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)
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)
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)
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)
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)
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! Fastily23:22, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
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)
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)
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. Hamtechperson00:13, 15 August 2024 (UTC)
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)
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)
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)
@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)
Removal of content reverted
Hi, you recently reverted the removal of content I requested. This was in relation to the page of a Living Person - and this Living Person requested this information to be removed as it was not factual. I did actually include this in my explanation (although you said there was no explanation?), so just want to clarify the reason it was removed. I have entered the removal and explanation again hope this is ok. 80.46.1.85 (talk) 16:05, 22 September 2024 (UTC)
I recommend you read Wikipedia:FAQ/Article subjects. And could you say who you are? Are you the person, a representative, are you paid for this (WP:COI and WP:PAID)? There is a source backing up this, but you didn't explain why it should be removed. Anyone can say "The person didn't approve this" for anything in this article. win8x (talking | spying)16:12, 22 September 2024 (UTC)
I am acting as a representative of the person. The source backing this up is the subject of the page, who has denounced the content as unreliable and false. Although the source referenced does indeed exist, the content itself is false - and therefore the subject does not want any association with it. There are far more controversial items related to this living person which they have no problem with as long as they are factual - but the problem is that this particular source was financed by someone trying to spread falsities and therefore shouldn't be quoted or referenced together with this individual as it's not correct. I'm not sure how else I can prove this? 80.46.1.85 (talk) 15:28, 8 October 2024 (UTC)
You recently removed and edit off of the Tropicana field Wikipedia page and I made that edit. You didn't find a source because I didn't know I needed a source. Before going and reverting edits, please be considerate and message people to add a source. Thanks! 😁 Liam BARTON (talk) 02:35, 11 October 2024 (UTC)
Fortunately Gemini is actually a reliable source as it was proved by Tampa officals. Please do not revert my edit again. Thank you. 🙂 Liam BARTON (talk) 03:04, 11 October 2024 (UTC)
Actually, to your concern Gemini is no longer under devolpment and it is 98% accurate half the time. Do research before revertin. Liam BARTON (talk) 18:50, 11 October 2024 (UTC)
For you comment on the previous topic, Gemini is not a reliable source. I did not decide this.
I don't think your edit to the page was constructive. It didn't have anything to do with the person, wasn't apporiate for the lead of the article and isn't present anywhere else in the article (as anything in the lead should be; and should be sourced).
