Discretionary sanctions notification 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 recently shown interest in Complementary and Alternative Medicine. 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 any 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.

There's also similar sanctions in place for pages related to 9/11 conspiracy theories. Griffin denies the relationship between HIV and AIDS, and promotes 9/11 conspiracy theories -- we can, must, and do explain that such ideas are objectively wrong.
Anyone who would say that Griffin's work represents commitment to the truth is not going to be much use in building a mainstream encyclopedia based on mainstream academic and journalistic sources. Stop wasting your time and ours at Talk:G. Edward Griffin. Ian.thomson (talk) 19:59, 30 December 2018 (UTC)Reply

December 2018 edit

 
You have been blocked temporarily from editing for being here to spread 9/11 conspiracy theories, right after you were told how bad an idea that'd be. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.
If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Ian.thomson (talk) 23:15, 30 December 2018 (UTC)Reply

Recent edits to God is dead edit

  Hello, and thank you for your recent contributions. I appreciate the effort you made for our project, but unfortunately I had to undo your edits because I believe the article was better before you made that change. Feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions. Thank you! ―Susmuffin Talk 05:20, 17 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

Reported. edit

  There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Your behavior had been reported.Rja13ww33 (talk) 18:00, 8 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

July 2019 edit

 

Your recent editing history at Allegations of CIA drug trafficking shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. 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 the bold, revert, discuss cycle 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 you 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.

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.
And accusing an editor of being a CIA operative posting disinformation is a personal attack. See WP:NPA and don't do that again. Meters (talk) 18:54, 8 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
 
Anonymous users from this IP address have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 week for persistently making disruptive edits.
If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Bbb23 (talk) 19:39, 8 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
If this is a shared IP address and you are an uninvolved editor with a registered account, you may continue to edit by logging in.
  • Note: threats and conspiracy theories about editors are not likely to help. Editors should really focus on processes: proposing sources, evaluating their reliability, establishing consensus about what to include, and due faithful summary of those sources. This requires patience and a certain level of detachment. —PaleoNeonate – 10:26, 9 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

Your reversion of deletion of unsourced material on Blue note edit

Regarding Special:Diff/924884914/930598223: I had previously removed this material with an explanation the talk page. Please explain there why you re-added it. --Allen (talk) 21:07, 9 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
