Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Poladpur, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page ST. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, --DPL bot (talk) 05:54, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief 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.

Additionally, you must be logged-in, have 500 edits and an account age of 30 days, and are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on a page within this topic.

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.

Thank you for your edits at Olivia Frank

Please be aware of the relevant restrictions above, particularly concerning the I/P conflict.

I like your edits, but am slightly confused why you removed this reference? FortunateSons (talk) 14:04, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

thanks for letting me know about the policy.

i changed the reference from a Tablet article generally about Hoffmann to the specific Tablet article that covers Frank saying she recognized Hoffman.

just realized the first link was there because that was the actual Tablet article she read where she recognized Hoffman. i don't think that was clear before.

perhaps it should be a note rather than the reference? For example, "This is the Tablet article where she recognized Hoffman." Rainsage (talk) 15:57, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Makes sense, it’s probably a good idea :)

I will think about the optimal way to include it. FortunateSons (talk) 12:53, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ok sounds good. Rainsage (talk) 19:39, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

August 2024

Please stop your disruptive editing.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Gaza Strip famine, you may be blocked from editing. If you add content and are reverted, you don't get to simply add it back and insist that it remain there during a talk discussion. The WP:ONUS is on the editor who seeks inclusion of disputed content. That's why it's called "bold-revert-discuss" not "bold-revert-revert-discuss".

Ok thanks for letting me know. I got confused between the two policies. Will remember for future. Rainsage (talk) 00:04, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well I looked up "bold-revert-discuss" and it says it's optional and not mandated policy. As far as I know, 1RR is not optional. Sure, we can follow BRD, but it seems unfair to term me asking you to follow 1RR as "disruptive editing". Rainsage (talk) 00:45, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

September 2024

Hello, I'm Sumanuil. Thank you for your recent contributions to Pierre Chaulet. I noticed that you added an image to the article's infobox as a thumbnail. In future, please do not use thumbnails when adding images to an infobox, as this is against the Manual of Style. When adding an image, supply only the filename to the |image= parameter and the caption to the |caption= parameter instead. The specific parameters for the image and caption may be different for the infobox you are using; please consult the Template page for the infobox being used on that page for proper instructions and documentation. Thanks! - Sumanuil. _{(talk to me)} 00:39, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the note and for fixing it. Rainsage (talk) 04:56, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
