Closure for RfC in Talk:Uğur Şahin

Just wanted to let you know I requested closure for the RfC. [1] Bogazicili (talk) 13:56, 5 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Bogazicili, sorry for not responding - I genuinely didn't intend to ghost you, I just had some personal stuff going on and haven't been on Wikipedia for a few months. I'm sorry the precise wording I chose for the RfC wasn't what you would have used. But I think it wouldn't have made much difference. This is a question that's difficult to cleanly answer by appealing to policy or sources. It simply divides Wikipedia editors and will probably continue to do so for a long time.

I'm open to trying again to work out a compromise for the first sentence, though, if you'd like. Tserton (talk) 16:18, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

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 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.
