I assume that they existed, so some history would be useful. Xx236 (talk) 10:44, 29 March 2023 (UTC)
Introduction to contentious topics
[edit]
You have recently edited a page related to gender-related disputes or controversies or people associated with them, 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 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.

Request reason:
No apparent reason why there's a block. Possibly an error based on my service provider's IP address. Explanation needed
Decline reason:
Procedural decline only. You forgot to tell us your IP address so we can't investigate your claim. You can find this using Wikipedia:Get my IP address. If you don't wish to provide this publicly, you may use WP:UTRS to provide the IP address privately. Yamla (talk) 12:57, 7 March 2025 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
Kscally (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
Notes:
- In some cases, you may not in fact be blocked, or your block has already expired. Please check the list of active blocks. If no block is listed, then you have been autoblocked by the automated anti-vandalism systems. Please remove this request and follow these instructions instead for quick attention by an administrator.
- Please read our guide to appealing blocks to make sure that your unblock request will help your case. You may change your request at any time.
If you ask the blocking administrator to comment on this request, replace this template with the following, replacing "blocking administrator" with the name of the blocking admin:
{{Unblock on hold |1=blocking administrator |2=My IP Address as requested I think is: 92.39.186.145. Beyond that I have no idea what's going on. All very arcane [[User:Kscally|kscally]] 21:54, 12 March 2025 (UTC) |3 = ~~~~}}
If you decline the unblock request, replace this template with the following code, substituting {{subst:Decline reason here}} with a specific rationale. Leaving the decline reason unchanged will result in display of a default reason, explaining why the request was declined.
{{unblock reviewed |1=My IP Address as requested I think is: 92.39.186.145. Beyond that I have no idea what's going on. All very arcane [[User:Kscally|kscally]] 21:54, 12 March 2025 (UTC) |decline = {{subst:Decline reason here}} ~~~~}}
If you accept the unblock request, replace this template with the following, substituting Accept reason here with your rationale:
{{unblock reviewed |1=My IP Address as requested I think is: 92.39.186.145. Beyond that I have no idea what's going on. All very arcane [[User:Kscally|kscally]] 21:54, 12 March 2025 (UTC) |accept = accept reason here ~~~~}}
- Hi Kscally, the IP you're editing on is blocked as a webhost. Is this your regular internet connection? -- asilvering (talk) 23:12, 12 March 2025 (UTC)
Yes that is my regular internet connection. It's a fixed address for my service provider Digital Forge, in Schull, Co. Cork.
- Well, sure doesn't look like a webhost to me, but I'll get a second opinion and get back to you. -- asilvering (talk) 05:01, 14 March 2025 (UTC)
