Revision as of 20:23, 24 February 2011 by Sandstein(talk | contribs)(new sanction per http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Sandstein&oldid=415744489#Mass_killings_sanction)
No editor may make edits to the article unless such edits are either
minor edits as described at WP:Minor edit and marked as minor,
reverts of obvious vandalism or an obvious WP:BLP violation,
or have consensus as described below, and the edit summary contains a link to the talk page discussion establishing that consensus.
Procedural details
The rules at WP:BAN#Exceptions to limited bans apply to reverts of vandalism or BLP violations. (For clarity's sake, the removal or addition of cleanup tags, for any reason, are neither minor edits nor vandalism.)
For the purpose of this sanction, an edit may only be deemed to have consensus if the following minimum procedural requirements are met:
It has been proposed on the talk page, in a dedicated section or subsection, for at least 72 hours.
In that section, the proposal has been either unopposed or at least four registered editors (including the proposer) have commented about the proposal.
The proposal does not substantially duplicate a previous proposal that failed to achieve consensus, or seek to undo a previous change that did achieve consensus, if that previous proposal or change was made less than a month before the new proposal.
The editor who makes an edit is responsible that the edit has consensus as outlined above. To prevent the risk of being sanctioned in the event that an administrator finds that the edit did not have consensus, any editor may ask on a community forum for an uninvolved administrator to determine whether or not consensus exists for the proposal. Such determinations are binding for the purpose of this sanction, but do not prevent consensus from changing by way of a new proposal. Administrators may ask for continued discussion if they believe that this would help consensus-finding, and they may weigh the arguments advanced in the light of applicable Wikipedia policies and guidelines in order to determine consensus or the lack thereof.
Editors who violate this editing restriction may be sanctioned with escalating blocks or other discretionary sanctions per WP:DIGWUREN#Discretionary sanctions.
