Introduction to contentious topics

[edit]

You have recently edited a page related to gender-related disputes or controversies or people associated with them, 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.

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.

Information icon Please do not attack other editors, as you did at Talk:January 6 United States Capitol attack. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. - Sumanuil. (talk to me) 04:45, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like to report Anachronist for enflaming the section and antagonizing both me and Venqax. MutedL (talk) 04:47, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Please do. DN (talk) 04:55, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Haven't I seen discord posts of you from 4chan and your shilling attempts on various articles? MutedL (talk) 15:26, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Making additional personal attacks in your replies to a warning about making personal attacks is really not a good idea. It isn't even your first warning for making personal attacks. Please dial it back a bit if you don't want to get blocked. If you really think you have a valid complaint then take it to the appropriate noticeboard but be warned that people who try to report others when their own actions are questionable can sometimes be hit with a WP:BOOMERANG.

Speaking for myself, I didn't want to see you blocked. If you appeal this block successfully, I am happy to continue our discussion, because it did lead to a minor improvement in the article. ~Anachronist (talk) 23:40, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
