Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Simplified Manual of Style
 * Task Center – need some ideas of what kind of things need doing? Go here.

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date).

Please let me add one very important point: WP is a collaborative effort based on consensus. At Ethnic groups of Europe you restored your preferred version of the text several times, although you were reverted by other editors. Please take a good look at our edit warring policies.

Thanks for your warm welcome. Yes, I edited, you deleted, and then again. I know there's an enormous effort in deleting Croatian herritage all over the Internet. One of the issues is about language. As you can see, there's your page about Croatian language, and my edit is just a link to your page. Check it out - a lot to learn, but it needs the edits. Regards!

 * I was not the only one to revert your edit. If you want to discuss the issue, please do so at Talk:Ethnic groups in Europe. I don't know about that "enormous effort", and I seriously recommend you also read WP:AGF - makes life much easier for Wikipedians. Happy editing. Rsk6400 (talk) 10:15, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

How can one make a list of Slavic languages, without a language which is continously spoken and written for over 1000 years? Life would be much easier if we speak/write the true facts, wouldn't it? Pastoonda (talk) 10:20, 1 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Now there are three users who reverted you. And: You violated WP:3RR. Once again, please start a discussion on the talk page. If you restore your version again without getting consensus there, I'll take the case to the edit warring noticeboard. Normally it is easier to find consensus about "true facts" by mutual agreement. Please note that Serbo-Croatian is already mentioned in the list. Rsk6400 (talk) 18:14, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

November 2022
Your recent editing history at Ethnic groups in Europe shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you do not violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
