Welcome!

Hello, Philipbrochard, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your recent edits to the page Cultural conservatism did not conform to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may have been removed. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations verified in reliable, reputable print or online sources or in other reliable media. Always provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles.

If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or come to The Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Again, welcome!  Schrödinger's jellyfish  01:31, 8 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Information icon Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Eastern European cuisine, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Although we are grateful for the addition of the image into the article, please read Help:Pictures before adding any more images to articles. Your edit adding the image of kefir ended up just sitting bare in the article, as a massive image. Schrödinger's jellyfish  01:46, 8 March 2024 (UTC) reply

To clarify:
  • [[File:Kefir in a glass.JPG|Kefir_in_a_glass]] creates a giant image in the middle of the article with no placement or size information, as seen here.
  • [[File:Kefir in a glass.JPG|Kefir_in_a_glass|thumb|[[Kefir]], a fermented milk drink originating in the [[North Caucasus]] region.]] creates a smaller, thumbnail sized image with a caption, as seen Special:Diff/1212304094 and in the other images in the article.
I hope this helps! Schrödinger's jellyfish  01:51, 8 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to gender-related disputes or controversies or people associated with them, 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.

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.

i understand. i am new to wikipedia but i have re read the rules and will consider them in the future. thankyou for alerting me, this is all beneficial. Philipbrochard ( talk) 00:43, 17 March 2024 (UTC) reply
No problem, it's important to know this. Useful to look at the top of talk pages in the subject. No reason for a new user to know this either - see my new post above. Doug Weller talk 11:40, 17 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Accusing my edit as being "in bad faith" in edit summary

Methinks you violated "Assuming good faith (AGF)"; please see /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Assume_good_faith : "Assuming good faith (AGF) means assuming that people are not deliberately trying to hurt Wikipedia".

In your edit summary reverting my edit https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Marriage_in_the_Eastern_Orthodox_Church&oldid=1217704379 you made a valid point, but labeling it "in bad faith" I found to be both untrue and a personal insult.

I shall endeavor to find a better and more accurate wording than either those before and after the reversion. "Officiates" is misleading since in the Catholic Church a priest officiates with the sacrament being conferred on each other by the couple being married. In the Eastern Orthodox Church, however, a priest performs the sacrament; the couple being married say nothing (except by local custom where, before the crowning commences, the priest asks two questions about consent and not being promised to another). The sacrament of matrimony is performed by the priest in a manner analogous to a priest absolving sins at the sacrament of confession.

Also, I shall rename-subsections to conform to the wording in the Euchologion (Trebnik) and when my time permits, I will comb through the liturgical texts and reputable writings to amend this. Vincent J. Lipsio ( talk) 02:20, 8 April 2024 (UTC) reply

Information icon Hello, I'm CanonNi. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Signs of the coming of Judgement Day, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. '''[[ User:CanonNi]]''' ( talk| contribs) 07:16, 12 April 2024 (UTC) reply

The content you added to Signs of the coming of Judgement Day was copied from another website, and thus was a violation of Wikipedia's copyright policy. Please don't add copyright material to Wikipedia. Regardless of the copyright issue, the material appears to have been copied from Reddit, which is not a reliable source for any topic on Wikipedia. — Diannaa ( talk) 14:57, 13 April 2024 (UTC) reply

Your edit ( diff) at Noah's Ark is original research and is not permitted at Wikipedia. Instead, articles must be based on reliable sources. If you are not willing or able to accept that situation, you will have to find another website. Johnuniq ( talk) 09:05, 20 April 2024 (UTC) reply

Disambiguation link notification for April 22

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Islamic eschatology, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Masjid Al Aqsa. 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.)

Edit fight and disrespecting culture

Wikipedia is not a place of promoting your own opinion, it's not a place of fighting over salafa and what some groups of people from your religion has to say about others culture. In many cultures Bindi has been worn, and many scholars don't think it's bidah as it has nothing to do directly to any other religions. Wikipedia is not your fatwa giving places. And when it comes to Islamic clothing, there's literally a Wikipedia article about it so maybe work on that. And when it comes to the prophet's wives, they were required to dressed like that because of their stage. You might get blocked from Wikipedia for this continuously editing on Walima and Islamic marital practices. Wikipedia is not a place a of self promotion and yes you are self promoting as you're promoting your own opinion based on religious Controversies without proper research, study, proof and reliable sources. 2400:2412:44C1:7D00:EDE8:9177:7108:6508 ( talk) 22:08, 24 April 2024 (UTC) reply

This is the last straw

With this edit [1] the edit summary says "stop using cushion words" referring to the word "some" that he removed from "daf holds special importance because some Muslims believe that it is the only musical instrument which is permitted to be used". The source contains a quote saying "Some Muslims hold all forms of music to be forbidden, others permit certain forms of unaccompanied singing, while others will permit the use of daff or drum like a tambourine (without the cymbals). In some Sufi circles the flute or lute are permitted. It's clear you shouldn't be editing here. Doug Weller talk 07:20, 25 April 2024 (UTC) reply

Dear Wikipedia Community,

I'm writing to address the recent ban imposed on my editing privileges due to disruptive behavior. I want to extend my sincerest apologies for any disruption my actions may have caused within the community. Upon reflection, I realize that my editing approach fell short of the standards expected on Wikipedia.

I understand that my behavior may have been perceived as disruptive, and I acknowledge the impact it had on the collaborative nature of Wikipedia. I recognize the importance of adhering to the site's policies and guidelines to maintain a positive editing environment.

To address the issues that led to my ban, I am taking proactive steps to educate myself further on Wikipedia's editing policies and guidelines. Additionally, I am reaching out to experienced editors for feedback and guidance on improving my editing practices. Moving forward, I am committed to exercising greater caution and respect in my contributions, ensuring they align with Wikipedia's core principles of accuracy, neutrality, and verifiability.

I understand that rebuilding trust within the community will require consistent effort and demonstration of positive behavior. I am genuinely committed to regaining your trust and contributing constructively to Wikipedia once again.

I want to take a moment to explain what my thought process was,

I know how to discern my personal opinions from fact, and I strongly believed that I had factual, source based answers for my edit. Since they were reverted, I felt extremely frustrated at the moment because I felt that the others were putting undue weight or weasel wording unorthodox views onto the article, and I feel that the article should atleast point out the mainstream consensus views rather than fringe views. In the future, I will make sure to discuss my point in the talk page of an article rather than edit warring. Due to my relatively new experience with wikipedia (only been less than a year so far) I felt as if my links were not being taken seriously when I had given sources, such as on a page about merits.

In the future I will aim to resolve these disputes cordially on talk pages, at the same time I hope people can understand my point of contention about undue weight.

Thank you for your consideration and understanding. Philipbrochard ( talk) 07:48, 30 April 2024 (UTC) reply
