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 living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. 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 Kiran891. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Cardinal Newman Society seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Kiran_891 (TALK) 22:15, 27 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

With all due respect, the version, and now revision of the article held to a less than neutral point of view. I think it’s rather presumptuous to assume that Cardinal Newman would have adopted or not adopted certain views held by the modern Cardinal Newman Society. To assert in the Wikipedia article that the organization has “been criticized for adopting views that Newman would have opposed” is itself an opinionated assertion that does not help to inform readers about the Society. I believe that by omitting this sentence from the article, and allowing readers to come to their own conclusions about the relationship between the views of the Cardinal Newman Society and Cardinal Newman himself, would be much more neutral than keeping the sentence.
