Allan (2019) remarked: "God's work or not, this is military behaviour that would be tabooed today and might lead to a war crimes trial." Pngeditor (talk) 20:10, 9 November 2022 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Pngeditor! Your additions to Netzah Yehuda Battalion 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) 21:42, 5 December 2022 (UTC)

Take it easy
Just a friendly word of advice. This edit is on a page with WP:1RR discretionary sanctions in relation to WP:ARBPIA, so you might want to think twice about rapidly reverting other editors. While this particular material is not obviously directly related to the conflict, reverting multiple other editors without talk page discussion is never going a good look on a sanction-controlled page, could be interpreted as edit warring, and - given the sanctions - could get you in hot water at WP:AE. Better to play it safe. I suggest self reverting and taking the dispute to the talk page if you still feel strongly. Iskandar323 (talk) 06:43, 3 January 2023 (UTC)

I saw you added the plain text [citation needed]. In the future you can use Andre🚐 18:04, 4 January 2023 (UTC)

Blocked as a sockpuppet
Appealing the decision as I am not related to the blocked user. I have been told off twice once for excessive copying, and once for reverting too many times. I think my edits have been constructive, and I have tried to learn the rules, and not break them. There must be more than one person in Scotland interested in Humanistic Judaism, and Samaritanism, and the I/P conflict. I don't think that my comments have been against Judaism at all. I am not religous as are most of the world's Jews, but that is not the same thing. I would be happy to take a sabbatical, or some other punishment.

unblock

 * I appealed my block and was told that denial is not enough, and I have been advised to answer the comments on the block page. The comments say that the other editor was blocked 6 years ago. One reviewer says it is likely that I am that editor, one says more evidence is required, and one says that they have not come to a conclusion. That does not seem to be overwhelming agreement to me. Am I supposed to review the logs from 6 years ago, and see what the resemblances are? How about if I avoid certain topics for a period of time to prove my good faith, or just get banned for so many months. I doubt if anyone would wait that long to return, and just having overlapping interests with someone else does not seem to be good enough grounds to ban me. I haven't been reprimanded or told off except for the two cases I referred to above, and I have not been accused of being disruptive or causing trouble. I think that I have made some good edits, and I certainly deny that I am anti Judaism. I am a bible scholar and can stick to reviewing Biblical topics and avoid I/P issues, until told to, or forever, if that is the contentious area. Regards Pngeditor (talk) 15:51, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
 * If this is indeed a case of mistaken identity, you might want to email the administrator who performed the investigation (or arbcom as suggested in the initial block notice) and ask what the other evidence presented against you was (this was provided off-wiki, via email) - in order for you to respond to it. As it stands, with you accused of sockpuppetry, a block it is, and it is pointless to appeal for a block for this to be modified to a topic ban or anything else. Sockpuppetry is a behavior that undermines the entire disciplinary system on Wikipedia, and so the only community response to it is a full block. Iskandar323 (talk) 16:30, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

Source?
Can you please state where in your source it said ‘they promote Israeli settlements’, because if not stop making biased edits. Salandarianflag (talk) 22:15, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
