September 2010[edit]

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Kabbalah. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. In particular, the use of peacock words, as well as pushing for only one teacher's particular interpretation rather than summerizing the majority of varied teachings labelled as Kabbalah (as the previous version did).

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Kabbalah, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you. removing the Judaism template from an article about traditional Jewish Kabbalah and adding your own research. Dougweller (talk) 16:13, 4 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add unsourced or original content, as you did to Adam. Doing so violates Wikipedia's verifiability policy. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Dougweller (talk) 16:13, 4 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Lechaim, you must familiarise yourself with our core content policies, WP:NPOV, WP:NOR and WP:V; if your edits violate these they are likely to be reverted on th spot. Also, full articles (as opposed to stubs) usually reflect the hard work of many editors. If you see small ways to improve them, great! But if you wish to make major changes, you should consider raising them on the talk page first. WP is a collaborative project. Slrubenstein | Talk 18:35, 4 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I repeat: read our core content policies. The views of Issac Luria, Chaim Vital, Rav Kook, Baal HaSulam, Baruch Ashlag can and to an extent are provided in the article. But weuse primary sources with extreme care and only to make certain kinds of points. Your edits all violated NPOV, NOR, and V. This is not a question of whose views are included in an article, it is a question of how they are included. And so far, you have just been including your own view, which willnever be acceptable.
