Hi, about article History of Belarus

I I deeply disagree that my position is less neutral - first of all, the very history of the country was written in the neighbouring empire for political purposes, and secondly, my point of view is as close as possible to the modern academic position of Belarus and is much more objective. Thirdly, there are other parties who are interested in biased coverage of the history of Belarus, and their point of view just dominates on the fields of wikipedia and vulragnous public and is considered absolutely wild in the academic environment of most countries.

Hey,

Your very first edit claims that the Ruthenians are at a "higher degree of civilization" or something along those lines. This just doesn't sound neutral. You also didn't add any sources, correct me if I'm wrong. If those claims are "absolutely wild" in most countries and are "as close as possible to the modern academic position" then there must exist countless sources regarding that, see Wikipedia:Verifiability. win8x (talking | spying) 16:30, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Be careful reverting

I provided a reason in an edit summary, and then you reverted me saying a reason wasn't provided. Please be careful when editing. 166.198.21.32 (talk) 21:52, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

While you did provide a reason, it wasn't the best reason ever. Saying that a tree belongs on Wikia because it is a "story" book (it's a religious book) just isn't neutral, Mormons themselves would disagree. I should've used a better edit summary and I apologize, but I still do believe we should discuss about the removal on the talk page. Thanks and my apologies. win8x (talking | spying) 21:55, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I've reported the user to AIV and requested a rev/del on the edit and summary. I would usually just go to only warning for such violations. Knitsey (talk) 20:59, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Gotcha. Thank you! I'm not always sure which warning to use first... win8x (talking | spying) 21:36, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It took me a while to figure it all out but I did get some useful advice about when to report and which level of message to use. Good job spotting it though. Knitsey (talk) 21:44, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Rollback

Hi Win8x. After reviewing your request, I have enabled rollback on your account. Please keep the following things in mind while using rollback:

Being granted rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle or Ultraviolet. It just adds a [Rollback] button next to a page's latest live revision - that's all. It does not grant you any additional "status" on Wikipedia, nor does it change how Wikipedia policies apply to you.
Rollback should be used to revert clear and unambiguous cases of vandalism only. Never use rollback to revert good faith edits.
Rollback should never be used to edit war, and it should never be used in a content-related dispute to restore the page to your preferred revision. If rollback is abused or used for this purpose or any other inappropriate purpose, the rights will be revoked.
Use common sense. If you're not sure about something, ask!

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into trouble or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Fastily 23:22, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Tel Aviv as a primate city

Tel Aviv is Israel's primate city and should be restored to the table. Apart from being backed with a source that explicitly calls it such, it is the absolute economic, social and cultural center of Israel. The fact that there's institutions in Jerusalem are either due to historical inertia (Hebrew University), government mandates (News Broadcasting Studios), or both (Most government institutions). Glide08 (talk) 09:35, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you believe it is, I really don't mind you changing it back. I only fixed what another editor tried to do while I was RC patrolling. win8x (talking | spying) 12:08, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

WT:AC

On the principle of WP:DENY, we, not having the mop, should probably avoid getting into revert-offs with that LTA. If they keep going after a rollback or two, it's probably better to grab an admin through a less public medium so that there are fewer edits for revdelling. Ham tech person 00:13, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, thanks. I honestly didn't know too much if it was right or not to keep doing it. win8x (talking | spying) 00:15, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Hamtechperson Although, by "less public medium" do you think WP:RPP, WP:AIV or just an admin's talk page is better? win8x (talking | spying) 00:19, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

IRC or something quiet and offwiki is probably best rather than one of the noticeboards. Ham tech person 14:04, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You must explain why you undo my act detailedly. If you DON'T any explain, you are troll isn't it?--171.224.180.158 (talk) 00:13, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I did answer though, on your talk page. win8x (talking | spying) 00:15, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, about article Ester Fuchs

I think the article overstates the "controversy" element of her work on the antisemitism taskforce. A single article from the Intercept (a highly partisan source) is not sufficient to say she has been "widely criticized." I rewrote the article to make it more neutral in describing her work. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:18E:C381:7250:8B6:AC4B:963B:1E2D (talk) 01:28, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There's also an article from the NYT, I read it, and it does not portray her in a good light. I don't mind you removing or changing the content, but remember to use Edit summaries, so that people like me know the the motivation behind the change. The word widely could be removed though. win8x (talking | spying) 01:34, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

Omg! Thank you so much! My first barnstar is from an article about toilets... win8x (talking | spying) 03:24, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Copyright issues

Because what I copied is from Bradley's own official website (therefore likely written by him, or at the very least approved by him), I didn't think it would be an issue. I do apologize. Am I allowed to try again? Jadyn81 (talk) 23:36, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Jadyn81 Not really. Bradley (or his writers) own the copyright to the text they themselves wrote, and Wikipedia must host text compatible with its license (basically non-copyrighted text). You are much better off writing the paragraph from the ground up, and avoid any similarity with the original. You can read the full policy here: Wikipedia:Copyright violations. I wouldn't recommend trying again. win8x (talking | spying) 00:57, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
