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 recently shown interest in the Balkans. 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 any 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.

Formation on the infobox for the Republic of Macedonia

edit

Hello, recently you made an addition to the infobox for the Republic of Macedonia which I have reverted. The formation part of the infobox refers to the state, which was formed in 1991. The article's history section provides all relevant historical information. If you intend to add controversial information to the infobox again, please discuss it on the talk page first. --Michail (blah) 21:16, 23 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

Alternative accounts and logged-out editing

edit

I have blocked User:2pacalpyseNow and User:Daddy finger. I also noticed that you have made many, many edits without properly logging in. All this could be a good enough reason for me to block your account for socking and evading scrutiny--really all it requires is that I find one example where you edited from an IP and one of your accounts. If you like I can spend a bunch of time looking for that, with the possible result that you are blocked--or you can tell me that there will be no need for that since from now on you won't be editing without logging in while working on similar articles (Balkan, Macedonia, Yugoslavia, etc.).

State recognition

edit

Montenegro and Croatia are not countries with limited recognition. Not having diplomatic relations with a country is not the same as not being recognized by said countries. Vif12vf/Tiberius (talk) 00:31, 2 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Hasmonean dynasty, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Northern District (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

  Please do not add or change content, as you did at Islamic Courts Union, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Molecule Extraction (talk) 18:42, 7 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

edit

  Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Taiwan into Republic of China (1912–1949). While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 22:14, 12 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

  Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing →   Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks! SharabSalam (talk) 12:24, 16 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
