The following sanction now applies to you:

You are topic-banned from post-1978 Iranian politics, broadly construed, for 1 year.

This sanction is imposed in my capacity as an uninvolved administrator under the authority of the community-authorized discretionary sanction in this area. Please read the banning policy to ensure you understand what this means.

You may appeal this sanction at any time either to me personally or to the administrator noticeboard. Even if you appeal this sanction, you remain bound by it until you are notified by an uninvolved administrator that the appeal has been successful. You are also free to contact me on my talk page if anything of the above is unclear to you. Vanamonde (Talk) 18:00, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Saff V., I'm sorry to do this, because I think you've made a genuine effort to treat Wikipedia less like a battleground, but given the string of previous warnings and the one previous sanction, your response here leaves me little choice. Among several other things, the largest problem is that you added content stating in Wikipedia's voice that US sanctions on Iran are illegal, when the source you used made it clear that that was the view of the Iranian government; and when I asked you about that diff, you didn't acknowledge your mistake, even though it had been explicitly pointed out above. This TBAN is for a year, but it could be shorter, if you work in other areas and show that you can write in a policy-compliant way. I think working in an area where you don't have strong feelings would be good for you, and in time you can return to this topic with a clearer perspective.

@Vanamonde93: This was not deliberate editing,you are right that I had to add the attribution for it. I admit my mistake. But please note that how I can do it purposefully while I always have been worried about attribution in edits (for example, 1, 2, 3, 4. Please take a look at my positive edits in Wikipedia and give me another chance, 1 year ban is not fair.Saff V. (talk) 07:38, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but no. I appreciate your willingness to admit a mistake, but that's not much use if you can't recognize the problems before they happen. I did give you a chance, when I asked you to explain the three worst diffs; but you didn't recognize the problem then. And you've had more than your share of warnings. You have the option of appealing this to WP:AN if you so choose, but I'd recommend that you find a couple of other areas you are interested in, and get more experience building content in an area where you don't have such strong feelings.

Hello Saff V.,

Your help can make a difference

NPP Sorting can be a great way to find pages needing new page patrolling that match your strengths and interests. Using ORES, it divides articles into topics such as Literature or Chemistry and on Geography. Take a look and see if you can find time to patrol a couple pages a day. With over 10,000 pages in the queue, the highest it's been since ACPERM, your help could really make a difference.
