Re. Fowell Buxton. You are correct Fowell is his second name. The entry makes no sense at all as Fowell Buxton. It should be headed Thomas Fowell Buxton. Makes no sense as Fowell Buxton. He was one if the greatest social reformers in the nineteenth century. He was responsible for the Slavery Abolition Act in 1833 which emancipated 800,000 slaves throughout the British Empire on August 1, 1834 and put an end to slave ownership as well as being responsible for many other reforms. His correct title in full was Sir Thomas Fowell Buxton, 1st Baronet Buxton of Belfield and Runton. He was known as "the Liberator". Can I leave you to see this is changed?

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 gender-related disputes or controversies or in people associated with them. 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.

Thank you for beginning the discussion at Talk:Hakeem Oluseyi. That's exactly the right step to take when there is a dispute over content in an article. I appreciate you questioning the revert properly on the talk page rather than edit-warring, it's refreshing! Schazjmd (talk) 16:08, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
