User talk:73.75.115.5

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.

I have read what you've written about Kiev. I think some of the diffs aren't great. I also don't know that it adds up to quite all that you're suggesting. That said I am not privy to the preparations of going before ArbCom other to know that it's happening as you suggest. When that happens you can (hopefully more briefly) present the evidence you see.

@Barkeep49: Point taken: please let me know when the ArbCom proceedings start and please add my arguments to the ArbCom case (I agree they need to be trimmed: I'll create a TL:DR version (and will place it on your talk page to later move it to the ArbCom proceeding), and perhaps the full argument could be hidden under the spoiler).--73.75.115.5 (talk) 20:09, 5 July 2020 (UTC)

To enforce an arbitration decision and for disruptive editing in the rename discussion, you have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 month from certain pages (Talk:Kiev). You are welcome to edit once the block expires; however, please note that the repetition of similar behavior may result in a longer block or other sanctions.

If you believe this block is unjustified, please read the guide to appealing blocks (specifically this section) before appealing. Place the following on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Please copy my appeal to the [[WP:AE|arbitration enforcement noticeboard]] or [[WP:AN|administrators' noticeboard]]. Your reason here OR place the reason below this template. ~~~~}}. If you intend to appeal on the arbitration enforcement noticeboard I suggest you use the arbitration enforcement appeals template on your talk page so it can be copied over easily. You may also appeal directly to me (by email), before or instead of appealing on your talk page.

Reminder to administrators: In May 2014, ArbCom adopted the following procedure instructing administrators regarding Arbitration Enforcement blocks: "No administrator may modify a sanction placed by another administrator without: (1) the explicit prior affirmative consent of the enforcing administrator; or (2) prior affirmative agreement for the modification at (a) AE or (b) AN or (c) ARCA (see "Important notes" [in the procedure]). Administrators modifying sanctions out of process may at the discretion of the committee be desysopped."
