ARBPIA
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Due to past disruption, editors wishing to edit material related to the Arab-Israeli conflict topic area must be logged in and have 500 edits and 30 days tenure. The article Kenneth O'Keefe is in that topic area, and as a result you may only edit its talk page. Feel free to edit the talk page with any suggestions for the article. Thank you.  nableezy  - 23:01, 6 December 2021 (UTC)

Hi, I made a constructive edit about O'Keefe. My edit had nothing to do with the Arab-Israeli conflict but was about a pro-Nazi YouTube video he made and a conspiracy theory book he contributed to. I was surprised to find that my edit was reverted by the user "nableezy" with the confusing message "Arbpia", with no explanation on what that meant, I just thought it was a bot thinking my work was vandalism so I reverted it and added a message telling the user operating the bot to actually look at my edit before reverting it again because it's sourced and wasn't vandalism. I was only going to revert it once (because of the message on the editing page) and leave it at that. Despite having taken measures to explain myself, not only my work was reverted again but I had inadvertently blocked all IP addresses from editing the page. I know that this conflict and many things regarding it is extremely contentious but when you look at the edit, you see that I didn't add anything related to it and touched no other part of the page. Indeed it's my first time ever such a page with such issues. I kindly ask that my edit is read (I don't think it was actually read when it was reverted), checked to see if it breaks any rules, reverted to the page it doesn't break rules and (hopefully) undo the block or at least set it to only last a few years or so. Not much was explained and it was very stringent and seems to apply to all pages faintly related to the conflict even if the edit is not vandalism and is a constructive edit not related to the conflict. No disruption was intended but you seem to take my edit as if I was acting in bad faith. I hope you read my message and my edit. I won't go to the talk page incase I get IP addresses blocked there too. Replies from mods, admins and nableezy are welcome. Thanks in advance.--51.37.38.173 (talk) 23:53, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
 * The entire article is in the topic area, so you cant edit any of it. You are certainly welcome to edit the talk page, and you wont get blocked for doing so. I honestly have no opinion of your edit, I was just reverting due to the prohibition.  nableezy  - 01:41, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
