User talk:Gynosiscrat: Difference between revisions

Welcome!

Hello Gynosiscrat, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

At Wikipedia, new Users do not automatically receive a welcome; not even a machine-generated welcome. Welcome messages come from other Users. They are personal and genuine. They contain an offer of assistance if such assistance is ever desired.

I suggest to everyone I welcome that they may find some of the following helpful — there’s nothing personal in my suggestion and you may not need any of them:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome! Dolphin (t) 12:39, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I’m Waxworker. I just wanted to let you know that your recent edit(s) to the page Leith Stevens have been reverted because they appear to have added incorrect information. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite a reliable source, discuss it on the article’s talk page, or leave me a message on my talk page. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. cited source says “Carlile”, also unclear why quotation mark was removed in your edit on The Lego Movie 2 Videogame Waxworker (talk) 13:35, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You have recently edited a page related to the Horn of Africa (defined as including Ethiopia, Somalia, Eritrea, Djibouti, and adjoining areas if involved in related disputes), 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:

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.

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit(s) you made to Salaad Gabeyre Kediye, did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia.

Hello. Thanks for the notice. The information I added about Salaad Gabeyre’s alleged KGB involvement is based on published sources. If there is a concern about the reliability or the way it was presented, could you clarify which specific Wikipedia policies (such as WP:RS or WP:NPOV) it conflicts with? I’m happy to provide higher-quality sources or adjust the wording to ensure it meets Wikipedia’s content guidelines. Please let me know how best to proceed. Thank you.
