Reversion of Section
[edit]I saw you recently reverted a section I put together in Zionism. I am confused often about the nature of the restrictions of creating or editing content, as they appear to vary significantly on different pages. What is the background for prohibiting any new sections in that article before a discussion has been made? What other edits are subject to such a restriction? אקעגן (talk) 18:18, 16 May 2025 (UTC)
- Hi אקעגן, there are broad bodies of policy including WP:Verifiability, WP:Neutral point of view, and WP:No original research, which are generally discussed and applied locally at each individual article's talk page. You can discuss a change you'd like to make to the Zionism article on its talk page and try to get WP:Consensus from other editors. إيان (talk) 18:33, 16 May 2025 (UTC)
- Is this then broadly the case with every contentious page that no new sections can be introduced before discussion? I used, at least in my view, only high-quality academic sources, and pointed to a pre-existing article, so my hope was that it wouldn't violate the policies you outline. אקעגן (talk) 18:36, 16 May 2025 (UTC)
AfD for Zionist as a pejorative
[edit]Hi @إيان, did you intend to nominate this article for deletion? It's not listed on WP:AFD. Just wanted to give you a heads up and if you need any help with anything feel free to ping me, I should be online for the next hour or so. Dr vulpes (Talk) 22:09, 23 May 2025 (UTC)
- Dr vulpes, I did, yes. Thanks for offering to help. Is there anything missing at this point? إيان (talk) 22:11, 23 May 2025 (UTC)
Thanks for your contributions to Sbeih.jpg. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.
Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit the draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Onel5969 TT me 11:33, 5 June 2025 (UTC)

Wikimania?
[edit]Hello Eyan, hope you’re having a great summer! I was wondering if you'll be attending Wikimania in Nairobi? For years I've noticed an overlap in our interests and editing. I’d love to finally meet you in person. Mooonswimmer 00:57, 26 July 2025 (UTC)
