Introduction to contentious topics
Note that you do not have the required 500 edits, and you are therefore restricted in what discussions you may participate in regarding this contentious topic. Thebiguglyalien ( talk ) 03:07, 11 October 2023 (UTC)


 * I only see that the restriction is towards editing, didn't see any rule in wikipedia about particapting discussions. דוב (talk) 09:06, 11 October 2023 (UTC)
 * It mostly applies to discussions in the "Wikipedia:" space. "Talk:" discussions are usually fine, but formal !voting type discussions (where people say support and oppose) can also be affected. Thebiguglyalien  ( talk ) 16:24, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Okay, where did you see I edited a page or a discussion I'm not supposed to? דוב (talk) 16:44, 12 October 2023 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

 * Thank you! Hope to keep volunterring in the fight against vandalism. דוב (talk) 21:03, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

WP:TPO
Do not modify a comment I make again.  nableezy  - 23:55, 12 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Is that a threat? דוב (talk) 23:59, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
 * No, it is a request that you abide by Wikipedia policy. If you refuse to do so then I may report that. But do not vandalize my comments again.  nableezy  - 00:00, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Deleting of spamming of the Talk page is not vandalizing. Btw, WP:CIVIL is also Wikipedia policy. דוב (talk) 00:07, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
 * I havent spammed a thing, and I have not been uncivil. Toodles,  nableezy  - 00:11, 13 October 2023 (UTC)

ARBPIA
This is a violation of the editing restrictions. Please do not edit material related to the Arab-Israeli conflict until you are qualified to do so.  nableezy  - 14:08, 14 October 2023 (UTC)


 * How is that a violation? There is no restriction over the page. dov (talk) 14:09, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
 * You may not edit any material related to the Arab-Israeli conflict topic area in article space regardless of whether or not a page is protected. If it is related to the conflict you need to wait until you have 500 edits to touch it in any place besides a talk page.  nableezy  - 14:26, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Okay. got it. dov (talk) 14:28, 14 October 2023 (UTC)

You also may not participate in a formal RFC on the talk page. Please read Arbitration_Committee/Procedures  nableezy  - 14:56, 14 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Where did I participate in one? dov (talk) 14:59, 14 October 2023 (UTC)

October 2023
Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made&#32;to Rose Prince (writer): you may already know about them, but you might find Template index/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 17:29, 14 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Thank you! I'm still learning about the different templates and looking what other monitors are doing with new users or vandalizers. dov (talk) 17:34, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
 * You may also be interested in trying out Twinkle, which has a bunch of useful editing functionality, one of them being easy counter-vandalism and user warnings. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 17:47, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
 * I'll check it out. dov (talk) 17:49, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Doesn't seem to work for me :/ dov (talk) 13:58, 15 October 2023 (UTC)

ANI
There is currently a discussion at Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.  nableezy  - 15:37, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
 * I have revoked your extended confirmed permission, as it is exceedingly obvious you were gaming the system to get it. I would advise you to stay well away from this extremely contentious topic area until you can demonstrate an ability to collaboratively edit in a calmer environment. Additional attempts to game the system will result in a block. The Blade of the Northern Lights ( 話して下さい ) 16:13, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Can you explain how were I gaming the system? I monitored over 300 edits and reverted vandalism and participated in discussions. None of my edits are considered "gaming". dov (talk) 17:25, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
