Discretionary sanctions notification

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-1992 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.

Hi Epitome of Creativity,

Several things -

Many of the ancestral groups added to the table do not appear at all in the cited source. There is no "Indian" figure; there are no Asian figures, and several of the Latin American figures such as Mexican or Cuban are not present. If they are being left in the table due to the presence of older material, can you either, A) cite this other material or B) explain why you've decided to leave some groups that do not appear in the source but remove others?

There were already citations present for the previous figures. The table in its current form is not supported by the sources given. Additionally, some of the comments in the endnotes appear to be spurious.

This figure takes into account Basques with ancestry from both Spain and France, and so the Spanish and French figures in this chart excludes their corresponding Basque populations.

The cited table does not include figures for either "Spanish" or "Basque", so how was this conclusion reached?

The data for both Canadian Americans and French Americans factor in the data for French Canadian Americans, who are a subgroup of the two aforementioned groups.

Again, what is the basis of this claim? French Canadians are a distinct ethnic group of people and always designate themselves as such.

This term is mostly used by White Americans who are unaware of their specific European ancestries, and they usually tend to be of British stock.

What is the purpose of this endnote? And, what is "British stock"?

And, the African American page itself clearly states that "African American" is an ethnicity. The "Black" categorization includes all Americans of black heritage. Applying it solely to African Americans is unfounded. "Black" also does not appear in the referenced table as a distinct group. The "Sub-Saharan African" category includes South Africans, who, in the US, are largely not black. The figure given for both "Africans" and "Sub-Saharan Africans" in the referenced source does not match the changes made to the table.021120x (talk) 04:54, 12 December 2021 (UTC)

Ok, first of all, I will admit, the endnotes were kind of unnecessary, I just added them to explain certain groups in depth.

As for the cited census source, if you look up any Indian, Asian, or Latin American nationalities in the filter part of the search part to the left of the chart, they will show up as categorized in the S0201 chart. I will edit the census link to ensure that all ancestral groups in the chart are being accounted for.

Regarding the Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander statistics, I updated the declared population and household income figures for the five Oceanian groups from 2018 to 2019.Epitome of Creativity (talk) 05:07, 12 December 2021 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at American football. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. BilCat (talk) 05:36, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
