Control copyright icon Hello Grinch the great! Your additions to New Kingdom of Egypt 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 Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, it's important to understand and adhere to guidelines about using information from sources to prevent copyright and plagiarism issues. Here are the key points:

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices. Persistent failure to comply may result in being blocked from editing. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. Remsense诉 08:59, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for the pings, but I also noticed you made several unexplained changes to articles that either changed sourced content or added more content unsourced. Please explain where these claims come from in the edit summary, and include a citation to a reliable source. Remsense诉 09:04, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Like? Tell me some. Grinch the great (talk) 15:46, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
...tell you some sources for the information you presumably already want to add? Ideally, you learn about a thing first, and then you write to teach others about it on an encyclopedia; the other way around seems backwards. There are numerous sources already cited in the article, if you want to peruse those. There are likely open access books in places like the Open Library. Remsense诉 15:52, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You didn’t understand what I meant,I meant I want you to tell me,from all my changes,which of them needed sources that didn’t already exist in the page itself Grinch the great (talk) 16:10, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You always want to include sources when you add or change things on Wikipedia. Any content that's unsourced may be removed at any time according to our site policy, and it may not be readded again after unless a source is provided. As regards the map, there would need to be a reliable source that states that the boundaries are what they are, as to fully include every claim made by the map, if that makes sense. Remsense诉 16:13, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think pretty much all changes I made were linked to an already existing page,like for example, Thumose III (not sure I spelled his name correctly) controlling Cyprus,I linked it to an already existing page that has the link added to it. Completely unnecessary to add the source two times. And about the map,it was done through weeks of research,listing all the sources and links is impossible,it’s just too many. Of course if there was any mistake in the map,then I would understand why you would remove it,but I didn’t make one mistake,like the land of punt was in Yemen and the Horn of Africa,that’s confirmed by many historians and it was also under major Egyptian influence. The removal of the map made no sense,the Reddit post shows that the map isn’t the work of the Redditor but by a TikToker who is a friend of mine.

Completely unnecessary to add the source two times

The big reason we care about sources is verifiability. Meaning, if someone wants to know where a claim in an article came from, they should be able to figure it out without any difficulty. Our standard is usually that claims must be cited by the end of the paragraph to count as adequately cited for the purposes of verifiability. In a table, this would be a little different, but generally citations are still required. You do not have to copy and paste the entire citation—we have efficient ways to reuse a citation in multiple places. Do you want me to show you how to do that?
As per the map, sure, but surely you understand my position, especially as your upload claims the map as your own work, which was very quickly discovered not to be the case by me. as there's no way I could know that before. Is your friend aware that uploading work to Commons means permanently allowing others to do certain things with their work? Remsense诉 16:39, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I apologize for that part,I am still learning about the whole editing process,I will insert the sources in the future. Most of my edits weren’t anything big,just changing certain words and adding missing stuff.
as for the map,there isn’t an button where I could choose “made by a friend”.The friend has no problem as he allowed the map to be used for anything,the only reason I colored over his username is because it would seem like advertising his account. Grinch the great (talk) 16:46, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I apologize for any grammatical error as English is not my first language. Grinch the great (talk) 16:22, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The map was made by a friend of mine on TikTok,I was given full permission to use it here,the Reddit post clearly shows a username tag on the map. Grinch the great (talk) 15:45, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome!

[edit]

Hi Grinch the great! I noticed your contributions and wanted to welcome you to the Wikipedia community. I hope you like it here and decide to stay.

I've noticed that you've expressed an interest in the Arab–Israeli conflict. Unfortunately, due to a history of conflict and disruptive editing it has been designated a contentious topic and is subject to some strict rules.

The rule that affects you most as a new or IP editor is the prohibition on making any edit related to the Arab–Israel conflict unless you are logged into an account and that account is at least 30 days old and has made at least 500 edits.

This prohibition is broadly construed, so it includes edits such as adding the reaction of a public figure concerning the conflict to their article or noting the position of a company or organization as it relates to the conflict.

The exception to this rule is that you may request a specific change to an article on the talk page of that article or at this page. Please ensure that your requested edit complies with our neutral point of view and reliable sourcing policies, and if the edit is about a living person our policies on biographies of living people as well.

Any edits you make contrary to these rules are likely to be reverted, and repeated violations can lead to you being blocked from editing.

Happy editing! ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 12:44, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

don’t give me such bullshit, my request was deleted because of what exactly? I don’t think the single word “fuck” is enough to dismiss my whole point. Grinch the great (talk) 16:14, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In the topic of the Arab/Israel conflict you are only permitted to edit requests. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 16:23, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Which is what I did,I requested a while back for the USA to be added to the Israeli side,I gave a reason and an article. The request was accepted,so I thought it would stay like that yet I come back today and the USA is completely erased. I thought maybe it was because a Zionist deleted it to credit Israel for something it didn’t do,yet I looked more into this matter,in one single hour,i discovered how biased this whole page was. See i know you won’t much after reading this,but at the very least,added the USA back and make it permanent,I don’t know how but figure it out. The USA is the reason Israel didn’t get absolutely destroyed in that war. Grinch the great (talk) 16:30, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
So unless you are going to do shit,don’t talk to me because I am contributing to this biased website by translating a page. Grinch the great (talk) 16:32, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction to contentious topics

[edit]

You have recently edited a page related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

  • adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
  • comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
  • follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
  • comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
  • refrain from gaming the system.

Additionally, you must be logged-in, have 500 edits and an account age of 30 days, and are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on a page within this topic.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.
