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.

To opt out of receiving messages like this one, place {{Ds/aware}} on your user talk page and specify in the template the topic areas that you would like to opt out of alerts about. 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.

Please note as well that the current consensus on the English Wikipedia is that the English name of the city is Odessa and not Odesa. Your argument that Odessa is a Russian name and Odesa is a Ukrainian name is invalid and irrelevant because (i) both languages use Cyrillic and not Latin; (ii) we are interested in the English name anyway. Thank you for understanding.
Ymblanter: But reverting changes from article not about city of Odesa. In Ukrainian Odesa really has only "s" letter, and in Russian - two, it's a fact.--H3tm8n (talk) 10:27, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The fact is that it is Одесса in Russian and Одеса in Ukrainian. This has no immediate bearing on the English name. Another consensus is that Odessa Oblast and Odessa Raion are not independent names which must be independently discussed, but are derivatives of the name of the city. If/when Odessa is renamed to Odesa, these articles will be moved automatically. And the article about the city is at Odessa for a good treason, and not because you are the first person in twenty years to notice this. Ymblanter (talk) 10:37, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, I got a relation between Odesa-Odesa Raion-Odesa Oblast.--H3tm8n (talk) 10:43, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
