Your submission at Articles for creation: Alayoubi family (July 20)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Cerebellum was:

Thank you for your submission, but the subject of this article already exists in Wikipedia. You can find it and improve it at Ayyubid dynasty instead.

The comment the reviewer left was:

@Bkissin: Thank you for the ping. We already have the article Ayyubid dynasty about Saladin's family. I have no idea if the modern people listed here named al-Ayoubi are really related to Saladin, and the sources provided don't mention such a connection. If there is one, presumably it could be discussed at Ayyubid dynasty#Remants of the dynasty.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Alayoubi family and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Alayoubi family, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.

If you believe that there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. ... discospinster _talk 17:04, 8 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Appeal

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

AAANDA (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I was blocked for 24 hours for edit warring on the Nizar Qabbani article. My edits were intended to prevent repeated unsourced changes by another editor (User:Turkiishh) who has been adding false claims of Turkish nationality to Syrian non-Turkish notable figures. These edits are not supported by reliable sources and alter well-documented cultural identities, which I believe violates Wikipedia’s verifiability and neutrality policies. I acknowledge that reverting repeatedly was not the correct way to handle the situation and will instead address this on the talk page in the future. Requesting review of this block in light of the context and ongoing vandalism. The Admind Mr: ‪Discospinster‬ who, I believe, did not block the other editor (User:Turkiishh) who initiated the edit warring by repeatedly adding unsourced and incorrect claims of Turkish nationality to Syrian and other non-Turkish notable figures.

Decline reason:

Content disputes are not WP:VANDALISM. I see no evidence you have ever tried to use the article talk page to resolve this dispute. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 20:57, 8 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Please provide diffs of the unsourced edits you reverted; I've examined some of your recent edits and the edits had sources. 331dot (talk) 18:41, 8 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Unblock request – Reverting persistent unsourced vandalism by “Turkiishh”

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

AAANDA (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I was reverting persistent, unsourced vandalism by the user "Turkiishh," who has repeatedly added false claims of Turkish origin to prominent Syrian figures, including Nizar Qabbani and Said al-Ghazzi. Nizar Qabbani was Syrian by birth and citizenship, and Said al-Ghazzi was from Damascus, from one of its most prominent families; his surname relates to a historical profession connected to Gaza — not Turkish ancestry. My intent was solely to preserve factual accuracy, not to engage in an edit war. I now understand that repeated reverts can be seen as edit warring, even when addressing vandalism, and in the future I will raise the issue on the article’s Talk page or request administrator intervention instead. I request that the block be reconsidered in light of the good-faith intent and the pattern of disruptive editing I was addressing. AAANDA (talk) 21:03, 9 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

This is exactly why you blocked the previous time. Content disputes are not WP:VANDALISM. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 21:33, 9 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again.

AAANDA (talk) 21:03, 9 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I understand I am currently blocked for edit warring. However, I would like to request that another editor open a discussion on the Talk page of the Nizar Qabbani article regarding a nationality dispute. An editor has repeatedly changed Qabbani’s nationality from Syrian to Turkish without providing sources. This change is factually incorrect and misrepresents a key biographical detail. Reliable sources clearly state he was born in Damascus, Syria, including: – The Independent (“Nizar Qabbani was born in Damascus in 1923”) – PoemHunter (“Nizar Qabbani, born in Damascus, Syria”) – Fenshop Blog (mentions Qabbani’s birth in Damascus) – Translation of Nizar Qabbani: Reference for Students in Applied Criticism – p. 175 (identifies Qabbani as Syrian). I request that the article be restored to state that Nizar Qabbani was Syrian, and that future edits on this point be based on reliable sources. Please also consider temporary page protection to prevent further unsourced changes.
