Introduction to contentious topics

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.

Please also note that according to WP:RUSUKR, new users such as you may not edit any topics related to Russia-Ukrainian conflict. If you continue, your account may be blocked from editing. Ymblanter (talk) 16:16, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

1. I am not a new user, as you can clearly see.

2. I did not edit any such topics recently, participating in discussions is allowed for everyone.

3. What is it with you going around and threatening smaller pro-Ukrainian accounts that call out russian propaganda? I don’t think such behaviour is allowed on this platform, so try to adhere from it. UApatriot69 (talk) 17:16, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

Please read WP:RUSUKR. If you feel I am doing smth which is not allowed feel free to report me. Ymblanter (talk) 17:43, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
