General sanctions alert

[edit]
Please read this notice carefully.

You are receiving this notice because you recently edited one or more pages relating to blockchain or cryptocurrencies topics. You have not done anything wrong. We just want to alert you that "general" sanctions are authorized for certain types of edits to those pages.

A community decision has authorized the use of general sanctions for pages related to blockchain and cryptocurrencies. The details of these sanctions are described here. All pages that are broadly related to these topics are subject to a one revert per twenty-four hours restriction, as described here.

General sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimise disruption in controversial topic areas. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to these topics that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behaviour, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. An editor can only be sanctioned after the editor has been made aware that general sanctions are in effect. It is only effective if it is logged here. Before continuing to edit pages in these topic areas, please familiarise yourself with the general sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

@Retimuko: Hey... Apologies if I goofed with the attempted Ethereum edit. I thought the sources I linked to were sufficiently prominent, but I'm a noob and clearly still figuring out how everything works. NothingButAPeanut! (talk) 05:26, 24 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps I should have mentioned that the above alert is not directly related to that edit. The edit just showed your interest in cryptocurrency related articles, so I notified you of the special situation regarding this topic. There was a problem with proliferation of promotional content and spam, so the community decided to tighten up the rules, in particular regarding poor quality sources like Coindesk and other crypto-fan sites and blogs. Please use high quality independent reliable sources. Thanks. Retimuko (talk) 06:08, 24 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
