[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-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.

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.

Hey! I was actually about to ask you about the page and give you some context. I am a new user, and was tasked with the daunting task of getting accurate information on the page we had discussed on before. I do a lot of programming and coding, so, though I don't have much connection or concern with the topic area, I have the coding mindset and love myself a good puzzle, especially when it seems to be a real mess, so I hope I can help make the page accurate. If the above warning would indicate any breaking of Wikipedia policy, I would ask that they are cited. DartKitten (talk) 04:25, 10 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
You haven't broken any rules or policies, so no fears! However, you are editing in a topic area that is fraught with controversy and problems. Thus, there exist things called "Discretionary Sanctions" - basically read that as "absolutely zero bad behavior will be tolerated here". It is required that you are notified of this. It means exactly what it says: you should be aware of the speed limit here.
That said, you just said something that is concerning to me: "I am a new user, and was tasked with the daunting task of getting accurate information on the page we had discussed on before". This implies that you may have a Conflict of Interest. If you are editing on behalf of an organization or are being paid to do so, you must declare it.
Are you editing at the request of someone or an organization? Are you being paid for this?--Jorm (talk) 04:53, 10 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
No association with any organization involvement, I just have a friend who suggested I take a look at it, a challenge. DartKitten (talk) 05:00, 10 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
To clarify, neither of us have any association with this group or any associated groups.
