  Welcome to Wikipedia. Your recent edit to the page Sislej Xhafa appears to have added incorrect information and has been reverted or removed. All information in this encyclopedia must be verifiable in a reliable, published source. If you believe the information that you added was correct, please cite the references or sources or before making the changes, discuss them on the article's talk page. Please use the sandbox for any tests that you wish to make. Do take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Thank you.

  Please be aware of the following. In English, the name of the city of birth for Sislej Xhafa is Peć. When you replace this with Peja, you not only introduce a foreign name (Albanian) which is irrelevant for the time the subject is born and controversial even today, but you are linking readers to a disambiguation page. Click Peja and you'll see exactly what I mean. The Serbo-Croat form of the name provides biographical information for his land of birth and the list of birthplace entities is wholly correct regarding historical accuracy and does not need changing. If you have any questions, feel free to ask here, on Talk:Sislej Xhafa or on my talk page, I will be happy to discuss these matters with you. Now you've been explained these things personally and not in a template sequence, I trust your future edits shall not interfere with the conventional practice of the page without discussion. I thank you. Evlekis (Евлекис) (argue) 20:41, 24 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalise pages by deliberately introducing incorrect information, as you did at Sislej Xhafa, you may be blocked from editing. Evlekis (Евлекис) (argue) 20:59, 24 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

  This is your last warning. The next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Sislej Xhafa, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Evlekis (Евлекис) (argue) 21:23, 24 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

Non-constructive editing on Sislej Xhafa

edit

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Evlekis (Евлекис) (argue) 10:49, 25 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

 

Your recent editing history at Sislej Xhafa shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your 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 don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. -Scottywong| talk _ 20:35, 25 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

Firstly, please do not make stupid edits such as this. I am not a new user and I know the procedure here, there is no requirement to send me part-template messages. Secondly, be very careful with choosing your words ("nationalist agenda"), I observe consensus and adhere to principles. The fact that it is unfavourable to your evident pro-Albanian jingoism does not amount to nationalism or anything close to it. Where your so-called "Serbian" idea comes from only you know. All you have been doing is blanking the individual's country of birth and the intermediate entities. By inserting them we merely give an accurate account regarding the individual's birthplace. Unless you see evidence of an editor inserting "born in Serbia" everywhere across Wikipedia regardless of whether the country in question was Ottoman Empire or Austria-Hungary, your claim of "nationalism" is wholly unfounded. If you oppose the idea of using historical accuracy then you need to launch a project and state your reasons before awaiting replies from the thousands of editors who have shaped Wikipedia over the years. The conquest does not begin with one page; what you are doing is POV-pushing and aspiring to customise one particular article to present it as you wish and with no regard for anything else on the site. The first thing you need to do is use the edit summary when you make contributions and explain what you are doing. You also need to be aware that there are procedures on how to present Kosovo. If it is to be presented as a country then you need to provide the Kosovo-note template as Kosovo does nothing other than hint at the author's disregard for policy and procedure in favour of a pro-independence POV. Finally, you have accused me of vandalism. I invite you to gather your evidence and report the matter to the admins. Evlekis (Евлекис) (argue) 18:02, 27 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hi. I saw your entry at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Dispute Resolution#blockage of new facts and information on the entry of Sislej Xhafa and as an administrator I have declined, for now, to block your account. Do not make any more changed to actual articles until you have developed a consensus on the associated article talk page (such as Talk:Sislej Xhafa among established editors or else you may be blocked. --A.

Another comment about "minor edits": see Help:Minor edit:
  • "Checking the minor edit box signifies that the current and previous versions differ only superficially (typographical corrections, etc.), in a way that no editor would be expected to regard as disputable."
  • "Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if the edit concerns a single word, and it is improper to mark such an edit as minor."
