== Wikimedia Stories Project ==

Aloha!

My name is Victor Grigas, I’m a storyteller at the Wikimedia Foundation in San Francisco working on collecting stories of interesting Wikipedians that can be used to compel donations for the 2011 fundraiser.

I found your user name on this list:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikipedians_in_Chicago

I'm originally from Chicago and have edited a far bit about my home city. I would like to see Chicago represented in this years fundraiser.

If you are interested in participating, and would like to schedule a telephone or Skype interview with me, please send me an email (vgrigas@wikimedia.org) along with any questions or concerns you may have.

Thanks for your time!
Victor

PS
If you know of anyone with whom I should speak please let me know :)

== Introduction to contentious topics ==
{{ivmbox | image = Commons-emblem-notice.svg |imagesize=50px | bg = #E5F8FF | text  = You have recently edited a page related to '''the [[Arab–Israeli conflict]]''', a topic designated as '''[[WP:AC/CT|contentious]]'''. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and <em>does <strong>not</strong> imply that there are any issues with your editing</em>.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as ''contentious topics''. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project. 

Within contentious topics, editors should edit <strong>carefully</strong> and <strong>constructively</strong>, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:
*adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
*comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
*follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
*comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
*refrain from gaming the system.

<p>Additionally, you must be logged-in, have [[WP:ECR|500 edits and an account age of 30 days]], and are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on a page within this topic.</p><p>Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics ''procedures'' you may ask them at the [[WT:AC/C|arbitration clerks' noticeboard]] or you may learn more about this contentious topic [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Index/Palestine-Israel articles|here]]. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{tl|Ctopics/aware}} template.  </p>}}<!-- Derived from Template:Contentious topics/alert/first --> [[User:IOHANNVSVERVS|IOHANNVSVERVS]] ([[User talk:IOHANNVSVERVS|talk]]) 04:55, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

== [[WP:PIA]] ==

Hi Adrade! I noticed [[Special:Contributions/Adrade|your contributions]] and wanted to welcome you to the Wikipedia community. 

{{box|color=#EBFFE9|align=left|CSS=padding:10px 20px;|I've noticed that you've expressed an interest in the [[Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Palestine-Israel articles|Arab–Israeli conflict]]. Unfortunately, due to a history of conflict and disruptive editing it has been designated a [[Wikipedia:Contentious topics|contentious topic]] and is subject to some [[Wikipedia:Contentious topics/Arab–Israeli conflict|strict rules]].

'''The rule that affects you most as a new or IP editor is the [[Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Procedures#Extended confirmed restriction|prohibition on making any edit related to the Arab–Israel conflict]] unless you are logged into an account and that account is at least 30 days old and has made at least 500 edits.''' 

This prohibition is broadly construed, so it includes edits such as adding the reaction of a public figure concerning the conflict to their article or noting the position of a company or organization as it relates to the conflict. 

The exception to this rule is that you may [[Wikipedia:Edit requests|request a specific change to an article]] on the talk page of that article or at [[Wikipedia:Requests for page protection#Current requests for edits to a protected page|this page]]. Please ensure that your requested edit complies with our [[Wikipedia:Neutral point of view|neutral point of view]] and [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources|reliable sourcing]] policies, and if the edit is about a living person our policies on [[Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons|biographies of living people]] as well.

Any edits you make contrary to these rules are likely to be reverted, and repeated violations can lead to you being [[WP:Blocking policy|blocked from editing]].

== Extended-confirmed restriction ==

I came across {{slink|Wikipedia:Requests for page protection#Zionism}}, and I just wanted to remind you that the [[WP:CT/A-I|Arab–Israeli contentious topic]]'s [[WP:ARBECR|extended-confirmed restriction]] applies to internal project discussions as well as articles.
