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 Eastern Europe or 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 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.

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. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks!

Do I have to write a summary even if I only change one word or two? Rolando 1208 (talk) 02:49, 9 April 2020 (UTC)
It's very unproductive and unconstructive of you to unilaterally change the article title of "Ugaritic alphabet", when you must be aware that there's no consensus for that change on the article talk page, and there has been no formal process or procedure of any kind. (Not to mention that the main motivation for the change, the so-called "abjad"[sic] neologism, is completely bogus and worthless!) AnonMoos (talk) 19:07, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
P.S. It's not standard terminology, but the Ethiopian alphabet could be called a "false" syllabary, since there are many commonalities in appearance as you go down the columns of different consonants combined with the same vowel, and also many commonalities when you look across the rows of the same consonant combined with different vowels. In very strong contrast, in "true" syllabaries such as Japanese hiragana and katakana, there is no commonality across any row or column (signs which write the same beginning consonant or the same ending vowel have no significant similarity in appearance). That's why Ethiopean was formerly often called an "alphabet" (don't know if it still is), while the Japanese scripts were never called alphabets by any linguistically-informed person.

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed a recent edit you made does not have an edit summary. You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or to provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits a summary may be quite brief.
The edit summary field looks like this:

Which recent edit? Rolando 1208 (talk) 07:30, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
Seriously, on Child marriage that is literally what your edit is saying, how can you not see that? And please stop just edit warring your change back in. That's not how BRD works. Mako001 (C) (T) 🇺🇦 08:36, 16 December 2022 (UTC)
- Please do not add any Indic script, to any of our India related articles, as you did at Marwari people, as this contravenes WP:NOINDICSCRIPT - Thank you - Arjayay (talk) 10:27, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
Please stop. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Marwari people, you may be blocked from editing.
It was clearly explained, above, that you should not add Indic script to our articles, but have continued to do so, please stop. - Arjayay (talk) 09:22, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
Rolando 1208 - I'm not going to edit-war on this, although I will probably seek clarification from MOS:INDIA about WP:NOINDICSCRIPT, when I have some spare time. As for your argument that Tamils and Marathi people provide precedents, that is NOT the way Wikipedia works - as explained at WP:OTHERCONTENT "The nature of Wikipedia means that you cannot make a convincing argument based solely on whether or not the same or similar content exists or is formatted similarly in some other page" - Arjayay (talk) 09:10, 8 April 2023 (UTC)

Hello! In this diff: Special:Diff/1188199756, which article were you hoping to move? Cheers, Utopes (talk / cont) 23:10, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Hindi. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Points to note:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. —SpacemanSpiff 16:36, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
Hi, I noticed you recently restored an old version which I reverted on Pinoy. The reversion was made because the user had introduced a random @ sign, and removed content without explaining. I was curious as to your reasoning for restoring this. Thanks,NeuropolTalk 18:11, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
