Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to abortion, 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.

Jesus

Jesus is another contentious article so be careful. Article talk pages are suppose to be about improving the article and not for answering questions about the article topic so I"m answering here. For how Jewish Jesus was, you might want to read Amy-Jill Levine's book The Misunderstood Jew: The Church and the Scandal of the Jewish Jesus (2006); it is a scholarly understanding of Jesus as a Jew. Also the book she co-edited with Crossan and Allison, The Historical Jesus in Contest (2006). Erp (talk) 18:19, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
