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.

[edit]Hi EllieDellie! I noticed your contributions and wanted to welcome you to the Wikipedia community. I hope you like it here and decide to stay.
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:

For further clarity, this does mean you cannot participate in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Shai Davidai. The article itself already notes that it is covered by ARBECR, in the talk page. But in addition it's not reasonably possible to participate in the AFD without hitting broadly construed territory. Even if you were to concentrate solely on their academic achievements and sources which relate to this, you'd still reasonably need to comment on whether these sources seem completely independent from their activism or seem to have come about because of their activism. In any case the comment you left did clearly touch on the conflict so isn't allowed until you have extended confirmed status and so I've struck it.

- Hi there User:Nil Einne, sorry about that. I thought that the RfC specifically indicated that anyone could participate; clearly I misread. I understand the importance of handling this topic with care, and why this policy is in place, because what ends up on wikipedia can broadly inform and impact very real behaviors. I appreciate everything the admins on here do, and the speed at which they do it. Thank you! EllieDellie (talk) 16:52, 12 March 2025 (UTC)
Law enforcement in Mali
[edit]When exactly one sentence in an otherwise solidly sourced article cites ChatGPT, IMO it is not a good idea to imply that the whole page is suspect with the warning you selected. It is better to tag that specific sentence as questionable or simply fix it. Clarityfiend (talk) 20:16, 24 March 2025 (UTC)
