  Hello, I'm Coffee. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Menahem Pressler, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! Coffee // have a ☕️ // beans // 02:36, 9 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits referred to above, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so that you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

  Please do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Wikipedia about living (or recently deceased) persons, as you did to Aryeh Bourkoff. Thank you. Coffee // have a ☕️ // beans // 02:42, 9 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to Eli Pariser. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. Coffee // have a ☕️ // beans // 02:53, 9 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

  You are edit-warring at Nicola Peltz, adding uncited biographical claims, including claims footnoted to false citations. This violates Wikipedia policy for Biographies of Living Persons. Per WP:BRD, once reverted one takes ones concerns to the article talk page to try to reach consensus with other editors.--Tenebrae (talk) 23:35, 10 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

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.

Notice that you are now subject to an arbitration enforcement sanction

edit

The following sanction now applies to you:

You are indefinitely topic banned (WP:TBAN) from biographies of living and recently deceased people, broadly construed, while editing from any account or IP address. Please see WP:TBAN to ensure that you understand what a topic ban entails. In order to enforce this sanction, when editing from any other account or IP address, you are required to disclose that you are subject to this restriction on your userpage or talkpage, as appropriate, by linking to this sanction.

You have been sanctioned for continuing BLP violations post-DS alert that have continued a long pattern of disruptive BLP violations

This sanction is imposed in my capacity as an uninvolved administrator under the authority of the Arbitration Committee's decision at Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Editing of Biographies of Living Persons#Final decision and, if applicable, the procedure described at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions. This sanction has been recorded in the log of sanctions. If the sanction includes a ban, please read the banning policy to ensure you understand what this means. If you do not comply with this sanction, you may be blocked for an extended period, by way of enforcement of this sanction—and you may also be made subject to further sanctions.

You may appeal this sanction using the process described here. I recommend that you use the arbitration enforcement appeals template if you wish to submit an appeal to the arbitration enforcement noticeboard. You may also appeal directly to me (on my talk page), before or instead of appealing to the noticeboard. Even if you appeal this sanction, you remain bound by it until you are notified by an uninvolved administrator that the appeal has been successful. You are also free to contact me on my talk page if anything of the above is unclear to you. Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 21:04, 11 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

To enforce an arbitration decision and for Arbitration enforcement: Violating the topic ban from biographies of living and recently deceased people announced in Special:Diff/956165426, you have been blocked from editing for a period of 72 hours. You are welcome to edit once the block expires; however, please note that the repetition of similar behavior may result in a longer block or other sanctions.

If you believe this block is unjustified, please read the guide to appealing blocks (specifically this section) before appealing. Place the following on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Please copy my appeal to the [[WP:AE|arbitration enforcement noticeboard]] or [[WP:AN|administrators' noticeboard]]. Your reason here OR place the reason below this template. ~~~~}}. If you intend to appeal on the arbitration enforcement noticeboard I suggest you use the arbitration enforcement appeals template on your talk page so it can be copied over easily. You may also appeal directly to me (by email), before or instead of appealing on your talk page.

Reminder to administrators: In May 2014, ArbCom adopted the following procedure instructing administrators regarding Arbitration Enforcement blocks: "No administrator may modify a sanction placed by another administrator without: (1) the explicit prior affirmative consent of the enforcing administrator; or (2) prior affirmative agreement for the modification at (a) AE or (b) AN or (c) ARCA (see "Important notes" [in the procedure]). Administrators modifying sanctions out of process may at the discretion of the committee be desysopped."
