Important alert[edit]

This appears to be an obsolete AC/DS notice from the pre-CTopics era.

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

To opt out of receiving messages like this one, place {{Ds/aware}} on your user talk page and specify in the template the topic areas that you would like to opt out of alerts about. For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Denaar, This appears to me to be an obsolete notice that no longer represents the current guidance of the Arbitration Committee on this topic. I believe that this notice was placed in good faith, and an admin might interpret it as a good-enough proxy for the correct one, so it's probably wise to read the current advice about contentious topics in general, and more particularly the one about India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. (Non-administrator comment) Mathglot (talk) 03:51, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The article I was working on wasn't tagged - and I didn't realize it was a minefield at the time! I appreciate the correct link. Denaar (talk) 03:55, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

GAG[edit]

I think you make a lot of improvements that I do agree with, and I don't mean to come off as stonewalling or confrontational. I appreciate your conviction and resolve to adhere to 5p, I just don't see the way this topic is being treated as changing the lens through which policy is viewed. It seems like STATUS QUO to me. DN (talk) 08:34, 19 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate your willingness to collaborate and not take things personally. I think that "far-right" is hyperbole being used to create a reaction, designed to sound impartial without actually being impartial. But after clicking on the link and reading the lead on the article for far-right... I mean, wow, that's an extreme word.
Another one I'm stuck on is this article for Andreas Kalcker. I am not saying the criticism isn't fair, but I don't think the way this article stands is compliant with Wikipedia standards, but I'm not sure what to do with it. I don't think he's notable, but I think there really IS a story in "The use of MMS in Argentina during Covid" that has resulted in several deaths, and a whole bunch of people involved, a lot of information in those sources not in the article because none of it applies to him - but it's quite the story. I'm still trying to figure out how to approach it fairly. Denaar (talk) 20:43, 19 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Contentious topics

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 standard message is designed as an 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.

Copying or moving content within Wikipedia requires attribution[edit]

Information icon Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from 1997 Constitution of Fiji into Constitution of Fiji. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 14:29, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
