This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
You have shown interest in the Arab–Israeli conflict. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.
For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

As a new account, you can not vote in Arab-Israeli conflict pages, or edit the pages. 11Fox11 (talk) 03:09, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
Please stop your disruptive editing.
- If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
- If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Salama Moussa, you may be blocked from editing. The subject of the article is from a Coptic family, and I indicated as such on the talk page. Discuss there, rather than being disruptive with your edits. ZimZalaBim talk 02:34, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
- You're being extremely oppressive. You're not answering my questions, yet, you're preventing me from editing. Stop abusing your powers.AhmadNN (talk) 07:54, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
- Hi AhmadNN, it looks like you are new to Wikipedia, is that right? It can take some time to get used to how people do things here. First, ZimZalaBim is not being opressive or abusing any power (you have as much power as they do). It happens very often that someone will revert an edit you make. It's completely normal. The best way to respond is to follow the "bold, revert, discuss" method (WP:BRD) - stop editing, discuss any problems on the talk page, and come to a consensus. All edits require consensus - nobody has the absolute right to make an edit. If you can't agree, there are further methods of dispute resolution. The one thing you must not do is to repeatedly make the same edit when you see that others disagree. That will quickly lead to you being blocked for edit warring. I see you've been discussing on the talk page of Salama Moussa, so that's good. I left a comment there because it seems to me that you have a reasonable point, and it also agrees with our Manual of Style. Let's see if anyone else has something to add? One other thing, most editors prefer to work in a calm, respectful, and civil environment, where we assume good faith on the part of other editors. So please try to be careful about accusing others of "propaganda" or being oppressive, and so on. On the other hand, ZimZalaBim jumped straight to a third-level warning template which is much more strongly worded than seems appropriate in the circumstances, so your reaction is not completely unexpected. I hope you can both work out a solution. Thanks for your understanding... --IamNotU (talk) 17:30, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
