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 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 Wikipedia;
- 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 Left Guide,
- Hope you're well. Could you explain why you've removed this? I'm citing an article that Sharona Katan has written herself. This is accurate information about her supporting her husband against BDS and so directly relates to the article.
- Looking forward to your response Rabbitsforever (talk) 11:43, 2 November 2024 (UTC)
- I removed the Katan bit because it was political grandstanding, non-neutral, coming from a primary rather than a WP:SECONDARY source. You made sure to include a divisive quote so as to score political points.
- If anything is to be said about the issue, it will come from the viewpoint of uninvolved persons, especially with regard to how the issue affects the career of her husband Jonny Greenwood. Binksternet (talk) 19:43, 2 November 2024 (UTC)
- That is a huge accusation. There are unsubstantiated facts in that section which you left in which I think reflect your political perspective. There are quotes there from primary sources, quotes from Katan. The quote is the most pertinent in the article relating to the article (read the article!)
