Alert regarding
editPlease carefully read this information:
The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding all edits about, and all pages related to post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people, 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 that 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.Justine Kish
editWhat part of "Biographies of living persons ("BLPs") must be written conservatively and with regard for the subject's privacy. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a tabloid: it is not Wikipedia's job to be sensationalist, or to be the primary vehicle for the spread of titillating claims about people's lives" did you not understand? Just because something can be sourced does not qualify it for inclusion, especially when it is a source of continual puerile vandalism meant to humiliate the subject. It is sufficient to state that she lost the contest without going into details. The event that you insist is notable enough to be prominently displayed in a person's encyclopedia biography is a common problem in extreme sports, most notably in distance running, and is not appropriate for inclusion in this case, where it has been used by others to denigrate the subject. Your edit on the talkpage, however well-intentioned compared to the gross vandalism that prevailed in the article, was a violation of the BLP policy, which applies on all parts of Wikipedia, and has been redacted. It was not vandalism, it was a breach of policy. Acroterion (talk) 09:50, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

draw
edit"X drew Y" is not "fine", it is grammatically incorrect, unless you mean "X was paired with Y". "X drew with Y" or "X drew against Y" are correct. MaxBrowne2 (talk) 00:49, 22 October 2019 (UTC)
