You said I recently edited an Arab-Israeli conflict...

You said I recently edited an Arab-Israeli conflict page which is untrue, please show me which article it was. I only edited the Palestinian universities to improve their location. This does not fall under the Arab-Israeli conflict Winsocker (talk) 13:36, 9 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

it does. Sir Joseph (talk) 14:51, 9 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
(talk page stalker) @Winsocker: On the one hand, you passed the threshold of extended confirmed earlier today, so in that respect you are certainly now eligible to edit in the ARBPIA area. That said, the edits you made on the article, in replacing "Palestinian territories" with "State of Palestine", placed those edits squarely within the conflict area. There was not really any ambiguity in the locations within those articles, so it's not as if they exactly corrected a problem. (For example, it's not as if the articles said "Syria", and you then changed them to "Palestine".) And if you had changed their location from "6th Street" to "7th Street" within the same town, without changing "Palestinian territories" to "State of Palestine", nobody would have taken that to be an edit falling under the Arab-Israeli conflict. (Or, if Sir Joseph had, I would have told him to zip it.) But the edit you made was exactly the kind of edit that places an otherwise potentially benign article directly in the conflict zone. Please don't try to play naive on this. StevenJ81 (talk) 04:00, 10 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@StevenJ81: The reason why I changed "Palestinian territories to" "State of Palestine" is because the locations are referring to the actual country itself (reminder that majority of nations in the UN do recognize Palestine as sovereign). I dont seem to see the problem with this very small edit. It is alot more accurately correct to use "State of Palestine" Winsocker (talk) 11:54, 10 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
