The obvious left wing editing of Republicans is offensive to anybody who cares about accuracy and fairness. Only negative comments by individual reviewers are included in the reference to Vance's book, Hillbilly Elegy. On the Amazon page for his book, David Brooks is quoted as calling it "Essential reading" -- and that's what I added, before it was removed. This is why I would never give a penny to Wikipedia -- it's a left wing, totalitarian run platform. 2603:7000:3500:1500:923:78C6:6B07:BD83 (talk) 05:33, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As per WP:RSPAMAZON, Amazon pages aren't considered reliable. LucasR muteacc (talk) 05:58, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction to contentious topics

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 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.

Thanks for the suggestion - I'm inclined to hold off from using live blogs for now, though. I'll pay attention to see if someone else uses it though! LucasR muteacc (talk) 00:01, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
