Following an
ANI discussion,
Community article probation on all articles about American presidential and vice-presidential candidates and their campaigns, broadly construed, which will expire 3 months from their imposition. Editors making disruptive edits may be banned by any
uninvolved administrator from articles on probation and related articles or project pages. Editors of such articles should be especially mindful of content policies, such as
WP:NPOV, and interaction policies, such as
WP:CIVIL,
WP:NPA,
WP:3RR, and
WP:POINT.
Uninvolved administrators can independently impose sanctions, including escalating blocks or topic bans of up to three months, provided the individual has been notified of the terms of this scheme and possible sanctions (The template {{subst:Uw-probation|Article|Probation terms page}} can be used for ease) Indefinite topic bans can be proposed at
WP:AN or at ANI as the result of discussion of specific incident.
All sanctions imposed under this provision are to be logged below and may be appealed to the imposing administrator, the appropriate administrators' noticeboard, or the Arbitration Committee.
