Introduction to contentious topics
[edit]You have recently edited a page related to discussions about infoboxes and to edits adding, deleting, collapsing, or removing verifiable information from infoboxes, 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.

- On a separate note, your signature is currently confusing because it bears no relationship to your actual username. Could you please consider choosing a signature that is less mystifying? Thanks. --JBL (talk) 18:01, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
- Hi JBL, thank you for providing the introduction, which was very helpful. Although I have edited such topics, this is my first time stumbling across a contentious formatting question within Wikipedia so I appreciate the clarity.
- To educate myself, I have read WP:Contentious topics now as well as Civility in infobox discussions#Remedies and 2013 infobox discussion Talk:Frank Matcham/Archive 1. I now have a clearer understanding of the process, though I'll continue to learn more with time.
- Additionally, thank you for your suggestion regarding my signature and its encroachment of WP convenience and etiquette. Indeed it was something I set ages ago, in a failed high-school-aged attempt to change my username. I have reinstated my signature to the default and have read WP:Use a custom signature and WP:Changing username.
- Thanks for taking the time to provide the above resource as well as your request. I look forward to becoming a more effective and collaborative WP editor with time. ~~~~ Evedawn99 (talk) 19:44, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

DYK for I'll See You in C-U-B-A
[edit]On 6 September 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article I'll See You in C-U-B-A, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the 1920 foxtrot song "I'll See You in C-U-B-A" was an example of Cuba being perceived as "America's playground"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/I'll See You in C-U-B-A. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, I'll See You in C-U-B-A), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
