  Hello, I'm Ternera. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions—specifically this edit to Battle of Hattin—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. Ternera (talk) 20:58, 20 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Ternera, accuracy is, generally, instructive. There is no doctrine in which the area around Tiberias- never part of any proposed Palestinian state- can be appropriately called 'Occupied Palestine.' Moreover, a description of the area as 'Occupied Palestine' is a speculative, conclusory, argument, as opposed to a neutral, factual description of the present territorial situation, that the area is controlled by, or forms part of, the state of Israel. I will consequently correct your change. 89.138.193.67 (talk) 21:11, 20 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Introduction to contentious topics

edit

You have recently edited a page related to India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, 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. Wiiformii (talk) 21:16, 20 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
