You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template. From your user page Considering that my edit spoke of the fact that Tullian has publicly debated other with regards to his views, and the links I referenced go DIRECTLY to those debates, there should not be an issue. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BaptistBolt (talk • contribs) 18:51, 13 May 2013 (UTC) WP:Ban policy - reverted your BOLD change Hi; I think that your BOLDly proposed change, while supported (I think) by a lot of the community, is a step further than any existing consensus that may be out there. There has been significant support for proxy editing with those restrictions, under limited circumstances. I reverted your change to the policy. That said, it's entirely possible that a new consensus can be gathered to change the wording and allowed behavior, and I invite you to start a consensus discussion for the policy change on the appropriate venue(s). I will certainly respect any such consensus for a change. Thanks. Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 23:05, 14 March 2014 (UTC) Tech News: 2014-12 Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community.

You have a little watched LGBT BLP on your watch list. You see a BLP violation that is clear, unambiguous, and vile. You contact an admin to say "Hey, this may need to be taken care of". That section prevents someone who has a battleground attitude with you from turning both you and the admin in for a ban violation and proxying for a banned user. I can't post this to the talk page due it being semi-protected but that clause is there for a reason. Its to prevent the petty battleground crap from flying between wikilawyers. Others abusing it is just like any other policy on the site, it happens. 129.9.104.10 (talk) 17:51, 25 March 2014 (UTC) Thanks for posting that. I had an account long ago (5 years I think...) and became disillusioned with editing because of all the drama. It shouldn't be this hard to collect knowledge in a civil manner. I poke in occasionally to read articles, fix a typo here and there, and see what drama has been cooked up. And in the above paragraph, prevent should be taken to mean "avoid". No policy prevents anything as ANI clearly indicates over 800+ archive pages). 129.9.104.12 (talk) 14:00, 26 March 2014 (UTC) Tech News: 2014-14 Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community.

Discretionary sanctions can be used against an editor who repeatedly or seriously fails to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, satisfy any standard of behavior, or follow any normal editorial process. If you inappropriately edit pages relating to this topic, you may be placed under sanctions, which can include blocks, a revert limitation, or an article ban. The Committee's full decision can be read at the "Final decision" section of the decision page. Please familiarise yourself with the information page at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions, with the appropriate sections of Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Procedures, and with the case decision page before making any further edits to the pages in question. This notice is given by an uninvolved administrator and will be logged on the case decision, pursuant to the conditions of the Arbitration Committee's discretionary sanctions system. I see that your topic ban in this area expired on Tuesday. You then removed a section from the MOS, a section that had consensus, and then you violated your voluntary restriction of 0RR. Do not change the MoS language around gender without a new discussion reaching consensus to do so. -- JHunterJ (talk) 13:22, 12 April 2014 (UTC)
