Please do not add or change content, as you did at James Comey, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. EvergreenFir (talk) 13:55, 7 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This message contains important information about an administrative situation on Wikipedia. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.

Please carefully read this information:

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding all edits about, and all pages related to post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.

Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you that sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

Please be aware there's an active remedy on James Comey limiting reverts to 1 per 24 hours. EvergreenFir (talk) 13:58, 7 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Notice of topic ban

Notice that you are now subject to an arbitration enforcement sanction

The following sanction now applies to you:

You are topic banned from post-1932 American politics, broadly construed

You have been sanctioned for violation of 1RR after repeated notices.

This sanction is imposed in my capacity as an uninvolved administrator under the authority of the Arbitration Committee's decision at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/American politics 2#Final decision and, if applicable, the contentious topics procedure. This sanction has been recorded in the log of sanctions. If the sanction includes a ban, please read the banning policy to ensure you understand what this means. If you do not comply with this sanction, you may be blocked for an extended period, by way of enforcement of this sanction—and you may also be made subject to further sanctions.

You may appeal this sanction using the process described here. I recommend that you use the arbitration enforcement appeals template if you wish to submit an appeal to the arbitration enforcement noticeboard. You may also appeal directly to me (on my talk page), before or instead of appealing to the noticeboard. Even if you appeal this sanction, you remain bound by it until you are notified by an uninvolved administrator that the appeal has been successful. You are also free to contact me on my talk page if anything above is unclear to you. ~~~~

Seraphimblade please check the most recent edits I made to the articles for Peter Strzok, James Comey, and Dismissal of James Comey. I added reliable sources for any of the information I added or edited. Can you please explain why you banned me when I was simply trying to contribute clearly accurate RS data into articles to make them more objective (many articles which cover current political issues suffer from omission bias). If you look at what transpired several users swooped in to remove the accurately and reliable sourced data (usually within a few hours). I'm not sure why but it seems based on their edit histories that these users are strong opponents of Donald Trump. Can you please help me understand why I was banned and the other users who edit-warred and removed the RS data that I added were not? Thank you. Neilen (talk) 02:50, 9 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Seraphimblade I see what you're saying but the issue I have is that when users who have a clear and blatant anti-Trump POV (don't take my word for it - just read their own statements and read through their edits) swoop in and remove RS and NPOV material it should be pretty clear what's going on. Why did you topic ban me from editing post 1932 political articles, but not these clearly biased users who seem to want to censor Wikipedia? That is what seems very unfair to me. I now understand how strictly enforced the 1RR rules are for these specific articles and promise to not violate them in the future. I'm not asking you to unblock me from the 24 hour ban (unless you want to) but to ban me from editing on any post 1932 political articles seems extremely harsh and unfair (especially since this is the first time I'm encountering this 1RR issue and just started contributing to Wikipedia two months ago). I'm asking for this unfair ban to please be lifted. In the future if I happen to disobey the 1RR rules for those articles you can ban me permanently. All of my edits were made in good faith. I disobeyed the 1RR rules because I was upset about what appears to be blatant bias going on with users on these articles but I now understand how the rules are enforced.

To enforce an arbitration decision you have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours. You are welcome to edit once the block expires; however, please note that the repetition of similar behavior may result in a longer block or other sanctions.

If you believe this block is unjustified, please read the guide to appealing blocks (specifically this section) before appealing. Place the following on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Please copy my appeal to the [[WP:AE|arbitration enforcement noticeboard]] or [[WP:AN|administrators' noticeboard]]. Your reason here OR place the reason below this template. ~~~~}}. If you intend to appeal on the arbitration enforcement noticeboard I suggest you use the arbitration enforcement appeals template on your talk page so it can be copied over easily. You may also appeal directly to me (by email), before or instead of appealing on your talk page. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 02:08, 9 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Reminder to administrators: In May 2014, ArbCom adopted the following procedure instructing administrators regarding Arbitration Enforcement blocks: "No administrator may modify a sanction placed by another administrator without: (1) the explicit prior affirmative consent of the enforcing administrator; or (2) prior affirmative agreement for the modification at (a) AE or (b) AN or (c) ARCA (see "Important notes" [in the procedure]). Administrators modifying sanctions out of process may at the discretion of the committee be desysopped."

Please check the most recent edits I made to the articles for Peter Strzok, James Comey, and Dismissal of James Comey. I added reliable sources for any of the information I added or edited. Can you please explain why you banned me when I was simply trying to contribute clearly accurate RS data into articles to make them more objective (many articles which cover current political issues suffer from omission bias).

Can you please help me understand why I was banned and the other users who edit-warred and removed the RS data that I added were not? Thank you.

You were clearly advised that the articles were under a one revert per 24 hour restriction. You repeatedly violated that restriction even before the matter was at AE, and then proceeded to continue the edit war even while it was there. If several other editors have reverted you, that means it's time to head to the talk page, not carry on making the disputed edit. Maybe you can gain some experience editing in less contentious areas first, but you clearly can't edit in such a sensitive area without causing quite a lot of disruption. Do some editing elsewhere for a while, and maybe after you've gained some experience we can see about giving you another go, but please be aware that articles go under restrictions such as 1RR for a very good reason and it is strictly enforced.

Response to MelanieN

MelanieN made numerous false claims about me on another user talk page. Just wanted to clear up some things here:

1. all of the edits I made were reliably sourced. If one or two were not, the information was still entirely factual and was sourced from another RS somewhere else in the article. 2. the edits were only "disruptive" because other users kept removing the reliably sourced and NPOV edits I was trying to contribute to the article (all in good faith but apparently none of that matters to users like you) so I was obviously upset and was just trying to re-add the accurate data 3. I addressed an appeal to a user named NeilN because I mistakenly thought he/she was in charge of the entry concerning me on the Arbitration Requests page because the entry directly above mine for user VendixDM was being handled by NeilN 4. Yes my username is similar to NeilN but it's just a strange coincidence. I chose my username because it is an anagram of Eileen (minus one E). 5. you say that I edit with a "POV pro-Trump" but of course you never call out or criticize all of the editors who clearly edit with an anti-Trump bias, somehow that's OK with you and other admins here...I wonder why that is?
