[edit]Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Battle of Zavlaka (1941) may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "[]"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.
- List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:
- [[Fon der Olenic]] rushed from [[Valjevo]] to relieve the beleaguered garrison stationed in [[Battle of Loznica (1941)|Loznica] wich were under attack by Chetniks lead by [[Veselin Misita]].

[edit]Could you do us a favour and only add links to existing articles? A few red links (five or less) is okay but those long lists you create are not suitable.

Template:Yugoslav Front (3)
[edit]Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been reverted or removed.
- If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor then please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
- If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive, until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively could result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Continuation of this behaviour will result in a report to an administrator. You clearly have failed to engage on this talk page or the template talk page, you do not have consensus for these additions, and your behaviour is disruptive. Stop now, thanks.

Removal of AfD templates Battle of Zavlaka (1941) and Battle of Banja Koviljača
[edit]Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles, or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion debates, as you did with Battle of Banja Koviljača. Otherwise, it may be difficult to create consensus. If you oppose the deletion of an article, please comment at the respective page instead. Thank you.
January 2014
[edit] You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Template:Yugoslav Front. 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.
Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
- 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; 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. 46.107.88.236 (talk) 22:51, 18 January 2014 (UTC)
Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion
[edit]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. The thread is Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring#User:BjeliRabac reported by User:Peacemaker67 (Result: ). Thank you. Peacemaker67 (send... over) 22:53, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

[edit]Your recent editing history 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. 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. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Coach
[edit]Hello,
- First of all I would like to thank you for your addition of the Battle of Banja Koviljača. That is certainly notable and important event which is now voted to be kept on wikipedia. I am glad I could help there.
- I would also like to thank you for complying with opinion of other editors and removal of redlinks in your last additions to the above template.
- Your addition of the Battle of Zavlaka will probably be merged into another article because, as one editor nicely summarized it, not every war-incident is a "battle" nor is it possible that those battles/skirmishes end in a "decisive victory".
- There was a discussion at Template talk:Yugoslav Front inspired by your addition to this template. It is basically concluded that "the template is a monster with or without the excessive red links by BjeliRabac. To make it more useful, it should be split threefold with every column a separate template..."
- One editor stated "Instead of "prosecuting" him, I advice BjeliRabac to take a coach to find his way in Wikipedia. On the other hand, I will warn BjeliRabac that consideration and advice is not limitless. "
What you did was wrong. You were in dispute with another editor. Instead of reverting all of you should discuss your position on the talkpage. There is a wikipdia policy WP:3RR which was violated.
If you decide to return to wikipedia and continue editing I am offering my help if you want to find your way in Wikipedia. Also, per above comment, please bear in mind that consideration and advice is not limitless so please take a better care in future not to violate wikipedia policies.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 19:55, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
- Mr. Antidiskriminators remarks are rather harsh and he forgot to mention that the quotes are of my hand and were made on Template talk:Yugoslav Front#Edit warring over large number of redlinks and addition of battle articles that are currently being AfD'd. In fact I said that I took you as a new editor in need for some help. So I will suggest that you read Wikipedia:Adopt-a-user and request an experienced editor to be your coach and mentor. Wikipedia is not always easy and some rules and habits could be extremely frustrating. A coach can help you avoid the pitfalls and can help you to be a happy editor. Good luck! The Banner talk 20:19, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
- I apologize. I did not have intention to be harsh. --Antidiskriminator (talk) 21:44, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
- I offered you my help if you decide to return to editing wikipedia, but after this message I withdraw my offer. I have zero tolerance for this kind of blatant incivility and personal attacks. All the best.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 08:57, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
- I apologize. I did not have intention to be harsh. --Antidiskriminator (talk) 21:44, 25 January 2014 (UTC)

[edit]You've been here at this point long enough to know how people don't appreciate violations of the WP:BRD process - it's your turn to discuss this significant, WP:BOLD change on the Talk page.
This is your last warning from me; further refusal to discuss the matter and continuing to revert without explanation will be met with a block. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 08:36, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
- I went looking for any of your other Talk page contributions to see if I was missing anything, but all I found was this edit where you make numerous personal attacks on other users. I understand some Wikipedia procedures seemed to be very unwelcoming to you. That is unfortunate, but that doesn't really excuse your failure to acquaint yourself with them, or excuse insulting people a month later. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 08:48, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
Hello, I'm Mathonius. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Capture of Banja Koviljača, with this edit, without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Mathonius (talk) 16:02, 14 February 2014 (UTC)

[edit]Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Operation Prijedor with this edit, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary.

Categorisation of Battles involving Chetniks
[edit]G'day, the reason I reverted your edits is that there is a subcategory for these battles. The parent category is Category:Battles involving Chetniks, and these battles fall into the subcategory of Category:Battles of World War II involving Chetniks. Categorisation is quite important on Wikipedia, and some editors do not understand it properly, it certainly took me some time to get the hang of it. But in this case your edits were reverted for good reason. The categorisation tree for Chetniks is not terribly complex. User:No such user has rightly reverted your reversion on Srb uprising. Please revert all your incorrect categorisations of WWII battles. You might like to have a look Wikipedia:Categorization. Thanks, Peacemaker67 (send... over) 22:04, 4 May 2014 (UTC)
- Specifically, its chapter WP:SUBCAT:
A page or category should rarely be placed in both a category and a subcategory or parent category (supercategory) of that category (unless the child category is non-diffusing - see below). For example, the article "Paris" need only be placed in "Category:Cities in France", not in both "Category:Cities in France" and "Category:Populated places in France".
No such user (talk) 07:21, 5 May 2014 (UTC)- So, on the basis that the child category of Category:Battles of World War II involving Chetniks is a diffusing sub-category of Category:Battles involving Chetniks, and the fact that you are only on WP every now and again, I am rolling back your categorisations. Please read the guideline on categorisation that No such user has linked, and do not engage in edit-warring on this issue. You have been warned and blocked in the past for not following WP policies.

Edit summaries
[edit]G'day, BjeliRabac. I have noticed that you often edit without an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This is considered an important guideline in Wikipedia. Even a short summary is better than no summary. An edit summary is even more important if you delete any text; otherwise, people may think you're being sneaky. Also, mentioning one change but not another one can be misleading to someone who finds the other one more important; add "and misc." to cover the other change(s). Thanks!

Your recent edits
[edit]Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:
- Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
- With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.
This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.
Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 07:31, 12 June 2014 (UTC)

[edit]Hello, I'm The Banner. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Template:Campaignbox Bosnian War seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. 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. The Banner talk 21:21, 17 June 2014 (UTC)

Manual warning
[edit]You have been warned time and time again to stop adding non-neutral texts, especially unsourced, into articles. The fact that you have been away for a while, does not give you the right to start edit warring and POV-pushing again. And no you start throwing accusations of sock-puppetry around like grass seed. You better stop all of that or face the consequences. The Banner talk 21:35, 17 June 2014 (UTC)

Regardless of your false accusations; You won't get away your childish act.
The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding the Balkans, 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 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.

Disruptive edits to a range of Yugoslavia in WWII articles
[edit]G'day, please stop removing valid categorisations and infobox material from articles. Your recent edits on Pavle Đurišić, here, Jezdimir Dangić here and Dobroslav Jevđević here are disruptive and demonstrate an intention to impose a point of view not consistent with the sources. Please stop. I note you have now been ARBMAC warned. You appear to edit intermittently, but if you return to this behaviour I will be asking for ARBMAC sanctions to be imposed. You do make some useful edits, so it would be good if you could edit within WP policies and guidelines and restrain the extremely poor wikibehaviour displayed above and elsewhere on WP.

We noticed though that when you edited Kosovo War, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page KLA (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite
[edit]Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 02:33, 6 November 2016 (UTC)
