Warning: active arbitration remedies

The contentious topics procedure applies to this article. Parts of this article relate to the Arab–Israeli conflict, which is a contentious topic. Furthermore, the following rules apply when editing the parts of the page related to the contentious topic:

You must be logged-in and extended-confirmed to edit or discuss this topic on any page (except for making edit requests, provided they are not disruptive)
You may not make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on any edits related to this topic

Editors who repeatedly or seriously fail to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behaviour, or any normal editorial process may be blocked or restricted by an administrator. Editors are advised to familiarise themselves with the contentious topics procedures before editing this page.

If it is unclear which parts of the page are related to this contentious topic, the content in question should be marked within the wiki text by an invisible comment. If no comment is present, please ask an administrator for assistance. If in doubt it is better to assume that the content is covered.

Further information

The exceptions to the extended confirmed restriction are:

Non-extended-confirmed editors may use the "Talk:" namespace only to make edit requests related to articles within the topic area, provided they are not disruptive.
Non-extended-confirmed editors may not create new articles, but administrators may exercise discretion when deciding how to enforce this remedy on article creations. Deletion of new articles created by non-extended-confirmed editors is permitted but not required.

With respect to the WP:1RR restriction:

Clear vandalism of whatever origin may be reverted without restriction. Also, reverts made solely to enforce the extended confirmed restriction are not considered edit warring.
Editors who violate this restriction may be blocked by any uninvolved administrator, even on a first offence.

After being warned, contentious topics procedure can be used against any editor who repeatedly or seriously fails to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behaviour, or any normal editorial process. Contentious topic sanctions can include blocks, topic-bans, or other restrictions.
Editors may report violations of these restrictions to the Arbitration enforcement noticeboard.

If you are unsure if your edit is appropriate, discuss it here on this talk page first. When in doubt, don't revert!

Indian Lands

Surprise, surprise, a leading "Indian" spokesperson has taken up the idea and says he'd like to have his band of "Indians" land back, the HQ of Ben & Jerry's was erected on--2001:9E8:565B:6800:B87B:B2D0:FC51:5C60 (talk) 07:11, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That information has been synthesized by a fellow editor in the article. I think the community would be more than happy to add more information if a follow-up is issued by the company (spoiler alert: they won't issue a response to the request for giving the land back) EytanMelech (talk) 15:23, 9 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Israel and Palestinian Territories/West Bank exit

The sub-sections "Sales in Israel and Palestinian Territories" and "Exit from West Bank" overlap some extent. Maybe ZScarpia, Burrobert, Iskandar323 and Jbbdude they should be merged. Before noticing the overlapping I updated the sentence now starting "In 2019" in the "Sale of company ..." sub-section which now also relates to the subject.

Perhaps also the releasing of the statement, apparently by B&J but actually by Unilever, ^[1] should be mentioned. Mcljlm (talk) 08:24, 2 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Speaking for myself, I'd say that you should go ahead and make the changes you think would be beneficial.

Regarding statements issued by Unilever, if you think clarification is needed that they were issued by Unilever rather than the independent B+J board, go ahead. It is noted in at least one place that the B+J board reacted to one of the statements.

I made the following change to text about anti-BDS laws and policies in US states, which was an attempt to simplify the content, to remove what looked like slight editorialising and to clarify that the laws and policies are 'anti-BDS' rather than 'anti-Boycott' (as per the cited source): [1]
