Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, 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.

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.

Reference problems

User talk:RowanJ_LP#Reference problems applies to this "2" account also (editor pattern, regardless of which legit account they are using). DMacks (talk) 19:12, 21 April 2023 (UTC)

@DMacks Hi, let me explain why I made those edits, I don't do any chemistry articles anymore since I'm not trained in that area, and secondly, I use to copy sentences and paste them into Google looking for a NIH article to use for a citation, you may undo these edits, and I'm sorry for the false citations and hopefully you understand I've stopped doing that.

Please stop. If you continue to introduce inappropriate pages to Wikipedia, as you did at Machulishchy air base attack, you may be blocked from editing. If you need guidance on how to create appropriate pages, try using the Article Wizard. DMacks (talk) 17:47, 3 May 2023 (UTC)

Hi DMacks, what were exactly the issues of that article? I took a quick look at it and I assume it was basically a translation from the Russian Wikipedia article [1]. Was there some other problematic content not originally on the Russian article, or did they come from there? Super Ψ Dro 18:42, 3 May 2023 (UTC)

The article I deleted was a single sentence about "an American YouTuber who primarily does commentary over video games", and was written by RowanJ (so it's not a third-party overwriting RowanJ). DMacks (talk) 03:48, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

If something is translated from an other-language's wikipedia article, the editor is required to cite that fact (Help:Translation). DMacks (talk) 05:57, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

What I think happened was I edited that article because I thought it was my sandbox, I'm extremely sorry for the mistake that happened, it will not be repeated, and I'd like to say I do not mean to be disruptive and I edit on Wikipedia in order to spread true information on situations. RowanJ LP2 (talk) 14:58, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

In my sandbox, I have the legitimate article I posted, so if I have permission, I can reupload the article with the true and factual information. RowanJ LP2 (talk) 15:00, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

That is very strange. I remember having seen the blue link and clicking on it and it was just a normal article. Something must've happened. It could be worth taking a look at the deleted page's history, if that is possible. Super Ψ Dro 15:13, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

It was until I accidentally thought it was my sandbox and edited in it like it was, so it was deleted, which I found pretty extreme since they could've reverted my action and I could've realized then. RowanJ LP2 (talk) 15:16, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

Will take a look in a few hr...thanks for providing the additional explanation. DMacks (talk) 16:20, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

I undeleted and reverted it to the actual airbase content you had posted. Did you actually write this from scratch, or is it mostly a translation of the ruwiki article? DMacks (talk) 18:08, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

I translated it from the ruwiki article, I did forget to say that. RowanJ LP2 (talk) 12:58, 5 May 2023 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for May 7

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of terrorist incidents linked to the Islamic State, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Bloomberg. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:09, 7 May 2023 (UTC)

Extended-confirmed restriction

Hi RowanJ LP2,

I have noticed that you have recently edited pages related to the Russo-Ukrainian War. Please note that, due to community consensus documented at WP:GS/RUSUKR, only extended-confirmed editors may make such edits.

When in doubt, please assume that a topic is covered by this restriction. We call this "broadly construed". If this still leaves you unsure about whether a topic is affected by the restriction, feel free to ask on my talk page.

This is not widely announced to newcomers, so I'm not blaming or condemning you for not knowing about this. I'm also not saying that your editing has been problematic in any other way. Your edit may well have been perfectly fine in all other regards, yet may have been removed for this reason.

Additionally, Wikipedia's Arbitration Committee has recognized "Eastern Europe or the Balkans" as a generally contentious topic area. Don't worry: The restriction to extended-confirmed editors is about the Russo-Ukrainian War, not the entirety of Eastern Europe and the Balkans. The box below contains standardized advice for everyone.

You have recently made edits related to Eastern Europe or the Balkans. This is a standard message to inform you that Eastern Europe or the Balkans is a designated contentious topic. This message does not imply that there are any issues with your editing. For more information about the contentious topics system, please see Wikipedia:Contentious topics.

This may be confusing, so I'll attempt to summarize it:

• Only extended-confirmed editors may edit pages related to the Russo-Ukrainian War. Details and exceptions can be found at WP:GS/RUSUKR.
• All edits about Eastern Europe and the Balkans, by all users, need to be done with extra care.

I hope this helps. Please let me know if there are any questions.

Best regards,

Thank you for your contributions. It seems that you have added Creative Commons licensed text to one or more Wikipedia articles. You are welcome to import appropriate Creative Commons licensed content to articles, but in order to meet the Wikipedia guideline on plagiarism, such content must be fully attributed. This requires not only acknowledging the source, but acknowledging that the source is copied. There are several methods to do this described at Wikipedia:Plagiarism#Compatibly licensed sources, including the usage of an attribution template. Please make sure that any Creative Commons content you have already imported is fully attributed. Thank you. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 16:08, 20 June 2023 (UTC)

September 2023

Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to False memory, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. The Mr Peanut theory sounds plausible, but it doesn't seem to be in any of the three sources used for the Monopoly story. Belbury (talk) 14:34, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

Page protection request for Aaron Judge

Hi! I wanted to check in with your about your request to protect Aaron Judge, to let you know why I declined it. Usually, page protection doesn't happen when the vandalism is caused by one editor. It's less disruptive to block that editor (which I DID do) than to protect the whole page. If that sort of vandalism happens again, whether it's a single logged-in account or a single IP account, it's preferable to report the problem at WP:AIV. Cheers! Joyous! Noise! 18:45, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

Thank you very much! I understand why you declined it, but still, thank you. RowanJ LP2 (talk) 00:46, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.

Proposed deletion of Johnny Somali

The article Johnny Somali has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

I don't see the relevance of a random unruly tourist/attention seeker to be added to Wikipedia

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

This bot DID NOT nominate any of your contributions for deletion; please refer to the history of each individual page for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 10:00, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
