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 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 here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

This is the contentious topics notice I was talking about. There's one on the talk page now too. Basically, it means that everyone should be on their best behaviour. You're mostly doing fine so far - but please don't directly refer to other editors as sockpuppets, like you did here: . You don't have any proof that editor is a sockpuppet, so you're expected to assume and act in good faith. -- asilvering (talk) 19:09, 25 March 2025 (UTC)

Thank you. @Asilvering thank you so much for your help. The 'Tommy Cash (rapper)' page is now protected until the Eurovision is over, so pro-Russian activists cannot vandalize it every hour. I was just told that those proxy servers allow users to create a new IP address every second if requested. The only way I can see that this IP is a sockpuppet is by looking at the plain text they put there. They usually use the very pro-Russian version of the old page code, so all other recent thoughtful contributions will get lost. Who accidentally does that? Assuming good faith—oh yeah. (Ironically).

I need to meditate.

I definitely need to learn the rules, and I will. I promise. Otherwise, there will be no Wikipedia, pro-Russian paranoia power will be bigger than mine then. Lol.

Anyway, the page is now protected. I’m hoping for the best.

Go, Tommy! My thumbs are all up, waiting for Eurovision! Muruhaldjas (talk) 21:05, 25 March 2025 (UTC)
