Important 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 recently 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.

Off wiki canvasing

Is unacceptable and really against out best practice, this [[[1] has lost you any sympathy I may have had for all, all it has done is caused a raft of childish vandalism.Slatersteven (talk) 14:53, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It is also why I've blocked this account and block anyone who shows up because of the video. Ian.thomson (talk) 15:22, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Curious what Jimmy Wales has to say about this development after getting involved in the BLP talk page in the first place...? - wolf 08:24, 15 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Friendly reminder to Thewolfchild, MarkDice, and anyone else that might pass by: Jimmy Wales opinion has no more weight than that of any other Wikipedia editor. While he may hold a special place in our hearts, his contributions should be treated like any other editors. For more info, read about what Jimbo can and cannot do here.

Yes, yes, yes... some of you guys just love to drone on and on (and on), making sure everyone knows just how meaningless Jimmy Wales contributions are. I've been here long enough to form my opinions, so don't ping me with this kind of bullshit again. - wolf 19:27, 16 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

WP:ANI#User:MarkDice Off site canvasing

I have unblocked this account. See: Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#User:MarkDice Off site canvasing where I explain why and solicit an ANI discussion about what to do if anything about the off site canvasing.

Please read off site canvasing and consider this to be a warning that further adminstrative action will be taken if you breach that policy again
