Please stop attacking other editors, as you did on User talk:Nosferattus. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. Hey man im josh (talk) 15:21, 17 April 2023 (UTC)

I'll stop, but I think his actions were done unilaterally without buy-in from anyone else. Removing significant content on a useful page is extremely annoying. Ghostlystatic (talk) 19:49, 17 April 2023 (UTC)

I didn't say the October 7 terrorist attack in Israel wasn't a pogrom

Alphatiger9 did. All I did was change the number of kidnapped Israelis to 199. I actually agree with you that the terrorist attack on October 7 was a pogrom. Foxhound45 (talk) 13:01, 18 October 2023 (UTC)

Yeah that's my bad. I'm sorry. Ghostlystatic (talk) Ghostlystatic (talk) 13:44, 18 October 2023 (UTC)

Hi Ghostlystatic! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of an article several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.

All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. Thank you. Andre🚐 23:42, 23 October 2023 (UTC)

I did talk to them any they do not listen to reason. I will certainly get the dispute people involved. This meets the definition. I know what a pogrom is as a Jewish person. Ghostlystatic (talk) 23:44, 23 October 2023 (UTC)

I have made an NPOV dispute here so you are aware @Andrevan. Ghostlystatic (talk) 00:06, 24 October 2023 (UTC)

Sorry I should have clarified... please read the below...

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic designated as contentious. This standard message is designed as an 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.

Please note you I believe cannot start a new noticeboard discussion ... please see the current discussion at WP:ARCA (this is pretty inside baseball stuff, so feel free to skip) But, please pump the brakes on your edits. You are too new and should slow down for right now. Andre🚐 00:11, 24 October 2023 (UTC)

I will, but I will note that I have read this website for several years now. It's stuff like this that makes me hate working with your website. It's very disrespectful to anyone who doesn't spend all day editing.

I really don't see how I can't make an arbitration notice about this, since again I did what you said. Ghostlystatic (talk) 00:14, 24 October 2023 (UTC)

I am sorry. I am also Jewish and I agree it was a pogrom. But we have to wait until reliable sources describe it that way before Wikipedia can. You are free to edit though. But note that for this topic, you cannot, until you have more edits. Andre🚐 00:16, 24 October 2023 (UTC)

That's fine. I hate most of the editors on this website. Anything to scream about the Jews. They'll find any excuse. Ghostlystatic (talk) 00:19, 24 October 2023 (UTC)

As Andrevan said, you can't participate in "internal project discussions" related to the Arab-Israeli conflict until you have accumulated 500 edits. You are still welcome to comment on article talk pages. You can read more about the restriction at WP:ARBECR and more about what led to it at WP:ARBPIA4.

Alright then. Can you please bring the topic up on my behalf then? I will follow this byzantine system but I would please appreciate it if an expert can look into this. I'm sure I'm not the only Jewish person who views that event as a pogrom. Ghostlystatic (talk) 01:01, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
