Fair warning
[edit]This is fair warning: if you call me a vandal again, I will take you to the noticeboards for sanctioning by administrators. I haven't been here for 12 years and made 220,000+ edits to be called a vandal by a rank newbie with 19 edits. Go read WP:Vandalism before you start throwing around the word, as you did just now in your ignorance. Recognize that, basically, you don't know shit about Wikipedia, and you'd be better off looking around and learning from other editors rather than assuming that you know what's what - because you don't. Removing sourced material, for instance, is perfectly legitimate if the sources are unreliable, if the sources don't support the claims made, of if they aren't relevant to the subject matter; it's not "vandalism" and it's not ipso facto a bad thing.
If you want a long editing life here, cool your jets, assume good faith of other editors, read and learn the policies and standards we follow, and don't be a WP:DICK. Also, regarding edit waring - being "right" is not a justification.
- Regarding your edit summary: "Vandal attempting to warn me. LOL" [1], see [2] and give me a buzz when you've reached my neighborhood. Beyond My Ken (talk) 01:05, 18 February 2018 (UTC)
Discretionary sanctions alert
[edit]
Please carefully read this information:
The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding Eastern Europe, 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.Beyond My Ken (talk) 04:22, 18 February 2018 (UTC)
- Please note that these Discretionary Sactions (which were imposed here) define "Eastern Europe" broadly, so an explanation such as "X country is in Central Europe and not Eastern Europe" is not likely to be an acceptable excuse to avoid discretionary sanctions being imposed for misbehavior.
