"Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia"

Hi. Regarding your recent edits to the Balkans article, it was decided some time ago that the name "Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia" (or the abbreviation "FYROM") should not be used in general mentions of the modern Republic of Macedonia. See WP:MOSMAC. If you believe the specific situation at issue requires more clarification, feel free to discuss the issue at Talk:Balkans; however, edit warring — including trying to reimpose this edit without a true consensus for making it (or in defiance of a clear consensus not to make such a change) — will not be tolerated and is likely to get you blocked from editing. See also WP:ARBMAC, a decision by the Arbitration Committee imposing special scrutiny on articles relating to the Balkans. In order that there will be no uncertainty as to whether you have been properly warned of this situation, I am including a standard warning notice below.

The Arbitration Committee has permitted administrators to impose discretionary sanctions (information on which is at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions) on any editor who is active on pages broadly related to the Balkans. Discretionary sanctions can be used against an editor who repeatedly or seriously fails to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, satisfy any standard of behavior, or follow any normal editorial process. If you continue to misconduct yourself on pages relating to this topic, you may be placed under sanctions, which can include blocks, a revert limitation, or an article ban. The Committee's full decision can be read at the "Final decision" section of the decision page.

Please familiarise yourself with the information page at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions, with the appropriate sections of Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Procedures, and with the case decision page before making any further edits to the pages in question. This notice is given by an uninvolved administrator and will be logged on the case decision, pursuant to the conditions of the Arbitration Committee's discretionary sanctions system.

January 2014

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Doukas may have broken the syntax by modifying 2 "[]"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:

{about||the 15th-century historian|Doukas (historian)|the French composer see [[Paul Dukas}}

Disambiguation link notification for January 18

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Doukas, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Ottoman (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi

Hallo A.Gounaris. I wonder why this addition [[1]] is needed in the head of the article. I'm afraid that without a specific policy pointing to this, it isn't really needed.Alexikoua (talk) 19:03, 18 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

	The Original Barnstar
	Not to forget the most important... Welcome to Wikipedia! In case you need any piece of advice just let me know. And don't forget to add the necessary references in your addition as you well did in the Despotate of Epirus. Well done. Alexikoua (talk) 16:31, 19 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
