The topic of Michael Jackson, broadly construed, is community-designated as a contentious topic.
In addition, administrators may apply semi-protection or extended confirmed protection for any length of time or indefinitely on articles in the topic area, provided they reasonably believe meatpuppetry or sockpuppetry has occurred. Administrators may also apply temporary semi-protection or extended confirmed protection on talk pages and pages conducting RfCs related to the topic area provided they reasonably believe meatpuppetry or sockpuppetry has occurred.
Pages covered by the contentious topic designation can be tagged with {{Gs/talk notice|topic=mj}}. To alert editors of a community-authorized contentious topic designation, use {{subst:Gs/alert|mj}}. To inform editors of a community sanction, use {{subst:Community sanction|sanction=|rationale=|topic=mj}} and if blocks are issued, {{subst:Uw-csblock}}. All individual sanctions and page restrictions must be logged below.
In addition to community venues (such as WP:AN or WP:ANI as appropriate), enforcement requests and appeals arising from these remedies may be submitted to the arbitration enforcement noticeboard (WP:AE).
