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 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.

Blocked

block

@ NinjaRobotPirate recently blocked me as a "sockpuppet". On what grounds was this conclusion made? Where can I see the investigation and its content? Udehbwuh ( talk) 14:32, 6 January 2024 (UTC) reply

"On what grounds was this conclusion made?" On the grounds that you're  Confirmed. Any other CheckUser can verify this. "Where can I see the investigation and its content?" You can't. NinjaRobotPirate ( talk) 14:39, 6 January 2024 (UTC) reply
Ok. I'd like to talk to you about something. Could you, please, give me your email? It won't take too much time Udehbwuh ( talk) 16:58, 6 January 2024 (UTC) reply
If you feel the block is unjustified....in the section above, guidance is given to appeal. Rja13ww33 ( talk) 19:49, 6 January 2024 (UTC) reply
I don't think the talk page is an appropriate place for such discussions. I'd like to talk to the administrator personally. Udehbwuh ( talk) 19:58, 6 January 2024 (UTC) reply
I just need to clarify some things before appealing the block Udehbwuh ( talk) 20:04, 6 January 2024 (UTC) reply

Request reason:

Good time to everyone. I've been blocked indefinitely three times. The first time was for disruptive behavior and edit warring. The second and third times for sockpuppetry. And I acknowledge the reasons, for which I was blocked. All these three accounts are mine, and I indeed abusively used them. When created an account for the first time, I didn't know Wikipedia's guidelines and rules, behaving disruptively and thinking, that I won't face any consequences. for the second time I created a puppet account, thinking, that I won't be caught and, again, not knowing rules. I understand, that it's not an excuse for such behavior. But I will stop behaving disruptively or in any way, that may violate Wikipedia guidelines and rules.

Decline reason:

You can demonstrate you are willing to start abiding by Wikipedia's policies and guidelines by going at least six months with zero edits, then applying with your original account under the terms outlined in WP:SO. Yamla ( talk) 10:29, 9 January 2024 (UTC) reply


If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{ unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

I won't be able to apply from my original account, as my TPA has been revoked.

Thanks for letting us know, I'll revoke TPA on this account to match. WP:UTRS is available to you in six months. -- Yamla ( talk) 10:46, 9 January 2024 (UTC) reply
