You have recently edited a page related to the

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

Thank you! Right now I'm just adding in missing information rather than editing existing info - I hope that's ok! Afdshah (talk) 07:04, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In order to add information to pages within the topic area you need to have the extendedconfirmed privilege (granted after 500 edits and an account age of 30 days). For the time being, until you are extendedconfirmed, you are limited to making edit requests on the article talk pages. See

The reason I notified you is because I noticed edits like this that includes language like 'when a terrorist' using Wikipedia's unattributed editorial voice. This is not normal practice in Wikipedia (see

WP:TERRORIST) so it got my attention. Sean.hoyland (talk) 07:44, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply

I apologize - I was working on adding in the missing info and realize now that I used biased language. I'll work on fixing it all ASAP. Thank you for catching my error Afdshah (talk) 08:37, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I removed all instances of the word "terrorist" from the page. Afdshah (talk) 08:41, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I also removed all relevant instances of the word "terrorist" from the Timeline of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict in 2003. Afdshah (talk) 08:59, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Did you read and understand my statement above "For the time being, until you are extendedconfirmed, you are limited to making edit requests on the article talk pages"? If so, I'm interested in why you are continuing to edit the articles covered by the restriction? I'm not interested in reverting the additions, but I am interested in whether you are able to explain your reasoning? Sean.hoyland (talk) 10:40, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh - I thought you meant only talk pages related to the articles - not the articles themselves - I read you text quickly - my bad!

Is it ok if I continue but add only sources?

I'm just trying to fix these undeveloped pages. Afdshah (talk) 13:54, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
