Important Notice

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 shown interest in post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people. 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.

  Hello, I'm Doug Weller. I noticed that you made a comment on the page Talk:Antifa (United States) that didn't seem very civil. Wikipedia is built on collaboration, so it's one of our core principles to interact with one another in a polite and respectful manner. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Doug Weller talk 18:28, 20 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

  Please refrain from using talk pages such as Talk:Antifa (United States) for general discussion of the topic or other unrelated topics. They are for discussion related to improving the article in specific ways, based on reliable sources and the project policies and guidelines; they are not for use as a forum or chat room. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. See here for more information. Thank you.

The sanctions described above apply to talk pages, in fact all pages. If you continue at attack other editors and use the talk page just a forum, you'll be blocked or topic banned. This has nothing to do with your politics and everything to do with your behaviour. Doug Weller talk 18:30, 20 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedia should have a process for reviewing and removing biased mods.

We have procedures for removing any editor who breaks our policies. But your complaint is that their views don't match your bias, so it's not very convincing. Doug Weller talk 18:49, 20 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

No, my complaint is that there is zero neutrality involved. The power hungry mods are the only ones allowed to edit certain pages, when everyone should have the right to do so as long as it is properly sourced.
