Welcome!
Hi CPDJay! I noticed your contributions and wanted to welcome you to the Wikipedia community. I hope you like it here and decide to stay.
As you get started, you may find this short tutorial helpful:
Alternatively, the contributing to Wikipedia page covers the same topics.

Sues Canal massacre
Hello sir, if you go to the pages of Yom Kippur War and see the Egyptian atrocities you will find the references. Also for the Ras Sedr Massacre page when the reference of Egyptian officers admitting killings of Israeli prisoners in retaliation to the killings of Egyptian pows in previous wars. VictoriousSkull (talk) 14:03, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
- If you find the references there, please add them. It is the responsibility of new article creator to go out there and find sources for their article. The guideline is that every information on Wikipedia must be referenced to credible and easily verifiable sources. CPDJay (talk) 14:20, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
Movement of new page
Is there a particular reason for moving the McArthur page to draft? VaguelyNorthern (talk) 13:19, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
- It needs more independent secondary sources as the current sources are primary sources CPDJay (talk) 13:25, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
Introduction to contentious topics
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.

A bowl of strawberries for you!
| Thanks for your major improvements to Ọbádélé Bakari Kambon. I found them while looking through the log of drafts I rejected, and the article looks much better now. —pythoncoder (talk | contribs) 19:00, 27 February 2026 (UTC) |

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Otis Rolley, you may be blocked from editing. Borgensanal (talk) 20:13, 2 March 2026 (UTC)

Hello CPDJay. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Otis Rolley, gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being employed (or being compensated in any way) by a person, group, company or organization to promote their interests. Paid advocacy on Wikipedia must be disclosed even if you have not specifically been asked to edit Wikipedia. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.
Paid advocates are strongly discouraged from direct article editing and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.
Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:CPDJay. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=CPDJay|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. Borgensanal (talk) 20:13, 2 March 2026 (UTC)
