Discretionary sanctions notification

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 the Troubles. 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 [[Maze Prison escape] article, as well as other articles relating to The Troubles, Irish Nationalism and British Nationalism in relation to Ireland, is under a 1-revert-restriction, meaning no more than 1 revert in a 24 hour period. FDW777 (talk) 08:13, 14 January 2022 (UTC)

January 2022

Hello, I'm FlightTime. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Léon: The Professional, 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 referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. - FlightTime (open channel) 02:19, 31 January 2022 (UTC)

Sockpuppet investigation

An editor has opened an investigation into sockpuppetry by you. Sockpuppetry is the use of more than one Wikipedia account in a manner that contravenes community policy. The investigation is being held at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/WarrenWilliam, where the editor who opened the investigation has presented their evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, and then feel free to offer your own evidence or to submit comments that you wish to be considered by the Wikipedia administrator who decides the result of the investigation. If you have been using multiple accounts (in a manner contrary to Wikipedia policy), please go to the investigation page and verify that now. Leniency is usually shown to those who promise not to do so again, or who did so unwittingly, but the abuse of multiple accounts is taken very seriously by the Wikipedia community.

You have recently made edits related to the Arab–Israeli conflict. This is a standard message to inform you that the Arab–Israeli conflict is a designated contentious topic. This message does not imply that there are any issues with your editing. Additionally editors must be logged-in have 500 edits and an account age of 30 days, and are not allowed to make more than 1 revert on the same page within 24 hours for pages within this topic. For more information about the contentious topics system, please see Wikipedia:Contentious topics. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 17:47, 23 October 2023 (UTC)

November 2023

Please do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Wikipedia about living (or recently deceased) persons, as you did to Angelica Jade Bastién. You were notified above about the contentious Arab-Israeli conflict topic area, and I removed your addition of this content [1] from the BLP you had recently nominated for deletion as WP:UNDUE because it is sourced directly to something written by the subject of the article, but the biographies of living persons policy also applies, and much better sourcing is needed before contentious content is added to the article. Thank you, Beccaynr (talk) 20:58, 24 November 2023 (UTC)

ANI notice

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Iskandar323 (talk) 20:23, 8 December 2023 (UTC)

I have removed extended confirmed permission from your account, since you appear to have gained the permission by gaming the edit count requirements through many inconsequential edits, which are contrary EPC's requirement for substantive experience. You may request return of the permission after another 250 substantive edits, over at least three months, at WP:AN. WP:ANI notice is here [2] Acroterion (talk) 01:06, 9 December 2023 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics

• == Introduction to contentious topics ==

You have recently edited a page related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

• adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
• comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
• follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
• comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
• refrain from gaming the system.

Additionally, you must be logged-in, have 500 edits and an account age of 30 days, and are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on a page within this topic.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

The page which you recently edited and which comes under this rule is Roger Waters. Burrobert (talk) 06:01, 9 December 2023 (UTC)

Your edits

You seem to be removing verbs from entries for Events in some Year articles. This cuts across the Wikipedia guideline that favours complete sentences, so please don't do it. Deb (talk) 17:02, 9 December 2023 (UTC)

December 2023

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for persistently making disruptive edits. Please see this link.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Black Kite (talk) 18:17, 9 December 2023 (UTC)

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

"Disruptive editing" may be given as the official reason why I have been blocked, but the real reason is for challenging an anti-Israel bias on the '2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel' page. I included names like Piers Corbyn and George Galloway, who have denied that children were killed and, in Galloway's case, that Hamas militants raped Israelis. These entries have been deleted by editors who are clearly partisan and anti-Israel. Over 95% of my Wikipedia edits were unrelated to this page or any Middle East-related content.

Decline reason:

Not a valid reason provided to unblock. Your "95% of unrelated edits" were mostly problematic automated editing to game extended-confirmed, as per ANI. Daniel (talk) 21:47, 9 December 2023 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Your personal attack on me

Before your series of personal attacks was removed, you wrote about me and others: Have any of you ever reflected on the life you're living – no career, no significant other, no children – and wondered if it was all worth it? I will answer. Let me tell you a little bit about me. I have been happily married for 42 years, and my loving wife is sitting beside me now. We have two adult sons, who we see regularly, and a delightful granddaughter who I visited with two days ago. Although I am now semi-retired at age 71. I worked full time for 50 years and have owned a small business with an excellent reputation for 30 years. One of my sons works in my business. Two years ago, my wife and I bought our retirement home for cash, and three weeks ago, we bought a new hybrid car paying 50% down. As for somehow being anti-Israel, I am Jewish and have visited Israel twice. I also served as the president of our synagogue's board of trustees in 1998-2000. I am both pro-Israel and pro-Palestine. Writing and researching has been one of my hobbies since my teenage years, and it is an honor and a pleasure to contribute to and serve as an administrator for this successful website that gets billions of pageviews every month.

More to the point, can Mr WW type at 75 wpm with 99% accuracy, like I can? That would save him a hell of a lot of his precious time. Deb (talk) 16:39, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
