Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently been editing Eastern Europe or the Balkans, which has been designated a contentious topic. This standard message is designed as an 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.

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date. You have shown interest in Russo-Ukrainian war. Due to past disruption in this topic area, the community has authorised uninvolved administrators to impose contentious topics restrictions—such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks—on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, expected standards of behaviour, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic. For additional information, please see the guidance on these sanctions. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

@Diannaa: Hi. It would appear that there's been a mistake in this case since I distinctly remember not using Kadasne's textbook as a source. When it comes to anatomy, there's often not many different ways to go about describing a particular structure, and I've noticed that sometimes different sources will repeat the same description almost (if not even exactly) word-for-word. I'm guessing what happened here was that while I summarised what the sources I consulted said about this topic, I unknowingly reformulated it to read exactly or almost exactly like a sentence from Kadasne which tripped some sort of copyright tripwire. Is there any way to appeal this decision? Can I gain any insight into what exactly the violation looked like? I'm kinda afraid this could happen again since I intend to continue editing anatomy articles ...

Thanks. Kind regards,

-J Jay Hodec (talk) 01:22, 30 June 2023 (UTC)

I have temporarily undone the revision deletion so that you can assess. Note there was already some overlap before your addition. Here is a link to the copyright detector report (Earwig's tool). I am sure some paraphrasing is possible. For example could "within the substance of the parotid gland" be changed to "inside the parotid gland"? Please have a look and see what can be improved from a copyright point of view. Thanks, — Diannaa (talk) 01:33, 30 June 2023 (UTC)

Diannaa Many thanks! Yes, I will rephrase the "offending" passages as much as humanly possible.

Looking at the report, I'm even more afraid this will happen again and rather surprised it doesn't happen more often. The "within the substance of X" is a great example. This is just a standard boiler-plate phrasing in this discipline that'll be used in every other scholarly source. Apparently, when you unknowingly string together too many of these standard phrasings in just the right way, you end up triggering the copyright boobytrap.

Thanks again,

Hello, Jay Hodec. Thank you for your work on Thyrohyoid branch of ansa cervicalis. User:Nolabob, while examining this page as a part of our page curation process, I had the following comments:

Useful article that could use some expansion to make it even better.

Nolabob (talk) 14:06, 1 July 2023 (UTC)

@Nolabob: Hi. I think the article is more or less complete as is. This is a relatively simple structure, however, it is quite difficult to grasp when described tangentially in other articles, so I thought it definitively merited it's own little article. The only major thing that's still missing is an explicit mention of the fact that it in fact NOT part of the ansa cervicalis (nerve loop) (despite its (misleading) name) - I just need to track down an explicit mention of this fact in a source.

Did you have any particular details that you wanted to see included in the article in mind? I can also review some other scholarly sources for additional information and see if I come up with anything.

Kind regards,

-J Jay Hodec (talk) 14:26, 1 July 2023 (UTC)

Well, I'm not a neuroscientist myself, so you have to take my suggestion with a certain grain of salt. But I'm thinking: What would a general audience want to know about this nerve branch? In that regard, a statement or two about what type of motor control it has as well as sensory function. That type of information might make the information in the article seem more relevant for a general reader. But, again, I don't feel in anyway adamant about that suggestion. Nolabob (talk) 14:40, 1 July 2023 (UTC)

@Nolabob: To answer your specific suggestion - the branch is a purely motor nerve for the thyrohyoid muscle (I just realised that it's actually not made clear in sources it also supplies the geniohyoid muscle), it does not convey sensory information.

This is one of those "fun" little opaque structures that are really difficult to describe concisely and seem to be there just to trip up students and junior doctors. In fact, the number of sources I had to cite to cobble up a somewhat coherent narrative speaks for itself - you may have a difficult time wrapping your head around structures like this if you only consult one or two sources. Actually, I see that I'll have to examine a couple other sources and re-read the existing ones just to make sure I didn't inadvertently write something misleading.

Anyway, let's be honest - this page won't have any "general readers" :)

Your contributed article, Middle superior alveolar artery

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Middle superior alveolar artery. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Maxillary artery. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Maxillary artery. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Alexandermcnabb (talk) 10:44, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

The ligament becomes taught ...

Really? Ligament of head of femur Perhaps not so relaxed on spelling? Shenme (talk) 18:35, 27 July 2024 (UTC)

@Shenme: Yes, clearly what was meant was "taut", not "taught". Sorry for the mental lapse. Here's the passage from the source (where I apparently also messed up the page range in the citation):

   It is stretched when the flexed thigh is adducted or laterally rotated.
