User talk:Plot Spoiler

Please explain yourself

Why so passionate? All we are both trying to do is reach an NPOV. That needs thoughtful discussion to continue until we have reached a resolution. Wikipedia must move on even if you choose to stop answering questions for six months. Oncenawhile (talk) 21:50, 27 November 2013 (UTC)

Hi PS. I see your topic ban is due to run out in a couple of weeks. If I was you, in the meantime I would refrain from any edits and talk page discussion of anything related to the Arab-Israeli conflict per the conditions of your ban. Dlv999 (talk) 07:04, 28 November 2013 (UTC)

Hi plot spoiler, I see you ignored my polite and friendly warning and continue to edit articles related to the Arab-Israeli conflict and clearly marked on their talk pages as being subject to ARBPIA, in contravention of your topic ban. [1][2][3] Dlv999 (talk) 17:35, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

Editing the pogrom article on that material was a mistake on my part. The latter two edits I don't believe violate the topic ban as I understand it (please tell me if I'm wrong). The USS Liberty incident was an incident between the U.S. and Israel. I reverted some pretty obvious vandalism. On the Falk page, I was just adding a wikilink. Thanks for your concern and checking my contributions so I keep out of trouble. Plot Spoiler (talk) 17:48, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

I've self-rv'd those two edits. Thanks for watching out for me. Plot Spoiler (talk) 18:05, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

Your DYK nomination of U.S.–UAE 123 Agreement for Peaceful Civilian Nuclear Energy Cooperation

Hi, the maximum allowed length of a DYK hook is 200 characters, but the one you supplied is 292. It will have to be edited or replaced with a shorter hook. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 10:00, 1 December 2013 (UTC)

DYK nomination of Aftermath (2012 film)

Hello! Your submission of Aftermath (2012 film) at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! BlueMoonset (talk) 19:31, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

• Just to let you know that I've marked this for closure as unsuccessful, since you have not responded despite being active on the site. If you post there before it's formally rejected and address the issues raised, you might still save it, but that closure could happen five minutes or five days from now.

Nomination of the 1981 Iraqi embassy bombing for DYK

Hello! Your submission of 1981 Iraqi embassy bombing at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! Iselilja (talk) 10:32, 13 December 2013 (UTC)

There turned out to be a problem with the hook that I was not aware of when I approved it, so you need to take a look at it again. Sorry. Iselilja (talk) 16:14, 15 December 2013 (UTC)

Knockout (game)

Popularity doesn't mean that it deserves its own separate article when it could be discussed better as a part of another article.—Ryulong (琉竜) 20:19, 14 December 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for December 22

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Iran–Israel proxy conflict, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page New Yorker (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hillel Page

Can you explain, rather than just saying incorrect? What was incorrect? BenjaminHold (talk) 00:35, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

An explanation of your reverts has been requested. BenjaminHold (talk) 19:30, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Lebanon bombings and assassinations (2004–present) may have broken the syntax by modifying 2 "[]"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:

• a former Finance Minister of Lebanon and a foe of Hezbollah, was killed in a car bombing in Beirut]]. Seven others were also killed.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dailystar.com.lb/News/Lebanon-News/

Syrian Civil War general sanctions

As a result of a community discussion, long-term and persistent problems in the editing of articles related to the Syrian Civil War, broadly construed, have been acknowledged. The community has therefore enacted broad editing restrictions, described at Talk:Syrian Civil War/General sanctions and below.

• Any uninvolved administrator may, at his or her own discretion, impose sanctions on any editor working in the area of conflict if, despite being warned, that editor repeatedly or seriously fails to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behavior, or any normal editorial process.
• The sanctions imposed may include blocks of up to one year in length, bans from editing any page or set of pages within the area of conflict, bans on any editing related to the topic or its closely related topics, restrictions on reverts or other specified behaviors; or any other measures which the imposing administrator believes are reasonably necessary to ensure the smooth functioning of the project.
• Prior to any sanctions being imposed, the editor shall be given a warning with a link to this decision and, where appropriate, should be counseled on specific steps that he or she can take to improve his or her editing in accordance with relevant policies and guidelines.
• Sanctions imposed may be appealed to the imposing administrator or at the appropriate administrators' noticeboard.

These editing restrictions may be applied to any editor for cause, provided the editor has been previously informed of the decision. This message is to so inform you. This message does not necessarily mean that your current editing has been deemed a problem; this is a template message crafted to make it easier to notify any user who has edited the topic of the existence of these sanctions.

Generally, the next step, if an administrator feels your conduct on pages in this topic area is disruptive, would be a warning, to be followed by the imposition of sanctions (although in cases of serious disruption, the warning may be omitted). Hopefully no such action will be necessary.

This notice is effective only if given by an uninvolved administrator and logged at Talk:Syrian civil war/General sanctions#Log of notifications. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 09:16, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
