- Thank you for informing me, I will be sure to read all the rules before I edit next time. Easternsahara (talk) 03:18, 27 March 2025 (UTC)
Hi Easternsahara! I noticed your contributions and wanted to welcome you to the Wikipedia community.
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.As you get started, you may find this short tutorial helpful:

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 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.

- I understand but I have not edited the article, I have only made a move request which could be considered an edit request. Am I not allowed to talk on talk pages either? If so, then thank you for informing me, I will now stop. Easternsahara (talk) 18:26, 10 April 2025 (UTC)
WHS
[edit]Hi! Good point with the list in UK, I removed two "see also" since they make little sense. As for the former Soviet Union, the sites that were listed while it existed were only in present-day Russia, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan, so it makes little sense to have other member countries as "see also". The above three yes, eventually. As for tentative sites, do you have some good source what was nominated before the collapse of the country? In general, we don't keep historical records on what was nominated and later dropped, just the current list and current nominations. Otherwise this would quickly get out of control.

Nimeinen
[edit]In your article on Fredrik Edvard Johansson most of the sources are given as "Nimeinen". Can you please expaqnd on this, as it is unclear what this is supposed to refer to. Ingratis (talk) 13:01, 23 April 2025 (UTC) Forget it - sorted! Ingratis (talk) 13:53, 23 April 2025 (UTC)
