[edit]Hello, MathMan4, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations verified in reliable, reputable print or online sources or in other reliable media. Always provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles.
If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or come to The Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have.

Speedy deletion nomination of Sport Clips
[edit]
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Sport Clips requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sport Clips. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

[edit]
Hello, I'm Leonidlednev. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to User:MathMan4/sandbox have been undone because they appeared to be gaming the system. Gaming the system is defined as misusing Wikipedia's policies for personal advantage at the expense of other editors. Wikipedia policies exist to support constructive collaboration, not to be used tactically to disrupt or "win" disputes. Gaming the system is easily spotted and your contributions are always public.
Examples of gaming the system may include, but are not limited to:
- Wikilawyering — excessively literal or selective interpretation of policies to sidestep their intent
- Cherry-picking wording from a policy to support a view that does not in fact match with or comply with policy
- Repeatedly pushing a viewpoint with which the community consensus clearly does not agree
- Gaslighting — such as rewriting history or denying clear evidence of prior actions
- Abuse of process, including but not limited to gaming of the AfC process (ex: removing the record of previous reviews)
- Deliberately reverting another editor's edits in one article in retaliation for a dispute elsewhere
- Making unconstructive or trivial edits to raise your user access level
You can find more details on gaming the system, including more examples of potentially problematic behavior, at Wikipedia:Gaming the system. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk, or reach out to me at my talk page. Thanks. Leonidlednev (T, C, L) 03:18, 16 June 2026 (UTC)

Contentious topic area alert
[edit]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, Wikipedia's norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have an expanded level of powers and discretion 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 practices;
- 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. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

[edit]Hi. I noticed that you have made multiple edits that were race related that have all been reverted. [1][2][3][4] Some of these contained warnings to not alter, one was edit warring, and all were against consensus. You are welcome to discuss such on the related talk pages. But altering consensus text on contentious topics in this manner can be problematic. O3000, Ret. (talk) 23:50, 17 June 2026 (UTC)
Recent edit
[edit]Hello. I just want to inform you that you recently edited a page on a highly contentious topic, seemingly out of the blue [5]. The edit has been reverted and a discussion has been opened on the talk page if you wish to elaborate on your view or concern. Mostly, I want to let you know that editing contentious pages without discussion on the talk page can cause you problems. I recommend taking some time to read about editing on contentious topics so you don't end up getting blocked or topic banned or something like that.
