Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to the Troubles, 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 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.

Hello. Please note that a recent arbitration enforcement request in which you were involved has been closed.

Please let me know if you have any questions. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 17:32, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unrecognised state

Did you discuss these edits ahead of time? If not, please stop making them. These are potentially controversial edits in an area covered by ArbCom enforcement and should definitely be discussed first. Thanks. John (talk) 14:03, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I felt they were uncontroversial since this is a statement of fact; a state which is not recognized as a state by other states is an unrecognized state. BRMSF (talk) 16:02, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
