I made two small changes to this article and they were both reverted today. I'd like to understand the reason for this. I added a reference to an event that occurred just before the US Houthi ceasefire to the background section. I thought this added useful information to help understand the Israeli reaction described later in the article.I
I changed "Israel violated the ceasefire" to "Israel ended the ceasefire", which I thought was more neutral language. One could argue that Hamas violated the ceasefire by refusing to release any more Israeli hostages. But such an argument does not belong here. It is accurate that Israel resumed the fighting once Hamas stopped releasing Israeli captives. Whether or not its a violation is, I think, a matter of opinion. Which is why I changed the word violated to "ended", since unarguably, Israel resumed its attacks in Gaza.
I would think that if someone is going to come in and undo what I did, they would at least explain why here on the talk page. I am relatively new to Wikipedia editing. I'd appreciate some input from the person who did the editing as well as the opinion of anyone else with experience. I still think my edits improved the article. What's my next step?

@Skitash's edit summary contain a link to WP:ARBECR, which explains that certain topic areas (like the Israeli-Palestinian conflict) are subject to "extended confirmed restriction", so that only extended-confirmed editors can edit articles on those topics. It also explains that if this restriction is not enforced by extended-confirmed protection, it can be enforce by reverting edits by non-XC editors, which is what happened here. Since I found your edits non-objectionable, I undid Skitash's reversion. Eigenbra (talk) 20:27, 14 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
