You have been blocked from editing for a period of 72 hours for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may request an unblock by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.  Doug Weller talk 16:11, 25 December 2016 (UTC)

Discretionary sanctions notifications

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 recently shown interest in complementary and alternative medicine. 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 any 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.

There's also similar sanctions in place regarding conspiracy theories about the September 11 attacks, pseudoscience (overlapping with the complementary and alternative medicine sanctions), US politics after 1932.

Wikipedia does not create artificial balance between conspiracy theories and reality-based sources.

Also, your edits to Ben Swann were not minor in any way. Ian.thomson (talk) 04:14, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

Oh, also, climate change.

Frankly, I strongly recommend avoiding editing any article anywhere near science or politics. As for why, you should read WP:FRINGE. Ian.thomson (talk) 16:33, 1 January 2019 (UTC)
