One of Wikipedia's fundamental policies is to present topics from a neutral point of view. This means articles must represent each outside view fairly and proportionally, but not present any single view as true. Your edits appear to violate this principle and introduce bias to the article. Please use the talk page to discuss controversial edits—if you do not, it is likely that your edits will simply be removed by others. You should also be aware that repeatedly inserting something breaks the three-revert rule, which states that nobody may revert an article to a previous version more than three times in 24 hours. Ignoring this may get you blocked from editing Wikipedia. Thank you. Super Ψ Dro 12:03, 26 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

Copying within Wikipedia

edit

  Hi Слободар! Thank you for your edits to History of the Balkans. It looks like you've copied or moved text from one or more pages into that page, and while you are welcome to do so, Wikipedia's licensing requires that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied 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. If you've copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thanks! DanCherek (talk) 13:34, 30 July 2021 (UTC)Reply

Do I need to do anything now, or Administrator done all job with credits to original contributors? Слободар (talk) 13:58, 30 July 2021 (UTC)Reply

I have fixed the attribution edits with your recent edits to History of the Balkans — specifically the ones that copied text from Serbian Empire and History of the Ottoman Empire — but if you've copied text between articles in the past, please go back and repair the attribution issues as I detailed above, and just remember to do so in the future. Thank you! DanCherek (talk) 15:42, 30 July 2021 (UTC)Reply

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 the Balkans or Eastern Europe. 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.
