Introduction to contentious topics
You have recently edited a page related to the Balkans or Eastern Europe, 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.

Casting aspersions
Just a brief note to say that your recent suggestion at ANI that the Kassis/Astana re-direct was clearly a sort of political motivated censorship
was an entirely unsubstantiated WP:ASPERSION. Please comment on the policy-based rationale for edits rather than making assumptions (and serious allegations) about another editor's motivations. Axad12 (talk) 18:33, 25 January 2025 (UTC)
Astana Platform
The article wasn't atually deleted, but redirected, so it is still available in its history here. It seems that the sockpuppets rather overplayed Randa Kassis's role. Phil Bridger (talk) 16:12, 26 January 2025 (UTC)

Hallo Martin, imo ist die Reihenfolge des arab. Namens in deinem neuen Artikel verdreht, d. h. an erster Stelle steht entgegen der üblichen Reihenfolge bei arab. Namen der Vorname. Schönen Gruß, Qaswa (talk) 13:39, 20 April 2025 (UTC)
- P. S.: Wobei der Eintrag des Namens in der geschweiften Klammer völlig korrekt ist, lediglich die Darstellung in der veröffentlichen Version dreht die Reihenfolge um. Warum das passiert, weiß ich nicht. Qaswa (talk) 13:49, 20 April 2025 (UTC)
