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

I’m not sure why my comment resulted in a sanction. I skimmed through the arbitration committee’s decision and didn’t see my username.

Any chance you can reconsider the sanction? Chimmeytop (talk) 00:39, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

You did not do anything wrong and no sanction has been applied. This is a standard notice to alert you to the existence of discretionary sanctions covering articles related to post-1932 politics of the United States. The notice may be given to anyone who shows interest in that topic area, and is done to satisfy the awareness criteria that must be met prior to an administrator imposing sanctions should the need arise. Every other editor in the discussion you've participated in has been given this notice, including me. Please re-read the message carefully. The beginning of the message states that it is not meant to imply there have been any issues with your contributions. I'm sorry if this alarmed you. — Tartan357  ^(Talk) 03:44, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
