Welcome to Wikipedia. Wikipedia invites everyone to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, but one of your recent edits to the page Talk:Elissa Slotkin suggests that you have been recruited to make that edit by someone else, whether it be a friend, family member, coworker, or public figure. Please understand that Wikipedia does not condone such activity; users should act in their individual capacity, rather than editing under the direction or influence of others. Additionally, please ensure that any articles you create abide by the notability guidelines and that you do not make edits to topics in which you have a conflict of interest. Thank you.

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Dcpoliticaljunkie (talk) 13:07, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

I did an entire round of grammar edits of the page before the dispute in question occurred. I appreciate the concern, but this is unfounded. andrew.robbins (talk) 14:06, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

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 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.
