==Notice: sanctions apply to Gamergate controversy topics==

Please read this notification carefully:
A community discussion has authorised the use of general sanctions for pages related to the Gamergate controversy.
The details of these sanctions are 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 Misplaced Pages, 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.

This message is informational only and does not imply misconduct regarding your contributions to date. —Ryūlóng (琉竜) 22:46, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

Editing your comments?

I'm not sure I see what you're referring to on the evidence page when you say I edited your comments. I did not intentionally change anything in your comments and I don't actually see what the change was supposed to do or why I would make it. It was most likely just something that got fouled up as I was typing in my commentary somehow. In any case it wasn't purposeful and I apologize if you found it alarming. ReynTime (talk) 20:53, 1 December 2014 (UTC)

@ReynTime: I highly doubt it wasn't intentional to edit a comment of mine 800 lines up the page from the new comment you added. The fact that you made the change and then removed it 18 minutes later tells me it was more than just a simple editing error (if that were even possible). I doubt you don't know what you're doing since you seemed to know how policies here work on your first day of editing. If you are truly a week old account of a new editor, perhaps you should take time doing other activities to familiarize yourself with wikipedia decorum before immediately engaging in an arbitration case just because you hold a strong opinion about it. Since you did revert the change yourself, even if i think the original edit was done purposefully, i'll accept your apology and strike the link to the edit from my evidence.

Re:Workshop

Am I not allowed to point out to someone that there are formatting errors on an article that if I were to actually edit there'd be a collective aneurism on Reddit?—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 03:51, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

@Ryulong: Admittedly none of the suggestions were content related. I posted that more for the benefit of the editor I was responding to than as an accusation of any wrongdoing, because of his statement that you had removed yourself from the article. If you had made formatting suggestions to almost any editor i'm sure they wouldn't have ignored them and would have taken action on fixing them. I appreciate you taking this concern to my talk page and not on the workshop, and i'm going to add a clarification to my statement that I don't find fault with any of the suggestions you made. Weedwacker (talk) 04:05, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

These suggestions keep getting brought up as some sort of wrongdoing though (at least the other times Ive seen the complaints). I look at a page, I see a minor error like the ones I pointed out, and like I can't touch the page because KiA will have a field day, even if it's fixing Post''' to Post'' or whatever else I found. It's inane.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 04:08, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

I haven't seen mention of the suggestions before coming across them on the talk page while i was formulating my post to the workshop. I can understand the reaction that would happen if you edited the page though, and I think it's a good idea that you did not make the changes yourself as you're probably right in your assumption of how people will react. I know i'm probably one of the last people you'd want to hear this from, but if you're trying to avoid a reaction you should refrain from making even minor edits to correct formatting and surely other editors will find them. Weedwacker (talk) 04:21, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

Last I checked the error with the ''Washington Post''' thing was still up, as was that duplicated reference. But no one really gives a shit about the formatting as much as they do about what it says about them.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 05:43, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

ANI

I've redacted our conversation, removed the link to Reddit (even though it's deleted now), and closed the thread. I don't think it's a major issue, but I see your point. Let me know if there's anything I've forgotten. Black Kite (talk) 23:24, 31 December 2014 (UTC)

@Black Kite: I still have some issue with the comment you removed the link from, but since it's no longer linking to anything specifically it's not really in violation of anything. Thank you for doing this and understanding where I was coming from. Weedwacker (talk) 23:31, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
