[edit] If...
Welcome to Wikipedia. Here's what is going to happen: that section you added to Israel is going to get reverted (deleted). It has numerous problems. Having a source is insufficient. Much depends on how you use a source. You have a lot to learn - please go to the help section and start reading through the various policies and guidelines. The main issue to master is WP:NPOV. But there are many others as well.
If you simply restore the material once it gets deleted, it will be deleted again. If you carry on restoring it, you will violate the "3-revert rule", and if you carry on after that you will get blocked. If you don't want that to happen, then go slow, work with others, try to learn, and it's probably best to stay on the Talk pages for now, rather than making big controversial edits to controversial articles.

[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia
Hi there. I've proposed at Talk:Israel that some of the material removed in this edit be incorporated into the article in existing sections, rather than making a section entitled "Discrimination". The Israel article is, however, notoriously difficult to edit, and discussion on the talk page can go on for months before agreement is reached (if ever). I think some of the material you added would be useful in the article on Arab citizens of Israel, so you might try adding some of it there. (There is even a "Discrimination" section there which could use some work.)
Anyway, I thought I'd put in my two cents since I don't want to see you get discouraged. Just as an example, though I have over 12,000 edits here, nothing significant I have ever added to the Israel article has ever been retained. You might find editing at other articles on related subjects a more rewarding experience. If you ever need any help or advice, feel free to post at User talk:Tiamut. If I don't know the answer, I may be able to point you n the right direction.
Welcome to Wikipedia and I hope you enjoy your time here. Tiamuttalk 13:14, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Universal suffrage
I guess you are new to Wikipedia, but is considered bad editing style to ignore ongoing discussions on talk pages and just change the article as you did with this edit [1]. Could I ask you to explain your edit on the talk page of the article? Thanks. Novidmarana (talk) 08:13, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
- Thank you for coming to me. My edit was explained in the edit comment thus: "Undid revision 210988987 by Okedem because it suppressed information".
- Thanks to your request I have now gone to the Talk page and proposed a way forward. Springwalk (talk) 09:01, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
