As a result of this ruling of the Arbitration Committee, administrators may use special enforcement guidelines in ensuring all pages on Wikipedia comply with the biographies of living persons policy. All such actions by administrators are to be logged on this page. Sanctions may only be imposed if the individual has been counseled and warned regarding the BLP policy and their violations of it, and continues to violate the policy. This warning must be linked to from the log entry on this page in order for the sanction to be valid.

All such actions by administrators under this ruling may only be overturned by clear community consensus at the Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Arbitration enforcement board, or by the Arbitration Committee.

All logged sanctions should be accompanied with evidence of the sanctioned editor being counseled and warned, as per the above. Where an action has been reversed or modified, this should be clearly marked, and must be accompanied by evidence of explicit approval from the Committee, or of clear consensus from the community.

Arbitration Committee, from Footnoted quotes

Templates

If possible, please issue warnings and sanctions in your own words and be as clear as possible; explain what parts of WP:BLP were violated, which edits were in violation of policy, whether a warning is final, etc. The following templates may be of use in some circumstances.

  • {{subst:uw-blpse3|1=Article}} to warn a new user or one not familiar with BLP. Assumes good faith, but may serve as a final warning in the case of particularly serious violations. This template is intended to fill this ruling's requirement that violating users be counseled on the policy.
  • {{subst:uw-blpse4|1=Article|2=Reason for violation}} is intended to follow a level 4 warning, and serves as a final warning before a block.
  • {{subst:BLP Spec Warn|1=Article|2=Specific BLP policy violated}} to final warn a user of BLP violations.
  • {{subst:BLP Spec Sanction|1=Sanction}} to notify a user of special enforcement sanctions.
  • {{BLP Spec Admin}} may be used in log and edit summaries to indicate the nature of the action taken.
  • {{subst:BLP Spec Article}} to notify contributors that an article is under special enforcement sanctions.
