Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of methods of capital punishment ↗, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Persian ↗.

Sandy Hook

Please use the talkpage to explain what you feel is "slanted" about a plain, well-sourced statement that the conspiracy theories are "contradictory, implausible, without evidence and offensive to those affected." Wikipedia documents mainstream views in major published media: omission of such views in the name of a false balance has a way of supporting fringe points of view.

They're offensive, absolutely, but to say so in the article is NNPOV which is against Wikipedia terms Gdeblois19 00:25, 27 July 2022 (UTC)

Edit warring

30px|left|alt=Stop icon ↗ Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war ↗; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page ↗ to work toward making a version that represents consensus ↗ among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done ↗. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard ↗ or seek dispute resolution ↗. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection ↗.

'''Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing ↗'''—especially if you violate the three-revert rule ↗, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts ↗ on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—'''even if you do not violate the three-revert rule'''—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. ~ <span style="background:red; color:white; padding:2px; border:1px solid red;">'''HAL'''</span><span style="background:black; color:white; padding:2px; border:1px solid red;">'''333'''</span> 04:52, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open! ↗

Hi,<br>
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election ↗. The Arbitration Committee ↗ is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process ↗. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans ↗, topic bans ↗, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy ↗ describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements ↗ and submit your choices on the voting page ↗.

Timothy McVeigh

Hi,

De facto interpretation of the WP:TERRORIST ↗ guideline is that no one is called a terrorist. There is a long-standing concensus that not even Osama bin-Laden or the hijackers are called terrorists: Talk:Osama bin Laden/FAQ ↗. I think I'll open a thread about this on the NPOV noticeboard, because the whole guideline is rather silly due to different interpretations in different articles. --Pudeo ' 03:32, 3 December 2015 (UTC)

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Before adding a category to an article, please make sure that the subject of the article really belongs in the category that you specified according to Wikipedia's categorization guidelines ↗.

Thank you.  107.10.236.42 ↗ (talk) 12:42, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

:Please read WP:Categorization ↗, particularly the section titled "Articles", which says:
::Categorization of articles must be '''verifiable ↗'''. It should be clear from verifiable information in the article why it was placed in each of its categories.

New Black Panther Party ↗

As the preceding section indicates, WP:Categorization#Articles ↗ requires that categories be verifiable ↗ -- that is, reliable sources in the article should support the inclusion of the article in the category.

New Black Panther Party ↗ doesn't say anything about far-left politics. Adding it to that category is impermissible original research ↗. Please don't do it again without reliable sources ↗ that indicate the group's politics are far-left. Thank you. — MShabazz <sup>Talk</sup>/<sub>Stalk ↗</sub> 13:03, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

Addition of Guiteau to the Oneida Community lead

I removed your addition of Charles J. Guiteau ↗] to the Oneida Community ↗ lead. I don't think this is pertinent to the lead as it is trivial ↗ within the article. Guiteau was never an integral part of the community, apparently did not fit in, & he left a couple of time. His presence is noted elsewhere in the article. Indeed, mention of his membership in the Oneida Community ↗ is not in the lead of Guiteau's own article. I think mentioning Guiteau in the lead detracts from the overview ↗ & gives undo weight ↗ to the assasin's presence at Oneida. Peaceray (talk) 20:39, 23 March 2017 (UTC)

Custom signature fix needed

Hi there! You have a custom signature set in your account preferences. Changes to Wikipedia's software ↗ have made your current custom signature invalid.

'''The problem:''' Your signature contains a syntax error or obsolete HTML tags.

'''The solutions:''' You can reset your signature to the default, you can fix your signature, or you can do nothing.

<div style="margin-left:1.6em;">
'''Solution 1: Reset your signature to the default:'''
# Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences ↗.
# Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "'''Treat the above as wiki markup.'''"
# Remove anything in the {{int:yournick}} text box.
# Click the blue "{{int:Saveprefs}}" button at the bottom of the page. (Do not click the red "{{int:Restoreprefs}}" button, which will reset all of your preference settings, not just the signature.)
'''Solution 2: Fix your custom signature:'''
# Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences ↗.
# Click the {{mw button|Learn more|normal}} button next to the error to learn how to fix the error.
# Update your signature to fix the error.

Introduction to contentious topics

{{ivmbox | image = Commons-emblem-notice.svg |imagesize=50px | bg = #E5F8FF | text = You have recently edited a page related to '''post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people''', a topic designated as '''''contentious ↗'''''. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and <em>does <strong>not</strong> imply that there are any issues with your editing</em>.

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 an expanded level of powers and discretion in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit <strong>carefully and constructively</strong>, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia ↗;

comply with all applicable policies and guidelines ↗;

follow editorial and behavioural best practices;

comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and

refrain from gaming the system ↗.

<p>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 {{tl|Ctopics/aware}} template. </p>}} '''Jay8g''' <small>[<nowiki />V•T•E ↗<nowiki />]</small> 21:19, 7 August 2025 (UTC)
