Notifying other editors

Hello! About your article talk page edits here and here, those did not notify me or the other editors you were attempting to "ping". To notify other editors of your discussion posts, you can use the {{Reply to}} template, and sign the post in the same edit. As it says on the template page, "You cannot directly type the "@" symbol to notify a user of your reply, you must use the template documented here or manually create a wikilink to their user page." — Mudwater^(Talk) 10:33, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ah yes! Thank you very much, Mudwater! It must have been sitting there looking purposeless in my earlier comment. I rectified the mistake in my latest. :) Fenharrow (talk) 16:37, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh and if you don't mind me asking, what prompted you to name your wikipedia account "Mudwater"? Fenharrow (talk) 16:57, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What makes you think I accused them of anything? DN (talk) 05:32, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey DN! It kinda seemed like you might be hinting they were being less than honest—maybe I read it wrong? I’ve been a little cautious about our exchanges from the start; even though it’s just through TP messages, sometimes it feels like a bit of a punch to the gut! Anyway, thanks for reaching out and hope you have a great day (or night)! Fenharrow (talk) 18:43, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I apologize for appearing aggressive, it just seemed like a mistake, not an intentional lie. DN (talk) 20:07, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people, 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 an expanded level of powers and discretion 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 practices;
comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
refrain from gaming the system.

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.
