Hello, I'm
ReferenceBot. I have automatically detected that an edit performed by you may have introduced errors in referencing. It is as follows:
Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, ReferenceBot ( talk) 00:28, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
As I understand it, you shouldn't overwrite a disambiguation page by an article (unless you can establish a consensus that there shouldn't be a disambiguation page for the given term, which in this case I, for one, don't accept). A better approach is:
This preserves both the disambiguation page itself and its history as a disambiguation page. Anyway, I've carried out these steps so all should now be as it should be. Peter coxhead ( talk) 16:24, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
Hallo Sevt
I changed where I could the name Ligos in Lygos. In fact, in the primary and secundary sources (Pliny, Janin) this is the name of the settlement (and phonetically a "y" is not a "i"). You should also move the main article. "Ligos" is

You currently appear to be engaged in an
edit war according to the reverts you have made on
Names of Istanbul. Users are expected to
collaborate with others, to avoid editing
disruptively, and to
try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Δρ.Κ. λόγος πράξις 19:25, 21 August 2015 (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
Constantinople. 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 lose editing privileges. 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. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a loss of editing privileges. Thank you.

The edit on Constantinople that I added is identical to the one done by Future Perfect at Sunrise to Istanbul. Check this diff of FPaS's edit. Istanbul is an FA article and what is written there also goes for Constantinople. If you have any questions you can take them up on Istanbul's talkpage instead of edit-warring on its satellite articles. Δρ.Κ. λόγος πράξις 19:46, 21 August 2015 (UTC)

Your behavior at List of oldest continuously inhabited cities is completely unacceptable. Many of the entries are sourced, and you are just removing them out of WP:IDONTLIKEIT. For those that are unsourced, the proper thing to do would be to add a cn tag, not wholesale removal. Stop, or you will be blocked. Athenean ( talk) 03:01, 7 June 2016 (UTC)
Please carefully read this information:
The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding the Balkans, 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.
