All participants in formal discussions (RfCs, RMs, etc) within the area of conflict are urged to keep their comments concise, and are limited to 1,000 words per discussion.

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.

WARNING: ACTIVE COMMUNITY SANCTIONS

The article 2015–2016 wave of violence in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, along with other pages relating to the Syrian Civil War and ISIL, is designated by the community as a contentious topic. The current restrictions are:

Limit of one revert in 24 hours: This article is under WP:1RR (one revert per editor per article per 24-hour period)

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 sanctioned.

Remedy instructions and exemptions

Enforcement procedures:

Violations of any restrictions (excluding 1RR/reverting violations) and other conduct issues should be reported to the administrators' incidents noticeboard. Violations of revert restrictions should be reported to the administrators' edit warring noticeboard.
Editors who violate any listed restrictions may be blocked by any uninvolved administrator, even on a first offense.
An editor must be aware before they can be sanctioned.

With respect to any reverting restrictions:

Edits made solely to enforce any clearly established consensus are exempt from all edit-warring restrictions. In order to be considered "clearly established" the consensus must be proven by prior talk-page discussion.
Edits made which remove or otherwise change any material placed by clearly established consensus, without first obtaining consensus to do so, may be treated in the same manner as clear vandalism.
Clear vandalism of any origin may be reverted without restriction.
Reverts of edits made by anonymous (IP) editors that are not vandalism are exempt from the 1RR but are subject to the usual rules on edit warring. If you are in doubt, contact an administrator for assistance.

Is this phase over?

According to this source from 12 February, the level of violence have reached the lowest since July (the wave started in September) the the esculation is over. What do you think? Should we say the escualtion ended in January? I am going to add the source just to cite the obvious, that the the levels of violence went down.

In the October 2015 subsection of the Timeline section, 'Eritrean' links to a disambiguation page, while it should direct to Eritrea instead. Even better would be to instead make the first mention of Eritrean in the Timeline section a link and remove the link from this second mention. Lennart97 (talk) 17:24, 6 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hallel Yaffa Ariel Age fix

The sentence "On 30 June Murder of Hallel Yaffa Ariel: a Palestinian stabbed and killed 17-year-old Hallel Yaffa Ariel" links to a source which says that Hallel Yaffa Ariel was 13 years old. Can this be fixed?2601:249:8180:28D0:3583:8758:4230:714D (talk) 14:46, 15 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Add elaborative example at the end of the extrajudicial killings section of this article. Namely, the sentence below verbatim from the AL Jazeera article linked below that. This edit helps continue the context and keep the page up to date:

"On the morning of May 30, 2020, 31-year-old Eyad al-Halaq was making his way to the special needs school he attended inside the Old City of Jerusalem when he was shot and killed by Israeli police. Eyad had severe autism and, according to his parents, the mental age of an eight-year-old"

Not done for now: This is a contentious edit, or this has already been discussed, so you'll need to discuss first with other editors. If there is an existing discussion on the talk page please contribute to that section. If there is no existing discussion you may explain why this edit should be made in this section, or start a new section on this talk page. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 13:03, 18 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

In the last two paragraphs in the extrajudicial killings section, there is mention of a government policy tolerating shoot to kill when in suspicion. This edit provides an example of an incident that took place subsequent to that, therefore it adds an elaborative example to what is mentioned in the last two paragraphs.

There's a grammar issue in the # Timeline / June 2016 section. Please change "Israeli government response was to suspend 83,000 Palestinian entry permits to visit families in Israel for the Ramadan were suspended following the attack, [...]" to "In response to the attack, the Israeli government suspended all 83,000 entry permits to Israel it had previously issued to Palestinians for Ramadan, [...]". In the current version this sentence links to the Ramadan article, so please also make sure that link is kept. Thank you! CroutonSoup (talk) 13:51, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
