Gaza war

Welcome (again) to Wiki, Mr Unsigned Anon. I'd remind you to please remain mindful of policies when engaging controversial content. I note that when another editor attacked you personally you remained calm, glad to see that. Policy will eventually prevail. I also want to suggest you that on this page you try to make edits that source and reflect perspective from both sides of the conflict, even though not all editors follow this guideline. Respectfully, RomaC (talk) 05:22, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

Notice of discretionary sanctions

As a result of the Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Palestine-Israel articles, the Arbitration committee has acknowledged long-term and persistent problems in the editing of articles related to Israel, Palestine, and related conflicts. As a result, the Committee has enacted broad editing restrictions, described here. These editing restrictions may be applied to any editor for cause, provided the editor has been previously informed of the case. This message is to so inform you.

October 2009

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Gaza War, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Stop reverting the edits of Jiujitsuguy (talk · contribs). Instead of reverting his/her edit, why not just add yours to the article.

Disengaging from disputes

(duplicate message to both editors) Please take a moment to step back from this dispute. The only thing you will accomplish by editwarring and/or reacting to each other is gaining a reputation and possibly a block. The most important thing to remember about Wikipedia is, "There is no deadline." Here are a couple of things that might help: Try not to engage in the same dispute on the same article more that once or twice a day. Let other editors weigh in. Never direct your argument at a particular editor. Dispute facts, not 'POV'. Never allow yourself to be baited into making a personal attack, because YOU will be the one who gets admonished by the powers that be. The admins aren't there to make the articles accurate, and rarely have time to learn enough about a subject to judge context and undue weight issues, all they see is breaking rules, ie. reverting and incivility. Articles like the Gaza War change and shift constantly, and what it looks like right now is not as important as what will be gained and protected by forming a strong consensus for it. So, please, be the bigger person, work for long-term consensus respectfully on the talkpage (even if you don't think the other editor deserves it), and discover other pages that interest you. I started Wikipedia with some of the same issues and another wise editor gave me some invaluable advice here. Good luck! untwirl(talk) 19:10, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

I reverted your changes before getting your message on my talk. Per WP:TALK, moving and deleting other people's comments is generally frowned upon. Please don't do it. Tiamut^talk 13:13, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
