The contentious topics procedure applies to this article. This article is related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, which is a contentious topic. Furthermore, the following rules apply when editing this article:

You must be logged-in and extended-confirmed to edit or discuss this topic on any page (except for making edit requests, provided they are not disruptive)

All participants in formal discussions (RfCs, RMs, etc) within the area of conflict are urged to keep their comments concise, and are limited to 1,000 words per discussion.

Further information

The exceptions to the extended confirmed restriction are:

Non-extended-confirmed editors may use the "Talk:" namespace only to make edit requests related to articles within the topic area, provided they are not disruptive.
Non-extended-confirmed editors may not create new articles, but administrators may exercise discretion when deciding how to enforce this remedy on article creations. Deletion of new articles created by non-extended-confirmed editors is permitted but not required.

With respect to the WP:1RR restriction:

Clear vandalism of whatever origin may be reverted without restriction. Also, reverts made solely to enforce the extended confirmed restriction are not considered edit warring.
Editors who violate this restriction may be blocked by any uninvolved administrator, even on a first offence.

After being warned, contentious topics procedure can be used against any editor who repeatedly or seriously fails to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behaviour, or any normal editorial process. Contentious topic sanctions can include blocks, topic-bans, or other restrictions.
Editors may report violations of these restrictions to the Arbitration enforcement noticeboard.

If you are unsure if your edit is appropriate, discuss it here on this talk page first. When in doubt, don't revert!

Split Proposal

I think the article should be split for MV FRANCOP itself and operation "Four Species".

International reaction in the article about cargo ship looks funny. Shmuliko (talk) 06:43, 6 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think that MV FRANCOP is not notable except in context of the operation, therefore I suggest merging this article into Operation "Four Species".Marokwitz (talk) 07:57, 8 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This of course should be merged into the Operation Four Species article. This random freighter in notable except in the context of the operation.ShamWow (talk) 17:23, 8 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, Merge.--brew crewer (yada, yada) 03:27, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Legal Basis

Is there any information on what legal basis Israel seized this ship outside of their territorial waters? Wefa (talk) 17:23, 8 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This is not a forum. Though this info about illegal weapons trafficking, by Iran, should be inserted into either of the articles. --Shuki (talk) 18:19, 8 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm quite aware of that. Nonetheless information like that should be in the article, if there are reliable sources for it. I looked for it myself but didn't find any - so instead of dropping the matter I simply asked here. Anybody seen any kind of article or quotable explanantion on what law Israel based this raid?

Gruby byl kiedys

What does "Gruby byl kiedys na tym statku ale nei znalazl broni bo jest pipa nie komandos." mean? --Smoggyrob | Talk 01:51, 8 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

article about ship not the affair, cats should be removed

Keeping the cats is making this article redundant. As it is the 'Boarding incident' section should be cut to the lead paragraph, there is a main article about the affair. --Shuki (talk) 18:40, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
