Tips 
 * Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
 * It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
 * If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
 * Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
 * When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
 * If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
 * Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Happy editing! Cheers,  Devoke water  19:59, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

"Alleged" Israeli airstrike
Do not add words like alleged or suspected to 2024 Israeli bombing of the Iranian embassy in Damascus please. Reliable source report it as an Israeli airstrike, and adding undue doubt is not inline with encyclopedic format. Ecrusized (talk) 15:39, 2 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Can you please show me the sources you use for that? Surely the burden of evidence must fall on the person making the more strenuous claim.
 * I am simply making sure the text in wikipedia matches the articles used as evidence. The articles used to evidence the sentences where I added 'alleged' use the same couched language so I am simply ensuring that Wikipedia's text reflects the texts of the sources used.

 * The first sentence of our article has two citations "Israel accused of deadly strike on Iranian consulate in Syria" and "Iran vows response after strike it blames on Israel demolishes consulate in Syria". please tell me how these can be used as evidence of anything other than the fact that Israel has been accused?

AI editing
This edit has been reverted per WP:ARBECR and the above notice. Please confine your editing in the topic area to edit requests only. Thank you. Selfstudier (talk) 15:01, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

These edits also. Any more violations invites a block. Selfstudier (talk) 18:09, 9 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Why have my comments on a talk page been removed? The WP link above encouraged me to use the talk page to suggest edits. I am happy to rephrase the comment into a much more specific request to edit the article by returning the section that was removed, if that was my violation. Tennisist123 (talk) 18:20, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
 * You are not permitted to "discuss" any topic, nor can you canvass editors who you believe may be sympathetic to your POV. You may file a straightforward edit request in the form change X to Y (or add/remove X), that's it, and EC editors will decide whether to implement it. Selfstudier (talk) 18:32, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Am I allowed to articulate the rationale behind my request?
 * Can you please direct me to the policy on canvasing?
 * I would like to ensure I am fully compliant with the (admittedly very numerous) policies. Tennisist123 (talk) 18:36, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Am I allowed to articulate the rationale behind my request? No argumentation is required, EC editors will decide if the request has merit.
 * Canvassing (note that it suggests locations where canvassing is permitted but that does not apply in your case because you are non EC). Selfstudier (talk) 18:43, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
 * This is a violation of WP:ECR. If there is another violation you will be blocked from editing. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 17:27, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
