Hi again. I don't know if I'm putting this in the right space. The template you posted is quite complicated. I started editing Wiki because I found out that there wasn't an article on Operation Paper, and I thought it was significant enough to warrant one. I've created it as a draft, and I don't really know at what stage a draft becomes substantial enough to warrant publishing as a full article. Is there guidance on that somewhere? — Preceding unsigned comment added by ConfusedAndAfraid ( talk • contribs) 02:51, 8 February 2022 (UTC)
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.
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.

Hey. Please note that there is a new general sanction; only extended-confirmed users are allowed to edit articles related to the Russo-Ukrainian War ( WP:GS/RUSUKR). Prolog ( talk) 14:38, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
Please note that the article Aaron Maté is now under a 72-hour one-revert restriction for the next month (till 6 December), up from the normal 24-hour restriction in place for all Syrian Civil War articles. This message is being sent to all recent editors of that article, and implies no wrongdoing on your part.

Please refrain from posting misinformation or disinformation in articles (and their talk pages) about sensitive topics. In particular, you have posted at
Talk:Bucha massacre that ...BBC is also a state broadcaster of a belligerent...
, insinuating that the United Kingdom is a belligerent in the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine (on Ukraine's side). This is patently false. The United Kingdom has not sent any soldiers into the war; the war has been fought almost entirely by Ukrainian troops, with only a few extra troops volunteering from other countries. The United Kingdom has supplied money and weapons to Ukraine, but this is not the same thing as belligerence. Belligerence is a very specific term in warfare, and you are using it incorrectly, perhaps either on purpose or out of ignorance.

Constructive contributions are appreciated and strongly encouraged, but your recent edit to the
userpage of another user may be considered
vandalism. In general, it is considered polite to avoid substantially editing others' user pages without their permission. Instead, please bring the matter to their talk page and let them edit their user page themselves if they agree on a need to do so. Please refer to
Wikipedia:User page for more information on user page etiquette. Thank you.

Please acquaint yourself with WP:NPA. This iquiry is an example of "Accusations about personal behavior that lack evidence. Serious accusations require serious evidence, usually in the form of diffs and links." I have noticed you employing this manner of assumption of bad faith elsewhere and would advise that you to make an attempt to assert more fact-based reasoning in your future interactions.

Request reason:
I was told that it was disruptive and a personal attack to ask a user what their IP address is. I did not do that again after being warned about that. I accept that it was wrong to engage with the Law & Order page as I did, and to respond to MaterialScientist's helpful contribution with a query like that. I was at the time genuinely just curious if they were editing from an IP address, and I didn't intend it as a personal attack. Since then, I made various statements about what I perceive to be general biases within the community, which I think I was within my rights to do. If there are other examples of editing which are disruptive, that have occurred since I asked about the IP address of MaterialScientist, I'd like to be given the chance to address them and improve my editing, as there are a number of subjects on here that I am passionate about, which are missing articles (see Operation Paper) and that have not received attention from other editors. ConfusedAndAfraid ( talk) 06:48, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
Decline reason:
You pressed one user as to why they declined to edit a particular subject area, after they told you they just weren't interested, and then pressed a third party who responded to you as to the source of their interest in replying. As this is a volunteer project, people may edit what they wish, or refrain from editing what they wish, for any reason and they are under no obligation to tell anyone else why(they don't even have to say "I'm not interested"). If you do get an answer, you should drop the stick and accept it. Yes, it is not "kosher" to ask people their IP addresses. In looking at these issues and discussions on this page, I think it would currently be a net negative to unblock you at this time, and as such I am declining your request. 331dot ( talk) 10:11, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{ unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
Hello, ConfusedAndAfraid. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, " Operation Paper".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia
