Do not link an article to itself



Hi, please do not link an article to itself, as you did {{diff|Ming_dynast|1277262164|1277209467|here}} at Ming dynasty ↗. The MediaWiki ↗ software will not display it as a link, although it may bold it. However, as the '''Great Ming''' was already bolded, this was superfluous.

:Ok thanks! Shiloh1914 (talk) 19:20, 23 February 2025 (UTC)

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Thanks for contributing to the article :Blaise Metreweli ↗. However, one of Wikipedia's core policies is that contributions must be verifiable ↗ through reliable sources ↗, preferably using inline citations ↗. Please help by adding more sources to the article you edited, and/or by clarifying how the sources already given support the claims (see here ↗ for how to do inline referencing). If you need further help, you can look at Help:Menu/Editing Wikipedia ↗, or ask at the Teahouse ↗, or just ask me. Thank you.<!-- Template:uw-refimprove --> Dormskirk (talk) 01:49, 9 November 2025 (UTC)

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style ↗ that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in :Spanish American wars of independence ↗, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page ↗ to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. ''See MOS:OVERLINK ↗.''<!-- Template:uw-mos1 --> CodeTalker (talk) 20:12, 10 January 2026 (UTC)

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Please do not use styles that are nonstandard, unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in :1875 in Sweden ↗. There is a Manual of Style ↗, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Thank you.<!-- Template:uw-mos2 --> <span style="color:#4B0082;">Tb</span><span style="color:#6082B6;">hotch</span><sup><span style="color:#555555;">™</span></sup>&nbsp;(CC&nbsp;BY-SA&nbsp;4.0) 00:32, 12 January 2026 (UTC)

Overlinking



Please read MOS:OVERLINK ↗ and <strong><big>STOP</big></strong> linking names of countries, religions, dates, and other common words. CodeTalker (talk) 01:11, 12 January 2026 (UTC)
:I have reverted '''34''' of the edits that you made today, because they violated MOS:OVERLINK ↗. Can you please acknowledge that you understand why your edits were incorrect? CodeTalker (talk) 01:18, 12 January 2026 (UTC)
::OK Shiloh1914 (talk) 01:19, 12 January 2026 (UTC)
:::Further to the above; please do not add the same information contained in a previous line, as you did in the MI6 ↗ article. Thanks and regards, David J Johnson (talk) 16:19, 12 January 2026 (UTC)
::::OK thanks. To be honest, Im still getting used to wikipedia! LOL. Shiloh1914 (talk) 17:49, 12 January 2026 (UTC)

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:

<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 <em>procedures</em>, you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard ↗ or you may learn more about this contentious topic ↗. 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 --> Donald Albury 01:38, 23 January 2026 (UTC)
