- One important policy to keep in mind is Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources ("RS" for short). Under this policy, news articles from high-quality periodicals or agencies are considered reliable sources, meaning that we can use them to support statements of fact and general characterizations. For example, articles in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Associated Press, Reuters, and so forth are considered highly reliable. Neutralitytalk 07:02, 6 March 2017 (UTC)
Notice regarding edits related to post-1932 politics of the United States
[edit]Please carefully read this information:
The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding all edits about, and all pages related to post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.
Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you that sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.- This is a standard notification/alert given to users who edit the topic area. The article you edited, Breitbart News, is under this system. This notice does not imply any wrongdoing on your part. Neutralitytalk 07:00, 6 March 2017 (UTC)
