Devonian Wombat ( talk) 03:10, 4 May 2022 (UTC)Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Please read WP:NOR. Personal analysis are unusable without sources to back them up. Alltan ( talk) 18:09, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
The website is sketchy but I'm supposed to believe an Albanian scholar isn't biased especially when there are alternative and literal roots for the word "Struga" in all Slavic languages? The loanword entered South Slavic and is called "stranga" in Macedonian not Struga, he is intentionally implying that the Slavic word Struga was loaned from Albanians which isn't true his source says the Macedonian version is "stranga" and look at the current edit, I added that the origin was disputed which it is and presented both alternatives but now it's only the Albanian version? Why I did not come to a conclusion or post an opinion. He knows that if both alternatives are presented most readers will come to the conclusion it's from Slavic "Struga" and his attempts to Albanize the name will fail. But if I add an alternative etymology how I will be sanctioned for disruptive editing???? GoofyMF ( talk) 09:50, 20 June 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.

Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but your
recent edits appear to be
intentional disruptions designed to illustrate a point. Edits designed for the deliberate purpose of drawing opposition, including making edits you do not agree with or enforcing a rule in a generally
unpopular way, are highly
disruptive and can lead to a
block or
ban. If you feel that a policy is problematic, the policy's talk page is the proper place to raise your concerns. If you simply disagree with someone's actions in an article, discuss it on the article talk page or, if direct discussion fails, through
dispute resolution. If consensus strongly disagrees with you even after you have made proper efforts, then respect the consensus, rather than trying to sway it with disruptive tactics. Thank you. I suggest you revert your edits rather than going above 4 RVs'

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Neprošteno, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page NLA. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

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
Albanians in North Macedonia, 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. Thank you.

Thank you for
your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from
Upper Reka into
Reka (region). While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere,
Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an
edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and
linking to the copied page, e.g.,
copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution
. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{
copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at
Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. —

I have warned Albanian 7 about this and I am warning you as well: vandalism has a very specific definition on Wikipedia, and it's not appropriate to accuse your opponents in a POV-dispute of it.
