Extended-confirmed restrictions

Hi ReaperLonely,

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.

To opt out of receiving messages like this one, place {{Ds/aware}} on your user talk page and specify in the template the topic areas that you would like to opt out of alerts about. 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.

You are currently prohibited from editing about the following topics:

• The Russo-Ukrainian war (WP:GS/RUSUKR);
• The Arab-Israeli conflict (WP:A/I/PIA).

This is because you have not yet made 500 edits to the encyclopedia.

Best regards,

Unsourced information + Marking edits as minor

You have repeatedly added information to articles that is unsourced, occasionally writing "the information comes from X source" in the actual text of the article itself, without providing a citation, or writing the citation in the edit summary rather than in the article... What is the point of doing things like that when it is so easy to just put the citation in the article properly? Especially considering that you seem to have the citations available at hand.

Meanwhile, you have repeatedly been marking edits as minor that are definitely not minor. Jargo Nautilus (talk) 12:53, 17 November 2022 (UTC)

November 2022

To enforce community-authorised general sanctions, and for violating the extended-confirmed restriction, as described at WP:GS/RUSUKR,

you have been blocked indefinitely from editing. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 19:09, 17 November 2022 (UTC)

Reminder to administrators: Community sanctions are enacted by community consensus. In order to overturn this block, you must either receive the approval of the blocking administrator or consensus at a community noticeboard (you may need to copy and paste their statement to a community noticeboard).
