Monsanto 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 genetically modified organisms, commercially produced agricultural chemicals and the companies that produce them, broadly construed. 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.

I apologize that this is the first edit to your talk page, and I want to make it absolutely clear that I am not implying, and I do not think, that you did anything wrong. In fact, you did the right thing by asking on the article talk page. It's just that this is a required formality for editors working in this controversial topic area. --Tryptofish (talk) 21:41, 21 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
