Stop icon This is your only warning; if you violate Misplaced Pages's biographies of living persons policy by inserting unsourced or poorly sourced defamatory content into an article or any other Misplaced Pages page again, as you did at Shaun King (activist), you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Misplaced Pages is not a platform for sharing personal opinions about people. Your personal opinion of someone's ethnicity is irrelevant and has been redacted. Continuing to post such claims may lead to sanctions. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 04:35, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits, consider creating an account for yourself so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.
This message contains important information about an administrative situation on Misplaced Pages. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.

Please carefully read this information:

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles, 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.

@NuclearWarfare: you are confusing me with your abbreviations ]. what does "non-AE" mean? -75.140.253.89 (talk) 23:35, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

Note to Self:

remove personal attacks (accusations of racism, sexism, etc, by replacing them with {{RPA}}

A description of behavior is not a personal attack. Replacing editor's concerns about your approach might get you blocked again for disruptive editing. Stevie is the man! 16:03, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
Calling someone a racist is a very strong accusation and a defamation of character. It is a deeply cutting attack, and without any strong evidence a serious violation on so many levels. -75.140.253.89 (talk) 18:32, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
No, you provided plenty of evidence for an accusation like that. Most reasonable people will indeed conclude that. Stevie is the man! 18:53, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
Superb execution of gaslighting and well-poisoning tactics. Now anyone who will try to make anything that even poses a semblance of siding with me will be branded as "unreasonable". Worse, they might be racist! Or maybe something even worse than that! Bravo. I'm impressed. You really must let me know which master you learned your persuasive debate tactics from so that I may also seek tutelage! -75.140.253.89 (talk) 21:18, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

Is it really appropriate to use RfC for discussion of a source's reliability? I've been ordered to set up an RfC on a BLP talkpage for a disputed source. I don't even know how to do this, especially how to categorize the RfC. Which category do I use?

-75.140.253.89 (talk) 00:34, 17 September 2016 (UTC)

We have a noticeboard for that. See WP:RS/N. A RfC is not required. --Majora (talk) 00:47, 17 September 2016 (UTC)
I was told to do an RfC because a previous RS/N post, in the aforementioned editor's opinion, the "RSN went nowhere", and that I need to do an RfC. Do I indeed need to do an RfC? Will I be able to move an archived RS/N discussion back into the RS/N? -75.140.253.89 (talk) 01:54, 17 September 2016 (UTC)
