    This page lists general sanctions that apply to all editors working in particular areas. Individual editors subject to editing restrictions are listed at Misplaced Pages:Editing restrictions.

    The Arbitration Committee may impose general sanctions on all editors working in a particular area, usually following a request for arbitration. Administrators employing these sanctions are reminded of the need to issue appropriate notifications and to log all sanctions as specified in each case. Such general sanctions may be revoked by the Committee by passing a "motion in a prior case".

    Usually at an administrators' noticeboard, the community may also impose general sanctions on all editors working in a particular area. Administrators employing these sanctions are reminded of the need to issue appropriate notifications and to log all sanctions as specified in each case. Such general sanctions may be revoked at the same venue by the community when the community believes that they are no longer necessary.

    Types of sanctions

    Article probation
    Editors making disruptive edits may be banned by an administrator from articles on probation and related articles or project pages. Editors of such articles should be especially mindful of content policies, such as WP:NPOV, and interaction policies, such as WP:CIVIL, WP:NPA, WP:3RR, and WP:POINT. See Category:Articles on probation.
    Community article probation
    Editors making disruptive edits may be subject to various administrative sanctions, depending on the terms of probation. Similar to above, but imposed by the community rather than ArbCom.
    General restriction
    Administrators may impose one or more specific restrictions (as listed in each individual case) on editors.

    (B) To edit only through a conventional ISP and not through any form of proxy configuration;

    (Log)     		Waldorf education, Rudolf Steiner, Anthroposophy, and the extended family of related articles, such as Social Threefolding Article probation Original decision: Waldorf education, Rudolf Steiner, Anthroposophy and the extended family of related articles such as Social Threefolding are placed on article probation. Editors of these articles are expected to remove all original research and other unverifiable information, including all controversial information sourced in Anthroposophy related publications. It is anticipated that this process may result in deletion or merger of some articles due to failure of verification by third party peer reviewed sources. If it is found, upon review by the Arbitration Committee, that any of the principals in this arbitration continue to edit in an inappropriate and disruptive way editing restrictions may be imposed. Review may be at the initiative of any member of the Arbitration Committee on their own motion or upon petition by any user to them.
