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.

Unfortunately, to enforce the extended-confirmed (EC) restriction, the edit to the Israeli participation section of Controversies of the Eurovision Song Contest has been reverted. This is because IP editors and non-EC users are not allowed to edit anything to do with Israeli-Palestine conflict topic, broadly construed, except for making straightforward edit requests on article’s talk page. Whether the edit is good or not doesn’t matter. Repeated violation to this restriction may result in temporary block from editing.

If you are the one who made this edit and want this edit to be reinstated, please make an edit request in its talk page. You may need to include references in the request.

Otherwise, you can edit the rest of the article, as long you don’t touch anything to do with the Israel-Palestine conflict topic, broadly construed. Or you can create an account and make edits in other topics first.

If you have any questions, please reply here. Otherwise, thank you for understanding. Stylez995 (talk) 12:54, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
