Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Battle of Bapheus, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Please read the information at MOS:INFOBOXFLAG and MOS:MILFLAGS regarding the limited cases when flags should be used. Basically only when using them would help show which country different commanders are from. If the flags for the commanders are the same then they aren't used.

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to the Balkans or Eastern Europe, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have an expanded level of powers and discretion in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
follow editorial and behavioural best practices;
comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures, you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template. — Newslinger talk 07:07, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Editing while logged out

Hi there, and thank you for creating a Wikipedia account. Now that you have an account, please keep in mind that "editing under both a named account and as an IP" in a way that is "not fully and openly disclosed to split your editing history means that other editors may not be able to detect patterns in your contributions", and the use of multiple profiles to "confuse or deceive" editors is prohibited by the policy against sockpuppetry. Specifically, edits such as Special:Diff/1267500132/1267535643 should be made when you are logged into your account and not when you are logged out. Thank you. — Newslinger talk 07:20, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
