The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date).

Discretionary Sanctions Notification - American Politics

edit
This message contains important information about an administrative situation on Wikipedia. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.

Please carefully read this information:

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding , 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 that 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.

DuckyWhucky, please read the above notice about "Discretionary Sanctions" carefully. These are special editing rules that apply to controversial subjects like those about American politics. Those rules say

  • You must not make more than one revert per 24 hours to this article.
  • You must not reinstate any challenged (via reversion) edits without obtaining consensus on the talk page of this article.
  • You are required to abide by a civility restriction, and are subject to discretionary sanctions while editing this page.

They mean that if something you wrote is removed from an article ("challenged via reversion") you must not add it again. First you must go to the article's talk page and discuss it and get consensus before it can be in the article. This particularly relates to the material you have been adding to the Special Counsel article; it has been removed twice and if you add it a third time you will be in violation of the rules and could be blocked from editing. Same with your additions to the US Presidential Election article. --MelanieN (talk) 04:15, 20 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

DuckyWhucky: I've reverted your edits to Alt-right, not because I think it's all necessarily wrong, but because I think it all needs to be discussed. I look forward to hearing your arguments, which it would be easier to deal with if you divided them into specific subject threads. Thanks. Beyond My Ken (talk) 17:08, 24 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
