Introduction to contentious topics[edit]

You have recently edited a page related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic designated as contentious. This standard message is designed as an 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.

Hi Nitaverna, please note that the "500 edits" restriction described in the blue box above applies to internal discussions such as deletion discussions and requested move discussions too. See WP:A/I/PIA and WP:ARBECR for details. Best regards, ~ ToBeFree (talk) 23:59, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'll keep that in mind next-time. Nitaverna (talk) 18:43, 18 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

OT - Homelessness[edit]

Currently facing homelessness after being faced with court and me reaching the age of majority, being 18.

I currently have no resources, no job, lost contact with friends, nothing. Nobody has been willing to assist me and the few that i knew have turned against me.

I'm unsure of what to do and am overall apathetic, as i've lost everyone and everything i cared about in the span of about 2 days.

any help is appreciated, any guidance as well.
