Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to Armenia, Azerbaijan, or related conflicts, 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.

As previously advised, you are not allowed to edit these topics until you have reached 500 edits and 30 days on your account. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 13:27, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

Dear Rosguill,

That message was not meant for me; it was a mistake (please see Talk:Caucasian_dragon_carpets), and I am deleting it.

My edits are not targeting anyone or any ethnicity, and I am not adding any information. I was simply reverting. You can check my edits. If, as a user reverting the edits of a vandalist IP address, there is a problem, I do not know what to say. Göycen (talk) 20:05, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

ANI notice

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. KhndzorUtogh (talk) 21:40, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

As a WP:CTOP arbitration remedy, I have removed your extended-confirmed status indefinitely due to WP:GAMING behavior to reach EC in an editing spree which included several disruptive page-moves. You may appeal this no sooner than 3 months at my talk page or WP:AN. I would also advise you to familiarize yourself with WP:TITLE, and that correcting your erroneous moves will be considered positively upon appeal. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 21:53, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

Dear @Rosguill,

I do not undertand the last change you have done? What is against wikipedia policy? What kind of gamind I did, besides reverting same ip adress? Which thanks to me in last 20 days countles puppets of it detected. I have traced each of their changes and reported. Since extended confirmation I only reverted the changes from same account again.

I will definetely check WP:TITLE, because none of my moves was on intention of bending wikipedia policy. I updated many templates from Turkish wikipedia on last hours. Before moving pages i checked many other pages for the writing style. Could you please exactly tell me what kind of mistake i did. What exactly is wrong? Göycen (talk) 22:06, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

You engaged in behavior clearly attempting to game the system by rapidly making unnecessary edits in order to unlock extended-confirmed status and continue editing Nagorno-Karabakh conflict topics. Descriptions of such behavior to be avoided were included in links from the original notice that you received. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 22:22, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

I totally understand it, and I had no intention of misusing it. My aim, of course, is to revert disruptive changes from that person, and I always try not to introduce bias with my edits. I see people are watching my edits, but they have no intention of correcting information, even about their projects. For me, this is not over. As I stated, I am here to learn and try not to make the same mistakes again. I try to get a third opinion as much as I can.

After seeing that problem in Turkish pages (since every other Wikipedia has the district name after neighborhoods and villages, and most of the newly created pages have the district name afterwards, not every Turkish village has wikipedia page yet in English wikipedia, but village names are quite similar since most of them were named after the republic), I couldn't exactly find a reason in the bar, which is why I have chosen misspelling (which is not exactly true but the best fit among others). I admit that I liked finding this many changes that need to be done, and I can reach extended confimration.

If you have time, could you possibly show me the exact guide about this topic and why I shouldn't add district names even if there is only one of them in Wikipedia? Göycen (talk) 22:35, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

In case of future talks, I would like to state this one more time: the records are there. Once more, regarding the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict topics, I did not revert any Wikipedia users' or bot changes (extended confirmed or not). Göycen (talk) 22:43, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

WP:PLACEDAB. We don't have further specific guidance for Turkey, unfortunately. But more generally than that guideline, we don't disambiguate page titles unless we actually need to in order to differentiate from other existing articles. More precise, disambiguated titles do however make valid redirects to the page. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 23:01, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for your feedback. Here is the guideline used in Turkish wikipedia and it is as same as what i did. I intended to ensure consistency and accuracy. Most of the village pages in english wikipedia already follow this naming style, and my aim was to correct inconsistencies across related articles.

In my process, I added links to locations lacking Wikipedia pages to facilitate future article development and help distinguish these when they are created. I used the automatic redirect function during page moves to maintain link integrity and navigational ease but still it is not clear.

I can only say that making a lot of edits for a purpose can create bias, which I understand, but I still do not have a clue about the Turkish naming. This results in the following scenario: in the future, if a person comes here and creates their village's page by naming it without adding the district to the title, that page will stay that way eternally until another village with same name appears on Wikipedia. Shouldn't there be some consistency and style? Göycen (talk) 23:30, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

"regarding the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict topics, I did not revert any Wikipedia users' or bot changes"

But you did.[1][2][3][4] And GS/AA isn’t just about NK conflict articles, it covers a wide range of topics related to AA. But even then, these are clearly NK conflict edits. KhndzorUtogh (talk) 21:39, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

Hey, you are in the wrong place. 2 things that you wrote are different topics. We already discussed those changes, when you first reported me. Writing it to another place does not make you more legitimate. As a defender of policies(like all of us) what do you think about the edits of fellow @Archives908? Göycen (talk) 22:01, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

You claimed "regarding the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict topics, I did not revert any Wikipedia users' or bot changes", I showed it's clearly not the case and isn't even the only topic under GS/AA. Just be aware of what you say. KhndzorUtogh (talk) 22:37, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

Please leave this topic. I do not have time for this discussion. Check who are those people in your examples, they are all same person with different ips. ip adresses are not users in that sentence. Göycen (talk) 22:43, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
