Happy editing! Mellk (talk) 05:37, 2 August 2025 (UTC)

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 the Russo-Ukrainian War. Due to past disruption in this topic area, the community has authorised uninvolved administrators to impose contentious topics restrictions—such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks—on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, expected standards of behaviour, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic. For additional information, please see the guidance on these sanctions. 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 that due to WP:RUSUKR, editrors who are not extended confirmed are unable to make edits about the Russo-Ukrainian War, broadly construed. Thanks. Mellk (talk) 05:38, 2 August 2025 (UTC)

@Silly Lipstick: This applies to all edits, including this one. Please acknowledge that you have understood this. Mellk (talk) 13:15, 8 August 2025 (UTC)

@Mellk:Thanks for the notification. I understand, I will no longer include information about sanctions.Silly Lipstick (talk) 13:35, 8 August 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for acknowledging this. It may be possible to mention certain sanctions, for example CAATSA, but sanctions related to the war will probably fall under broadly construed. Mellk (talk) 13:38, 8 August 2025 (UTC)

Also please note that any translated text you have copied from other projects requires attribution. For example, you can write in the edit summary mentioning that this was copied from a specific foreign-language Wikipedia article. Mellk (talk) 13:40, 8 August 2025 (UTC)

I understand. Thank you for helping beginners. Silly Lipstick (talk) 12:23, 14 August 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you translated text from one or more pages to another page. While you are welcome to translate Wikipedia content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing requires that you provide attribution to the contributor(s) of the original article. When translating from a foreign-language Wikipedia article, this is supplied at a minimum in an edit summary on the page where you add translated content, identifying it as a translation and linking it to the source page. Sample wording for this is given here. If you forgot, or were not aware of this requirement, attribution must be given retroactively, for example:

NOTE: Content in the edit of 01:25, January 25, 2023 was translated from the existing French Wikipedia article at [[:fr:Exact name of French article]]; see its history for attribution.

Retroactive attribution may be added using a dummy edit; see Repairing insufficient attribution. It is good practice, especially if translation is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{translated page}} template on the talk page of the destination article. If you have added translated content previously which was not attributed at the time it was added, you must add attribution retrospectively, even if it was a long time ago. You can read more about author attribution and the reasons for it at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. Mellk (talk) 05:42, 2 August 2025 (UTC)
