@taseenb @MaxBlumenthal As someone who has edited extensively in areas of Wikipedia under discretionary sanctions since 2006, let me say that your take is bullshit.

@taseenb @MaxBlumenthal Discretionary sanctions are about how you edit (do you engage in edit wars, act uncivilly, include sources, and engage in dialogue), not about content.
-
@taseenb @MaxBlumenthal The vast array of post-1932 US politics articles on @Wikipedia include numerous articles with information highly critical of US foreign policy, ideally in a way that gets the facts right and attributes opinions to those who hold them.

@taseenb @MaxBlumenthal @Wikipedia The screenshotted warning is a template sent freely to anyone making edits in an area of Wikipedia prone to edit wars. It amounts to handing over a manual of traffic rules upon entry to a highly trafficked city.

@taseenb @MaxBlumenthal @Wikipedia While it may feel natural to feel intimidated upon receiving such a packet, the right and effective response is to learn the rules and write fair articles citing compelling evidence on the topics.
