A basic citation template I like to use. See this citation tool: Yadkard<ref name=" ">{{cite web \| last1= \| first1= \| last2= \| first2= \| date= \| title= \| website= \| url= \| accessdate= }}</ref> I like to choose a ref name which will remain unique, so I use the last name(s) of the author(s) and publication date. Here's how it works: <ref name="Harding_11/15/2017">{{cite web \| last=Harding \| first=Luke \| title=How Trump walked into Putin's web \| website=The Guardian \| date=November 15, 2017 \| url=http://www.theguardian.com/news/2017/nov/15/how-trump-walked-into-putins-web-luke \| access-date=December 24, 2017}}</ref> An alternative date format is the ISO format: "Harding-20171115" References Harding, Luke (November 15, 2017). "How Trump walked into Putin's web". The Guardian. Retrieved December 24, 2017. This is good practice indeed. I also like that you use some breathing space between parameters, that makes citations much easier to read and update. Let me suggest an improvement: when you cite a newspaper, replace `cite web` by `cite news`, and use `newspaper=The Guardian` instead of `website=The Guardian`. There are handy substitutes for "newspaper": you may equivalently use "magazine" or the generic "work" (which I tend to use because it's shorter and always valid). It's also nice to link to the article of the cited newspaper, such as `]`. Be careful that piped links in citations need to be made explicit, so that you need to type `work=]`, not just `work=]`. Finally, ISO date is better practice because of the confusion that often arises between US and British ordering of months and days. Hope this helps; feel free to discard this message. — JFG 06:14, 10 June 2018 (UTC) Heck no! I'm keeping this great message. Thanks. -- BullRangifer (talk) PingMe 14:48, 10 June 2018 (UTC)

Special discretionary sanctions

Please be aware that you are now subject to the following sanctions:

The No Personal Comments sanction ~~and Thicker Skin sanction~~ outlined at User:Awilley/Special discretionary sanctions#No personal comments sanction

These sanctions are for the topic area of post-1932 politics for a duration of 1 year. The sanctions have been imposed based in part on your actions leading up to Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement/Archive239#BullRangifer and continued comments about users who had been 1-way interaction banned from you.

These sanctions are imposed in my capacity as an uninvolved administrator under the authority of the Arbitration Committee's decision at Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Requests/Case/American politics 2#Final decision and will be logged here. Violations of the sanctions will trigger the enforcement procedures outlined at User:Awilley/Special discretionary sanctions#Enforcement: 1-week non-escalating topic ban. Note that you are extremely unlikely to be topic banned or blocked for accidental violations of the sanctions, provided you are willing to correct your own mistakes without administrative intervention. Also note that these sanctions are intended to enforce good behavioral norms that you should probably be observing anyway.

You may appeal this sanction using the process described here, or directly to me. Please contact me with questions or if anything of the above is unclear. P.S. Apologies if this seems a bit out of the blue, it's something I had decided to do weeks ago but only now had the time to finish up. ~Awilley (talk) 21:24, 13 August 2018 (UTC)
