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.content
edithi, welcome to wikipedia. the notice above is not a punishment, just a notice everyone who edits these crypto articles gets. please try to find a better source for the info you added about iota and nano. it is useful, but needs an independent third party source (like wsj, nyt, ft.com, bloomberg, etc). could also be a peer reviewed journal. thanks!

- Hello User:Jtbobwaysf! I added three peer-reviewed academic sources[1][2][3] for the transaction fee statement on the Cryptocurrency article. Hopefully that will work :)

- I am pretty sure the [1] is not a WP:RS, it is a university thesis. The other two published by IEEE, I am not sure. It depends if they are peer reviewed or notable people writing the sources I guess, and I am not skilled at reading academic journals to comment. Thanks! Jtbobwaysf (talk) 17:22, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
- Ah, good point! I guess we will leave it to other editors to read the journals and make a decision. Regards, --Qwahzi (talk) 18:26, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
