Introduction to contentious topics

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

your comment was removed from the talk page of

UNRWA October 7 controversy by ScottishFinnishRadish and I can't tell why? Irtapil (talk) 11:11, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply

I will check this! thanks for telling me! GvTara (talk) 00:22, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I removed it because it was a violation of the
WP:ECR sanction on the topic area of the Palestine/Israel conflict. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 00:25, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply

WP:ECR

This is your final warning. If you continue to make edits that violate the

WP:ECR restriction, as you did creating Gan Yavne stabbing attack and with your edit here, you will be blocked from editing. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 10:46, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply
]

I understand the Gan Yavne attack, but why the edit on Universities and antisemitism isn't allowed.. there is no indication that the page is restricted. GvTara (talk) 19:16, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
An edit that contains The meeting reportedly had anti-Israeli biass and Hamas attack on Israel is plainly covered by the Arab/Israel conflict. ECR applies to the entire topic in any article or any page. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 20:40, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Mirrors

Help:Contents/Editing Wikipedia or ask at Wikipedia:New contributors' help page, or just ask me. Thank you. Sam Kuru (talk) 23:42, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply

Wait I have added a reference to [1], I know it was also referenced in the Sibiti River page but why is this reference not acceptable?even if it's used in several article the information comes from the source GvTara (talk) 12:00, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Alchetron is indeed a mirror; a copy of many, if not most, articles in Wikipedia. We cannot use Wikipedia as a source since the material is user-generated. You can use the sources given on another page, as long as they qualify as
WP:RS, but you can't just point to that page or a poor copy of it. Sam Kuru (talk) 20:56, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply

Tip of the month:

  • Use open-access references wherever possible, but a paywalled reliable source
    is better than none, particularly for biographies of living people.
