@Historydiver Hey, if you want to create an article, here is a guide for you: Help:Your first article. It's best to create a draft first, so you can take your time writing it, without it being deleted. Hypnôs (talk) 03:13, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

Younger Dryas and it's Impact Hypothesis

Aloha @Hypnôs! Please don't misunderstand my comments on Talk:Younger Dryas#Spaghetti code source. I now see that you have a great deal of experience in this citation method and usage of footnotes from looking at the site Great Pyramid of Giza where you are a major contributor. This appears to be a well written article and I have bookmarked it for later reading.

Looking at Template:Sfn, I was able to implement a few of the basic examples in my sandbox and realized that other less experienced users, such as Dudley Miles and Proxy Data who have knowledge that could improve Wikipedia in these areas may have difficulty using the Sfn method I think that Gilgamesh's concern may have addressed his own issue by inserting carriage returns so that each line of the Template:Cite is on a separate line in source editing mode. The only edits I found for Gilgamesh are regarding this formatting useful for source editing, except for the major revert to content added by Dudley Miles on Talk:Younger Dryas.

I suggest that you look for a site other than Younger Dryas or YDIH that is more stable, and has less citations to introduce this citation method. It has several advantages, and in the Giza Pyramid article you answered a question I had about making the Bibliography alphabetical by first author last name. Reading over the Sfn template, there may be some other methods that may make it easier for new editors. I would also support documenting a case for the Wikipedia template developers to help automate this method to make something similar to the Visual editor Cite button support the Automated and Re-Use functions. For example, the "Cite: button could have a choice for "Inline HTML reference" (the current functionality), a raw citation (as in the Bibliography section of Giza), and generate and Sfn tag (where the user could enter the tag, (e.g., [Author_Name YYYYa]) instead of Sfn automatically entering the tag.

Welcome!

Hi Hypnôs! I noticed your contributions and wanted to welcome you to the Wikipedia community. I hope you like it here and decide to stay.

I've noticed that you've expressed an interest in the Arab–Israeli conflict. Unfortunately, due to a history of conflict and disruptive editing it has been designated a contentious topic and is subject to some strict rules.

The rule that affects you most as a new or IP editor is the prohibition on making any edit related to the Arab–Israel conflict unless you are logged into an account and that account is at least 30 days old and has made at least 500 edits.

This prohibition is broadly construed, so it includes edits such as adding the reaction of a public figure concerning the conflict to their article or noting the position of a company or organization as it relates to the conflict.

The exception to this rule is that you may request a specific change to an article on the talk page of that article or at this page. Please ensure that your requested edit complies with our neutral point of view and reliable sourcing policies, and if the edit is about a living person our policies on biographies of living people as well.

Any edits you make contrary to these rules are likely to be reverted, and repeated violations can lead to you being blocked from editing.

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 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.
