Own photos
Hello, I only upload my photos, which I have properly uploaded to the system and confirmed the rights to the photos. Thanks in advance for returning all my posts. HistoriaSalutis (talk) 17:05, 29 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia is not Flickr. Taking photos doesn't give you the right to plaster them all over the place. M.Bitton (talk) 17:22, 29 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I tried to add only photos that enrich the topic at hand. Do you feel that the photos would not be beneficial to the selected topics and sections? I chose really honestly. HistoriaSalutis (talk) 17:30, 29 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I'll be honest with you. To me, it appears that you are more interested in promoting yourself and your photos than looking for what's best for the project. M.Bitton (talk) 17:32, 29 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Dear colleague, I write articles mainly about African religions for the Czech and Slovak wikipedia. Of course, these pages have a minimum number of visitors. I'm certainly not doing it for my own promotion. I will ask specifically again: do you think that the photo of the protective amulet (massive expanded in Benin households) does not enrich the page West African Vodun? Others very similar. HistoriaSalutis (talk) 17:42, 29 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Is that the only photo that you intend to add? M.Bitton (talk) 17:46, 29 September 2022 (UTC)
 * To the Vodun site, yes. HistoriaSalutis (talk) 17:57, 29 September 2022 (UTC)
 * That's a no then, because I asked you a specific question. M.Bitton (talk) 18:04, 29 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Colleague, the second photo tells about the syncretism of Vodun and Christianity. It also has a high informative value. But if I had to choose only one, I would choose the amulet of protection. HistoriaSalutis (talk) 18:08, 29 September 2022 (UTC)
 * You're still avoiding to answer the question (which was about whether you intend to add more than one of your photos to the whole project and not just to an article). M.Bitton (talk) 18:11, 29 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I added photos that I thought would be helpful. I don't have more photos useful for the topics. HistoriaSalutis (talk) 18:17, 29 September 2022 (UTC)
 * You plastered your own photos all over the place while making no effort to look for suitable images on Commons. 18:18, 29 September 2022 (UTC) M.Bitton (talk) 18:18, 29 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Your first question was if the photos were mine. Yes, they are. Your other reasons are becoming more and more unclear. HistoriaSalutis (talk) 18:26, 29 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Your answer to my first question confirmed my suspicion. If after everything I said it's still unclear to you, then there isn't a lot I can do about it. M.Bitton (talk) 00:11, 30 September 2022 (UTC)
 * For example, West African Vodun page does not include any photo of the classic vodun protective amulet that I uploaded.
 * As an Africanist, I have the impression that it belongs there. If you understand the topic, I will be happy to discuss it with you. HistoriaSalutis (talk) 17:36, 29 September 2022 (UTC)
 * As I explained, it's about the conflict of interest and not a cherry picked topic. M.Bitton (talk) 17:38, 29 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Dear colleague, you have not explained anything. We'll take it from the last post. North Africa. The page does not contain a single photo of the most typical landscape of North Africa, i.e. the Sahara. Why did you delete this particular photo? Doesn't it enhance the content? HistoriaSalutis (talk) 17:54, 29 September 2022 (UTC)
 * What makes you think that your second rate photos of a dune belong there? M.Bitton (talk) 18:04, 29 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Let's talk about one topic. Are you talking about Vodun or North Africa? HistoriaSalutis (talk) 18:14, 29 September 2022 (UTC)
 * The only topic that is worth talking about is the clear conflict of interest. M.Bitton (talk) 18:15, 29 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Dear Colleague, what conflict of interest? What leads you to these conclusions? Given the speed with which you deleted the photos, it is clear that you did not consider their contribution at all. What exactly is your motivation? HistoriaSalutis (talk) 18:20, 29 September 2022 (UTC)
 * My motivation is the exact opposite of yours. M.Bitton (talk) 18:20, 29 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Which, as I see it, is taking away useful content and censorship. HistoriaSalutis (talk) 18:29, 29 September 2022 (UTC)
 * You would say that, otherwise, how else are you supposed to justify what you did. For example: with thousands of free quality images of North Africa, you thought that the two below average ones that you took deserve a prominent place in the article. The same for the Pyramid of Djoser (luckily, an editor reverted your edit). I don't know about the rules of the Czech and Slovak wikipedias, but the fact that they let you get away with creating articles about yourself in both of them (something that will never be tolerated on en.wp) is probably to blame for your lack of understanding of the issue. Having said everything I needed to say, I have no intention of going round in circles, entertaining your parallel threads. M.Bitton (talk) 00:11, 30 September 2022 (UTC)

Why do you do this?
I was looking at a Wikipedia article and I was wondering what motivates you to make these edits? Cool they may be, but tedious 68.202.236.185 (talk) 05:24, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

The article on Numidia is not about the roman province
Please revert your edits, the "Numidia" of the latin sources is an administrative division that fluctuated in time with Mauritania caesarensis and Africa zeugitana, all of those are treated by the article on Africa proconsularis, while the the Numidia that you referenced everywhere is a berber civilization, that ended with the roman conquest of the region.

Arab ethnolinguistic/ethnic
Greetings! An account has been messing around with the neutralized people qualifier in the lede to make it point to ethnic group. I explained that the ethnolinguistic/ethnic discussion that you started was ongoing on the talkpage, but he has now exceeded three reverts. Could you please have a look? Kind Regards-- Soupforone (talk) 04:29, 15 August 2017 (UTC)
 * It looks like they stopped (at least for now). I will keep an eye on it nonetheless. M.Bitton (talk) 00:14, 16 August 2017 (UTC)
 * CambridgeBayWeather just indicated that there is no clear denouement to the discussion, so I've requested a templated close . Kind Regards-- Soupforone (talk) 14:47, 30 August 2017 (UTC)
 * I cleaned up the talk page a bit (struck comments by socks, etc) to make it more readable for the closer. The other thing that may need highlighting is CaliphoShah's position: they oppose the use of the ethnolinguitistic term to describe the Arabs (even though it's reliably sourced), but they have no problem introducing it in the Berber article).

2000 attack by Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat
The 2000 attack was planned by an Algerian group called "Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat". This group later (2003 if my memory serves me right) gave allegiance to Al Qaida. When English-speaking sources mention an "al-Qaeda-linked grouped", they are making a fuzzy reference to the Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat. So please stop removing the exact name of the group. Rama (talk) 18:31, 15 December 2018 (UTC)

List of wars involving Algeria
Hello.

The current formulation seems strange. The only direct involvment of Algeria is in 1976-1977, in Amgala. The rest of the time, they were just supporting the Polisario and the SADR, supplying weapons for instance. French or Mauritanian soldiers never met an Algerian soldier during this war. It is correct to say that the France and Mauritania were belligerants fighting against the Polisario but they fought only in the Mauritanian part of Western Sahara, where no Algerian soldier ever went.

--Le Petit Chat (talk) 09:49, 2 January 2019 (UTC)
 * I have separated the main belligerents from their supporters. Hopefully, this will make it less strange to you. M.Bitton (talk) 23:53, 5 January 2019 (UTC)

Ted Fang sources
Are the claims made in Mr. Fang's biography not sourced from self published material? The only reference that Tera Capital has any interest in Days Inn China is from the Tera Capital site. Some of the links on the Tera Capital site used as references are dead as well. Ted Fang is deceitful and dishonest.

What have you done to Gnawa topic?!
Why did you removed some paragraphs from the topic of Gnawa?! You have no idea about them or where they're participating. Those paragraphs were already removed by an anonymous user and retrieved them and you did the same mistake as him you removed them plus you're not an Editor or Moderator to order us or remove special information if you found it look for a source yourself why order others to look it for you? Removing without checking trough the Internet will make you a useless user that's why Google is there to check up if the information is real, so please next check in Google before rampaging in Wikipedia.

 * Actually, I restored the content that you deleted without explanation and removed the OR that you introduced, despite being asked numerous times to refrain from doing so. This is not just a one off incident, and I should know since I've been silently cleaning up after you for quite some time without even bothering with the customary warnings, since the ones in your you talk page didn't seem to be having any effect. Do you know want me to name you some of the articles where you either introduced OR, deleted sourced content or misrepresented the sources? M.Bitton (talk) 23:40, 25 February 2019 (UTC)

Algiers
You deleted my contribution on the grounds that it is already mentioned in the battle's article -  presumably the wiki page on Operation Torch. What is meant by 'already'? People can reach the Algiers history section without reading the Operation Torch page first. I have summarised many battles in local history pages without provoking this curious reaction, often receiving thanks for help. Valetude (talk) 02:05, 17 March 2019 (UTC)
 * There is nothing strange about someone not agreeing with your edit. I just don't see the point of cherrypicking a sentence from an article we're linking to. M.Bitton (talk) 23:16, 17 March 2019 (UTC), and
 * Because most people skimming or scanning the history section will be quite content with a 2-line overview, when they may not be interested in investigating further. This is largely what Wiki is about. What you call Cherrypicking, I call just ordinary editing. It seems a quite irrelevant term, when applied here. (As mentioned, my record on this issue is pretty respectable). Valetude (talk) 23:31, 17 March 2019 (UTC)
 * The cherrypicked sentence does not summarize the Operation Torch. There is no mention, among other things, of the fact that the Vichy regime was kept and the resistance leaders arrested afterwards (which is the most important thing as far as Algeria is concerned). That's why it's best to direct the interested readers to the article. M.Bitton (talk) 23:40, 17 March 2019 (UTC)

Augustine of Hippo
I see you reverted my edit on Augustine of Hippo. I have added a legitimate source that states his ancestry also includes Phoenician and Latin. I have not erased what was already said previously because the source I added also said his ancestry includes Berber. Stating that the sources that are there are the only legitimates ones is Cherrypicking and not allowed here on Wikipedia as far as I know.

I also clearly specified on my second source that ON PAGE 10 the author of the source points out how Augustine of Hippo identifies himself as Punic. YOU chose to read the other pages where it says Augustine used both the Punic and Berber language, ignoring the PAGE 10 where it states what I edited. This is also CherrypickingMarc Frier (talk) 00:37, 13 July 2019 (UTC)
 * The first part was reverted because you changed a statement from one that describes the mainstream views (which can be attributed to a multitude of RS) to one that describes what the one source that you introduced says. This has nothing to do with cherrypicking.
 * On page 10 of the second source, the author talks about how Augustine named his first born following the Berber custom and mentions a quote in which he identifies himself as Punic, adding Thus we can authoritatively rule out the possibility of his having an Italian ethnic background. But in view of his tendency to employ the term "Punic" for both Berbers and those of Phoenician origin, as well as other Berber-like cultural artifacts evident in his own family history, this quotation does nothing to discredit the possibility of his Berber ethnicity. So, in this instance, not only did you cherry pick a sentence (by omitting significant qualifying information from the same source), but by engaging in editorializing (using the word "although" to imply a relationship between two unrelated statements), you also violated the WP:NOR policy.
 * Obviously, you're free to take your concerns to the article's talk page. M.Bitton (talk) 23:08, 13 July 2019 (UTC)

soft water regions of the US
I made the edit to the Soft Water article (changing "The only states with soft water are Mississippi and Maine" to "The only states with no hard water are Mississippi and Maine") because the US Hard Water Map used as a reference for that paragraph shows clearly that Mississippi and Maine are not the only states with soft water. Washington, Oregon, Texas, Louisiana, Tennessee, and several other states have large areas with soft water.

It isn't clear to me why the sentence is there at all, but if it needs to be there, it should be true. I read it and thought "that can't possibly be true", and in fact the sources referenced on the page clearly show that it isn't true. Another related statement could be "Only Mississippi and Maine have soft water throughout the entire state."

I have no strong feeling about it. If you want it to say what it says now, I won't argue. 2001:558:141A:9A:FDE7:3A08:7A08:E421 (talk) 00:46, 15 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Another related statement could be "Only Mississippi and Maine have soft water throughout the entire state." Judging by that map, that wouldn't be true for Mississippi either. As a matter of fact, the whole sentence (which is original research based on an unreliable map) needs to be removed. Reliable sources such as the USGS make no such claims.

Hi the reference was already linked. It's number one in the list? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7D:21B1:7F00:7C1B:85A3:C0E5:5B8E (talk) 14:16, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

Invitation to RedWarn
Hello, M.Bitton! I noticed you have been using Twinkle and was wondering if you'd like to beta test my new tool, RedWarn, specifically designed to improve your editing experience.


 * Easy to use - Unlike other tools, RedWarn uses easy to interpret icons and simple summaries for common actions, reducing both learning and reading times.
 * Supports rollback and rollback-like functionality - Unlike Twinkle, RedWarn supports both rollback and rollback-like functionality for users will rollback permissions. This decreases waiting times during rollbacks.


 * Making life easier on the battlefield - Ever been in the middle of a vandalism war or campaign, frantically reloading the history page to see a new edit? No more! Enabling RedWarn's "Alert on Change" feature will automatically send you to the latest edit when a new edit occurs - and if you're working on something else, RedWarn will send you a notification while the tab is still open in the background. No time wasted.
 * Rollback previews - If you're ever worried about the changes a rollback will make, especially in the case of reverting good faith edits, you can click the rollback preview button to preview the difference a rollback will make, with the version that will be restored on the right, and the latest revision on the left.


 * Always the latest revision - RedWarn will automatically redirect you to the latest revision if the rollback is no longer for the latest revision - no more frustrating errors.


 * Fast - RedWarn can automatically select a warning level, and, on vandalism and content removal rollbacks, automatically select a warning template.


 * Built on your feedback - RedWarn is receiving frequent feature additions and changes based on your feedback. If there's something you don't like, or would like to see, just say!


 * and many more features ...but I don't want to fill your userpage.

RedWarn is currently in use by over 35 other Wikipedians, and feedback so far has been extremely positive. If you're interested, please see see the RedWarn tool page for more information on RedWarn's features which I haven't listed here. Otherwise, feel free to remove this message from your page. If you have any further questions, please ping me or leave a message on my talk page. Your feedback is much appreciated! Ed6767  talk!  19:47, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

Thanks

Hi i am making a big change has sri satguru jis death date that was reported in these references are false and i have evidence for it
Hi M.Bitton

I Have Evidence To The Fact That Sri Satguru Ram Singh Ji Has Not Passed Away.

http://kukasikhs.com/kukasikhs-wp/?cool_timeline=contradictions-in-the-death-report-of-satguru-ram-singh-ji#:~:text=%E2%80%9D%20I%20beg%20to%20report%20to,of%20the%20change%20very%20much%E2%80%A6.

On Friday, the 11th March 1872 at Calcutta Port, Sri Satguru Ram Singh ji, accompanied by his personal assistant, Bhai Nanu Singh, boarded the ship for Rangoon. At this occasion, Sri Satguru ji warned the Britishers that as a repercussion to what they have done to his person during winter, sufferings shall fall upon them in summer. And this happened after 75 years exactly. After the nine years confinement at Rangoon, His Holiness was then in 1880 was shifted to Mergui.

So Now Can You Revert To The Changes ?
 * Your edit has been reverted because it wasn't supported by a reliable source. If, as you suggest, someone who is born in 1816 is still alive and you have RS to prove it, then you can start a discussion on the talk page and see what others have to say. M.Bitton (talk) 23:57, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

Almohad didnt used tifinagh
What kind of logic is that? Almohad first language was tamazight so their name in tifinagh must be on the page, why there is the latin alphabets of their name then? Were they using lating alphabets? Waliduec06 (talk) 21:26, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
 * As this is the en.wiki, we have no choice but to use the Latin characters. The Almohads didn't use tifinagh, therefore, there is no reason for their name to be associated with it. M.Bitton (talk) 21:36, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

Content update
Hi,

I have received a message from you saying that you "noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Cristín Leach, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so" -- can you show me what's been removed?

Additionally, I also corrected numerous spelling, grammar, and syntax mistakes, some of which seem to have been restored. I'm a professional copy editor so I tend to do that as a matter of habit. I presumed such corrections would be tolerated.

Cristín is a friend and former colleague of mine, so I probably included information that I'm already familiar with.

Thanks,

Hi, Thanks for your message regarding the removal of content I added to the page about Masinissa. I thought I might have not done it correctly. I'd hoped to make wikipedia entries for my two books Masinissa: Ally of Carthage and Masinissa: Ally of Rome but when I tried to do that I got a bit lost in terms of how to do it correctly. Is there any way I can request those entries to be added to Masinissa's page? Both books are now available as e-books and their physical counterparts will be published on the 28th August. Thanks

Reverts of world and continental maps
Dear M. Bitton,

Could you please comment on why my contributions of world and continental maps were reverted? Many thanks, Janwillemvanaalst (talk) 14:29, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
 * They were reverted because: a) they are unsourced and b) they look nothing like what the average reader who's familiar with the the UN map, the CIA map, the AU map, etc. would expect to see (specifically, with regards to the borders of Algeria, Morocco and Western Sahara). M.Bitton (talk) 14:40, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you for clarifying. I would like to mention the following:
 * About your first argument (unsourced): I've always understood it's good practice to mention the source in the metadata fields on Wikimedia Commons. There, it clearly states that I am the author of the maps. I am a cartographer; this is what I do. It also clearly mentions that to be able to make this visualisation, I've used the CC-0 Natural Earth digital geodata, which is a well-known free geodata source (at least in the cartographic world). If you have any tips on still further clarifying the source of these maps, please let me know.
 * Your second argument, with all due respect, holds only for an American audience. In Europe, this particular visualization style is very common. Just open any Times Atlas of the World, and you'll find it immediately recognizable.
 * Therefore, I would like to kindly request to undo the reverts. And perhaps open a discussion on the respective talk pages so that others may share their considerations/arguments. Thank you! Janwillemvanaalst (talk) 06:53, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * You seem to be confusing Commons with Wikipedia. As far as the latter is concerned, you're not a reliable source and nor is the user generated and easily modifiable data that you used to make your map.
 * It's not about the visualization style, it's about the borders. The CIA map is used extensively on Wikipeddia and the idea that the UN map is meant for an American audience is baseless.
 * Since verifiability is non negotiable, I won't be reverting (restoring the WP:OR), but you're more than welcome to take your concerns to the talk pages. M.Bitton (talk) 23:38, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

Daniella Levine Cava Article
Hi, I apologize for not stating my reason why I removed some lines in the Daniella Levine Cava Article is due to questions about the reliability of sources. I know Wikipedia likes articles to be sourced from neutral soures. However, one of teh sources that continuously comes up in the Daniella Levine Cava Article is from a blog called "Keeping Up With Cava". When I visited the page, I was saddened to see how prejudicial the information on this site is. I encourage you to go to the site as it is basically filled with content saying how bad Daniella Levine Cava is. I encourage how neutral critisms of anyone who is being has an article about them, however this source is not neutral and basically seems like a political blog written by someone who does not like Daniella Levine Cava, which I believe is not a neutral source that warrents an inclusion in a Wikipedia article. Therefore, I removed " Levine entered the race in 2014, controversially taking her husband's last name in order to seem more appealing to Hispanic voters, who make up more than 40% of the district's population." in the first paragraph under the Political Carrer section and "However, Cava has also come under fire after criticism that she ignored her district, which suffered through a major crime wave in 2017, with a 20% increase in overall crime that year" in the third paragraph of the political carrer section. I hope you can see how the inclusion of these statements from this prejudicial source is the equivalent of using a campaign website as a source for this article. Thank you for your concerns :). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.204.70.78 (talk) 14:42, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

Also, if you can find neutral sources that say the same information, then of course it is ok to keep the information. However, I cannot find these neutral sources — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.204.70.78 (talk) 14:44, 7 September 2020 (UTC)


 * Provided you give a valid reason (based on WP policies, such as WP:RS and WP:BLP) on the article's talk page, there is nothing stopping you from being bold again. Good luck. M.Bitton (talk) 16:04, 8 September 2020 (UTC)

Same Sex Marriage Bermuda
Hello Apologies re trying to link www.samelovebermuda.com This website was created by a friend who tracked the fight for Same Sex Marriage in Bermuda.

It was me, LionFishBermuda, who started the ball rolling in Bermuda in April 2015 by creating a petition for legalizing Same Sex Marriage in Bermuda. Indeed, I found the lawyer Mark Pettingill who agreed to take on the legal challenge. There were many behind the scenes who helped financially with the long series of court fights leading to SSM being legal in Bermuda. There is of course the final leg to go at the Privy Council.

So I was simply hoping that you would see value in the link to the website Same Love Bermuda... My webmaster is redesigning my website and it was she who posted the link to your WikiPedia page, and from that I was tried to post www.samelovebermuda.com If you do not think it contributes to the information you have (which is amazing) that is your decision. But I would hope you see value in the link!

Here is the section on SSM on my personal website https://tonybrannon.com/WEB_2020/samesexmarriage.html

Best to you. LionFishBermuda (talk) 14:21, 9 December 2020 (UTC)

Biography information about Liviu Radu
I'm a family member and I know for sure that the fallowing statements are false:

"In 1991 he was kidnapped in New Delhi by Sikh militants. This was done one of the most famous Sikh freedom organisation of that time, namely the Khalistan Liberation Force. They threatened the authorities that if they don’t release Harjinder Singh Jinda, Sukhdev Singh Sukha and Nirmal Singh Nimma, they will kill Radu. These three were Sikh militants of the Khalistan Commando Force who were responsible for the assassination of Arun Shridhar Vaidya, the Indian Army Officer who lead Operation Blue Star. Radu was released unharmed after 49 days."

Your recent reversion of my edits on List of U.S. Army installations named for Confederate soldiers
Can you tell me the reason why you had reverted both of my recent edits on the article List of U.S. Army installations named for Confederate soldiers? I think you were premature to have reverted both of the edits.

In the, I added a reference to a CNN article that the Senate had just voted to overturned the President's veto and the bill had became law. What was deleted was things that had not happened yet when first written, but has since occurred and now redundant, such as The Senate bill still needs to be combined with the House version of the same bill in the United States congressional conference committee before it can be sent to President Trump for his signature or veto.

In the, I had removed legislative procedure material (as it tangential to the main subject of the Wikipedia article) that became not as important after the bill became law. The only reference removed was about might be done in Congress prior to the 2020 President Election that has since occurred.

Please tell me what is wrong with what I had written and I will change it. Thanks. -- 68.50.32.85 (talk) 23:20, 1 January 2021 (UTC)
 * The first revert is definitely an accident, sorry about that. The second was the result of a lack of explanation for the source removal.

I am inclined to report them myself to AN/I, but I am currently up-to-my-elbows in researching the Aq Qoyunlu. If you need any assistance, feel free to ask. --Kansas Bear (talk) 17:44, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

Block a user named BillCat from editing! We are currently having an edit war and I tried talking to him/her, but he/she threatning to call the police if I would shut up! I need your help!

Al-tabari ethnic claim
I already pointed this out on Altabari's talk page, but I also wanted to see your opinion about this issue as you were engaged in reverting some unconstructive edits to the Altabari's article. Reference 3 in the article seems to point to a different conclusion from what is mentioned in the article. More specifically, the following is mentioned in the article cited:

"None of those ancestors can be identified any further (although there seems to be an implication in some of the sources that Kaṯir b. Ḡāleb was a known personality), and about all that can be said about them is that they have Arabic names. However, Ṭabari is never known to have claimed or to have had attributed to him any tribal affiliation and is always called by his regional nesba. He certainly knew some Persian, and his history showed more than a passing interest in subjects concerning his homeland, but that proves little. When he was asked about his ancestry, he was deliberately vague and quoted a verse belittling the importance of such genealogies (Yāqut, Odabāʾ VI, p. 428; see Rosenthal, 1989, pp. 12-13 on the possible moralizing aspect of this anecdote). There is thus no way of knowing for certain whether Ṭabari’s family was native to the Āol region or perhaps arrived with the wave of Muslim colonists after the Abbasid revolution, either as converts or Arab settlers"

It seems that the writer is saying that it was never known what his ethnic background is. However, this article is used to back up the claim that his ethnicity is definitively known. Shouldn't the claim made in the article be rewritten to reflect that there is no consensus at least? Moor919 (talk) 19:47, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Since the Encyclopedia of Islam says more or less the same thing, whether the family was of indigenous stock or descended from Arab colonists in Tabaristan is unknown, I personally don't see why the article shouldn't reflect the uncertainty regarding his ethnicity.

Информация о Дмитрие Соине
Добрый день! Дмитрий Соин, просит изменить информацию о нем, не соответствующую действительности: В 1994 году власти Молдовы возбудили уголовное дело в убийстве против Соина, который убил жителя Тирасполя из служебного оружия в заявленном акте самообороны. Соин был объявлен Интерполом в международный розыск в 2004 году. Это информация которая порочит честь и достоинство личности, предлагаю заменить ее на: В 1993—2007 годах работал в органах госбезопасности Приднестровья, последняя должность начальник Управления защиты Конституции. В 2004 году объявлен властями Молдовы в международный розыск по сфабрикованному уголовному делу.

USS. John C. Calhoun page
You reverted some changes I made to the USS John C. Calhoun page. I have no citations or sources except for myself. I was there. I was stationed on the Johnny C. from 1991 to decommissioning in 1994. I would not know how to find any sources other than myself and a few fellow crew members that I'm still in touch with. I was going to add when the Panama Canal transit was but I noticed it reverted. The only source I would have for the Canal transit is a citation (award) stating that I went through the Canal and the date that it occurred. How would I go about making these changes?

"The Queen of the South" Biblical reference
Hi, M. Bitton, it looks like you might be the most recent human to have edited the article "Queen of the South," (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_of_the_South_(biblical_reference), and I wanted to let someone know that I think the Luke reference misdirects to Luke 10, when it needs to be Luke 11:31.

You'll have to point me to the RfC. I can't be going through all the talk page archives, and there's nothing more specific in the edit summaries you provided.

Hi
Hi M.Bitton, I changed the names of those "Turks in X" articles because they are not recent citizens of Turkey, which "Turks in" can imply. These communities (full or partial origin) have been citizens of these said countries for centuries. Further, this would be in line with X Americans; X Australians; X Canadians; etc. Do you disagree with this? Obviously, my moves are now redirects which is ok. But the current state does imply they are from a modern diaspora, rather than a pre-modern nation-state community (like Bulgarian Turks and Turkish Cypriots etc.). Hope to hear back. Thanks! Sseevv (talk) 21:33, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Not really, because unlike Turkish, the term "Turk" was used for centuries to simply mean Muslim living in some part of the Ottoman empire. On a side note: those articles are full of nonsense about meaningless partial ancestry and most, if not all of the notable people cited in them are not described by RS as either "Turks" or "Turkish". M.Bitton (talk) 21:43, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your reply. It's not something I'm going to be strongly pushing for if there is a strong rejection in the Wiki community. But I'll take your comment forward and raise a discussion on the talk pages. It seems more logical, at least to me, that the titles would make clear that these are about citizens of these modern nations states (who either fully or partially identify as Turkish), rather than recent Turkish arrivals who may not obtain the citizenship of the said countries. Ethnicity in the Middle East is a complex subject, as before it would be X-speaking Muslims. But to completely disregard people who self-declare their identities as "nonsense" is worrisome. Sseevv (talk) 22:13, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Starting a discussion that is centered around what the reliable sources say is a good idea. Best, M.Bitton (talk) 22:24, 13 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Since this is a WP:BLP article, I cannot really restore it without citing a reliable source. I hope you understand. Best, M.Bitton (talk) 23:31, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
 * He is not listed as faculty on their site: https://www.colorado.edu/gsll/nordic/faculty This is also something he openly talks about on his YouTube channel.
 * Unless I'm mistaken, on his website he says: "As of 2020 I am a full-time public educator, remaining at the University of Colorado as a Resident Scholar at the Center of the American West". Feel free to add that to the article. Best, M.Bitton (talk) 17:44, 14 March 2021 (UTC)

Libertarian Marxism
Please, I'm trying to remove original research. Complaints of original research have persisted over ten years on the page Libertarian Marxism, but nothing's improved since. The sources cited DO NOT mention the term Libertarian Marxism, and frequently do not even mention libertarian or libertarianism at all! Consult the Talk page before reversing my edits, thanks.

Kind regards, Crashprop
 * I appreciate what you're trying to do, that's why I suggested you use the talk page to explain the situation, ideally, citing what the cited sources that I assume you have checked say. Best, M.Bitton (talk) 17:14, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Why don't you improve the article using reliable sources? M.Bitton (talk) 23:09, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
 * I don't know how to add citations. But I am a PhD student in economics and I am telling you that the current page is unintelligible. (Take a look for yourself--can you really tell me what it means?) It needs to be translated into simple, modern terminology. It is not a complicated concept, but the current page is unreadable. I provided a very simple (and generic) definition for the concept. I'm not going to pursue this further; if you choose to keep the page as-is, then it will remain utterly useless.

Currently online, or automated anti-vandalism bot?
Hello, I noticed that you reversed an edit of mine while I wasn't logged in. Because this occurred almost immediately after the edit, I am curious to know whether you are logged in right now, or whether that was an automated edit by a bot.

Thanks. Walkinxyz (talk)
 * What edit are you referring to? M.Bitton (talk) 00:23, 26 March 2021 (UTC)


 * My guess is that your response answers my question, and both are true. Feel free to correct any misunderstanding on my part. Walkinxyz (talk)
 * As long as there was no issue with the revert, then all is well that ends well. Best, M.Bitton (talk) 00:28, 26 March 2021 (UTC)


 * I would suggest that you modify the bot to explain that it is, in fact a bot, and that you review the parameters you're using to detect possible vandalism. It was indicated that I should include a description of the edit to avoid triggering suspicion, but I did include a very clear description and the edit was reversed anyway. The edit was on the MKUltra page. In order to prevent chilling of speech, anonymous users should not automatically trigger vandalism suspicion (notably, on an article related to the security state), without a clear and valid reason for that suspicion. All best. Walkinxyz (talk) 00:33, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
 * It's not a bot and there was an issue with this edit (see the stray ti). In addition to that, under the guise of research is unsourced. Best, M.Bitton (talk) 00:35, 26 March 2021 (UTC)


 * I see, not sure how the stray ti slipped in. Thanks for clarifying. "Under the guise of research" is supported by the covert nature of much of the program, and by the very next sentence, "The CIA operated using front organizations…" Walkinxyz (talk) 00:50, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
 * All is well that ends well. Best, M.Bitton (talk) 00:53, 26 March 2021 (UTC)

Your recent reverts
I saw that your explanation of the reverts is that the new CIA map is not neutral. Could you provide examples on the map that indicate that your statement is true. Interstellarity (talk) 00:18, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
 * The map of Morocco is a prime example. Best, M.Bitton (talk) 00:20, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I'm assuming you are talking about Western Sahara. I am familiar with that area. We could possibly discuss editing the map to fix that. Interstellarity (talk) 00:26, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes, I am referring to Western Sahara. We already have one that is fixed and widely used: the 2016 version. M.Bitton (talk) 00:30, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
 * I had a second look at the map. The old political map seems to be up to date. The only thing on the map that is not updated (also not updated on the new map) is that Burundi changed its capital. On the old physical map, there are a few things the new map fixes that the old one doesn't.
 * Kazakhstan changed the name of its capital from Astana to Nur-Sultan
 * Macedonia changed its name to North Macedonia
 * Swaziland changed its name (also not fixed on new map)
 * Czech Republic adopted the short form Czechia
 * I hope I provided enough information about the differences between the old and new map except for Western Sahara. I would like to ask, is the inclusion of Western Sahara the main reason why you reverted my changes? For example, for a map to be neutral, it would have to include dotted lines indicating the dispute in which case it doesn't. Kosovo is shown as an independent country. That is not neutral. Abkhazia and South Ossetia are shown as part of Georgia. That is not neutral. In the map, how the map indicates Taiwan is OK since the political status is ambigous. What makes Western Sahara stand out against the rest? Interstellarity (talk) 19:03, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Two wrongs don't make a right. Ideally, I would use the UN map, but since the 2016 CIA map has been used for some time now, it is considered stable. Best, M.Bitton (talk) 19:08, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

Updating the information for the University of Alaska Southeast
Hello, I work at the University of Alaska Southeast and have been tasked with updating the Wiki page, which contains very outdated information about the institution. I see some of the changes have been reverted and am wondering if there is a better process that would allow me to make the necessary updates?

Thank you in advance, ACK RainyAK
 * Since you acknowledge that you have a conflict of interest while editing Wikipedia, you should click on the first blue link in this message, read the guideline and see whether it applies to you. Pay particular attention to the portions pertaining to paid editing.  Having said that, what happened here is that M.Bitton is running a program called Twinkle.  It detected that you removed content containing a citation to a reliable source.  At least that's how it appears on the surface, because Twinkle is very black and white in the way it operates.  For starters, the external link to the cited story is dead and has been for years.  When Morris Communications owned the Juneau Empire, they had a practice of making extensive story archives available on the newspaper's website.  When they sold the paper, that all went away.  We should assume good faith that this is still a valid source, since it was formatted correctly and its validity can be researched.  You contend that it's "outdated".  This is not a valid argument: we are here to present the history of UAS, not to serve as a social media mirror for whatever agenda the university is currently pushing.  The problem I see is that the section uses the mere existence of a reliable source to promote undue weight to one particular viewpoint.  This viewpoint overwhelms the section to the point where it is no longer an accessible overview of UAS athletics.  This can be partially rectified by combining this section with the previous section on the recreation center, since the two functions are closely related, as well as making some attempt to represent the overall history of athletic endeavors at UAS.  The article as a whole is light on high-quality sources and heavy on thinly-veiled promotional language.  An example: "the Ketchikan campus offers small class sizes, face-to-face classroom experiences, a large selection of online courses as well as blended face-to-face and online classroom experiences, and staff and advisors. The Ketchikan campus is a leader in the State university system for online degree offerings including the only interdisciplinary Bachelor of Liberal Arts and Bachelor of Arts, Social Science."  I don't see why it needs to be pushed further in that direction. RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions  04:13, 3 April 2021 (UTC)

Hello Mr Bitton, thanks for messaging me. First of all, I would like to inform you that I am editing Wikipedia for a long time, and I generally dont experiment.

 * Like I said in the edit summary, they do not belong in the lead because they are not "significant alternative names". The image you referred to in your edit summary is irrelevant because as someone has already pointed out to you, the article is not about the system, it's about the numerals that the system uses. You are on the verge of breaking the 3rr rule, so I suggest you seek consensus for your change. M.Bitton (talk) 21:19, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

question about your last edits in ottoman algeria
Hi M. Bitton, First I want to ask you about the demographic estimations here https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/1015443905 (sorry but I am using mobile version). You stated that the population was estimated between 3 and 5 millions. But zat the same time the link you shared https://books.google.tn/books?id=yEvQZ7bdybgC&pg=PA11&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q&f=false it clearly says "ces estimations varient entre 1 et 3 millions" . Only the tge section of " le lendemain du conquête" more than 3 millions population were estimated. Also the table in page 14 and 15 confirms that there is no estimation of more than 3 millions was expected. Is it a typo or am I missing something ?

Second the map you putted in the page kind of irritates me https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottoman_Algeria#/media/File:Regency-of-Algiers-1824.jpg I have no problem with old historical maps but I think they don't fit as the main image of the page (wich would be the most vosoted image in the whole page) First this imgae is about all of north africa a'd I would prefer a more algeria centered map (so that the reader won't be misleaded) other than that the colors are pales are pale and the resolution is far from perfection (you can merely read city names). Now about the content of the map, it also doesn't feel as the best. For example I never recall the region of tafilalet as being part of the refency of algiers. It even contradicts the well sourced paragragh in the description "the Regency originally extended its borders from La Calle in the east to Trara in the west and from Algiers to Biskra" . Plus you know how the maps from the 19th century may differ a lot because their lack of precision. We have plenty of them and chosing one over the other won't be easy that's why I would prefer a newer made one. I hope you could find a better suited map or at least restore the older one

Note : I would never discard o revise your edits without your approval as I myself consider it vandalism to just remove other efforts by removing it with just one click. That's why I would wait for your response. Thank you Fyhgfthj (talk) 04:46, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
 * It's not a typo. If you check the cited source you'll see the pages (11 to 16) that the reader is meant to read for verifiability. That map ended up there because some editors kept changing the old map under the pretext that it's not properly sourced. I don't expect to find a map that everyone approves of and I don't see a major issue with the current one, which is sourced and keeping the disruptive editors at bay. M.Bitton (talk) 20:56, 18 April 2021 (UTC)


 * thank you for your reply

1) yes I just rechecked the demographics and apparently you was right about 1830 I was mislead about tge title " au lendemain de la conquête" and I thought he was only going to discuss the french algeria. But still I feel that the formulation of the sentence is not the best you've written "The population of the Regency of Algiers in 1830 has been estimated at between 3 and 5 million" you've used "has been" wich is in present perfect wich according to this site https://www.ef.com/wwen/english-resources/english-grammar/present-perfect/ means "An action or situation that started in the past and continues in the present" but I don't feel that really the book of kamel kateb (2001) could really be called "written in the past". So I would prefer a more accurate verion like "the population was estimated between 1 and 3 million but kamel kateb suggests that the number should be raised to 3 to 5 millions" or at least simply write " is estimated between 3 and 5 millions by kamel kateb" (as to indicate that there are other estimations)

2) I checked a little bit the page history and I didn't see a real edit war. It was only the edit who changed the map. Wich even though it is clearly a troll, still he putted a real sourced historic map just like yours. And that's why I told I didn't like old maps because they can differ way to much from one to another with way many inaccuracies.So for example what would make you prefer your map rather than andalousi's map is it because algeria looks way bigger (cause I don't see any difference between both in historical point of view) If I would chose between old maps I would suggest this one https://fr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fichier:1829_Lapie_Map_of_the_Eastern_Mediterranean,_Morocco,_and_the_Barbary_Coast_-_Geographicus_-_Barbarie-lapie-1829.jpg (wich you already put but later discarded) What I like about this map is that it has more resolution than the other one. It is more accurate. Algeria is slightly more centered. And it is sourced. Another suggestion would be this map https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Algiers_Eyalet,_Ottoman_Empire_(1609).png#mw-jump-to-license I like this map because it indicates the ottoman empire in an article called ottoman algeria. But most importantly it matches up other maps about the ottoman empire. I hope that you've got my point of view. Thank you Fyhgfthj (talk) 14:05, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

 * Actually, I saw your response and ignored it because I don't appreciate you personally attacking another editor on my talk page (by calling them a troll) and then pinging them to make sure they read it.

"Louvre map"
Hi M.Bitton. Wanted to give you a heads up in relation to this map, apparently created by the Louvre, which you removed from numerous articles here on Eng.Wiki. Although I had tagged it on Commons due to it being packed with dozens of fallacies and stuff contradicted by dozens of reliable sources, the same uploader has removed my tag, calling it "this is a modern-day academic work" Although Commons has its own set of rules, which protects the map from being deleted there even though its packed with errors, it simply does not belong on Wikipedia as its inclusion—indeed—violates numerous WP policies. - LouisAragon (talk) 21:41, 12 May 2021 (UTC)

Deliberate Lefty Slant to GB News
the whinging left has slighted the GB News which has the ethos of being neutral and 'reporting the news' instead of the usual lefty twitter tripe we always have to see.

So please see the following citations which indemnify your biased and left leaning introduction to the news channels.

https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/1449320/BBC-news-GB-News-public-events-footage-launch-day-Sunday-gb-news-channel-launch https://foxhole.news/2021/02/08/stop-funding-hate-tries-to-shut-down-gb-news-before-its-even-launched/ https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2021/06/13/bbc-hit-ofcom-complaint-gb-news-shutting-broadcaster/ https://j4mb.org.uk/2021/06/12/bbc-accused-of-attempting-to-shut-out-gb-news-at-11th-hour/ https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/1446447/Andrew-neil-boris-johnson-voting-poll-Yougov-keir-starmer-dominic-cummings https://www.tomwinnifrith.com/articles/17677/the-left-still-doesnt-understand-free-speech-tries-to-shut-down-gb-news-before-its-first-broadcast https://davidicke.com/2021/02/15/woke-anti-hate-censors-attempt-to-shut-down-gb-news-before-its-even-gone-to-air/

And all this before the programme even aired. The left is the new right and I am disgusted that my legitimate edit was removed. Because it is the 'left' who are 'tarring this news channel' and the left who has become the new far right. The author has written bigoted one dimensional claims and slants and refuses to accept the findings in the 7 references I have given and believe me there are another 300+ I can lay my hands on.

 * M.Bitton, it's certainly not my effort to stonewall, but I don't think I saw consensus to just remove all the detailed mentions; all of the discussion I had seen was around being careful what we characterize as the Arab world, and making sure the sentences were constructed in a way that didn't misidentify countries. I'm not enthused that this was taken as an excuse to peel out the mention of those nations with a particular history, which I didn't (yet) see consensus for.

Map of Ottoman Algeria
Hello M.Bitton,

I saw that you removed the user-made map of Ottoman Algeria (quite efficiently, I'll add) in favor for the older map. I have to call into question your logic for doing so. The map you favor is an excerpt from this full map. The map may have been a good "source" in its time, but its clearly outdated, with many nuances of pre-colonial Africa not apparent and the borders inaccurate. Clearly an antiquated and outdated map from the 19th-20th century should not be put above a user made map with more focus and attention to detail to the actual topic of the article. As for the sources of the map, I'm contacting the author at present for a list of them.

Thank you

MarsandCadmium (talk) 19:24, 5 August 2021 (UTC)
 * That map was added to prevent an edit war. It's sourced and there are many other sources that support it. Personally, I don't see an issue with, especially considering who it was made by and the fact that its date is very appropriate (few years before the French invasion). M.Bitton (talk) 19:32, 5 August 2021 (UTC)

Seeing the update history of ottoman algeria page I can easily conclude that one map did everything but avoiding edit wars. In fact it created them with 50 % of the last edits are just some editors suggesting to user other maps, but all of them were reverted only by you every single time, wich really make me doubt the consensus on that map. As I told you before being sourced by a well known author in the 19th century is not that special. There are billions of "barbary coast" maps from the 19th century, that you can chose from but you only have chosen the one that it's fidelity and accuracy is a bit trickey. My request for using pierre lapie's map from 1829 https://fr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fichier:1829_Lapie_Map_of_the_Eastern_Mediterranean,_Morocco,_and_the_Barbary_Coast_-_Geographicus_-_Barbarie-lapie-1829.jpg and zoomed on algeria here https://fr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fichier:Carte_de_la_régence_d%27Algérie_en_1829_(état_algérien_moderne_vassal_de_l%27empire_ottoman).png is still ongoing.

recent edit on article American Council on Science and Health
Hello,

This is regarding the changes I made on the article American Council on Science and Health calling the person hank campbell for promoting pseudoscience that was reverted by you. I know I didn't provide a source for the changes I made, but that person has promoted many misleading pseudoscientific claims. I only made minor changes.

The person Hank Campbell is described in that article as a science writer but he has promoted pseudoscience and misleading, & false information in the name of 'science'.

He has downplayed/denyed the health risks of secondhand smoke. The website run by him has promoted fake news in the name of 'science' that nobody has died or got lung cancer from second hand smoke here, here and so on,despite the fact that there are well documented cases of deaths occurring from secondhand smoke and as stated in the article health effects of tobacco smoking, about 600000 deaths are caused from secondhand smoke exposure every year, among which 21400 are caused from lung cancer due to second hand smoke. In his blog he says exhausive research found no death from second hand smoke, but the research he cites was from Enstrom and Kabat(a study often cited by pseudoskeptics of dangers of second hand smoke). That study was utter crap and it had multiple fatal flaws and as stated in the passive smoking article, not only was it funded by the tobacco industry, the American cancer society calling the study flawed even pointed out how they misused their data.

He says thirdhand smoke is pseudoscience and says it is only embraced by so called "anti-smoking fundamentalist", but then he attacks the American Association for the Advancement of Science(AAAS) when they tell us about it.

He also promoted doubts about scientific consensus of climate change. He wrote that conservatives are better at understand climate change than liberals, in a blog, despite the fact that most conservatives(not all) strait up deny climate change.

There are many other examples as well. Whatever he doesn't like he dismisses it as pseudoscience or anti-science

He definitely seems to have a political agenda. He is amongst other pseudoscience promoting charlatans like Dr. Oz, Alex Jones, Joseph Mercola, Robert f kennedy jr, Vandana Shiva, patrick moore, mike adams of naturalnews, etc.

That's why I made the edits because he isn't a science writer as written in that article. It wasn't a vandalism.

Also I didn't revert your edit because I didn't want to engage in an edit war so I thought it would be appropriate to contact you directly. So please consider restoring my edit, if you think my edit was correct.

Thank you and have a nice day! 2409:4042:918:CDC1:156E:C78B:4B77:5037 (talk) 13:51, 22 August 2021 (UTC)
 * I share your concerns, but unfortunately what you wrote about Hank Campbell (a living person) is unsourced (original research to be exact) and therefore violates the rather stringent WP:BLP policy. That being said, there is nothing stopping you from adding to the article the fact that the ACSH has been described as a "one of the most visible, well-funded purveyors of pseudoscience and misinformation". Best, M.Bitton (talk) 15:12, 22 August 2021 (UTC)


 * I know it would go against WP:BLP but I think it would be better to call him a journalist instead of science writer.
 * Also in other articles like Robert F. Kennedy Jr., it is stated that he promotes the scientifically discredited link between vaccines and autism, and the article for mike adams of natural news states how he promotes pseudoscience by promoting quack medicine, anti-vax, chemtrail conspiracy theory, anti-fluoridation,etc. So similarly is it possible to state that he promotes pseudoscience by downplaying health risks of secondhand smoke and disputing scientific consensus on climate change? 2409:4042:918:CDC1:DDAD:640D:5E:4E9C (talk) 17:15, 22 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Since I'm not familiar with him, I have no idea what RS call him. If in doubt or what he does is disputed, remove it from the article (which isn't about him to start with). M.Bitton (talk) 17:22, 22 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes, I removed him from the article,as the article isn't about him. Even I'm not really familiar with him but I came across some of his articles on his website. At the beginning I thought he was cool, cause he called out quacks like Mercola, dr Oz,and others, but then he when I came across other article where he denied health risks of second hand smoke,by using a fraudulent study funded by tobacco industry, and casted doubts on climate change by spreading one sided propoganda, I realised even he had a political agenda. It's like "I don't like this so it's pseudoscience/anti-science."


 * But it is very clear he is spreading misinformation himself as he said nobody has died from second hand smoke which is clearly a lie, as around 600000 deaths occur every year due to second hand smoke exposure. Now the numbers may not be accurate but to say nobody has got lung cancer or died from second hand smoke is straight up a lie as there are many well documented cases. 2409:4042:918:CDC1:2241:FC9:98B7:5A1E (talk) 05:17, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Actually, I pinged you with regard to an IP who is targetting all the articles that you created and that I have reported to AN3. Please feel free to join the discussion. Best, M.Bitton (talk) 15:08, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
