Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions; however, please remember the essential rule of respecting copyrights. Edits to Wikipedia, such as your edit to the page Lucy's Law, may not contain material from copyrighted sources unless that text is available under a suitable free license. It is almost never okay to copy extensive text out of a book or website and paste it into a Wikipedia article with little or no alteration, though you can clearly and briefly quote copyrighted text in the right circumstances. Content that does not comply with this legal rule must be removed. For more information on this, see:

Hello, I'm Rkieferbaum. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Harriet Harman, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! Rkieferbaum (talk) 13:50, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles, 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.

Hello Xwv9009,

If you use Wikipedia as a political battleground, casting aspersions or being uncivil towards other editors (such as in your recent edit summaries for the article about Lisa Cameron), or if you convert Wikipedia to a newspaper for celebrity gossip, you may be blocked from editing or topic banned from biographical articles about living people.

The Task Center and the community portal may provide helpful ideas.

Best regards,

WikipediaThank you. I understand fully why you have left these messages and will strive to be more adherent to the guidelines set out in the wikipedia pages you have posted. As a new editor I will contact the mentor assigned to me if i have any future issues.

I will thoroughly read the Wikipedia:Task Center and the community portal as you have suggested.

Please bear in mind and be patient with a new editor. I have also made a number of constructive edits which I hope helps the community.

Have a good day

Thank You Xwv9009 (talk) 11:18, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Frost. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions—specifically this edit to Jon Bon Jovi—because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk. Thanks. Frost 08:54, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
