| The Arbitration Committee has [[{{safesubst:Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions/Shortcuts|sanctions link=cf}}|authorized]] uninvolved administrators to impose discretionary sanctions on users who edit pages related to pseudoscience and fringe science, including this page. Provided the awareness criteria are met, discretionary sanctions may be used against editors who repeatedly or seriously fail to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behaviour, or any normal editorial process. |
