Discretionary sanctions

edit

The talk page on is clearly labeled with a discretionary sanctions notice. That notice states:

"All editors must obtain consensus on the talk page of this article before reinstating any edits that have been challenged (via reversion). If in doubt, don't make the edit."

By reverting your addition of the long quote, I have challenged, via reversion, your edit. You cannot reinstate without obtaining consensus for it on the talk page. Please also note that the page is under a 1RR restriction. Please self revert.Volunteer Marek (talk) 14:48, 2 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

Per the discretionary sanctions, you may not restore content which has been challenged via reversion, as you did here without first getting consensus. And if you look on the talk page, it isn't just me who's objecting to this abuse of primary sources. Note that this is the second time you've done this, so you're perfectly aware of the restriction but are choosing to violate it anyway. Please self revert.Volunteer Marek (talk) 21:21, 4 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

My understanding is you are citing to an edit that I made before your 2 February post above. Had I seen the post from you above, I would have not added the material, so I don't think it's the second time I did it after you notified me; please correct me if my understanding is wrong. What does 'challenged via revision' mean? Thank you for the heads up.

A barnstar for you!

  The Original Barnstar
Hey G1729 thanks for all your great work on the Travel Ban/Executive Order 13769 article! The article's coverage is balanced and detailed, and I can see it getting promoted to GA status once the court drama is over in the (near) future. Appreciate your work against the strong temptation for recentism. AsianHippie (talk) 02:49, 11 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Kipchoge, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Kalenjin (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
