Hi {{u|{{subst:BASEPAGENAME}}}},

I have noticed that you have recently edited pages related to the Russo-Ukrainian War. Please note that, due to community consensus documented at [[WP:GS/RUSUKR]], only [[WP:XC|extended-confirmed editors]] may make such edits.

When in doubt, please assume that a topic is covered by this restriction. We call this "broadly construed". If this still leaves you unsure about whether a topic is affected by the restriction, feel free to ask on [[User talk:ToBeFree|my talk page]].

This is not widely announced to newcomers, so I'm not blaming or condemning you for not knowing about this. I'm also not saying that your editing has been problematic in any other way. Your edit may well have been perfectly fine in all other regards, yet may have been removed for this reason.

Additionally, Wikipedia's Arbitration Committee has recognized "Eastern Europe or the Balkans" as a generally contentious topic area. Don't worry: The restriction to extended-confirmed editors is about the Russo-Ukrainian War, not the entirety of Eastern Europe and the Balkans. The box below contains standardized advice for everyone.

{{subst:alert/first|e-e}}

This may be confusing, so I'll attempt to summarize it:
* Only [[WP:XC|extended-confirmed editors]] may edit pages related to the Russo-Ukrainian War. Details and exceptions can be found at [[WP:GS/RUSUKR]].
* All edits about Eastern Europe and the Balkans, by all users, need to be done with extra care.

I hope this helps. Please [[User talk:ToBeFree|let me know]] if there are any questions.

Best regards,<br>~~~~
