Discretionary sanctions alert

edit

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 Armenia, Azerbaijan, or related conflicts. 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.

The Atlantic is a reliable source.--Ymblanter (talk) 21:46, 3 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
Oh yes I thought it probably was, but didn't think the blogs or maybe the other sources were. LauraWilliamson (talk) 21:49, 3 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
Read WP:RS and WP:EW then please.--Ymblanter (talk) 21:50, 3 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
It's funny, because I won a 24h ban trying to prevent an unmotivated deletion of a source of The Atlantic, by LauraWilliamson and another user. My fault that I don't study the rules on edit warring. Peace, let's start over.--Mhorg (talk) 10:55, 5 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
Well yes because I didn't edit war where as you did. I reverted you twice, you inserted and reinserted the content 6 times. Edit warring is defined by making more than 3 reverts within 24 hours. You still don't get it, do you? LauraWilliamson (talk) 10:57, 5 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

ANI notice

edit

I have no time to go deeper into it, so I left a notice at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Alexei Navalny, Mhorg, and ‎LauraWilliamson looking for a user to make a fourth revert in hope someone will take a look.--Ymblanter (talk) 15:55, 9 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but not for illegitimate reasons, and any contributions made while evading blocks or bans may be reverted or deleted.
If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you should review the guide to appealing blocks, and then appeal your block by adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|Your reason here ~~~~}}. Note that anything you post in your unblock request will be public, so you may alternatively use the Unblock Ticket Request System to submit an appeal if it contains information that must be private.

You must not loosen or remove this block, or issue an IP block exemption, without consulting with a checkuser or the Arbitration Committee.
