Please see the revision of your edit on Ajamu Baraka. You're absolutely right to have added focus on Boko Haram, but what you deleted in the process has been restored (the text refers 6 times to colonialism, and to criticism of Charlie Hebdo). I hope the compromise text is a helpful improvement. 77.154.204.101 (talk) 04:49, 21 September 2016 (UTC)

Hi Subcientifico! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at The Grayzone that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you. — Newslinger talk 06:29, 19 October 2023 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics

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 standard message is designed as an 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.

Please note that the article for The Grayzone is also covered under the following contentious topics: "the Balkans or Eastern Europe" (WP:CT/EE) and "Uyghurs, Uyghur genocide, or topics that are related to Uyghurs or Uyghur genocide" (WP:GS/UYGHUR). Thank you. — Newslinger talk 06:33, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
