Hello, I'm DMacks. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". New editors often misunderstand what we mean by minor. Doug Weller talk 10:41, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

Discretionary sanctions alert

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

There are similar sanctions in place for articles about living or recently deceased persons. Ian.thomson (talk) 21:39, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to use talk pages for inappropriate discussion, as you did at Talk:China, you may be blocked from editing. CaradhrasAiguo (leave language) 16:40, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

Heresy in Orthodox Judaism

Hi Dr. Kriger, thanks you for all your great help. Would you care to improve the Heresy in Orthodox Judaism article, it needs fixing up. Please bear in mind that we already have an article named Heresy in Judaism, and also to include the subjects included in Category:Heresy in Judaism and Category:Heresy in Orthodox Judaism. Thank you so much! IZAK (talk) 21:05, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

Please remember to assume good faith when dealing with other editors, which you did not do on The Exodus. Thank you. Doug Weller talk 17:52, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, as you did at The Exodus, you may be blocked from editing. Doug Weller talk 17:53, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

If anyone claims

• "God exists and created all things".
• "Jesus saved me and the Bible is his inspired word".
• "The Torah, both Written and Oral, as literally revealed by God on Mount Sinai and faithfully transmitted ever since"'
• "Joseph Smith is a true prophet, and translated the Book of Mormon from golden plates with divine assistance".

Those are religions, not science or pseudoscience. Wikipedia will never say that those claims are false, and Wikipedia will never say that those claims are true. We describe them as accurately as possible, and we describe who holds those beliefs. However, the following claims are both religion and pseudoscience:

• "God reliably heals people of HIV. You have received his healing and you can stop taking your medications".
• "What you read in the Torah is historical fact, literally happened exactly as described, all of the scientists who say otherwise are wrong and quite possibly antisemitic".
• "Joseph Smith says that in the pre-Columbian Americas there were horses, elephants, and steel swords that rusted, so those are historical facts and all of the scientists who say otherwise are wrong."
• "The earth is less than 10,000 years old, and humans and dinosaurs coexisted."

The above are all religious pseudoscience because, although motivated by religion, they make claims that purport to be factual and supported by science but are not. --Guy Macon (talk) 13:29, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

Removal of sourced content at Lipa Schmeltzer with a misleading edit summary

You said that the link didn't work so you thought it might be false. But there wasn't just one link but two, so your edit summary was misleading. More so as both links work fine. If a source is available offline, ie a newspaper which also has paper copies, then it is still WP:VERIFIABLE. Often a link can be found if you search by the title of the article, or put the link in the WayBack Machine. Which is why, if you find an actual dead link, we ask editors to tag it with {{deadlink}}. Please be more careful in the future. Thanks. Doug Weller talk 08:47, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

Stating as fact something that was only alleged

Please stop adding unreferenced or poorly referenced biographical content, especially if controversial, to articles or any other Wikipedia page, as you did at Shomrim (neighborhood watch group) ‎. Content of this nature could be regarded as defamatory and is in violation of Wikipedia policy. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. This one is particularly egregious. The Baltimore Sun article clearly says that the judge noted that the boy was frightened (he was 15 and confronted by white adults, of course he was scare), and there's no evidence that the 15 year old boy tried to hit him. We can't state allegations as fact, which is why I didn't add the racist comment the ex-soldier allegedly said. Not only that, the incident was seriously misrepresented in the article.

Storer College

I don't understand why you deleted the word white. Do you think it's not relevant? Reveals my prejudice? I can find a source commenting on the white administration- Black student body problem if you feel it's necessary. deisenbe (talk) 18:05, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
