November 2022

Hello, I'm Doniago. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Tunguska event in popular culture, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Please review WP:IPCV as well. DonIago (talk) 14:04, 7 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Fort Solis

The fact the article was done in good faith is noted, but Wikipedia generally frowns on articles being created right after something is announced (it is not a news site). There are many articles on upcoming games but preferably, indepth previews of a game would exist at the very least, and most articles on the game are simple announcements. I recommend draftifying it until such point as more critical feedback is shown. If not, it runs the risk of potentially getting deleted. Thank you. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 01:22, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Aptronym, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Sundayclose (talk) 21:42, 23 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Minor edits

"Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Read Help:Minor edit for more information.

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.

Please note this alert covers the creation of pages relating to contentious topics such as your recent redirect "2024 Gaza war". I have taken the liberty to fix the redirect but please do not create more in future until you have extended-confirmed permission. CoconutOctopus talk 12:02, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
