  Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Dashushen, Nagorno-Karabakh, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Materialscientist (talk) 08:24, 25 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

  Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Drmbon, Nagorno-Karabakh. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Only extended confirmed users are authorized to edit topics related to politics, ethnic relations, and conflicts involving Armenia, Azerbaijan, or both — broadly construed, per WP:GS/AA.

@Black Kite: Hey, this non-ec editor keeps editing political issues on Nagorno-Karabakh articles even though I informed the user of the restrictions of WP:GS/AA. AntonSamuel (talk) 06:35, 30 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
@AntonSamuel: Hi AntonSamuel! I have just seen your message. I see no problems in my edits since I provide sources before editing. If you are so concerned about neutralism, why don't you revert the unsourced pro-Armenian edits like this[1]? I just add missed facts to the articles. Kind Regards EloquentEditor (talk) 06:43, 30 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

  There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. AntonSamuel (talk) 12:27, 3 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

Introduction to contentious topics

edit

You have recently edited a page related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic designated as contentious. This standard message is designed as an introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

  • adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
  • comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
  • follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
  • comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
  • refrain from gaming the system.

Additionally you must be logged-in, have 500 edits and an account age of 30 days and are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on a page within this topic.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

Hi EloquentEditor, the 500 edits restriction described in the blue box above applies to requested move discussions too (see WP:ARBECR for details). ~ ToBeFree (talk) 20:42, 7 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

To enforce an arbitration decision, and for starting a move discussion in contravention of WP:GS/AA on the page Stepanakert, you have been blocked from editing Wikipedia for a period of 1 week. You are welcome to edit once the block expires; however, please note that the repetition of similar behavior may result in a longer block or other sanctions.

If you believe this block is unjustified, please read the guide to appealing blocks (specifically this section) before appealing. Place the following on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Please copy my appeal to the [[WP:AE|arbitration enforcement noticeboard]] or [[WP:AN|administrators' noticeboard]]. Your reason here OR place the reason below this template. ~~~~}}. If you intend to appeal on the arbitration enforcement noticeboard, I suggest you use the arbitration enforcement appeals template on your talk page so it can be copied over easily. You may also appeal directly to me (by email), before or instead of appealing on your talk page.

Although I strongly disagree with your action, I respect it. EloquentEditor (talk) 19:17, 16 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

Reminder to administrators: In May 2014, ArbCom adopted the following procedure instructing administrators regarding Arbitration Enforcement blocks: "No administrator may modify a sanction placed by another administrator without: (1) the explicit prior affirmative consent of the enforcing administrator; or (2) prior affirmative agreement for the modification at (a) AE or (b) AN or (c) ARCA (see "Important notes" [in the procedure]). Administrators modifying sanctions out of process may at the discretion of the committee be desysopped."
