Date format
I see you have changed my correction of the date format on Otzma Yehudit. We have a manual of style on date formats (WP:MOSDATE) and they must be either "19 July 2017" or "July 19, 2017"; you cannot use "19th". Please could you correct it. Thanks, Number   5  7  23:39, 23 July 2017 (UTC)

On it, sorry wasn't aware of the format. ShimonChai (talk) 23:40, 23 July 2017 (UTC)

Michael Ben Ari
You may wanna take a look at this: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Michael_Ben-Ari&diff=793312505&oldid=792952705--190.137.234.135 (talk) 00:18, 2 August 2017 (UTC)

Hello, thank you for informing me, however I can't edit the page anymore since the user access level required to has been changed, no doubt that it was an attempt by a bias editor (proof in the fact that the sources used are known for being bias.) in an attempt to try and silence any sort of attempt to make Wikipedia less biased. So sadly I cannot do anything about said editor changing it back. ShimonChai (talk) 02:26, 2 August 2017 (UTC)

Nomination of Linda Wenzel for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Linda Wenzel is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/Linda Wenzel until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. ‡ Єl Cid of ᐺalencia ᐐT₳LKᐬ  22:23, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

Hello, the article was already deleted wasn't it? That was also around a month or two ago, I don't know why this is being opened back up.ShimonChai (talk) 22:53, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

Weasel wording
Please avoid adding weasel words (such as "supposed") in articles like you did at radical feminism.  Eve rgr een Fir  (talk) 23:49, 11 December 2017 (UTC)

Date formatting
Hello Shimon. When writing dates on Wikipedia, please don't use informal contractions like "Jan 4" – you need to spelling it out in full. For Israel-related articles, "4 January" would be the preferred way. Cheers, Number   5  7  18:41, 31 January 2018 (UTC) Sorry, thought abbreviation worked, I just remembered that you can't use a comma. ShimonChai (talk) 19:54, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

Social Exclusion
Yay and hello User:ShimonChai, I applaud your effort and time to make the article Social exclusion a better one so as to inform the world properly. However, editing so much in different parts of the article at a go was not too good. Other editors, like I watching the page would have loved it if you made the edits section by section and gave a summary of your edit each time.

Would you love me to revert your last edit on the article so you contribute to it properly?

Danidamiobi (talk) 10:20, 8 March 2018 (UTC) Danidamiobi (talk) 10:20, 8 March 2018 (UTC)

My grounds for making such drastic edits all at wants were at they were all unsourced or pov, which to my understand means that they can be removed. If you want to revert it, go ahead, I can't stop you, but I probably won't try and edit it again in all honesty. ShimonChai (talk) 12:13, 8 March 2018 (UTC)

No Shimon, I would not revert your edits. I don't believe in undoing people's efforts at the convenience of a click from my armchair. What you did was the best for the article. This article is being used by sociologists, social workers and activists all over the world and they would be thankful for this. But this is a collaborative work, breaking your edits into batches or similar actions and summarizing each rather than combining it all is good team work because you, we can't be all right on some things that look so.

Hello, I'm L293D. I noticed that in this edit to Confirmation, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. L293D (☎ • ✎) 19:59, 9 March 2018 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 20
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Baruch Marzel, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Kach ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Baruch_Marzel check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Baruch_Marzel?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Orphaned non-free image File:Otzma Yehudit New Logo.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Otzma Yehudit New Logo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. —&thinsp;JJMC89&thinsp; (T·C) 06:40, 24 March 2018 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:Otzma Yehudit.png
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Otzma Yehudit.png. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F6 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. —&thinsp;JJMC89&thinsp; (T·C) 06:41, 24 March 2018 (UTC)

File:Fallout-New-California.jpg
Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot (talk) 17:25, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

Unspecified source/license for File:Itamarbengvir.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Itamarbengvir.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time after the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like PD-self (to release all rights), (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy
 * Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by MifterBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Media copyright questions. NOTE: Once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. --MifterBot (Talk • Contribs • Owner) 22:01, 7 June 2018 (UTC)

Welcome
Welcome to Wikipedia! We have compiled some guidance for new healthcare editors:
 * 1) Please keep the mission of Wikipedia in mind. We provide the public with accepted knowledge, working in a community.
 * 2) We do that by finding high quality secondary sources and summarizing what they say, giving WP:WEIGHT as they do.  Please do not try to build content by synthesizing content based on primary sources.
 * 3) Please use high-quality, recent, secondary sources for medical content (see WP:MEDRS; for the difference between primary and secondary sources, see the WP:MEDDEF section.) High-quality sources include review articles (which are not the same as peer-reviewed), position statements from nationally and internationally recognized bodies (like CDC, WHO, FDA), and major medical textbooks. Lower-quality sources are typically removed. Please beware of predatory publishers – check the publishers of articles (especially open source articles) at Beall's list.
 * 4) The ordering of sections typically follows the instructions at WP:MEDMOS. The section above the table of contents is called the WP:LEAD. It summarizes the body. Do not add anything to the lead that is not in the body. Style is covered in MEDMOS as well; we avoid the word "patient" for example.
 * 5) We don't use terms like "currently", "recently," "now", or "today". See WP:RELTIME.
 * 6) More generally see WP:MEDHOW, which gives great tips for editing about health -- for example, it provides a way to format citations quickly and easily
 * 7) Citation details are important:
 * 8) *Be sure cite the PMID for journal articles and ISBN for books
 * 9) *Please include page numbers when referencing a book or long journal article, and please format citations consistently within an article.
 * 10) *Reference tags generally go after punctuation, not before; there is no preceding space.
 * 11) We use very few capital letters (see WP:MOSCAPS) and very little bolding. Only the first word of a heading is usually capitalized.
 * 12) Common terms are not usually wikilinked; nor are years, dates, or names of countries and major cities. Avoid overlinking!\
 * 13) Never copy and paste from sources; we run detection software on new edits.
 * 14) Talk to us! Wikipedia works by collaboration at articles and user talkpages.

Once again, welcome, and thank you for joining us! Please share these guidelines with other new editors.

Hi ShimonChai

I'm an anthropology student doing an online research project on wikipedians and their motivations and ideals for writing and editing wikipedia pages. I was wondering if you would be interested in answering a few questions I have - sort of like a small online interview.

2017 Women's March
maybe a couple of words should be added that explain how this alleged conversation affected the Women's March. I think that would be an improvement, because currently that is unclear so people who read the article don't know if the alleged conversation is relevant to the march. i sure didnt.

I dont think its an editwar, I remove something and ask for evidence, first you put it back saying there is evidence but you don't show it, so i remove it and then I add it back in after you post evidence.

With subjects like these we should always be very careful.

do you think that it would be a good idea to add something to the article that explains how this affected the march (bad press/other groups distancing themselves).

The VOX article you linked to says:

In the wake of the allegations, the Democratic National Committee and progressive groups like the Southern Poverty Law Center have distanced themselves from Women’s March, Inc

When i read about a link to the NOI I started to understand the allegation better because the NOI is openly antisemitic; for people who don't know about that link the allegation is rather surprising (and bizarre).

Libby Kane (talk)
 * Hello,

First thing: "I dont think its an editwar, I remove something and ask for evidence, first you put it back saying there is evidence but you don't show it, so i remove it and then I add it back in after you post evidence." The reason I brought up that rule was strictly because you reverted my revert of removal of sourced content in dispute, before WP:CON was met.. Generally speaking, removing Reliable sources requires some sort of consensus especially when the initial removal is reverted. Though I agree that better citations could have been used later on. When the Tablet section was initially added shortly after the event occurred the initial impact of the report itself was what was being covered, and not the impact on the Women's March as a whole, and on a local level, and in that respect the article is fairly outdated.

However, the section was entitled "Organizers" which mostly deals with the Organizers specifically, and the articles cited were talking about the organizers within the context of the Womens March as the main focus of the article, for instance "Women’s March Roiled by Accusations of Anti-Semitism", well it does focus on the Organizers specifically (the topic of that section of the article.), It was talking about them within the wider context of them being leaders of the Women's March, and not as separate from that. Though you are correct, I should have started off by responding to you by linking citations on how it was impacting the wider movement at large.

"do you think that it would be a good idea to add something to the article that explains how this affected the march (bad press/other groups distancing themselves)." Yes, I completely agree that it would be a good idea to expand upon that section further due to more recent coverage that has gone more in depth on how the controversy has changed and impacted the Women's March as a movement. (i.e local groups starting to disaffiliate with the national group.) ShimonChai (talk) 05:48, 21 January 2019 (UTC)


 * before you posted evidence it seemed like that paragraph gave undue attention to a very serious (and bizarre) allegation against two individuals in an article about an event attended by thousands of people, that is why i removed it and only put it back after i had read the evidence. I spend some time reading about the allegations and there are facebook posts talking about the NOI which is an organization that believes that "the" white man is the devil and that "the" jews are responsible for all things they believe to be bad (not just the slave trade (which is bad), but for example also homosexuality (which is neutral)). So in that context the allegations are way more believable. The fact that the DNC and the SPLC and local groups distanced themselves from the national group is important information because it shows that this is not just a random allegation against some individuals without any consequences but something that had a huge impact on the organisation as a whole. Please think about how we can explain this in the article; I will do the same. Libby Kane (talk)
