Armenia/Azerbaijan discretionary sanctions

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.

Hello, I have no experience with DYK nominations. I guess you are following a formal procedure for the nomination of the page on Tsadkan Gebretensae? Anything that I can do to support it? Rastakwere (talk) 04:20, 4 July 2021 (UTC)Reply

@Rastakwere: It should be pretty simple at this point, someone will review it (may take time), and if they have any issues/questions then those need to be addressed. I am pretty sure I can handle any questions that may be asked, although obviously you are are welcome to participate too. I did move your alternative hook wording into main nomination for overall better readability, and as second one was just wikilink addition I simply added that link into original hook proposal.--Staberinde (talk) 08:55, 4 July 2021 (UTC)Reply

Separate paragraphs with a blank line

edit

Hi, Staberinde. When adding a new discussion at a Talk page with multiple paragraphs, please use one blank line between paragraphs per WP:Talk#Layout, not double break-tags, as occurred here. If there's ever a situation which requires you to use one, the unterminated break tag (<br>) breaks syntax highlighting, so please use either the terminated version <br />, or the replacement template {{br}} which is shorter and does the same thing.

Request for info

edit

In a recent edit summary for the Philippine–American War article here, you said, "1. we dont use newspapers published at the time to write about more than century old conflicts, historians do exist. 2. also even if better source existed, usage of "supporters" has been deprecated by community decision anyway". Could you point me towards discussions where this was established and/or to guidelines where these points are stated? Also, please see this discussion section that I've just added to that article talk page. Thanks. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 00:08, 29 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
