Caution, withdrawn

{{caution|Serious concerns have been raised regarding your recent editing activity. Specifically, You appear to be editing articles with the intent of advancing a specific point of view ↗ or agenda ↗. Also some of your edits appear to have introduced claims of fact that were not supported by reliable independent secondary sources as defined by the community ↗. This is contrary to our community policies and guidelines and is considered disruptive ↗. If it continues, you may be subject to editing restrictions or the loss of editing privileges. This notice should be understood as a '''Formal Caution'''. Thank you for your contributions to the project. -Ad Orientem (talk) 01:32, 5 May 2023 (UTC)}}

Ad Orientem, A welcome message and a caution all at once... Some type of welcome I guess. At least it was a caution and not a warning. But given that a caution is meant to influence user behavior, your message is too vague to achieve that at all. If you are going to issue someone a speeding ticket, you need to specify which street they were speeding on, and at what time. You have obviously not done so.

I have only made 5 edits to one Wikipedia article, namely Tiberias and added two sources. Here is the edit history https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tiberias&action=history ↗. In those edits I only changed the date 20AD to 18-20AD, supported by sources.
If you think my sources are not reliable, or my changing of the date was improper, please <i>revert the change immediately</i>. I agree not to object. Will you revert that change? No you will not, because the source from the Oxford Handbook of Names says 18AD. Was that good edit? It was excellent. You know it was. Else please <i>revert it right now</i>, no questions asked. So unless you revert that edit, or say which of those two sources were not reliable, it would be fair and reasonable for you to withdraw the caution, given that I have not been informed of the basis for it.

Let me assure you that I am a very careful person in real life, and I never say anything unless I am certain that I have the facts on my side. I only made that edit because I know the topic very well.
In general, I think about whatever I may say or type beforehand. There is <i>need to tell me</i> to be reliable because I always act properly. And I only speak about topics that I know well.

But if you want me to stop editing Wikipedia, just say so and I will go away. My salary as a user here is the same as your salary as an administrator, nothing. But I do appreciate the efforts of admins who work many hours for free.

I think what happened is that you are a busy administrator, and you were prompted by a user and issued a caution in somewhat of a hurry. You were prompted by a user because I have typed on two somewhat controversial talk pages. But I have not edited those pages exactly because they are controversial. I have questioned the validity of some sources there, but there is no policy about asking if a source is reliable or not. Is there? As to what I may want to do in the future, I hope no one claims to be a mind reader and guess my intentions.

So please either specify which of the two sources I added to the Tiberias page were not reliable, and if so revert them immediately, or withdraw this caution- That would be the fair and rational thing to do. Thanks. Yesterday, all my dreams... (talk) 00:09, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

:After looking again at your contribs and the page history, I see that you are correct. I conflated you with another editor whose activity I was looking at simultaneously and apologize for the error. Accordingly, I withdraw the caution, which you are free to remove from your talk page if you wish. -Ad Orientem (talk) 11:52, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

::Thank you, and no hard feelings. Yesterday, all my dreams... (talk) 16:04, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
