Question for administrator

This request for help from administrators has been answered. If you need more help or have additional questions, please reapply the {{admin help}} template, or contact the responding user(s) directly on their own user talk page.

Hello, admins. I just made this account but this is actually my second account, I courtesy-vanished the first one. I guess I changed my mind about coming back to Wikipedia.

If it's acceptable, I would like to link the old account and the new account. I want to do this so I can "claim" both accounts as my own. Neither account has any edits (except for this request for admin help).

Also, is it possible to claim an edit as mine? My IP is currently floating around Wikipedia and I would like to avoid that.

If any of these are a big problem, I apologize; I'm a little new to this. Thanks! --AmrAlWatan (talk) 22:35, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't require an administrator action for you to admit that a prior account was yours. That's the most that can be done, there is no way to reassign the edits of another account to your current one. 331dot (talk) 23:21, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, okay then. Thanks. AmrAlWatan (talk) 23:25, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
refrain from gaming the system.

Additionally, you must be logged-in, have 500 edits and an account age of 30 days, and are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on a page within this topic.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.
