[edit]

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! tgeorgescu (talk) 20:07, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction to contentious topics

[edit]

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.

Hello,I am sorry for creating that page I am not some kind of expert I just thought it would be interesting to make, but again I am sorry and you can probably tell that I don t know how to use wikipedia Sebastian.Diaconu (talk) 07:26, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Tgeorgescu, Significa liberdade, and Sebastian.Diaconu: Hi Sebastian.Diaconu. Unfortunately you have stepped into an area of the English language Wikipedia (the one you are reading right now, "the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit" ) which is counter-intuitively very much not part "the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit". You haven't done anything wrong as such, but just ventured into topics where Wikipedia:Please do not bite the newcomers counter-intuitively does not apply. Please do let me know if I can assist you assist you about this, or anything else related to the English language Wikipedia. Peter in Australia aka Shirt58 (talk) 🦘 10:37, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
