July 2024: Concerning bias and partisan editing on Wikipedia by editors at Donald Trump 2024 presidential campaign
[edit] Please do not attack other editors, as you did at Talk:Donald Trump 2024 presidential campaign. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. EvergreenFir (talk) 18:13, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- How can you expect me to calm down when all they do is out-right shut down reasonable opinions just because of their partisan bias towards a specific candidate and his campaign? It is blatantly obvious that it is heavily edited by editors with a partisan political agenda and it should not continue. If Wikipedia is the shining example of how neutral and unbiased information is represented, why are we allowing these types of people to further edit this page with total disregard for non-partisan content?

- Please read WP:CIV as your accusations are way out of line. As for the statement in your deleted post : "
There is no mention of the assassination attempt on Trump, which happened due to prejudiced and polarised attitudes towards the former president from uninformed and misleading statements by people who were not aware of the consequences
", there are two problems with this. First, it is already in the article in three locations, in multiple additional articles, and even has its own article devoted to the subject. Secondly, no one knows the shooter's motivations at this point and we do not include speculation. There is a third point I won't mention. O3000, Ret. (talk) 13:11, 23 July 2024 (UTC)- For goodness sake, cut the bare-faced dodging and face the reality of your wrongdoing. Merely âmentioningâ it doesnât convey the significance of that event. It should be written plain simple in a new section. I donât what to edit that page due to the fact that some editors might be more than offended by common sense. The article, which is literally about Donald Trumpâs 2024 presidential campaign, shouldnât be written in a way that is plainly against him and which is mainly edited by people who might have clear sympathies towards the Democratic Party narrative. This is not about whether Trumpâs election campaign is being treated unfair or anything (although it is) and even if you donât like him, you shouldnât edit a encyclopaedia article in your own perspective. Editing a page about a person who is already being made a controversial figure, this issue should be addressed with a strong focus on neutrality and non-partisan sources. This does not remotely reflect on any of my previous statements. Youâre just repeating lines basically. Multiple people at that page clearly said that it is quote âludicrously biasedâ, âoutright media biasâ, âunreliableâ. This is the same old example of defending the indefensible until it either goes away or suppressed. Altonydean (talk) 14:04, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
- Well, if I respond I'd just be goading you into yet more incivility. O3000, Ret. (talk) 14:19, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics
[edit]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, Wikipediaâs 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.
The template doesn't say it outright, but I will. Accusing editors of "defending the indefensible" and failing to understand what you're saying "out of [their] own ignorance" is not acceptable. American politics has always been a hot-button topic on Wikipedia, which makes following our behavior norms all the more important in that topic area. â CallitropsisđČ[talk · contribs] 22:12, 10 August 2024 (UTC)
