Welcome!
Hello, Tanper, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, your edit to East-Central Europe does not conform to Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy (NPOV). Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media.
There's a page about the
NPOV policy that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the
New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{
Help me}}
on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

I saw your comment on the Balkans page "slovenia not included in balkans, usually it's situated in europe". Last time I checked Balkans was also laying in Europe :P

Your recent editing history at Croatia shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—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—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for 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.

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding the Balkans, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.
Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

. However, you should read the
guide to appealing blocks first.During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Ronhjones (Talk) 19:05, 22 October 2014 (UTC)

Request reason:
User Seader reverted the page with dubious accusations of "Croatian POV vandalism" and deleted all the progress that has been made in the past time. I reverted it back and explained that if he wishes to contribute or add sources, that he can do so by editing but not deleting all the progress made. He refused to reason and continued to do his own way, constantly reverting progress (for example, I tried adding "Football" section in "Sports", but he deleted it with his reverts, along with other added stuff (mostly sourced)and he actually has more reverts than me (which clearly means he broke the three-revert rule as well, but conveniently he's not blocked). He forces the incorrect use of Czechia instead of Czech Republic and else, which clearly means he's not into making the article better, but pushing his own agenda and than accusing others. Also, what you advise me (controversial changes, etc.) is something he should have done in the talk pages first, instead of destroying past work. This seems awfully one-sided on your part, giving me a block when he's no more (not at all) in the right than me and now the reverted artcle/edit is up there again, which is a result of vandalism which I hope you don't approve. But this block makes me believe otherwise.
Also, I shall add that I noticed edits that Seader made on Central European Time removing Croatia from the list, while Croatia as a country at that time was as independed as Czech Republic and Hungary (maybe a bit less than Hungary) which are listed - (all 3 of them were part of Austria-Hungary). This once again leads me to believe that he's only pushing his anti-Croatian agenda (or is just targeting me for whatever personal reasons he has, but objectivity is in no way present on his part) since he's cleary not interested in bettering the articles, but bending them to his POV. Tanper ( talk) 20:40, 22 October 2014 (UTC)
Decline reason:
Looking at the article history, it is clear you were edit warring, and in this context, I am declining your request to be unblocked. After your block expires, you will be able to pursue dispute resolution. However, my advice is that in your next unblock request, you focus on your conduct, as opposed to the conduct of other Wikipedians. PhilKnight ( talk) 21:03, 22 October 2014 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{ unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
Like this? [1] - Apperantly here lies the source for Croatia being in SE Europe, but when it opens on the page where it only speaks of Slovenia. Legit source?
[2] - This might be the only valid source, but it's not The Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia, but a The Free Dictionary article which just uses it as a source.
[3] - This one talks about Balkan, and then excludes a part of Croatia, which again means it can't be used for making decisive placing of the country, considering for what it is used as a source.
[4] - Ok.
[5] - An US college program used as a source? Really?
[6] [7] - A programme that lists Italy, Slovakia and Ukraine as South East Europe as well. And this is legit to use for citation about Croatia?
And then two "sources" which can in no way be checked, but I doubt them based on the past experience.
As for Slovenia, you also have minus one source since the book speaks of Slovenia as in Central Europe.
Serbia:
[8] - This one basically annulates itself since it lists Serbia as both CE and SEE, which means it can not be attributed to only one claim.
[9] - Just look at the page, and then the same problem arises as with the past source.
[10] - I see no mention of Serbia's geographic location so I don't understand why it is listed as a source.
[11] - here's in english: http://www.vojvodina.gov.rs/en/autonomous-province-vojvodina. Mentions only Vojvodina (not Macva and Belgrade) and does not support the claim it was cited for, just a link to a page.
[12] - No mention of Central Europe, just Austrian Occupation (for meagre 30 or so years). Litteraly every country on the list could do the same (if not more) and for longer periods.
[13] - A map that shows expansion of Habsburg Monarchy, not Central Europe.
All in all, not a single valid source. But I did Vojvodina since it is considered CE by some, but there just weren't sources for that.
I think that covers most of deleted sources. There are maybe only 2 or 3 somewhat valid, but they do not do much on their own. As for the inserting Croatia before citation, this I admit as my mistake since it should go after the citation, but in no way was it intentional.
As for Seader, you stil did not explain his other workings on other articles (hint: CE Time) and deletion of numerous other sources I provided or worked in (demographics), football, etc. Calling me out for PoV vandalism is dubious since I did not focus only one country, but tried to work on the article in General.

If you have issues with the content once your block is finished, please take it to the relevant article talk page in order that other editors can engage in discussion of the content. The process is known as WP:BRD. You're welcome to take your sources to the talk page and discuss any sources you wish to remove: the onus being on you to demonstrate that any sources being removed are not reliable and, conversely, convincing other editors that your sources are reliable. -- Iryna Harpy ( talk) 23:08, 25 October 2014 (UTC)
You currently appear to be engaged in an
edit war according to the reverts you have made on
Central Europe. Users are expected to
collaborate with others, to avoid editing
disruptively, and to
try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. While edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount and can lead to a block, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection.

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Gameplay last issue cover.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Central Europe, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Kingdom of Croatia. 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.
