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.

Your "typo" edit was a clear misrepresentation of a source
[edit]You changed "A reported 22,000 people demonstrated, less than half of the number of attendees predicted by the rally's organizers." to " Well over 50,000 people demonstrated, with some crowd estimates as high as 80,000!" The original text, which I've reinstated, is what the source says. It contradicts your claim. And what's with the exclamation mark? Wikipedia isn't a tabloid.
I've alerted you now to relevant discretionary sanctions. Do something like that again and you can be banned from the topic area. I don't like welcoming new accounts this way, but it is pretty cut and dried that you misrepresented the source - with not just one, but two edits. Doug Weller talk 19:22, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
