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 an expanded level of powers and discretion 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 practices;
• 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 have an account age of 30 days, and you are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on any 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 I adhered to all of these, why have my edits been removed? Who are you? Amelia7117 (talk) 09:14, 20 July 2025 (UTC)

Hey Amelia, please excuse me jumping in here but I'd encourage you to not make any further edits relating to the Israel/Palestine conflict, and reread the notice the @Aoidh posted.

Aoidh is an Administrator, and I'd recommend heeding their advice very carefully.

Especially take note of the line in bold, which you are not adhering to – essentially, your account lacks the experience/permissions required to edit on topic areas deemed to be contentious.

If you continue to edit in despite of this notice, you risk being blocked. This would be a shame, because looking at some of the edits you have made, you write well and know how to cite information. Maybe check out this page for other ways you could contribute to the project until you gain the experience needed to engage with contentious topics?

I am only adding in factual events that have happened though, so this seems very much like censorship. How on earth do you justify this? Why the bullying tone? Amelia7117 (talk) 11:25, 20 July 2025 (UTC)

Apologies if my tone came across that way, it really wasn't my intention. I just wanted to emphasise the need to be cautious, because I don't want to see you blocked.

WP:CT/ARBPIA covers in depth why this is a contentious topic, and why limitations are in place around who can edit in this topic area (such as accounts requiring WP:XC status, which is why Aoidh reverted your edits and placed the above notice).

That seems highly strange to take out anything related to this topic. Can you please add it back in on my behalf? Otherwise I’ll just talk to others I know, who are experienced moderators, and ask them to do it. The censorship is out of control at this stage. The 500 edits thing is highly arbitrary. I’ve done nothing to warrant a block or a warning, just posted up FACTS with plenty of SOURCES. I’ve taken screen shots of everything, in case I am blocked. Amelia7117 (talk) 12:11, 20 July 2025 (UTC)
