This is your only warning; if you vandalize Wikipedia again, as you did at Category:Hong Kong people of Algerian descent, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Dallas Considine (talk) 10:50, 14 August 2024 (UTC) (struck comment by sockpuppet) Frost 11:16, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

@Dallas Considine, could you please explain why you consider my edit to be vandalism? The category:People of North African descent is an established category as far as I can see. Sakakami (talk) 10:54, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

Please ignore the above warning. It was made by a long-term abuser. Frost 11:16, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

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 carefully and constructively, 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.

Additionally, you must be logged-in, have 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.

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 arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

Category:Middle Eastern diaspora in Israel

Hello, Sakakami,

You improperly emptied this category out-of-process and then tagged for a speedy rename (why?) but never posted a request at WP:CFD in the speedy rename section. Are you going to follow through on this plan? Could you put all of the articles or categories back into this category> Otherwise it doesn't make sense to move an empty category. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 18:47, 5 October 2024 (UTC)

Hello, Liz! First, I tagged it for a speedy rename (I didn’t notice that the target already existed) and posted a request at WP:CFD. After the request was approved, I manually merged the content. The history should probably be merged as well now. Sakakami (talk) 19:23, 5 October 2024 (UTC)

Blocked as a sockpuppet

Wikipedia's technical logs indicate that this IP address or network has been used to disrupt Wikipedia. It has been blocked from editing to prevent further abuse.
If you are not the intended target of this block, please read the information below in order to receive assistance.

Wikipedia tries to be open, but we sometimes must block IP addresses to prevent editing by abusers, vandals, or block evaders. These blocks can affect users who have done nothing wrong. If you are a legitimate user, follow the instructions below to edit despite the block. Users who are the intended target of a range block may still appeal the block.

IP users (without an account): If you do not have an account and wish to bypass this block, an account can be created to allow you to edit. In general, these blocks only prevent users who are not logged in from editing; once you are logged in, the block will no longer affect you in any way. To request an account, simply click here and follow the directions provided on the page. It is important that you use an e-mail address issued to you by your ISP, school, or organisation, so we may verify that you are a legitimate user. When filling out the account request form, please refer to this block in the "comments" input field. If you've been instructed to request an account via email, please refer to this block in your message.

Registered users (with an account): Please make sure you are logged in to your account. If you are unable to edit while logged in, you may request IP block exemption to bypass blocks unconnected with you that affect your editing. Post an unblock request to your user talk page.

Administrators: Checkusers have access to confidential system logs not accessible by the public or administrators due to the Wikimedia Foundation's privacy policy. You must not loosen or remove this block, or issue an IP block exemption, without consulting a checkuser or the Arbitration Committee. Administrators who undo checkuser blocks without permission from a checkuser or the Arbitration Committee may be summarily desysopped.
