Activism

Please stop adding memes at Self-checkout. That is not the purpose of Wikipedia and disruption will result in a block. Questions can be asked at WP:Teahouse. Johnuniq (talk) 00:35, 19 March 2020 (UTC)

The foundation that accepts donations and Wikipedia (the encyclopaedia) are entirely separate entities as far as editing management, although the first supports the second. David notMD (talk) 10:01, 19 March 2020 (UTC)

Covid discretionary sanctions alert

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.

Please carefully read this information:

A community discussion has authorised the use of general sanctions for pages related to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
The specific details of these sanctions are described here.

Broadly, general sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimise disruption in controversial topic areas. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to these topics that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behaviour, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. An editor can only be sanctioned after he or she has been made aware that general sanctions are in effect. This notification is meant to inform you that sanctions are authorised in these topic areas, which you have been editing. It is only effective if it is logged here. Before continuing to edit pages in these topic areas, please familiarise yourself with the general sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

Suggestion

The warning that you've been trying to add to articles might be better propagated via Twitter. I suggest you try to get the word out to people that way. Schazjmd (talk) 21:36, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
