Note

[edit]

Hi, please note that due to WP:RUSUKR, editors who are not extended confirmed are unable to make edits about the Russo-Ukrainian war, broadly construed. This includes initiating requested moves and voting. Editors who are not extended confirmed may still submit edit requests. Thanks. Mellk (talk) 18:10, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This includes any edits about the war, such as this. Mellk (talk) 12:38, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Please see WP:BROADLY. This would include edits such as this. Mellk (talk) 12:37, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Don't be such a Prussian. If an edit is in good faith, it shouldn't matter. ~< Valentinianus I (talk) >~ 14:31, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It very clearly says: Only extended-confirmed editors may make edits related to the topic area. I am afraid that the restriction includes all edits in the topic area, whether they were made in good faith or not. If you have any queries about this, then you can create a new topic at Wikipedia talk:General sanctions/Russo-Ukrainian War. Mellk (talk) 14:36, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Edits to the RUSUKR ctop

[edit]

Not only you are not allowed to to make edits to this CTOP except for edit requests, your edits have shown a battleground mentality (see this example). I'll ask you stop editing the talk page for Russian invasion of Ukraine or I'll have to topic ban you. Isabelle Belato 🏳‍🌈 11:34, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Asking for a rename and a subsequent rename vote (in which I won't participate) is an edit request.

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 week for persistent editing of WP:RUSUKR topics that are not edit requests, despite being warned multiple times that these articles are subject to WP:ARBECR, and you are not an extended-confirmed editor.. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.
If you believe that there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Black Kite (talk) 19:57, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, Valentinianus I,
Just to make this clear, if after this brief block is over, if you simply return to editing articles in the WP:RUSUKR area, you will probably be indefinitely blocked and that is not the kind of block you can negotiate yourself out of. This matter is not an issue of determining whether or not you are a sockpuppet but your continued persistence in editing in an area that is off-limits to you as an editor who is not extended-confirmed. This "500 edits" rule is a policy on Wikipedia and it's a bright red line that you seem to just be ignoring.
This 1 week-long block is giving you a second chance when it is over to start editing in other areas of the project but you should know that if you return to ignoring the ECR guidelines, your ability to edit will likely be taken away for a long, long time. If you want to stay around long enough to actually become extended confirmed, you need to abide by the rules until you have made 500 legitimate edits. Liz Read!

I wasn't editing WP:RUSUKR articles, I was commenting on their talk pages. I'm not allowed to do anything, am I? Like I get not being allowed to edit related articles and voting in RfCs and rename discussions, but why shouldn't I be allowed to write comments on talk pages?
If that's forbidden why are IP users allowed to write comments all the time? Why is this restriction only applied to registered users?
And what do you mean by

start editing in other areas of the project

? I'm not allowed to edit WP:RUSUKR articles, which is why I'm sticking to the talk pages.

The only edits to talk pages that are allowed for non-XC editors in ECR topics (like RUSUKR) are extremely straightforward, uncontroversial improvements like spelling fixes, updating numbers and statistics using already-cited sources, etc. Anything that requires discussion or for which a plausible objection could be anticipated is something that should be avoided until XC is reached. signed, Rosguill talk 15:43, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
