File permission problem with File:Carthay Center Elementary School Kindergarten Playground from School Garden.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Carthay Center Elementary School Kindergarten Playground from School Garden.jpg, which you've attributed to http://ourlocalschool.wordpress.com/2013/04/08/dear-neighborhood-parents/. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 22:27, 28 September 2013 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics

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.

I don't understand why the "Progressive Zionism" links to "Reform Zionism", or why the "Reform Zionism" article claims Reform Zionism is "also known as Progressive Zionism." It's true that "Reform Judaism" is also known as "Progressive Zionism" but that does not mean "Reform Zionism" is also known as "Progressive Zionism." There is no citation for this claim, and I can't find any mention of "Progressive Zionism" in any of the cited sources. I find mention of "progressive religion" and "progressive Judaism" but not "Progressive Zionism." There is a dead link in the external resources that supposedly goes to an organization called "Progressive Religious Zionists UK" but that would be "Progressive Religious Zionism," not "Progressive Zionism."

Progressive Zionism is a term used by many organizations (virtually all secular) and I started creating a more accurate article for this, but it was deleted. Progressive Zionism is a form of left-wing Zionism, and is a term used by many organizations both in the US and globally. If you google "Progressive Zionism" you will find many sources and virtually none of them relate to Reform Zionism. The closest resemblance is Labor Zionism (nor Reform Zionism), but there are many Progressive Zionists who do not necessarily identify as Labor Zionist. Tysonsahib (talk) 05:58, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
