I have been a registered editor at wikipedia for about two and a half years.

The following restriction was just placed on me:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/IncidentArchive572#Grundle2600:_continued_problems

"Grundle2600 is subject to an indefinite topic ban - he is prohibited from editing any pages relating to US politics or politicians. The ban will be enforced by escalating blocks."

As a so-called justification for this restriction, the following contributions by me to wikipedia were cited:
