Hi, while you're obviously experienced on wikipedia globally, it might be worth you popping over to the permissions requesting arena and making the case for being granted extended confirmed permissions here specifically to avoid potential questions. Iskandar323 ( talk) 17:41, 29 March 2023 (UTC) reply

Sorry, I noted with hindsight that the rules around this are actually quite restrictive. My bad. Iskandar323 ( talk) 19:04, 30 March 2023 (UTC) reply
Iskandar323 No problem, anyway thanks for caring. Mawer10 ( talk) 20:56, 30 March 2023 (UTC) reply

Your recent page move

You recently attempted to change the title of History of the Jews and Judaism in the Land of Israel with the following justification:

The new title follows the pattern followed by other similar articles, apparent consensus to remove "Judaism" from the title based on previous discussion

This is a blatant mischaracterization of the closed talk discussion on the page which clearly stated there was no consensus for the move.

Mistamystery There is no consensus to maintain the status quo based on this discussion; furthermore, the arguments for renaming are plausible. Also WP:BOLD. The current title is an anomaly, not the standard. Mawer10 ( talk) 18:14, 25 December 2023 (UTC) reply
All appreciation for boldness, but contentious topics guidelines and precedent are clear on this - you want to change the name of an ARB-PIA protected article that an admin has already chimed in upon after a previous zero-consensus move request - start a new move request and get the talk page on it.

Happy to pull in the admin in question here. Mistamystery ( talk) 18:22, 25 December 2023 (UTC) reply

Potential EC Gaming/Violation

Upon further review of your contributions, it appears you are in violation of EC rules and have committed edit behavior that may be construed as Wikipedia:Gaming the system.

WP:PGAME is very clear - sandbox edits cannot count toward EC status. (I also do not believe talk page edits count toward EC as well - they have to be main article edits).

Your account currently lists 665 edits, of which only 170 are main page edits. Otherwise, your account lists 241 talk page edits, and 209 sandbox edits.

https://xtools.wmcloud.org/ec/en.wikipedia.org/Mawer10

Recommend you cease any/all editing on ECP articles until you have cleanly achieved 500 main page edits. Please direct questions to this page (or to admins) if there is any confusion regarding EC / ARBPIA protections: Wikipedia:Contentious topics.

I am originally an editor at the Portuguese Wikipedia, and although I don't edit much on the main pages of the English Wikipedia (and the Portuguese Wikipedia too for a while) I am always reading articles here in the English version. This is why I have a lot of edits on the talk pages. Thank you for the warning. Mawer10 ( talk) 23:15, 25 December 2023 (UTC) reply
Yes, I noted (and appreciate the significant contributions you've made over on the Portuguese site!).
Unfortunately (as I know you know) contribution records don't cross over from one language wiki to another, so best to be careful here. I know for certain that sandbox edits don't count for EC, but I would check with a more experienced user or admin regarding talk page edits qualifying for EC - as I have yet to find for certain whether they count or not toward it or not. Mistamystery ( talk) 23:59, 25 December 2023 (UTC) reply
Whether talk page edits count for EC status or not, now I feel that I must achieve the 500 edits on the main pages. Perhaps I overestimated the value of my edits on Wikipedia in Portuguese, considering that the content I edit in English Wikipedia differs from what I edit in Portuguese. I'm planning to translate some of my work from Portuguese to English in the near future. Mawer10 ( talk) 00:59, 26 December 2023 (UTC) reply
