DS alert

Please carefully read this information:

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.

Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

This message is informational only and does not imply misconduct regarding your contributions to date.

Your recent editing history at Scott Walker shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Important technical issue at Talk pages

Hi, this is a minor technical point that should help you in future editing. At the top of all "Talk" pages is a button. That button is "New section". If you click on this button a new talk page section opens up at the bottom of the talk page. This is important because editors are looking for new (or most recent) discussions at the bottom of the talk pages. When you insert commentary at the top of a talk page most editors skip right past it and miss it. I hope that this helps you, I think that you will find that more editors will weigh in if new sections appear in the expected place. Good luck and happy editing. If you have any questions or need any help or advice, please don't hesitate to drop a note at my talk page. Capitalismojo (talk) 22:01, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

Suggestion

While you might not believe it, some of the editors who have disagreed with you are the furthest thing from supporters of Scott Walker. When there are suggestions that you learn a about core Wikipedia policies they are serious and not just screwing around with you. Particularly on a bio article as closely watched (by all sides of the political spectrum) as Walker's, people take care to follow policy closely.

I guess what I'm saying is, if you want to have an impact at Wikpedia spend some time on a variety of articles. Move around and get into discussions at many different talk pages. Get a feel for how successful edits are made. Ask for help from editors that have been around a while. For example, OrangeMike is a senior editor and an admin. He's also a proud socialist from Milwaukee. While he didn't agree with your edits he might be a good place to start for advice if you are looking for it. Don't get frustrated and quit. It is possible to learn the ins and outs and end up making real improvements in articles.

I know you have been frustrated but if you hang in there you may find more success and some fun editing. That's just my two cents. Contact me anytime if I may help. Capitalismojo (talk) 02:07, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

I have to agree. There is a certain way you have to talk/write in an encyclopedia. Dispassionate, careful, etc. It's more work but in the end the encyclopedia has more credibility. --BoogaLouie (talk) 16:58, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
