Israeli bombing of the Gaza Strip

[edit]

Hello. In June, you changed the infobox here to be materially different than those of the other bombardments mentioned the first paragraph of this article: Hamburg, Dresden, London. Your edit comment refers to Talk, but there was no discussion of this issue there. Would be appreciative if you could fill me in on the rationale for this very obvious inconsistency. Thx.

Your draft article, Draft:Sea Sultan

[edit]

Hello, Vice regent. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "Sea Sultan".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 20:11, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox Template on Israeli Bombing of Gaza

[edit]

Hi VR. Just dropping in to see if I could get your opinion on a new topic on raised on the Israeli bombardment article. It's very connected to the discussion we were having on Dresden, Hamburg, London, etc. Here, I'm pointing out the incongruity of the infobox template. Thx!

Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Palestine-Israel articles 5 closed

[edit]

The arbitration case Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Palestine-Israel articles 5 has now closed and the final decision is viewable at the link above. The following remedies have been enacted:

  • All articles whose topic is strictly within the Arab-Israeli conflict topic area shall be extended confirmed protected by default, without requiring prior disruption on the article.
  • AndreJustAndre, BilledMammal, Iskandar323, Levivich, Makeandtoss, Nableezy, Nishidani, and Selfstudier are indefinitely topic banned from the Palestine-Israel conflict, broadly construed. These restrictions may be appealed twelve months after the enactment of this remedy, and every twelve months thereafter.
  • Zero0000 is warned for their behavior in the Palestine-Israel topic area, which falls short of the conduct expected of an administrator.
  • Should the Arbitration Committee receive a complaint at WP:ARCA about AndreJustAndre, within 12 months of the conclusion of this case, AndreJustAndre may be banned from the English Wikipedia by motion.
  • WP:Contentious topics/Arab–Israeli conflict#Word limits (discretionary) and WP:Contentious topics/Arab–Israeli conflict#Word limits (1,000 words) are both modified to add as a new second sentence to each: Citations and quotations (whether from sources, Wikipedia articles, Wikipedia discussions, or elsewhere) do not count toward the word limit.
  • Any AE report is limited to a max of two parties: the party being reported, and the filer. If additional editors are to be reported, separate AE reports must be opened for each. AE admins may waive this rule if the particular issue warrants doing so.
  • The community is encouraged to run a Request for Comment aimed at better addressing or preventing POV forks, after appropriate workshopping.
  • The Committee recognizes that working at AE can be a thankless and demanding task, especially in the busy PIA topic area. We thus extend our appreciation to the many administrators who have volunteered their time to help out at AE.
  • Editors are reminded that outside actors have a vested interest in this topic area, and might engage in behaviors such as doxxing in an attempt to influence content and editors. The digital security resources page contains information that may help.
  • Within this topic area, the balanced editing restriction is added as one of the sanctions that may be imposed by an individual administrator or rough consensus of admins at AE.
Details of the balanced editing restriction
  • In a given 30-day period, a user under this restriction is limited to making no more than one-third of their edits in the Article, Talk, Draft, and Draft talk namespaces to pages that are subject to the extended-confirmed restriction under Arab–Israeli conflict contentious topic procedures.
    • This will be determined by an edit filter that tracks edits to pages in these namespaces that are extended confirmed protected, or are talk pages of such pages, and are tagged with templates to be designated by the arbitration clerks. Admins are encouraged to apply these templates when protecting a page, and the clerks may use scripts or bots to add these templates to pages where the protection has been correctly logged, and may make any necessary changes in the technical implementation of this remedy in the future.
    • Making an edit in excess of this restriction, as determined at the time the edit is made, should be treated as if it were a topic ban violation. Admins should note that a restricted user effectively cannot violate the terms of this and above clauses until at least 30 days after the sanction has been imposed.
  • They are topic banned from the Arab–Israeli conflict, broadly construed, in all namespaces other than these four (except for their own userspace and user talkspace).
  • This sanction is not subject to the normal standards of evidence for disruptive editing; it simply requires a finding that it would be a net positive for the project were the user to lower their activity in the topic area, particularly where an editor has repeatedly engaged in conflict but is not being intentionally or egregiously disruptive.
  • Any admin finding a user in violation of this restriction may, at their discretion, impose other contentious topic sanctions.
  • If a sockpuppet investigations clerk or member of the CheckUser team feels that third-party input is not helpful at an investigation, they are encouraged to use their existing authority to ask users to stop posting to that investigation or to SPI as a whole. In addition to clerks and members of the CheckUser team, patrolling administrators may remove or collapse contributions that impede the efficient resolution of investigations without warning.

Curious

[edit]

On the Gaza bombing article, what is your basic argument as to why, from an encyclopedic perspective, the article should focus so heavily on those WWII comparisons? I understand there may be reasons you can find with respect to WP guidelines, but I'm very interested in the argument on the merits if you would indulge me. As you know, my own view is that the comparison is extremely weak given the difference in fatalities. Any insight appreciated.Johnadams11 (talk) 17:09, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Johnadams11 I don't think it should "focus so heavily on those WWII comparisons". I think it should "briefly mention those WWII comparisons, but focus instead of the 2023-2025 events." VR (Please ping on reply) 20:59, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Vice regent. You and I collaborate well. Thanks. Would love to see what you're thinking here. My own opinion is that the comparison should appear later in the article as it is a somewhat interesting contextual point. A good example of this kind of treatment is here, in the article about the Rolling Thunder Operation in Vietnam -- which BTW, was a far larger bombing in terms of tonnage, and was far larger than any that preceded it (including Dresden, Hamburg, London, etc.) Johnadams11 (talk) 21:54, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I want to make significant improvements to that article overall. I've started reading sources on it. Feel free to leave recommendations below. I'll try to get it to when I can.VR (Please ping on reply) 03:43, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

RfC Closure

[edit]

@Vice regentHey VR. Just dropping in to start to gather some opinion on the RfC going on in the Gaza bombing article. I believe we now have consensus, and wanted your opinion. No rush of course. Johnadams11 (talk) 03:33, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the heads up. 5 out of 7 users who commented support removing it from the lead, so that does look like consensus for removal from lead. However, most of the comments were made in the last week. We should wait until comments stop coming in (say a week without any comments) before evaluating consensus.VR (Please ping on reply) 04:50, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Vice regent As we go on, please consider WP:Bludgeoning if thinking about commenting further. With the exception of me, I believe you've engaged with near everyone who's disagreed with you. Johnadams11 (talk) 00:41, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
