Landlocked
I noticed your discussion about adding "landlocked" to various US state articles, and wanted to ask: are you intending to add landlocked/coastal to every state article? If so, I would strongly suggest opening a discussion somewhere like Wikipedia talk:WikiProject United States (or Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Geography) and gauge other editors opinions before making changes to so many articles. Also a minor note, I think it's a bit misleading to say in your edit summaries that you had reached consensus with Pbritti about this change, as that is not what happened. They did not agree that this term should be included, but suggested you restore it so that other editors would give more opinions. Good luck on your campaign. -- Fyrael (talk) 19:40, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
Introduction to contentious topics

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.

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

The MLB nomination
Thanks for going ahead and putting up the nomination. After the recent NFL and NBA discussions it was just a matter of time until someone would test the MLB pages to see if a similar result occurred. Now we at least know, which is a benefit for Wikipedia. And, again, welcome, I hope you enjoy editing the project. Randy Kryn (talk) 23:53, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
Reverted article merger
I have reverted your merger of the articles
]- Well, I won’t undo your revert, but I’d like to understand why the merge fell solely upon the proposal. Per WP:WTRMT,]
You may remove a template when according to your best judgment the lack of edits and/or talk page discussion should be interpreted as the issue not worth fixing (as a form of "silent consensus").
The merge lasted a solid amount of time prior to the revert, and could have been beneficial to readers. Hope we can agree on something. DS537(WIR) 12:23, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
