  Hello, I'm Johannnes89. 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 New Afrikan Black Panther Party seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Johannnes89 (talk) 06:47, 31 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

  Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. I am glad to see that you are discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Talk:Black Lives Matter are for discussion related to improving the article in specific ways based on reliable sources and the project policies and guidelines, not for general discussion about the topic or unrelated topics, or statements based on your thoughts or feelings. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you.

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.

If you are incapable of considering the possibility that you might be doing anything less than perfectly, perhaps we should extend the block to indefinite. Ian.thomson (talk) 22:28, 3 September 2020 (UTC)Reply

If you are incapable of tolerating different opinions, perhaps this is not the site for you . Freedomnowandforever (talk) 23:00, 3 September 2020 (UTC)Reply

There's a difference between tolerating someone having a different opinion and letting someone dogmatically issue their opinions as if empirical facts. Ian.thomson (talk) 22:56, 4 September 2020 (UTC)Reply

You’re actually right. Opinions aren’t facts . Freedomnowandforever (talk) 00:14, 6 September 2020 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for your question on Talk:Leelah Alcorn. That talk page is not a forum for discussing transphobia except as it relates to Leelah Alcorn. If you ask at the Reference Desk (Wikipedia:Reference_desk/Humanities) they will be happy to point you to appropriate resources. Best wishes! Marnanel (talk) 18:54, 9 September 2020 (UTC)Reply
