User talk:Okrados

December 2018

Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but your recent edits appear to be intentional disruptions designed to illustrate a point. Edits designed for the deliberate purpose of drawing opposition, including making edits you do not agree with or enforcing a rule in a generally unpopular way, are highly disruptive and can lead to a block or ban. If you feel that a policy is problematic, the policy's talk page is the proper place to raise your concerns. If you simply disagree with someone's actions in an article, discuss it on the article talk page or, if direct discussion fails, through dispute resolution. If consensus strongly disagrees with you even after you have made proper efforts, then respect the consensus, rather than trying to sway it with disruptive tactics. Thank you.

Hello, Okrados, welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. Your editing pattern indicates that you may be using multiple accounts or coordinating editing with people outside Wikipedia. Our policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow this, and users who use multiple accounts may be blocked from editing. If you operate multiple accounts directly or with the help of another person, please disclose these connections. Thank you. Jingiby (talk) 10:23, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

January 2020

Hello, I'm Jlevi. I noticed that you recently made an edit to Saracen in which your edit summary did not appear to describe the change you made. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Jlevi (talk) 13:49, 3 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

My bad about not describing it well but I believe the edit was correct. Okrados (talk) 22:56, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Jingiby. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Yane Sandanski have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse. Thanks. Jingiby (talk) 17:17, 17 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Editors are expected to treat each other with respect and civility. On this encyclopedia project, editors assume good faith while interacting with other editors. Here is Wikipedia's welcome page, and it is hoped that you will assume the good faith of other editors and continue to help us improve Wikipedia! Thank you very much!Jingiby (talk) 02:37, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Jingiby. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to National Liberation Army (Macedonia) seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Jingiby (talk) 03:00, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Jingiby, here is the Oxford Dictionary definition of the word terrorism, “the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.". Now it is very obvious through various acts that were conducted by the UCK/NLA that they are indeed a terrorist group. It's even more obvious when you look at their war crimes and terrorizing of civilians. To call it anything less than terrorism would be spitting on the memory of the victims. Thank you for your comments however, I will be reverting your change. --Okrados (talk) 19:10, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Freedom or Death, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Jingiby (talk) 02:51, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Marko Tsepenkov. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
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. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Jingiby (talk) 02:56, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Jingiby (talk) 15:37, 20 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello there Jingiby, I agree that this "warring" that has been occurring over the past few days is unproductive and doesn't really help anyone. I wish to talk with you about a few articles in order to reach a conclusion which is agreeable to both of us. Let me know whenever you want to do this about any of the articles which you have mentioned. Okrados (talk) 21:26, 20 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to change genres without discussion or sources, as you did at Krste Misirkov, you may be blocked from editing. Jingiby (talk) 09:33, 21 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Discretionary sanctions alert

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 Balkans or Eastern Europe. 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.

Please have in mind that WP:V is a policy and is thus mandatory.--Ymblanter (talk) 05:37, 20 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Ymblanter, I am somewhat new to more complex forms of editing on Wikipedia, can you explain what this means exactly? ---- Okrados (talk) 06:10, 20 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There are two things. First, you should be very careful while editing articles related to Balkans. Second, particularly in this articles, information must be sourced to reliable sources. I see that you have introduced unsourced or badly sourced info recently.--Ymblanter (talk) 07:03, 20 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I see,though to be honest, many of the "reliable sources" I saw were heavily biased. Take for example a blog style website advocating for Greater Bulgaria. I saw a citation for that and with a few sentences from there as being presented like fact. I digress however, thank you for your help :) --Okrados (talk) 13:56, 20 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

that's not your decision to make - if they've passed peer-review, that's the determination of an academic scholarly board; btw, "North Macedonia" is now the term for the Slavic Macedonians as apart from the Greek Ancient Macedonians, as I'm sure you are well aware ~HammerFilmFan

About Wikipedia neutrality

Hey, thank you very much! I am glad you understand my attempts to make some articles more neutral, if you have anything to comment about this topic, please leave a message in this section, good day! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Darpos (talk • contribs) 19:17, 20 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Notice of edit warring noticeboard discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you. Jingiby (talk) 04:02, 21 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Okrados. As a result of the edit warring complaint about Theodosius of Skopje, you've been warned to wait for consensus before changing the nationality of people or places from Bulgarian to Macedonian. Let me know if you have any questions. EdJohnston (talk) 01:36, 24 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
