Introduction to contentious topics

 * Thank you! Right now I'm just adding in missing information rather than editing existing info - I hope that's ok! Afdshah (talk) 07:04, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
 * In order to add information to pages within the topic area you need to have the extendedconfirmed privilege (granted after 500 edits and an account age of 30 days). For the time being, until you are extendedconfirmed, you are limited to making edit requests on the article talk pages. See WP:EDITXY. Sean.hoyland (talk) 07:36, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
 * The reason I notified you is because I noticed edits like this that includes language like 'when a terrorist' using Wikipedia's unattributed editorial voice. This is not normal practice in Wikipedia (see WP:TERRORIST) so it got my attention. Sean.hoyland (talk) 07:44, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I apologize - I was working on adding in the missing info and realize now that I used biased language. I'll work on fixing it all ASAP. Thank you for catching my error Afdshah (talk) 08:37, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I removed all instances of the word "terrorist" from the page. Afdshah (talk) 08:41, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I also removed all relevant instances of the word "terrorist" from the Timeline of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict in 2003. Afdshah (talk) 08:59, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Did you read and understand my statement above "For the time being, until you are extendedconfirmed, you are limited to making edit requests on the article talk pages"? If so, I'm interested in why you are continuing to edit the articles covered by the restriction? I'm not interested in reverting the additions, but I am interested in whether you are able to explain your reasoning? Sean.hoyland (talk) 10:40, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Oh - I thought you meant only talk pages related to the articles - not the articles themselves - I read you text quickly - my bad!
 * Is it ok if I continue but add only sources?
 * I'm just trying to fix these undeveloped pages. Afdshah (talk) 13:54, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
