Note

Please read WP:BLP. If you're adding contentious information about living persons, you need to be careful it is well sourced and does not contain any WP:OR. Tristario (talk) 00:04, 25 September 2023 (UTC)

It didn't seem contentious to me, the current wording was just a bit convoluted...to challenge the existence of something is to deny it. LeVivsky (ಠ_ಠ) 03:25, 25 September 2023 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles, a topic designated as contentious. This standard message is designed as an 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, Misplaced Pages’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Misplaced Pages 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 Misplaced Pages;
• 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.

Orphaned non-free image File:Cskvvssamarahc.png

Thanks for uploading File:Cskvvssamarahc.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 03:14, 24 January 2024 (UTC)

November 2024

Your recent editing history at History of Russia shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Comment

Hi Lvivske, I've had an additional comb over of WP:BLPSELFPUB and surrounding sections. It seems that the claim about his grandmother and his father is a claim about a third party, and thus cannot be included. In addition, Youtube is not acceptable source at all – WP:RSPYT.

I'm not entirely convinced why we even need any reference to these tidbits. This article is about Lex, not the specifics of where his father was born. If you want to look through the talk page archives, users generally seem to agree it was best to only cite secondary sources because Lex fans were going overboard with reference directly to podcast episodes. A blanket decision to exclude them seems appropriate to prevent this happening again. Zenomonoz (talk) 21:40, 7 December 2024 (UTC)

If there was a decision to omit his podcast transcripts as sources then thats fine, do you know where it was? LeVivsky (ಠ_ಠ) 00:54, 8 December 2024 (UTC)
