Anarchism
[edit]
Hi UrielAcosta,
I saw your work on articles related to anarchism and wanted to say hello, as I work in the topic area too. If you haven't already, you might want to watch our noticeboard for Wikipedia's coverage of anarchism, which is a great place to ask questions, collaborate, discuss style/structure precedent, and stay informed about content related to anarchism. Take a look for yourself!
And if you're looking for other juicy places to edit, consider expanding a stub, adopting a cleanup category, or participating in one of our current formal discussions.
Feel free to say hi on my talk page and let me know if these links were helpful (or at least interesting). Hope to see you around. czar 16:29, 25 October 2020 (UTC)
Thanks for the information. UrielAcosta (talk) 19:19, 25 October 2020 (UTC)

PBS, Feb 13, 2023: Bedouin police and "violently expelled"
[edit]Hello. I was using terminology by sources and from clip I personally viewed on PBS.
[1] Quote:
In the early 20th century, the Duchovnys made their way to Jaffa, where they opened an inn. Unfortunately, the Duchovnys, along with 6000 fellow Jews, were violently expelled from the state one night in December of 1914 by the local Ottoman government... The clip describes how one day, Bedouin police invaded the Jewish quarter of Jaffa, where the Duchovnys lived and worked, and forced them out of their homes with only bags and meager belongings. They were put aboard the Vincenzo Florio, a steamer headed to Port Said, Egpyt.
At night, the “relatively orderly” deportation turned violent. According to the clipping, men were thrown overboard, possessions were looted, jewelry was ripped off women and parents and children were separated, with the young ones “carried from […] the quayside.”
“There were desperate appeals on every side in the darkness, with heartrending screams. Everyone arrived in Alexandria resourceless,”...
Regards.HistoricReminder (talk) 05:17, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
Okay, given that the specific details in the source make clear that physical violence was used, & not just the implicit threat of violence that "forcibly" might connote, I've changed it to: "In December 1914 his ancestors were among 6,000 Jews who were forcibly removed from their homes by Ottoman police, violently expelled from Jaffa, and deported by ship to Egypt." UrielAcosta (talk) 14:39, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks. It does point to Bedouin police. I believe it's important to add, as so not to blame only the Turks. (Though that is a larger issue). Have a great weekend.HistoricReminder (talk) 21:54, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
Help with after posting on talk page
[edit]BS"D
Hello Mr. Acosta. Thank you for helping me through the proper procedures of Wikipedia so far.
I have a question. I posted onto the talk page on R' Kanievsky's article. What should I do now? Do I wait for a... Hoich-editor? to make an official comment on it? Do I just update the article anyways? What is the right thing for me to do now?
Shibolet Nehrd (talk) 19:10, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
(P.S. If I'm supposed to wait for official comment - please don't go out of your way to look at it. I just want to know what to do for myself.) Shibolet Nehrd (talk) 19:10, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks for letting me know you'd posted on the Chaim Kanievsky talk page. You can read my response to your question there.
- I've also added: "He was notable even among Jewish scholars for annually reading the entire text of many sources of Jewish law, including not only the Babylonian Talmud but also the less commonly studied Jerusalem Talmud" to the first paragraph of the "Rabbinic Career" section, with two sources, one from the National Library of Israel, the other the Yeshiva World article with the complete list quoted in the footnote; while I was at it, & based on the National Library of Israel source, I also added "known as the Gdol HaDor ('the greatest of his generation')" to the introductory paragraph.
- I didn't answer the question of just how long you should wait, because I'm not sure if there's a specific answer. Speaking just for myself, I'd probably wait two or three weeks- unless the article is something that gets a lot of traffic, one that many people will be visiting, and maybe editing, every day (e.g. Russian invasion of Ukraine (2022–present)), in which case a week or even less might be appropriate. To be honest, I almost never look at the talk pages of the articles I edit (the rare exceptions are generally if I'm thinking of adding something that I suspect might have already been chewed over on the talk page), and I don't know how many people actually look at talk pages. In fact, this is a reminder to me that from now on I should probably check the talk pages of articles I'm editing, at least those I'm editing extensively.
- UrielAcosta (talk) 16:18, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
- BS"D
- Thank you for your help and guidance Mr. Acosta. As well, I've read the things you wrote, and I feel I have learnt a lot about both Wikipedia and general clear-mindedness from them. I appreciate your time spent to help me so much.

Brother Resistance
[edit]Why did you remove Brother Resistance’s childrens name from his Wiki page? 74.101.28.16 (talk) 05:31, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
- Looking back at the record of the edit (which was over 2 years ago) I see that I removed non-notable people who were not otherwise mentioned and I specifically cited MOS:BIO's "Out-of-date material" section (with a highlighted link, as there is here, so anybody wondering why I deleted it could read the guidelines and not have to ask me); I could also have cited WP:SURVIVEDBY (again, you can click on the link to read the guidelines) UrielAcosta (talk) 17:36, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
Ba alawiya
[edit]you asked me to discuss this article. i edited this as a part of our uni project and i used all the information from the sources that are cited there. if there is a problem then please help me because i have deadlines. Ayan Asif KHan (talk) 14:10, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
- Editing Wikipedia must be done for the sake of improving Wikipedia as an encyclopedia, and not for any other reasons (please read WP:NOT HERE & WP:NOT for more about this), and no changes for other motives are allowed. Invoking your deadline for a class you are taking as a reason why certain changes should be made to an article, or changes should be made on a certain schedule, is therefore unacceptable. Naturally, as a new user you haven't yet learned many important Wikipedia rules; neither do most Wikipedia editors with only 12 edits - I certainly didn't, and therefore I made mistakes which other editors had to correct while I learned the protocols. This is how new editors learn, and their participation is encouraged even while they inevitably make mistakes.
- Adding ~35,000 characters to an article as an editor's fifth edit ever, and first edit to an actual article, would almost certainly be wildly over-ambitious, even if it didn't include non-neutral content & commentary on a potentially contentious subject (religion). I suggest you start out with shorter & strictly factual edits (supported by reliable sources, of course) to uncontentious subjects.
- Meanwhile, since you have specifically stated that your concern in editing this article was largely done for a motive in your own life not directly related to improving Wikipedia as an encyclopedia, you should not edit the article at all, at least not until you have far more experience and understanding of Wikipedia's protocols (click on highlighted terms above for more information).

Need input.
[edit]In the List of converts to Hinduism from Islam article, I removed 4 as they did not had the WP:RS and WP:OR sources. First one: Nargis, in her article I cant see any info regarding her conversion to hinduism in fact opposite "she expressed her wish to be buried following the Islamic rites, Sunil and Sanjay eventually offering the Islamic funeral prayer" in the Personal section.
Another is Khusro Khan, his Religion section explicity states that "Barani's narrative is unreliable, and contradicted by more reliable sources. Khusrau Khan wished to be seen as a normal Muslim monarch, and had the khutba in the mosques read in his name." Hence including him on the list severely violates WP:NPOV and WP:RS and WP:Fringe.
Another case is of two brothers, Harihara I and Bukka Raya I, both articles explicity state that their early life is "unknown and most accounts are based on various speculative theories" the same paragraph that conjecture their religion. So we need stronger and more WP:Reliable sources to make them in the list.
Some are forcefully inserting these info thus violating Wikipedia core policies, can you inspect it. 182.183.11.100 (talk) 20:27, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
Hello, UrielAcosta
Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username FuzzyMagma, and I thank you for your contributions.
I wanted to let you know, however, that I’ve proposed an article that you started, Don Crichton, for deletion because it's a biography of a living person that lacks references. To prevent the deletion, please add a reference to the article. You may remove the deletion tag yourself once the article has at least one reliable source.
If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|FuzzyMagma}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!
(Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

Invitation to join New pages patrol
[edit]
Hello UrielAcosta!
- The New Pages Patrol is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles needing review. We could use a few extra hands to help.
- We think that someone with your activity and experience is very likely to meet the guidelines for granting.
- Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time, but it requires a strong understanding of Wikipedia’s CSD policy and notability guidelines.
- Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision, and feel free to post on the project talk page with questions.
- If patrolling new pages is something you'd be willing to help out with, please consider applying here.
Thank you for your consideration. We hope to see you around!

Al-Duraji
[edit]Thanks for attempting the cleanup on Al-Duraji. Now that the problematic editor has disclosed that they're the one that started the article in the first place, I'm taking a closer look at it and not finding much in the way of good sourcing (even the Arabic sources, which I'm slowly working through on Google Translate). I reached out to the editor in question to see if they're willing to contribute positively, because I have a feeling that if their attitude changes, the article can be brought up to at least minimal Wikipedia standards. If not, I'm not sure I have the resources to get it there, and it might even qualify for AfD, as the whole thing was written by mostly one person. Fred Zepelin (talk) 02:11, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

Alavi Bohras
[edit]Hello Dear, Hope you would find this in the best of your health.
I have created the page "Alavi Bohras" and am related to the office of the Head of this community. While creating or editing I had never thought of excessive or biased matter. As an editor and well-versed person I think the file "say" is in your hands. I can only request you. No where on the internet you would find any Textual material for this community. Only their website www.alavibohra.org has it and it does contains the cross references of Wikipedia.
What has been written-published on this page is a original factual matter and not for any promotional purpose. Lot many research works are going on Alavi Bohras. I humbly request you to restore the edited matter. If not then its your kind decision for the betterment to come. NoorAlavi (talk) 13:36, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

Invitation to participate in a research
[edit]Hello,
The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.
You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.
The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .
Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.
Kind Regards,
BGerdemann (WMF) (talk) 19:29, 23 October 2024 (UTC)
Dear UrielAcosta,
Thank you so much for edited articles History of the Jews in Buynaksk and History of the Jews in Derbent. As always, you did an excellent job!
There is left one city in Dagestan were used to live Jews, it is Makhachkala. I wrote an article History of the Jews in Makhachkala.
I would like to ask you to kindly agree to edit History of the Jews in Makhachkala as well.
It is last article about the history of the Jews in Dagestan. There are three sub articles of the main one – Judaism in Dagestan, that you previously edited. I just don’t know if you completed it.
Again, thank you for all your help!
P.S. Unfortunately, Islamic antisemite multiple times tried to harm this article, but it was restored.
