July 2014

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at 2014 pro-Russian conflict in Ukraine. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been reverted or removed.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor then please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive, until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively could result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. RGloucester — ☎ 21:48, 6 July 2014 (UTC)

February 2015

To enforce an arbitration decision you have been blocked indefinitely from editing.

If you believe this block is unjustified, please read the guide to appealing blocks (specifically this section) before appealing. Place the following on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Please copy my appeal to the [[WP:AE|arbitration enforcement noticeboard]] or [[WP:AN|administrators' noticeboard]]. Your reason here OR place the reason below this template. ~~~~}}. If you intend to appeal on the arbitration enforcement noticeboard I suggest you use the arbitration enforcement appeals template on your talk page so it can be copied over easily. You may also appeal directly to me (by email), before or instead of appealing on your talk page. — Coffee // have a cup // beans // 17:16, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

Reminder to administrators: In May 2014, ArbCom adopted a procedure instructing administrators as follows: "No administrator may modify a sanction placed by another administrator without: (1) the explicit prior affirmative consent of the enforcing administrator; or (2) prior affirmative agreement for the modification at (a) AE or (b) AN or (c) ARCA (see "Important notes" [in the procedure]). Administrators modifying sanctions out of process may at the discretion of the committee be desysopped."

Note: Reviewing administrator, this is no longer an Arbitration Enforcement block- see #Eastern Europe amended. To editor Russian editor1996: You may appeal this block under standard procedures at guide to appealing blocks- in particular, using the {{unblock}} template. --L235 (t / c / ping in reply) 00:58, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

@Coffee: For clarification, is this a discretionary sanction? Is this enforcing an ArbCom-imposed ban? Discretionary sanctions and most enforcement of ArbCom sanctions by block are limited to one year. Cheers, --L235 (t / c / ping in reply) 04:53, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

Please see the ARCA request linked below. RGloucester — ☎ 04:59, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Clarification and Amendment#Clarification request: Eastern Europe

You are invited to join the discussion at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Clarification and Amendment#Clarification request: Eastern Europe. Thanks. RGloucester — ☎ 23:58, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

Eastern Europe amended

The Arbitration Committee has amended the Eastern Europe case by motion as follows:

On 11 February 2015, Coffee (talk · contribs · blocks · protections · deletions · page moves · rights · RfA) blocked an editor relying on the discretionary sanctions provisions for Eastern Europe. As a discretionary sanctions block it was out of process as the editor had not been pre-notified of discretionary sanctions for the topic. Accordingly, the prohibitions on modification do not apply and the block may be modified by any uninvolved administrator. Coffee is advised to better familiarize themselves with the discretionary sanctions provisions before using this process again.

For the Arbitration Committee, --L235 (t / c / ping in reply) 00:58, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

Notice

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. RGloucester — ☎ 05:43, 22 February 2015 (UTC)

How to appeal your block

As part of the discussion mentioned just above, it's been suggested that you perhaps are unaware that – if we haven't already frightened you away, and you still want to edit Wikipedia – you can appeal your block, and a neutral administrator will take a look at your appeal and lift the block if they think it's appropriate to do so. All you need to do is to copy this text:

{{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}

paste it below, and replace the words "Your reason here" with an explanation of why you think you should be unblocked. If you're uncertain about what exactly to write, you can read the Guide to appealing blocks for more information. If you need more assistance, you can put this text on your page:

{{Admin help}}

and an admin will come by and give you a hand. BMK (talk) 03:22, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

An Invitation

You are welcome to talk about anything you wish on my talkpage. Wikipedia can be a strange place, but it is not unkind. We would welcome you as a colleague. But you must talk to us. We are a community, and would like you to join us, but we need everyone to talk. Do not be angry or freaked out. Send me a message anytime you feel happy to do so. Kind regards :) Irondome (talk) 03:30, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

Unblocked, but important you read the message below

Based on an inconclusive AN discussion, I'm unblocking this account. Not because you did not do anything wrong - you did - but because of a lack of consensus that an immediate indef block was appropriate, instead of an initially shorter block.

Please consider this an indication that, if you do return, you need to modify the way you operate here. It seems you may not return, so I won't waste time going into a lot of detail; I'd be happy to explain if you do return. Feel free to ask me for details. --Floquenbeam (talk) 18:21, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

June 2015

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you. Helpsome (talk) 21:23, 1 June 2015 (UTC)

@Helpsome: This user should have used an edit summary, but I don't think you should have started out with a level 2 warning. A level 1 general note would have been fine. Also, I think this might be considered improper use of rollback as it isn't clear-cut vandalism, and the word "Dictatorship" wasn't even added until a few days ago with this revision.
