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:
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.

"Unless otherwise specified, contentious topics are broadly construed; this contentious topics procedure applies to all pages broadly related to a topic, as well as parts of other pages that are related to the topic."followed by a footnote "b" that states
"This procedure applies to edits and pages in all namespaces."You have made edits to that talk page, and are thus being alerted to the existence of the contentious topic procedure, as authorized by the Arbitration Committee. The use of the specific template Template:Contentious topics/alert/first to alert an editor to the CT system which is "mandatory for the first time an editor is alerted to contentious topics (except if they've previously been alerted to discretionary sanctions in any topic area)". Therefore, you are receiving that specific template. It's really that simple. It is neither "entirely irrelevant" nor "definitely uncalled for" nor "attempting to bully another editor off of Wikipedia" (the template specifically states This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.) I'll be blunt -- your behavior here indicates that you are not here to constructively build an encyclopedia and your extreme overreaction to receiving a standard, mandatory template, is not helping sway that opinion. In any event, you've been duly warned that edits to pages covered by the contentious topics procedure are subject to heightened scrutiny and that "Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project." I strongly suggest you take this opportunity to review the requirements as stated in the alert. ⇒ SWATJester Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat! 18:49, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
I reiterate my being resolved in enacting Wikipedia's rules on civil behavior. Of course I will continue to discuss in a calm and fact-based manner rather than assuming intentions of others and/or attacking their character and integrity, because the path you're pursuing is not going to end well for you. ⇒ SWATJester Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat! 16:02, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
"topic", which I'm sure I don't have to explain the nomenclature of within Wikipedia, which you replied to with
the nomenclature is quite clear -- as I bolded, the term applies to all namespaces, yet what appears on my end as you having bolded is:
"mandatory for the first time an editor is alerted to contentious topics (except if they've previously been alerted to discretionary sanctions in any topic area)", with the actual quote about applying to all namespace being neither bolded nor about "the term" ("topic"):
"This procedure applies to edits and pages in all namespaces.".
Please do not
attack other editors. 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.

Please stop treating other editors as opponentsbased entirely on assumptions, going counter to WP:FAITH2. Hackerman67 ( talk) 19:55, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
