Introduction to contentious topics

edit

You have recently edited a page related to Eastern Europe or the Balkans, 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.

Your editing style

edit

Thank you for your work in improving coverage of topics less known to English-speaking audience. Two major remarks though so far.

  • Please keep in mind that other Wikiopedia articles cannot serve as references inn Wikipedia, because, funny as it soyunds, Wikipedia is not a reliable source for Wikipedia. Please get yourself faamilial with our major policies about citing: WP:Reliable sources, WP:CITE, WP:Verifiability.
  • Please do not try to introduce Belarusian orthography into Englis-language Wikipedia with the help of wikilinks. This makes reading articles difficult. Naming must be consistent. It is an annoyance to see in one article Vilija andd Vialla in another one. Please stick to the spellings used in titles of the corresponding Wikipedia articles. Of course, if you are creating pages about subjects little known in English world, you can chose spelling coming from the native language. Please read more in WP:Naming guideline.

Servač (Vilija) moved to draftspace

edit

An article you recently created, Servač (Vilija), is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more in-depth coverage about the subject itself, with citations from reliable, independent sources in order to show it meets WP:GNG. It should have at least three, to be safe. And please remember that interviews, as primary sources, do not count towards GNG.(?) 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.Onel5969 TT me 11:53, 10 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
