Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I'm Jingiby. I wanted to let you know that I undid your recent contributions because they didn't appear constructive. If you believe the info you have added was an improvement, please discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Jingiby (talk) 17:51, 7 August 2013 (UTC)

Your recent editing history on Bulgarians shows that you tend currently to be engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. Jingiby (talk) 18:17, 7 August 2013 (UTC)

Please read WP:OVERLINK and stop linking to well-known words such as "Canada" and "English". If you continue to do so your edits will be seen as disruptive and you will be blocked from editing. Also, read WP:3RR which states you will be blocked for edit warring. Also read WP:OPENPARA which specifically states we are not to put the place of birth in the opening paragraph. Continuing to add that information will also be seen as being disruptive and can lead to you being blocked. I have left the article in a neutral state of compromise without any nationalistic claims. Do not revert again. Either add reliable sources or participate in the discussion on the talk page and achieve a new consensus. SQGibbon (talk) 21:26, 19 November 2013 (UTC)

Now that I read WP:OPENPARA again it does not require her to be a citizen of Canada but a permanent resident (which is amply sourced throughout the rest of the article) and where she was located when she became notable. If you think more information should be added then discuss it on the talk page first. SQGibbon (talk) 21:31, 19 November 2013 (UTC)

Middle Ages

Your recent editing history at Middle Ages shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert.

You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

You could present your version in a user page and discuss it. Changes to a featured article during discussion on the talk is not a good idea, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:31, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

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. Hchc2009 (talk) 13:48, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.  only (talk) 14:29, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

Edit Warring..

From your last edit, I note that you've continued the pattern of edit-warring behaviour from yesterday at the Middle Ages. Please stop, and gain consensus on the talk page first. Hchc2009 (talk) 16:21, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

OK, let's see your arguments!--Sumatro (talk) 16:30, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

Look at the talk page. You've been given plenty of advice there but you don't seem to be listening. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 16:36, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

Middle Ages

Hi there. I see you have been in trouble before regarding your editing behaviour at this article. Can I implore you to discuss and achieve consensus at the article's talk page for your proposal that there should be a longer coverage of Bulgarian matters? Can I also ask you not to add tags to a Featured Article unless there is real reason to do so? Thanks a lot. --John (talk) 19:25, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

I'm here to back up what John has said. The article has already received FA status, and is an important article. It is not good to add a banner like that, because, in general, it is an excellent article. The bias, which is clear to you, is to be expected in an English language article on an English encyclopedia.

• Keep discussing it on the talk page. Don't give up and go away.
• It is best not to make the changes yourself, because if they are not written in perfect English expression, they will be deleted on those grounds.
• Adding four images that are regionally specific is not a good approach.
• When adding an image to any article, the first rule is to look. If every image on the page (except the lede image and the maps) is thumbnail size, then do not make your image the biggest on the page.
• Understand, as I have said to you already, this is not about a specific, directed "prejudice". It is about "insularity", a restricted point of view. It is about unwillingness to change or compromise. When a person/people have worked hard on an article, then they don't want to be told that something is lacking, or wrong. I have had a very long argument (which is in the archives of the talk page) in order to get something changed that was about a very well-known (to the English-speaking world) Anglo-Saxon object in the British Museum. So the length of the argument had nothing to do with prejudice or discrimination.

• Suggestion:

1. Start a new discussion
2. Write two brief summaries of the first and second Bulgarian empires. About three lines each, two/three sentences each.
3. Provide references, including page numbers.
4. Put the summaries onto the discussion page.
5. Request that they should be added at two specific sections of the article (in keeping with what is there. You might suggest a change to the present wording in the article.)
6. Leave a request: "Could one of the regular editors please correct this contribution for grammar and style before adding to the article?"

Hello , I am writing you regarding the page ' Middle Ages ', which I see that you edited. I notice that most of the editors there are too sensitive about " Bulgaria " . I am a historian by education, and I lived in Sofia for a while. I see you found more than 30 sources , and all of the sources are serious and academic . I think that the editors there, are ignorant on the subject of history. Their problem is that they rely on biased sources , mostly British and American ( Davis, Collins, Wickhnam ) . These authors describe only the history of Western Europe and generally lead to stereotypes of the Cold War. Many of them say nothing about Bulgaria, because it is uncomfortable topic. I have taught at universities in Germany and the Netherlands , and I know what is it . The problem for the West is that Bulgaria have a too great history . And this is not a some conspiracy. It seems strange, but this is the truth . I see that the editors there are quite aggressive, otherwise why they make a so big problem of the inclusion of Bulgaria in the " Middle Ages" ? I see that words not working there. My advice is to find historical maps of Bulgaria and Bulgarian cultural influence and to get them to comment that. At the time of Simeon the Great, Bulgaria is the largest country in Europe. Cultural influence of Bulgaria affects over 60% of the area of ​​Europe ( Russia, Belarus , Poland, Ukraine , Serbia ... ) . Let's see how these editors will comment this maps ! After you proposed a maps, asking them "Which other state in Europe in Middle Ages was influence 60 % of Europe's area?". There are countless atlases topic. Use atlases of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. This is the highest source that nobody of this haters can to challenge.--195.24.37.106 (talk) 18:03, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
