Arab-Israeli editing

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

  • adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
  • comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
  • follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
  • comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
  • refrain from gaming the system.

Additionally, you must be logged-in, have 500 edits and an account age of 30 days, and are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on a page within this topic.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

The page which you recently edited relating to this rule is George Galloway. Burrobert (talk) 13:35, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As a reminder, please be aware that you must be "logged-in, have 500 edits and an account age of 30 days" to edit in this topic area. 33ABGirl (talk) 17:07, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Got it, my bad. Anonymous Observer1945 (talk) 17:17, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I see you have 515 edits and your account was created on 6 February 2024. You may come back in a week to add the content back. 33ABGirl (talk) 17:19, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sure. Just to be clear, I didn't realise I was breaking the rules as the edits I was making were more related to antisemitism than to the Israeli-Arab conflict specifically (I just mentioned a couple examples in which antisemitism has manifested in relation to the conflict), but I shall restrain from anything which might overlap until my account is sufficiently old Anonymous Observer1945 (talk) 09:06, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Congratulations on reaching extended-confirmed. You may now edit topics related to the Arab–Israeli conflict and other WP:ECR topics. 33ABGirl (talk) 01:45, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
