Hello. In a recent edit to the page The Glass Harmonica (film), you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.

For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, India, or Pakistan, use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the first author of the article used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. CodeTalker (talk) 19:39, 14 October 2025 (UTC)

You have recently edited a page related to post-1978 Iranian politics, 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 an expanded level of powers and discretion 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 practices;
• 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. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

Anti-Islam sentiment in Iran has been a significant driving factors in the protests since 2023, and several polls exist showing Iranians having negative attitudes towards Islam. Firekong1 (talk) 21:41, 6 January 2026 (UTC)

To add context, I am Iranian and am familiar with the evolving politics, religious demographics, and sentiments of Iranians and the diaspora. Firekong1 (talk) 21:46, 6 January 2026 (UTC)

Ok I only saw the Islamophobia link added to the goals section. Anti-Islam sentiment is for sure a driving factor for these protests ConflictFan (talk) 21:47, 6 January 2026 (UTC)

May I add it back? There is a genuine historical element to justify the addition of this page. Firekong1 (talk) 22:02, 6 January 2026 (UTC)

I already did — thank you for pointing this all out ConflictFan (talk) 22:05, 6 January 2026 (UTC)

You’re welcome, and thank you for adding it back. Firekong1 (talk) 22:22, 6 January 2026 (UTC)

I do believe Islamophobia exists in Iran, but it has yet to become a widespread phenomenon. Firekong1 (talk) 01:58, 7 January 2026 (UTC)

Hello, ConflictFan. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Our Locomotive (song), a page you created, has not been edited in at least five months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 01:09, 8 January 2026 (UTC)

Hello, ConflictFan. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "Our Locomotive".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 00:55, 8 February 2026 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Ali Khamenei, you may be blocked from editing. Stop edit warring to include these sources. ALL of them cite Israel's government. Wait until independent or Iranian sources confirm his death.   Jalapeño   (u t g) 20:08, 28 February 2026 (UTC)

@Jalapeño thanks for reaching out. I think the best approach would be an explanatory footnote that explains the ongoing uncertainty and links to sources within it. I will ready it on the talk page. Best regards, ConflictFan (talk) 20:12, 28 February 2026 (UTC)

This is unnecessary, as an encyclopedia we wait for reliable sources to arrive before making claims, see WP:BREAKING Sahib-e-Qiran, EasternShah 20:20, 28 February 2026 (UTC)

Understood -- I have tried to make it clear that what current sources we have covering his death are unreliable. ConflictFan (talk) 20:21, 28 February 2026 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Editors are expected to treat each other with respect and civility. On this encyclopedia project, editors assume good faith while interacting with other editors, which you did not appear to do at Talk:Ali Khamenei. Here is Wikipedia's welcome page, and it is hoped that you will assume the good faith of other editors and continue to help us improve Wikipedia! Thank you very much! AusLondonder (talk) 22:08, 28 February 2026 (UTC)

@AusLondonder Thanks for reaching out. Can you point me out in the talk page where I was acting without respect and civility? Hoping to avoid doing so in the future if this is the case. Best regards, ConflictFan (talk) 22:22, 28 February 2026 (UTC)

"Is this enough or do you also need the Taliban and Putin to confirm this?" AusLondonder (talk) 22:26, 28 February 2026 (UTC)

Ok I see — don't think I was being uncivil but I was admittedly a bit provocative there. Will adjust my tone to avoid this. Thanks, ConflictFan (talk) 22:29, 28 February 2026 (UTC)

Hello, Conflict. The English variety tag in this article originally specified Oxford spelling, and then somebody saw fit to change it. Please don't change it again. I don't think it's allowed, anyway. Kelisi (talk) 22:40, 28 February 2026 (UTC)

@Kelisi 👍Ok I am just aligning it to what the 2025–2026 Iranian protests page uses. Best regards, ConflictFan (talk) 23:02, 28 February 2026 (UTC)

On the Iran War Page, Hezbollah and PMF aren't listed as Non-State Actors and yet their commanders aren't listed in the Commanders and Leaders section of the two sides. For consistency, they should be. ~2026-15360-58 (talk) 00:46, 11 March 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for reaching out. I have made an edit to the infobox putting them under the category of "Non-state actors". I haven't listed any of their commanders though because I don't know enough about them ConflictFan (talk) 01:09, 11 March 2026 (UTC)

Thank you for making the edit. The intention wasn't adding the commanders anyway, it was just communicating the discrepancy. Since the commanders of non-state actors are not listed anyway, the whole point was kind of to like move them away from that category and make that distinction clear. ~2026-15355-54 (talk) 02:20, 11 March 2026 (UTC)
