This is your only warning; if you violate Wikipedia's biographies of living persons policy by inserting unsourced or poorly sourced defamatory content into an article or any other Wikipedia page again, as you did at Shaun King (activist), you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Wikipedia is not a platform for sharing personal opinions about people. Your personal opinion of someone's ethnicity is irrelevant and has been redacted. Continuing to post such claims may lead to sanctions. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 04:35, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
Please carefully read this information:
The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles, 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 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.NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 04:36, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

Is it really appropriate to use RfC for discussion of a source's reliability? I've been ordered to set up an RfC on a BLP talkpage for a disputed source. I don't even know how to do this, especially how to categorize the RfC. Which category do I use?
