- Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.
The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Hello, Please do not do this, you may add a word (ie: discontinued) to tell it is dead instead removing a information. -- Dadu ( talk) 09:12, 26 January 2014 (UTC)

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding Eastern Europe, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.
Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.
This message is informational only and does not imply misconduct regarding your contributions to date.Callanecc ( talk • contribs • logs) 04:34, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
Hello, and
welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an
edit war with one or more editors according to your reverts at
2014 pro-Russian unrest in Ukraine. Although repeatedly
reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is usually seen as obstructing the
normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a
consensus on the
talk page.
If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. While edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you.

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at
2014 pro-Russian unrest in Ukraine. Your edits appear to be
disruptive and have been
reverted or removed.
- If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor then please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
- If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive, until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively could result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Iryna Harpy ( talk) 06:17, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
Dear Iryna Harpy Thanks for your obscured verdict on how my edits to 2014 pro-Russian unrest in Ukraine seemed to you disruptive but none of such to myself. Your opinion counts but neither comprehensive nor consistent with WP:NPOV which I tried to introduce to the page 2014 pro-Russian unrest in Ukraine trying to correct biased content of the subject as referring to biased opinion sources, representing one side of the ongoing conflict, unconfirmed data, and even rumors. Yet bringing the diversity through representing an alternative vision is an ever going task of all WP contributors, isn't it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lifeontech ( talk • contribs) 06:37, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
- Calling Volunteer Marek a "hunter" as you did in this edit is a personal attack and not acceptable on Wikipedia. If you continue to edit disruptively, whether it be edit warring, non-neutral POV pushing or incivility, I will apply sanctions to your account, such as a block. Also, please ensure that you sign your posts to talk and discussion pages, see WP:TILDE for more information. Callanecc ( talk • contribs • logs) 09:31, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
- Lifeontech, there is no subtext in my message. As you can see, I've left a belated welcome message which provides links to Wikipedia's fundamental policies. Please familiarise yourself with these before invoking WP:NPOV without context. When engaging in editing a high traffic article, you should read the corresponding talk page and archives. Often you'll find that your objections have been discussed at length in earlier evaluations of WP:RS, neutrality, etc. If you are unhappy with any aspects of the content and have tried to engage by being WP:BOLD, remember that the process for continuing is per bold, revert, discuss. Discuss means taking it to the article's talk page in order that other editors can engage. To date, your approach has been to treat the article as a WP:BATTLEFIELD and to cast WP:ASPERSIONS on the character of other editors: an extreme extension of no personal attacks. Comment on the content, not the contributor. Thank you for your attention. -- Iryna Harpy ( talk) 22:57, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
