Your only allowed one rv per 24 hours within all Arab-Israeli conflict articles. , you have just violated this on: Dung Gate, Damascus Gate, New Gate, Oldest synagogues in the Land of Israel. Please revert yourself. --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 09:38, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I am not aware of such rule. If there is such, contact the relevant persons. I'm just a user who tries to improve articles in my field of expertise. I did avoid any further changes to one article where I saw clear warning and as I saw an ongoing debate on the talk page. Sirwal (talk) 09:50, 2 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Please take a look at Discretionary sanctions imposed on Israel-Palestinian articles. There is a 1 revert rule in place for all these articles. If you revert more than once on any one article within a 24 hour period, you will face WP:AE, and be most likely banned from editing. If you do it again, either I or another editor will have no choice but to report you.  Night w   10:10, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
 * May I have a link to the page that exempt you from this rule? Sirwal (talk) 10:12, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Nobody is exempt. I haven't reverted more than once on any one page, so I haven't violated the ruling. Now, please revert your edits on Dung Gate, Damascus Gate, New Gate, and bring up what you want to change on the talk page.  Night w   10:45, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
 * May I know why it is I who needs to open a discussion, while, judging by the "history" of the article, my changes merely restored the original version of the article? The same goes for the article, State of Palestine, BTW. Sirwal (talk) 11:31, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Because, like it or not, your edits were reverted by other editors, they've been objected to. Read Wikipedia's editing policy, which encourages a Bold, Revert, Discuss cycle. You made an edit, it was reverted, now it is up to you to try and gain consensus to repeat those edits through means of discussion.  Night w   13:25, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
 * And yet browsing the article's history, I found out that my edits were not so innovative. It was even a bit disappointing to see that what I've written was more-or-less the version of this article for a long time, until you or someone else (I'm not sure) changed it. I do not object reverting to the original version (the "polity" version), while you could explain what has changed that would justify your recent edits. In fact, as I think of it, that is the logical thing to do, so go ahead. Sirwal (talk) 14:38, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
