Please clarify if you have used any AI tools such as ChatGPT in the process of your editing. Please note that doing so is generally not allowed. Fermiboson (talk) 18:45, 26 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Fermiboson, thank you for your message. I am happy to clarify the process of my editing. All the content has been sourced, reviewed, verified, and adapted by me in accordance with Wikipedia’s sourcing and neutrality guidelines. I may have used an AI tool to help verify my grammar and syntax for certain sentences, as well as a neutrality checker. I take full responsibility for the edits. Kaspar-trout (talk) 20:01, 26 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]
It appears that your use as described is in violation of policy and therefore I would appreciate if you could cease your use of AI tools in editing and use your own words instead. Typos and grammar mistakes are easily fixable while AI induced errors are not. (Also, there is no "may have used", either you have used or you haven't.)

Introduction to contentious topics

[edit]

You have recently edited a page related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, 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 an expanded level of powers and discretion in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

Additionally, you must be logged in, have 500 edits, and have an account age of 30 days, and you are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on any page within this topic.

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. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

Unreliable sources; Reddit and blocks do not meet WP:RS

[edit]

Information icon Hello, I'm Ohnoitsjamie. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that in one of your recent contributions you cited a link to a source that may not be reliable. Sources considered unreliable should generally not be used to support statements. Information from an unreliable source can be challenged by other editors and removed. Reliable sources are generally those with a reputation for fact-checking and editorial oversight. Self-published material, user-generated content, and certain other outlets such as blogs, wikis, personal websites, and websites or publications with a poor reputation for fact-checking may not meet these standards. If you are unsure about which sources are appropriate, there is a list of sources that are considered generally reliable. Additionally, some WikiProjects have their own lists of sources that are considered reliable for that particular subtopic. If you are still unsure about a source's reliability, you can ask at the reliable sources noticeboard. Thank you. OhNoitsJamie talk 16:16, 11 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you @Ohnoitsjamie I suggest that the entire section then should be deleted, as it's almost impossible tou source within WP standards. What do you think? Kaspar-trout (talk) 17:03, 11 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
I was reluctant to do that at first because it seemed like there should be a source out there somewhere that wasn't a promoted product guide, but on second thought I decided that weighted training gloves are not really boxing gloves in the first place, and more of a general fitness device, so I removed it as off-topic.

George Kadish

[edit]

Hi, your edit here caught my attention because of a reference with the title "Making sure you're not a bot". Now I've looked at it in more detail, I notice you there is a sentences you added that is uncomfortably close to the source material. I see also that you have been warned about copyright violation before on multiple occasions.

Original text:

Titled "Pictures of the Ghetto", the exhibition was shown as early as summer 1945 and displayed in makeshift venues in Displaced Persons (DP) camps in Landsberg and Feldafing, as well as in Munich.

Your text, my emphasis

As early as summer 1945, Kadish used his photographs in his traveling exhibition Pictures of the Ghetto displayed in makeshift venues in Displaced Persons (DP) camps in Landsberg and Feldafing, as well as in Munich

I advise you to stop doing this. It would be also nice if you could find other instances where you've done this and sort that out, because I really don't want to have to go to every edit you've made and see if they're copyvios or not.

Morwen (talk) 14:11, 18 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Morwen, yes you're right. There shouldn't be more. I remember that edit because I was trying to compress several details into one sentence and a part of it remained unchanged, but that is not an excuse. I’ll rewrite it now. Also, I see that the reference title also clearly captured the wrong page. Thank you for pointing this out to me. Kaspar-trout (talk) 14:44, 18 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! Morwen (talk) 15:09, 18 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

There is at least one other one I have spotted, by the way. Morwen (talk) 15:15, 18 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I'll go through them Kaspar-trout (talk) 15:21, 18 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

From Our Latin Thing:

quote from: https://www.thewire.co.uk/in-writing/book-extracts/read-an-extract-from-made-in-nuyorico-fania-records-lain-music-salsa-s-nuyorican-meanings

The New York Times review described them as “blocks where the city sanitation sweepers seem never to have visited”. Indeed, the mise-en-scène underscores the deteriorating economic conditions at the end of the 1960s and in the early 1970s, a period marked by the serial displacement of Puerto Rican residents, increasing unemployment, and disinvestment in Black and Puerto Rican neighbourhoods throughout the city. The opening scene also summons memories of the Young Lords garbage offensive in 1969 in East Harlem.

quote from article

Critics have read these street sequences in relation to the deteriorating economic conditions of the period, including displacement, unemployment, and disinvestment in Black and Puerto Rican neighborhoods, and has linked the opening street scene to memories of the Young Lords’ 1969 “Garbage Offensive” in East Harlem.

Morwen (talk) 11:08, 19 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I could rewrite like this: Critics noted the film’s urban setting situates the film within the social and economic context of New York City in the late 1960s and early 1970s, when many neighbourhoods faced disinvestment, unemployment, poor municipal services, and eventually displacement. The opening scene has been interpreted as evoking the Young Lords’ 1969 garbage offensive in East Harlem, a protest against unequal sanitation conditions. Kaspar-trout (talk) 11:44, 19 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Personally I think that's still too close a paraphrase. The aim here is not to take a quote and then slowly permute it word by word until it is sufficiently different. If I were you I would identify all the places I have done this and remove the copyvio. I wouldn't even worry about replacing it for now. Morwen (talk) 11:49, 19 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@Morwen thank you for your help (and friendly tone). i appreciate it. I'd like to replace this paragraph though. maybe the Young Lords' garbage offensive isn't necessary. I think it could be cut as it is interpretative anyways Kaspar-trout (talk) 12:37, 19 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
It must be removed now. You can replace it at your leisure afterwards. Morwen (talk) 12:39, 19 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

source:

Grossman had taken steps while still in the ghetto to ensure that his photographs would be preserved by frequently distributing them among his friends who hid them (Arieh Ben-Menachem thus retained 417 prints) and hiding them before his deportation in October 1944 (he had been part of the “cleanup commando” after the liquidation of the ghetto).

Grossman’s friend, the designer Pinchas Shaar, said the photographer stashed thousands of negatives, hundreds of prints, his Leica camera and jewelry entrusted to him by relatives, in two big clay jars and buried them in opposite walls of an abandoned bunker. Ben-Menahem gives a somewhat different account, writing that Grossman packed his archive in tin cans inside a wooden crate, “with the help of a friend he took out a window sill in his apartment, removed some bricks, placed the crate in the hollow, then replaced the sill.” The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., says the prints were hidden in the apartment and in a cellar.

After the war, part of the archive was recovered by Shaar and Grossman’s sister Rozsa, and taken to Israel where many disappeared during the Arab-Israeli war of 1948.

your edit:

Before his deportation in October 1944, Grossman attempted to preserve his photographic archive by distributing prints among friends and hiding negatives and prints in the ghetto. One of them, Arieh Ben-Menachem later retained 417 of Grossman’s prints. Accounts differ on how the remaining archive was hidden: Pinchas Shaar recalled that Grossman placed negatives, prints and his Leica camera entrusted to him by relatives in two big clay jars and buried them in opposite walls of an abandoned in an abandoned bunker, while Ben-Menachem wrote that the material was packed in tincans inside a wooden crate and concealed behind a window sill in Grossman’s apartment. The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum describes the photographs as having been hidden in the apartment and in a cellar. After the war, part of the archive was recovered by Shaar and Grossman’s sister Rozsa, and taken to Israel where many disappeared during the Arab-Israeli war of 1948.

wikis as sources

[edit]

Hi again, I thought I'd check back to see how you're getting on with removing the sort of thing I highlighted earlier and I'm afraid I've seen some additional concerning edits - specifically that [2] [3] both add facts sourced to a wiki at boxrec.com. We usually can't use wikis as sources - see WP:USERGEN. Morwen (talk) 15:02, 23 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again, sorry for the delay. If I understood properly, your concern is about the nature of the two BoxRec sources, right? I had the same doubt, but I noticed that BoxRec is cited on many boxing-related pages because sources are not always straightforward in this field, especially for figures who were not major headline names. My understanding was that BoxRec could at least support basic factual information such as fight records or professional activity. That said, I can either remove those references or keep them only where they support simple record-based facts, while trying to replace them with more appropriate secondary sources where possible.
