Disambiguation link notification for April 22

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Slobodan Milošević, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Truncheon. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 10:46, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yugoslavism

Hi CanadianWriter. I notice you made several reverts to my edits at Yugoslavism. I don't claim to be an expert on the events of Wold War I though as I have interpreted the sources, Slovenes and Croats who advocated South Slavic unity supported the Austroslavism model while it had been feasible and this was why many held their positions in the Austro-Hungarian army to fight against Serbia. With regards ordinary folk, my interpretation is that the Slavic people of the Dalmatian region were opposed to the Austro-Hungarian campaign against Serbia and those of the continental regions were of mixed sentiment. I'm not an expert for precisely the reason I can find very little on the subject. --OJ (talk) 12:15, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Notification

This message contains important information about an administrative situation on Wikipedia. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.

Please carefully read this information:

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.

Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

In addition, as a result of a recent ruling, all IP editors, accounts with fewer than 500 edits, and accounts with less than 30 days tenure are prohibited from editing any page that could be reasonably construed as being related to the Arab-Israeli conflict.

Copying within Wikipedia requires proper attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Kosovo into Slobodan Milošević. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 15:24, 2 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

How is that possible if the content copied and moved was placed there years ago? Am I supposed to scour through years of edits to an article to find the user who did it? That sounds very unreasonable.--CanadianWriter5000 (talk) 18:27, 2 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
