Introduction to contentious topics

edit

You have recently edited a page related to India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, 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.

Indo-Persian culture

Hi, Someguywhosbored. Please note that I undid your edits here as they were removing sourced material. None of your edits appeared related to any material inserted by blocked accounts at the article's history. jellyfish  04:09, 28 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hello Jellyfish! Thank you for your concern, but the edit was indeed from a sockpuppet account named mydust. Here’s the original edit https://en.m.luquay.com/w/index.php?title=Indo-Persian_culture&diff=prev&oldid=1138802046

Not only is it written by a sockpuppet, it contradicts the main article. So it shouldn't be left there. He’s made many more edits on the page which I should probably edit out soon. Someguywhosbored (talk) 04:25, 28 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
One more edit by him that I forgot to cite https://en.m.luquay.com/w/index.php?title=Indo-Persian_culture&diff=prev&oldid=1138801881
if there is no other disagreements here, I’m going to revert it back. Someguywhosbored (talk) 04:49, 28 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
Fine by me, as long as everything is sourced.   jellyfish  19:24, 30 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
