Add topicIntroduction to contentious topics
[edit]You have recently edited a page related to post-1978 Iranian politics, 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 an expanded level of powers and discretion 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 practices;
- 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. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit(s) you made to Reza Pahlavi, did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page.
If you want to restore the WP:NEWS issues I've outlined in the Reza Pahlavi page, you first need to explain why in the talk page. We'll then review it together and make changes, if necessary, as a concensus-building process. Thank you. Tasasiki (talk) 10:36, 9 July 2026 (UTC)
- @Tasasiki, regardless of WP:NEWS, you are not extended confirmed and as such, you are not permitted to remove some of the content you tried to remove. aesurias (ping me in your reply, or I won't see it) (talk) 11:59, 9 July 2026 (UTC)
