In May/June 2013, there was a Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Jerusalem about the lead section of this article. This discussion was mandated by the Arbitration Committee, and its result remained binding for three years (until January 2016). While the binding results of this RfC have now expired, this page is subject to the following page-level sanction: As the results of Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Jerusalem regarding the article's lead represent the community's consensus at a well-attended discussion, a new request for comments must be undertaken and reach consensus prior to any changes being made to the article's lead section. Editors editing the lead without consensus from an RfC are subject to sanctions such as page or topic bans or being blocked from editing. Reverts of blatant and obvious vandalism or edits made in violation of this sanction are exempt from this restriction.
Warning: active arbitration remedies

The contentious topics procedure applies to this article. This article is related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, which is a contentious topic. Furthermore, the following rules apply when editing this article:

  • You must be logged-in and extended-confirmed to edit or discuss this topic on any page (except for making edit requests, provided they are not disruptive)
  • You may not make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on any edits related to this topic

Editors who repeatedly or seriously fail to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behaviour, or any normal editorial process may be blocked or restricted by an administrator. Editors are advised to familiarise themselves with the contentious topics procedures before editing this page.

Further information

The exceptions to the extended confirmed restriction are:

  1. Non-extended-confirmed editors may use the "Talk:" namespace only to make edit requests related to articles within the topic area, provided they are not disruptive.
  2. Non-extended-confirmed editors may not create new articles, but administrators may exercise discretion when deciding how to enforce this remedy on article creations. Deletion of new articles created by non-extended-confirmed editors is permitted but not required.

With respect to the WP:1RR restriction:

  • Clear vandalism of whatever origin may be reverted without restriction. Also, reverts made solely to enforce the extended confirmed restriction are not considered edit warring.
  • Editors who violate this restriction may be blocked by any uninvolved administrator, even on a first offence.

After being warned, contentious topics procedure can be used against any editor who repeatedly or seriously fails to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behaviour, or any normal editorial process. Contentious topic sanctions can include blocks, topic-bans, or other restrictions.
Editors may report violations of these restrictions to the Arbitration enforcement noticeboard.

If you are unsure if your edit is appropriate, discuss it here on this talk page first. When in doubt, don't revert!

Naqib al-Ashraf revolt seems to have been a prominent event in the history of Jerusalem, and yet does not seem to be mentioned anywhere here? Makeandtoss (talk) 09:22, 27 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Consider changing "Jews" here to "Israelites": "Modern scholars argue that Jews branched out of the Canaanite peoples and culture." The word "Jew" is generally used from the Second Temple period onwards. Before the Babylonian exile, the correct term is Israelites. This is discussed in From the Maccabees to the Mishnah by Shaye J.D. Cohen pages 8-9. Isaachier (talk) 01:20, 13 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

which specific line or phrase were you referring to in the article, though? Andre🚐 01:35, 17 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

This is just a clumsy construction that doesn't read well. Can't we just say "State of Palestine aspires to." and leave it at that? Andre🚐 01:34, 17 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
