Tsepelovitis Alvanitis, I noticed your edits at Pashalik of Yanina, which are not ones I would expect a newcomer to make. Have you previously edited using any other accounts? Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 19:55, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for responding, and happy editing. You've started off in a contentious area, so please be cautious. I've pasted an important template below. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 20:21, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction to contentious topics[edit]

You have recently edited a page related to Eastern Europe or the Balkans, a topic designated as contentious. This standard message is designed as an introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

August 2023[edit]

Tsepelovitis Alvanitis, this edit was a violation of the article's consensus-required restriction. Please self-revert soon, or you will be blocked. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 15:25, 24 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

To enforce an arbitration decision, and for a violation of the consensus required restriction, you have been blocked from editing Wikipedia for a period of 48 hours from certain pages (Pashalik of Yanina). You are welcome to edit once the block expires; however, please note that the repetition of similar behavior may result in a longer block or other sanctions.

If you believe this block is unjustified, please read the guide to appealing blocks (specifically this section) before appealing. Place the following on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Please copy my appeal to the [[WP:AE|arbitration enforcement noticeboard]] or [[WP:AN|administrators' noticeboard]]. Your reason here OR place the reason below this template. ~~~~}}. If you intend to appeal on the arbitration enforcement noticeboard, I suggest you use the arbitration enforcement appeals template on your talk page so it can be copied over easily. You may also appeal directly to me (by email), before or instead of appealing on your talk page.

Reminder to administrators: In May 2014, ArbCom adopted the following procedure instructing administrators regarding Arbitration Enforcement blocks: "No administrator may modify a sanction placed by another administrator without: (1) the explicit prior affirmative consent of the enforcing administrator; or (2) prior affirmative agreement for the modification at (a) AE or (b) AN or (c) ARCA (see "Important notes" [in the procedure]). Administrators modifying sanctions out of process may at the discretion of the committee be desysopped."

Hi TA, and thanks for your message at my user talk page. You describe the edit that violated the restriction as a mistake. I am happy to consider it so and unblock you, assuming you (A) can assure me such a breach won't be repeated and (B) affirm that you've read this very brief definition of the restriction and [[WP:CONSENSUSREQUIRED|this explanatory essay]. Please ask any clarifying questions you have. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 00:49, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
