Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Algiers expedition (1516)
Thanks for your vote. However, the nominated page is already named "Algiers expedition (1516)". You obviously meant to keep "Algiers expedition (1516)" as the title, and use "Capture of Algiers (1516)" as the redirect. In that case, would you mind changing it to something more clear like "Keep "Algiers expedition (1516)" as the title, and merge "Capture of Algiers (1516)" to it.", with ''keep'' and ''merge'' in boldface. – Demetrios1993 (talk) 17:56, 30 December 2025 (UTC)
:You're totally right! Fixed, sorry about that :) Twistybrastrap (talk) 14:49, 31 December 2025 (UTC)

You are invited to discuss on the merger of WK Kellogg Co ↗
{{reply to|Twistybrastrap}} The reason why I am sending you this message is because User:ScrubbedFalcon closed the discussion as merge, I 100% disagree with it. I have created an against the merge section on the page Talk:Ferrero SpA ↗, with multiple reasons of why I am against it. Catfurball (talk) 23:55, 12 March 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 ''' complementary and alternative medicine ↗''', 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 <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. tgeorgescu (talk) 23:01, 6 May 2026 (UTC) </p>}}<!-- Derived from Template:Contentious topics/alert/first -->
