Welcome! Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * The Five Pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Manual of Style

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Please respect others' copyrights; do not copy and paste the contents from webpages directly.
 * Please use a neutral point of view when editing articles; this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
 * Do not add unreasonable contents into any articles, such as: copyrighted text, advertisement messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Adding such unreasonable information or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism, and will result in your account being blocked.

The Wikipedia Tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;. Four tildes (&#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;) produces your name and the current date.

Alger Hiss
Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia under the three-revert rule, which states that nobody may revert a single page more than three times in 24 hours. (Note: this also means editing the page to reinsert an old edit. If the effect of your actions is to revert back, it qualifies as a revert.) At least two editors disagree with the edit you have repeatedly made to Alger Hiss, and reasons have been given in the edit summaries. As I say in my most recent edit summary, if you want to argue for this edit you are more than welcome to do so in the Talk:Alger Hiss page. KarlBunker 02:53, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Battle of Jenin
Your outrage at the claims made in this article are understandable. But we need to stick to the WP policy on, for instance, "Original Research", "Synthesis" and the rest of it. The fact that others are less careful doesn't allow us to get away with anything. Pace yourself, look at the information available, and concentrate on getting good information into the articles of the encyclopedia. There's masses of it out there - and it would be scandalous if other editors are able to keep it out indefinitely. Regards, PalestineRemembered 22:52, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

good word
i just thought i'd give you a good word for what seems to be a fair edit that advances the article. i may play with it some in the future to be less "numbered", but in general, i feel this edit was constructive.  Jaakobou Chalk Talk  20:18, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

p.s. as we discussed on talk, if you plan on using the problematic title of AI, then you should also include the title of CAMERA.  Jaakobou Chalk Talk  20:22, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

question - is it safe to say that i can archive this section?  Jaakobou Chalk Talk  06:59, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

CAMERA article is entitled "A Study in Palestine Duplicity and Media Indifference"

 * I do not know what Camera article you are referring to. Blindjustice 21:04, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
 * The article in question is entitled "A Study in Palestinian Duplicity and Media Indifference" - and contains such gems as "despite copious evidence of their blatant lying ... refuting their fictitious 'massacre'". Needless to say, we should never be using such very poor material in the encyclopedia, it's clearly not an acceptable RS. (But it's further proof that the "No Massacre" thesis is a "Minor View"!) PalestineRemembered 11:53, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Note
your recent edits have exceeded the definition of POV and i suggest you avoid what could be regarded as vandalism in the future.  Jaakobou Chalk Talk  02:20, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Careful
Your recent edit on Battle of Jenin - - was a serious violation on POV, as you've added WP:WEASEL words ("some") to describe interpretations of secondary sources


 * There have been many reports about atrocities reported in the Israeli newspaper Ha'aretz. Ignoring these reports has made this an unbalanced article giving undue weight to the Israeli government narative and zero weight to the Palestinian narative. I was just trying to add balance.

and added a Palestinian report submitted to the Secretary-General quote ("Many credible sources have reported about atrocities committed... it is probable that a massacre and a crime against humanity might have been committed in the Jenin refugee camp") under a "However, the UN report contained the following" descriptive, giving the Palestinian submission a a UN validation quality it does not posses.  Jaakobou Chalk Talk  03:05, 14 April 2008 (UTC)


 * "However, the UN report contained the following" is a direct quote from the report from the UN web site.Blindjustice (talk) 20:06, 16 April 2008 (UTC)


 * No it isn't - see source.  Jaakobou Chalk Talk  20:37, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Type of sources
Hi. I noticed in your edit summary, for Battle of Jenin, you mentioned primary and secondary sources. Though I don't know you, I hope you don't mind my recommending the Wikipedia policy about primary and secondary sources. Maybe this seems counter-intuitive, but a key point is that "Any interpretation of primary source material requires a secondary source." This is because the encyclopedia is mainly a "tertiary" source that depends on solid secondary sources, and because the interpretation of primary sources would draw us into original research, i.e., to be avoided. If the topic concerns media coverage of an event, then you are right to see that a given media report like Ha'aretz  is functioning as a primary source, which therefore means that we should rely on secondary sources that put the Ha'aretz and other coverage into the proper context and analysis. I say this without prejudicing whether your proposed finding ("evidence of massacre") is correct or not. See what I mean? Hope this is useful. HG | Talk 16:10, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Deir Yassin massacre
Your recent revert violated the 24-hour restriction that applies to the article under WP:ARBPIA. It's too late for you to self-revert and fix the problem so I won't report you, but next time you will be reported and you may be blocked from editing. — MShabazz Talk/Stalk 22:11, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

Saying another editor's constructive edits are "Vandalism" would be a personal attack. Please retract this baseless accusation. Icewhiz (talk) 08:45, 17 February 2019 (UTC)

The total deletion of an edit is NOT constructive, the removal of reputable sources is vandalism.
The wholesale deletion of relevant information, along with its reputable sources, is indeed vandalism.Blindjustice (talk) 22:10, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
