Why was I issued a review warning?

Review warnings are intended to let reviewers know that at least one of their review actions is concerning to moderators, such as approving plagiarism or poor edits, and that if continued it could result in areview suspension. It is not a punishment, it is simply an attempt to get reviewers back on track, and to ensure the review tools are being used authentically and appropriately.

More specific information about the reason you are being issued a warning will be provided in the post notice.

What happens?

When you are issued a warning you will see a post notice in the review queues, which will stay visible until you dismiss it. You will also receive an inbox notification. Make sure to carefully read over the post notice and review the posts that you were warned on, to ensure that you understand the issue and can avoid it in the future.

Can I continue reviewing?

Yes. A warning, is just that. However, be careful not to continue the behavior that caused you to be issued a warning in the first place or you risk beingsuspended from reviewing in the future.

What if I want more information about why I got a warning?

If you have any questions about what led to the warning, post a question onMeta and use the[review-warning] tag. In your post, be sure to include the following information:

• A link to the review that caused your warning,
• An explanation of why you made the choice you did (particularly important if you feel the warning is in error),
• A request to understand what the correct choice should have been and why.

In the future, take your time while reviewing and make sure each task is given adequate attention. If you're not certain what the correct action is, make use of the "Skip" feature and let someone else handle that review.
