Welcome!
Sorry about the unfriendly and esoteric messages above that have to be left. The short of it is: new accounts are not allowed to edit Arab-Israeli topics due to unmanageable disruption in the area. I hope you can use your excellent referencing skills from that draft on a different topic area! If you have any questions you can ask at the Teahouse or ask me on my talk page. Thanks! — Bilorv ( talk ) 11:56, 26 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the message and praise of my referencing skills! While it is disappointing to be rejected, I do understand the guidelines and rules surrounding contentious topics. I'll try working on other issues as of now. Is it possible for me or someone else to edit the Airstrikes section of the existing Maghazi (camp) wikipedia page to include this incident?

 * Well, another volunteer might have even requested that the draft be deleted, but I've put in enough work to make this edit on my own terms, using sources in the draft but much of my own wording/reorganising.While we're here: it's synthesis to use sources that do not directly make a conclusion, like the inference "They were likely following instructions to move south of Wadi Gaza or risk being identified as sympathizers with a terrorist organization". The following falls afoul of both synthesis and neutral point of view: "Despite following these orders, and despite the camp being the smallest in the strip, and one of the most densely packed places on earth, it has sustained multiple airstrikes since the start of aggression". To make a claim, that exact claim needs to be present in a reliable source, and we call that "verifiability". — Bilorv ( talk ) 20:40, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
