Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, 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.

April 2025

Welcome to Wikipedia. Editors are expected to treat each other with respect and civility. On this encyclopedia project, editors assume good faith while interacting with other editors, which you did not appear to do at Talk:2025 Pahalgam attack. Here is Wikipedia's welcome page, and it is hoped that you will assume the good faith of other editors and continue to help us improve Wikipedia! Thank you very much!

I have reverted your edit. You are welcome to propose specific changes to the article and cite supporting sources, as long as you do so without casting aspersions on your fellow volunteers. Abecedare (talk) 04:34, 26 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Getting paid for freelance work

For any sort of freelance work (not just Wikipedia article creation), good advice is submit a proposed contract to the client that specifies 50% payment at time of signing contract and remaining 50% at a significant milestone. For Wikipedia that could be completing a draft that the client is satisfied with but before submitting the draft to Articles for Creation (AfC) for review. Given you cannot guarantee that a draft will be accepted, linking the final payment to it being accepted is a bad idea. Likewise, the contract should not guarantee that a draft will be accepted. Or, that if initially accepted, it will not be nominated for deletion. David notMD (talk) 12:05, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

When I log out, I can see visual edit option, but after logging I cannot see visual edit option SilverfangDragon (talk) 11:16, 14 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It seems like you have turned off VE in your Preferences under 'editing' tab, see option for "enable the visual editor". — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 15:38, 14 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
