Introduction to contentious topics[edit]

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, 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 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.

Thank you for your edits at Olivia Frank[edit]

Please be aware of the relevant restrictions above, particularly concerning the I/P conflict.

I like your edits, but am slightly confused why you removed this reference? FortunateSons (talk) 14:04, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

thanks for letting me know about the policy.

i changed the reference from a Tablet article generally about Hoffmann to the specific Tablet article that covers Frank saying she recognized Hoffman.

just realized the first link was there because that was the actual Tablet article she read where she recognized Hoffman. i don't think that was clear before.

perhaps it should be a note rather than the reference? For example, "This is the Tablet article where she recognized Hoffman." Rainsage (talk) 15:57, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
