Introduction to contentious topics

You 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 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.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Where is Kate?. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Bon courage (talk) 15:58, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for notifying me. I have started a discussion on the talk page here to avoid any further issues TheSpacebook (talk) 16:16, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

Where is Kate?

Hello, TheSpacebook,

It was inappropriate to launch a second AFD for this article while the closure of the first AFD is being reviewed and doing so just caused chaos. Please do not do this in the future. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 23:31, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

On a similar note, your close of the requested move was less than ideal. Per WP:NACINV, closing editors should be uninvolved (e.g. they have not !voted). The proposer is free to WP:WITHDRAW the proposal, but closers must otherwise not have !voted. I'd recommend self-reverting. Sincerely, Dilettante 17:51, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi Liz, just to own up that this was my mistake as well; after seeing that TheSpacebook was struggling to use the right AfD template, I created the AfD. I thought the external events would render the DRV, which was seemingly nearing consenus, moot, justifying a fresh AfD. I appreciate your coolheadedness over yesterday's drama (I was already long in awe of your work as a faithful administrator!), and I just hope we can reach a lasting consensus soon :)) IgnatiusofLondon (he/him • ☎️) 21:33, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

Could you please be a bit less active on Talk:Where is Kate? I don't have problems with any specific thing you've said there, but the sheer quantity of comments from you is drowning out everyone else. See Wikipedia:Don't bludgeon the process for more details Mach61 19:39, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

Nomination of Where is Kate? for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Where is Kate?, to which you have significantly contributed, is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or if it should be deleted.

The discussion will take place at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Where is Kate? (3rd nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion.

Notice of noticeboard discussion

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. jp×g🗯️ 12:27, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

You continue to make repeated edits to your comments over on WP:AN. Please please stop. Use a tool such as a word processor to work on your comments and only post them when you are sure the comments are ready to be posted. It's perfectly fine to make the occasional change, but you are doing so over and over again, even after being warned about this. If your comment isn't ready to be posted, you shouldn't be posting it. --Yamla (talk) 15:06, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

You have refused to listen and are continuing to be disruptive. I have blocked you from only Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard for half an hour. That should give you time to figure out how you wish to proceed. Either figure out how to use the preview or figure out how to use some sort of word processor. Once this short block expires, I expect you not to refactor your comments on WP:AN any further, especially once people have responded to them. --Yamla (talk) 15:22, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

April 2024

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 week for inappropriate off-wiki canvassing. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  GeneralNotability (talk) 15:28, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
