Arbitration case discretionary sanctions warnings

For your future information, these are only valid if made by 'uninvolved administrators.

Your warning / notification to Johnrv4 failed both those clauses...

You are incorrect. Wikipedia:Arbitration_Committee/Discretionary_sanctions#For_administrators: "A warning need not be issued by an administrator;" Second Quantization (talk) 10:00, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

It must be issued by an uninvolved party, which you are not, and if not issued by an uninvolved administrator is not fully enforceable, and if not issued by an uninvolved administrator you are REQUIRED to use the following template modification per the template instructions, which you failed to do:

If you use this notice and you are not an "uninvolved administrator", you must include the parameter |admin=no in the template, so that the sentence "This notice is given by an uninvolved administrator and will be..." is adapted accordingly.

This is to prevent random users using these as clubs against one another.

Using them as clubs usually leads to sanctions.

The preferred procedure is asking on WP:AE for a warning to be issued. Or asking any uninvolved admin elsewhere to review snd warn if justified.

I didn't notice the admin=no part, but on the main issue, there is no requirement that it be an uninvolved party that I am aware of. It fully constitutes a notice and is usable at WP:AE to establish when they were notified. If you disagree, cite where you are getting your information from. I've seen notices rescinded before by others, but never because they were involved (i.e it was because they were tit for tat), Second Quantization (talk) 10:40, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

Hindu Astrology

Removed copy paste. But "It is only after the Greek settlement in Bactria (third century BC) that explicit references to planets are attested in Sanskrit texts.[6]:382" and "It was only after the transmission of Hellenistic astrology that the order of planets in India was fixed in that of the seven-day week" have same meanings, and they are noted only once, in that whole book. So keeping the last sentence. Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rzvas (talk • contribs) 11:25, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

Cool. Unfortunately I don't have the text so I'll have to take your word on it. I suggest peaking through some of those links the notice gave just to make sure there isn't any issues. Second Quantization (talk) 11:29, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
