Wikipedia:General sanctions/Units in the United Kingdom

Community discussion

A community discussion at the administrators' noticeboard has authorised the use of general sanctions to curtail disruption related to systems of measurement in the context of the United Kingdom. 16:36, 5 November 2014 (UTC)

Motion

A motion to revoke authorisation for this sanctions regime was filed at the administrators' noticeboard on 17 April 2020. The motion did not gain community consensus. 09:47, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

Remedies

Sanctions imposed cannot be undone by another administrator without approval of the sanctioning administrator or an appeal at the administrators' noticeboard. Prior to being sanctioned, editors must be notified of these sanctions with the {{subst:Gs/alert|uku}} template. Use the {{subst:Community sanction}} template when imposing sanctions. For blocks, use {{subst:Uw-csblock}}.

In articles that have strong ties solely to the United Kingdom, as opposed to other English-speaking countries:

• Any editor who systematically changes values from one system of measurement to another without clear consensus, who edit-wars over such a change, who disrupts talk page discussions or normal Wikipedia processes pertaining to units in UK-related articles, who engages in forum-shopping, or who otherwise disruptively edits may be sanctioned by an uninvolved administrator.
• Sanctions can be imposed if, after being notified of the existence of these sanctions, an editor repeatedly or seriously fails to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behaviour, or normal editorial processes. Sanctions imposed may include blocks of up to one year in length, bans from editing any page or set of pages, bans on any editing related to the topic or its closely related topics, restrictions on reverts or other specified behaviours, or any other measures that the imposing administrator believes are reasonably necessary to ensure the smooth functioning of the project. Notifications must be logged at the general sanctions page to be effective.
• Sanctions may only be appealed at the administrators' noticeboard.

Log of notifications

Manually logging notifications is no longer required when using {{subst:Gs/alert|uku}}. This section is retained for historical purposes.

Editors who have been notified of the existence of these sanctions should be logged here, along with a diff of the notification. For consistency, the template {{subst:Gs/UKU notification}} must be used. Any editor can issue a notification. The appropriate procedure for notifying editors of the existence of these sanctions is described here. 2014 notifications Archon 2488 (talk · contribs) – notified by RGloucester — ☎ 23:50, 5 November 2014 (UTC) Boson (talk · contribs) – notified by RGloucester — ☎ 23:50, 5 November 2014 (UTC) Kahastok (talk · contribs) – notified by RGloucester — ☎ 23:50, 5 November 2014 (UTC) Wee Curry Monster (talk · contribs) – notified by RGloucester — ☎ 23:50, 5 November 2014 (UTC) RGloucester (talk · contribs) – notified by RGloucester — ☎ 23:50, 5 November 2014 (UTC) Michael Glass (talk · contribs) – notified by RGloucester — ☎ 00:37, 7 November 2014 (UTC) 94.196.212.131 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) – notified by RGloucester — ☎ 21:22, 7 November 2014 (UTC) 94.196.208.202 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) - notified by Lesser Cartographies (talk) 04:34, 14 November 2014 (UTC) 94.196.236.140 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) - notified by Lesser Cartographies (talk) 04:38, 14 November 2014 (UTC) Lesser Cartographies (talk · contribs) - self notified.
