Important informational notice regarding all edits about, and all pages related to post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people

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 all edits about, and all pages related to post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people, 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.

Important policies to be aware of

edit

Hi Irishman555, please don't revert to restore your edits when other users (especially three different users) have previously reverted your edits to a given article. When you face a dispute like this, the appropriate thing is to do to the article talk page and seek consensus for your decision. You should also be aware of a few policies in particular: the three-revert rule; the policy on edit-warring; and our special rules on American politics (see above).

Your recent editing history at Federation for American Immigration Reform 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 are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the 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.

Thank you!

Dear sir: Thank you for attempting to balance the FAIR Wikipedia article. It is currently in violation of several Wikipedia policies, because the lede is mostly about accusations from the SPLC, which is now more discredited than ever before. Furthermore, the rebuttals to these accusations has been deleted. I'm planning on adding labels to the article, to that effect.
