Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Shlomo Carlebach (musician), disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. The guideline at WP:LEAD says that the lead section is a summary of important article facts, which means that a certain amount of repetition is normal.

 * Thank you for your comments. Wow, you are an amazingly accomplished fellow!


 * As to your comments that the lead section is a summary of important article facts, I would like to point out that the lead secion of the articles on John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King do not contain summaries of the negative information about their sexual lives that is included much, much later in the articles about them. I believe that the same respect should be paid to Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach.


 * Again, thank you for making me aware of the guidelines!


 * MLK was an adulterer but all of it was between consenting adults. A moral problem but not a legal problem. Shlomo has been described as a molester of underage girls which is terribly illegal and highly immoral. The problems with Shlomo's legacy have caused people to question whether to reject his songs in the same manner as Michael Jackson's discography was harmed by sexual abuse allegations, in the same manner as the ruination of Bill Cosby's entire oeuvre after his sexual abuses came to light. I don't know anybody who is saying MLK's teachings should be removed from classrooms. Same with JFK. Binksternet (talk) 17:37, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Shlomo Carlebach (musician); that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that 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. Binksternet (talk) 06:02, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
 * 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.

Your recent editing history at Shlomo Carlebach (musician) 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. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for 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.
