Introduction to contentious topics

edit

You have recently edited a page related to India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, 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.

Information icon Hi Jino john1996! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Malabar Muslims that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Thank you. - Sumanuil. (talk to me) 05:38, 28 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Mentioned source does not mention it so that's why I removed it Jino john1996 (talk) 14:10, 8 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

why did you revert my content? Multiple sources says that film grossed 65 to 70 crore. Jino john1996 (talk) 15:51, 28 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
You did not use reliable source and refer to WP:ICTFSOURCES list for what reliable sources you can use. bollymoviereviewz is not reliable. If you have any question about a source that is not listed, please ask question on ICTF talk page. RangersRus (talk) 03:36, 29 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
Okay i did not know that. I will try to find a source mentioned there Jino john1996 (talk) 16:35, 29 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
what about imdb? Jino john1996 (talk) 19:32, 3 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
IMDB is only good for external link if the subject of the entire page is exactly the same as the subject of the IMDb page that you're linking. Anything else is user-generated and not reliable. Refer to Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Perennial_sources#IMDb. RangersRus (talk) 23:28, 3 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

Information icon Please do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Homosexuality. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. If you think that loaded terms like "sodomy" or "transgenders" are acceptable then you should not be editing this article. Also, the dating you used for the Kama Sutra was incorrect. DanielRigal (talk) 14:59, 19 July 2025 (UTC)Reply

Sodomy okay. I can understand. But i thought transgender was how you refer those people technicaly like homosexuals. Then what word should be used to refer to transgenders? Suggest me some words that can be used for transgender? Jino john1996 (talk) 15:14, 19 July 2025 (UTC)Reply
Transgender is an adjective, not a noun. So you should say "transgender people", not "transgenders". Mark and inwardly digest (talk) 06:35, 23 July 2025 (UTC)Reply

Question

edit

Hi there, wondered if you could recommend any sources re: homosexuality in Greece and Rome? Have you encountered Thomas Hubbard's work? Any others I should know about? Zenomonoz (talk) 20:35, 30 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

I am not gonna lie. Hubbard's work has its biases. So does others as well. Its very difficult to find a source that doesnt make generalized statements and give a neutral perspective. I will recommend criag williams roman homosexuality and eva canteralla's bisexuality in the ancient world. Both are very biased but still good sources Jino john1996 (talk) 21:26, 30 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

I added that because that whole sentence is misleading. Yes such realtionships did occur significantly. But it was heavily criticised as well by authors like xenophon and plato. Check the main article, pederasty in ancient greece. I am gonna reword it with my own words. Jino john1996 (talk) 14:30, 7 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
