GMO and pesticide subjects

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 genetically modified organisms, commercially produced agricultural chemicals and the companies that produce them, broadly construed. 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. 

In addition to the discretionary sanctions described above the Arbitration Committee has also imposed a restriction which states that you cannot make more than one revert on the same page in the same 24 hour period on all pages relating to genetically modified organisms, agricultural biotechnology, or agricultural chemicals, broadly construed and subject to certain exemptions.

You can block me, tbh. But it seemed weird to reference a criticism without context from a source whose trustworthiness has been put into doubt. If I violated rules, I accept it. Withaker10 (talk) 17:14, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

Edit warring

Your behavior is currently being discussed at: Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Edit_warring#User:Withaker10_reported_by_User:KoA_(Result:_) KoA (talk) 15:37, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

Hello Withaker10. You seem to have violated the WP:1RR rule that is in place on all GMO pages. There may still be time for you to avoid a block if you will reply to the complaint and promise to abide by consensus. EdJohnston (talk) 17:07, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

Edit warring at Vandana Shiva, a page which is covered by WP:AC/DS

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 31 hours for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.

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 ~~~~}}.

Per a complaint at WP:AN3 regarding WP:1RR violation on a page which is covered by the WP:ARBGMO sanctions. Notice my comment above, in which I invited you to respond to the AN3 complaint but you did not do so. EdJohnston (talk) 16:44, 27 July 2022 (UTC)
