Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to List of Palestinians. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Your personal view doesn't trump a source; and "necessary" isn't the test. Epeefleche (talk) 03:12, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

What original research did I add? My understanding was that I deleted OR that was taking a single study (no scientist says that a single published study creates FACT) and extrapolating it into a misleading addendum of what should be a lead. CSWP1 (talk) 05:41, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.

Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Misplaced Pages, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

Query

What was your former user name, on the account to which you have lost the password? Were you subject to any editing restrictions? Thanks. RolandR (talk) 11:58, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

My editing restriction was to stay way from overly-political editors, like this. CSWP1 (talk) 12:31, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, talk pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at Talk:Juliano Mer-Khamis, is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. RolandR (talk) 01:47, 25 January 2015 (UTC)
