Welcome!

Hi Sportsnut24! I noticed your contributions and wanted to welcome you to the Wikipedia community. I hope you like it here and decide to stay.

I've noticed that you've expressed an interest in the Arab–Israeli conflict. Unfortunately, due to a history of conflict and disruptive editing it has been designated a contentious topic and is subject to some strict rules.

The rule that affects you most as a new or IP editor is the prohibition on making any edit related to the Arab–Israel conflict unless you are logged into an account and that account is at least 30 days old and has made at least 500 edits.

This prohibition is broadly construed, so it includes edits such as adding the reaction of a public figure concerning the conflict to their article or noting the position of a company or organization as it relates to the conflict.

The exception to this rule is that you may request a specific change to an article on the talk page of that article or at this page. Please ensure that your requested edit complies with our neutral point of view and reliable sourcing policies, and if the edit is about a living person our policies on biographies of living people as well.

Any edits you make contrary to these rules are likely to be reverted, and repeated violations can lead to you being blocked from editing.

Introduction to contentious topics

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 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.

Important notice

You have recently made edits related to India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. This is a standard message to inform you that India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan is a designated contentious topic. This message does not imply that there are any issues with your editing. For more information about the contentious topics system, please see Wikipedia:Contentious topics.

April 2025

Your recent editing history at 2025 Pahalgam attack shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Disruptive editing

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at 2025 India–Pakistan strikes. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Transgenderoriole (talk) 08:06, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

ITN remark

Hello! While I appreciate your contributions to ITN, your aside remark in your nominating comment appears to me at best shortsighted and at worst transphobic. Wikipedia is a community of diverse editors, and saying such things is seen as disruptive. We are all trying to build an encyclopedia here. -insert valid name here- (talk) 03:00, 25 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm JavaHurricane. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Vijay Rupani, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! Java Hurricane 11:10, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

WP:WEASEL rather than WP:NPOV

I agree with your edit here, but I would have labelled it with WP:WEASEL rather than WP:NPOV. Neutral, umambiguous language is a different thing to NPOV. Boud (talk) 08:29, 18 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Iran—Israel War

Hey there @Sportsnut24,

I’m writing to you because I have noticed your comments in some recent ITN nominations regarding the Iran–Israel War, and was wondering if you could elaborate in some further details about why you oppose it? I’m just curious as you’ve not stated why you oppose the article’s existence and I would like to get an understanding of your stance to help improve the article further.

Kind regards, IiSmxyzXX (talk) 11:22, 18 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Iran–Israel War: be slower and more cautious

You need to move slower and more thoughtfully when editing Iran–Israel war, and you need to be more careful and considerate of prior editing work. Your carelessness is apparent when you make brash, disruptive deletions like this one [1], when you add unformatted sources [2][3], and when you live an astonishing number of typos and grammatical mistakes in your edit summaries [4][5][6] and talk page messages [7][8]. Remember that we are in contentious topics territory, and WP:CTOP applies. JBchrch talk 12:25, 18 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
