Article talk pages are for discussion improvements to articles, not to post whatever random thoughts pop into your head. Stop restoring the nonsense post to Talk:Ironmouse.-- Ponyobons mots 19:46, 6 February 2025 (UTC)

I suggest that you research the very pertinent issue that you raise in the Killing of Brian Thompson talk page, and if there is basis for adding anything on it, do so. I personally have not seen anything. The talk page is not intended for general discussion of the article subject, but purely improvement of the article. Coretheapple (talk) 16:51, 12 June 2025 (UTC)
Introduction to contentious topics
edit
You have recently edited a page related to post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people, 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.
