Notification of discretionary sanctions: homeopathy and pseudoscience

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding pseudoscience and fringe science, 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.

Please be aware that articles related to the topic of homeopathy are specifically included in the scope of the 'fringe science' arbitration decision. TenOfAllTrades(talk) 14:38, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

I haven't yet broken the rules with respect to the homeopathy article, but I will be careful!—Khabboos (talk) 15:05, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

Attempts at off-Wiki co-ordination and what consensus is not

Khabboos, in many recent occasions and different locations, you have made edits describing yourself as a "sympathizer" with certain editors: and direct those editors to your User Talk, where you have a prominent notice to other editors how to contact you via e-mail. Of particular interest is this consecutive sequence of your edits, where you 1) Leave a public notice at Talk:Homeopathy directing editors to your User Talk page, and then 2) create a public notice on your User Talk directing editors to email you privately.

You have also left a request to have an editor enable email so that you can deliver "urgent advice" off-Wiki via e-mail: .

It raises significant concern as to what kind of urgent advice regarding Misplaced Pages editing you need to deliver privately off-Wiki via e-mail which could not simply be posted to the editor's User Talk.

On a closely related topic, you appear to misunderstand WP:CONSENSUS. Consensus is not the result of a vote or the marshalling of 'sympathizers' but rather the best-made and best-supported arguments based in reliable sourcing and Misplaced Pages policy. It should not matter if you have 10 editors who are 'sympathizers' all arguing for an edit if the argument for that edit is not based in reliable sourcing and Misplaced Pages content guidelines.

Khabboos, based on the above, this is a final warning to you regarding your editing in the WP:ARBPS pseudoscience and fringe science topic area. You have already received the initial WP:ARBPS notification from administrator TenOfAllTrades above here. Please ensure your editing behavior in this area complies with Misplaced Pages editing rules, otherwise you may be subject to discretionary sanctions. Thank you. Zad68 13:28, 8 July 2014 (UTC)
