The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
If you wish to participate in the 2016 election, please review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 22:08, 21 November 2016 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Isabel Kershner, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Gaza. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hello Rafe87. An unsolicited bit of friendly advice, which I hope you'll take in the right spirit. You were completely correct about the disputed content at Colin Jackson, but it's generally better not to personalize a disagreement in that way. I know firsthand how frustrating it can be to deal with this sort of situation, but making an extra effort to be patient and polite on the talk page, and leaving a more neutrally-worded post on the WikiProject page, is likely to help you prevail in a dispute. It may even win you an unexpected ally or two somewhere down the road. Your decision, of course, but I've seen some level-headed editors taken out of the running when they let that kind of thing get under their skin. RivertorchFIREWATER 04:36, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

I reverted your edit to Haditha massacre as labelling news website NewsMax as "far-right" (a) needs a reliable source, and (b) without RS is not WP:NEUTRAL. It may well be a far-right website, I don't know it, but if RS supports the claim, then it should go into the NewsMax article for a start. Thanks, Batternut (talk) 11:12, 7 January 2018 (UTC) it’s really fun to just change what people say but i haven’t :)
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.https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AArbitration%2FRequests%2FEnforcement&type=revision&diff=840678810&oldid=840533076--יניב הורון (talk) 12:43, 11 May 2018 (UTC)

It appears that you have been canvassing—leaving messages on a biased choice of users' talk pages biased messages on project talk pages to notify them of an ongoing community decision, debate, or vote. While friendly notices are allowed, they should be limited and nonpartisan in distribution and should reflect a neutral point of view. Please do not post notices which are indiscriminately cross-posted, which espouse a certain point of view or side of a debate, or which are selectively sent only to those who are believed to hold the same opinion as you. Remember to respect Wikipedia's principle of consensus-building by allowing decisions to reflect the prevailing opinion among the community at large. Thank you. NeilN talk to me 16:22, 12 May 2018 (UTC)
Please remember to assume good faith when dealing with other editors, which you did not do on Talk:Anti-Arabism. Thank you. Doug Weller talk 17:06, 17 May 2018 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of gay, lesbian or bisexual people: A, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Brockhampton (check to confirm | 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.)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Gatestone Institute. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Points to note:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.
This is the fifth occasion in which you have attempted to unilaterally remove an NPOV template while a discussion is ongoing. Endymion.12 (talk) 20:42, 11 August 2018 (UTC)
Please use article talk pages to discuss article content, and not the conduct of other users. You have now twice baselessly accused me of seeking to "accommodate bigotry", which is inconsistent with several general principles passed by the Arbitration Committee. I will take this further if necessary. Endymion.12 (talk) 09:49, 20 August 2018 (UTC)
You violated the original author provision of ARBPIA 1RR, in reverting content you authored less than 24 hours since it was reverted. Kindly self revert.Icewhiz (talk) 17:58, 20 October 2018 (UTC)

Hi, Rafe87. When making edits like this, keep WP:Tone in mind. By that, I mean, for example, per MOS:PERSON, the use of first-person pronouns such as "we" are not used on Wikipedia (except for when quoting a source or the other exceptions the guideline gives). And wording like "in fact" is WP:Editorializing. Also take care to make sure that you are not engaging in WP:Synthesis. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 10:36, 28 December 2018 (UTC)
The New York Times published an investigation of the killing of Razan al-Najjar. Ira Stoll wrote a column in The Algemeiner attacking the investigation. Stoll's column was incoherent, rambling, tendentious nonsense. I summarized Stoll's column to demonstrate the nature of the attacks. Why don't you want to let readers see for themselves that the attacks on the Times story are tendentious nonsense? --Nbauman (talk) 20:12, 1 January 2019 (UTC)
As noted on the article's talk page, I will fix up the entire article. Just give me the weekend to do it. Although I'd rather not spend my weekend on this, it's a good thing that you have urged on fixing up the article. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 22:49, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
I am Salvatore Antonio, and I did ask that the line stating my sexual preference be removed, because I have never stated this information in any press, and definitely did not in the article that was cited (written by Richard Burnett). Please respect my right to disclose information on my own terms and not publish unsubstantiated inormation. Meduso (talk) 01:15, 24 June 2019 (UTC)
You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Kathua rape case. Bbb23 (talk) 00:49, 3 December 2019 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Kautilya3. I noticed that you made a comment on the page Talk:Kathua rape case that didn't seem very civil, so it has been removed. Wikipedia is built on collaboration, so it's one of our core principles to interact with one another in a polite and respectful manner. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Kautilya3 (talk) 18:33, 13 December 2019 (UTC)
This edit[2] is a violation of this editing restriction: "24-hr BRD cycle: If a change you make to this article is reverted, you may not reinstate that change unless you discuss the issue on the talk page and wait 24 hours (from the time of the original edit). Partial reverts/reinstatements that reasonably address objections of other editors are preferable to wholesale reverts." You should self-revert immediately. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 17:59, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
Please stop your disruptive editing.
If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. Please stop with the unexplained insertion of improper content in article space. Consider using Wikia instead. Drmies (talk) 03:01, 24 December 2019 (UTC)
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 post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people. 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.

This message is being sent to let you know of a discussion at the Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard regarding a content dispute discussion you may have participated in.

Hello, I'm WMSR. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Media coverage of Bernie Sanders seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. WMSR (talk) 20:13, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
Please stop attacking other editors, as you did on User talk:WMSR. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. If you have a dispute with me about the content, we can talk about the content. I have been, and will continue to be, open to such discussions. But rest assured, my next step will be ANI if you continue to attack me instead. The accusations you have made against me are unfounded and, plainly, wrong. WMSR (talk) 22:19, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

I still want to take some scissors to that paragraph, but since I've already used up my daily revert, and I know I tend to be too terse/concise (especially in mainspace), it's just as well that I can't mess anything up. Do you mind that addition? 🌿 SashiRolls t · c 17:42, 19 January 2020 (UTC)
Please do not attack other editors, as you did at Media coverage of Bernie Sanders. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Objective3000 (talk • contribs) 19:17, 12 February 2020 (UTC)
Hi Rafe87. You just violated the both editing restictions on Media coverage of Bernie Sanders rather blatantly. If you will please promptly self-revert your reversions, it will probably help you to avoid being blacked or topic banned. - MrX 🖋 14:01, 13 February 2020 (UTC)
