Discretionary sanctions alert for abortion and post-1932 American politics

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.

If you continue the highly tendentious editing you have been doing at Focus on the Family, you are likely to be topic banned or otherwise sanctioned. Bishonen | talk 12:31, 11 February 2020 (UTC).

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit of yours to the page Focus on the Family 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. The reason for this warning should be obvious. Doug Weller talk 09:18, 12 February 2020 (UTC)

Please stop attacking other editors, as you did on Focus on the Family. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. Doug Weller talk 09:20, 12 February 2020 (UTC)

Focus on the Family

Hey there, looks like you kinda got beat up as a result of your good faith effort to add some balance to the FOTF article. If you check the talk page there again you'll see they came down on me pretty hard as well, just for suggesting that the article use the word "evangelical" rather than the pejorative "fundamentalist" in the lead sentence. Then someone wanted to challenge my assertion that it was pejorative! And then a couple of others trying to insist that the reliable sources were on their side. After I pointed to several solid sources for "evangelical", one of the Wikipedians responded with six to support "fundamentalist". When I demonstrated how weak these were, I was told that I didn't have a consensus the discussion was closed. But I've now got no less than 20 reliable sources for "evangelical" or secondarily "conservative Christian". Stay posted. BlueMesa171 (talk) 15:22, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
