This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in Scientology. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Freezone Scientology page[edit]

Hello -.+ThAYYta+.-!

I was trying to reply to your name-change proposal on the Free Zone (Scientology) talk page. For some reason I had issues replying there (might have to do with protections in place since I just edited that article significantly), so I'll give my two cents here.

I agree that "Free Zone" is outdated and is generally an etic term. However, most Wikipedia articles that I have edited seem to go on what secondary and tertiary sources use to describe the subject of the article. The most recent (and maybe only) monograph on the subject is Aled Thomas's Free Zone Scientology: Contesting the Boundaries of a New Religion (London: Bloomsbury, 2021), which uses the etic stylization in the title and text. That being said, I don't think a lot of people will be heartbroken over changing it from "Free Zone (Scientology)" to "Freezone Scientology" or the like. Let me know what you think! --Jacquesparker0 (talk) 08:01, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Minor-edit marker[edit]

Hi -.+ThAYYta+.-! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Free Zone (Scientology) that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.
