Your comment in a discussion to move 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine has been removed, as non- extended-confirmed editors are not allowed to participate in such discussions per Wikipedia:General sanctions/Russo-Ukrainian War. The following is a standard notice for sanctions that apply to articles about Eastern Europe, which you should be aware of if you intend to edit articles relating to the region.

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.

GramCanMineAway, this restriction also applies to articles such as Battle of Sievierodonetsk (2022) in the topic area of the Russo-Ukrainian War. Please do not continue editing such pages before having made 500 contributions. ~ ToBeFree ( talk) 19:30, 21 May 2023 (UTC) reply

Sorry, I was not aware I was not allowed to edit such articles, from now on I'll stop editing articles relating to the Russo-Ukrainian War. GramCanMineAway ( talk) 00:58, 22 May 2023 (UTC) reply

(Until I have the appropriate access level, which I now have)

Though I will edit with care and caution, especially in sanctioned topics and other controversial topics and will try my best to make sure all my edits are constructive. GramCanMineAway ( talk) 06:43, 27 May 2023 (UTC) reply

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit(s) you made to Existence of God, did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Please do not change the formatting of section headings without good reason or by some established style. —DIYeditor ( talk) 05:07, 9 March 2023 (UTC) reply

I was changing it to make it consistent with other headings later into the article along with making it easier to read if someone were to scroll down looking for a specific section. GramCanMineAway ( talk) 05:10, 9 March 2023 (UTC) reply

Although, I do understand why you reverted the edits and will not edit the article again in the way I did without going to the talk page to reach a consensus first. GramCanMineAway ( talk) 05:12, 9 March 2023 (UTC) reply

Hi,

Your edit here: [1], where you added a reference about MSN.com, could have included more information. It would be helpful to include the original source, rather than just linking to the MSN homepage.

Thanks, David O. Johnson ( talk) 17:57, 28 October 2023 (UTC) reply

Sorry, I didn't mean to link to the MSN homepage, if I can, I'll find the article I was trying to link and re-add the source. Thank you for informing me about my mistake. GramCanMineAway ( talk) 18:49, 28 October 2023 (UTC) reply
