Breakup of Yugoslavia

Hi! I wanted to let you know to be a bit cautious when editing the article on the breakup of Yugoslavia, as this article is under sanctions. What this means is that the article will likely be scrutinized more closely than most other articles and as such, people may be more critical of any new additions - some may even remove them entirely. What this means is that you will need to make sure that your edits are very carefully done. For example, I noticed that when you edited the article you made mention of the types of support that the United States was supplying to Kosovo. The issue I ran into was that while the source mentioned that the US was sending troops, it didn't make any mention of the EU Rule of Law Mission in specific. This makes this statement an unsourced claim, which put it at risk of getting removed. I went ahead and removed the part about the EU Rule of Law Mission and made the sentence more general, saying that the US sent people to help Kosovo. This way it can encompass a good many groups of people while also being fairly brief. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:27, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
