Notice of general sanctions
Please read this notification carefully, it contains important information about an administrative situation on Wikipedia. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.
A community decision has authorised the use of general sanctions for pages related to the Syrian Civil War and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. The details of these sanctions are described here. All pages that are broadly related to these topics are subject to a one revert per twenty-four hours restriction, as described here.
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.
Thanks
Thanks for your edits on Northern Raqqa offensive (November 2016–present). Feel free to join us and chat with us on the article's talk page :) --Yug (talk) 12:26, 2 January 2017 (UTC)
Thanks for all your additions to the 2017 Fort Lauderdale airport shooting article and staying on top of the issue!
I know it's a pain, but if you wouldn't mind adding comments to the edit summary, that would help. Otherwise, people watching the page need to look to the history to see what was done. The description of what you're doing doesn't have to be long (e.g., "more about the gun", "about the gun in Alaska", etc.)
Thanks!—CaroleHenson (talk) 22:42, 7 January 2017 (UTC)
- Can't do it everywhere especially when it's a minor edit or I am merely adding information. I do try to mention summaries when changing or removing and when people might have a problem with my edit. MonsterHunter32 (talk) 22:45, 7 January 2017 (UTC)
- I just saw your next edit had a nice, descriptive summary (likely while I was typing this).
- You should have a description for each edit. For instance, the confusion that was caused when content was deleted without explanation that resulted in several edits to square it away. If you don't think that's possible, others can catch the news as it comes along. No worries, the major points will get in there.—CaroleHenson (talk) 22:49, 7 January 2017 (UTC)
- In this case, which I reverted so we can have a history of the types of edits, you just needed to say "copy edit".—CaroleHenson (talk) 22:52, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

- Thanks for your edit on Fort Lauderable, but Herald reference judicial watch (the link in question http://www.judicialwatch.org/blog/2017/01/airport-shooter-converted-islam-identified-aashiq-hammad-years-joining-army/ ) and I think it would benefit to have the Primary source (regardless it's position on the subject) as it have key information which is only hinted on Herald and others 5.144.58.225 (talk) 21:45, 11 January 2017 (UTC)
- As you're not registered, I'll make my statement again here in case your IP address has shifted and if you cannot read it on the talk page of your IP address. Sorry but neither Judicial Watch is needed, nor linking it will make any real difference. The rules however clearly indicate that we cannot use non-neutral and unreliable sources and Judicial Watch doesn't fulfill the portion because it seems exclusively dedicated to just clinging on to one side of the story that too for apparently political ends. We solely go by Wikipedia's rules of neutrality and reliability. Miami Herald however doesn't cling on to any one side of the story and reported from the claims made by some conservative sites as well as stated about the findings of FBI law enforcement aencies. That's why I used it because it fulfilled all the rules. The only reason I added Judicial Watch's name is because its claim received notability and investigators cross-checked whether it was true. And most of all the article and investigation isn't for alleging who did what etc by Judicial Watch or anyone else, we solely consider the details dug up by the police and federal investigators.
