Speedy deletion nomination of Unit 121 (Hezbollah)
[edit]
Thank you for your interest in the Arab–Israeli conflict. Due to past disruption, a special set of rules apply to anyone editing in this topic area. Specifically, only extended confirmed editors are allowed to make direct edits and page creations to this topic area. Since you currently do not meet the requirements to contribute to this topic area, the page you created has been nominated for speedy deletion under G5.
If you think this page does not fall under the general sanctions described, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Additionally you may wish to read about the topic restrictions here. * Pppery * it has begun... 05:53, 28 November 2024 (UTC)
Introduction to contentious topics
[edit]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 an expanded level of powers and discretion 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 practices;
- 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.

Notice of noticeboard discussion
[edit]
There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is How_do_we_handle_Israel_Palestine_new_articles_created_by_non_ECP_editors_nowadays%3F. Thank you. Yamla (talk) 19:12, 23 January 2025 (UTC)
Hussein al-Khalil and Unit 900
[edit]Hello Bassel, I was able to revive both of these articles after the admins deleted them because you are not an extended confirmed user (made at least 500 edits) which I know kteer sa2eeleh. I made a couple of amendments to them but found no real issues with them my self. You can continue adding anymore info if you'd like. If this happens again you can ask me for help in my talk page. Prodrummer619 (talk) 08:49, 25 January 2025 (UTC)
- I want to be very clear, you can not edit those articles at this time. Prodrummer619 is mistaken. You may not edit in that subject area until you have extended-confirmed status. --Yamla (talk) 12:06, 25 January 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you for help Habibi, i appreciate it BasselHarfouch (talk) 09:14, 26 January 2025 (UTC)

If you believe this block is unjustified, please read the guide to appealing blocks (specifically this section) before appealing. Place the following on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Please copy my appeal to the [[WP:AE|arbitration enforcement noticeboard]] or [[WP:AN|administrators' noticeboard]]. Your reason here OR place the reason below this template. ~~~~}}. If you intend to appeal on the arbitration enforcement noticeboard, I suggest you use the arbitration enforcement appeals template on your talk page so it can be copied over easily. You may also appeal directly to me (by email), before or instead of appealing on your talk page.
Reminder to administrators: In May 2014, ArbCom adopted the following procedure instructing administrators regarding Arbitration Enforcement blocks: "No administrator may modify a sanction placed by another administrator without: (1) the explicit prior affirmative consent of the enforcing administrator; or (2) prior affirmative agreement for the modification at (a) AE or (b) AN or (c) ARCA (see "Important notes"). Administrators modifying sanctions out of process may at the discretion of the committee be desysopped."
You must stop editing around subjects related to the Arab-Israeli war, even once this block expires. You've been warned repeatedly about this. Please consider this short block your final warning. --Yamla (talk) 11:22, 26 January 2025 (UTC)
Ali Mohamed Kharroubi moved to draftspace
[edit]Thanks for your contributions to Ali Mohamed Kharroubi. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.
Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit for review" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Dclemens1971 (talk) 16:30, 31 January 2025 (UTC)

[edit]Thanks for your contributions to Hanin Sayyed. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability, it is promotional and reads like an advertisement and Add inline citations please.

2025 Beirut attack on UN convoy
[edit]I think that the article you made should be renamed to 2025 Beirut riots. The attack on the convoy was just a part of it and the article could then be expanded to mention other incidents. What do you think? Prodrummer619 (talk) 09:04, 16 February 2025 (UTC)
- I think the 2025 Beirut attack on the UN convoy is notable since UN soldiers were injured and it adds up to the 2022 incident. Having said that, I agree that also the Hezbollah riots are notable. Maybe we should have an article for each one? Thank you for contacting me. BasselHarfouch (talk) 09:20, 16 February 2025 (UTC)
- @BasselHarfouch The Lebanese Army just said that they endured 23 injuries themselves from the riots (X). I don't think the UN attack is notable on its own now. So I think it should be changed to 2025 Beirut riots. Should I proceed with the change? Prodrummer619 (talk) 15:00, 16 February 2025 (UTC)
- Ok, i can see your point, these Hezbollah riots have extended longer than just the one single attack on the UN convoy, BasselHarfouch (talk) 08:08, 17 February 2025 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 27
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Unit 121, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Absentia. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, --DPL bot (talk) 19:53, 27 March 2025 (UTC)

AI tags in URLs
[edit]Hey, I've noticed that many of the URLs in citations that you added end in "?utm_source=chatgpt.com", which is usually appended to links that ChatGPT generates. So my question is: do you use ChatGPT to search for sources? Laura240406 (talk) 15:24, 5 May 2025 (UTC)
- Hey,
- Yes, i was looking for information and used the Chatgpt to find inforamtion, i checked the links & information manually, before using the links. Thanks for contacting me. BasselHarfouch (talk) 15:55, 5 May 2025 (UTC)

Fact is you simply ignore the fact, you are mostly mistaken most of the time and just keep pushing you own opinion, if not to say, agenda
doesn't sound too civil 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 07:20, 5 June 2025 (UTC)- It is stating facts, nothimg more. BasselHarfouch (talk) 07:46, 5 June 2025 (UTC)

- I suggest you read his comments again, he is constantly using and i quote: "in my view", "i". "My point", "My concern", "In my opinion".
- All i quoted, are words and phrases @Paprikaiser used on the Talk page, so i did nothing wrong. BasselHarfouch (talk) 08:03, 5 June 2025 (UTC)

Deletion discussion about 2025 Wadi Zibqin explosion
[edit]Hello BasselHarfouch, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.
While your contributions are appreciated, I wanted to let you know that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, 2025 Wadi Zibqin explosion, should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2025 Wadi Zibqin explosion.
Deletion discussions usually run for seven days and are not votes. Our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. The most common issue in these discussions is notability, but it's not the only aspect that may be discussed; read the nomination and any other comments carefully before you contribute to the discussion. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.
If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|TheLongTone}}. And don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!
