ARBPIA alert

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in the Arab–Israeli conflict. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Misplaced Pages's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

What does this box mean? חוקרת (talk) 10:36, 6 April 2022 (UTC)

It means that now you have been informed that there are special rules about editing content which is related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict broadly construed. You need to have 30 days tenure and 500 edits first. In the opinion of many, the use of Arabic in place names belongs to the area covered. Zero 10:39, 6 April 2022 (UTC)

What do you mean special rules? חוקרת (talk) 10:41, 6 April 2022 (UTC)

Study this. Zero 10:44, 6 April 2022 (UTC)

And why are there special rules here and not on other topics? חוקרת (talk) 10:45, 6 April 2022 (UTC)

See WP:DSTOPICS for a long list of topics that have special considerations. These topics are on the list due to extensive disputes and disruptive editing. Zero 12:47, 6 April 2022 (UTC)

Welcome חוקרת!

I'm Sm8900, one of the other editors here, and I hope you decide to stay and help contribute to this amazing repository of knowledge.

Alternatively, leave me a message at my talk page or type {{helpme}} here on your talk page and someone will try to help.

To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own personal sandbox for use any time. It's perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.

Please remember to:

• Always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes ~~~~ at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to your talk page, and a timestamp.
• Leave descriptive edit summaries for your edits. Doing so helps other editors understand what changes you have made and why you made them.
  

Sincerely, Sm8900 (talk) 14:14, 9 May 2022 (UTC)   (Leave me a message)

DYK for Kurt Weigelt

On 24 May 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Kurt Weigelt, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Nazi war criminal Kurt Weigelt could not be directly employed by Deutsche Bank after World War II, so he reestablished Lufthansa? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Kurt Weigelt. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Kurt Weigelt), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Thank you, and this is also featured on Portal:Germany. Nice to meet you! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 04:35, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

Hello there, I am thrilled so much you enjoyed my page! חוקרת (Researcher) (talk) 15:26, 25 May 2022 (UTC)

... and the stats were also thrilling, - I bet my friend Claudia will come around to say so more formally. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:26, 26 May 2022 (UTC)

I'm jewish, mother's israeli — but apparently someone forgot to tell my programs that, because it probably has no idea how to handle hebrew text. I bestow upon thee:

		Hook update
		Your hook reached 17,064 views (711.0 per hour), making it one of the most viewed hooks of May 2022 – nice work!

I wasn't thinking it would be seen that many times. I apologize for the trouble of Hebrew letters in my username, I created my account on the Hebrew Misplaced Pages and the interface there is in Hebrew. חוקרת (Researcher) (talk) 07:13, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
