Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=560725412 your edit] to B'Tselem may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 ""s. If you have, don't worry, just [ edit the page] again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?action=edit&preload=User:A930913/BBpreload&editintro=User:A930913/BBeditintro&minor=&title=User_talk:A930913&preloadtitle=BracketBot%20-%20&section=new my operator's talk page].

NGO Monitor
Your recent major edit to the article deleted sourced information that had been recently added to the article. For instance the sourced statements:-


 * Arnie Draiman, Online Communications
 * A number of academics have written that NGO Monitor's aims and activities are political in nature.

Were deleted by your edit. This counts as a revert. When you repeated the edit without discussion after I had reverted you, you have made two reverts in 24 hours on the same article. This is prohibited on all articles related to the IP conflict where each editor only permitted one revert per 24 hours per article. I advice you to self-revert the edit to avoid being blocked or otherwise sanctioned. Dlv999 (talk) 11:10, 20 June 2013 (UTC)
 * I was going to make a similar post. Please do have a look at the talk page, where it is clear that there is a 1RR restriction on this article.  I too suggest that you self-revert for now.  thanks, —Nomoskedasticity (talk) 11:31, 20 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Thank you for advising me what to do. I looked at the talk page as you suggested. However, I do not understand why my improvement of the language and renaming of sections is what you describe as prohibited and "reverting." When I edit, does this mean I cannot change anything that was put there "earlier"? If so, then how does one edit? It seems to me that all edits on a page change what was there before. It is kind of confusing. Are efforts to make a page more readable against the rules and not wanted?
 * Thanks for reverting. Your edit summary however is inadequate ('Undid the edits after 2 users left threats on my page - Note to administrators: I think I see bullying here'). We are bound by rules here. Notifying new editors of rules does not constitute a threat, or bullying. On controversial pages there are particular restrictions. It serves to remind editors that they cannot assume they are above the rules which everyone else must abide by. Please read the basic policy pages. For this specific issue see, Generally see WP:3R, and specifically under that 'Other revert rules'. Nishidani (talk) 12:12, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

It appears you have reverted only the last edit you made. The point would be to restore the article to the version as edited today by Dlv999. As things stand, your "undoing" of his own revert is still in force, and so you are still in a position of having exceeded the 1 revert restriction. Nomoskedasticity (talk) 12:18, 20 June 2013 (UTC) As for why your edits count as reverts: among other things, as Dlv999 noted you have twice removed the list of staff that was present in previous versions. Also please note that the current version has citation errors (look at the reference section at the bottom). It really does need restoring to the version prior to your edits. Improvements you'd like to make can then be discussed on the article talk page, where I'm sure you'll find some agreement on other aspects of the changes you have made.

Hello, I'm Iryna Harpy. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Negev Bedouin without thoroughly explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry: I restored the removed content. 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. Thanks!

 * It seems you did not read the changes but automatically pushed on the button to revert everything out of some strange interest in leaving the article poorly worded and outdated. I brought in new texts that are cited reliably and merged sections that repeat the same ideas over and over. If I do not hear back from you explaining the exact nature of your objections - NOTHING was deleted, only moved to other places - I will be restoring it. I have this funny feeling you think you are the only one who can work on this encyclopedia. I do hope I am wrong.
 * Apologies, Economust, for not getting back to you for a few days. Also, apologies for the revert. I do tend to work on a lot of articles that are prone to POV edit warring and didn't look at your excellent edits carefully. Tired, 'if in doubt, revert' mode is an impoverished excuse, but I do hope you'll forgive me for my indiscretion. I was pleased to see that you had the good sense to revert once I read the substance of your rewrite and exclusion of unreliable, unverifiable op ed pieces. Please feel free to kick me. Cheers! --Iryna Harpy (talk) 00:27, 18 December 2013 (UTC)
