Introduction to contentious topics


{{ivmbox | image = Commons-emblem-notice.svg |imagesize=50px | bg = #E5F8FF | text = You have recently edited a page related to '''India ↗, Pakistan ↗, and Afghanistan ↗''', a topic designated as '''contentious ↗'''. This standard message is designed as an 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 special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

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

<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>}}<!-- Derived from Template:Contentious topics/alert/first --> &#32;Bookku (talk) 01:51, 14 June 2023 (UTC)

:It is not to say you have broken any rule, but this is a friendly advance intimation to be aware of ".. editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page—whether involving the same or different material—within a 24-hour period. .. Violations of this rule often attract blocks.." more info @ WP:3RR ↗. In case of content disagreements users are supposed to follow WP:DR ↗. &#32;Bookku (talk) 02:04, 14 June 2023 (UTC)

::Your interpretation of said policies is incorrect and consequently your edits to the Vivek Ramaswamy article have been undone.

Re: Interview Request


Hi RogerYg -- I just saw your response on my Talk page ... I wanted to be sure you understood where I am coming from. I was reaching out to you as a journalist, not as a "Wikipedia person," although I do edit Wikipedia articles from time to time, including your Talk page, which I am editing right now. That is why I included my email and explained my writing background.
Totally get it if you don't want to participate in journalism *about* Wikipedia, but I wanted to be clear about what you were turning down.
All the best. Chomsky1 (talk) 17:59, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

:Thanks, yes I understand your point, but still I will be unable to participate in such interview at this time. Thanks RogerYg (talk) 19:22, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Please do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to :Science of Identity Foundation ↗. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy ↗ and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia.

:I have provided valid WP policies, such as WP:BLP and WP:NPOV that I think apply for my edits. If you disagree, the same should be discussed on the article's TALK page per WP:TALK.
:However, I feel you are trying to intimidate me against making any edits by such posting such broad warnings:
:" do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis"
:I would humbly remind you that such veiled threats may violates Wikipedia's civility policy per WP:BULLY ↗
:I would assume good faith for now, and hope you refrain from such threats in the future and engage in civil discussion on the article TALK page per WP:TALK.
:Please take WP:BULLY ↗ in consideration in the future discussions. Thanks.
:WikiBullying is using Wikipedia to threaten and/or intimidate other people, whether they are Wikipedia editors or not. Doing so violates Wikipedia's civility policy, and is not allowed anywhere on Wikipedia.
:Thanks. RogerYg (talk) 06:51, 12 March 2025 (UTC)
::That wasn't bullying. It was a routine warning. Note that I am speaking as an editor with over 260,000 edits who has been a member of the WP:Arbitration Committee ↗ and is an Administrator. <span style="color:#070">Doug Weller</span> talk 08:04, 12 March 2025 (UTC)
:::Thanks Doug Weller, I appreciate your feedback. I have also assumed good faith for this warning for now.
:::Since you have responded, I would like to clarify that I had to bring up the WP:Bully consideration to have more civil discussions in the future, as this editor has a history of uncivil responses in many of our discussions on the TALK page of Science of Identity Foundation ↗
:::https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Science_of_Identity_Foundation ↗
:::https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Science_of_Identity_Foundation/Archive_1 ↗
:::Most of my edits were reverted without any meaningful discussion, but I have continued to give benefit of doubt and assume good faith.
:::I also stopped editing and DISENGAGED from the SIF page for several weeks to keep things civil, and will continue to aim for good faith civil dicussions. Thanks again for taking note. RogerYg (talk) 11:22, 12 March 2025 (UTC)
:::''Examples of past discussions:''
:::I agree with Str1977 (talk) on this issue that BLP is mainly to prevent questionable "potentially libelious claims". It sets higher standards for sources used in BLP article to avoid controversial slandering claims. The TOI ref is not making any slandering claim, rather it helps to counter such claims. Also, we are not using TOI as a stand alone ref, rather as supporting other WP:RS refs, so its use can be justified. Further, it helps and to bring NPOV balance. Thanks. RogerYg (talk) 15:00, 14 December 2024 (UTC)
:::''You're both wrong. BLP states, Be very firm about the use of high-quality sources. Sanctions apply. --Hipal (talk) 17:28, 14 December 2024 (UTC)''
:::Can any one editor decide which reference is superior and delete other references from WP:RS sources without broader discussion and consensus? These were some of the issues being discussed. Meanwhile, I think some balance has been restored in the article. (I will likely be taking a break from this page for some time per WP:DISENGAGE). Thanks. RogerYg (talk) 03:35, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
:::But, when we found High Quality Reliable sources such as The Washington Post and Politico with similar relevant content about change in Gabbard's beliefs such as on homosexuality per WP:BLPBALANCE, sadly that is also being opposed. Thanks. RogerYg (talk) 11:04, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
:::''You're just continuing to work from assumptions. The fact is that this article isn't about Gabbard's beliefs. Pretending otherwise in order to rationalize the addition of content is a POV violation. --Hipal (talk) 18:03, 17 January 2025 (UTC)''
:::Thanks. RogerYg (talk) 11:22, 12 March 2025 (UTC)
::::RogerYg, as with our previous discussion, I think it best to disengage. Please consider it carefully.
::::{{tq|I have provided valid WP policies, such as WP:BLP and WP:NPOV that I think apply for my edits.}} Yes, you have. Others disagree that your concerns are valid, that your interpretation of policy is valid, and have concerns that you are referencing policy to support something that's clearly contrary to that policy. I'd hoped that the RfC would change that, but apparently it has not.
::::I'm happy to redact anything I have written to follow our behavioral policies better. However, please note your own comments directed at others, such as the ones I copied above ↗. --Hipal (talk) 16:48, 12 March 2025 (UTC)
:::::Well, there are very few active editors on SIF Wiki page for a proper discussion at this time, therefore I will DISENGAGE until there is better editing environment there. I hope we can have more civil discussions in the future. Thanks. RogerYg (talk) 06:49, 13 March 2025 (UTC)

Suggestion for too much detail



@RogerYg Thanks for adding details in the section for "Influence on American culture & beliefs ↗". I noticed that there was too much detail with many WP:PUFFERY ↗ words, which I have cleaned up. You may want to read MOS:WTW ↗. Using such words unnecessarily increases the word count for the page and makes it difficult to read. Asteramellus (talk) 20:58, 4 April 2025 (UTC)

:Hi ,
:Thanks for discussing this. While I agree against using WP:PUFFERY ↗ words, often specific detalis are needed to justify content as WP:DUE ↗.
:Also, the issue here was not Pufferey, but providing the specific point to justify it's inclusion as WP:DUE ↗.
:The case of Wilbur award-winning Lisa Miller which is almost like Oscar for religion authors.
:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_Communicators_Council#Wilbur_Awards
:Problem was I removed Wilbur, also thinking of word count, which was incorrect.
:If Lisa Miller is just another author on religion, her point will not carry enough weight for its inclusion for Hindu Americans, and any editor can remove the content noting WP:UNDUE ↗
:Therefore, we have to find a balance between avoiding Puffery and justifying WP:DUE content. Thanks. RogerYg (talk) 04:42, 5 April 2025 (UTC)

Excessive citations



What is the point of adding ↗ the same New York Times source that is cited at the end of the sentence, again mid-sentence?

Mid-sentence citations should be generally avoided because they make the text hard to read. We use them only in exceptional circumstances, and they should never be multiple citataions. Please keep in mind that the general public things of the citations as a nuisance. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 18:38, 2 May 2025 (UTC)

:While is agree with your guidance on references in general, this article is highly debated, so we need multiple references until there is a larger agreement on the content. I also replied on the TALK page. Thanks again. RogerYg (talk) 04:27, 3 May 2025 (UTC)

:Hi Wikieditor662,
:Thanks for reaching out. It's been a while. I guess we helped editing Tulsi Gabbard or JD Vance page. - RY RogerYg (talk) 04:09, 29 November 2025 (UTC)
::It's possible, I'm not sure how good my memory is, but I think we discussed Kash Patel ↗ before.
::I've been wanting to create a group and eventually a project designed to ensure fairness (among other things) on Wikipedia. The guides said I need to find members who are interested first. I found one person other than me so far, @Deamonpen, who will participate. You can see more about the plan on their message board. Would you like to help out, or if nothing else become a member? Wikieditor662 (talk) 04:15, 29 November 2025 (UTC)
:::Okay, I found one our TALk page message on Kash Patel, agreeing about removing ''conspiracy theorist'' from the lede to make it fair and neutral.
:::''I think Wikieditor662 (talk) has raised some valid concerns on MOS:FIRST. To best of my knowledge, there has been no serious discussion on MOS:FIRST and WP:Firstsentence on this page, even though this is a WP:BLP article. Also, Wikieditor662 has shown concern on avoiding edit-war, which in my humble view, shows sincerity to contribute responsibly.

Hindu Mythology section in Wikipedia Project Hinduism "Open Tasks"



Hi @RogerYg, There is a section in Wikipedia Project Hinduism called "Open Tasks." The subset on Hindu mythology has some articles that are only 1 or 2 paragraphs and some that are literally just one sentence. Would you be interested in going through this list with me and expanding, deleting, or merging these articles to cross them off the "Open Tasks" list one by one? It definitely does not make sense to have articles on very minor figures of Hindu mythology that are so short. It would be more useful to add that same information in the context of the text or relevant myth article. Let me know in any case! Hemmingweigh (talk) 03:11, 16 June 2026 (UTC)

:Thanks for update. Yes, I will try to work on those.
:You can send me some specific short articles, and link to the project page. Thanks. RogerYg (talk) 17:26, 16 June 2026 (UTC)
::Hi @RogerYg, thanks so much for working with me on this. It is under "Open Tasks" in Wikipedia:WikiProject Hinduism ↗. Here is the link ↗ to the list of articles I mentioned. Maybe you can get started on Namas and Madravati and go from there? I think the content of the articles could be added to the Sakti Sangama Tantra and Mahabharata articles respectively and then a request could be made for these articles to be deleted. What do you think? Hemmingweigh (talk) 00:19, 18 June 2026 (UTC)
:::While I understand your point about many short articles or stubs, I like to think for the future, and we will keep getting more material and sources to expand most of them.
:::I am mostly not in favor of deleting them and merging them into already large articles, such as Mahabharata, which are already quite long. My reasoning is also based on difficult experience of adding new articles, as many don't get approved.
:::So, I will try to expand some articles, such as Namas (rishi). We can delete or merge only when there seems no scope for reliable sources. Thanks. RogerYg (talk) 07:38, 18 June 2026 (UTC)
::::Sure, that sounds good to me as well. Thanks so much! Hemmingweigh (talk) 02:11, 19 June 2026 (UTC)
