Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, 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 an expanded level of powers and discretion 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 practices;
comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
refrain from gaming the system.

Additionally, you must be logged in, have 500 edits, and have an account age of 30 days, and you are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on any 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.

WP:NPOV is good for article improvement. Consider WP:MOS WP:REL too. Use words per sources. Don't use eulogy. Thanks Beylarbey (talk) 07:40, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

June 2025 / Grzegorz Braun

Hello, I'm Robby.is.on. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Grzegorz Braun, but you didn't provide a reliable source. On Wikipedia, it's important that article content be verifiable. If you'd like to resubmit your change with a citation, your edit is archived in the page history. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Robby.is.on (talk) 18:50, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

July 2025

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that one or more recent edits you made did not have an edit summary. Collaboration among editors is fundamental to Wikipedia, and every edit should be explained by a clear edit summary, or by discussion on the talk page. Please use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit and/or to describe what it changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances that your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits, an adequate summary may be quite brief.

The edit summary field looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

or in the visual editor:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Describe what you changed

Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. When logged in to your Wikipedia account, you can give yourself a reminder by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary (or the default undo summary), and then click the "Save" button. Thanks! Bongan^® →TalkToMe← 22:10, 3 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your edit on Zoran Mamdani was reverted as unsourced

The sources you used to not call it a hit piece. Headlines can't be used as sources unless of course they are the subject of a discussion. Headlines are written by headline writers to grab attention. Doug Weller talk 11:25, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The original edit was not mine. The term "hit piece" was already present. I simply redirected it to Wiktionary, as the Wikipedia article only included the message: "Wikipedia does not have an article on 'hit piece', but its sister project Wiktionary does".

Sorry, you are right. Doug Weller talk 13:00, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
