dionysus. BedrockPerson seems to have misunderstood what I was saying and interpreted this to mean that Yahweh was the Jewish equivalent of Dionysus, which is completely false. Just because one Greek writer interpreted Yahweh and Dionysus as equivalent does not mean there was actually any connection between the two. In any case, even if there was a connection between them, there would certainly be no justification for listing Yahweh as the Canaanite equivalent of Dionysus in the infobox since this would be thoroughly misleading at the very best. I may go back to my edit and revise it to make sure that this point is made entirely clear. --Katolophyromai (talk) 21:42, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
 * That's a commendable attitude! And thank you for clarifying. Haploidavey (talk) 21:59, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

I noticed your recent edit to Croesus does not have an edit summary.&#32;Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:


 * User contributions
 * Recent changes

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting. - LouisAragon (talk) 15:39, 2 March 2017 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Kendall-K1. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person   on Kim Jong-nam, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. We can't use "infobox criminal" for these women because they have not been convicted of any crime. See the template documentation and the BLP policy. Kendall-K1 (talk) 11:24, 7 March 2017 (UTC)

1240s BC
So, when did each of these events happen? What's your evidence? — Smjg (talk) 13:06, 6 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Dude. We have a page for Deborah AND The Battle of Mount Tabor with plenty of citations for the 12th and 11th century. You're placing events in the late 13th century. Seriously, read and do some research before you fly off the handles. The earliest estimate for Deborah's birth is 1107 BCE, that's more than 130 years after you said she partook in a battle that occurred in the middle of her life. Come on man. BedrockPerson (talk) 14:25, 6 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Sorry about that. I guess your edit just looked like vandalism because (a) those events had remained there for 10 years (b) removing them left the page with no actual content.  Still, why are you accusing me of placing them at that time?  I didn't add them to the page in the first place. — Smjg (talk) 12:58, 7 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Yeah, well…I suppose I probably could've at least provided an edit reason or something. BedrockPerson (talk) 13:48, 7 March 2017 (UTC)

I have a funny, off topic question...
How does one manages to become both Karaite Jew, as well as a Reform Jew? Either way, it is always nice to find a Karaite Jew.--Bolter21 (talk to me) 23:14, 10 March 2017 (UTC)


 * It really just comes down to retaining Reform values while holding Torah as a higher authority over Talmud or something like that. BedrockPerson (talk) 23:39, 10 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Interesting... Nice to meet you and have a great Purim.--Bolter21 (talk to me) 01:17, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

Block
You've been blocked for 24 hours for exceeding the One revert rule contingent upon Palestine-Israel articles 3 Arbitration Restrictions. Please be more careful in the future. El_C 02:13, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Looks like I was mislead. ARBPIA notice was not attached to the article. I will do so now. You are, meanwhile, unblocked with my apologies. I should have looked rather than take someone's word for it, so that's on me. Note that 1RR restrictions will come into effect as soon as I attach the ARBPIA notice to the talk page. Sorry, again. El_C 02:19, 11 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Well, damaged professionalism aside, I appreciate the fact you took the time to apologize for the mistake. BedrockPerson (talk) 02:28, 11 March 2017 (UTC)


 * I've blocked over 3,000 users, my professionalism can take the hit! I regret though it came at your expense albeit briefly. I was under a misapprehension, but should have done the leg-work. So, again, that's on me. I've now attached the ARBPIA notice and semiprotected the page per the now-active restrictions. Thanks. El_C 02:35, 11 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Hey, all's well as they say. BedrockPerson (talk) 02:36, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

Note that I'm not 100 percent on there needing to be a notice for the restrictions to be in effect. That's just my understanding of of ARBPIA3, which I've yet to confirm. It's possible that any user can invoke them on any related article. I've not read ARBPIA3 closely enough to know for sure. But erring on the side of caution seemed prudent. The block may well have been valid after all. But I think I acted correctly by unblocking you rather than keeping you blocked while I found out. El_C 02:44, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
 * There is definitely no need for a notice on the page. As long as an editor is aware of the restrictions in general, he is supposed to know which pages they applies to himself. I do agree that erring on the side of leniency is a good thing, usually. Debresser (talk) 16:32, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
 * I can't see any reason to apply ARBPIA sanctions on that page. It has nothing to do with the conflict. Sir Joseph (talk) 04:11, 12 March 2017 (UTC)

Moving
When we move an article to a new name, as you did with  Umm at-Tut to  Umm al-Tut, we do not start a new article. Instead we use the "move" button on the top of the page (it is between the "history" and "watch/unwatch" buttons). This, so that the article history will remain intact, (I cannot be bothered with all the bureaucracy of undoing your edit this time, but for the next time....)

Sourcing on North Country Reform Temple
I note that in North Country Reform Temple you cite a book That I May dwell Among them several times. Can you please provide page numbers for the specific citations? This can be done by using rp wihtout needing to create multiple uses of cite book for the same source. Or you can use the page= or pages= parameter in cite book.

Please note that I added citaion metadata for the two NY Times articles cited, and added the OCLC number for the book, since it apparently does not have an ISBN. DES (talk) 19:34, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for May 10
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited North Country Reform Temple, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Temple Kol Ami. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Unsourced Material in Infoboxes
Hello,

This is in reference to your reversion of my edits on eight pages: Abdon (Judges), Ibzan, Othniel, Jair, Tola (biblical figure), Abimelech (Judges)]], Shamgar, Ehud.

As you really should know by now, because you’ve already been involved in disagreements over infoboxes, all material on Wikipedia must be sourced to reliable sources. When material is not sourced to reliable sources, it can be removed. When material is removed because it is unsourced, it should not be added back in to an article.

You can find this in Wikipedia policy at WP:PROVEIT.

"All content must be verifiable. The burden to demonstrate verifiability lies with the editor who adds or restores material, and is satisfied by providing a citation to a reliable source that directly supports the contribution. . . . Any material lacking a reliable source directly supporting it may be removed and should not be restored without an inline citation to a reliable source.”

Until you are able to find reliable sources to back up your claims about dates, you should not be adding unsourced dates into infoboxes.

In particular, you should not be engaging in this sort of behavior at this point because multiple people have already been involved in discussions with you about your addition of unsourced material to infoboxes at Talk:Moses, including myself, User:Doug Weller, User:PaleoNeonate, and User:PiCo. See also the “Infobox vs. Article” section and ensuing discussion at Talk:Abraham.

The addition of this kind of material is a violation of Wikipedia policy, it goes against the consensus of editors every time it is discussed, and it’s all going to get removed sooner or later. Please don’t keep creating work for other editors by adding unsourced contentious content. Alephb (talk) 16:40, 16 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Agreed. I'll also point out that only exceptionally should material be in an infobox that isn't in the article. See WP:INFOBOXPURPOSE. Doug Weller  talk 17:40, 16 May 2017 (UTC)

Why do you keep uploading poor-quality images of yourself that you've taken with a mobile-phone camera? Seems like you're obsessed with having other people look at the inside of your body. It's disruptive to Wikipedia, and also a disgusting habit that no one wants to see. 58.7.108.178 (talk) 16:49, 17 June 2017 (UTC)


 * Well thankfully you are not the one who determines what is disruptive and what isn't, because my edits are not at all disruptive and in fact add pertinent information to the article. You on the other hand have been extraordinarily rude to me and yourself have actually made disruptive edits. So, my suggestion is you cut it out before I report you for edit warring and disrespect and your IP range is blocked. Sound good? Sounds good. BedrockPerson (talk) 17:19, 17 June 2017 (UTC)

Hi BedrockPerson, I've made an entry on the talk page for Mouth ulcer regarding your picture. Rather than continually reverting its removal, it would be better to make a good argument for it there to reach a consensus with other page editors. AntiVan (talk) 02:41, 18 June 2017 (UTC)

A Reminder About Minor Edits
Hello, BedrockerUser.

Recently on Twelve Tribes of Israel, you added and then removed  an infobox, containing information not found elsewhere in the article. There's nothing wrong with adding or removing an infobox per se, but I noticed that you ticked the "this is a minor edit" box in both cases instead of giving an edit summary. This is bad practice on Wikipedia, and can appear deceitful to other uses. The "minor edit" feature is designed to signal to other editors when your edit is only superficial and makes no change to the meaning of the article.

You can find the Wikipedia page about minor edits at WP:MINOR, which states in part:

"A check to the minor edit box signifies that only superficial differences exist between the current and previous versions. Examples include typographical corrections, formatting and presentational changes, and rearrangements of text without modification of its content. A minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. . . . . Any change that affects the meaning of an article is not minor, even if it concerns a single word; for example, the addition or removal of "not" is not a minor edit."

Because infoboxes are a frequent subject of dispute, as you well know by now, the addition or removal of unsourced material in an infobox is not properly a "minor" edit. Alephb (talk) 19:44, 27 June 2017 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Joren. Your recent edit to the page Rabbi Akiva appears to have added incorrect information, so I have removed it for now. If you believe the information was correct, please cite a reliable source or discuss your change on the article's talk page. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. ''The source appears to state that he was martyred in 132. If the 135 date has better citations to support it, then please provide those citations. Thank you :)'' -- Joren (talk) 18:30, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for opening a discussion, but please don't misrepresent what other editors do, as you did here. If you would like further discussion or don't understand reasons given, you can ask about that simply ("Would you please explain further why you removed these references?), without writing things like "without consensus" or "without really saying why" which are not relevant and just pour sand in the gears of getting things done.

File permission problem with File:OrigtempleNCRT.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:OrigtempleNCRT.jpg, which you've attributed to estate of Clifford Herrick. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or

You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included.

Unsourced Material in Infoboxes, Again
As you've been told more than once by myself and User:Doug Weller (see here: and ), you shouldn't keep adding unsourced dates to infoboxes about biblical characters, as you recently did to Samuel and Habakkuk. According to WP:INFOBOX all material found in an infobox should be already found in the article. Please refrain from adding unsourced dates in the future. Alephb (talk) 03:44, 20 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Habakkuk:


 * "Chaldean rise to power is dated circa 612 BC, it is assumed he was active about that time, making him an early contemporary of Jeremiah and Zephaniah"


 * "The Book of Habakkuk is the eighth book of the 12 minor prophets of the Hebrew Bible. It is attributed to the prophet Habakkuk, and was probably composed in the late 7th century BC."


 * So, that's self explanatory.


 * Samuel:


 * "He was thus on the cusp of two eras. According to the text of the Books of Samuel, he also anointed the first two kings of the Kingdom of Israel: Saul (1050 BC) and David. (1010 BC)"


 * "According to the first-century Jewish historian Josephus, Samuel was about 11 years old."


 * "Samuel died and was buried in Ramah. According to classical rabbinical sources, this was at the age of fifty-two."


 * So, Saul was anointed ~1050 BC according to Albright, and David ~1010 BC. So, uncited? Unsourced? Nope.


 * BedrockPerson (talk) 14:04, 20 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Infoboxes are for uncontroversial, simple facts.  It is not clear if Samuel even existed, much less when he might have lived. Those dates are not appropriate for an infobox.  Likewise traditional burial place. Jytdog (talk) 14:30, 20 July 2017 (UTC)


 * The claims you're making are not sourced in the articles. When it comes to Habakkuk, if you wish to claim that he died in the 7th century, you need a source that says he died in the seventh century. Saying that he wrote a book around 612 does not prove that he kicked the bucket within the next twelve years. Jacob Neusner, for example, wrote A Life of Yohanan ben Zakkai in 1962, but, believe it or not, did not die before 1974. In fact, he made it all the way to 2016.


 * As for Samuel, try and think about the claim you're making here. You're mixing and matching one detail from the traditional rabbinic chronology -- which would place the accession of king David in the ninth century and give Saul only a two-year reign according to Seder Olam, with a claim from Albright, which would place Saul in the eleventh-century and give him 40 years.


 * What's worse, the article does not have any citation to Albright, or any citation for the claim that Samuel lived fifty-two years. So you're mixing and matching from uncited sources that contradict each other. If you want to claim dates, you need a cited source that directly supports your claim. None of this WP:OR or WP:RS business will cut it.


 * The issue is simple. If you want to add dates to infoboxes, find sources, cite those sources in the article, and find sources that directly support your claim, rather than mixing and matching from incompatible timelines to produce your numbers. I don't know how many different ways I can say that. Alephb (talk) 14:31, 20 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Fair enough. BedrockPerson (talk) 14:47, 20 July 2017 (UTC)

Edit war warning
You are heading swiftly for a TBAN. Start using the talk page.

Your recent editing history at Samuel shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Samaritanism into another page. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g.,. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted copied template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication.

Abimelech (Judges)
Hello, I have reverted some of your most recent edits on Abimelech (Judges). My reason is the excessive use of religious texts as a source. Though it wasn't entirely you, you have a common practice of using the Bible as a source which is fine, but too much and editors and readers will question the reliability and neutrality of the content associated with the source via WP:V, WP:OR, and WP:NPOV. If you had added biblical verses as your primary source years ago, it would have been accepted as the norm. for sourcing biblical related topics and content. However, over the years, editors have been implementing their own personal research through this style of sourcing, which has caused so many disputes and blocks to the point where the Wikipedia community had to update the policies and guidelines in more detail. Im not trying to discourage you from editing, I'm trying to keep you from doing something that could get you into trouble. Here is policy dealing with Islamic related articles: WP:MOSISLAM and a nutshell dealing with religious sourcing overall: WP:Reliable_source_examples#Religious_sources. (This message has or will be sent to another editor also.) Happy editing and Cheers! — 04:39, 30 July 2017 (UTC)
