Your recent edits

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 22:56, 16 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Louisiana Lottery Corporation

Hi, and thanks for your help in the copyediting drive. I've only had time to take a quick look at this article; a few points:

When you begin copyediting an article, please remove the {{copy edit}} tag at the top; I've done that.
The article is tagged as having no lead section, as recommended by WP:LEAD. What I do when there's no lead is skim the article and come up with a quick three sentences summarizing the topic; something is better than nothing :-).

Thanks for requesting feedback. Have fun and all the best, Miniapolis 00:37, 17 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

WP:GOCE/REQ

I saw that you had copyedited Awail Al Maqalat, a requests-page article, in six minutes; even for such a short article, that's kind of fast. I've been copyediting WP articles for five years, and my cruising speed is about 2,000 words a day :-). Since you're getting the hang of copyediting here, I suggest sticking to backlog articles for a little while; please see the first of the "Instructions for copy editors" at the top of the requests page, and it's a good idea to bookmark those three links (the how-to and the links to both versions of the Manual of Style) as a handy reference. Thanks for your help and all the best, Miniapolis 19:44, 18 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical 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 here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.
