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.

Thanks for your contributions to 2025 Argentine legislative election. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it has no sources. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Pickersgill-Cunliffe ( talk) 16:28, 29 April 2024 (UTC) reply

I just added the source?? VosleCap ( talk) 22:21, 12 June 2024 (UTC) reply
Where? This edit of yours was a revert (without any additions) to reinstate your view of the article, which does NOT include a source for the "Disputed with François-Xavier Bellamy since 12 June 2024" claim. Your revert also incorrectly reinstated YDM date formatting, which France does not use. Leave the corrections others have made to change it to DMY alone. Thank you. Zinnober9 ( talk) 22:31, 12 June 2024 (UTC) reply
The latest edit that I did had a source but you reverted it nevertheless. Also where did I use the YDM date format VosleCap ( talk) 22:36, 12 June 2024 (UTC) reply
In the edit I linked above shows the differences between the two edits. David O. Johnson's edit on the left, your edit reverting him on the right. Items that changed are highlighted. Zinnober9 ( talk) 00:08, 13 June 2024 (UTC) reply

Italian elections

Had you bothered to look at the edit histories, you'd have seen I wasn't the one that changed the infobox format (e.g. [ https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=1972_Italian_general_election&diff=1181174900&oldid=1177607105 here), and there was actually an RfC for the 2018 and 2022 ones. Can I recommend that you actually look at article histories and check talk pages before making a rash series of edits in future? Cheers, Number 5 7 20:19, 15 June 2024 (UTC) reply

Hello.
A complete change of format that would affect almost all electoral pages requires a widespread consensus and approval, and personally I haven't seen that anywhere, for the Italian pages as well. I have reverted these because the current ones are more informative, displaying critical information (such as when the leader was selected, the amount of seats won in the precedent election and so on). This consensus was not reached in all pages, and I think that within the duties of a wikipedian editor is to provide as much information as possible, and not to insert just the leader, lost/won seats and that's it. The election box requires more information and so it was reverted not only here, but in every other election as well VosleCap ( talk) 20:27, 15 June 2024 (UTC) reply
There was a settled RfC discussion on the 2022 Italian General Election page, to change the infobox, on the 2022 Italian General Election page. It has nothing to do with other pages changing to legislative boxes. It was a change specific to the 2022 Italian General Election page, that took over a year to settle, and was settled a year ago.

An agreement between 4 editors is not a "consensus", also the discussions did not involve the other previous elections (pre-1994) VosleCap ( talk) 09:12, 16 June 2024 (UTC) reply
