Leads
[edit]Leads are summaries of the content of the article, so will inherently duplicate information. Please see MOS:LEAD. Cerebral726 (talk) 17:39, 30 October 2024 (UTC)
- Hi! I understand that the lead should be a summary which is different than extensive details that already exist further into the article. "summarizing the most important points". On the pages you reverted my edits those intros did way more than summarize. I think the content could be rewritten as a summary instead. Possibly? Also, I think John Green is fascinating and really appreciate his openness about mental health. I'd like of find a way to include that in his article at some point. Thanks!!

Disambiguation link notification for May 5
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Edward A. Eckenhoff, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page National Rehabilitation Hospital. 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.)

[edit]Please be more careful when attempting to clean up articles. You removed essential context here and the edit summary suggests otherwise. It's best to work in smaller edits and be more specific with the edit summaries. --Hipal (talk) 20:25, 14 July 2025 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics
[edit]
You have recently edited a page related to living or recently deceased subjects of biographical content on Wikipedia 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. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template. Hipal (talk) 18:43, 2 June 2026 (UTC)
