User talk:JAK0723
Welcome to Wikipedia, JAK0723! I felt compelled to leave this message on your talk page when I noticed you had not yet been welcomed to the site despite being on here for as long as you have. It is my philosophy that everyone deserves to be welcomed, regardless of who they are or when they got here, so please accept this small token of our appreciation of your decision to edit here. If you have any questions, or if you need any assistance, do not hesitate to drop me a line. Sincerely, TomStar81 (Talk) 05:46, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
Wiki Loves Pride 2014
[edit]Hi JAK. In case you are not aware, there is an upcoming campaign to improve coverage of LGBT-related topics on Wikipedia, culminating with an international edit-a-thon on June 21. See Wiki Loves Pride 2014 for more information. If you are interested, you might consider creating a page for a major city (or cities!) near you, with a list of LGBT-related articles that need to be created or improved. This would be a tremendous help to Wikipedia and coverage of LGBT culture and history. Thanks for your consideration, and please let me know if you have any questions! --Another Believer (Talk) 17:57, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
==Notice: sanctions apply to Gamergate controversy topics==
Please read this notification carefully:
A community discussion has authorised the use of general sanctions for pages related to the Gamergate controversy.
The details of these sanctions are 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.
