Introduction to contentious topics
editYou 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 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.

editHi, I noticed your contributions to Nahal Arugot, which appear to be constructive. Thank you for contributing to the expansion of short and stub articles on Wikipedia.
That said, I have noticed that some of the content you added appears to be uncited. We usually require all content and information to be cited to a reliable source. You may wish to explicitly cite the source by putting your source of information about this geographical feature (which doesn't have to be online) into a {{cite}} template. Uncited content, even if it appears to be true and constructive, may be liable to being summarily removed. Thank you and happy editing. Fermiboson (talk) 09:27, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
Non-attributed translations
editThank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you translated text from he:אגם החולה to another page. While you are welcome to translate Wikipedia content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing requires that you provide attribution to the contributor(s) of the original article. When translating from a foreign-language Wikipedia article, this is supplied at a minimum in an edit summary on the page where you add translated content, identifying it as a translation and linking it to the source page. For example:
Content in this edit is translated from the existing French Wikipedia article at [[:fr:Exact name of French article]]; see its history for attribution.
It is good practice, especially if translation is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{translated page}} template on the talk page of the destination article. If you have added translated content previously which was not attributed at the time it was added, you must add attribution retrospectively, even if it was a long time ago. You can read more about author attribution and the reasons for it at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. C F A 💬 03:51, 13 August 2024 (UTC)
- Well I started with a translation but most of the content right now is original content that I wrote and worked on it quite hard... anyway, thank you very much. I will make sure to follow the rules. OdNahlawi (talk) 07:27, 13 August 2024 (UTC)
