Please read this notification carefully:
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.

- This warning was not done by administrator and there doesn't seem to be any violation of 1RR by the user. The warning is therefor invalid.GreyShark (dibra) 16:36, 22 October 2014 (UTC)
- As the alert says, "this message is informational only". It is not a warning, can be placed by any editor (which by definition includes IPs), although it must be, as it was, logged. General sanctions are not the same as 1RR in any case. Dougweller (talk) 18:01, 22 October 2014 (UTC)
