  Welcome, and thank you for contributing to the English Wikipedia. The page that you have created in your sandbox is not in English, it is in Spanish. You may translate it into English, but you may also write this article at the Spanish Wikipedia instead. Thank you. Rusty4321 talk contributions 23:45, 9 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

@Rusty4321 I know that. But my Google settings are in English so the English version is the default option when logging into Wikipedia. I use this sandbox to create articles in Spanish or French. Aleqc (talk) 23:52, 9 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

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 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.

Hi Aleqc! I noticed your contributions and wanted to welcome you to the Wikipedia community. I hope you like it here and decide to stay.

I've noticed that you've expressed an interest in the Arab–Israeli conflict. Unfortunately, due to a history of conflict and disruptive editing it has been designated a contentious topic and is subject to some strict rules.

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 unless you are logged into an account and that account 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.

To clarify the above some more, per WP:ARBECR, I reverted your last contribution as you are presently limited to filing edit requests only, the initial edit was an edit request, even if not in the standard form, but the subsequent contribution was not. Selfstudier (talk) 21:44, 24 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

So. If I want all the references that state 'Mexico recognises the State of Palestine as a full sovereign state' to be removed. Or clarify that there aren't any official sources or documents that support the Mexican recognition of the State of Palestine. I need to ask for that change in the talk page of the article or the 'Current requests for edits to a protected page' section of the 'Wikipedia:Requests for page protection' page you sent. Right?

Yes but I think someone will anyway do it shortly following our conversation and the references provided there. Selfstudier (talk) 09:58, 25 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
