Hi Elemental Gallium! I noticed that you recently made an edit at Larry Summers and marked it as "minor", but it may not have been. On Wikipedia, "minor edit" refers only to superficial edits that could never be disputed, such as fixing typos or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not minor, even if it only concerns a single word. Thank you. 49ersBelongInSanFrancisco (talk) 06:11, 28 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

Hi Elemental Gallium. I'm not making this a formal warning but please don't be too gung-ho about removing content that you don't believe is relevant if it has been in the article for a while. It is best to discuss this on the article's Talk page. --DanielRigal (talk) 04:19, 29 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

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. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

Hello, I'm Adakiko. I noticed that in this edit to The Apportionment of Human Diversity, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Adakiko (talk) 02:38, 3 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did at The Apportionment of Human Diversity, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your sandbox for that. You removed three citations without giving a valid reason for removal. Please discuss on talk:The Apportionment of Human Diversity and get wp:consensus before restoring your edits. See wp:BRD. Thank you. Adakiko (talk) 06:47, 3 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

Hi Elemental Gallium! I noticed that you've made several edits in order to restore a version of The Apportionment of Human Diversity. The impulse to repeatedly undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure that you're aware of Wikipedia's edit warring policy. Repeatedly undoing the changes made by other users in a back-and-forth fashion like this is disallowed, even if you feel what you're doing is justifiable.

All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages in order to try to reach a consensus with the other editors involved. If you are unable to come to an agreement at Talk:The Apportionment of Human Diversity, please use one of the dispute resolution options that are available in order to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of repeatedly reverting other editors' changes can help you avoid getting drawn into edit wars. Thank you. --JBL (talk) 17:44, 3 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
