Notice of editing restrictions
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a2/Yellow_traffic_warning.png/20px-Yellow_traffic_warning.png)
Notice: Under the terms of Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Digwuren, "any uninvolved administrator may, on his or her own discretion, impose sanctions on any editor working in the area of conflict (defined as articles which relate to Eastern Europe, broadly interpreted) if, despite being warned, that editor repeatedly or seriously fails to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behavior, or any normal editorial process. The sanctions imposed may include blocks of up to one year in length; bans from editing any page or set of pages within the area of conflict; bans on any editing related to the topic or its closely related topics; restrictions on reverts or other specified behaviors; or any other measures which the imposing administrator believes are reasonably necessary to ensure the smooth functioning of the project.
Prior to any sanctions being imposed, the editor in question shall be given a warning with a link to this decision by an uninvolved administrator; and, where appropriate, should be counseled on specific steps that he or she can take to improve his or her editing in accordance with relevant policies and guidelines."
As noted in the message above, the article Mass killings under Communist regimes is under a WP:1RR restriction, details of which are explained in a banner on the article's talk page. Please discuss any proposed contentious changes to the article on the article's talk page and seek consensus for such changes.
Note: This notice is not effective unless given by an administrator and logged here.--Mkativerata (talk) 06:25, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

Sockpuppetry case
[edit]![]() |
Your name has been mentioned in connection with a sockpuppetry case. Please refer to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Prairespark for evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to cases before editing the evidence page.--PCPP (talk) 16:03, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
Blocked
[edit]![]() | Blocked for sock puppetry You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for sock puppetry per evidence presented at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Prairespark. Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but using them for illegitimate reasons is not. If you believe that this block was in error, and would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text{{unblock|Your reason here}} below, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 20:05, 5 January 2011 (UTC) |
In addition to this block, under the authority of WP:DIGWUREN, you are indefinitely banned from editing the article Mass killings under Communist regimes, its talk page, and any discussions concerning the article. The reason for the ban is the use of a sockpuppet to evade a WP:1RR restriction that you had been warned about ([3], [4]). Please let me know if you have any questions about the difference between the block and this ban (essentially, if the block is ever lifted, the ban will remain in force and will need to be appealed separately at this page). --Mkativerata (talk) 20:32, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
