July 2020 edit
{{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. Vanjagenije (talk) 00:24, 4 July 2020 (UTC)

Request reason:
Vanjagenije's 48h block of me is against WP:BP as there was no reason to think I would be disruptive in any way in the future (I'm a stickler for rules and as such try very hard not to edit war, and, in fact, I have a personal 2RR rule I abide), and the accusation of edit-warring itself (on Milutin Milanković) is clearly unjustifiable as 1) The editor who I had a dispute with agreed with my partial revert up front (He can be Serbian and Yugoslav for all I care, or just "scientist"), i.e. I had freaking consensus backing me; and 2) My last revert previous to the one I was blocked for was almost a week ago, on 2020-06-28.
Furthermore, my block would be excessive even if based on something, as it was 48 instead of 24 hours, and as I was blocked even from Vanjagenije's talk page (so, from everything else too, I guess) and thus couldn't even ask for clarification regarding the block; and because I was given no warning and have no prior offenses against policy.
Even if there was something wrong with an edit of mine (if there was, per policy I demand an explanation of how), consider that I picked a tough problem to crack (applying MOS:BIO to Balkans biography article leads), while each of my edits was based completely on policy and/or guidelines, and while I put much effort into talk page communication with users who were both ignorant of the English language (nationality vs ethnicity), Wikipedia guidelines (the Manual of Style), unresponsive to discussion; but most importantly in the majority of cases the editors were unwilling to even educate themselves using the wiki-links I provided in both edit summaries and talk page messages. My point is, do you really want to punish an editor for picking a tough problem on a feared part of Wikipedia justified by supposed minor procedural issues?
Lastly, no offense, but I think it would be appropriate for Vanjagenije to clarify whether he is biased and/or holds strong opinions regarding this particular case (regarding Milanković, the MOS, or maybe some of the users) seeing as sanctioning admins should not be involved and Vanjagenije states in his user page that he is Serbian.

Decline reason:
You were unambiguously edit warring. When I look at the history of that article, I see you have made the same change five or so times in two weeks. --jpgordon𝄢𝄆 𝄐𝄇 03:34, 4 July 2020 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
@Jpgordon: I changed "Serbian" to "Yugoslav" four times in 14 days (while trying very much to discuss on Talk and getting one nonsensical response, but mostly being ignored), but how am I to recognize that (preventively) as edit warring? Also note that that wasn't the only thing I did in those edits, and that I have no prior involvement with the article. Also, that wasn't what I was blocked for; I was blocked for my last edit (at the end of the third week) that was based on consensus (removing Serbian without adding Yugoslav).
Also, considering what I laid out in the rest of my appeal, I think I deserve a shorter block.
And please tell me what should I have really done so as not to get blocked (which I didn't expect, BTW) and still move WP forward. The way I see it (and the way I interpret BRD and other methods of reaching consensus), discussion is necessary to move forward, and how am I supposed to make discussion happen if other editors are content with just reverting me without discussing, or with "discussing"/ranting with no regard to Wikipedia policy or guidelines? I've had similar problems on other pages (but also as part of my MOS:BIO in Balkans lead paragraphs effort) where a user literally insulted me and told me he doesn't care to discuss with me - I'm not equating the situation altogether, but in effect they are very similar in that there is a "dispute" where one side does not care to discuss or learn anything. (BTW, I wasn't talking about Sadko, they are a relatively good editor, but note that even their comment on the talk page came only after I pinged them to the Talk page after they reverted me, and even then it largely didn't make sense because of a misremembering/misunderstanding of theirs as I pointed out in my response there.)

Tangentially related: look at this IP: Special:Contributions/178.9.202.230. Four reverts in a row at Battle of Kosovo. His latest edit: revert on Milutin Milanković with a vandalism aspersion. Notrium (talk) 06:40, 4 July 2020 (UTC)
From WP:BP:
- WP:BLOCKPREVENTATIVE: "Blocks should be preventative" - how is this block supposed to be preventive if I am not even being taught how to recognize the behavior I am being punished for?
- WP:BEFOREBLOCK: I got none of that. Notrium (talk) 07:06, 4 July 2020 (UTC)
