Arab-Israeli editing

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 George Galloway. Burrobert (talk) 13:35, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As a reminder, please be aware that you must be "logged-in, have 500 edits and an account age of 30 days" to edit in this topic area. 33ABGirl (talk) 17:07, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Got it, my bad. Anonymous Observer1945 (talk) 17:17, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I see you have 515 edits and your account was created on 6 February 2024. You may come back in a week to add the content back. 33ABGirl (talk) 17:19, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sure. Just to be clear, I didn't realise I was breaking the rules as the edits I was making were more related to antisemitism than to the Israeli-Arab conflict specifically (I just mentioned a couple examples in which antisemitism has manifested in relation to the conflict), but I shall restrain from anything which might overlap until my account is sufficiently old Anonymous Observer1945 (talk) 09:06, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations on reaching extended-confirmed. You may now edit topics related to the Arab–Israeli conflict and other WP:ECR topics. 33ABGirl (talk) 01:45, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @33ABGirl Anonymous Observer1945 (talk) 09:28, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That editor was a sock puppet. Doug Weller talk 19:42, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

March 2024

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Owen Jones, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. AusLondonder (talk) 14:18, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can you be more specific about why you have removed sources that I cited even when they came from Owen himself? Anonymous Observer1945 (talk) 14:30, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Because your Synthesis of his primary source YouTube video is not acceptable. AusLondonder (talk) 14:52, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I realised when I first saw that you had taken it all down that that might have been something you were bothered by, and I take your criticism on board. However, you deleted literally everything else, including his comments on Venezuela which were sourced with an article both from Owen himself and the City A.M.; I fail to see why that should have been deleted because of the manner with which his YouTube video and the subsequent reaction was described in a section below it. Could you explain your decision? Anonymous Observer1945 (talk) 14:59, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have replied at Talk:Owen Jones. AusLondonder (talk) 15:09, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

March 2024

I see you have resumed adding controversial content to BLPs relying solely on inappropriate sources. Please understand other editors will revert this. AusLondonder (talk) 17:07, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for File:Owen Jones.png

Thanks for uploading File:Owen Jones.png. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 14:30, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Owen Jones at Corbyn rally.png

A tag has been placed on File:Owen Jones at Corbyn rally.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a copyright violation and has no credible claim of fair use or permission. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Notice that you are now subject to an arbitration enforcement topic ban

The following topic ban now applies to you:

You are indefinitely topic banned from the Arab/Israel conflict, broadly construed

You have been sanctioned for gaming ECR through hundreds of minor, inconsequential edits, e.g. these 100+ edits followed by NPOV and BLP violations in the ARBPIA topic area.

This topic ban is imposed in my capacity as an uninvolved administrator under the authority of the Arbitration Committee's decision at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Index/Palestine-Israel articles#Final decision and, if applicable, the contentious topics procedure. This sanction has been recorded in the log of sanctions. Please read WP:TBAN to understand what a topic ban is. If you do not comply with the topic ban, you may be blocked for an extended period to enforce the ban.

If you wish to appeal the ban, please read the appeals process. You are free to contact me on my talk page if anything of the above is unclear to you. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 13:36, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You have since violated your topic ban on a number of occasions, most recently with these two edits. As long as the topic ban remains in effect, please desist immediately from making any edit related to this topic area, or I will enforce it with a block.
