In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

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 climate change. 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.
To opt out of receiving messages like this one, place {{Ds/aware}} on your user talk page and specify in the template the topic areas that you would like to opt out of alerts about. 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.

editHello. Do you have a real-life connection to Tim Patterson? Examples of a connection would be knowing him as a family member, friend, colleague, employer, or teacher. Clayoquot (talk | contribs) 15:37, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
- No I don't have any such connection. With regard to your previous query about Dr. Patterson releasing a statement about his current take on climate change why don't you reach out to him directly? He is also giving periodic public lectures on the Anthropocene these days where such questions might show up in the question period after the talk. Neogloboquadrina (talk) 16:37, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
