You are receiving this notice because you recently edited one or more pages relating to blockchain or cryptocurrencies topics. You have not done anything wrong. We just want to alert you that "general" sanctions are authorized for certain types of edits to those pages.
A community decision has authorized the use of general sanctions for pages related to blockchain and cryptocurrencies. The details of these sanctions are described here. All pages that are broadly related to these topics are subject to a one revert per twenty-four hours restriction, as described here.
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 the editor has been made aware that general sanctions are in effect. 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.Help me!

Hi,
This is my first time to edit in Wiki. Will I not be able to edit the NEM Wifi page?
Thanks!

- The notice is just because the rules about editing cryptocurrency related pages are especially strict, because there's been a bit of fighting over what should be included and so on. If you follow them, you'll be fine. The most relevant policy is probably the Wikipedia:Editing policy. If you're unsure of something, you can use this template again, ask at the Wikipedia:Teahouse or on my talk page. Good luck! Alpha3031 (t • c) 07:10, 5 June 2019 (UTC)
- Yeah, editing is fine - but every source has to be to a Reliable Source (which is sorta explained by WP:RS), and for crypto things that really means mainstream third-party coverage - not crypto sites, not the project itself, but coverage in actual mainstream press of the thing in question. We had to get super-harsh because spammers mean we can't have nice things, basically. (and there is SO MUCH SPAM in crypto.) - David Gerard (talk) 10:23, 5 June 2019 (UTC)
- (clarify) Just wanted to note: you personally are not under any specific restrictions. There is a restriction on undoing other people's edits (which includes undoing undos) but that applies for everyone editing that topic area. As to when it will be lifted, there is currently no end date, and it is possible it will remain in place for many years. Some of these restrictions have been there for more than a decade. (I forgot to mention, you can also notify me by using
{{ping|Alpha3031}}at the start of your comment (and signing it of course) which would keep the discussion in one place and make it easier to follow) - As for best practices, you should probably avoid linking too many times to their own websites (our guidelines say only one link is usually appropriate), as that looks very spammy. Same thing with wording like
"designed and coded from the ground up for scale and speed"
. Keep in mind that as an encyclopedia, we are required to describe subjects in a neutral without even a hind of promotion. We're not supposed to gush about how awesome things are, even if it were true, so writing about something you're really excited about can be difficult. Alpha3031 (t • c) 13:46, 5 June 2019 (UTC)
