Important Notice

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 shown interest in post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people. 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 the 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.

August 2020

Hello, I'm Doug Weller. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Rose City Antifa seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. We can't call claims of assaults fact without a clearcut decision through the legal system. Doug Weller talk 10:25, 8 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You're bullshit but ok... Stephanejgroulx (talk) 16:00, 8 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at YouTube headquarters shooting. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. DB1729^talk 13:41, 13 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome!

Hi Stephanejgroulx! 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, including discussing articles on talk pages, 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 an expanded level of powers and discretion 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 practices;
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 any 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.

Thank you, What's next, will my request be reviewed further? Stephanejgroulx (talk) 18:10, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That is up to the extended-confirmed editors at the talk page. I expect it won't see much attention as it was obviously written by an LLM. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 18:19, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate you responding so quickly and being polite about it. I’ve never submitted such a request before in this way. Despite having used AI to check my grammar, spell checking and structure. I spent hours putting this together. Lots of reading, fact checking went into this. I appreciate your concerns about LLM, but I assure you that I put a lot of work into this. Respectfully, the content should be judged on merit and not assumptions. At least that's the way I see it. Would it be worth my while if I revised and resubmitted it? Stephanejgroulx (talk) 20:04, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Probably not, unless there is a secondary source, preferably several, specifically calling out the issue you're raising. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 21:53, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
