Please read this notice carefully.

You are receiving this notice because you recently edited one or more pages relating to blockchain or cryptocurrencies topics. You have not done anything wrong. We just want to alert you that "general" sanctions are authorized for certain types of edits to those pages.

A community decision has authorized the use of general sanctions for pages related to blockchain and cryptocurrencies. The details of these sanctions are described here. All pages that are broadly related to these topics are subject to a one revert per twenty-four hours restriction, as described here.

General sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimise disruption in controversial topic areas. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to these topics that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behaviour, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. An editor can only be sanctioned after the editor has been made aware that general sanctions are in effect. It is only effective if it is logged here. Before continuing to edit pages in these topic areas, please familiarise yourself with the general sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

Important Notice

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.

  Please do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Roosh V. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. ——SN54129 11:59, 28 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

I don't know if you'll receieve this User:Serial Number 54129 as I'm not familiar with serial number users, but please see the talk page for discussion and provide more details on why you think that my revert was anything other than in alignment with WP:BLV policy.

SENS

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 pseudoscience and fringe science. 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.

I went looking and couldn't find any reference indicating that SENS is under discretionary sanctions and it is not classified as pseudoscience or fringe science. Can you please provide a link where this page specifically is listed as under discretionary sanctions? I also didn't see any mention of discretionary sanctions on the talk page, like I do with other Discretionary Sanctioned pages.

  You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Roosh V; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. ——SN54129 15:34, 28 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

User:Serial Number 54129 I would love to discuss this on the talk page! I have started the discussion here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Roosh_V#Part_3, and you may have missed it but I linked to that discussion in the comment of my last two reverts. Unfortunately, so far none of the other parties who are issuing reverts have engaged on the talk page yet, but I'm assuming they just need time to formulate their thoughts.

No, you're just edit-warring, while incorrectly accusing others of edit-warring - David Gerard (talk) 17:08, 28 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
User:David Gerard I am quite confident that my edits both follow Wikipedia rules and Wikipedia ethos. I would love to discuss a difference of opinion on this matter over at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Roosh_V#Part_3. If we cannot reach a resolution there, and you still believe I am engaging in an edit war, then I believe the next appropriate step for you is to file a complaint at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Edit_warring. I would prefer to resolve this dispute amicably on the talk page, and I have included a suggestion for how we can move forward with your desired edit over there. Micah Zoltu (talk) 17:25, 28 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
Your last attempt to bring a complaint at said board was closed as "no violation" in 47 minutes - I suggest considering that perhaps you have not understood the term - David Gerard (talk) 17:27, 28 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

  You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Talk:Augur (software); that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Since you've already claimed to understand the 3RR rule, this is only a formality. Calton | Talk 00:58, 30 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

You have been blocked for one week from editing for persistently making disruptive edits. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.
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 ~~~~}}.

I got your email notification Micah, but I prefer to respond here. I dont use email. Now you have a week ban (this doesnt I think ban you from commenting on talk pages), so please come back and look at this in a week and take a deep breath. I hope that you keep editing, we need more editors. It is useful to go along with the flow for a while, and get into the vibe of it. You will learn that in some cases the rules that are followed are not always what is written exactly (such as us questioning the notability of content within an article). In time you will see that wikipedia is a long slow process, and its great when editors make slow improvement to it. It seems you are a quicker study of it that me (I see you have mastered the rules and terminology quickly). Please keep editing after your short ban is up. Thanks! Jtbobwaysf (talk) 04:54, 2 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

Jtbobwaysf, this editor has been blocked (not banned), and there is a big difference. This editor can only edit this very talk page for the purpose of requesting an unblock, and cannot edit anywhere else on Wikipedia until the block expires or it is lifted by another administrator. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 06:49, 2 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
Ah, thank you for the clarification. I guess that was why the editor send me a message in email. Jtbobwaysf (talk) 10:25, 2 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

As a result of discussion at ANI, you are hereby subject to a topic ban on blockchain and cryptocurrencies, broadly construed. You may appeal the ban to the administrators noticeboard although I recommend that you wait until you have established a solid track record of useful editing in other areas of the encyclopedia.

Please be aware that several editors also supported an indefinite block. Any further disruptive behavior is likely to lead to that outcome, so I encourage you to be cautious. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 18:22, 2 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

To be clear, the topic ban applies to every single page on Wikipedia, including talk pages and your own talk page. The only exception is if you are asking for clarification or formally appealing the topic ban. I have logged your topic ban at Wikipedia:General sanctions/Blockchain and cryptocurrencies.

  Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), such as at Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)#On the use of deprecated sources, please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

  1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
  2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button   located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. — Newslinger talk 01:40, 7 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

Elongate article

edit

Hello User:MicahZoltu, I'm reaching out because you're listed as a contributor to the Cryptocurrency WikiProject. I am trying to get a draft published in the Cryptocurrency domain, but it's a bit difficult as the reviewers seem to have an opposition to the topic of crypto as a whole. Meanwhile there are other topics published with significantly less notability. As you are knowledgeable on the subject, could you please look at the draft and let me know if you can assist? Thank you! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Elongate_(cryptocurrency)
