== Introduction to contentious topics ==
{{ivmbox | image = Commons-emblem-notice.svg |imagesize=50px | bg = #E5F8FF | text = You have recently edited a page related to '''the [[Arab–Israeli conflict]]''', a topic designated as '''[[WP:AC/CT|contentious]]'''. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and <em>does <strong>not</strong> imply that there are any issues with your editing</em>.

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 <strong>carefully</strong> and <strong>constructively</strong>, 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.

<p>Additionally, you must be logged-in, have [[WP:ECR|500 edits and an account age of 30 days]], and are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on a page within this topic.</p><p>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 [[WT:AC/C|arbitration clerks' noticeboard]] or you may learn more about this contentious topic [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Index/Palestine-Israel articles|here]]. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{tl|Ctopics/aware}} template. </p>}}<!-- Derived from Template:Contentious topics/alert/first --> '''[[User:Starship.paint|<span style="color:#512888">starship.paint</span>]] ([[User talk:Starship.paint|talk]] / [[Special:Contributions/Starship.paint|cont]])''' 08:41, 24 October 2024 (UTC)

Notice

The article Ilnaz Galyaviev has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Should be moved back into Draft: or just merge with the primary article listed. (Don't get angry at me)

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

May 2021

A page you created has been nominated for deletion because it is a biography of a living person that is entirely negative in tone and has unsourced content, according to section G10 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

Do not create articles about living people that are entirely negative in tone and unsourced. Wikipedia has a policy of verifiability and any negative information we use must be reliably sourced, and our articles must be balanced. Negative, unreferenced biographies of living people, along with attack pages, are not tolerated by Wikipedia, and users who create or repost such pages and images in violation of our biographies of living persons policy may be blocked from editing.

"Similarly liveshocking"

Hello!

I'm the one who changed the caption of the cow picture at Unusual articles back to "similarly shocking", after someone (can't remember who exactly, most likely an anonymous user) changed the caption to "similarly liveshocking". I can't search for the precise revision right now, but it was most likely made in February of 2021. Before that, it has long said "similarly shocking or udderly amoosing", with the first phrase linking to sibilance and not pun. I see you've set it back to the way it was before I restored it.

Now, English isn't my native language so there might be a very obvious pun I am missing in "similarly liveshocking" - care to explain? I haven't seen the word "liveshocking" anywhere else. I'd like to make sure this edit makes sense. I'd be happy to take this discussion to the talk page if necessary. Kubi718 (talk) 00:13, 14 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Tagging pages for speedy deletion

Hello, Pyramids09,

Please do not tag any more pages for speedy deletion until you review Criteria for Speedy Deletion and better understand the criteria and what pages are appropriate to tag. If you have questions about editing on Wikipedia or the deletion process, please visit the Teahouse. Liz Read! Talk! 22:33, 26 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You also shouldn't be nominating articles for deletion. You may be well-intentioned, but your competence, at least at this point, is lacking.--Bbb23 (talk) 21:06, 2 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict) @Liz: Ironically, I came here to advise them on Prod- and AfD-tagging articles which were obviously more suitable for speedy deletion instead. (SaquibAnsari, ASAS & Partners Law Firm, Hero Electric Vehicles Pvt Ltd). @Pyramids09: Some pointers: 1) WP:PROD is intended for relatively uncontroversial deletions. If the tag is removed, by the author or anyone else, the deletion is by definition not an uncontroversial one, and while the article may indeed merit deletion, that deletion needs to be done by other means. 2) Nominating an article for WP:AFD is a multi-step process, and not all of those steps were followed. Tagging the article is only Step 1. Step 2 is to create a discussion page for the nomination. In two of the above cases, this was not done, and in the third (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/SaquibAnsari), more needed to be done. All discussion pages need to start with the use of the {{afd2}} template. This template is important because it populates the page with important links that other editors will need to properly evaluate the article (including a link back to the article itself). Further, it also make the page visible to certain bots which perform regular maintenance tasks. Without the template, it's highly unlikely people will even be aware of the discussion and the page could languish in obscurity for weeks. Step 3 is to transclude the discussion page to a daily log page where the editors who normally monitor these discussions can find it easily (Bonus: If you've done Step 2 right, a bot will do Step 3 for you). All three of the above-mentioned pages have been speedied, and the discussion page you created was also speedily deleted as malformed and redundant given the speedy deletion of the associated article. For future AfD nominations, please fully follow the instructions at WP:AFDHOWTO. Let me know if you have further questions. Thanks, and happy editing! --Finngall talk 21:27, 2 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you good sir. I am pretty new to Wikipedia, so I am still learning. Have a nice day! Pyramids09 (talk) 21:29, 2 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I just declined a WP:G5 tag you placed on Falana Dikhana as the article is ineligible for that tag. Consider this a final warning. Do not tag, nominate, or PROD any more articles. If you do, you risk being blocked.--Bbb23 (talk) 18:32, 7 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Bbb23 Sorry sir, I won't do it again. I was deletion happy. Please accept my apology. Pyramids09 (talk) 18:56, 7 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Proposing articles for deletion

Hi Pyramids09, you tagged St Josephs Catholic Primary School earlier with PROD tag while the article was only 3 minutes old - we usually don't tag pages so soon (unless they are blatant vandalism, copyright violations or attack pages) in order to allow the editor some time (say 10-15 minutes at least) to develop the article as they may be new to editing (they are in this case). Also you didn't give a reason why you wanted it deleted or notify the creator (see WP:PROD for instructions on proposing articles for deletion). I removed the PROD tag and therefore it should not be re-added, if you still wish to have the article go through a deletion process you may take it to AfD or tag it with an appropriate CSD tag. Thank you for your contributions JW 1961 Talk 22:34, 26 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited NGC 678, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Aries. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:30, 4 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nicole Zitzmann moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Nicole Zitzmann, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:00, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, just to explain, I've moved this to drafts, because a single sentence (possibly copied from the cited source) backed up by a single primary source, is nowhere near enough to establish notability. To be clear, I'm not saying this person isn't notable, she may well be, but the short stub you had created does not demonstrate that.
More to the point, there already exists an earlier draft of this article at Draft:Nicole Zitzmann, which is more developed and better sourced, and even that hasn't been accepted. It seems sensible to me to give that draft the 'right of way' here. --DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:08, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
DoubleGrazing Thank you for alerting me. I did not know that there was already a draft. Have a nice day! Pyramids09 (talk) 15:17, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Fair enough, I didn't know either, until I first tried to draftify yours, and it said there already exists a draft by that name. :) --DoubleGrazing (talk) 16:47, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Mr.Nightmare requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Edit warring

Please stop edit warring on User talk:Cameronnewland. Per WP:OWNTALK, Cameronnewland is entitled to remove content from their own talk page. It is not appropriate to revert an editor who has removed content from their own talk page. Schazjmd (talk) 00:53, 18 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Seconded. Repeatedly reverting like that can be construed as harassment, and removal is taken as an indication the message has been read. Only active declined unblock messages may not be removed. Acroterion (talk) 00:55, 18 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict) +1 Per WP:BLANKING, the only things a registered user may not delete from their page are declined unblock templates and CSD/MfD tags that apply to the page itself. -- Tamzin (she/they) | o toki tawa mi. 00:57, 18 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Schazjmd, Acroterion, & Tamzin, So sorry! I should not poke my nose into other people’s talk pages.

Thank you for alerting me to this. Have a nice day! Pyramids09 (talk) 01:01, 18 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Blanking pages

Hello, Pyramids09,

Please do not blank pages by other editors. If you think a page should be deleted, tag it for deletion. Twinkle is a helpful tool to give you different criteria for speedy deletion. You should also review Criteria for Speedy Deletion. But leaving a blank page doesn't help anyone. If you find a problem, please tag it so that another editor or admin can fix it if you can't. If you have questions about deletion or the editing process, please visit the Teahouse. Liz Read! Talk! 02:34, 25 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Liz, Sorry about that. I am still pretty new to Wikipedia, so I am still learning.

Thank you, and have a nice day! Pyramids09 (talk) 02:47, 25 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove your editor signature as you did right here. Why would you remove your signature from a warning? I'm beginning to wonder if you are trolling us. Liz Read! Talk! 03:42, 25 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Liz, First, I don't know why i removed my signature, and secondly, I am not trolling.

Hope this clears this up. Pyramids09 (talk) 03:46, 25 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

DJRSD Ok. Next time I will create a article, I will use better sources. Have a nice day! Pyramids09 (talk) 18:24, 8 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked

I have blocked you for 48 hours for abuse of process. You tagged Green Airlines as an WP:A7 without notifying the author of the article. You have been warned many times that your conduct in this area, as well as other areas normally reserved for experienced editors, is a problem. If after this block expires, you persist in this kind of misconduct, you risk being blocked indefinitely. See WP:GAB for your appeal rights.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:28, 20 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Bbb23 Ok. I have realized I have so much to learn. I try to be the hero, and I fail. I am not mad, I have realized that I should not do stuff that I do not understand. Also, thank you for only giving me a 48 hour block, lots of time to reflect.

Summaries reminder

Hello! First off, many thanks for your contributions to the project. Generally best to try and make sure you leave an edit summary for each edit you make, so people can tell at a glance what you've changed. Some tools, like Twinkle, leave edit summaries for you, but for others you'll have to type them in yourself. If that takes too long, you could try using some common short-hand terms for different types of edit (Wikipedia:Edit summary legend/Quick reference), or just giving a brief note on what you changed. Happy editing, and please keep contributing! your help is greatly appreciated.

my dimetrodon restoration

According to someone else on the paleoart review, you tagged my dimetrodon as inaccurate, and they said you should be able to elaborate on what exactly about it is inaccurate. I really want to fix all the issues with the drawing so i can keep using it, and 'proportions' doesn't really explain enough to help me fix it. i don't know how to actually post the image here, but it's on my profile.

Your warning

What edit prompted this warning?-- Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 20:18, 14 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The recent edits. I did not pick a specific one. If that is not allowed, please tell me. Have a Nice Day! Pyramids09 (talk) 20:52, 14 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
If you're going to warn an editor about personal attacks, you should be able to point to at least one recent diff that led you to leave the warning. In this case, the IP was warned about using article talk pages as forums on April 10th and hasn't done so since, nor have they made further personal attacks since previous warnings and blocks (by me). By leaving a warning after previous warnings have been removed and no further personal attacks have taken place, you're just drumming up drama. I don't doubt it was done in good faith, but it was ill-advised. No need to poke the bear.-- Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 21:02, 14 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Happy First Edit Day!

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 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.

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