If you believe there has been a mistake and would like to report a false positive, please report it here and then remove this warning from your talk page. If your edit was not vandalism, please feel free to make your edit again after reporting it. The following is the log entry regarding this warning: Doboj was changed by Antchy (u) (t) deleting 7736 characters on 2009-08-26T08:27:18+00:00 . Thank you.

This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits, such as those you made to Doboj. If you vandalize Wikipedia again, you will be blocked from editing. Master of Puppets - _{Call me MoP! :D} 05:07, 28 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Doboj, you will be blocked from editing. • CinchBug • 12:47, 28 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Editing advice

It appears your recent edits have removed large amounts of content. If this was intentional, then I suggest you explain your reasoning either with an edit summary, or preferably on the article talk page. Also have a look at the 3 revert rule. PhilKnight (talk) 13:03, 28 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for repeated abuse of editing privileges. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first.

Unblocked

Hi,

Following your email conversation with me, I have unblocked your account, as it appears that your edits were in good faith. However, My recommendations in the email (which I shall summarise below) stand.

1) Always put a summary of your edits in the Edit Summary box.

2) If you will be removing a lot of text, try not to do it all in one go; do a section at a time

3) But before you do go and remove the text, put a note on the discussion page before hand explaining what you will be doing, and why you are doing it.

4) If someone reverts your edits, drop them a note asking why they are reverting it. If it is because they disagree with you, try and encourage a discussion on the article’s talk page. Do not keep reverting their edits, even if you think they are wrong, or you will be blocked for edit warring.

Seeing the edit you made as User:86.33.46.93, I would suggest that you AVOID using the undo button, as people are seeing this as vandalism. Please make full use of the edit summary (see Help:Edit summary). As for adding sources, please see WP:SOURCE.

I will keep an eye on how you are getting on. If you have any questions, drop me a note on my talk page. As I am not always about, you might get a quicker response on the help desk page.

However, if your editing style carries on the way it did to start with, then it is highly likely you will be blocked again, and I don't think there will be a lot I will be able to do about it. Stephen! ^Coming... 15:57, 1 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

An additional suggestion is: rather than removing unreferenced text (if the references aren't valid), how about trying to find references that back up the text. Also, be aware that just because you cannot access the references, it doesn't mean that the references are invalid. There may be another reason for that.
