Please do not add or change content, as you did at Simla Convention, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Kautilya3 (talk) 16:44, 26 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
You have recently edited a page related to India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, 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 your contributions to CW Chu College. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability and those sources should be reliable and independent of the subject. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.
Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 01:05, 14 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hey, hi.
I notice that you've added the phrase "shortly as" to the secondary or familiar names of some colleges and universities - e.g. Washington State University Vancouver; Washington State University Tri-Cities. I've never seen that construction before. I an reading it to mean about the same as, "shortened to", or "also known as", and wonder whether those more familiar phrases might be more suitable and less confusing to the average reader. Do you have examples of the phrase in common use elsewhere? Thanks in advance.
Also, is there any particular reason why at Michigan Law School you prefer "branded" to something more direct like, "also known as"? I suppose there's nothing pejorative about the word "branded", but it indicates that "Michigan Law" is how the school instructs people to refer to it when in fact it's just - what people call it, with or without the school's efforts. Thanks in advance for that too! JohnInDC (talk) 01:06, 2 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
- Hi again. I just went ahead and changed "shortly as" where I could find it to something more suitable. A search of English Wikipedia only turned it up in a few places, so it's not a standard English phrase that somehow I've not encountered. Sorry to have bothered you with that.

Hi Cfls. Thank you for your work on UHawaii. Another editor, Kingsmasher678, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:

Hi Cfls! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Xiran Jay Zhao that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Thank you. Sariel Xilo (talk) 00:12, 26 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
- 1. The "Chinese-born" is a summary from the content of the article. It was not contested in the main article, so that it was perceived not to be a "subject of a dispute".
- 2. Adding native name with reliable sources to articles is a common practice in Wikipedia. Please stop reverting the article, and gain consensus in Talk before you make any further reversion. Cfls (talk) 00:16, 26 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Just so you know, you generally don't have to specify HTTPS for most domains, where it is often the default when available and no protocol is specified. Remsense ‥ 论 15:32, 5 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
- I wouldn't consider it constructive to revert all of these edits. Also you may know that, "it is often the default when available and no protocol is specified" is a browser-dependent feature. You should not assume that all browsers will attempt the HTTPS connection first. In addition, if the first connection is made using HTTP and the website is not set up to automatically forward HTTP traffic to HTTPS, the latest version of Google Chrome will automatically disconnect the connection to the website in Incognito and require the user to click and confirm before the connection is proceeded. I believe that clarifying the connection protocol used by sites when they support HTTPS will improve information security and provide greater safety for all Wikipedia readers. My suggestion is that you might consider reversing any of your previous revertion edits that involved removing the HTTPS protocol. Thank you. Cfls (talk) 17:42, 5 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
- Even if it does, I don't see what the point is: HTTPS doesn't obscure that a connection was made to a particular domain, so if pages are served in HTTPS it makes no difference for privacy if an attempt is made in HTTP first. Remsense ‥ 论 18:10, 5 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
- What I mean is that it depends on the website itself whether to redirect HTTP traffic to HTTPS. Some websites configure it, while many do not. In addition, some browsers may try HTTPS first and then HTTP if it fails. However, this is a browser-dependent feature, not universal. Many browsers do not support this feature.
