Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to gender-related disputes or controversies or people associated with them, 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.

Translation

Hi William, I'm reaching out because I saw your name listed at Wikipedia:Translators available#Korean-to-English and was hoping you could help with a Korean translation. There's an article from The Chosun Ilbo that I'm getting some unclear machine translations on, especially when it comes to context.

This relates to our article at Michael Kim (businessman) - the subject of the article is on the talk page claiming that the whole section on tax penalty is inaccurate so I'm trying to flesh out the section to show a neutral POV.

From the article: https://weekly.chosun.com/news/articleView.html?idxno=21828
MBK파트너스 측은 “세무조사와 관련해서 어떻게 얘기를 들었는지 알 수 없으나, 그런 주장은 일부 노조 측에서 흘리고 다니는 것으로 들었다”며 “이런 부분들에 대해서 이야기할 필요도 없을 것 같고, 추징을 당한 적도 없다”고 취재를 거부했다.)

From my translations, I see the last sentence being either "we’ve never been subject to additional taxes" or "we've never been subject to punishment" but I want to make sure things are crystal clear due to the contention.

From your translation, do you interpret MBK Partners statement as being a refute of the article's overall assertion that they had ever been fined 40 billion won by National Tax Service? Or are they referring to "additional taxes" in a different manner?

Thanks! RachelTensions (talk) 02:00, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
