Red Hair
Hi. I've reverted your edits to Red Hair. I've nothing specific against a lot of what you did, but unfortunately you used as a source a "BritainsDNA" document stored under "guff documents" at the University College London. See discussion here regarding what the genetic scientists there think about this company. Thanks. -- Escape Orbit (Talk) 21:51, 13 January 2019 (UTC)

Hello there. Thank you for correcting, have removed false source that you have stated also. My fault for not proof reading, Regards JJNito197 (talk) 10:38, 14 January 2019 (UTC) JJNito197

Hi. Repeatedly removing cited material in an article because you don't care for it, without any discussion, is disruptive and may cause you to be blocked from editing. If you want to discuss your edit, the proper place to do it in on the talk page, not through reverting edit summaries. Please try and reach consensus on things, rather than tit-for-tat edits. Also, please don't take images from other websites, then upload them saying you own them. Wikipedia takes copyright seriously.

If you'd care to undo your last revert, or implement the improvement suggested, we can get discuss things. Thanks. -- Escape Orbit (Talk) 19:30, 8 September 2019 (UTC)

baba ghanoush vs mutabbal
So most every cooking website I end up at after searches says baba ganoush has no tahini but does have onions and tomoatoes while it's mutabbal that is roasted eggplant, olive oil, tahini, garlic and salt (maybe other spices but no other veggies). These websites are all in agreement that Wikipdia (and most English dictionaries) have it wrong:

''"Both mutabal and baba ganoush are made using grilled eggplants. In fact, they both contain garlic, lemon and salt too.
 * 1) https://www.meejana.co.uk/is-it-moutabbal-or-baba-ghanoush/
 * 2) https://www.theeleganteconomist.com/2019/07/22/mutabbal-or-baba-ganoush/
 * 3) https://littlesunnykitchen.com/mtabbal-eggplant-dip/
 * 4) https://recipesaresimple.com/baba-ganoush-muttabal-middle-eastern-dips/
 * 5) https://syrianfoodie.blogspot.com/2009/05/mutabal-and-baba-ghanoush-which-is.html (mentions Wikipedia making the same mistake and collects data)
 * 6) https://www.saffrontrail.com/mutabal-moutabal-eggplant-dip-baba-ganoush/
 * 7) https://maninio.com/the-original-arabic-moutabal-baba-ganoush-middle-east-vegan/
 * 8) https://www.greedygourmet.com/recipes-by-course/side-dish/mutabal/

The difference comes down to a specific ingredient. In mutabal, tahini, which is a slightly bitter, earthy, nutty paste made from sesame seeds, is added. This adds a very distinct flavor and texture, which really separates one eggplant dip from the other.

Secondly, baba ganoush is often served with onions, tomatoes and other vegetables, while mutabal is normally just served as a dip, although the Lebanese version is sometimes served with pomegranate seeds and walnuts."''

The only English dictionary I can find that excludes tahini from the prime (non-optional) ingredient list is Cambridge Dictionary (which is excluded from the article) https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/baba-ghanoush. We need one reliable source on the history of baba ganoush/mutabbal that explains the controversy and word usage so we are not using OR to explain this different ingredient usage and naming across regions.

The article lead currently says baba ganoush has tahini in it which goes against all the top search engine recipes. It also says that mutabbal has onions and tomatoes in it which is also wrong. 35.129.1.59 (talk) 14:18, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for spotting my mistake at Anastas Al-Karmali - that one slipped through the cracks while fixing hundreds of links that were meant for the cymbal company. Do you happen to know what Sabian should actually link to? Could it be the Sabaean language? Lennart97 (talk) 09:10, 30 June 2021 (UTC)

Wikipedia Wars and the Israel-Palestine conflict...please fill out my survey?
Hello :) I am writing my MA dissertation on Wikipedia Wars and the Israel-Palestine conflict, and I noticed that you have contributed to those pages. My dissertation will look at the process of collaborative knowledge production on the Israel-Palestine conflict, and the effect it has on bias in the articles. This will involve understanding the profiles and motivations of editors, contention/controversy and dispute resolution in the talk pages, and bias in the final article. For more information, you can check out my meta-wiki research page or my user page, where I will be posting my findings when I am done. I would greatly appreciate if you could take 5 minutes to fill out this quick survey before 8 August 2021.

Participation in this survey is entirely voluntary and anonymous. There are no foreseeable risks nor benefits to you associated with this project. Thanks so much,

 * Thank you for this, coming from an established editor like yourself is it very precious to me. It was definitely time consuming but I hope it can clear up any misconceptions to the public whilst highlighting the many sub identities; which prior to working on this, I was not fully aware.

Bias
Hello, I'm Zlogicalape. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, yet showed possible bias to terminology. Middle-East is the appropriate & fitting term since "Arab World" is exclusive of the rest. (ex: Cyprus, Israel, ... who are not part of the Arab world). Please refrain from using terms that exclude others as this might be considered as bias. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Sanskrit and neo-Advaita
Regarding the translation of Sanskrit, at least three English translations of Shankara's Brahma Sutra Bhasya are available. Comparing them is bewildering; it's almost as if three different texts are translated. Two translators even explicitly state that verse four can be translated in two significantly different ways, giving both translations.

Regarding neo-Advaita, that is indeed quite different from classical Advaita. Classical Advaita is exegesis, of texts (Brahma Sutra I.1.3: "Brahman is realisable only trough the scriptures"). Neo-Advaita, in line with Vivekananda's neo-Vedanta, takes a quite different approach, and puts 'experience' at front. But these 'neo's' have deeper roots, in the incorporation of Yoga-thought and practice into Advaita textual exegesis (and vice versa). Nicholson, Unifying Hinduism, has a good treatment on this development. And Rambacharan, The Limits of Scripture, is a good study on Vibekananda's (mis)understanding of Shankara. But then, what is 'real' Advaita Vedanta? The texts from one author from 1200 years ago, writing in response to the philosophies of his time; or present-day Advaita-Yoga, which is a living tradition?

Regards, Joshua Jonathan  - Let's talk!  06:10, 19 December 2021 (UTC)


 * I am familiar with Sankara and I do view him as the foremost exponent of the philosophy; however looking deeper, I understand him firmly to be belonging to Hinduism, or Sanatana Dharma, with no "inherent" influence in the sense of foundational roots. I do not recognize that Buddhism has an influence on Advaita specifically; in the sense of foundational roots, in that Hinduism is the diametric opposite; everything/brahman/vedic/astika vs the nothing/anatta/avaidika/nastika to put it bluntly. I can metaphorically explain this as adding further details (improving the clarity) to a finished, perfect painting. I view them polar opposite in this regard but sharing truth where it is evident (dharma etc). In terms of Sanskrit definitions I do agree that early Buddhist terminology is helpful to understand the not fully explored definitions including expressions of shared phenomena, although I believe it is also confusing. I think the foundational difference when I started studying this philosphy is that I didn't deviate from the roots in my understanding that the Shankaracharya traditon was precedent in order to comprehend it as "purely" as I could. I understand Neo-Advaita to be not so much a discipline but more of a realization based approach akin to the fruits of japa. I do not doubt the foundational truth of it, but I have a concern with the lack of emphasis on effort; in contrast to the methodical, structured approach of tradional or classical advaita of which Sankara and others sprang. In response to what is the 'real' Advaita Vedanta, I would say Hinduism as the tradition gives precedence to the Vedas. I do not see them as separate.

Witness-consciousness
Maybe of interest to you: After all, that's what present-day Advaita (broadly constructed) is about (I think): yogic witness-consciousness cast in an Advaita Vedanta (Upanishadic) framework. PS: see also "tonic alertness." Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk!  07:42, 21 December 2021 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello JJNito197! Your additions to Arab Christians have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.


 * You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
 * Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
 * We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
 * If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Please see Donating copyrighted materials.
 * Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 22:39, 16 December 2022 (UTC)

February 2023
Your recent editing history at Dabke shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. 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; read about 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 you 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 do not violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. Bbb23 (talk) 19:04, 13 February 2023 (UTC)

 You have been blocked from editing for a period of 48 hours for edit warring, as you did at Dabke. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. 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. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:.
