Controversial topic area alerts[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 post-1992 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.
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.

Welcome![edit]
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent contributions, such as your edit to the page James O'Keefe, have removed content without a good reason to do so. Content on Wikipedia should not be removed just because you disagree with it or because you think it's wrong, unless the claim is not verifiable. Instead, you should consider expanding the article with noteworthy and verifiable information of your own, citing reliable sources when you do so. If you'd like to experiment with the wiki's syntax, please do so in the sandbox rather than in articles. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- Contributing to Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Editing tutorial
- Picture tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Naming conventions
- Simplified Manual of Style
- Task Center – need some ideas of what kind of things need doing? Go here.
Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
- Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
- Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
- Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
- No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
- If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
- Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
- Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.
The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! — Newslinger talk 13:55, 20 February 2022 (UTC)

October 2022[edit]
Hello, I'm Beccaynr. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Lia Thomas, 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. Please review WP:DOB before adding specific dates of birth to articles. Thank you, Beccaynr (talk) 13:14, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
- The education has been cited previously. The birthday is just her birthday. No additional citation needed for bio information that's already been cited. Her page has been wrong about her age/bday since its creation. The source is personal and her facebook. Tachyon (talk) 07:49, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you for your reply - according to the WP:DOB policy, a full birth date creates a privacy issue, so it is only included under certain circumstances outlined in the policy. It cannot be added without a source, and typically requires multiple reliable sources for this detail to be added. The article instead uses a general estimate, similar to other articles, based on a reliable source. As to her education, high school is not typically included in the infobox, and the format of a wikilink does not typically include the information in parentheses (so it is written Westlake High School, not Westlake High School (Texas) in the article). Please let me know if you have questions, and this can also be discussed at the talk page of the article. Thank you, Beccaynr (talk) 15:09, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
