Please carefully read this information:

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding all edits about, and all pages related to, (a) GamerGate, (b) any gender-related dispute or controversy, (c) people associated with (a) or (b), all 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 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.

This message is informational only and does not imply misconduct regarding your contributions to date.

Gamergate Talk

Just a word to the wise, I think your latest addition to the Gamergate talk page could be seen as a BLP violation, or at least an attack on Gjoni. The admins are (correctly) twitchy in that area, on this topic, so I recommend keeping your language a bit more even-keeled. -- ATOMSORSYSTEMS ^(TALK) 21:25, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

WP:PROD

Hi, I've removed the PROD you attached to the Christians belief in life after death article as this can be dealt with under WP:CSD#A10 as the article is already duplicated elsewhere. Any questions drop me a message. Amortias (T)(C) 19:09, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

Re Principality of Garageland

Hi I was just wondering why you tagged my piece on Garageland for deletion. It is quite relevant and is not extensively covered on Wikipedia. Dickscawed (talk) 20:35, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

@Dickscawed: It's not sourced, and therefore doesn't belong on Wikipedia. I suggest you read WP:RS to see what constitutes a reliable source. Only if the subject has been covered by external reliable sources can we write an article about it. No Matter How Dark (talk) 20:37, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
