Extended-confirmed required
It has come to my attention that you have recently started to edit in articles related to Armenia and Azerbaijan. This editing area is under a community imposed extended-confirmed restriction, specifically "Politics, ethnic relations, and conflicts involving Armenia, Azerbaijan, or both—broadly construed and explicitly including the Armenian genocide—are placed under an extended confirmed restriction." Your number of edits is below the threshold for editing in the area, thus you cannot currently edit in articles and content under the scope of WP:GS/AA. Please refrain from doing so, any edits you have done since this restriction was implemented should be reverted, I will take the liberty of reverting wherever it's appropriate. - Kevo3 2 7 (talk) 18:50, 29 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the heads up! Clystad (talk) 18:53, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Please note that this applies to topics related to Azerbaijani and Armenian politics and history broadly construed: edits at Treaty of Kurakchay, Mammad Hasan agha Javanshir, and Sabirabad (city) violate this restriction. In this case, I've investigated the individual edits and find them to be unobjectionable, so I will not be enforcing sanctions at this time, but do not confuse this with an invitation to edit the topic further prior to reaching extended confirmed status. I would recommend avoiding Caucasus and Eastern European history topics entirely until you reach extended-confirmed status, as even nominally-unrelated articles, such as those about Georgian history, could be construed to be relevant to A-A based on their interaction with Russian and Turkish history. signed,Rosguill talk 16:39, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the clarification, since only one of my edits to an article related to the 1991 war had been reverted I was under the impression that the sanctions only applied to the Azerbaijan-Armenia conflict, and not the entire region in general. I will refrain from making edits to such articles in the future.
 * I was intending on and doing research for a major expansion to the article for the Emirate of Tbilisi, which is an article which would largely relate to Georgia and Arab and Persian history, and which only marginally intersects with Armenia and Azerbaijan in passing. Would I still be able to expand this article without controversy or should I stick so something safer and find another topic? Clystad (talk) 14:10, 15 October 2023 (UTC)
