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, Misplaced Pages’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Misplaced Pages 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 Misplaced Pages;
  • 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 500 edits and an account age of 30 days, and are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on a 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.

Was just coming here to do this, too. Sorry for the template, Govvy, it's what lets other editors see that you've been made aware so they won't retemplate you. Valereee (talk) 12:31, 15 October 2024 (UTC)
@TarnishedPath and Valereee:, my post was in regards to a YouTube video, I don't know why the post was removed from the talk page. O and TarnishedPath, why posted the Arab–Israeli conflict above, when my post was itself related to the topic of Zionism. What you did was a shutdown on the topic I opened up about content on the page. This effectively leaves up a false statement on the main page. Zionists wanted to create a Jewish state in Palestine. This is an erroneous statement, the land is the Levant, and not Palestine. There never was a Palestine. British Palestinian Mandate was the division of the Levant. Govvy (talk) 16:29, 15 October 2024 (UTC)
Govvy, the entire talk page is about that. Please read the talk page so you can understand what's been discussed. Valereee (talk) 22:24, 15 October 2024 (UTC)
@Valereee: Zionism is about a people returning to their homeland, this is not about a conflict to say an entire page is about a conflict is wrong. @TarnishedPath: Why did you template my page exactly? Because that template is regarding new editors to[REDACTED] and those edits to actual pages and not about starting conversation on talk pages. Again, all as I ask is for an apology.
