==Edit Summary Request==
I have noted that you often edit without an ]. Please do your best to '''always fill in the summary field'''. This is considered an important guideline in Misplaced Pages. Even a short summary is better than no summary. An edit summary is even more important if you delete any text; otherwise, people may think you're being sneaky or even vandalizing. Also, mentioning one change but not another one can be misleading to someone who finds the other one more important; add "and misc." to cover the other change(s). Thanks! -- ] 17:45, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

= from Edward Lucas =

I don't want my wikipedia entry to become part of an edit war. And I am grateful for your instant second thoughts about the insulting remark that you briefly posted about my father. But it seems to me unfair that you have inserted a "criticism" section without a "praise". I am more than happy for readers to know that the exile and many other people detest what I write. But shouldn't they also know that the book has been praised by Richard Pipes, Mart Laar, Vladimir Bukovsky, Oleg Gordievsky, Robert Gellately and others? Surely the point of a wikipedia article is that it should be balanced? ] (]) 09:12, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

One small point. Isn't the Exile article footnoted here by Alexander Zaitchik not by Mark Ames as stated? They actually reviewed the book twice, once without having read it (which is the review cited here) and then in another review
http://www.exile.ru/articles/detail.php?ARTICLE_ID=17180&IBLOCK_ID=35&phrase_id=11576
which was by Zaitchik AND Ames ] (]) 09:10, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

==Proposed deletion of Research Centre Free Europe==

A ] template has been added to the article ], suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Misplaced Pages's ], and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "]" and ]). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the <code>{{tl|dated prod}}</code> notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on ].

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the ], the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the ] or it can be sent to ], where it may be deleted if ] to delete is reached.<!-- Template:PRODWarning --> ] (]) 12:38, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

== Edward Lucas ==
Hello Shotlandiya. I'm growing concerned over your attempts to link Lucas to this La Russophobe blog in his article. So he links to the blog from his, and his work has been cited as an inspiration for the blog. That is hardly the most notable aspect of Lucas' life, but its not a huge problem to document that since it is cited. However, this is a BLP, note particularly ], "Content should be sourced to reliable sources and should be about the subject of the article specifically. Beware of claims that rely on guilt by association."

However heinous you may fiend the La Russophobe blog, it is not appropriate to document its transgressions on Lucas' bio. In noting his (tenuous) links to the site, then criticizing it we are implying ''guilt by association''. The critical content you are adding is clearly not ''about the subject of the article specifically''. If La Russophobe is notable, then you can write about it ], but please don't use Lucas' bio as a ] to hang an expose of Russia's critics. ]<font color="black">e</font>] 22:13, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

== Nationalism ==
Re your edit summary in , you might be interested to learn that there is no Baltic nation, and no notable person is arguing for one. Hence, there is also no Baltic nationalism.

Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania have intertwined cultures, shared history, and tend to be on friendly terms -- the Sprat War ended more than a decade ago --, but differ considerably linguistically and ethnically. One of the reasons why EU has been such a successful framework is that it recognises this kind of differences without trying to force member nations to be like each other. ]<sub>]</sub> 18:01, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

== re: Wasn't eant as attack ==

Hullo there Shotlandiya, looks like you got your keep reason in the wrong place again, you should use the talk page of the article, you can get to that by going to the article, and the selecting the "Discussion" tab along the top (right next to the "Article" tab). Admins will look here rather then my talk page :). Cheers - ]<sup>]</sup> (]) 12:33, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

===Restrictions===
Shotlandiya, pursuant to ] and for the reasons given in the AE thread above () you are subject to the following restrictions:
* For six months, you are restricted from making more than one revert per page per seven-day period with respect to any page related to Russia or Estonia, or nationals of these countries, broadly defined. Reverts of ''obvious'' vandalism are exempt.
* For three months, to run concurrently with the preceding sanction, you are topic-banned from editing ] with respect to any page (including but not limited to biographical articles) related to Russia or Estonia, or nationals of these countries, broadly defined. Reverts of ''obvious'' vandalism are exempt.

===Sorry===
Hi, Shotlandiya. Sorry to hear about your editing restriciton. I think that the restrictions imposed are certainly a tad excessive{{ndash}}some of the evidence dug up against you, after all, was from as long ago as 2008...
It is indeed unfair that Digwuren has essentially gamed away Misplaced Pages's fair standards; I suspect that there may be administrators who have been reluctant to deal with him as it is hard to put up with a critical mass of POV pushers (you can see how this sort of problem was discussed by ] at ] just hours ago). At the same time, I note that ] was just blocked two days ago on another technicality. So long as his habits of ] do not change substantially, it is only a matter of time before the hammer does come down on him in all its might. ] (]) 23:04, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

== Arbitration ==

I don't know if you should be listed as "involved party", but you might be interested in this: ]. ] (]) 00:59, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

== Appeal? ==

You might try to appeal against your sanction. Recently, other peoples' sanctions have been lifted because there was no prior formal warning given. I don't think you have received one either, so maybe you should appeal? ] (]) 10:02, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
