{{Refend}}Donald Trump–Russia dossier edit
I have reverted your edit to Donald Trump–Russia dossier, which added an external link to the dossier. I believe you didn't know this, but a year ago the dossier was hosted in Wikipedia Commons, but this discussion concluded that there's no evidence that Buzzfeed had copyright owner's right to publish the document. Hence, per WP:COPYVIOEL we can't even add an external link to document.
Just few weeks ago an administrator revision deleted [1] about 300 revisions from the article history because the article linked to dossier (same link that you used). Politrukki (talk) 11:02, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
Introduction to contentious topics edit
You have recently edited a page related to gender-related disputes or controversies or people associated with them, 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.
