You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

Introduction to contentious topics
ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 22:28, 18 July 2024 (UTC)


 * A discussion on the reliability of sources is far beyond an edit request. Please do not violate WP:ECR further or you will be sanctioned. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 23:21, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I wasn't discussing anything. It was already established a while ago (on the talk page) that the Lancet report was unreliable (when it comes to ascertaining whether Israel is (or isn't) committing a genocide). Emdosis (talk) 23:28, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
 * You are trying to discuss content relating to the Arab/Israel conflict which is prohibited until you are extended-confirmed. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 23:30, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

, why are you continuing to discuss matters covered by ECR despite having been told that if you do so you will be sanctioned? This suggests that you do not believe that Wikipedia's rules governing content and behavior apply to you. Sean.hoyland (talk) 13:22, 21 July 2024 (UTC)


 * I'm not aware of any rule that disallows me to speak about anything on a user's talk page. If Joe Roe has a problem, let him take it up with me. The fact that you came on my talk page, rather than address my arguments (on the topic at hand) at the place where I (supposedly) violated Wikipedia's laws, tells me quite a bit about your personal/political pov in all of this. Emdosis (talk) 14:56, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Look up. "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." You are aware. It provides no information about my 'personal/political pov' not does it have any dependency on them. It tells you that there are rules, that you were made aware of the rules, that you violated the rules repeatedly, and that you were told that you violated the rules. Sean.hoyland (talk) 15:08, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I have removed your ECR violation here. You are aware that it is a violation, so you have no valid reason to object to its removal. Sean.hoyland (talk) 15:13, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Very well. I'm curious how others think about this. In any case, the fact that you administrated, in the way that you did, still tells me about your pov. Emdosis (talk) 15:33, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
 * @Sean.hoyland is correct. You cannot discuss or make edits related to the Arab–Israeli conflict anywhere until you are EC.  The only thing you can do is make edit requests on the impacted articles' talk pages.  S0091 (talk) 15:20, 21 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Hallmarks of bad process, Approaches that don't usually convince. Also recommend you two to read Letter_and_spirit_of_the_law. Emdosis (talk) 15:59, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

July 2024
To enforce an arbitration decision, and for WP:ECR violations, you have been blocked from editing Wikipedia for a period of 1 week. You are welcome to edit once the block expires; however, please note that the repetition of similar behavior may result in a longer block or other sanctions. If you believe this block is unjustified, please read the guide to appealing blocks (specifically this section) before appealing. Place the following on your talk page:. If you intend to appeal on the arbitration enforcement noticeboard, I suggest you use the arbitration enforcement appeals template on your talk page so it can be copied over easily. You may also appeal directly to me (by email), before or instead of appealing on your talk page. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 16:34, 21 July 2024 (UTC)  Reminder to administrators: In May 2014, ArbCom adopted the following procedure instructing administrators regarding Arbitration Enforcement blocks: "No administrator may modify a sanction placed by another administrator without: (1) the explicit prior affirmative consent of the enforcing administrator; or (2) prior affirmative agreement for the modification at (a) AE or (b) AN or (c) ARCA (see "Important notes" [in the procedure]). Administrators modifying sanctions out of process may at the discretion of the committee be desysopped."

Arbitration enforcement action appeal by Emdosis
''Procedural notes: The rules governing arbitration enforcement appeals are found here. According to the procedures, a "clear and substantial consensus of uninvolved administrators" is required to overturn an arbitration enforcement action.''

''To help determine any such consensus, involved editors may make brief statements in separate sectionsbut should not edit the section for discussion among uninvolved editors. Editors are normally considered involved if they are in a current dispute with the sanctioning or sanctioned editor, or have taken part in disputes (if any) related to the contested enforcement action. Administrators having taken administrative actions are not normally considered involved for this reason alone (see WP:UNINVOLVED).''

 * Administrator imposing the sanction :


 * Notification of that administrator : The appealing editor is asked to notify the administrator who made the enforcement action of this appeal, and then to replace this text with a diff of that notification. The appeal may not be processed otherwise. If a block is appealed, the editor moving the appeal to this board should make the notification.

Statement by Emdosis
I was about to post the following to Wikipedia_talk:Arbitration_Committee when I saw I got banned. I'll post it here instead: (topic:ECR) "'The restriction applies to all edits and pages related to the topic area, broadly construed'" I'm guessing it's so broad that it includes user talk pages, and going even further, that it would allow a non-admin to remove an edit on another user's talk page (even though that would clash with WP:UP#OOUP). (To be very clear, I absolutely did not add that comment on Joe Roe's page knowingly violating ECR rules)

Discussion among uninvolved editors about the appeal by Emdosis
''Statements must be made in separate sections. They may not exceed 500 words and 20 diffs, except by permission of a reviewing administrator. Administrators may remove or shorten noncompliant statements. Disruptive contributions may result in blocks.''

Result of the appeal by Emdosis

 * This section is to be edited only by uninvolved administrators. Comments by others will be moved to the sections above.
