The
contentious topics procedure applies to this article. This article is related to the
Arab–Israeli conflict, which is a contentious topic. Furthermore, the following rules apply when editing this article:
You must be logged-in and
extended-confirmed to edit or discuss this topic on any page (except for
making edit requests, provided they are not disruptive)
You may not make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on any edits related to this topic
The exceptions to the extended confirmed restriction are:
Non-extended-confirmed editors may use the "Talk:" namespace only to
make edit requests related to articles within the topic area, provided they are not disruptive.
Non-extended-confirmed editors may not create new articles, but administrators may exercise discretion when deciding how to enforce this remedy on article creations. Deletion of new articles created by non-extended-confirmed editors is permitted but not required.
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.
Editors who violate this restriction may be blocked by any uninvolved administrator, even on a first offence.
WP:BLP specifies that biographies of living people must be written conservatively and with regard for the subject's privacy. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a tabloid: it is not Wikipedia's job to be sensationalist, or to be the primary vehicle for the spread of titillating claims about people's lives. This article, as a whole, is almost exclusively a collection of charges against Salah with nearly no rebuttal, though there are many sources that rebut these charges. The lead section of the article focuses almost exclusively on a selection of charges against Salah, relegating the fact that he was a three term mayor of a city to the end of the lead and including, as the largest part of the lead, charges of "virulent antisemitism" and other such things. This is neither in keeping with WP:BLP or WP:NPOV. I will be working to rectify these issues in the coming days, but as my first attempt at doing so was reverted I have tagged the article in the meantime. nableezy -

Hello nableezy, and thanks for your work. I've just discovered this page, due to the recent arrest of Raed Saleh in London. The article as I found it states the Raed Saleh was arrested after an appearance in the UK parliament. In fact, it was after an appearance in Leicester, and he didn't attend the UK parliament due to his arrest. I'll make this correction, and add a link to the UK Guardian. You can find an e-mail contact for me on my user page.

I also removed the square brackets within the "ref" tags, because the reference link wasn't visible in the references list.

This article by Jonathan Cook paints a very different picture of Salah and his background. It certainly raises NPOV concerns about this article.

::CP is not an RS and that is an editorial. I'm just glad the lead does not have the silly blue link it had for one whole week. I think Cooke is over-represented in the article and we should incorporate more of Salah's own statements and claims rather than figures like Cooke. I'll leave that to other editors.

Regardless, the one other source I've had time to look at confirms many of the statements made by Cook. This article is currently presenting a very one-sided view of Salah that represents a breach of
WP:BLP in my opinion.

NPOV and RS violations in BLP article by two new users
Two new users, Kudosmia and Stayashuman, are collaboratively edit warring to include non neutral statements in this article in favor of Salah, such as "Salah is famous for his tireless and peaceful protests against the Israeli occupation and its continued violations" , based mostly on the massively biased website "www.middleeastmonitor.org.uk" which is an organization affiliated with Salah (Middle East Monitor). In addition, they have removed reliably sourced material. They are ignoring my warnings to stop the disruptive behaviour.

Instead of warning them, how about explaining to them what they are doing wrong and helping them to understand core policy? There's been a lot of discussion on Wiki lately about new users getting unfriendly receptions, block warnings are hardly a means of making someone feel welcome.

Actually I did welcome Kudosmia very nicely on July 12 and explained the policies. In response I got a personal thank you message saying that he/she will improve their editing.

I just removed it. The dispute was resolved nearly immediately for 2,5 years ago. You can't put a tag and then don't remove it when it's time. --

Introductionary section
I've changed the order in the main section to put information about Raed Salah before the various allegations etc. The paragraph about the ban in the UK wouldn't seem to belong here either. His primary importance is in Palestine and Israel, not the UK. Suggestions?
I see a claim above that Middle East Monitor is associated with Raed Salah. Does that make it suitable for citation of Raed Salah's own stated opinions? Does anyone know of other sources of information about him?

I've cited the profile in Middle East Monitor for his year of birth and mayoral election years, pending another source.

Not sure if anyone has Raed Salah on their watchlists... But if so, you can see that I have "renovated" the page. In particular I've removed some material that I think is irrelevant. See the diffs

Benefit provided by sourced content from EI?
I believe that the other citations already cover the significant content, and that a Gunrel source about a BLP in the area of I/P is not desirable. Does someone object to the removal of it?
