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 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.

Please note that all articles related to the Arab-Israli conflict are subject to a 1RR restriction by virtue of the above ruling. You have just violated 1RR at Christian Zionism. I advise you to observe it in the future, since nonobservance can lead to blocks and bans. Zero^talk 13:27, 31 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I didn't know Christian Zionism was subject to 1RR.--Methestes (talk) 00:08, 1 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Map in the article "Mandatory Palestine"[edit]

Hello Methestes. You have reverted my edit on the page "Mandatory Palestine". Here is the original map on the left. This map is acually based on a map from 1995 and not 1949 as I spotted. As you can see the borders with Egypt and Jordan are solid while the borders with Syria and Lebanon are striped. That's due to the fact, Israeli signed a peace treaty with Egypt and Jordan in 1979 and 1995 and therefore the borders were recognized. As you can see, in a spot in the middle of the border with Jordan in the Dead Sea, the border begin to be striped, that's because Jordan don't recognize the Israeli occupetion of the West Bank and therefore this part of the border, the border between the West Bank and Jordan, is not recognized as a border of Israel and there is a dispute over it. This can't be in 1922 because in 1922, Jordan was a part of the Brittish Mandate oon Plaestine and there was no disputed borders since the West Bank didn't exist back then. The borders of Syria and Lebanon are also striped and that's because those countries have yet to sign a peace agreement with Israel and they don't recognize it, those borders are not De-Jure international borders but De-Jure Armistice lines (that were agreed upon in 1949). If you look at the border of Syria, you can see that Israel has an exclave in the Eastern bank of the Sea of Galilee. This exclave was created in the armistice agreement between Israel and Syria in 1949. Also, the Jordan River in the border between Syria and Israel and cut by a Syrian triangular shaped piece of land, this was also a disputed territory, officially regarded as a demilliterized zone while in 1922-1947, the whole of the Jordan river from the Sea of Galilee to the border with Lebanon was inside the boundries of Brittish Palestine. The map maker simply took a map of the De-Jure situation in 1995 and removed the borders of the West Bank and Gaza. --'''Bolter21''' (talk) 15:20, 3 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Edits on New Israel Fund[edit]

I see that you disagree with my recent edits on New Israel Fund. That's fine. The article has been under some heavy POV pushing from anonymous IP editors and I did just do a lot of edits to try to get us back to a NPOV article. That POV editing has included some cherry-picked articles, often non RLS, and also some tendentious readings of what the articles actually say.

The best place to take issue with any of these changes is on the NF talk page, where i opened up a section specifically for these conversations.

Please note that your edits violated the 1 RR. I see on your talk page that you were warned about violating that policy on another page a few days ago.

I think the best course of action would be for you to self-revert your edits (or at least such that you've only made one revert in the past 24 hours) and take the rest of your comments to the talk page.

Also all caps is never a friendly approach. I'm not removing information because I don't like it. I'm removing it because it doesn't belong. Perplexed566 (talk) 03:58, 6 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I understand, but the way to improve the article is not to remove massive amount of sourced content. Unlike you, I haven't broken 1RR in that article, I made two consecutive reverts based on your multiple reverts.--Methestes (talk) 09:45, 6 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

They weren't consecutive edits, as is entirely apparent from the article history. You'll need to adhere strictly to the WP:1RR rule in this area. Nomoskedasticity (talk) 21:52, 6 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
