Your recent edits at Norman Bay
[edit]Thank you for taking an interest in Wikipedia and contributing to our article on Norman Bay. However, many of your edits are backed by sources that are not considered reliable. This is especially important in articles on biographies of living people. I have removed some of the material you added. Please note that contentious material on living people must only be re-inserted if it is backed by reliable sources. I am also a bit concerned that the latter part of the article was becoming a laundry list of vaguely negative information without any indication of why it was important to include it in the article.

Discretionary sanctions notification
[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 post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people. 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.
A few days ago I removed some information from Norman Bay which was either unsourced or very poorly sourced. This is a biography of a living person (BLP) and our policy on such articles is very clear that such material should be removed on sight. So I am a bit disappointed that you have chosen to re-insert the material without discussion. If you think this material belongs in the article, you need to at least find sources that comply with WP:RS to support it; even if you do that, some of it still reads like a laundry-list of negative material and will need discussion and wordsmithing before it should go back in. If you simple re-insert the same material again, it will be reported to the arbitration enforcement noticeboard for uninvolved administrators to deal with. GoldenRing (talk) 16:05, 6 June 2019 (UTC)
