Need help/assistance

Hi, i was just scrolling around on English wikipedia and was reading articles about WW2 and NDH ("Independent state of Croatia"). I have noticed that a lot of these pages have ultra-right and fascist things written in them like lowering the numbers of people killed (lowering the number of people killed in the NDH and in concentration camps), claiming that some people were of different ethnicity even if those same people identified as a specific ethnicity (for example claiming that Serbs in a specific area are not Serbs but Vlachs or Croats instead). I edited a few sentences on this specific page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serbs_of_Croatia but there are too many articles and too many things which are incorrect and i alone can not edit them all. So i would like to ask you to help and maybe even outright block access of editing to everyone except administrators since these articles on wikipedia are being used as a propaganda tool to misslead and change opinions of everyone but specifically the young people (since they are the ones who use wikipedia the most). I also notices that a large amount of these edits were being done by the same people over a lengthy period of time which just shows that they have an agenda.

Thanks in advance. -A user from the Balkans. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.223.214.240 (talk) 00:21, 29 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Re: What happened?

Well, it's not like I didn't react at all.[1] It's just that having 1/3 of the intro say "A number of his views are considered to be chauvinistic, racist and anti-semitic and remain controversial" - when in fact this carries more like 1/30 of the actual importance for his bio - is not balanced at all. I really dislike whitewashing, but driving a not-so-subtle point home is a flip side of the same coin. GregorB (talk) 21:17, 10 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There's nothing really problematic with the article proper, the sources for that controversial bit are fine. It's just that the intro is really bad IMO, and you are quite correct, it is a matter of what's missing. GregorB (talk) 21:43, 10 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Eastern European 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 Eastern Europe or the Balkans. 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.
