Wikipedia is not for advocacy, mr Advocate. If you edit Murder of Anni Dewani against consensus again, you may be blocked for disruptive editing. Bishonen | talk 12:15, 1 December 2015 (UTC).

Advocate's edit was not against consensus, mr B.S. And it replaced a lede section which ignores Wikipedia's written standards with one that meets those standards. Advocate, I applaud your efforts to get Wikipedia to abide by their standards. Though Bishonen has admitted elsewhere he doesn't care if the page on Anni Dewani is truthful or not, so don't expect a fair hearing from him.209.52.88.212 (talk) 09:58, 4 December 2015 (UTC)

Alert: Discretionary sanctions for pages regarding living or recently deceased people

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 living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles, 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 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.

Your edits at that article was not improving the article. You need to read through some articles to see how a Wikipedia article is formatted. If you continue to do more of these kind of edits you risk being blocked. As previously warned.--BabbaQ (talk) 20:44, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

Pay no attention to what BabbaQ says, Advocate. He is an officious pest who continually makes reckless accusations without even so much as reading the edits he's commenting on.209.52.88.212 (talk) 10:08, 4 December 2015 (UTC)

• Please don't add anything whatever to a biography of a living or recently dead person without citing a reliable source for the information. Read this policy. Bishonen | talk 22:34, 1 December 2015 (UTC).
