Help
editDude, in the article about Bangladesh, some dude added awards and honors section. Can I or you delete it? Because, Im pretty sure such sections are considered WP:puffery Codonified (talk) 19:03, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
- I personally don't think it is complete puffery but it doesn't belong in its own section with over 150 words. I reverted the edit with a reasonable explanation in the edit summary. Thank you for pointing it out!

Introduction to contentious topics
editYou 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 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.
WP:BLPPRIMARY and Uthman Ibn Farooq Yusufzai
editI am writing regarding your recent two edits to Uthman Ibn Farooq Yusufzai. The edit restired contentious content regarding a living person (i.e. allegations of domestic abuse) that was sourced solely to a court filing.
WP:BLPPRIMARY calls upon users to not use trial transcripts and other court records, or other public documents, to support assertions about a living person
. There are some narrow exceptions (when primary-source material has been discussed by a reliable secondary source, it may be acceptable to rely on it to augment the secondary source
), but the edit you restored appears to solely rely upon primary sources. Domestic abuse allegations, generally, are of an extremely serious and grave nature and require substantial independent secondary sourcing whenever including them in an article—if we choose to do so at all.
Please be careful when evaluating this sort of material going forward.

- Hi Hawk, thank you for explaining the concerns about my recent edits. I understand now that including allegations based solely on court filings, violates WP:BLPPRIMARY, especially for serious claims like domestic abuse. I appreciate you pointing this out, and I’ll ensure that going forward my future contributions fully comply with WP policies.

Some baklava for you!
editThank you for helping me out by the way,I published a page called Liberation of Jerusalem (1967) is there a way I can get help if yes,Thank you.And as I said thanks for helping me out buddy!🤝 Noam Elyada (talk) 11:56, 30 December 2024 (UTC) |
- Hi Noam, now you're making me hungry with that baklava! Regarding the article, I would always recommend making a draft article, where you and other editors can collaborate on it together, and submitting it for AfC. I'm not too familiar with the topic, so my lack of expertise in this area would not be of much help to you. Please let me know if there is anything else I may be of help with!

Renaming required
editHi nyxion, There is a article called Types of fish in Uganda, the thing is every article that lists fishes of any country is named as "List of fishes of... " For example:
List of fishes of Great Britain
Etcetra, therefore shouldn’t the article Types of fish in Uganda be renamed to "List of fishes of Uganda"? Codonified (talk) 04:47, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
- To be fair, the “List of fishes of...” articles do seem to simply list the different type of fishes (in an organised list) with little other information, whereas the Types of fish in Uganda article goes more in depth into the different, well, types of fishes. I think this is possibly something you can mention on the article's talkpage and see if others may agree on moving it to a new name with a redirect or possibly creating a redirect from List of fishes of Uganda to Types of fish in Uganda for the time being. I wouldn't simply change the name though, as good arguments can be made as to why it shouldn't simply be called the same as the others but perhaps the second option (of creating a redirect) may be a good compromise.

- After thinking about it for a while, you know, given that no article named "List of fishes of Uganda" exists. I think it would be a good idea to atleast make a redirect for that as you said it would be a reasonably good compromise for the time being. Codonified (talk) 13:05, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Conflict of interest?
editHello, Nyxion303. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for article subjects for more information. We ask that you:
- avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
- propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template), including links or details of reliable sources that support your suggestions;
- disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
- avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
- do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.
In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.
Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicizing, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. --Hipal (talk) 18:35, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
- Hi Hipal, thank you for writing. Would you please be able to specify exactly which contributions that I have made on WP that you believe may be a COI?
- ~~~~ Nyxion303💬 Talk 18:40, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
- Hi Nyxion. I notified you after running across Zabeel Palace (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). I spend a large amount of time working with editors who have a COI. Generally, I look for promotional editing and WP:SPA behavior. --Hipal (talk) 19:56, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
