{{Ivmbox|1=''This message contains important information about an administrative situation on Wikipedia. It does '''not''' imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.''

'''Please carefully read this information:'''

The Arbitration Committee ↗ has authorised discretionary sanctions ↗ to be used for pages regarding the Arab–Israeli conflict ↗, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here ↗.

Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved ↗ administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia ↗, our standards of behavior ↗, or relevant policies ↗. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions ↗, bans ↗, or blocks ↗. This message is to notify you that sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.|2=Commons-emblem-notice.svg}} Icewhiz (talk) 07:02, 15 July 2018 (UTC)
:Please note, that until you are WP:EXTENDEDCONFIRMED ↗, you are not supposed to edit Arab-Israeli conflict related pages (see WP:ARBPIAINTRO ↗) - you can post talk page comments, but not edit the article themselves.Icewhiz (talk) 07:02, 15 July 2018 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for October 2

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Laurie Magnus ↗, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Jewish Board of Guardians ↗ ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Laurie_Magnus check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Laurie_Magnus?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are usually incorrect ↗, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ{{*}} Join us at the DPL WikiProject ↗.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:23, 2 October 2018 (UTC)

Edits on Israeli-Palestinian articles

If it is not clear per Wikipedia:Arbitration/Index/Palestine-Israel articles ↗: "accounts with fewer than 500 edits, and accounts with less than 30 days tenure are prohibited from editing any page that could be reasonably construed as being related to the Arab-Israeli conflict. This prohibition is preferably enforced by the use of extended confirmed protection, but where that is not feasible, it may also be enforced by reverts, page protections, blocks, the use of pending changes, and appropriate edit filters." As you account is fewer that 500 edits you not allowed to edit I/P articles. Shrike ↗ (talk) 13:51, 13 October 2018 (UTC)

You still need to address the issues raised during arbitration enforcement. Nobody's going to unblock you if you are unwilling to do this. --Yamla (talk) 15:42, 24 April 2019 (UTC)

:::{{Yo|Sandstein}} I'm having trouble following it. They deny abusing the accounts, though I guess from the block log, they violated a topic ban with one or the other or both. Not really clear.

:* Wickey/Wickey-nl was previously given an AE topic ban, and later blocked as a sockpuppet. The sockpuppet blocks treated User:Wickey-nl as the master, giving that account a temp block, and this one an indef block. The temp block has long since expired. As per this user's several UTRS requests, I will consider this account to be their master, unblock it, and re-block the other account instead.
:* {{re|Wickey}}, be advised that you are topic banned as an arbitration enforcement action ↗ {{tq|from the topic of the Arab-Israeli conflict}}, see Special:Permalink/625025912#Wickey-nl ↗. This prohibition applies not just in article space but in all namespaces, for any activity described by the topic ban. If you violate this ban, you will likely be blocked again. You can only appeal this topic ban at WP:AN ↗, WP:AE ↗, or WP:ARCA ↗. ST47 (talk) 05:34, 14 August 2021 (UTC)

NCG

Please note that disambiguation pages like : ↗ are meant to help readers find a specific ''existing'' article quickly and easily. For that reason, they have guidelines that are different from articles. From the Wikipedia:Disambiguation dos and don'ts ↗ you should:

Only list articles that readers might reasonably be looking for

Use short sentence fragment descriptions, with no punctuation at the end

Use exactly one navigable link ("blue link") in each entry that mentions the title being disambiguated

Only add a "red link" if used in existing articles, and include a "blue link" to an appropriate article

Do not pipe links (unless style requires it) – keep the full title of the article visible

Do not insert external links or references - Wikipedia is not a business directory

There should be an article on Nuclear Consulting Group! But currently there is barely a mention and no indication that it is known as NCG.

Thank you. Leschnei (talk) 13:26, 6 December 2021 (UTC)

EPR (nuclear reactor)

You keep adding a sentence in the section ''"New Model" EPR design''. However, the sentence is not related to the "New Model" EPR design. Instead, it deals with the original design. If you think that the sentence is important, please move it to a suitable place in the article. --TuomoS (talk) 14:12, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
:The source is of 2016 and it is in the right period and section. And if you want to discuss, please go to the talk page, not here. --Wickey (talk) 17:23, 8 December 2021 (UTC)

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Please do not move a page to a title that is harder to follow, or move it unilaterally against naming conventions ↗ or consensus ↗. This includes making page moves while a discussion remains underway. We have some guidelines ↗ to help with deciding what title is best for a subject. If you would like to experiment with page titles and moving, please use the test ↗ Wikipedia.

:Actually, the article had a hidden move protection and the move of the talkpage gave a misleading option-list, suggesting that I could move the article. Instead it moved the talkpage itself, which could not be completely reversed. Fortunately, you solved it excellently. --Wickey (talk) 10:30, 21 December 2021 (UTC)

Important Notice

{{ivmbox | image = Commons-emblem-notice.svg |imagesize=50px | bg = #E5F8FF | text = This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. ''It does '''not''' imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.''

You have shown interest in articles about living or recently deceased people ↗, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions ↗ is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions ↗ on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies ↗, or the page-specific restrictions ↗, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions ↗ and the Arbitration Committee's ↗ decision here ↗. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Labelling someone as "British-Jewish" was not appropriate

Ignoring the fact that Bat Ye'or ↗'s article doesn't use that label, if people want to know more about her they can read her article. We would rarely label someone British-some religion. Doug Weller talk 12:23, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
:I do not entirely understand what the problem is. "British-Jewish", albeit spelled as "British Jewish", is not uncommon at all. https://www.google.com/search?q=British-Jewish&num=50

:The Bat Ye'or ↗'s article does explicitly mention that she is Jewish and it explaines the background of the conspiracy. --Wickey (talk) 14:32, 25 December 2021 (UTC)

::::::I didn’t know about your topic ban. You cannot participate in any relevant discussions so you are violating your topic ban. No problem so long as you stop now. Doug Weller talk 18:41, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
:::::::I self-revered just to avoid this. You did not revert my edit, but raised the topic again instead. I do not blame you for doing that. I don't think discussing this principal policy aspect on the BLP platform is a violation of the topic ban. Nevertheless I distance myself immediately from this subject. --Wickey (talk) 10:44, 26 December 2021 (UTC)
