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.

This edit has been reverted per WP:ARBECR and the above notice. You are currently limited to the filing of edit requests in the topic area. Thank you. Selfstudier (talk) 23:01, 26 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

The same for the other two edits at that page, please confine your edits in the topic area to straightforward edit requests, Thank you. Selfstudier (talk) 23:04, 26 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
You must stop rating topic related to the Arab/Israel conflict immediately or you will be blocked. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 23:52, 26 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hi, sorry, I didn't see this earlier @ScottishFinnishRadish and didn't understand that rating these topics constituted and edit to these topics, and I will stop. Is there additional action I should take? I can go through my edit history, I was going through the backlog for all Israel Project articles (most unrelated to the conflict) and I can identify conflict related articles where the ratings can be reverted Fileyfood500 (talk) 00:05, 27 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
I've reviewed the past cases, and understand that I was violating policy in 2 ways:
  1. I was assigning pages that were related to the Arab/Israel conflict, and were thus extended protect/controversial topics.
  2. I was commenting on the Talk pages for pages from the Arab/Israel conflict.
Here are the pages related to the conflict that I assigned and/or posted to talk on (most assigned):
If it's acceptable, I understand my mistake, and will request an unblock, and won't make this mistake again. Fileyfood500 (talk) 00:31, 27 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
I'm interested in how you're accurately rating articles like Ironi Nahariya in 10-20 seconds at a sustained pace. It appears that you may be trying to use that semi-automated tool to achieve 500 edits. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 00:48, 27 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
I see. I was scrolling through each article, and looking to see if sections ended with citations, and if there were multiple citations vs a single citation, and scanning text for clear grammatical errors. For sections that appeared to be more in line with "Stub" or "Start" quality, I usually scanned through pretty quickly, and ended up going fairly quickly through a very large number of article on Israeli basketball teams (of which this was one), soccer teams, and tournaments, which seemed fairly repetitive. And I did use the Rater tool, so my process was that I'd scroll/scan the article, then click the Rater link, select the grade from the dropdown. For many of these basketball articles and for some other articles I did spend on the order of 20 seconds doing this, especially as it got more repetitive. Before giving a B rating to an article, I would dig deeper and check some sources, although looking back through my history, I see that even in those cases, I would spent about 1 minute on those articles, not significantly longer. Fileyfood500 (talk) 01:09, 27 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Also, with just a glance I also saw Talk:Ein Netafim ambush, Talk:Commanders for Israel's Security, and Talk:City Line (Jerusalem), the latter article you rated C class despite only having a single source, and all three were rated within two minutes. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 01:08, 27 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thank you, I missed the Ein Netafim and City Line when going back through, I will check back through the other contributions. I had seen the list of Commanders for Israel's Security, but hadn't thought that was tied directly to the conflict since it's a list of officials, I will see if there are any other articles that are similar that I assigned or edited. Fileyfood500 (talk) 01:21, 27 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
From a more detailed review I found these articles which I assigned and are connected to the Israeli/Arab conflict
So these articles, in addition to the 10 listed above. Fileyfood500 (talk) 01:49, 27 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
There's also this clear violation, which you knew. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 01:12, 27 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
As far as this change, I have some confusion. This article wasn't edit protected or marked in connection to the conflict, and it is true I made this edit, but then I also recognized the association with conflict, and submitted a request for the article to be edit protected. I could have established a more consistent protocol around this Fileyfood500 (talk) 01:15, 27 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
I am actually unsure if it was appropriate for me to request that the article be edit protected, because the policy for requesting edit protection states that the protection should be in response to an issue or edit war, and not pre-emptive. I will search for the the text of this- Fileyfood500 (talk) 01:18, 27 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Increase#Anti-Occupation Bloc
^^^3 page protection requests related to the Israeli/Arab conflict may need to be reverted as well, or closed if they are in violation Fileyfood500 (talk) 01:23, 27 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
As far as this, @ScottishFinnishRadish, are all pages related to the Israeli/Arab conflict Edit-Confirmed protected? I recognized some of the pages as contentious and requested protection, but was under the impression that many of these pages weren't protected, and so I didn't think there was any violation if I made an edit such as the one referenced- Fileyfood500 (talk) 01:25, 27 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

How are you rating Ironi Nahariya C-Class? Most of the content in the article lacks any source! If this is your standard how can any of your ratings be trusted? starship.paint (RUN) 02:06, 27 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Starship.paint based on your comment, are you saying Ironi Nahariya should be rated Start class? This is my first time doing assessment, so I would appreciate feedback. From Wikipedia:Content assessment I thought it was C class because the article was substantial, and has some credible sources, but had major issues (the lack of citations for large bodies of the article). I take it that this type of issue is actually reflective of a Start class article? Fileyfood500 (talk) 02:15, 27 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Yes, Start class description says It may or may not cite adequate reliable sources. C-Class description says requires Wikipedia:Cleanup, which includes page layout, wikification, spelling, grammar and typographical errors, tone and source formatting. Essentially, for C-Class, I expect an incomplete article, but whatever is inside should have the relevant reliable sources. The missing thing should not be references for C-Class. starship.paint (RUN) 02:19, 27 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
I see, I didn't understand this and designated a fair number of articles C class which had sourcing issues. If/when the edit block ends in a week I will go back and address these Fileyfood500 (talk) 02:25, 27 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

To enforce an arbitration decision, and for WP:ECR violations, you have been blocked from editing Wikipedia for a period of 1 week Wikipedia. You are welcome to edit once the block expires; however, please note that the repetition of similar behavior may result in a longer block or other sanctions.

If you believe this block is unjustified, please read the guide to appealing blocks (specifically this section) before appealing. Place the following on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Please copy my appeal to the [[WP:AE|arbitration enforcement noticeboard]] or [[WP:AN|administrators' noticeboard]]. Your reason here OR place the reason below this template. ~~~~}}. If you intend to appeal on the arbitration enforcement noticeboard, I suggest you use the arbitration enforcement appeals template on your talk page so it can be copied over easily. You may also appeal directly to me (by email), before or instead of appealing on your talk page.

Reminder to administrators: In May 2014, ArbCom adopted the following procedure instructing administrators regarding Arbitration Enforcement blocks: "No administrator may modify a sanction placed by another administrator without: (1) the explicit prior affirmative consent of the enforcing administrator; or (2) prior affirmative agreement for the modification at (a) AE or (b) AN or (c) ARCA (see "Important notes" [in the procedure]). Administrators modifying sanctions out of process may at the discretion of the committee be desysopped."

 
This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

I did not have any bad intention, I was working on assigning all pages listed in the Israel Project's backlog, and did not realize assigning and commenting on articles related to the Israel/Arab conflict was in violation to the edit protection policy. I won't repeat this mistake again. Fileyfood500 (talk) 00:36, 27 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Decline reason:

This is an arbitration enforcement block and would need to be reviewed on the arbitration enforcement noticeboard (or WP:AN). You haven't indicated that you wish it to be reviewed in either place. Additionally, there are clear concerns about your assessments even outside of the contentious topics. Yamla (talk) 11:09, 27 April 2024 (UTC)Reply


If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
