Hi

I've noticed some of your edits on articles I watch, and just wanted to come say hi. You appear to be a scientist who uses and likes genome editing technology.

We do love experts here - if you haven't come across it already, you may want to read our essay WP:EXPERT. You may also find this page handy, which has lots of tips on how to edit. Finally, you may want to consider joining one or more "wikiprojects" here where editors with similar interests work together and discuss common problems they encounter. I work a lot in Wikiproject Medicine. You can find other relevant projects by looking at the box at the top of the talk page of each of the articles that interest you - there are projects on genetics, cellular and molecular biology, etc. You can formally join any project by adding your name to their lists, or you can just put their talk page on your watchlist and start joining the discussions there. Anyway, welcome and good luck here! Jytdog (talk) 12:34, 26 May 2015 (UTC)

Thank you! --GenomeEditor (talk) 13:43, 26 May 2015 (UTC)

GMOs

I saw that you made some edits to some of the GMO pages, and got reverted. There's a history about edits on those topics, so here is a boilerplate notification about the rules that apply. Please understand that I am not implying that you did anything wrong! This is purely informational, and a formality.

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 all pages relating to genetically modified organisms, commercially produced agricultural chemicals and the companies that produce them, broadly construed, 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.

Happy editing! --Tryptofish (talk) 21:01, 4 October 2016 (UTC)
