Since you are a newcomer to Wikipedia, I would like to inform you of our policy on edit warring. Please be aware that edit warring is not conducive to harmonious editing on Wikipedia, and continued violations of this policy (extended edit wars, violations of 3RR policy, etc.) can lead to blocks. At the same time, I would like to inform you that continued edit warring and other violations of policy may potentially result in discretionary sanctions, as determined by Armenia-Azerbaijan 2 arbitration case. As described here, "Any uninvolved administrator may, on his or her own discretion, impose sanctions on any editor working in the area of conflict 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." I'm not placing you on discretionary sanctions at the moment, but given your topics of interest, I just wanted to inform you of the possibility that an administrator may place sanctions against you if do not adhere to Wikipedia policy. If you have any questions, please contact me on my talk page. Best, Nishkid64 (Make articles, not wikidrama) 22:38, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
:This warning was prompted by your participation in recent edit wars on a group of articles such as Erich Feigl, Arash (entertainer), Azerbaijan in the Eurovision Song Contest 2009, which seem to be predicated on ethnic grounds (e.g. denial of Armenian Genocide, Azeri lineage, etc.). I came here with the intention of informing you that continual edit warring and other violations of policy (e.g. WP:NPOV and WP:CIVIL) may result in blocks and/or discretionary sanctions, as outlined by the Armenia-Azerbaijan arbitration case. The policy of edit warring applies to all articles on Wikipedia, while the discretionary sanctions, if placed, will apply to articles in the Armenia-Azerbaijan area of conflict.

::I cited NPOV and CIVIL as an example of other policies, which as a new editor, I would not expect you to be familiar with. I never said you violated them. Your edits to Feigl, Arash, etc. are not simple reversions of vandalism (i.e. it does not meet the definition of blanking listed at WP:VAND) – they're enmeshed in some sort of POV conflict with other editors. If you had been reverting vandalism, I would have commended you for that, not issued a warning. Bottom line: if you play your cards right and follow the letter of the law, then you won't have any problems with me or any other administrator.

{{unblock reviewed|1=I request immediate unblock, as I have been unfairly and wrongly blocked by administrator Khoikhoi for a host of unverified reasons. I also demand a checkuser for myself, as well as the 3-4 editors who were involved in relentless edit warring, pushing POV and vandalism by constantly reverting referenced/sourced information that myself or others placed. I have always provided sources for my edits, tried to accomodate all reasonable requests, explained all my edits, discussed extensively edits on Talk pages, welcomed compromise and consensus, which unfortunately was not shared by some.|decline=I'm sorry that you were disappointed when other users disagreed with you, even after you explained yourself on the talk page. However, other users are not obligated to agree with you. You appear to be at Wikipedia only for one reason, to spread The Truth about your favorite subject. That very rarely goes well. You also appear to be edit-warring to try to force your desired changes into the encyclopedia. That always results in a block, as the warning above says. When your block expires, you could demonstrate that your first priority is creating an encyclopedia by concentrating on articles that are unrelated to the subject of Armenia and Azerbaijan- like sport, music, food, Australian geography, or Korean cinema. But if you're only interested in pushing your own point of view in a contentious subject area, and if you persist in edit-warring, then you are likely to be blocked again.
