- For the record, I reported this as a false positive and re-asserted my changes. My edits were certainly not intended to be vandalism, and as of this memo, there has been no refutation by a human. Baltarstar (talk) 12:50, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
Short descriptions
editHello, I just thought I'd nip this in the bud before there's too many articles to go back and fix. Short descriptions always go at the very top of the page. Always. Check out MOS:ORDER. I fixed a couple of them for you. Also, ALL articles should have a short description. You removed it at Timeline of prehistory. Oddly, you removed the dating too. I have restored them. Be mindful of that in your future edits. Thank you and happy editting. Masterhatch (talk) 18:11, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you! My mistake. I do believe that was the only instance in which I did that. Baltarstar (talk) 18:29, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
- Please make sure you leave the SD at the top per MOS:ORDER. I just fixed it at Timeline of historic inventions. Masterhatch (talk) 22:32, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
Please don't change from British to American spelling in an article as you did at Timeline of historic inventions. MOS:VAR is quite clear: "When either of two styles is acceptable it is inappropriate for a Wikipedia editor to change from one style to another unless there is some substantial reason for the change". I reverted the spelling change. Thank you, Masterhatch (talk) 17:34, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
Introduction to contentious topics
editYou have recently edited a page related to post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people, 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.
