September 2017[edit]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by adding commentary and your personal analysis into articles, as you did at Intelligent design, you may be blocked from editing. —Paleo Neonate – 05:36, 19 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Request to point out how I am violating the above mentioned policy.

This message contains important information about an administrative situation on Wikipedia. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.

Please carefully read this information:

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding pseudoscience and fringe science, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.

Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you that sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

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

Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) 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.

Just a friendly reminder to sign your posts. Looking at your other contributions, it looks like you have the gist of the WP:POV. Dolotta (talk) 06:17, 19 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Getting nothing concrete aside from being redirected to pages. Is there is mechanism to ensure editors with more priveleges substantiate accusations against new users? --The scar face (talk) 06:27, 19 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The wonderful people at the WP:TEAHOUSE should be very helpful answering your questions. I'll send a welcome your way with helpful links for you. Dolotta (talk) 06:34, 19 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, and a Question[edit]

Hello, Scar Face. Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. I'm sorry to see that a conflict has sprung up. I noticed your post over at WP:ANI. As I'm trying to understand the history of the dispute, I noticed that there are a few anonymous edits. Before you got your user name, were you the editor who did this edit trying to make the lead sound more neutral: [1]? Alephb (talk) 09:51, 19 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, for not clarifying properly. Yes, I made the edit. I created an account, because multiple use this IP, and so I wished to keep that separate from the account. --The scar face (talk) 09:55, 19 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

3RR overriding policies[edit]

Those are explicitly listed in the Exemptions section. Other policies aren't exempt. Doug Weller talk 13:22, 19 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Edit warring at Intelligent design[edit]

You've been warned for edit warring per a complaint at the edit warring noticeboard. You are risking a block if you revert again at Intelligent design without first getting consensus in favor of your change on the talk page. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 17:14, 20 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
