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.

July 2024

  Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Roman Palestine. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Most notably, page moves without discussion, and largescale content deletion, including source deletion, without discussion, are simply unacceptable. Iskandar323 18:34, 9 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Warning

edit

I gave you the above "alert" on July 3rd. You still haven't gotten 500 edits; IMO you have broken the restiction on

Expect to find yourself at WP:AE, if you continue to break your restriction, cheers, Huldra (talk) 21:19, 9 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Wow, such aggressiveness!!! This article has no connection to any conflict. It is about Ottoman era history in the Levant. What is this all about? EliasAntonakos (talk) 08:27, 10 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Roman Palestine

edit

The page is now fully protected in the version prior to the dispute. Take it to Talk:Roman Palestine. CambridgeBayWeather (solidly non-human), Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 14:46, 10 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
