Welcome to Wikipedia. At least one of your recent edits, such as the edit you made to Mongolia, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at the welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make some test edits, please use the sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Note: please see WP:ANI where these edits are being discussed. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 20:16, 8 December 2014 (UTC)

You have been blocked temporarily from editing for persistent disruptive editing. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice:. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. - Barek (talk • contribs) - 20:38, 8 December 2014 (UTC)


 * The offsite soliciting of these edits to a large number of Wikipedia articles is being discussed at WP:ANI, to which you were directed prior to your block. Rather than participating in the discussion, you simply restored the content. Thus you were blocked, as have most of the sock/meatpuppet accounts engaged in the disruptive spamming of Wikipedia.
 * On a secondary note, time on Wikipedia is irrelevant - what matters is following Wikipedia policies and content guidelines (again, as is being discussed in that ANI thread). --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 20:59, 8 December 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for removing the temporary block on my account. I realise that our anti-slavery campaign violated the spirit of Wikipedia's policies, and that we will have to use another method in order to get our message across permanently on countries' Wikipedia pages. However, sometimes the moral imperative of a cause is greater than the legal constraints that currently apply, and when this is the case, it leads to people breaking the law for the greater good. History is awash with such good cases (the suffragettes being one such example.) I believe that our anti-slavery campaign was another such instance. I would like to refer you all to this latest u-tube video which eloquently gets the message across. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cnns_ct5c7c A Happy New Year to you all
