Important Notice

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 climate change. 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.

Tips

• Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
• It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
• If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
• Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
• When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
• If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
• Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Happy editing! Cheers, Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 18:18, 26 March 2023 (UTC)

March 2023

Hello, I'm MP1999. I noticed that you recently removed content from Rohan Gunaratna without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. -MP1999 talk 18:22, 26 March 2023 (UTC)

Hi MP1999. I am a colleague of Professor Rohan Gunaratna and the changes made were upon his request. The changes were made to update his page as most of the information were outdated or inaccurate. I will write a better summary next time. Appreciate if you can restore the changes that I made.

Thanks RashanePintoe (talk) 13:53, 27 March 2023 (UTC)

April 2023--refactoring others' comments

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. 2601:19E:4180:6D50:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 09:38, 2 April 2023 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia. 2601:19E:4180:6D50:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 09:46, 2 April 2023 (UTC)

SAme here, stop. Slatersteven (talk) 10:02, 2 April 2023 (UTC)

And (not a good idea over this).

Your recent editing history 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; read about 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.

THis is your last warning, once more an I report you to wp:aiv. Slatersteven (talk) 10:17, 2 April 2023 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abuse of editing privileges.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.
