Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Hand in Hand: Center for Jewish-Arab Education in Israel, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Channel 14. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Carleton University

[edit]

Hi there, part of your recent addition to Carleton University was a bit of a non sequitur. The content about a murderer being hired can absolutely go into the article (thank you for providing a source!), but it doesn't belong in a paragraph about university presidents, nor does it really need to go in the page intro.

For the time being, I made a "controversies" section, and moved the content there. I also added a "clarify" tag, because if you'd like that content to stay in the article, it could really use a bit more explanation. Was there public outcry as to the hiring? How does a person convicted to life imprisonment teach classes? etc. I don't think this topic needs a full-on essay, but if it's to be included, it would be good to add some context about how this relates to, or reflects on, Carleton.

If I can help with anything, let me know. Thanks, Jessicapierce (talk) 16:09, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, another editor has removed the content for not having a reliable source - I should have noticed that myself. If you'd like this content to be included, it will need better sources. Thanks, Jessicapierce (talk) Jessicapierce (talk) 16:10, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Jessicapierce Yes, I agree. It should have been in a controversy section. Thanks for pointing that out. Herniac (talk) 04:13, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction to contentious topics

[edit]

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 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:

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.
