I have sent you a note about a page you started
Hi Nightmares26. Thank you for your work on 1351 in France. Another editor, Klbrain, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:
It does seem to have been a sufficiently interesting year to warrant a page. I don't think that the link to date (particularly not the links to months) are consistent with the usual style for these articles, as you can by scanning the other years of the 14th century. However, the particular policy that's relevant escapes me ...

- @Klbrain: G'day I added the links to the dates because I was using the 16th century articles as a base in which the style used for many is that of having the date linked. Nightmares26 (talk) 15:57, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
- It looks like WP:DATELINK generally discourages such links, however does note that
in intrinsically chronological articles (1789, January, and 1940s), links to specific month-and-day, month-and year, or year articles are not discouraged.
So, as this is a chronological list, it would be churlish of me to object! Klbrain (talk) 16:24, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics
You have recently edited a page related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, 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.
Additionally, you must be logged-in, have 500 edits and an account age of 30 days, and are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on any page within this topic.
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.

I have sent you a note about a page you started
Hi Nightmares26. Thank you for your work on Kasanga massacre. Another editor, Klbrain, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:
Thanks for writing this clear article, as part of the series on the Kivu conflict. It is integrated into the series through the template. There is a lot of backgound/context, but this seems to be helpful for readers. There are sufficient sources for now, altohugh it will be interesting to see if there is sustained coverage. That seems likely given the number of people killed.

Henry III, Margrave of Baden-Hachberg moved to draftspace
Thanks for your contributions to Henry III, Margrave of Baden-Hachberg. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it has no sources and in-text citations are needed per WP:CITE which will also help to create formatted references per WP:REFSTART. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.
Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit the draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. FULBERT (talk) 16:40, 9 May 2025 (UTC)
I have moved the page back from draftspace, because it is not true that "it has no sources". Nevertheless, it really would be much better to have in-text citations, properly formatted. JBW (talk) 20:46, 9 May 2025 (UTC)
The World Destubathon
Hello. You're invited to participate in The World Destubathon. We're aiming to destub a lot of articles and also improve longer stale articles. It started today on Monday June 16 and will run until Sunday July 13. There is over $3300 going into it, with $500 the top prize. If you are interested in winning something to save you money in buying books for future content, or just see it as a good editathon opportunity to see a lot of articles improved for subjects which interest you, sign up on the page in the participants section if interested. Even if you can only manage a few articles they would be very much appreciated and help make the content produced as diverse and broad as possible!♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:44, 16 June 2025 (UTC)

Hi, just a courtesy message to notify you in case you haven't seen the Wikipedia:The World Destubathon contest update in the last few days that we've decided to run the full month until the 16th of July.
