Disambiguation link notification for April 22

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Marion Delgado, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page AP. 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.

Discretionary sanctions alert - American politics

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 post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people, 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.

I am lost as to how deleting uncited editorializing and providing fully cited information earns a sanction. SteveJEsposito ( talk) 22:55, 15 October 2015 (UTC) reply

Beg pardon? I didn't add blank categories - I added Category:Activists from California, but that's it. There were two blank lines that AutoWikiBrowser removed as an automatic formatting decision, but that's it. Unless you're seeing something I'm not? -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?
