Domain name

[edit]

Despite my reversion of your edit, I can see your point: the issue was the way you tried to do it. It didn't help that you didn't seem to be aware that websites are just one of the many ways that domain names are used. So I have swapped the order of the sentences in the lead, so that (I think) it now better responds to your concern for readers unfamiliar with the concept. Unfortunately the topic is quite technical, so the body is inevitably dense. 𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 12:02, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Information icon Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that you recently added commentary to an article, What the Health. While Wikipedia welcomes editors' opinions on an article and how it could be changed, these comments are more appropriate for the article's accompanying talk page. If you post your comments there, other editors working on the same article will notice and respond to them, and your comments will not disrupt the flow of the article. However, keep in mind that even on the talk page of an article, you should limit your discussion to improving the article. Article talk pages are not the place to discuss opinions of the subject of articles, nor are such pages a forum. Thank you. always forever (talk) 08:29, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction to contentious topics

[edit]

You have recently edited a page related to the September 11 attacks, 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.

Welcome to Wikipedia from WikiProject Climate Change!

[edit]
Climate articles need a lot of work. Thanks for being here!

Thanks for helping edit Climate Change content on Wikipedia! WikiProject Climate Change is a group of editors who strive to improve the quality of climate change articles here on Wikipedia. I noticed that you are interested in editing articles related to climate change topics; we need more editors like you in the community.

Wikipedia is one the most requested, published, accessed, and consulted source of information on climate change and sustainability in every language. As an editing community, we think Wikipedia is one of the best ways for sharing knowledge about the climate crises, and also the best path to help decision makers and communicators at all levels of society, including journalists, policy makers, politicians, and decision makers.

If you want to do more, here are some suggestions:

  • Content is much more likely to stick if you have good citations. Check out our recommended sources collection to learn what kinds of sources we think are best.
  • If you are looking for ideas on what to edit, consider one of the Small to medium tasks suggestions.
  • Be bold and join the discussion! The Wikipedia community includes a wide variety of editors with different interests, skills, and knowledge. We all manage to get along through a lot of discussion that happens under the scenes and through the bold, revert, discuss editing cycle.
  • Please leave a message on the on the WikiProject Climate change talk page if you have concerns that involve multiple articles, would like review of an article, need suggestions for articles to edit, or would like some collaboration when editing. Or for general questions about how Wikipedia works, feel free to ask at the Wikipedia Teahouse.

Feel free to respond to this note if you have any questions. I wish you all the best!
