Thanks for your contribution to Zay people. Although you properly cited your source, this is probably too much text to use as a single direct quote - see Wikipedia:Copy-paste ("Extensive quotation of copyrighted text is prohibited even if correctly cited"). I have re-written the text so that it is not a verbatim copy of the source. Thank you, -- Gyrofrog (talk) 16:18, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Marquis de Faux. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Breitbart News without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Discretionary sanctions alert

This message contains important information about an administrative situation on Wikipedia. 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 all edits about, and all pages related to post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people, 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 Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you that 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 note that I have placed Breitbart News under a 1RR and other sanctions - please see the template at Talk:Breitbart News for more information. Ks0stm ^{(T•C•G•E)} 05:35, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
