Disambiguation link notification for December 4

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Yaghnobi people, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Tajik (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 07:31, 4 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Siberian languages‎

Please note that disambiguation pages like Siberian languages‎ have guidelines that are different from articles. From the Wikipedia:Disambiguation dos and don'ts you should:

Only list articles that readers might reasonably be looking for
Use short sentence fragment descriptions, with no punctuation at the end
Use exactly one navigable link ("blue link") in each entry that mentions the title being disambiguated
Only add a "red link" if used in existing articles, and include a "blue link" to an appropriate article
Do not pipe links (unless style requires it) – keep the full title of the article visible
Do not insert external links or references - Wikipedia is not a business directory
Do not add articles to acronym or initials disambiguation pages unless the person or entity is widely known by that name (in which case it should be stated in the linked article).

Thank you. Leschnei (talk) 15:02, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Important notice regarding Coronavirus disease 2019

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.

Please carefully read this information:

A community discussion has authorised the use of general sanctions for pages related to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
The specific details of these sanctions are described here.

Broadly, 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 he or she has been made aware that general sanctions are in effect. This notification is meant to inform you that sanctions are authorised in these topic areas, which you have been editing. 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.

Content dispute at Coronavirus disease 2019

Hi Gogolplex,

the page Coronavirus disease 2019 has been protected to prevent further edit warring on a semi-protected page, between users whose experience should be high enough not to engage in such behavior. Please be more careful when the protection expires.

Thanks and best regards,
~ ToBeFree (talk) 19:04, 23 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

ToBeFree, I do not think that I had edit warred. There haven't happened a constant override or a vioalation of 3 revert rule, at least by myself.--Gogolplex (talk) 07:47, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hm. There was an edit war and you had been reverting the same user and the same edit twice. Not all edit wars are done by just two participants, but I'd say you have pretty clearly been one of them. While not mandatory, WP:BRD explains a better approach. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 13:10, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

ToBeFree, I had reverted first time as there were to be no consensus on the talk page and other user decided to act bold. I had reverted it again, after I've added supplementary information to discussion on the talk page. After that another user reverted my second reversion without adding any supplemental arguments on the talk page. I have not reverted him/her and asked him to present arguments at the talk page. This is not a BRD violation (which is just a non-policy, supplementary page for WP:Consensus as it claims, which discourages users to do major changes without consensus)

Apart from all of these reasons, my total number of reverts were only 2, and WP:EW clearly states that 3 revert rule should be violated for edit warring. It is unfair and plain wrong to impute me as an edit warrer... --Gogolplex (talk) 14:01, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Just like my protection, which I undid due to justified concerns, making two reverts on that page is a risky and probably bad idea. The three-revert rule is a bright line for quick blocking, but edit warring is not limited to violations of the three revert rule – especially not if more than two editors join the reverting. Imagine ten users doing one revert each: that's edit warring too. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 15:43, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A kitten for you!

Important Notice

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 the intersection of race/ethnicity and human abilities and behaviour. 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.
