Editors who violate any listed restrictions may be blocked by any uninvolved administrator, even on a first offense.
An editor must be aware before they can be sanctioned.
With respect to any reverting restrictions:
Edits made solely to enforce any clearly established consensus are exempt from all edit-warring restrictions. In order to be considered "clearly established" the consensus must be proven by prior talk-page discussion.
Edits made which remove or otherwise change any material placed by clearly established consensus, without first obtaining consensus to do so, may be treated in the same manner as clear vandalism.
Clear vandalism of any origin may be reverted without restriction.
Reverts of edits made by anonymous (IP) editors that are not vandalism are exempt from the 1RR but are subject to the usual rules on edit warring. If you are in doubt, contact an administrator for assistance.
If you are unsure if your edit is appropriate, discuss it here on this talk page first. Remember: When in doubt, don't revert!
Only extended-confirmed editors may make edits related to the topic area, though editors who are not extended-confirmed may post constructive comments and make edit requests related to articles within the topic area on article talk pages. Should disruption occur on article talk pages, administrators may take enforcement actions against disruptive editors and/or apply page protection on article talk pages. However, non-extended-confirmed editors may not make edits to internal project discussions related to the topic area, even on article talk pages. Internal project discussions include, but are not limited to, Articles for deletion nominations, WikiProjects, requests for comment, requested moves, and noticeboard discussions.

Whatever one may think of The Grayzone, this article reads like propaganda trying to deride a dissident website. It's almost comical. The structure of the article doesn't give even a short section on what the website has reported on without starting each sentence with how wrong and Russia-friendly every report is. It says: "Grayzone staff Blumenthal and Aaron Maté acted as briefers on behalf of the Permanent Mission of the Russian Federation to the United Nations at UN meetings organized by Russia" without mentioning what they testified on. Pure guilt-by-association. To realize how ridiculous the article sounds, just *assume* The Grayzone *is indeed* friendly to Russia and Iran and then consider how silly the article reads.
Just wanted to point out to whoever wrote this ridiculous piece that they didn't do themselves any favors. This article sorely needs a more objective rewrite, if the goal is to be informative. If. Julian Mehnle (talk) 02:45, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
