Hello, I'm HMSLavender. I noticed that in this edit to Jerk It Out, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. lavender|^{(formerly HMSSolent)}|lambast 06:57, 1 January 2022 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of International Vulture Awareness Day

Hello Thecolonpagesaretoocomplicated,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged International Vulture Awareness Day for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly indicate why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.

Hello, I'm TylerBurden. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Lukáš Hrádecký, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. TylerBurden (talk) 02:37, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics

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.

Please have a look also at the information at this page, which appears every time you edit J. K. Rowling. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 00:55, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

Odd place for a suicide awareness campaign.

Perhaps put the "died of suicide" activism on pages other than ones about conspiracy theories about one of history's most notorious monsters. Simonm223 (talk) 15:18, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

To be frank, I would say this is more about destigmatisation than 'awareness' per se. Also, seeing as this is pertaining to the act rather than the victim, the identity of the victim is irrelevant. The terminology should change for everyone, regardless of who has died by suicide. The fact that he killed millions of people - including dozens of members of my family - is not relevant to the discussion. Thecolonpagesaretoocomplicated (talk) 15:38, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

There is no reason to change what is written, unless consensus is reached stating otherwise. I would suggest you read: RfC on "commit suicide" language in the Manual of Style (2021). This for general consensus, although you may have to obtain local consensus as well, depending on the editors involved as to articles you wish to change as to such language.
