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. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 09:53, 27 January 2024 (UTC)

Quick question about Yonkers, New York
Do you think I should remove the [relevant] tag from the sentence regarding how Yonkers is considered a City of Seven Hills. I did change the source but I’m not sure if I should remove the [relevant] tag or the sentence itself. The Cadillac Ranger (talk) 02:56, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
- @The Cadillac Ranger, good question! I think the [relevant] tag is no longer needed but a supplementary source may be needed (the source establishes use of the term, but not its origin). The City of Seven Hills moniker should be mentioned outside of the lead as well (perhaps in the geography section?; MOS:LEADNOTUNIQUE) Wracking talk! 03:42, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

NHL 4 Nations Face-off
Hi there, I was wondering when this draft would go to release. Obviously not right now, but I figure either once formal venues are chosen or when rosters are complete. Conyo14 (talk) 05:52, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
- Conyo14: It should be fine to publish whenever per WP:FUTURE. (I wouldn't be upset if people want to hold off until it's more firm, but I think it's a helpful summary of what's been verified so far.)
- If we go the "publish whenever" route — I think it's fairly close to being ready for mainspace (after addressing the bolded notes I've left, or anything else I/others think of). I haven't exactly been rushing to finish, so no idea on timeline (feel free to jump in if you'd like). Wracking talk! 06:04, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
