Welcome!

Welcome, SamiraJ!

I'm Hersfold, and I noticed that you haven't been welcomed yet, so I thought I'd drop you a note. We do have a lot of users, and are currently working on 6,914,331 articles, so things can be a little intimidating... but don't worry! We love to help out, and we'll try our best to make your stay here as comfortable as possible.
Here are a few links I found useful when I first arrived here:-

Be Bold!
Don't let grumpy users scare you off
Policies, guidelines, and rules
How to create a page, edit a page and write a great article
Who, what, why?
A handy tutorial, and a picture tutorial

You should sign your name on talk pages, discussions and votes by typing ~~~~; our software automatically converts it to your username and the date. Also, if you don't want to jump right into editing articles right now, why not check out the sandbox? Feel free to make test edits there.

I know it's a lot of information, but there are two more things I recommend you take note of while editing Wikipedia - cite references wherever possible, and avoid allowing personal biases interfere with your editing.

I hope you enjoy editing and being a Wikipedian - I definitely do. Although we all make mistakes, please keep in mind what Wikipedia is not. If you have any questions or problems, leave me a message on my talk page, and I'll try my best to help. Otherwise, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

We hope you stick around, and make sure you enjoy yourself! Cheers, Hersfold 15:45, 21 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Second Bulgarian Empire

That is a view supported only by the Romanian historians and, like the case of the Macedonians with Samuel of Bulgaria and Alexander the Great, makes no sense. Kaloyan was called by most western sources King/Emperor of the Bulgarians and the Vlachs but it does not mean that the country should be called "Vlach-Bulgarian Empire", or even more laughably, "Romanian-Bulgarian Empire" (there was nothing like "Romania" or "Romanians" in 13th century). And then again, you cannot say that there was anything like Vlach-Bulgarian Empire in the middle 13th century or in 14th century and that article is about the Second Bulgarian Empire, which existed between 1185 and 1396. Therefore, the two names are not synonymous. Regards, --Gligan (talk) 12:04, 2 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

September 2011

Your recent edits seem to have the appearance of edit warring after a review of the reverts you have made on Kaloyan of Bulgaria. Users are expected to collaborate and discuss with others and avoid editing disruptively.

Please be particularly aware, the three-revert rule states that:

Making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block.
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 the changes; 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 without further notice. Laveol ^T 10:44, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Edit warring at Kaloyan of Bulgaria

Hello SamiraJ. Please see the result of WP:AN3#User:Dinner for three reported by User:SamiraJ (Result: SamiraJ notified of ARBMAC) which contains some advice. Any attempt to make Kaloyan into a Vlach would require broad consensus. Since you seem to be a new editor, I am leaving you a notice of the discretionary sanctions under WP:ARBMAC, an Arbitration decision which applies to disputes in the Balkans. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 23:44, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Notice of discretionary sanctions under WP:ARBMAC

The Arbitration Committee has permitted administrators to impose discretionary sanctions (information on which is at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions) on any editor who is active on pages broadly related to the Balkans. Discretionary sanctions can be used against an editor who repeatedly or seriously fails to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behavior, or any normal editorial process. If you engage in further inappropriate behavior in this area, you may be placed under sanctions, which can include blocks, a revert limitation, or an article ban. The Committee's full decision can be read in the Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Macedonia#Final decision section of the decision page.

Please familiarise yourself with the information page at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions, with the appropriate sections of Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Procedures, and with the case decision page.

Allied Intervention in Hungary

The period "which lasted from March 28, 1919 to June 4, 1920" is not just about Soviet Hungary (which lasted approx. 100 days). It does not mean only Béla Kun's regime.Fakirbakir (talk) 08:21, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hungary 13th cent.png

I found the source quickly because I know this map(my own old school atlas contains it too). However you are alright, the 'wikimedia' version is a little bit inaccurate. Maybe I will reedit that in the future.Fakirbakir (talk) 08:37, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your note on my Talk page. Now I understand your concerns. I agree with them. Borsoka (talk) 16:21, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for ban evasion. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

84.2.100.203 is the sock of banned Stubes99, why don't you block him too? (SamiraJ (talk) 12:15, 23 September 2011 (UTC))[reply]

I have placed a range block on a range covering that IP address others used by the same user. JamesBWatson (talk) 18:16, 23 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
