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 an expanded level of powers and discretion 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 practices;
• 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 any 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.

To edit in the Israeli-Palestinian topic area on Wikipedia accounts must be at least thirty days old and have at least 500 edits. This includes editing talk pages, with the sole exception being for simple and specific edit requests, which should be in the form of "change x to y for reason z", complying with EDITXY.

Welcome!

Hi TrustyTusk! I noticed your contributions and wanted to welcome you to the Wikipedia community. I hope you like it here and decide to stay.

I've noticed that you've expressed an interest in the Arab–Israeli conflict. Unfortunately, due to a history of conflict and disruptive editing it has been designated a contentious topic and is subject to some strict rules.

The rule that affects you most as a new or IP editor is the prohibition on making any edit related to the Arab–Israel conflict, which includes discussing articles on talk pages, unless you are logged into an account that is at least 30 days old and has made at least 500 edits.

This prohibition is broadly construed, so it includes edits such as adding the reaction of a public figure concerning the conflict to their article or noting the position of a company or organization as it relates to the conflict.

The exception to this rule is that you may request a specific change to an article on the talk page of that article or at this page. Please ensure that your requested edit complies with our neutral point of view and reliable sourcing policies, and if the edit is about a living person our policies on biographies of living people as well.

Any edits you make contrary to these rules are likely to be reverted, and repeated violations can lead to you being blocked from editing.

Contentious topics

Please re-review the restrictions on the contentious topic area of the Arab-Israeli conflict above. You do not meet the 500 edits and 30 days criteria to be permitted to edit in the topic area. The only thing you may do is make an edit request on a talkpage without any sort of editorializing like you just did. If you continue to edit in the topic area before you meet the criteria, you may be blocked. If you attempt to game the requirements (ex: by making useless edits), then you may be rendered ineligible to contribute in the area even after having met the requirements.

You have been warned twice now about the requirements to edit in the topic area. If you make any further edits before you are eligible to contribute in the area, the next step will be asking an administrator to enforce restrictions on you via a block or other means. -bɜ:ʳkənhɪmez | me | talk to me! 03:53, 23 May 2025 (UTC)

I didnt see this until now, sorry. I was just talking on the talk page. I wont anymore. TrustyTusk (talk) 04:06, 23 May 2025 (UTC)

No worries. I encourage you to just find another area to edit in - that way you can learn the expectations, policies, guidelines, etc. And then once you are extended confirmed you may consider editing in the Arab-Israeli conflict area again. Just to note, it is broadly construed - meaning any part of any article that is related to the Arab-Israeli conflict in virtually any way is off limits for you right now. -bɜ:ʳkənhɪmez | me | talk to me! 04:11, 23 May 2025 (UTC)
