  Hello, I'm Srich32977. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Ralph Peters seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. The message above is "canned". Please see the Ralph Peters article talk page for a more specific explanation. E.g., just because someone makes a criticism about X, that person is not necessarily "anti-X". Thanks.S. Rich (talk) 02:34, 12 September 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hi, categories have to be verifiable like everything else here on Wikipedia, so we can't add people to an anti-abortion category unless the article contains sourced information about the person being an anti-abortion activist, WP:CATVER. – Thjarkur (talk) 20:42, 11 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

  Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes.

  Before adding a category to an article, as you did to Large-Scale Exercise 2021, please make sure that the subject of the article really belongs in the category that you specified according to Wikipedia's categorization guidelines. The category being added must already exist, and must be supported by the article's verifiable content. Categories may be removed if they are deemed incorrect for the subject matter. Thank you.

Hi

First, thank you very much for the changes you've made! Linking to the RUS Wikipedia was an excellent idea.

However, next time remember to fix sorting as well. I've gone over and changed it so the tables sort probably. I did by adding this part:


! align="center" scope="row" style="font-weight:normal;" data-sort-value="Abdurakhmanov Pulat" | Pulat Abdurakhmanov [ru]

The template sortname sorts by last name, but me removing the template and using the ill template instead those cases sort by first name instead. It is, therefore, essential to add data-sort-value="last name + first name" as seen above to keep the sort. TheUzbek (talk) 19:53, 11 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

Way better, but remember last name first.. Example:
data-sort-value="Ilyenkov Alexander" | Alexander Ilyenkov [ru]

Sorry, my nad... I meant this; {{ill|Mikhail Nenashev (born 1929)|lt=Mikahil Nenashev|ru|Ненашев, Михаил Фёдорович}} produces: Mikahil Nenashev [ru] – the text "Mikhail Nenashev" now redlinks to "Mikhail Nenashev (born 1929)" TheUzbek (talk) 07:31, 14 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

edit

  Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! Rsk6400 (talk) 06:41, 1 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Introduction to contentious topics

edit

You have recently edited a page related to Eastern Europe or the Balkans, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

  • adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
  • comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
  • follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
  • comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
  • refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

May 2024 - edit warring

edit

  Hi Алексей Юрчак! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of an article several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.

All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. Thank you.

Nomination of American involvement in the 2013–2014 Ukrainian Revolution for deletion

edit
 
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article American involvement in the 2013–2014 Ukrainian Revolution is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/American involvement in the 2013–2014 Ukrainian Revolution until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.

Your American involvement... article

edit

Hi Алексей Юрчак. I was going to ask you about how you created American involvement in the 2013–2014 Ukrainian Revolution (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) here on your talk page before commenting elsewhere, but now that there's an AfD, I've made some statements there.

I've looked over your editing and you appear to have a good command of English. Would you say you are fluent in English?

Can you explain how you created the article? You started with a huge initial edit[3], and I hope it's safe to assume you worked it out elsewhere before you made that edit. --Hipal (talk) 17:30, 2 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Many Wikipedia authors write the article in a notebook first. Алексей Юрчак (talk) 23:40, 3 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thank you for the response.
Again, would you say you are fluent in English? --Hipal (talk) 02:47, 4 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
It's not my native language, but I write and speak it well enough. Алексей Юрчак (talk) 02:53, 4 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for responding.
I was hoping there would be some explanation for your editing with your answers to these questions. As you may be aware, I'm concerned that the article was created in part with an AI, or taken piecemeal from a larger work. Using computer translation might explain some of the problems.
Rather than spending more time wondering what may have happened, let me comment on what you have done here on Wikipedia. You created a huge article on your own, on a topic under at least two areas of sanctions (WP:CT/EE and WP:CT/AP), and you have less than 1000 edits on Wikipedia. This is a huge problem, suggesting WP:NOTHERE, strongly suggesting WP:ADVOCACY. Looking at your editing history, ADVOCACY and NOTHERE fit well, and a WP:COI of some sort seems likely.
If you're not here as an advocate, I suggest you stop editing all CT/EE- and CT/AP-related articles immediately. --Hipal (talk) 17:17, 4 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
