Dereck Stewart - Reply[edit]

Essential the position of head of the Tennessee Highway Patrol is not a notable position. It would appear that the only justification for notability being provided is that he is the first African-American appointed to the position however that it is not necessarily a notable achievement in itself. There needs to be some rationale for notability and as it stands I just can't see it. Dan arndt (talk) 04:16, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies for the delayed response. If there was additional independent references apart from the DNJ article which highlighted the fact that he was first African-American appointed to the position that might support your argument. Aside from that I still feel that the head of the Tennessee Highway Patrol is not a notable position. Dan arndt (talk) 03:30, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Wikilinking countries[edit]

Hey, FYI: countries should generally not be wikilinked. (You wikilinked the US at Coinage Act of 1965). Thanks, MrClog (talk) 21:10, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

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.
