Quite correct; that was my mistake. Robert (talk) 01:51, 31 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hallo, If you create an article like The Last Command (short story), don't forget that you need to make it possible for a reader to find it. In this case it needed an entry on the disambiguation page at The Last Command (which I've now added); sometimes it needs a "hatnote" on an article, if there isnt a disambiguation page; sometimes it's a matter of creating the disambiguation page.

“ despite precedent that Congress constraining the actions of future Congresses by legislation is unconstitutional” is placed so it seems to e in the source, is it? Doug Weller talk 19:15, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That edit was also marked as minor ("Checking the minor edit box signifies that the current and previous versions differ only superficially (typographical corrections, etc.), in a way that no editor would be expected to regard as disputable.") Doesn't seem minor. Novellasyes (talk) 20:42, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That was a mistake. Most of my edits are typographical so checking that box is almost muscle memory. Robert (talk) 23:37, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. Robert (talk) 00:33, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You have recently edited a page related to post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people, 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 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

Ctopics/aware

}} template.
