WARNING: ACTIVE ARBITRATION REMEDIES
The article Gulf War, along with other articles relating to the Arab–Israeli conflict, is currently subject to active arbitration remedies, as laid out during a 2008 Arbitration case, and supplemented by community consensus in November 2010. The current restrictions are:
- All articles related to the Arab-Israeli conflict broadly construed are under WP:1RR (one revert per editor per article per 24 hour period). When in doubt, assume it is related.
- Certain edits may be reverted without penalty. These include edits made by anonymous IP editors, and edits which are clearly vandalism.
- Editors who otherwise violate this 1RR restriction may be blocked without warning by any uninvolved administrator, even on a first offence.
- After being warned, any editor who repeatedly or seriously fails to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behavior, or any normal editorial process may be blocked up to one year, topic-banned, further revert-restricted, or otherwise restricted from editing.
- Reports of editors violating any of these restrictions should be made to either the Arbitration enforcement or Edit warring noticeboards.
If you are a new editor, or an editor unfamiliar with the situation, please follow the above guidelines. You may also wish to review the arbitration case page. If you are unsure if your edit is appropriate, discuss it here on this talk page first. When in doubt, don't revert! |

[edit] UN & "Desert Storm"
Re this edit, I've changed Shield back to Storm, considering that the article says, "for the operational name of the military response". The operation known as Desert Storm was authorized by U.N. Security Council Resolution No. 678. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 08:05, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
[edit] Commanders Section
In British Constitutional Law the Prime Minister is not the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces as the President of the United States is. Technically speaking the Prime Minister merely advises the monarch on deployment of British Forces. As such John Major should not be listed as a commander, HM Queen Elizabeth II should be instead.
