Hi,

I notice your account seems to be a relative new joiner (Feb 2014) to Wikipedia editing, and is quickly involved in an editorial dispute about the Kiruv Organisation.

I ask you to read very carefully, our page on edit warring at Edit warring and take note. It's not a complicated page. It basically says, however strongly you feel, however right you might be, or others might be, Wikipedia disagreements are resolved by dialog and focussing on evidence from reliable sources, not hearsay, and not ignoring each other totally.

We do have strong rules on editor conduct; if you feel other editors break those, please feel free to ask at our administrators board, if it becomes impossible or someone simply refuses to act rerasonably. Right now, I haven't looked much at this argument, beyond noticing it has attracted a few people who don't know how Wikipedia disputes work, and may not know that people can be blocked for "fighting" or just undoing each others attempts constantly, when they should be talking about problems in an article to find a "best way to represent what is documented".

I have posted a copy of this to several other less experienced editors, or apparent newcomers, in the same dispute, so this isn't about "you" so much as just making sure you all know what the rules are and how to ask for help!

Bottom line - engage in actual "talk page" dialog if there is a disagreement on an article's handling of some matter (via the "discuss" or "talk" tab at the top of that article)..... on Wikipedia, the people who behave well, tend to endure better than the ones who disrupt. It's designed that way. If that's not working, ask for administrator help.
