Controversial topic area alert

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.

Hello, I'm Newslinger. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Bellingcat, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Newslinger talk 21:21, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

Specifically, in Special:Diff/1080847178, you added the text "The organization is now engaged in fixing crimes against Ukrainian civilians...". The meaning of the word fixing in this sentence is unclear, since it could also refer to anything in wikt:fix#Verb, including Fixer (person). If you locate a reliable source that directly supports the claim, and phrase the claim to be less ambiguous, feel free to use it to expand the Bellingcat § Russian invasion of Ukraine section. — Newslinger talk 21:28, 3 April 2022 (UTC) Edited 05:35, 5 April 2022 (UTC)

Hello Newslinger. Thank you for your note. I've fix it and add reliable source. Thanks alot Vicors (talk) 13:55, 10 April 2022 (UTC)

Hi Vicors! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at War crime that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you. — Newslinger talk 21:21, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

Hello Newslinger. Thank you for your explanations but I don't understand why my information about latest war crimes was deleted. Is minor edit status the cause of this? Thanks in advance for the answer Vicors (talk) 14:06, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
