Figure changes

I see you have changed the number of countries to have recognized Kosovo in several edits. Correcting figures is good, but those figures have a cited source. If you want to change the figures, you must check what the source says or replace it with a better source. We cannot just trust what a newcomer claims is the true figure (and if the citation remains, anyone checking would restore the previous, possibly erroneous figure). --LPfi (talk) 15:02, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

Also, such changes are not minor edits, unless they are obvious typos. Do not mark them as such. If you have the "mark edits as minor per default" (or whatever, my preferences are not in English) checked, do uncheck it. --LPfi (talk) 15:07, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

Kosovo Notes

Hi PeterSwensen, there is no need to append the Kosovo recognition note to every mention of Kosovo. The note is written to provide easy context for the Kosovo situation in places it may be necessary. If the article covers the topic, the note is redundant, and there is definitely no need to have it more than once per article. CMD (talk) 17:42, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

Kosovo notes (2)

You have to stop putting all your notes on the status on Kosovo, especially when it is not done in the correct way and when there is already a note on the status. You are kind of vandalizing the articles. Crazydude1912 (talk) 17:55, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

Good faith edits are not WP:Vandalism. There is no indication PeterSwensen is deliberately vandalising articles. CMD (talk) 18:12, 2 June 2020 (UTC) Initial commented edited here. CMD (talk) 01:45, 3 June 2020 (UTC)

Kosovo and Serbia Economic Normalization agreements (2020)

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 Arab–Israeli conflict. 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.

Note that I have added ARBPIA 4 edit warnings for any portion of the article bearing onthe Israel palestine conflict, broadly construed. Edits to any such material can only be made by editors fulfilling the necessary criteria one of which is 500 edit contributions.

Thank you for your attention. Selfstudier (talk) 18:18, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
