To enforce an arbitration decision, you have been blocked from editing Wikipedia for a period of 31 hours. You are welcome to edit once the block expires; however, please note that the repetition of similar behavior may result in a longer block or other sanctions. If you believe this block is unjustified, please read the guide to appealing blocks (specifically this section) before appealing. Place the following on your talk page:. If you intend to appeal on the arbitration enforcement noticeboard, I suggest you use the arbitration enforcement appeals template on your talk page so it can be copied over easily. You may also appeal directly to me (by email), before or instead of appealing on your talk page. Doug Weller talk 14:40, 8 February 2024 (UTC)  Reminder to administrators: In May 2014, ArbCom adopted the following procedure instructing administrators regarding Arbitration Enforcement blocks: "No administrator may modify a sanction placed by another administrator without: (1) the explicit prior affirmative consent of the enforcing administrator; or (2) prior affirmative agreement for the modification at (a) AE or (b) AN or (c) ARCA (see "Important notes" [in the procedure]). Administrators modifying sanctions out of process may at the discretion of the committee be desysopped."

"Longstanding consensus"
In an effort to determine whether I incorrectly reverted your edits as vandalism can you please clarify what you meant when you put "Longstanding consensus not to include political positions for the democratic or republican parties" in your edit summaries? skarz (talk) 16:09, 14 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Hello! Sorry I guess that mass editing of it was not a good idea, I was under the impression that we dont include political positions for the democratic and republican parties in the US. However I was told that it only applies to the federal parties. I was going to go ahead and remove the position categories for for all state level democratic and republican parties then the local parties if there pages exists on Wikipedia. Whats the consensus?
 * To be honest I am out of the loop on all of this stuff but you can read my relevant discussion here: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Politics. They should be able to appropriately answer any questions you have. skarz (talk) 16:14, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I'm FunIsOptional. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions—specifically this edit to Leon Trotsky—because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk. Thanks.
