Hi ThunderheadX! The thread you created at the Wikipedia:Teahouse, Can I edit the article "Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence"?, has been archived because there was no discussion for a few days (usually at least two days, and sometimes four or more). You can still find the archived discussion here. If you have any additional questions that weren't answered then, please feel free to create a new thread.

February 2021

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Tree planting; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. 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:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

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. —Wingedserif (talk) 16:21, 28 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

April 2021

It's unfortunate that this warning is necessary but here it is: it is obvious that your purpose on Wikipedia is to promote, maybe as a result of a conflict of interest. Other than bludgeoning discussions and wasting community time, this degenerates into unacceptable attacks like "this is your problem with SENS", "making out ridiculous lies about wikipedia's rules", "that you just ignore the facts", etc. Relevant are WP:FOC, WP:ASPERSION and WP:PA, but also WP:NOTPROMOTION. Others have also explained well about WP:ABOUTSELF and its limitations. Unless you move on, you're likely about to be reported as WP:NOTHERE. Even if it was a WP:COI issue, there's no problem with posting suggestions and proposing sources at the relevant article talk page reasonably. It's not productive to repeat over and over and make claims about the motivations of other editors. It's unacceptable to suggest that they somehow must "have something against SENS" because they don't buy into the proposed arguments and PR, but care about the encyclopedia, its quality and its policies. The article is far from an attack page for instance, that would be evidence for some editors motivated against it (who would most likely also soon be banned as WP:NOTHERE). Thanks, —Paleo Neonate – 01:33, 22 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@PaleoNeonate: The only one using personal attacks and making claims about the motivations of other editor is you, not me. I am not here to "promote" anything, in fact it doesn't even matter even if it was true because it doesn't change the fact that all the editors who are supporting the "criticism" section in the article about SENS are making ridiculous interpretations of wikipedia's rules in order to fit their own opinions. Seeing SENS as a fringe is one thing but claiming that SENS's website isn't a reliable source about the activities of the organization(like researching senolytics) is just ridiculous, do you think it makes any sense?. It is really annoying when people say things that doesn't make any sense and a large group of people support it and expect you to act as if it makes sense. You can say whatever you want about SENS but the fact is that many of the arguments used by the editors who see SENS as fringe are simply ridiculous and nothing but an excuse for their general mistrust in anything that seems supportive of SENS.

And repeating yourself in an argument were people ignore your arguments is just something everybody is going to do, including you and the rest of the editors here.--ThunderheadX (talk) 10:58, 22 April 2021 (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.

Welcome!

Hi ThunderheadX! I noticed your contributions and wanted to welcome you to the Wikipedia community. I hope you like it here and decide to stay.

I've noticed that you've expressed an interest in the Arab–Israeli conflict. Unfortunately, due to a history of conflict and disruptive editing it has been designated a contentious topic and is subject to some strict rules.

The rule that affects you most as a new or IP editor is the prohibition on making any edit related to the Arab–Israel conflict unless you are logged into an account and that account is at least 30 days old and has made at least 500 edits.

This prohibition is broadly construed, so it includes edits such as adding the reaction of a public figure concerning the conflict to their article or noting the position of a company or organization as it relates to the conflict.

The exception to this rule is that you may request a specific change to an article on the talk page of that article or at this page. Please ensure that your requested edit complies with our neutral point of view and reliable sourcing policies, and if the edit is about a living person our policies on biographies of living people as well.

Any edits you make contrary to these rules are likely to be reverted, and repeated violations can lead to you being blocked from editing.
