This is a list of previously controversial issues. The primary characteristic of a controversial issue is that the article is constantly being edited in a circular manner, or even worse, is provoking edit wars.
This page is conceived as a location for articles that regularly become biased and need to be fixed, or articles that were once the subject of an NPOV dispute and are likely to suffer future disputes.
Articles listed here may need more work to approach a neutral point of view than is usual. For articles that are currently unbalanced, see NPOV dispute instead.
Articles on this list should be checked from time to time to monitor developments in the presentation of the issues. Use the "related changes" link to quickly review changes to these articles.
Discussions about those controversies should be limited to the relevant Talk pages. For more information, see Wikipedia:Guidelines for controversial articles.
Boilerplate text warning There is a boilerplate warning {{controversial}}, which displays as: This is a controversial topic, which may be disputed.
Please read this talk page discussion before making substantial changes. It should be placed at the top of a controversial article's discussion page. It should not be placed on top of the article itself. Ideally it would be placed on the page displayed after one starts editing the page, but for technical reasons this is not possible, yet. In the meantime, you can also place {{subst:controversial note}} at the top of an article, which places the below HTML comment at the top of edit windows (this will only be visible to people who click 'edit this page').
<!-- CONTROVERSIAL TOPIC: Please read the talk page discussion before making substantial changes. -->
(This warning's text can be edited at Template:Controversial and Template:Controversial note. See also the list of pages that currently have this warning.)
