Hello, I'm Wallyfromdilbert. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Carlos Maza, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. – Wallyfromdilbert (talk) 22:13, 23 September 2019 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Sabbatino. Your recent edit to the page Dante Exum appears to have added premature information about a reported sports transaction, so it has been removed for now. The transaction is based on anonymous sources and/or awaiting an official announcement. If you believe the transaction has been completed, please cite a reliable source or discuss your change on the article's talk page. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. – Sabbatino (talk) 15:04, 24 December 2019 (UTC)

You are correct. My apologies. If it is confirmed though, please reset the page to my edits if you are available. MaosMao (talk) 15:11, 24 December 2019 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Josh Mandel shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. 331dot (talk) 15:09, 17 April 2022 (UTC)

If sources describe Mr. Mandel as far right, then Wikipedia does too. If you have independent reliable sources that describe former President Trump as far right, or Senator Sanders as far left, please offer them on their respective talk pages. 331dot (talk) 15:10, 17 April 2022 (UTC)

I could provide hundreds of sources that call President Trump far-right, a fascist, a Nazi, etc., but that does not make that assertion true. I don't care about Josh Mandel, I really don't, it is about consistency. It is not correct formatting to assert a politician's supposed views in the first sentence of an article unless they are outside the mainstream, and there's no reason to put Mandel outside of that. Socialists such as members of the "Squad", whose views align with those of European political parties that are labeled "far-left", do not have that described in their first sentence. This is simply a specific attack, for what reason I have no clue, against a completely mainstream politician, that goes against Wikipedia precedent. I invite you to prove me wrong. MaosMao (talk) 16:13, 17 April 2022 (UTC)

Marjorie Taylor Greene, Mark Finchem, David Duke, Justin Barrett, and a significant amount of others have their far-right views described in the first line. There's four examples, of which there's significantly more. ser! (chat to me - see my edits) 16:20, 17 April 2022 (UTC)

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.

To opt out of receiving messages like this one, place {{Ds/aware}} on your user talk page and specify in the template the topic areas that you would like to opt out of alerts about. 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.
