DS Alert

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.

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 week for violations of Wikipedia's biographies of living persons policy. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Drmies (talk) 22:40, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

• Blocked for these edits: [1], [2], [3], [4]. There may be more. Drmies (talk) 22:47, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
• Care to elaborate? ProudOfYourMan (talk) 22:46, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
  • That's called participating in a discussion about a proposed edit. How could you possibly think those are legitimate ban-worthy statements???ProudOfYourMan (talk) 22:49, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
    • You were defaming a dead person. How is that hard for you to grasp?--Jorm (talk) 22:50, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
      • A recently dead person, whom you smeared in various comments, blaming him for his own killing, making broad statements of a moral quality about his character, etc. Now, you have a choice: you can study the BLP, if you need to, to figure out precisely why you were blocked, and I will post another template below, outlining discretionary sanctions for BLP material. And then, when this block is over, you can return to editing, adhering to our policies. Or you can return and continue the same behavior, in which case you are likely to find yourself banned from the topic, from editing BLPs altogether, from editing AP2 articles altogether, or any combination thereof--or blocked indefinitely.

      • Oh, I edit-conflicted with you, and let's pretend that you didn't write what you just wrote, or this block might be extended. You cannot say those kinds of things. Drmies (talk) 22:54, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
• Jorm, as I suspected it's just another sock--one of these people coming to Wikipedia to, ahem, defend the white race from...facts, I guess. They did something similar on a George Floyd-related page; it's sad. Berean Hunter, I ran into this range the other day, but there's so many of them. Do you have a tag ready, and will you adjust the block as you see fit? EvergreenFir, PhilKnight, Acroterion, Ponyo, this is a troll also known as User talk:SJMccarthy. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 23:03, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
• Cullen328, I apologize for reverting you, but I could not let that BLP violation stand. The editor (well, a longterm right-wing troll) is either incapable of understanding the BLP, or they are willfully smearing an African-American victim. I revoked talk page access; they don't need it. We certainly don't need it. Drmies (talk) 23:05, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
  • Block extended to indef and between the accounts noted at User talk:SJMccarthy.-- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 23:27, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
