Posting on the Wikipedia Community Bulletin Board

The Community bulletin board (aka WP:CBB) is a terrific way to let your newly created Portal, WikiProject, etc., be known to the community, including at the Community Portal. It's also a great way to recruit fellow editors. If you post a notice there, please follow these guidelines:

  • Use present tense.
  • Bold the main link.
  • Keep it short and sweet, news style.
  • Use pulldates (one week) by inserting them into a hidden comment like this: <!-- Pulldate: July 3 -->

Or just follow the instructions on the page, which will be visible when you edit it.

You can also submit WikiProject and similar news to the relevant section of the Wikipedia Signpost.

To add this auto-updating template to your user page, use {{totd}}

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 post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people. 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.

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.
