I appreciate you want to improve this article and would like to share my suggestions.

When reliable sources report information as fact, it is reported as fact in Wikipedia articles. For example, if CNN says that that one million Uygurs are currently incarcerated, then the article says that.

When sources qualify information by providing attribution without asserting it is true, then in-text attribution is required. For example, if the source says that according to unnamed sources, one million Uygurs are currently incarcerated, then that is what the article says.

Note that opinion pieces and analysis in news media are rarely considered reliable sources for facts, although the opinions expressed can be reported as opinions. [[User:The Four Deuces|TFD]] ([[User talk:The Four Deuces|talk]]) 11:18, 22 July 2023 (UTC)

Tips
  • Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
  • It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
  • If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
  • Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
  • When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
  • If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
  • Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to Eastern Europe or the Balkans, a topic designated as contentious. This standard message is designed as an 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 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.

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in Uyghurs, Uyghur genocide, or topics that are related to Uyghurs or Uyghur genocide. Due to past disruption in this topic area, the community has authorised uninvolved administrators to impose contentious topics restrictions—such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks—on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, expected standards of behaviour, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on these sanctions. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Uyghur genocide

I appreciate you want to improve this article and would like to share my suggestions.

When reliable sources report information as fact, it is reported as fact in Wikipedia articles. For example, if CNN says that that one million Uygurs are currently incarcerated, then the article says that.

When sources qualify information by providing attribution without asserting it is true, then in-text attribution is required. For example, if the source says that according to unnamed sources, one million Uygurs are currently incarcerated, then that is what the article says.

Note that opinion pieces and analysis in news media are rarely considered reliable sources for facts, although the opinions expressed can be reported as opinions. TFD (talk) 11:18, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
