Vice-President Of Zimbabwe
Hello, if you're here looking for the conversation about the Vice-President Of Zimbabwe, that section has been removed, I have opened up an RfC on The Talk Page of that topic in order to get more opinions in order to solve a content dispute, your contributions would be most welcome over there. Thank You. - GippoHippo (talk) 09:49, 27 November 2017 (UTC)

Political factions merger
Thanks for letting me know, I've replied. I really don't mind either way, the only thing is the ZanuPF article might get too long otherwise! Fourdots2 (talk) 13:50, 27 November 2017 (UTC)

Possible Auxillia Mnangagwa image source
Hi. Can you take a look at around 14 seconds into the following video: https://www.voanews.com/a/zimbabweans-want-change-post-mugabe-and-soon/4132236.html Is this Auxillia Mnangagwa standing next to Emmerson Mnangagwa? If so, I can grab a screen shot from the video to illustrate the Auxillia Mnangagwa article (VOA material is PD). Thanks. Greenshed (talk) 03:30, 30 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes that was indeed Mrs Mnangagwa, good spot! --GippoHippo (talk) 08:21, 30 November 2017 (UTC)

Deletion tags
✅ About the deletion tags on Zimbabwe articles you talked about, I only remember that I removed a statement without any deletion tag inserted by you. This was on Ministry of Tourism (Zimbabwe) where you actually put no tag. You simply put the reason in the article page, but it wasn't inside any template. As no template existed I removed the reason as there was no deletion tag in the article. MonsterHunter32 (talk) 05:53, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Understood, thanks for clearing that up ;) GH (talk) 07:04, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

Extended confirmed protection
The Arbitration Committee decision relevant to your issue was:

All IP editors, accounts with fewer than 500 edits, and accounts with less than 30 days tenure are prohibited from editing any page that could be reasonably construed as being related to the Arab-Israeli conflict. This prohibition is preferably enforced by the use of extended confirmed protection, but where that is not feasible, it may also be enforced by reverts, page protections, blocks, the use of pending changes, and appropriate edit filters.

The sole exceptions to this prohibition are:

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 above methods. This exception does not apply to other internal project discussions such as AfDs, WikiProjects, noticeboard discussions, etc.

It's clearly necessary at both Jerusalem and Israel. Even if those articles didn't have it set in the software, you cannot edit any such articles or relevant parts on an article related to the conflict until you have at least 500 normal edits and 30 days. Even if you find some articles where the software doesn't prevent you, the prohibition applies to you. This should be clear enough so that you won't break it. Note that the article itself might not be directly related but parts of it might be. This would include, say, an article on an archaeological site whose location in Israel or Palestine was disputed. That bit would be covered. Doug Weller talk 19:47, 7 December 2017 (UTC)
