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 discussions about infoboxes and to edits adding, deleting, collapsing, or removing verifiable information from infoboxes. 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 any 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 don't restore removed comments

If a user removes a post on their page as unwelcome, please do not restore it as you did here. Nothing good can come of it. See Wikipedia:Don't restore removed comments. Thank you. Bishonen | talk 04:16, 13 December 2018 (UTC).

@Bishonen: You got it. It was immature of me and I should probably go apologize to SchroCat, if he accepts. I'm trying to become a contributor here and hope to have my place but am struggling with the amount of scrutiny and criticism I've been getting. Few editors have extended their arms to me and the only one I can think of would be Insertcleverphrasehere. He's been very helpful. The last RfC I hosted I was called a sock, a troll and a SPA among other things. I'm a gearhead and hope to update car pages on here, but will need help and guidance being a new editor and I don't think I'm going to get any.

Just gotta deal with that I guess and move forward. willydrach^talk 15:38, 13 December 2018 (UTC)

Sorry if I didn't extend my arms. I have been criticised for as little as clicking thank-you when it relates to infoboxes, so am extra careful, perhaps too much so. We have a few, very few, articles with repeated infobox discussions, and we have plenty of articles without infobox where the talk page says it's wanted. Perhaps go for those? My remedy: I write articles from scratch, and so far nobody has interfered. - Happy editing! Wikipedia is a large projects, and I am sure you'll find corners where your contributions are welcome. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:37, 13 December 2018 (UTC)

ps: If you think you need help, just ask here, - I'll watch. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:41, 13 December 2018 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt: Thank you for the kind words! I'm working on creating an article on Marlin Czajkowski, the owner and founder of Marlin Crawler and a 4x4 legend. That article will have an infobox for sure. :) willydrach^talk 22:11, 13 December 2018 (UTC)
