Introduction to contentious topics

edit

You have recently edited a page related to Eastern Europe or the Balkans, 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.

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.

  Hi, you made a major edit to Moving the goalposts but didn't put an edit summary. Some of the changes seemed unproductive, like removing the {{wikt}} template and moving a section anchor (see Template:Anchor#Rationale for substitution in the header: this placement hides the section title), so I reverted the edit, which is unfortunate since some of the changes were good, like adding citation templates. I might go back and redo some of the changes myself.

In the future, please:

  1. Break up large edits into multiple smaller edits so that they can be reviewed more easily. For example, you might do a section at a time or fix one type of problem at a time. See Wikipedia:Good editing practices § The normal editing process
  2. Always write an edit summary, even for relatively minor edits, but summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. Even a short one is better than none at all. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your editing preferences.
    By the way, you can use this tool to see how often you use edit summaries or not.

Thanks!

@W.andrea sorry! I wasn't aware that Wiktionary templates were used in this way, as I have never seen them before in mid article. I have redid my edits keeping that and included an edit summary, I'll try to include those more in the future. it was a surprise to me that already two-thirds of my edits do have edit summaries, ahah!

Thanks, though your redo was still roughly the same size, which again, makes it hard to review. For example, you removed the reference "Cheating Swedish Goalkeeper Moving Goalposts" without explanation. However, I'm not about to contest it since it could plausibly be a copyright infringing link. For reference see WP:REMOVAL. — W.andrea (talk) 01:34, 27 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
