Minor edit marker
[edit]
Hi OpiumofMasses! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Foundation for a Drug-Free World that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.

- Humble Apologies. It surely was not a minor edit, had clicked that checkbox by mistake. Again, apologies. OpiumofMasses (talk) 12:14, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
- @OpiumofMasses: You did it three times today in article Study Technology as well as in The Way to Happiness. Please read and understand the policy. It is safer to just not use the minor-edit marker until you do understand when it should be used. Grorp (talk) 05:10, 14 May 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that in this edit to Study Technology, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Materialscientist (talk) 22:36, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
- Did it by mistake. I apologise. OpiumofMasses (talk) 22:54, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
Introduction to contentious topics
[edit]
You have recently edited a page related to India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, a topic designated as contentious. This standard message is designed as an 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.
