Hello, please, you aren't helping your cause by edit-warring over that map. We just need to get a better, more reliable version of such a map, sourced to a reliable publication (I'm thinking of some article by Peter Trudgill), then nobody can object to it. Until then, it's probably better to let it rest, don't you think? Best regards, Fut.Perf. ☼ 17:13, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

By the way, I notice that nobody has yet given you the usual welcome blurb, so, well, here goes: :-)

Hello again, just a word of caution, please have a look at WP:3RR, repeated reversions are considered quite harmful and may ultimately lead to you getting blocked. And calling other editors' edits "vandalism" when they are just a poorly considered move in a content dispute is also frowned upon. Fut.Perf. ☼ 20:59, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the warning

February 2008

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for violating the three-revert rule . Please be more careful to discuss controversial changes or seek dispute resolution rather than engaging in an edit war. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below. Scarian^{Call me Pat} 19:08, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Hey

What do you think you are doing removing sourced material and lying about it?[1]Megistias (talk) 16:15, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Rom

Do you think they are actually not speaking a south slavic branch and living in a region that was paeonian and dardanian? They claim greek and bulgarian history.What is your objection? Thats reality.If they understand what and where they are this "macedonism" and claims on neighboring countries may stop.You think they are actually macedonians actually living in historical ancient macedonia? Megistias (talk) 21:31, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Question

Are you ethnic Macedonian? BalkanFever 22:50, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Why does it matter what I am? Polibiush (talk) 22:53, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

It doesn't. Just curious. BalkanFever 22:59, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

May 2008

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Aegean Macedonians. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. Laveol ^T 00:08, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

I've blocked you (48h). This was a very blatant breach of 3RR (I haven't counted exactly how many of your edits count as reverts, but you reinstated the "over 350000" figure at least five or six times if not more.) Fut.Perf. ☼ 06:02, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Per WP:ARBMAC I am limiting you to one revert per page per day for two months, due to your recent edit-warring. Moreschi (talk) (debate) 10:12, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

July 2008

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Republic_of_Macedonia. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you.

Albanian is an official language, as explained on the source that you removed, so please don't remove again the albanian name. --Enric Naval (talk) 17:05, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

Oh, lol, OK, so they made a new language law just this week :) I have striken out my warning, as your edit was actually reasonable and backed by a reliable source. --Enric Naval (talk) 16:55, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

Warning

Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. Rather than reverting, discuss disputed changes on the talk page. The revision you want is not going to be implemented by edit warring. Thank you. --NOAH (talk) 17:58, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

Yes, you're right. I am doing a new map today. Keep eye out Hxseek (talk) 00:47, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Alexander the Great

Hi. If you feel that your case for dropping 'Greek' when discussing Alexander the great is strong, you should make it on the talk page. The wording in the introduction has been much discussed and reflects a consensus view. Perhaps the consensus view of wikipedians is not the 'right' view as you see it but that's pretty much how things are done around here. Thanks for your efforts! --Regents Park (count the magpies) 01:34, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Hey, you might wanna see this article: Argead dynasty. It is directly related to Alexander the Great and your issue.CuteHappyBrute (talk) 03:45, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Bulgarian Canadians

Hey, can you please be more specific as to what the problem with that particular paragraph is? From what I gather, you seem to disagree that the Zhelevo Bulgarian Fraternity was a Bulgarian organization. Given that it was founded in 1907 (decades before the spread of Macedonism) and that its name (which may or may not have been changed, I don't really care) explicitly references Bulgaria, and specifically given that the claim is properly cited from a book, I don't see exactly what you're disputing. The article says clearly that a part of the old Macedonian Bulgarian diaspora in Canada identifies as ethnic Macedonian today and there's a non-Bulgarian source to back that. As for the sentence about villages in Aegean Macedonia, are you actually disputing that the villages are located there, or what? It's not like I have made up any of the content, it's all from the relatively recently published books by Magocsi and Kolev.

Honestly, if you feel like contributing to Bulgarian/Macedonian emigration to Canada, you should try rewriting Macedonian Canadians, which treats people with a Bulgarian consciousness as ethnic Macedonians. You can't write a whole section full of bold claims and errors and then explain in a single sentence that these people were actually regarded as Bulgarians, not ethnic Macedonians. The article I wrote is not the one that needs to be corrected. Todor→Bozhinov 18:23, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

August 2009

Your recent edit to Bitola (diff) was reverted by an automated bot. The edit was identified as adding vandalism, or link spam to the page or having an inappropriate edit summary. If you want to experiment, please use the preview button while editing or consider using the sandbox. If you made an edit that removed a large amount of content, try doing smaller edits instead. Thanks! (Report bot mistakes here) // VoABot II (talk) 17:51, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Your additions to Bitola ...

... were full of copyright violations from various tourist websites. Man, you really, really ought to know better than this by now. Were any other additions you made to other articles also taken from sources like that? If yes, please come clean and remove them yourself; I'd rather settle this amicably than having to go through all your edits searching for more. Fut.Perf. ☼ 14:34, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Sk-art.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Sk-art.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Fut.Perf. ☼ 10:36, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Block

You've no doubt noticed that you are blocked.

This is because a) you have been submitting quite a lot of images which you have incorrectly stated were taken by you or otherwise public domain, b) you have been submitting quite a lot of text which you have incorrectly stated was written by you or otherwise public domain, and c) you have not responded to requests that you explain yourself.

We will consider unblocking you if, upon your return, you can either provide a satisfactory explanation, or convince us that you will not do this again. DS (talk) 14:47, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
