Meir Ettinger

Hey, I’d like to ask you if you could please take a look at the Meir Ettinger page. I saw you also edited there a bit. There were recently two IP edits that I think make no sense. I would revert them myself, but I am still not EC and am still dealing with fallout over this whenever I make even the mildest contribution protecting Israel-related pages from IP vandals. Slomo666 (talk) 21:11, 5 October 2025 (UTC)
:Hi Slomo666, thank you for asking. I have taken a look at the edits. The first one was very obvious, because it was not confirmed by the source. However, this text: "Ettinger has called for the demolition of what he and his associates deem ”secular” state of Israel and State of Palestine" versus "Ettinger has called for the demolition of the secular state of Israel and state of Palestine" - I don't know enough about this to be able to judge that edit. Friendly, Lova Falk (talk) 07:44, 6 October 2025 (UTC)
::True the latter edit is actually not that bad, but still a bit bold for an IP editor Slomo666 (talk) 09:06, 6 October 2025 (UTC)

Emotionally focused therapy

Hello! Our article about Emotionally focused therapy ↗ is in need of some TLC. Would you be so kind to take a look? Polygnotus (talk) 21:28, 18 October 2025 (UTC)
:I am sorry Polygnotus, but as a psychologist my main focus has always been assessment of children and adolescents, and not therapy. Furthermore, I stopped working eight years ago, and I am out of touch with psychology. I have taken a look, but I would need to dig down deeply into this, and I don't feel motivated to do so. Friendly, Lova Falk (talk) 06:53, 19 October 2025 (UTC)

Looking at your recent contribs, due to our open model Wikipedia will always be a battleground for such topics. It is best to avoid that stuff. Polygnotus (talk) 21:29, 18 October 2025 (UTC)
:I feel for ip-editors who comment in good faith on the Talk page, only to see their comments either ignored or immediately deleted. I try to answer them, and it happens that I revert a delete. But in this case, deleting was correct. Lova Falk (talk) 06:53, 19 October 2025 (UTC)
::The further you get away from anything even remotely related to I/P and Trump, the more fun Wikipedia is. I think Wikipedians should form groups of people who outsource on-wiki disputes to eachother. Polygnotus (talk) 08:26, 19 October 2025 (UTC)
:::Polygnotus I find the most interesting parts of Wikipedia to be those where it is not an encyclopedia but serves as a living document of contemporary history. And it is so good that we all have our favourite parts, that makes for a very rich collective project! Lova Falk (talk) 08:45, 19 October 2025 (UTC)
::::Just like real life, the most interesting parts of Wikipedia are often not the most fun. {{smiley}} Polygnotus (talk) 08:49, 19 October 2025 (UTC)
::::: Polygnotus, actually, honestly, for me it can be. I remember 13 June when Israel had bombed Iran. Without editing Wikipedia, I would have been distressed, but instead I worked best as I could on the article about those strikes, reading online outlets and thinking, is there something in here that I can add to the article. I remember this as a really good Wikipedia day. Lova Falk (talk) 08:58, 19 October 2025 (UTC)
:::The issue is that people like me no longer donate to Wikipedia BECAUSE there is so much WP:GAME. And it is very obvious that just as there was an era of young music fans engaging in passionate edit wars to the point of vandalism; there is now an era of well-meaning socialism that is polluting the encyclopaedic quality of any pages that have a political lean. That is really disappointing. The lede on the page about Hamas cannot be described as well written and edited. It is very much Hamas propaganda. A number of long term editors were banned about a year ago when their strategies were carefully documented; but they seem to have polluted the well very successfully over three decades with many young people believing that Pappe, Finkelstein and Chomsky are subject experts and anyone who contradicts their claims is Hasbara. That’s not the case. I wish well meaning young people would read important background information like the Explanatory Memorandum (US Government Exhibit 003-0085 3:04-CR-240-G in U.S. v Holy Land Foundation, et al.) and documentation which shows the amount of hostility these terrorist organisations have toward westerners; but they don’t. So they see them as allies, and they get happy clappy about the red/green alliance; making light of communism, and having no idea how that alliance goes for the Marxists. Is there a page on Dalia Ziada? Maybe if they read her book they would understand that this is not some empathy kitten patting parade. This is existential, and they keep shooting own goals. ~2025-38877-20 ↗ (talk) 08:00, 7 December 2025 (UTC)
::::Hi! I don't know why you write this to me. I don't know anything about the banned long term editors, I haven't worked with the lead of Hamas ↗, I just try to do my part in making sure that good information is available for those who can access the English Wikipedia. Presently, I have worked with articles concerning refugees in Central Africa. Lova Falk (talk) 08:09, 7 December 2025 (UTC)

Extended Protection Edit Requests

Hello Lova,

Thank you for the ECP edit at Naduvazhi ↗. I have made ECP requests at a few other pages, all of them with slight changes to the grammar, line spacing, hyperlinking, formatting and neutrality. Please have a look, if possible. Thank you very much, Lova. Taliparamba (talk) 08:42, 22 October 2025 (UTC)

Recent Edit

Recent edit at Ezhava ↗ , Hi Lova, I have moved the recent addition into the lead to the pre existing subsection "variations" , Earlier similar discussions seemed to be moved to that subsect as majority of the discussions were about the classifications and disputes in the lead, which seemed to be mentioned already in the article. The lead was looking very much povish. Miamiller777 (talk) 11:45, 22 October 2025 (UTC)

Edit requests on WP:GS/CASTE ↗ topics

Hi there, I see that you approved an edit request on Talk:Jenmi ↗. One of the reasons that this topic-area is ECR is that many contributions to it look superficially like good changes, because to people who aren't "in the know" they appear to be well-sourced, but they're actually sourced to really dubious old publications. There's some information about this at WP:RAJ ↗. Thanks for the help! -- asilvering (talk) 00:18, 24 October 2025 (UTC)

Regarding my edits that were undid

Since you undid my edits on Ukrainian refugee crisis ↗, you removed the links in the see also section because they were unrelated. But I saw on other pages related to refugee crises like Vietnamese boat people ↗ has a link to Afghan refugees ↗ in the See also section, and Venezuelan refugee crisis ↗ has a link to Refugees of the Syrian Civil War ↗ in the See also section. I have a couple questions: Why do you want the See also section to be related to Ukraine and why did you still keep Evacuations during the 2023 Israel–Hamas war ↗ in the See also section when it's not related to Ukraine? DiscoveringMysteries03 (talk) 21:36, 11 November 2025 (UTC)
:Hi DiscoveringMysteries03! Thank you for your message. See also links should be relevant to the article, and not a list of possible things you can associate with. There are so many refugee crises in the world; we cannot in every article about one particular refugee crisis have See also links to every other refugee crisis we can think of. The reason I kept Evacuations during the 2023 Israel–Hamas war ↗ is because I checked that article and it was written: "Some of the apartments that were donated to evacuated civilians had been initially earmarked for Ukrainian refugees fleeing the Russian invasion of Ukraine, but were later repurposed.[2]" So there was a connection with Ukraine and therefore I kept it. But maybe the connection is not strong enough. About See also links I did not remove in other articles, I guess simply that I overlooked the Afghan refugees in the Vietnamese boat people, but then I got tired of it and did something else. Lova Falk (talk) 07:46, 12 November 2025 (UTC)
:But if you feel very strongly about this, please feel free to put them back in, I won't revert it again. Lova Falk (talk) 07:48, 12 November 2025 (UTC)

Proposed deletion ↗ of :Refugees of Uganda ↗

left|link=|alt=Notice|48px| ↗

The article :Refugees of Uganda ↗ has been proposed for deletion ↗ because of the following concern:
<blockquote>'''This "article" was previously an incorrect redirect to Refugees in Uganda ↗, leading to an article describing the refugees that come '''to''' Uganda. However, Wikipedia articles called "Refugees of ..." describe the refugees that come '''from''' a certain country. We do not have article describing refugees from Uganda. Therefore this should be deleted. {{small|I removed the redirect only to find that the article still was there - my mistake.}}'''</blockquote>

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary ↗ or on the article's talk page ↗.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process ↗, but other deletion process ↗es exist. In particular, articles for deletion ↗ allows discussion to reach consensus ↗ for deletion based on established criteria ↗.

If the proposed deletion has already been carried out, you may request undeletion ↗ of the article at any time.

This is an automated notification. Please refer to the page's history ↗ for further information. DatBot (talk) 00:31, 26 December 2025 (UTC)

Repeated image removal by multi-account user

Hi, on the page 'Abzakhs ↗', a user (actually 2 different accounts with same person, <bdi>Jaxfob</bdi> and <bdi>~2025-42243-97</bdi> ↗) is constantly deleting an image ↗ from the infobox. The opposing account is repeatedly removing the image of ''tamga'' ↗'s from the infobox, and using multiple accounts, and justifying the deletions by claiming 'insufficient resources'. This claim is incorrect, as the Wikimedia file page of the image already contains clear and verifiable citations yet the removals continue despite this being clearly documented. Also these accounts has no editing history, he is just here for deleting the image.

I am not sure who to contact so if this is not the right place, could you please direct me to a different user that could resolve the issue? Thanks. Liptink0 (talk) 15:20, 27 December 2025 (UTC)
:Hi Liptink0! The first thing you can do is to invite the editor to discuss this with you on the talk page. <bdi>Jaxfob</bdi> wrote a long edit summary and thus doesn't seem to be someone who aims to vandalise the article - instead they disagree with you. You can ping other editors who have worked with Abzakhs ↗ to participate in the discussion. Friendly, 17:53, 27 December 2025 (UTC)Lova Falk (talk)
::We have discussed ↗ the issue in Turkish Wikipedia. He has lesser experience in history and trying to remove the image just because he can't properly understand the sources and also said if I'm giving a historical info, I must indicate this. However I already indicated in my recent changes with writing 'historical...'. Also he still didn't answer back my latest reply, it's been 10 days, but still removing the image. First and second sources are for the images of symbols, third and fourth one are for the names of the families that were historically aristocrat. Also I know the other editors that worked in this page and they are unavaliable in Wikipedia unfortunately. Thanks. Liptink0 (talk) 23:42, 27 December 2025 (UTC)

Your edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Giorgia_Meloni&diff=prev&oldid=1335835494 ↗

Hi, can you remove this part? It needs a consensus. The detention centre in Gjadër has been criticised by politicians and human rights observers for its lack of transparency, prison-like conditions, and serious risks to detainees’ mental health, including reports of frequent self-harm, suicide attempts, and inadequate access to legal and medical safeguards. In any case, you need to correct " detainees’ ", according to MOS:CURLY ↗. ~2026-68053-7 ↗ (talk) 15:20, 31 January 2026 (UTC)
:Hi! The fact that the centres have been criticised for these things is confirmed by the source. I don't understand at all what you mean by according to MOS:CURLY ↗ (''"Use "straight" quotation marks, not “curly” ones" ?'') The word detainees is used four times in the source as a description of the asylum seekers who "are not allowed to leave the grounds", as the source says. When I check the meaning of the word detainee, I find: "a person who has been officially ordered to stay in a prison or similar place, especially for political reasons". That is just what they are.

Refugee articles

Hello! I was hoping to create some articles on refugees from and in various countries but was surprised to see there's very little already written here on the Wiki. As part of that, there doesn't seem to be any sort of standard for creating them. What is written varies drastically both in style and quality, with some just being lazily shoved into a paragraph or two on much broader articles on asylum or immigration law (for example, there shockingly exists no article on refugees in the United States). Since you've recently done some great work on refugee related articles I figured I would ask you about the best template for each nation; I'm currently thinking of three articles for each nation, one for refugees in said country, one for refugees from said country, and one final article pertaining to the more legal aspects like asylum. Obviously not all of these will be possible for each country (especially the last) as there's always small territories and the like but I thought this might be the best way to cover as much as possible. Do you have any thoughts or recommendations? Pladica (talk) 06:52, 3 May 2026 (UTC)
:Hi Pladica, such a nice message to start my Wikipedia day with! Yes, I have worked a lot with refugee related articles, and I have felt quite lonely - sometimes many days went by before other editors changed something I had written. However, I have never created refugee related articles but always worked from existing articles. I don't have any template either, but if I were you, I would find one or two refugee related articles that I think are the best and use that structure to start with. Personally I am quite "fond" of Refugees of Sudan ↗ and Refugees in Uganda ↗, however, now that I am revisiting these articles I immediately see things that can be improved.
:I agree with you that it is truly shocking that no article exists on refugees in the United States. I know that there is some very interesting history, for instance before WWII with waiting lists for German Jews, and once the war started, fleeing to the US became almost impossible. So I am very much looking forward to your articles! Lova Falk (talk) 08:42, 3 May 2026 (UTC)
:PS Pladica, now that you got me thinking, I wonder if the article Refugees of Sudan would need to be expanded to "Sudanese refugees and internally displaced persons" because a lot that is written about the history and the reasons for fleeing are similar for refugees and for internally displaced people. As I understand, it is not uncommon for people in Sudan to first become internally displaced, then there is unrest where they are, so they flee to another country, say South-Sudan, then a war breaks out in South-Sudan, and they flee back to Sudan, but still displaced, not living in the same area as they originally came from. But I guess this issue is not relevant for Refugees of US. Lova Falk (talk) 09:39, 3 May 2026 (UTC)
::Had not even considered IDPs, perhaps even scarcer in terms of coverage. And yes, they overlap one another quite often which certainly makes things more tricky. Will for now keep them closely in mind, hopefully expand on them too when and if I can. Pladica (talk) 03:25, 7 May 2026 (UTC)

Hey!

I saw you working on the article i have been trying to become a GA, Rajneesh movement ↗. Your manual citations seem to be broken in some way, like the one you did called Jag vill ha en egen måne: boken om Ted Gärdestad. Just letting you know. Ilov3gam3z (talk) 11:27, 19 May 2026 (UTC)
:Ilov3gam3z, I just fixed that one! But I see that you have seen my correction. About the 80 countries, I added this mainly because there was this sentence: "In 2003, sociologist Stephen Hunt wrote in Alternative Religions that "the movement has declined since 1985, and some would argue it is now, for all intents and purposes, defunct."" Just to show that it has not been wiped away from the world completely. Lova Falk (talk) 11:34, 19 May 2026 (UTC)
::Honestly, I feel like it's not very defunct and it should simply state that he wrote it has declined. The sheer amount of information online coupled with many active locations and a website seems to show otherwise. Ilov3gam3z (talk) 11:36, 19 May 2026 (UTC)
:::I'm going to change that rq. Ilov3gam3z (talk) 11:38, 19 May 2026 (UTC)
::::Actually, after closer examination of the quote it says 'some' would say it is defunct and removing the latter half feels a bit quote-out-of-context to me. BTW why isnt there a WP:QUOTECONTEXT or something like that, i cant find it. Ilov3gam3z (talk) 11:41, 19 May 2026 (UTC)
:::::Ilov3gam3z, I don't have access to that source, so I don't know the latter half of the quote. But even without WP:QUOTECONTEXT, if you feel the quote is out of context, and also if this is just one person's opinion, you are of course free to edit so the article becomes more correct. Lova Falk (talk) 16:26, 19 May 2026 (UTC)
::::::Ilov3gam3z, I see that you reported the article to Copyright problems. I am very suspicious of the source though. The name: ''International sex guide Pune.'' The text that starts with ''AbstractInternational Journal of Medicine and Public Health,'' and ''Objective: This study was conducted to analyze a model of self-medication in rural areas of Pune.'' and continues: ''Self-medication with antibiotics is alarming as they are responsible for drug use and severe ADR and therefore should be taken only under supervision. that must be taken for self-medication.

:::::::Yeah I did a brief skim of the article and I think im going to retract the copyvio. Ilov3gam3z (talk) 11:17, 20 May 2026 (UTC)
::::::::Sounds like a good idea. Lova Falk (talk) 11:25, 20 May 2026 (UTC)
:::::::::Ilov3gam3z, in the section above "Responding to listed articles", it clearly says: "Only administrators, copyright clerks, and VRT agents should remove <nowiki>{{copyvio}}</nowiki> tags and close listings." Since you are neither of them, you cannot do anything more. About your {{tq|oh no! i have to report this right away!}} - I have been there done that, and found out that this was never the case. I made a rule for myself to step back when my feelings are stirred, in whichever way, and wait. Now I don't say I always succeed in following my rule, but it's a good rule!

::::::::::I try not to lean on it as it can be subjective and abused, but I think this clearly falls under WP:IAR ↗, as keeping it listed there simply increases the copyvio backlog as it can be very easily proven that the copyvio investigation is unwarranted.

:::::::::::Whoops! I completely misinterpreted what you said. Need some extra time to wake up. Sorry. Ilov3gam3z (talk) 13:56, 20 May 2026 (UTC)
::::::::::::Ilov3gam3z, when I did an impulsive report to a noticeboard, I deleted it the next day, only to be asked to undo my deletion, because it messed up things. So my advice is still, just let it be. About WP:IAR ↗, please also read User:Larry Sanger/Nine Theses#5. Repeal “Ignore all rules.” Now IAR has not been repealed. Still, better to not use it at all.

Great pet peeve

Thanks for being equally annoyed as me of the "Nearly 70% deaths are women and children" notion. This is an unnecessary lumping together of people perceived as "other" (than men) or weaker (than men). That is not a static perception in every part of society, and it shouldn't be a basis of understanding human groupings. {{=)}} Paracel63 (talk) 10:34, 3 July 2026 (UTC)
:Oh thank you Paracel63, so nice to read! It drives me insane! It happened that I spent a lot of time finding out how many are children and how many are women, only to see my edit erased half a year later with "70% women and children" - because there are now more recent numbers that once again lump together women and children again... 😫 But so nice not to be the only one who feels this way.

::(byter till svenska, eftersom du varit aktiv även på svwp) Ja, sammanklumpande av kvinnor och barn blir förminskande av kvinnor. Det kan därför ses som anti-feministiskt och som ett onödigt sammankopplande av kvinnor med deras traditionella roll som "barnskötare". Att "barn" är en i många sammanhang problematisk kategori kan vi ta en annan gång. {{=)}} Paracel63 (talk) 13:08, 3 July 2026 (UTC)
:::Stämmer! Jag ser nu att du är otroligt aktiv där. Och så många olika artiklar. Fantastiskt! Men apropå "kvinnor och barn" blir det också ett sätt att säga att män är aktiva och erövrare, medan kvinnor och barn är passiva, offer. I Humanitarian impact of the Sudanese civil war (2023–present)#Impact on civilians ↗ lade jag in en section för men. Det var väldigt svårt att hitta någon information om det, men det jag hittade kom med. Lova Falk (talk) 13:25, 3 July 2026 (UTC)
