This message contains important information about an administrative situation on Wikipedia. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.

Please carefully read this information:

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding all edits about, and all pages related to, (a) GamerGate, (b) any gender-related dispute or controversy, (c) people associated with (a) or (b), all broadly construed, 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 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.

Hi, Greenrd,

I know you meant well, but the Manual of Style section on linking advises "As much as possible, avoid linking from within quotes, which may clutter the quotation, violate the principle of leaving quotations unchanged, and mislead or confuse the reader". You are not the first editor to try that on a quotation in the article I just edited. In general, keep up the good work. See you on the wiki. -- WeijiBaikeBianji ( talk, how I edit) 21:45, 30 May 2015 (UTC) reply

   Thanks for responding to me at Talk:Treating#Split. I've replied there, urging you to go for it.

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Gitter you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Anarchyte -- Anarchyte ( talk) 04:01, 26 June 2015 (UTC) reply

The article Gitter you nominated as a good article has failed ; see Talk:Gitter for reasons why the nomination failed. If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of the article.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Comparison of Scrum software, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Jira. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

New Year Greetings, the first bit of 2017; I must make mention of your hurried reversion of the contribution to cybercrime, in that you used quotation marks implying no documented evidence which is false. The ( Ingenico) payment gateway software provides an automated transaction confirmation, independent of the merchant, upon capture of funds (PAID, in other other words). I retain such here in HIOGO, banned, defamed, smeared, and kicked while down by tag-teamsters at that time, banned user Hyogo. Thank you, and all the best to come. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 222.147.168.200 ( talk) 09:17, 9 January 2017 (UTC) reply

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Slate Star Codex is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Slate Star Codex until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Exemplo347 ( talk) 09:58, 19 March 2017 (UTC) reply

Thanks for uploading File:Slate Star Codex Screenshot.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -- B-bot ( talk) 17:44, 30 March 2017 (UTC) reply

Hi there,

The Anti-Harassment Tools team plans to start develop of a new feature to allow users to restrict emails from new accounts. This feature will allow an individual user to stop harassing emails from coming through the Special:EmailUser system from abusive sockpuppeting accounts.

We’re inviting you to join the discussion because you voted or commented in the 2016 Community Wishlist discussion or IdeaLab discussion about letting users restrict who can send them email.

You can leave comments on this discussion page or send an email to the Anti-Harassment Tools team.

It is important to hear from a broad range of people who are interested in the design of the tool, so we hope you join the discussion.
