Nevillian theory of Shakespeare authorship

Your ill-thought comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sir Henry Neville theory of Shakespeare Authorship have caused me to switch from keep to userfy. You would do well to make more effort to learn Wikipedia editing and spend less time arguing with other editors. Chris Troutman (talk) 15:01, 5 April 2016 (UTC)

NPOV

"To your point about "neutrality", I've declared my POV for this candidate, but I'd have to call a foul on your comments. I Googled "Tom Reedy Shakespeare" and after an hour or so following links found literally volumes of Tom Reedy comment all opposing the questioning of Shakespeare's authorship."

You really need to read up on Wikipedia policy, most especially [WP:NPOV]]. Neutrality has nothing to do with my stance on the SAQ, or yours either. It refers to the way an article is written. An article should be a report, not try to make a case. Tom Reedy (talk) 13:13, 13 April 2016 (UTC)

Discretionary sanctions about Shakespeare authorship

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 the Shakespeare authorship question. 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.
