Happy editing! Snowmanonahoe (talk) 00:26, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
- Hi @Snowmanonahoe thanks for welcoming me here. Just wondering how to add userboxes to my user page like there are on your page? InLizWeTruss (talk) 00:29, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
- Hi @Snowmanonahoe I'm wondering how I can request an edit to a protected article. The article for Israeli politician Avigdor Lieberman is missing an important controversy of his; which is his enmity to the Haredim in Israel. I would like to add this section but am unsure how to.

- See Wikipedia:Edit requests. Note that edit requests for substantial content additions usually take a while for someone to review. In this case I would start without using the edit request template, and just bringing it up on the talk page, provide a source or two if you can. Snowmanonahoe (talk) 00:28, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
- How can I become an editor who can edit protected or semi-protected articles InLizWeTruss (talk) 00:29, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
- To edit a semi-protected article, you need an account age of 4 days and 10 edits. To edit extended-confirmed protected articles (like the one you want to edit), you need an account age of 30 days and 500 edits. Snowmanonahoe (talk) 00:31, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks I have left the request in the talk section of Avigdor Liberman article under the subtitle 'anti-Israel views' with three sources; is that the right way of going about this? InLizWeTruss (talk) 00:39, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
- Yeah what you did was good. Small note—whenever you cite sources in a talk page comment, add {{talkref}} to the end of your comment (on a new line after your signature). I have done it for you here. Snowmanonahoe (talk) 00:42, 18 April 2023 (UTC)

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.
