The contentious topics procedure applies to this article. This article is related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, which is a contentious topic. Furthermore, the following rules apply when editing this article:
You must be logged-in and extended-confirmed to edit or discuss this topic on any page (except for making edit requests, provided they are not disruptive)
You may not make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on any edits related to this topic
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. Citations and quotations (whether from sources, Wikipedia articles, Wikipedia discussions, or elsewhere) do not count toward the word limit.
The exceptions to the extended confirmed restriction are:
Non-extended-confirmed editors may use the "Talk:" namespace only to make edit requests related to articles within the topic area, provided they are not disruptive.
Non-extended-confirmed editors may not create new articles, but administrators may exercise discretion when deciding how to enforce this remedy on article creations. Deletion of new articles created by non-extended-confirmed editors is permitted but not required.
With respect to the WP:1RR restriction:
Clear vandalism of whatever origin may be reverted without restriction. Also, reverts made solely to enforce the extended confirmed restriction are not considered edit warring.
Editors who violate this restriction may be blocked by any uninvolved administrator, even on a first offence.
Editors who violate any listed restrictions may be blocked by any uninvolved administrator, even on a first offense.
An editor must be aware before they can be sanctioned.
With respect to any reverting restrictions:
Edits made solely to enforce any clearly established consensus are exempt from all edit-warring restrictions. In order to be considered "clearly established" the consensus must be proven by prior talk-page discussion.
Edits made which remove or otherwise change any material placed by clearly established consensus, without first obtaining consensus to do so, may be treated in the same manner as clear vandalism.
Clear vandalism of any origin may be reverted without restriction.
Reverts of edits made by anonymous (IP) editors that are not vandalism are exempt from the 1RR but are subject to the usual rules on edit warring. If you are in doubt, contact an administrator for assistance.
If you are unsure if your edit is appropriate, discuss it here on this talk page first. Remember: When in doubt, don't revert!
Please stay calm and civil while commenting or presenting evidence, and do not make personal attacks. Be patient when approaching solutions to any issues. Ifconsensus is not reached, other solutions exist to draw attention and ensure that more editors mediate or comment on the dispute.

The international community UNANIMOUSLY considers the Golan Heights as Syrian territory which has been illegally occupied by the IDF.
its not "widely" considered.
every single UN member state, with the exception of the USA believe this territory to be occupied Syrian Territory.
All these states demand that israel relinquish the land and return it to Syria and they consider it an illegal occupation of Syrian territory. 37.39.205.138 (talk) 08:31, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
See if we can find some sourcing for this, I am inclined to agree in general. The US position is odd, since they are still signed on to a UN resolution stipulating occupation. Selfstudier (talk) 10:52, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hard to find sourcing that says anything other than "most" eg AP or BBC and I guess most ~= widely. Perhaps there are sources saying recognized only by the US or something like that.
Where's the source for this claim? Even a compilation of sources?
Without sources this is simply a claim, and one that seems extreme. I cannot, for instance, find after short search any indication of Ukraine's position on the Heights, and suspect that unless there is a UN record of a vote, there are other nations with no or an ambiguous position.
As well I would note that a previously expressed position is not necessarily the official position of current governments, and language should reflect that. KenThomas (talk) 05:52, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Some sort of reference to the current Israeli offensive into Syria (launched from the Golan heights, nominally to secure it) should be mentioned, no? 86.80.19.15 (talk) 01:32, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
