You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Douglas Murray (author). This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. 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.

Points to note: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and 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. ''WP:ONUS is Wikipedia policy. If you have no respect for that I have no respect for you.''

 * 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.

Moses Z. Margolies and family. Or is it Moses S. Margolies
Thanks for your work on expanding the article for Moses Z. Margolies, which was part of a chain of new article creations more than 15 years ago that took me to to the 1933 anti-Nazi boycott and down through the Lookstein family. I had used the "Sebulun" spelling because that was what had been used in many of the older sources, but the orthography has clearly shifted to a "Z" as the first letter. I never would have realized that there was a connection to John Margolies, which is an excellent catch. Keep up the great work and let me know if I can help with anything.

 * Thanks, @Alansohn. I've edited RAMAZ before and done some work on the Lookstein articles as well. What led me to this is a personal connection between a family member who was a rabbi, and the rivalry between Rabbi Margolies and Rabbi "Velvele" Margolis.Dovid (talk) 20:13, 13 March 2024 (UTC)


 * The whole thing is a great story that keeps on giving. Keep it up and let me know if there's anything I can do in this area. Alansohn (talk) 20:18, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
