Balanced scales.svg This article is the subject of an arbitration ruling. It is expected that editors abide by the letter and spirit of that ruling. Those editors who violate the ruling, but are unaware of it, will be informed of the details before any sanctions are invoked.
Consensus WARNING: ACTIVE ARBITRATION REMEDIES

The article Yom Kippur 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.
    • Clear vandalism of whatever origin may be reverted without restriction. Reverts of edits made by anonymous IP editors that are not vandalism are exempt from 1RR but are subject to the usual rules on edit warring.
    • 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 · history · watch · refresh Stock post message.svg To-do list for Yom Kippur War:
  • (Try to find reliable sources that detail the war specifically on the Golan Heights from the Syrian and/or Iraqi retrospective) - This may be difficult to accomplish given the open nature of Israeli society which tolerates internal discussion as opposed to the regimes in Syria / Iraq which do not.
  • Point to peace initiatives from Sadat in 1971 and in February 1973 - They both where rejected by Golda Meir government leaving no choice to the Egyptians to get in the war.

[edit] Corrections

1) The Egyptian port which was attacked by Israeli navy is A'rdaka or Ghardaka (the exact Arab name cannot be tranferred into English. The first letter sounds like something between A, R and G) and not as was written.

2) The number of Israeli oil tankers which were sunk by Egyptian mines was one, not two.

Please check if needed, and correct.

[edit] Meaningless Sentence Fragment

Does the following string of letters and punctuation have an intended meaning? "Mossad Director-General Zvi Zamir, Defense Minister Moshe Dayan and Chief of Staff David Elazar."
