Alert

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have recently shown interest in Eastern Europe. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect: any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or any page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

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.

1RR

Hi, you've crossed the 1RR prohibition on the Zionism article (first revert, second revert), please self-revert. Also, your substantive claim that the source says "Arabs" is incorrect. There are ten sources cited, some say "Palestinian," some say "Arab," but those that say "Arab" mean "Palestinian" when read in context--they're talking about Arabs in Palestine, not elsewhere. Anyway, please self-revert and if you think it should say "Arab" instead of "Palestinian Arab," propose it on the talk page. Levivich (talk) 21:00, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi Levivich. I don’t believe that first edit you mention was a revert, but due to the controversial circumstances, I will revert my edit anyway. Heptor (talk) 21:37, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

@Heptor, for future reference there's an additional restriction in place on that article (you can find details at the top of Talk:Zionism) that "[c]hanges challenged by reversion may not be reinstated without affirmative consensus on the talk page". TarnishedPath^talk 07:56, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
