Standard notice

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-1992 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.

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.

Hi, hope you are well. Please see above, and please also check out WP:ONUS. If there's a challenged cite, the general rule is that the proponent must gain consensus before restoring. Neutrality^talk 20:15, 17 May 2022 (UTC)

Adding content not supported by source / modifying text so it no longer reflects source

Please don't add content not supported by a source, or modifying text so it no longer reflects source. All material on Wikipedia must "include an inline citation to a reliable source that directly support the material." You've repeatedly edited content in a way that diverges from what the sources say, and that's not how we do things here. Neutrality^talk 19:54, 19 May 2022 (UTC)

Hi there,

It is good to work with you on the Ely article. I have been working on Minnesota articles for years under my old user name Gandydancer. You can see my interest in Minnesota on that page. I had an accident that left me with some neural damage that has left me less active than I used to be and typing more difficult. I also lost my computer with my old pass word. I wrote a lot of the Ely article so it is hard to see so much of it, long standing copy, deleted in one or two days without discussion. The same thing happened at Duluth, which was largely my work. Do you live in Minnesota? Sectionworker (talk) 18:44, 29 May 2022 (UTC)

Sectionworker, I admire your work. As you can see from my username, I do have an interest in Minnesota things. Our friend on the Ely page seems to be trying to steamroll in changes to the article without reading or, frankly, caring. Hopefully they will learn to simmer down a bit before vigorously debating about a town they hardly know anything about! MNBug (talk) 19:11, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
