Line 130: Based on some private discussions that have taken place, while I am okay with an unblock (keeping the existing other restrictions in place) I am uncomfortable doing so unless we limit WMRapids to using a single account. [[User:Primefac\|Primefac]] ([[User talk:Primefac\|talk]]) 22:12, 17 August 2025 (UTC) I was [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Venezuelan politics/Proposed decision#WMrapids unblocked with a one-account restriction\|the only one who thought that a site ban was unnecessary]], and I still believe that. Robert, please see my and Barkeep's comments there regarding use of multiple accounts (and at {{slink\|Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Venezuelan_politics/Proposed decision#Use of multiple accounts\|nopage=y}} too). [[User:Sdrqaz\|Sdrqaz]] ([[User talk:Sdrqaz\|talk]]) 01:18, 24 August 2025 (UTC) == Amendment request: Palestine-Israel articles 4 == '''Initiated by''' [[User:Newslinger\|Newslinger]] '''at''' 01:04, 25 August 2025 (UTC) ;Case or decision affected :{{RFARlinks\|Palestine-Israel articles 4}} ; Clauses to which an amendment is requested #[[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Palestine-Israel articles 4#Definition of the "area of conflict"]] ; List of any users involved or directly affected, and confirmation that all are aware of the request: <!--This list should only be changed after filing by clerks and Arbitrators.

As Patternbuffered was not [[WP:XC\|extended confirmed]], the [[WP:ECR\|extended confirmed restriction]] (ECR) of [[WP:CT/A-I]] prohibited Patternbuffered from performing the described revert. Per current practice (e.g. {{u\|ScottishFinnishRadish}}'s warning of {{np\|Long-live-ALOPUS}} in [[Special:Permalink/1296036037#Introduction to contentious topics\|another discussion]] for violating ECR by posting [[Special:Diff/1292926915\|another user talk page comment]]), my understanding is that ECR also prohibited Patternbuffered from starting the user talk page discussion in the first place. However, Patternbuffered [[Special:Diff/1307594945\|pointed out to me]] that the wording of the clause in question excludes {{xt\|"userspace"}} from the {{xt\|"area of conflict"}} without additional qualifiers. Long-live-ALOPUS [[Special:Diff/1292930723\|also interpreted]] the clause as it was written. I do not believe it is the intent of the userspace exception to allow non–extended confirmed users to openly discuss the Arab–Israeli conflict on other users' talk pages in ways that are prohibited in other namespaces and restricted on article talk pages. I ask the Arbitration Committee to amend the clause to limit the exception to the editor's own userspace, which better reflects existing practice. — '''''[[User:Newslinger\|<span style="color:#536267;">Newslinger</span>]]''' <small>[[User talk:Newslinger#top\|<span style="color:#708090;">talk</span>]]</small>'' 01:04, 25 August 2025 (UTC) === Statement by Patternbuffered === === Statement by ScottishFinnishRadish === === Statement by Long-live-ALOPUS === === Statement by {other-editor} === Other editors are free to make relevant comments on this request as necessary.
