@yamia I think you are being too harsh on newbies. Apart from promising I won't do any disruptive editing or removal of wiki approved sources in the future, what other ways are there for redemption? Make a number of decent contributions on other pages fe?

Hello, I'm MrOllie. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk. Thanks. MrOllie (talk) 21:32, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
Your recent editing history at Li Hongzhi shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. Doug Weller talk 21:35, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you remove or blank page content or templates from Wikipedia without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. MrOllie (talk) 21:37, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
Important Notice[edit]
This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
You have shown interest in Falun Gong. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.
To opt out of receiving messages like this one, place {{Ds/aware}} on your user talk page and specify in the template the topic areas that you would like to opt out of alerts about. For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

January 2023[edit]
{{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. Doug Weller talk 21:40, 5 January 2023 (UTC)- Hi Doug, I haven't been editing for ages so sorry did not mean to engage in an edit war! Just discovered the edit summary and filled it out properly the last edits. I'm just trying to remove two bits of content but it's inserted all over on several Falun Gong related pages! It's the NBC news article that because it was indirectly funded eg influenced by the CCP ("This comes as NBC’s parent company, NBCUniversal, continues to work with a consortium of Chinese state-owned companies on a multibillion-dollar project in Beijing.") about the Epoch Times. And the other bit of information comes from the disputed Wuhan based and thus possibly compromised author and editor of 2 anti-Falun Gong articles claiming weird things about the practice and aliens, anti medication, mixed races etc theories. The Li Hongzhi page has been targeted before by Chinese trolls where the picture was replaced by a dogs head f.e. Because of the horid persecution in China the copying of CCP propaganda abroad could costs lives in China - this was the reason I was editing.
- ps: read that you are recovering in hospital and wishing you speedy recovery. Below some hopefully helpful analysis on the matter fyi.

- Falun Gong publications are not reliable sources. You also removed material published by [[Los Angeles (magazine) and the Asia Society, both reliable sources.
If you are referring to Bethany Allen-Ebrahimian, she's a reporter for Axios (website), a reliable source. Repeat this type of edit elsewhere and I'm afraid you'll be topic banned. Thanks for your comments on my health, but I've been out of hospital for a while. That operation failed to remove all of my cancer from my liver. Doug Weller talk 11:06, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
- I'm sorry to hear the operation was not a complete success and wishing you well. About the block well I apparently deleted a bit rashly the whole thing repeating CCP propaganda and deleted the Axios and Asia Society sources. Maybe it is better to just let those be yes but add information about how fe the weird alien thing, not taking medicin, race mixing (I just realized most of my Falun Gong friends couples are mixed race couples) is used to defame the persecuted group? F.e. add a relevant quote from the main text Zhuan Falun: “Can hospitals heal illnesses? Of course they can. If hospitals could not heal illnesses, why would people believe in them and go there for treatments? Hospitals are still able to heal illnesses, but their means of treatment belong to the level of everyday people while illnesses are supernatural." The not using medicine claim has been put out by the CCP in the beginning days of the persecution to counter the huge popularity of the practice and justify persecution (you can find information on the "1400 deaths" propaganda spin). Here is another case of Western media copying Beijing info and Australians responding https://tvblackbox.com.au/page/2020/07/15/the-teachings-of-the-falun-gong-movement-are-investigated-on-foreign-correspondent/ or this one: https://www.quora.com/Falun-Gong-makes-people-refuse-to-see-a-doctor-refuse-to-go-to-the-hospital-How-do-you-evaluate-this-kind-of-thinking. That is the issue of not taking medicin. And you could add sources on the topic of mixed races, homosexuality etc. It would make it a more informative page. Now these derogatory claims are just bluntly put out there and misleading readers in my totally subjective opinion of course. Marieke77 (talk) 21:44, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

This does not address your disruptive editing, your removal of well-sourced text, and your lack of understanding of WP:RS. Yamla (talk) 19:55, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
