== Arbitration motions regarding ''Palestine-Israel articles'' ==

The Arbitration Committee has resolved by motion that:
;]:
{{ivmbox|When imposing a ] under the ], an uninvolved administrator may require that appeals be heard only by the Arbitration Committee. In such cases, the committee will hear appeals at ARCA according to the ]. A rough consensus of arbitrators will be required to overturn or amend the sanction.}}

;]:
{{ivmbox|Uninvolved administrators may impose word limits on all participants in a discussion, or on individual editors across all discussions, within the area of conflict. These word limits are designated as part of the ] of restrictions within the ]. These restrictions must be logged and may be appealed in the same way as all contentious topic restrictions.}}

;]:
{{ivmbox|All participants in formal discussions (RfCs, RMs, etc) within the area of conflict are urged to keep their comments concise, and are limited to 1,000 words per discussion. This motion will ] two years from the date of its passage.}}

;]:
{{ivmbox|1=Following a request at ], the Arbitration Committee directs its clerks to open a case to examine the interaction of specific editors in the ] topic area. Subject to amendment by the drafting arbitrators, the following rules will govern the case:
* The case title will be '']''.
* The initial parties will be:
**{{User|BilledMammal}}
**{{User|Iskandar323}}
**{{User|Levivich}}
**{{User|Nableezy}}
**{{User|PeleYoetz}}
**{{User|Selfstudier}}
**{{User|האופה}}
* {{U|Aoidh}} will be the initial drafter
* The case will progress at the usual time table, unless additional parties are added or the complexity of the case warrants additional time for drafting a proposed decision, in which case the drafters may choose to extend the timeline.
* All case pages are to be semi-protected.
* Private evidence will be accepted. Any case submissions involving non-public information, including off-site accounts, should be directed to the Arbitration Committee by email to {{nospam|Arbcom-en|wikimedia.org}}. Any links to the English Misplaced Pages submitted as part of private evidence will be aggregated and posted on the evidence page. Any private evidence that is used to support a proposal (a finding of fact or remedy) or is otherwise deemed relevant to the case will be provided to affected parties when possible (evidence of off-wiki harassment may not be shared). Affected parties will be given an opportunity to respond.}}

;Addendum
In passing motion #5 to open a ''Palestine-Israel articles 5'' case, the Committee has appointed three drafters: ], ], and ]. The drafters have resolved that the case will open on November 30. The delay will allow the Committee time to resolve a related private matter, and allow for both outgoing and incoming Arbitrators to vote on the case. The drafters have changed the party list to the following individuals:

* {{User|BilledMammal}}
* {{User|Iskandar323}}
* {{User|Ïvana}}
* {{User|Levivich}}
* {{User|Nableezy}}
* {{User|Selfstudier}}
* {{User|האופה}}
* {{User|AndreJustAndre}}
* {{User|IOHANNVSVERVS}}
* {{User|Alaexis}}
* {{User|Zero0000}}
* {{User|Makeandtoss}}
* {{User|Snowstormfigorion}}

The drafters reserve the right to amend the list of parties if necessary. The drafters anticipate that the case will include a two week evidence phase, a one week workshop phase, and a two week proposed decision phase.

The related '']'' request has been folded into this case. Evidence from the related private matter, as alluded to in the '']'' case request, will be examined prior to the start of the case, and resolved separately.

First, '''the Committee will accept submissions for new parties for the next three days''', until '''23:59, 10 December 2024 (UTC)'''. Anyone who wishes to suggest a party to the case may do so by creating a new section on ], providing a reason with ] as to why the user should be added, and notifying the user. After the three-day period ends, no further submission of parties will be considered except in exceptional circumstances. Because the Committee only hears disputes that have failed to be resolved by the usual means, proposed parties should have been recently taken to AE/AN/ANI, and either not sanctioned, or incompletely sanctioned. If a proposed party has not been taken to AE/AN/ANI, evidence is needed as to why such an attempt would have been ineffective.

== Subtle vandalism in Articles related to Israel ==

In this edit https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Golan_Heights&diff=prev&oldid=1261573062 You seem to, again, have distorted information based on the need for Lead brevity. This edit makes it sound like Israel have controlled 2/3 or the Golan heights since 1967. You have done the same in these edits: https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Israel&diff=prev&oldid=1263209557 , https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Israel&diff=prev&oldid=1263209396 , https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Israel&diff=prev&oldid=1250163530 , https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=October_2024_Iranian_strikes_against_Israel&diff=prev&oldid=1250430982 , https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Hamas&diff=prev&oldid=1251828828 , and possibly more.
These edits all have one thing in common, they remove key information from a lead in an Article relating to Israel. I find it hard to imagine this as a coincidence. None of them are reasonably justified or involved any discussion. ] (]) 14:55, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

:I came here after seeing your edit summary on ], which seemed a bit out of the blue. Having now seen the diffs, the majority of these edits all seem perfectly fine and defensible. I'd agree with most of them on the basis of being concise alone. Your 2/3 comment is strange, since surely it's more favourable to Israel to say it occupied less of a given territory for that whole time than to say they occupied all of it but gave some back a while later? I don't object to your edit, but I'm not sure it's evidence of bias, at any rate.
:Sorry for butting in, but this seems like a misunderstanding? ] (]) 19:28, 15 December 2024 (UTC)
:{{u|Terrainman}}, what you find hard to imagine is your problem, not Misplaced Pages's, and not something you need to be bothering other editors about. If you disagree with an edit, you know what to do, open a discussion on the talk page of the article. Also, read ] and only use the word vandalism to describe vandalism. ] (]) 02:05, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

When imposing a contentious topic restriction under the Arab-Israeli conflict contentious topic, an uninvolved administrator may require that appeals be heard only by the Arbitration Committee. In such cases, the committee will hear appeals at ARCA according to the community review standard. A rough consensus of arbitrators will be required to overturn or amend the sanction.

Motion 2b: Word limits

Uninvolved administrators may impose word limits on all participants in a discussion, or on individual editors across all discussions, within the area of conflict. These word limits are designated as part of the standard set of restrictions within the Arab-Israeli conflict contentious topic. These restrictions must be logged and may be appealed in the same way as all contentious topic restrictions.

Motion 2c: Word limits

All participants in formal discussions (RfCs, RMs, etc) within the area of conflict are urged to keep their comments concise, and are limited to 1,000 words per discussion. This motion will sunset two years from the date of its passage.

Motion 5: PIA5 Case

Following a request at WP:ARCA, the Arbitration Committee directs its clerks to open a case to examine the interaction of specific editors in the WP:PIA topic area. Subject to amendment by the drafting arbitrators, the following rules will govern the case:

  • The case title will be Palestine-Israel articles 5.
  • The initial parties will be:
  • Aoidh will be the initial drafter
  • The case will progress at the usual time table, unless additional parties are added or the complexity of the case warrants additional time for drafting a proposed decision, in which case the drafters may choose to extend the timeline.
  • All case pages are to be semi-protected.
  • Private evidence will be accepted. Any case submissions involving non-public information, including off-site accounts, should be directed to the Arbitration Committee by email to Arbcom-en@wikimedia.org. Any links to the English Misplaced Pages submitted as part of private evidence will be aggregated and posted on the evidence page. Any private evidence that is used to support a proposal (a finding of fact or remedy) or is otherwise deemed relevant to the case will be provided to affected parties when possible (evidence of off-wiki harassment may not be shared). Affected parties will be given an opportunity to respond.
Addendum

In passing motion #5 to open a Palestine-Israel articles 5 case, the Committee has appointed three drafters: Aoidh, HJ Mitchell, and CaptainEek. The drafters have resolved that the case will open on November 30. The delay will allow the Committee time to resolve a related private matter, and allow for both outgoing and incoming Arbitrators to vote on the case. The drafters have changed the party list to the following individuals:

The drafters reserve the right to amend the list of parties if necessary. The drafters anticipate that the case will include a two week evidence phase, a one week workshop phase, and a two week proposed decision phase.

The related Arbitration enforcement referral: Nableezy et al request has been folded into this case. Evidence from the related private matter, as alluded to in the Covert canvassing and proxying in the Israel-Arab conflict topic area case request, will be examined prior to the start of the case, and resolved separately.

Palestine-Israel articles 5 updates

You are receiving this message because you are on the update list for Palestine-Israel articles 5. The drafters note that the scope of the case was somewhat unclear, and clarify that the scope is The interaction of named parties in the WP:PIA topic area and examination of the WP:AE process that led to two referrals to WP:ARCA. Because this was unclear, two changes are being made:

First, the Committee will accept submissions for new parties for the next three days, until 23:59, 10 December 2024 (UTC). Anyone who wishes to suggest a party to the case may do so by creating a new section on the evidence talk page, providing a reason with WP:DIFFS as to why the user should be added, and notifying the user. After the three-day period ends, no further submission of parties will be considered except in exceptional circumstances. Because the Committee only hears disputes that have failed to be resolved by the usual means, proposed parties should have been recently taken to AE/AN/ANI, and either not sanctioned, or incompletely sanctioned. If a proposed party has not been taken to AE/AN/ANI, evidence is needed as to why such an attempt would have been ineffective.

Second, the evidence phase has been extended by a week, and will now close at 23:59, 21 December 2024 (UTC). For the Arbitration Committee, HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 03:20, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

Subtle vandalism in Articles related to Israel

In this edit https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Golan_Heights&diff=prev&oldid=1261573062 You seem to, again, have distorted information based on the need for Lead brevity. This edit makes it sound like Israel have controlled 2/3 or the Golan heights since 1967. You have done the same in these edits: https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Israel&diff=prev&oldid=1263209557 , https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Israel&diff=prev&oldid=1263209396 , https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Israel&diff=prev&oldid=1250163530 , https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=October_2024_Iranian_strikes_against_Israel&diff=prev&oldid=1250430982 , https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Hamas&diff=prev&oldid=1251828828 , and possibly more. These edits all have one thing in common, they remove key information from a lead in an Article relating to Israel. I find it hard to imagine this as a coincidence. None of them are reasonably justified or involved any discussion. 𝙏𝙚𝙧𝙧𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙢𝙖𝙣地形人 (talk) 14:55, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

I came here after seeing your edit summary on Golan Heights, which seemed a bit out of the blue. Having now seen the diffs, the majority of these edits all seem perfectly fine and defensible. I'd agree with most of them on the basis of being concise alone. Your 2/3 comment is strange, since surely it's more favourable to Israel to say it occupied less of a given territory for that whole time than to say they occupied all of it but gave some back a while later? I don't object to your edit, but I'm not sure it's evidence of bias, at any rate.
Sorry for butting in, but this seems like a misunderstanding? Lewisguile (talk) 19:28, 15 December 2024 (UTC)
Terrainman, what you find hard to imagine is your problem, not Misplaced Pages's, and not something you need to be bothering other editors about. If you disagree with an edit, you know what to do, open a discussion on the talk page of the article. Also, read WP:VANDAL and only use the word vandalism to describe vandalism.
