Reminder about WP:ARBMAC

edit

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 the Balkans or Eastern Europe. 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.

It looks like you've last been notified about the existence of WP:ARBMAC in a few years back, and I don't know if the recent communication with AC dealt with that specifically, so I'm re-posting this just in case anything is unclear. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 20:22, 16 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

Dalmatia Talk Discussion

edit

Hello Miki,

You had mentioned “Sources by Filipec, Budak, Dvornik, Sedov, Majorov, Voitovych, Heather... even Yugoslavian historiography.” in the discussion about the arrival of Slavs such as Croats to the area in the 6th and 7th century. Given the other user disagreed and asked for sources, do you have citations or the pages and books of the authors you listed above? Seems significant since one is claiking Croats weren’t slavs at all but Persians? We wouldn’t really know where to look exactly otherwise. It would be much appreciated.

Today will finally have some spare time to make an edit about it.--Miki Filigranski (talk) 22:12, 13 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Bunjevac dialect

edit

Hello, why did you remove Bosnia and Croatia from the intro and only include Serbia and Hungary given the group is found in all 4 and is sourced?

The given ethnic group is recognized and found only in Serbia and Hungary.--Miki Filigranski (talk) 12:22, 29 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

WikiProject

edit

Hi, I see you've contributed a lot to Bugarštica, would you be interested in a taskforce on oral tradition? Kowal2701 (talk) 16:41, 2 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Sure, thanks.--Miki Filigranski (talk) 07:29, 5 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Polo

edit

Hi, it was long established that such a long discussion about theories about Polo's birthplace are not fitted to the main biography, yet they keep coming back. Please cut down to the minimum or I will. Discussions about potential origins 200 years in the past are not directly relevant to the article about the traveller but they should be reserved for scholary analyses. Cheers!

@Tone: take it to the talk page. It is not only about fringe theories. Where it was long established? --Miki Filigranski (talk) 14:07, 16 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Edit summaries

edit

Please do not mention other editors in edit summaries. I know the situation is complex and I am seeing only a tiny part of the picture, but I have responded to a request at User talk:Johnuniq#A small request by removing two of your edit summaries. Whatever the merits of the case, edit summaries should not be used in that fashion. At least one administrator believes the sanction was lifted, see permalink. I imagine others could have a different opinion because there might have been a collective decision at WP:AE that would need something more formal for a successful appeal—I'm not sure. However, please do not bicker in article or user space. If wanted, you could ask for a clarification from the admin and possibly then WP:AE. Johnuniq (talk) 23:30, 18 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Johnuniq: see User talk:C.Fred#Ivan Gundulić. Thanks and best regards.--Miki Filigranski (talk) 00:36, 19 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for the link. I still find the situation inconclusive as the blurb at WP:AE does not seem to endorse what happened, and searching Wikipedia:Arbitration enforcement log shows the topic ban in 2021 but no reversal. However, I doubt people would care due to not bureaucracy and it looks like the topic ban has effectively been rescinded. Johnuniq (talk) 02:07, 19 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
