File:House of Commons of the United Kingdom 2018.svg

Hi SoThisIsPeter. I'm a bit confused by File:House of Commons of the United Kingdom 2018.svg. Having looked at File:House of Commons of the United Kingdom.svg, which it replaced, I think you're suggesting the entire image is PD because it uses the crowned portcullis device, ie File:Crowned Portcullis.svg, which is PD. However, in addition to the crowned portcullis, this new logo clearly consists of an arrangement of characters, with particular spacing, font and colour, and copyright will therefore vest in it. The image is therefore non-free and will need moving to Wikipedia rather than Commons, and NFCC justifications required for each use - it may well be the case that it's easier to just use the crowned portcullis instead of the full logo. Do also note that although the crowned portcullis would have been Crown copyright before that expired, the copyright in the new logo will be Parliamentary copyright, rather than Crown. ninety:one 14:28, 26 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Courtesy notice

== 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.

The page which you recently edited relating to this rule is Keir Starmer. Burrobert (talk) 12:27, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies, I didn't realise the 500-30 rule applied to all edits related to contentious topics on any page - I assumed it only related to edits within specially protected topic pages previously. SoThisIsPeter (talk) 13:21, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is no expectation that you would know about the restriction which is why I posted the above template. The restrictions apply to

the entire set of articles whose topic relates to the Arab-Israeli conflict, broadly interpreted ("primary articles"), and
edits relating to the Arab-Israeli conflict, to pages and discussions in all namespaces with the exception of userspace ("related content").
