2022 Russian Invasion Infobox

FYI, I think you did a good job with your list, as they had to reference it in their response, and had to at least be forced to admit no consensus:

Editors pointed to a number of other articles about wars that included

The only real point refernced in the conclusion was that "the box might be too long," which makes me think that if we started by just proposing "recon+intelligence" support--or some other, similar smaller category of support--that this objection would be pushed to the side and be able to win an RfC. Then with that established, later, this RfC could be brought up again to include the arms suppliers in the infobox as I think people would be used to it by then.

Also, FWIW, I kind of get the impression that the real, unsaid reason that people didn't want to list arms suppliers as the belligerents was because there's still a lot of people emotionally invested in portraying it as "Russia/Belarus/etc. v. Ukraine by themselves." That's to be expected, there's a lot of emotion being tied up with all of this at the moment. Fephisto (talk) 04:05, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 30

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited GM 6T40 transmission, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Aveo. 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.)

ethnicelebs.com as a reference

Hi SouthernResidentOrca. I noticed that you used ethnicelebs.com as a reference for biographical information in D'Arcy Carden. Please note that the general consensus as expressed at WP:RSN is that it does not meet the reliable sourcing criteria for the inclusion of personal information in such articles. I've gone ahead and removed it. User:XLinkBot removes it automatically, but it doesn't catch all cases. If you disagree, let's discuss it. You may want to check WP:RSP and WP:RSN to help determine if a source is reliable. Thanks.--Hipal (talk) 15:59, 3 June 2023 (UTC)

Ok thanks for letting me know. SouthernResidentOrca (talk) 18:39, 3 June 2023 (UTC)

I glanced at the references used by the ethnicelebs article. Most cannot be used per RSP, though it may be worthwhile to look through them for usable primary sources. --Hipal (talk) 20:58, 3 June 2023 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to Eastern Europe or the Balkans, 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.

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.
