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

The alert above indicates that you must have
Arab-Israeli conflict topic area, that is why your edits were reverted. You only have 105 edits. This also applies to discussions. Philipnelson99 (talk) 02:55, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply

@ScottishFinnishRadish feel free to correct me if this is wrong. Philipnelson99 (talk) 02:58, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You are correct. If you look in the edit summaries on that page, it says ECR in the reversions. JM (talk) 03:22, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, thanks for answering. Is this policy officially written out somewhere, e.g. in a WP: page?

At Weaponization of antisemitism article, you can see that the CT procedure advised above applies, so you may only make edit requests as explained in

WP:ARBECR. You have twice used the edit request template for things that are not edit requests. Please only ask for things that can be expressed as replace X with Y or equivalent. No argument is necessary, ECR editors will decide whether to carry out an edit request, anything complicated is likely to not get done. Thanks. Selfstudier (talk) 17:14, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply

Ah, my apologies. I thought that when you said "this isn't an edit request" here, you were referring to the absence of the {Edit extended-protected} tag. This is why I re-submitted the new request here with the tag. Now I understand that you made the that statement referring to the wording of the request. Just writing this out here to clarify what had happened. spintheer (talk) 18:04, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Persistent breach of ARBECR

Kindly desist from making any further comments about, or discussing about, or arguing against Arbpia/CT when, for contentious topics, as a non EC editor you are specifically permitted only to use talkspace for edit requests and nothing else. Selfstudier (talk) 17:16, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, will do. Thank you for the notice. spintheer (talk) 17:27, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
