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 an expanded level of powers and discretion 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 practices;
• 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.

Hi @Butterscotch Beluga, please can you explain why you reverted my comment on Relations between Nazi Germany and the Arab world due to a violation of the Arab-Israel content restrictions? Obviously I understand that a lot of the Husseini stuff is a point of discourse, but what I wrote is not related to anything with that. It's discussing Hitler and Mussolini and the Arabs, which is obviously a small-c contentious matter, but I don't see where my comment specifically relates to the Arab-Israeli conflict. I note that the talk page notice states that only parts of the article relate to the Contentious Topic area. Please could you elaborate? Thanks! Meluiel (talk) 01:20, 22 December 2024 (UTC)

You are correct & I misread the context. Apologies, I will reinstate your comment in a moment. Butterscotch Beluga (talk) 01:28, 22 December 2024 (UTC)

Thank you :) Meluiel (talk) 01:31, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
