The article does not specifically mention his kidnapping. Does this needs adding first to the main article if this is the individual in question? Current article only refers to a "possible kidnapping".--Kieronoldham (talk) 03:19, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

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 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.
Additionally, you must be logged-in, have 500 edits and an account age of 30 days, and are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on a 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 here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

@Kieronoldham
Sorry about changing "en" to "on".
English is not my native language, and i thought i was helping by changing (what i thought was a typo.)
Again, really sorry for you having to take time out of your day to fix my mistake. The dictuary nerd (talk) 22:01, 17 February 2024 (UTC)

Apologies if I am bothering, but I wasn't really too sure why you decided to revert my edits on the Murder of Sylvia Likens, as I was simply changing the way the article summary was written to meet Wikipedia's standards. I plan on re-adding it as it is how an article should be written, if you plan on reverting it back again please add an explicit reason. Thank you. 50.245.38.157 (talk) 00:37, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
It is the standard format for how ledes of articles of this nature are written (the lede needs to summarize concisely & in an encyclopedic manner). Consensus has to govern. There are 325 active watchers to the page; if the Wiki. community as a whole agreed with your edit structure, my reinsertion would have been reverted. I perhaps should have been more descriptive in my edit summary, however. Best regards,--Kieronoldham (talk) 00:45, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
I have added this entry, and this in part as a sign of good faith to signify the finality of meaning of my well-being in my edits as per your requests (and that is what they were). Your edit summaries on my page as opposed to other editors (whom I could name but won't) whom you also ask to help in this manner/these specific projects, seem to illustrate a personal focus upon myself with personal summaries.--Kieronoldham (talk) 03:45, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
As I say, I'll let yous know as and when I have time to devote sufficient focus upon article edits for you going forward.--Kieronoldham (talk) 00:03, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
I would be happy to help, but I assure you it was largely better as it was. Myself and another editor worked extensively to make it GA something like six years ago. We made every edit recommendation the reviewer suggested and it still did not pass. It has over 960 watchers. I assure you it had a better chance of passing for GA as it was without the majority of your edits.
I'll be happy to help, but (and I am sorry here) I would be surprised if it had a 10% chance of passing for GA with your well intentioned edits. Sections like: "Dahmer would usually kill his victims by giving hitchhikers or people he met at gay bars a ride to his apartment. He would later intoxicate his victims with triazolam or temazepam and suffocate them once unconscious. Dahmer conducted various unlawful experiments with his victims' bodies in an attempt to create a "zombie". He would also eat their flesh and perform sexual acts on their bodies. When trialed, Dahmer stated his main motive was to have total control over his victims' body" and "Dahmer's killings eluded authorities, but he was eventually apprehended after his most recent victim fled and notified officers of his actions" read unencyclopedic and like something of a novel.--Kieronoldham (talk) 20:19, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
I did. What I was going to say was it stood as a result of the last reviewer's recommendations. Surely that would be the best way to start by seeing what the next reviewer would say.--Kieronoldham (talk) 21:19, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
I read that GAN and I don't see how my edits go against their recommendations. As of 2024, their suggestions won't benefit the article, so let's wait and see what the next reviewer has to say. It's odd that you're mentioning that GAN when it happened more than ten years ago. Please reconsider your decision. I will start a thread on the talk page & I will not comment further.
