Upgrade Recent Changes in my preferences
Have you tried the Advanced options in your Recent changes user preferences settings? It requires a modern browser to work and is disabled by default. Unlike the normal "recent changes" page, these options can summarize edits to the same page and let you dynamically expand and collapse the list items. For multiple edits to the same page, it also provides a single "changes" link which will show you a view of the differences (diffs) between these combined edits and the last non-recent revision. After changing the Advanced options, the "Recent changes" list takes effect immediately and can be reversed by unchecking any option. – – To add this auto-randomizing template to your user page, use {{totd-random}}

- Hi Nableezy, sorry I mixed up "Zionism" with "Judaism" (I explained on the article's talk page that I did this because the Start article's title said "The leaders of the American Women’s March have spoken: Jews are unwelcome on the feminist left"). Instead of accusing me of "making up quotes", why not just correct me if I misrepresent or misquote a particular word? Barca (talk) 16:11, 17 December 2018 (UTC)
- You put in quotation marks something she has never said, and then followed that with "according to Sarsour". How else would I describe attributing a made up quote to somebody? You misread? Ok, thats fine, just be more careful when attributing quotes to people. nableezy - 16:14, 17 December 2018 (UTC)

Heads up
Hi Barca, Thanks for your edits on the MEK page recently, they have been very helpful as that article has been under a lot of problematic editing lately. Just wanted to give you a heads-up to paraphrase and quote from sources as much as possible to avoid any copy-vio issues. Thanks again.Stefka Bulgaria (talk) 08:18, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
- Hey Stefka, yes I noticed this was an issue. Will you fix and add the copy righted material that has been removed? There is also a discussion about a New York Times source you added ([1]), would be good to have your thoughts. Barca (talk) 15:09, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Barca: I'm going to take a break from editing the MEK page, will also avoid participating in its talk page discussions. I'm disappointed on how things are being handled in some of these pages (see this for instance), and feel my efforts have become futile there. Stefka Bulgaria (talk) 09:44, 9 November 2019 (UTC)

Hello. It appears we have disagreements on what to include in
- Hi Kazemita1, if you have good faith, you should not be reverting your edits back into the article ([2]), ([3]), which in your edit summaries you said that I had agreed to those changes, but this is not true. Barca (talk) 15:17, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
- Here is your last edit on December 9th, right before the edit warring started, in which you consented to the addition of the following statements:
" and "continued to conduct limited terrorist attacks in Iran for years".
" shadowy outfit with little support inside Iran and cult-like attributes."
Please, note that you did not edit the article any further for two days after that and one would naturally think this is a sign of consent. Two days later, on Dec. 11th when me, Ypatch and Emilcioran were all blocked and could not comment on any of your edits you deleted the above mentioned statements. You are now trying to present the facts as if I cheated. To show you further evidence, here is Emilcioran's edit and Ypatche's edit -who even though were opposing my edit- all included the above mentioned statements. In other words I am trying to say there is consensus on the version of the article I restored after recovery from block. And finally this is the diff between my edit right after recovery from block and your last edit on Dec. 9th that shows they are the same word for word. Of course, you knew all of that.Kazemita1 (talk) 06:34, 17 December 2019 (UTC)

I am asking you -for the second time - to think over my proposal. Let's list the things we want to be added/removed from the article. As a starting point I am asking you and @Mhhossein: to both revert your edits for which you both were blocked. (I mean after your block is over). To expedite the matter you may express your opinion here in your talk page.--Kazemita1 (talk) 02:08, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
- Mhhossein was not blocked. That's because they actually made an effort to substantiate on the content front, albeit rather too briefly for my liking. And because BarcrMac is now blocked, they can't really collaborate with you on the article on-wiki, using their user talk page as a proxy. Their usage of their talk page has to be limited to an unblock request only. El_C 02:20, 21 December 2019 (UTC)

- I've made the need to be careful with sources abundantly clear, but your latest post is still playing fast and loose with the sources. You ten sources to support the claim that
"The Iranian clerical government continuingly targets, imprisons, and executes MEK supporters"
. Of these, the first is an editorial from a dodgy source that refers to the torture of a couple of supporters only in their voice; the second refers to alleged attacks against members; the fourth talks of the MEK being a target of assassination; the fifth talks of a single person; the sixth talks of people who explicitly denied a connection with the MEK, and refers to charges that may or may not have a connection to the MEK; the seventh and eighth talk of incidents occurring decades ago; the ninth only confirms the death of one individual, and attributes the rest to the MEK; the tenth doesn't refer to current supporters, but to relatives of political opponents killed in the 80s. The only source which may be acceptable is the fourth, and you've provided no way of verifying that one. In short, you're engaging in forbiddenWP:BANEX only allows you to discuss the ban itself; you may not discuss the conduct of other editors in relation to the MEK, nor can you discuss the topic in general while your ban is in place. I would recommend that you not appeal the ban, and instead that you focus on content in slightly less contentious areas, where you can demonstrate that you are being careful in your use of sources.

Stop hounding me
Let me make it clear, you need to immediately stop
- @Mhhossein: I am not hounding you. I've been very involved in articles related to protests in Iran: [7][8][9][10][11][12][13] and so on... You should be warned to stop falsely accusing other editors, which is battleground behavior. Barca (talk) 15:00, 11 February 2021 (UTC)

- You had zero edits to 2018 Khuzestan protests. I am talking about this weird comment. --Mhhossein talk 18:20, 11 February 2021 (UTC)]
- I linked the 2017–18 Iranian protests to the 2019–2020 Iranian protests, and it has been on my watchlist ever since (like most protests in Iran, a scope I've shown an interest in). Barca (talk) 02:57, 12 February 2021 (UTC)]
- I am not seeing a hounding issue here, but Mhhossein is correct in saying that comment makes little sense, and comes across as reflexive opposition. If you oppose the merger and want your opinion given weight, you're going to have to elaborate more than that, Barca. Vanamonde (Talk) 16:17, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. Thanks! MarioGom (talk) 17:44, 10 June 2021 (UTC)
