DS alert

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 all edits about, and all pages related to post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people, 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 that 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.

References

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. Remember that when adding content about health, please only use high-quality reliable sources as references. We typically use review articles, major textbooks and position statements of national or international organizations (There are several kinds of sources that discuss health: here is how the community classifies them and uses them). WP:MEDHOW walks you through editing step by step. A list of resources to help edit health content can be found here. The edit box has a built-in citation tool to easily format references based on the PMID or ISBN. We also provide style advice about the structure and content of medicine-related encyclopedia articles. The welcome page is another good place to learn about editing the encyclopedia. If you have any questions, please feel free to drop me a note. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 05:44, 3 January 2018 (UTC)

Edit war warning

Your recent editing history at Infertility and Childlessness and Voluntary childlessness and Reproductive life plan and shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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 BRD 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 your 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.

Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you. Jytdog (talk) 22:05, 5 January 2018 (UTC)

Hello CorduroyCap. You may be able to avoid a block for edit warring if you will respond and agree to wait for talk page consensus before you try adding similar material again to our medical articles. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 03:49, 6 January 2018 (UTC)

Identifying as female

Hello,CorduroyCap! Nice to see another woman at Wikipedia. (We amount to less than 10% of editors here at last count.) However, I noticed at User talk:Jytdog that you were offended at the way you were treated somewhere, and you assumed it was typical male behavior toward a woman. I have news for you: there is no way to tell, from your username or your self-identification here, that you are a woman. There are ways to let people know this. You can either let people know who you are and how you want to be addressed - or else, if you prefer to keep your gender anonymous, you must realize that people don't know.

If you check me out, it is easy to tell I am female. I have self-identified in this way so that people can avoid any stupid assumptions and can refer to me as "she". If you choose, you can avoid this kind of issue in the future by any of several ways to identify yourself. Here are two of the things that I have done to let people know: I added this userbox to my user page: {{User:Hmwith/ubx/fem}} That announces that I am female and adds me to the category "Female Wikipedians". Also, under my "Preferences", I answered the question "How do you prefer to be described?" by checking "She edits wiki pages". Doing either of these things will result in people seeing a little "female" symbol if they hover their cursor over your name. If you want people to treat you as a woman, do one of them. If you choose not to identify yourself in this way, then don't jump to assumptions about the way you are treated, because most people will think of you as "one of the guys".

Any questions? Just ask! You can ask here on your talk page; I will see it --MelanieN (talk) 04:25, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
