January 2024

Hello, Gevaarlik, welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. Your editing pattern indicates that you may be using multiple accounts or coordinating editing with people outside Wikipedia, such as Joker1Joker (talk · contribs). Our policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow this, and users who misuse multiple accounts may be blocked from editing. If you operate multiple accounts directly or with the help of another person, please disclose these connections. Thank you. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 21:51, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Gevaarlik It is clear to see that you have a negative bias towards these pages you've been editing. Please take this as notice that I will be reporting both your accounts for review as per the Wikipedia guidelines as a single purpose account. As @ToBeFree reported "your editing pattern indicates that you may be using multiple accounts or coordinating editing with people outside Wikipedia".

Furthermore, the purpose of Wikipedia is not to "neutralise" content as you've stated but present the facts. You seem to have the idea that positive content needs to be offset with negative content. Unfortunately that is not how it works. JayFacts (talk) 20:32, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. JayFacts (talk) 20:50, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(I can't see the discussion yet; I assume JayFacts is currently creating it.) ~ ToBeFree (talk) 21:14, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@ToBeFree Yes, thank you. I am gathering my facts and will create the discussion JayFacts (talk) 21:18, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles, 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.

GOOD party

Hi @Gevaarlik, I saw you made this edit on Third Cabinet of Cyril Ramaphosa, could you provide me a source? Right now I see some Wiki articles claiming GOOD is in the opposition. --Classicwiki (talk) If you reply here, please ping me. 18:20, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, GOOD was part of the previous government and Second Cabinet of Cyril Ramaphosa, and has affirmed that it will be part of the incoming government of national unity (GNU). https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/article/2024-06-17-five-party-pact-pa-and-good-join-government-of-national-unity/ https://www.anc1912.org.za/anc-welcomes-party-signatories-to-the-2024-government-of-national-unity-gnu/ PAC has joined the GNU as well, with more parties expected to join. https://www.sabcnews.com/sabcnews/pac-changes-tune-and-joins-gnu/ Gevaarlik (talk) 19:09, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Perfect, thank you! I figured they were in the GNU but early reporting did not include them. --Classicwiki (talk) If you reply here, please ping me. 19:52, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
