May 2020[edit]

Information icon Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Rachel Levine, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. See MOS:IDINFO for more info Ed6767 (talk) 22:57, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add or significantly change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did with this edit to Rachel Levine. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Materialscientist (talk) 23:26, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Important Notice[edit]

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 (a) GamerGate, (b) any gender-related dispute or controversy, (c) people associated with (a) or (b), all broadly construed. 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.

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.

March 2022[edit]

Information icon Hello, I'm Lard Almighty. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Chaz Bono, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! Lard Almighty (talk) 17:50, 9 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

July 2023[edit]

Information icon Please don't change the format of dates, as you did to Hera. As a general rule, if an article has evolved using predominantly one format, the dates should be left in the format they were originally written in, unless there are reasons for changing it based on strong national ties to the topic. Please also note that Wikipedia does not use ordinal suffixes (e.g., st, nd, th), articles, or leading zeros on dates.

For more information about how dates should be written on Wikipedia, please see this page.

If you have any questions about this, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Enjoy your time on Wikipedia. Thank you. NebY (talk) 18:53, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Hera. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. NebY (talk) 08:38, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

August 2023[edit]

Warning icon Please stop. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, as you did at Rachel Levine, you may be blocked from editing. DanielRigal (talk) 17:36, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I believe I adequately explained myself. GrammarPolice1234 (talk) 17:39, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Stop icon You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Rachel Levine. OK. I see that you are doubling down on the deadnaming too. One way or another this stops now! DanielRigal (talk) 17:42, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's Ms. Levine's birth name. Public figures who get legal name changes are not exempt from having their birth name in the birth box. Vandalism implies I am not basing edits on factual information, which is not the case. GrammarPolice1234 (talk) 17:44, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) Please stop re-adding Rachel Levine's pre-transition name to the article. This goes against the relevant policy on deadnames, found at WP:DEADNAME: If a living transgender or non-binary person was not notable under a former name (a deadname), it should not be included in any page (including lists, redirects, disambiguation pages, category names, templates, etc.), even in quotations, even if reliable sourcing exists. Levine was not notable prior to transition (in fact, it's the very example used to illustrate that policy page), so the deadname should not be listed.
