Point to a single instance of vandalism that constitutes something other than disagreeing with you. Regardless, I am reporting you for misconduct on the admin noticeboard. Insanityclown1 (talk) 19:25, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You have recently edited a page related to post-1978 Iranian politics, 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.
Avoiding an edit war
Hi AlexBobCharles! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of Government of Iran several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.
Hello . Thanks for the information. Since i do not have the time for such prolonged disputes, i will just leave it and hope someone else fixes the issue AlexBobCharles (talk) 11:41, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Warning Users
Hi there,
I noticed you are active in reverting vandalism, however, it is necessary to warn users on their user page. You can use the TW menu (standing for Twinkle) and the Warn button. You may also want to use ARV for reporting to AIV and more. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page. Thanks!

Hello, I'm DuncanHill. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Kunai have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk. Your edit, which you marked as "useless section" in fact removed the main source used in the article, and also removed the link to the Commons category. Please be more careful in future.DuncanHill (talk) 18:56, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello. Since i saw that the source was already listed in the 'References' section i thought the 'Sources' section was redundant. But the article was weirdly formatted in that the ref was not listed in the main body like most articles and was listed in a separate section so this caused my edit to break the article. I have now made it like a normal article and moved the ref to the lead AlexBobCharles (talk) 19:06, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited 2024 Iranian presidential election, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page MEK. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Following an RfC, there is a new criterion for speedy deletion: C4, which applies to unused maintenance categories, such as empty dated maintenance categories for dates in the past.
The arbitration case Historical Elections is currently open. Proposed decision is expected by 3 September 2024 for this case.
Miscellaneous
Editors can now enter into good article review circles, an alternative for informal quid pro quo arrangements, to have a GAN reviewed in return for reviewing a different editor's nomination.
Following a discussion, the speedy deletion reason "File pages without a corresponding file" has been moved from criterion G8 to F2. This does not change what can be speedily deleted.
Mass deletions done with the Nuke tool now have the 'Nuke' tag. This change will make reviewing and analyzing deletions performed with the tool easier. T366068
Hello! Voting in the 2024 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 2 December 2024. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
Following an RFC, the policy on restoration of adminship has been updated. All former administrators may now only regain the tools following a request at the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard within 5 years of their most recent admin action. Previously this applied only to administrators deysopped for inactivity.
Following a request for comment, a new speedy deletion criterion, T5, has been enacted. This applies to template subpages that are no longer used.
A request for comment is open to discuss whether admins should be advised to warn users rather than issue no-warning blocks to those who have posted promotional content outside of article space.
Technical news
The Nuke feature also now provides links to the userpage of the user whose pages were deleted, and to the pages which were not selected for deletion, after page deletions are queued. This enables easier follow-up admin-actions.
