The entry on [[Cuzcatlan]] is really terrible, drawn apparently from outdated and government sites that tell little of interest to most readers and get many details wrong. Shocked by the quality I've made some quick changes to amend some of the more egregious mistakes - such as treating the mythical Atlacatl as a real person! - but the page still lacks citations and proper scholarship, providing only a list of websites. I can keep working on it, as I worked with the literature briefly at one point, but the article should be flagged as badly needing proper sources and citations by historians.[[User:Tafkira2|Tafkira2]] ([[User talk:Tafkira2#top|talk]]) 13:53, 19 January 2017 (UTC) |

Darylgolden(talk) 07:03, 29 October 2014 (UTC)Help me! with my status?
Can you please help me clarify my editing status? I'm not sure I'm allowed to edit pages on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, because I don't know where I stand with the new 500-edit anti-war rule. I do greatly appreciate and respect your efforts to restrain wars on these controversial sites! However, I'm an academic researcher (political science professor) specializing on the subject and do wish to contribute well-documented information to some of these pages. I have never been sanctioned, for my contributions to these pages (or any others). Many thanks!

- Tafkira2, you will have to wait 30 days and have 500 edits to edit this article. There's nothing that we can do. If you really are serious about editing this article, wait until you can edit it, as it shows that you are not a vandal. ThePlatypusofDoom (talk) 17:42, 16 August 2016 (UTC)
Thanks, Platypus. How do I see how many edits I have already? Tafkira2 (talk) 17:47, 16 August 2016 (UTC)

Note
A community decision has authorised the use of general sanctions for pages related to the Syrian Civil War and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. The details of these sanctions are described here. All pages that are broadly related to these topics are subject to a one revert per twenty-four hours restriction, as described here.
General sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimise disruption in controversial topic areas. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to these topics that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behaviour, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. An editor can only be sanctioned after he or she has been made aware that general sanctions are in effect. This notification is meant to inform you that sanctions are authorised in these topic areas, which you have been editing. It is only effective if it is logged here. Before continuing to edit pages in these topic areas, please familiarise yourself with the general sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.--NeilN talk to me 00:09, 8 July 2018 (UTC)
