Please join Talk:Economics#Updating definition of Economics for a discussion on the definition of economics.

A cheeseburger for you!

I have written a response for you at the economic's talk page. I hope we can get to an agreement. I would like to keep both definitions. See you there. Firulaith (talk) 20:08, 17 August 2014 (UTC)

Yes, Minimax Regret, I've been pushing the "POV" that terrorist attacks by a proscribed terrorist organisation designated as such should be properly included in the relevant category, and it's actually been discussed productively at Wikipedia:Administrators noticeboard/Incidents#DagosNavy and WP:TROUBLES. Thanks for your interest. I'll add you to the relevant AN/I discussion. Regards, Bastun^{Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ!} 12:30, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

Discretionary sanctions for Troubles notification

This message contains important information about an administrative situation on Wikipedia. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.

Please carefully read this information:

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding The Troubles, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.

Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you that sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

Just so you know. Also I would also appreciate it if you stopped following my edits and reverting legitimate edits with dubious edit summaries as vindication, can give grounds for you getting reported for harrassment. Mabuska ^(talk) 11:42, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

May 2018

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Enver Hoxha. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing Wikipedia. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. Dr. K. 19:16, 13 May 2018 (UTC)

Edit warring

You have been engaged in an edit war across many articles. Even if you do not violate the bright line Three-revert-rule on any one article you still may be sanctioned for edit warring. If you make a change and it is reverted it is your obligation to discuss the change on the article's talk page before reinstating it.

I examined your editing history after seeing the thread at WP:ANI and found many of your edits to be problematic. In particular you have been changing established and sometimes contentious wording which often changes the framing of the article and connotation of the text. In other cases you have 'simplified' text by removing details. I have reverted the edits I found problematic and attempted to give a brief explanation of the issue in edit summaries. If you would like more details please {{ping}} ({{ping|Jbhunley}} ~~~~) from the talk page of the relevant article. Thank you. Jbh ^Talk 02:25, 14 May 2018 (UTC)

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 recently shown interest in the Arab–Israeli conflict. 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.

General Prohibition

Per WP:A/I/PIA

All IP editors, accounts with fewer than 500 edits, and accounts with less than 30 days tenure are prohibited from editing any page that could be reasonably construed as being related to the Arab-Israeli conflict. This prohibition is preferably enforced by the use of extended confirmed protection, but where that is not feasible, it may also be enforced by reverts, page protections, blocks, the use of pending changes, and appropriate edit filters. --Shrike (talk) 13:46, 27 January 2019 (UTC)

I have over 200 edits going back five years. The person who created this page has seven edits, the second of which was the page. So if such editing is not permitted, they were not allowed to create the page. I did not edit the content of the page, I referred it to Afd as the documents instructed me to do. The instructions say a notice must be placed on the page, so I followed that rule. Minimax Regret (talk) 20:09, 27 January 2019 (UTC)

The general prohibition applies to AfD as well. The sole exception is article talk.Icewhiz (talk) 20:32, 27 January 2019 (UTC)

@Shrike:, there a reason you didnt likewise inform the article creator of this prohibition? nableezy - 21:31, 27 January 2019 (UTC)

@Nableezy:First of all I didn't checked the creator edits .Second it would be very silly to warn him and would constitute as example of WP:BATTLEGROUND behavior as he created the article before the prohibition and he is not active anyhow as his last contributions was in 2015 --Shrike (talk) 07:04, 28 January 2019 (UTC)

Extended-confirmed restriction

You have recently made edits related to the Arab–Israeli conflict. This is a standard message to inform you that the Arab–Israeli conflict is a designated contentious topic. This message does not imply that there are any issues with your editing. Additionally editors must be logged-in, have 500 edits and an account age of 30 days and are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours per page for pages within this topic. Contentious topics are the successor to the former discretionary sanctions system, which you may be aware of. For more information about the contentious topics system, please see Wikipedia:Contentious topics. For a summary of difference between the former and new system, see WP:CTVSDS.

Hi Minimax Regret, you had been informed about this in 2019, if I see the discussion above correctly. Anyway, it's been a while and you may be unaware of your edit count. It's still below 500 (see Special:CentralAuth/Minimax Regret), so you may not participate in internal project discussions about this topic. This restriction also applies to deletion discussions (AfDs); see WP:A/I/PIA and WP:ARBECR for details. Best regards, ~ ToBeFree (talk) 23:55, 14 October 2023 (UTC)

Alexei Navalny

The page Alexei Navalny is subject to a WP:1RR restriction. I believe this is a violation of the restriction because you made the same revert earlier today. Mellk (talk) 19:19, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

@Minimax Regret. Speaking on the essence of the edit [1], Navalny did publicly apologize about his comments on Georgia [2]. Hence, this is incorrect info. My very best wishes (talk) 02:31, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

Contentious topics notification

You have recently made edits related to Eastern Europe or the Balkans. This is a standard message to inform you that Eastern Europe or the Balkans is a designated contentious topic. This message does not imply that there are any issues with your editing. For more information about the contentious topics system, please see Wikipedia:Contentious topics. My very best wishes (talk) 01:55, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

February 2024

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Vladimir Bukovsky. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. DanCherek (talk) 20:51, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

The page for a long time has mentioned that the government of the United Kingdom charged Bukovsky with child pornography. MyveryBestWishes is removing this information, and he is the one edit warring - he removes this unfavorable information which has been there a long time, and I just put it back. You mention MyVeryBestWishes in your edit description here, he is who is edit warring. You mention dispute resolution, if some dispute resolution person desires to come in and arbitrate this, I am fine with that. MyVeryBestWishes should stop removing any unfavorable information about this Bukovsky, including the UK government criminal charges regarding child pornography charges, which has been in the article for along time.
