Important Notice edit
 | This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
You have shown interest in COVID-19. Due to past disruption in this topic area, the community has enacted a more stringent set of rules. Any administrator may impose sanctions—such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks—on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic. For additional information, please see the guidance on these sanctions. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor. |

Please read wp:blp.Slatersteven (talk) 15:46, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
If you have an issue with an article you raise it on that article's talk page, not another. Please read wp:talk.Slatersteven (talk) 16:32, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
And you need to read wp:npa.Slatersteven (talk) 16:33, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
Also wp:spa, as right now you are naming waves in a very contentious topic area, and nowhere else. It might be best to learn how we do things by editing in a less contentious topic area first.Slatersteven (talk) 16:40, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
- This is why I am strictly confining my comments to the relevant talk pages, rather than direct edits to the articles. Is that not what WP prefers in such cases, rather than making these edits outright? And if not, how exactly is someone supposed to raise questions about problematic articles and sources if you can't even talk about them in the talk page?

- You do not get to ignore NPA or SPA (or come to that any policy) by not editing article directly.Slatersteven (talk) 16:49, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
- It is not a personal attack to post directly sourced examples of Ahmed promoting fringe viewpoints and figures in his own words and on his own website. FranciscoWS (talk) 16:59, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
- No it is to accuse other users of being "pro-Ahmed", wp:agf is clear you do not assume users are not acing in good faith unless you have strong grounds. Then you report them, you do not use your assumptions to dismiss their edits or actions.Slatersteven (talk) 17:03, 14 January 2022 (UTC)

Notice edit
This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
You have shown interest in articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.
For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.
