Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to the Balkans or Eastern Europe, 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.

Your edit to Principality of Kiev

Just so you're aware, I've reverted your edit to Principality of Kiev. Though Wikipedia generally does use the transliteration Kyiv, it does not do so in the context of Kievan Rus'; there is a notice on the article talk page explaining why. AntiDionysius (talk) 18:20, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This includes this edit. Mellk (talk) 14:47, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ilikewletter: The consensus is not to change Kiev to Kyiv in historical contexts. If you continue making such changes, you will almost certainly be blocked. Mellk (talk) 16:22, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
