Talk List of Countries Ranked by Ethnic & Cultural Diversity Level.

Referring to the original data from Fearon cited here - https://www.atlasandboots.com/worlds-most-diverse-country/ - I realised that Tunisia and Israel had been swapped. This seems to me to be a wilful violation. Should the page be locked?CelebrateIsrael (talk) 03:45, 6 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

ARBPIA3

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. The Arbitration Committee has limited the accounts that may edit articles in the Arab-Israeli topic area to editors with 500 edits and 30 days of tenure. You can read about this here: WP:ARBPIA3#500/30. Your edits to Ofra violate that restriction. Please edit in other topics to gain an understanding of Wikipedia policies on content prior to editing in the Arab-Israeli conflict topic area. Thank you for your cooperation. nableezy - 17:11, 10 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Also, while you're reading that, please familiarize yourself with WP:WESTBANK, saying that the West Bank is known by "its original name Judea and Samaria" violates that naming convention. nableezy - 17:16, 10 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Discretionary sanctions alert for articles and content relating to the Arab-Israeli conflict

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have recently shown interest in the Arab–Israeli conflict. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect: any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or any page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

First Temple era seals are not archaeological evidence for a structure

I'm not clear why you think they are, but they simply aren't. We'd expect evidence of floors, walls etc. That's what archaeologists look for. Doug Weller talk 11:23, 30 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

A blog, even if by a well known archaeological architect, is not a reliable source

Nor in fact are newspapers, particularly in a such a politically sensitive area. We really need peer reviewed publications, and even then if one of them said "Three Jewish ritual baths show definitive proof" we'd have to attribute the statement to someone. That's the way we work. See WP:VERIFY and WP:RS. I have no idea why it's claimed that Roman or Byzantine era floors show the Jewish origin of the Temple Mount (there could have been earlier pre-Jewish structures under them).

WP:ARBPIA3#500/30

I see that you have been warned about WP:ARBPIA3#500/30 above.

If you insists on editing articles under this rule, such as Al-'Abbasiyya again, before you have 500 edits, then you will be reported to WP:AE, and then you can be expected to be blocked, Huldra (talk) 20:25, 30 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"Semantic changes"

I totally understand where you're coming from, but a neutral encyclopedia cannot say in its own voice that Leuchter is "notorious" or that Mullins "claimed" he went to school at Ohio State. Please read WP:Weasel words and WP:Neutral point of view, and please do not make any further disruptive "semantic changes". Continuing this behavior can lead to being blocked from further editing.

ARBPIA3

If you continue to edit articles you are prohibited from editing I will ask that you be blocked from editing. Please abide by the repeated notices and warnings about editing in the Arab-Israeli conflict topic area. Thank you, nableezy - 18:21, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Warning

Despite repeated notifications, you are still making prohibited edits, such as in your recent removal of content from Hadassah medical convoy massacre. Please note that all accounts with fewer than 500 edits are not permitted to edit articles related to the Palestine-Israel conflict. If you persist in flouting this ruling, your account is likely to be blocked from editing any article. RolandR (talk) 15:01, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You must follow these page-specific restrictions until you have 500 edits

For the purposes of editing restrictions in the ARBPIA topic area, the "area of conflict" shall be defined as encompassing

the entire set of articles whose topic relates to the Arab-Israeli conflict, broadly interpreted ("primary articles"), and
edits relating to the Arab-Israeli conflict, to pages and discussions in all namespaces with the exception of userspace ("related content")

Also,

500/30 Rule: All IP editors, users with fewer than 500 edits, and users with less than 30 days' tenure are prohibited from editing content within the area of conflict. On primary articles, this prohibition is preferably to be enforced by use of extended confirmed protection (ECP) but this is not mandatory. On pages with related content, or on primary articles where ECP is not feasible, the 500/30 Rule may be enforced by other methods, including page protection, reverts, blocks, the use of pending changes, and appropriate edit filters. Reverts made solely to enforce the 500/30 Rule are not considered edit warring.

The sole exceptions to this prohibition are:

1. Editors who are not eligible to be extended-confirmed may use the Talk: namespace to post constructive comments and make edit requests related to articles within the topic area, provided they are not disruptive. Talk pages where disruption occurs may be managed by any of the methods noted in paragraph b). This exception does not apply to other internal project discussions such as AfDs, WikiProjects, RfCs, noticeboard discussions, etc.

2. Editors who are not eligible to be extended-confirmed 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 editors who do not meet the criteria is permitted but not required. Doug Weller talk 15:43, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

3. One Revert Restriction (1RR): Each editor is limited to one revert per page per 24 hours on any edits made to content within the area of conflict. Reverts made to enforce the 500/30 Rule are exempt from the provisions of this motion. Also, the normal exemptions apply. Editors who violate this restriction may be blocked by any uninvolved administrator.

Note that this means your edits on such pages (which you aren't yet eligible to make) may be reverted by anyone at any time. These restrictions are stricter than those in most other areas because of the problems that we've had in this area.

I will enforce this. Doug Weller talk 15:43, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
