Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you. Rafytalk18:24, 3 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Users are expected to collaborate with others and avoid editing disruptively.
Stop editing my Kurdistan section on Assyrians in Iraq, as Kurdistan is a part of Iraq, and since there is Iraq in the title I'm more than entitled to put it in there, besides you edit Assyrians issues into every Kurdish topic.

See WP:AN3#User:Kurdwiki reported by User:Rafy (Result: ). If you will respond there and promise to stop warring on the Hakkâri article and elsewhere, you may be able to avoid a block. Promotional editing in favor of a single ethnic group is unlikely to escape the notice of other editors. We expect our articles to be neutral and to reflect all the available information in a balanced manner. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 01:42, 4 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
Edjohnoston, I'm trieng to be neutral please notice that I am not denying any genocides or massacres, instead I'm just removing the emphasis on ethnic groups which were insignificant in the Islamic ottoman army.
That's your personal opinion. If you also want to offer it as Wikipedia's opinion, you need to get support from others, or find a reliable source. Though the sources are not online, someone claims that 'Kurdish irregulars' is in the sources. EdJohnston (talk) 14:17, 4 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
Google books is full with claims from
this book I quote:"The Kurds, morever, were getting more and more out of hand...Kurdish tribes had already attacked and sacked villages in... just north of the Hakkiari Mountains...".
Here we read: "A plan was set in motion for the ethnic cleansing of Hakkari... He had fresh reserves that could march up from Mosul and he mobalized the local Kurdish tribes."

I have provided sufficient evidence on the Shandiar cave discussion page for my edits. I believe I'm being unfairly targeted by propagandists.
You seem to be a brand-new account (June 2) which was created to insert a pro-Kurdish point of view via warlike edits. If you want us to extend good faith, you have some persuading to do. EdJohnston (talk) 17:09, 5 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
Yes well the way I see it, these people can insert anything they want to Kurdish pages and when I tried to add informative data to their pages (Assyrians in Iraq) they first complained of 'Copy right issues' and once I corrected it, they branded it as 'Propaganda' and so I don't see how this is fair... I used valid evidence and as Kurds are also a part of Iraq and the title is 'Assyrians in Iraq' why can't I post information that is related to Assyrians, Kurds and Iraq? You can check for yourself here: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Assyrians_in_Iraq&action=history
If my case is not neutrally dealt with I would like to contact another mod/admin as I honestly believe I'm being targeted here, and no offense to you as I'm not one to judge.
How can I contact another mod/admin? this is really unfair and I'm being targeted, I would like to present my case (with evidence, I have screenshots) to another admin? Thanks.

You can check for yourself here: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Assyrians_in_Iraq&action=history. I feel like I can't add information that are related to me and my region becuase I'm out numbered here and my information is branded as propaganda even though it's relevant and backed up by valid sources and there are people with anti-Kurdish agendas that will stop at nothing but block any valid information that contributes to the articles.
My reason for Editing the cave article and although are valid, were completely ignored by the Mod/Admin dealing with the issue:-
Northern Iraq is a big region and not all of the north is Iraqi Kurdistan, this cave however is in Erbil governance which is found in Iraqi Kurdistan.
Therefore, it's accurate to state that it's found with in Iraqi kurdistan, and using pre-2005 articles are not valid becuase the Kurdistan region was officially recognised by Baghdad in 2005. Also you can see that new sources from 2010 state that it's in "at a site known as the Shanidar cave, in the Kurdistan" (http://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/The-Skeletons-of-Shanidar-Cave.html)
Decline reason:
I am declining your unblock request because it does not address the reason for your block, or because it is inadequate for other reasons. To be unblocked, you must convince the reviewing administrator(s) that
the block is not necessary to prevent damage or disruption to Wikipedia, or
the block is no longer necessary because you
understand what you have been blocked for,
will not continue to cause damage or disruption, and
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
Please note that edit-warring (repeatedly reverting others) is forbidden no matter whether you are right or wrong. Your unblock request does not address this. See also WP:NOTTHEM. Sandstein 18:21, 5 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
the block is no longer necessary because you - I agree with the points under this section, however I still would like to know why I can't add information related to the subject 'Assyrians in Iraq' while others can add information on Kurdish related topics?
Funny, I got the source from your edits from another section on wiki :) such a propaganda machine, yet you have nothing :)
The same page contains sections referenced by a RS ("The Standard Jewish Encyclopedia") about the existence of Jews in Arbil, as well as other not-so-reliable sources such as the one you used for your claim.--Rafytalk13:33, 22 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
