Note re: administrative ruling in effect

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.

  Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit of yours to the page Left-wing politics has an edit summary that appears to be inaccurate or inappropriate. The summaries are helpful to people browsing an article's history, so it is important that you use edit summaries that accurately tell other editors what you did. Feel free to use the sandbox to make test edits. "adding minor details' when the major part of your edit was deleting sourced text was misleading. Doug Weller talk 12:49, 11 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

  Hi Nbaker92! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you. Doug Weller talk 15:38, 11 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Jon Ossoff. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:45, 11 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

Read the talk page before posting, please

Regarding your edit to Talk:Parler, there are already multiple sections for this issue. If you have something to contribute, do so, but note that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a democracy. Arguments should be based on policy. Grayfell (talk) 21:29, 11 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

  You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Marjorie Taylor Greene; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Grayfell (talk) 21:32, 11 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

Note that you are not entitled to three reverts, it's just that a 4th is generally an automatic block. You can be blocked for editwarring if you try for 3 reverts a day. Use the talk page. Doug Weller talk 15:11, 12 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

Talk:Parler

edit

No one is "silencing" you. There have been multiple redundant conversations about the term "antisemitism" in the article, and starting a new section that shows you haven't read any of the others (despite already being told about these discussions on your talk page above) is not helpful to anyone.

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to assume bad faith when dealing with other editors, as you did at Talk:Parler, you may be blocked from editing. Assume that they are here to improve rather than harm Wikipedia."There is literally ZERO evidence for this. The only reason this asinine claim would even be included here is severe left-wing bias!"

  Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, such as at Talk:Parler, (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

  1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
  2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button   located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. GorillaWarfare (talk) 16:06, 12 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
