*I have checked a few random contributions from the editor and they appear to be constructive and even hardly controversial. If there are specific disruptive edits please provide diffs. What worries me is that the new user has an unusually good command on wiki policies and jargon.

If you have specific ideas who he might be please advise me or another administrator (you might use wikimail for more privacy). ] (]) 05:25, 28 August 2009 (UTC)


== ANI or AE? ==
* Hi Alex, thanks for your reply. She puts small contributions but I found she is adding a lot of unrelevant info by disinforming the people.


Hello, I'm asking your advice on the dispute with Volunteer Marek. Please note that while I'm not a newcomer, I'm relatively inexperienced about conflict resolution on en.wiki. <br> Recently I had ] with User:Boud. The topic is withdrawing my ANI complaint and opening an AE request. At ANI you invited us to find a compromise. While I think that that is both desirable and possible with regard to the contents of the article on war crimes, I doubt we can compromise on civility. But the point is: as a relatively inexperienced editor, I might have misunderstood the standards of civility and tendentiousness that this community deems acceptable. If that is the case, I'd rather stop it here, don't waste my and other people's time, and possibly move to less controversial topic areas leaving the floor to others who have the stomach for this. If, on the other side, I haven't made a blatant mistake on civility and tendentiousness, and Volunteer Marek's behaviours are contrary to our guidelines and policies, or at least they are in a "grey area" where reasonable people could disagree on their appropriateness, then I'd be happy to bring the case to AE. <br> I'm not particularly keen on writing another complaint and I'm aware that this could easily backfire, but it might be worth it: exposing the way they behave and asking AE to uphold our policies might be the right thing to do, as I think that their contribution is quite harmful in that topic area. If in the process I get topic banned or blocked, that would be unpleasant, but not too hard to deal with: I have other projects and interests. <br> So the question for you is: AE or not AE? Your advice is very much appreciated. ] (]) (]) 00:40, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
1st case could be in this article http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Huseyn_Arablinski&action=history and writing comment that ''Seems to fit his personality''
2nd case, writing that Shusha is not part of Azerbaijan, despite whole UN and world counts as this city is part of Azerbaijan. It is questioning country's soverigny. See for yourself http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Latif_Karimov&action=history
3rd case, removing the word "Azerbaijani" from categories about Azerbaijani people by disinforming the nation

http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Mahmud_ibn_Sa%27ad&diff=prev&oldid=310306985
4th case, adding again not notable info, saying Eynulla Fatullayev is kidnapped, actually this stuff never happened to him.
http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Category:Kidnapped_Azerbaijani_people&diff=prev&oldid=310315717


*Well, I might be too thick-skinned myself but I would have let the issue die if I were in your shoes. Find a compromise on the article and forget about some impolite discussion in between. I know ] for many years, occasionally the contacts were frustrating but overall he is a good guy. Anyway it is your choice. We have a policy ] that discourages going with someone's grievances to another forum if the decision of the first one is unsatisfactory. We have a dozen of different forums with intersecting authority and if somebody would go to all of them he or she would eventually get their foe block. I do not see any quick exit out of it. I guess if WP:AN/I decision would not help the problem in a week you can try another forum ]. On the other hand discouragement is not forbidding I guess you can drop a notice to ] maybe with a link to ] and ask if they think the issue is covered by ] - the arcom decision that sets simplified blocking policy for the tendentious editing in the area of Eastern European and Balkan issues. This is your choice ] (]) 03:32, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
This user is previously warned by ] for adding speedy deletions to Azerbaijani!!
*:Thank you for the explanation and advice. I thought about it and decided to follow your suggestion: I will not pursue the matter further. In fact, I agree that WP:FORUMSHOP clearly applies to a case as this one. Out of inexperience I might have made a wrong decision about the best venue for addressing my quarrel, but VM cannot be burden with my procedural mistakes, and that would also be unfair to the editors who commented at AN/I. I should have followed Boud's advise immediately and asked to transfer the case at AE. However, I think that that mistake of mine will not prevent me from opening an AE request in case of future behaviours by VM that I deem disruptive or uncivil. If and when I will raise a case at AE, I will share a link to the discussion at AN/I, and I will hope that that doesn't fall under WP:FORMUSHOP. Thank you again for your time and consideration. ] (]) (]) 11:25, 24 June 2022 (UTC)

== Biophys ==

I need a third opinion about this. As I've explained at ], Biophys has once again reverted the lead section to his favourite version, a version that is '''OVER A YEAR OLD'''. I have criticised this version of the lead many times, made dozens of improvements on it (along with other editors), yet Biophys decides to ignore all this. Again, the version he reverted to is ''over a year old''.

I hate to say this, but this isn't the first time Biophys performs a wholesale revert of something to his favourite version (regardless of how old that version might be.) He has done this many times on the apartment bombings article, and also on ] as well, for example. Could you please give him a warning that such behaviour is not acceptable? I think this is a clear case of ]. Constantly reverting to a year old version is completely unacceptable. If you don't want to do anything about this, can you at least please give me advice on what to do about this? He seems to be doing this ''over and over again''. ] (]) 05:02, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

:Hi Alex. Thank you for your participation in discussion. I would like to cooperate on various issues as much as possible, and I do not mean only this article. And in fact, I have been cooperative by not editing certain articles. But if others even on relatively minor issues, then what can I do? Any good advice from you would be very welcome. Thanks, ] (]) 19:38, 12 September 2009 (UTC)


I can confirm that Biophys is a disruptive user who too often refuses to continue discussing issues and just reverts, which results in edit warring.
His reverts are often sneaky; he writes one thing in the edit summary but does another, usually entirely reverting the article to his version.

For example, he reverted to his version from Nov. 3, 2008! As you can see the versions are exactly the same (31 intermediate changes deleted). He hoped that no one would notice, and it worked until this week.

Talking to him proved a waste of time, as he would pretend to try, but then stop and continue to revert to his POVed version.

If you look at the and pages of the Soviet human rights article, you can easily see what I mean.

Why should such users go unpunished? -] (]) 00:03, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Biophys did it again: . It's the same version as before, only one sentence is altered (this is typical of Biophys: he tries to disguise his wholesale reverts as "compromise versions", which contain only a nominal change.)

==Abkhazia==
] (]) 06:01, 14 September 2009 (UTC)I am a new user but very well aware of Misplaced Pages's rules and guidelines. I am in the process of rectifying several misleading and false statements on the Abkhazia page in Misplaced Pages. However, in the middle of my cleanup I was sent a message by you informing me that I have not bothered to leave links for my alterations. Please be aware that I am not yet finished and I can easily supply links that will support my edits. Please revert my editions back to what they were. I would greatly appreciate it. With kind regards, CircassianKama
*Well, your edits appear to be POV pushing. You are blanking a lot of referenced relevant info, change the neutral name Sukhumi into non-neutral Sukhum as well as introducing unreferenced or poorly referenced info. Remember that the status of Abkhazia is a subject of controversy, most countries consider it as a part of Georgia ] (]) 06:10, 14 September 2009 (UTC)


] (]) 06:17, 14 September 2009 (UTC) Oh, I see. Basically I cannot just leave the window open and add information without immediately including the links backing up this information. Is this correct? If so, then this is no problem. I understand that the issue of Abkhazia is a sensitive one, but no more sensitive than Taiwan, in my opinion. Furthermore, while I understand that Misplaced Pages strives for neutrality, I do not understand how pandering to the American/Georgian POV of Abkhazia will be considered a neutral point. Can we at least please allow BOTH POV's to be highlighted? I really regret seeing politics play a part in displaying accurate information here. Ah, you may smirk at this comment, but we can certainly try to prove or disprove "popular opinions" through accurate displaying of information (with links, of course) to back our sources up.

Cheers.

] (]) 06:22, 14 September 2009 (UTC)Why was my Gia Karkashvili link removed? Also, how is the Confederation of the North Caucasian states "self-styled"? Do you not see this as a rather prejudiced choice of words? I also want to know what terms that Youtube video of a Georgian general threatening to exterminate the entire Abkhaz nation violated. This article is attempting to show the Abkhazian people in an extremely unflattering and negative light. The Georgian army was the one to invade Abkhazia proper after they asked for basic and equal rights and broader autonomy, which (surprise, surprise) the Georgians are FINALLY offering today. Furthermore, the "ethnic cleansing" issue is well disputed and this can be proven as well. That is where my Karkashvili video comes into play. I guess it's ok if a Georgian writes about a mad Abkhaz murdering innocent Georgians, but when it comes to showing that the opposite did occur (and with documented proof), this is going against "POV"?? PLEASE, explain this.

] (]) 07:39, 14 September 2009 (UTC)I am also reading through the entire article at length, and find several, several inconsistencies. I have articles and links which can disprove much of this information. Why is Misplaced Pages biased? If you are not biased, then why not allow me to contribute and show readers that there is more to Abkhazia than what pro-Georgian sources depict? I am disappointed that much of my contributions were deleted, especially the ones to which I DID add links to verify their content. This is not democratic and correct by any means. I hope that you will reply to me in due time and let me know what is your justification for these decisions. I respectfully request that you answer my inquiries. This is not good at all. You are blatantly displaying incorrect and incredibly biased information about my country of origin.

] (]) 07:45, 14 September 2009 (UTC)In addition, I find these maps at fault as well. We have in our possession several accurate historical maps taken from several historical archives, museums, and texts from around the world which clearly depict Abkhazia as a sovereign state in the past. We also would like these maps to be posted on the page. I guess the main question here is this, Mr. Bakharev: who do you wish to aggravate more: Abkhazians and their supporters (this page is about ABKHAZIA by the way) or Georgians and their supporters (by the way, it is well known in Russia that Stalin commissioned writers to revise their historical texts, again a notion that can proven with links).

Misplaced Pages should not play favorites and should not be getting involved in political issues. I request that my comments be regarded or if anything that we are allowed to create a page on this site that we can display our information on and that would not conflict with what the current status quo displays. Thank you, and by no means do I wish to be disrespectful, but you surely do understand my grievances and annoyance towards this situation.

] (]) 13:23, 15 September 2009 (UTC)Mr. Bakharev, I have patiently waited for answers from you regarding my questions above. Can you reply to me, please? Or am I to assume that you cannot or will not? I do feel that my questions warrant a reply from Misplaced Pages and those who represent it. I do not understand why my edits cannot be accepted in the Abkhazia page, as they are also verifiable and portray a stronger view of what the Abkhazians (whose land is at the root of this dispute) themselves feel about their OWN territory. Thank you.

] (]) 02:36, 16 September 2009 (UTC)Mr. Bakharev, I have noticed that not only factual information about the Georgian invasion of Abkhazia was removed, but pro-Georgian information replaced it. Why was my entry about Gia Karkashvili deleted? Is it fair that this article clearly shows a pro-Georgian sentiment and the Abkhaz side is barely explained, if at all? I have yet to see a response from you. This is one of the most illogical, irresponsible, and unethnical sites I have come across. How can you allow such drivel to be posted about Abkhazia, clearly from a Georgian propoganda-driven perspective, yet not allow Abkhazians themselves to explain their side of this conflict?!?!?! Are you kidding me?!?! Do I need to take this matter to a higher up? Now I do feel like being rude because it is clear you do not care about rectifying this matter. If you are busy with other issues, I understand. But this is not cool at all.....definitely not cool.

] (]) 17:07, 16 September 2009 (UTC)Why is it that you can respond to other issues, but not mine? I can see now that it is not due to inability to not log on the Internet. I expect a proper response from you regarding why misinformation, propoganda, and drivel are allowed to be displayed on this page.

== Your message ==

I have on my talk page. Nonetheless, perhaps you could give some answers here to the following questions -

*1) In what way is the ] page related to the ArbCom decision about ] and ]? Beyond a simple assertion that it is, please.
*2) Do you think it is acceptable to imply that a prominent Jewish academic is an anti-Semite and Nazi, and possible holocaust denier, on their Misplaced Pages page?
*3) If someone tries to deal with the issue referred to at point 2), should any edit they make be randomly reverted, on the basis simply of the assertion made by one passing editor, as referred to at point 1)
*4) If said editor does pass, might it not be better for them to actually dig a little deeper and look at the underlying issues, which would appear to be fairly serious?

Cheers, again, --] (]) 23:14, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

:Greetings, Nick. Below are the answers to your questions:
:1) According to the ] page he was a prominent political writer on Palestine, violations of the human rights by Israeli government as well as a researcher in the Organic Chemistry field. You were editing (in fact blanking) part related to his political writings, not his achievements as a chemist. As such it is certainly related to Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the topic you are restricted from participation. The main reason you were not blocked but warned is because you might in good faith believe that you are not violating your Arbcom decisions
:2) The information on the talk page is referenced to apparently reliable sources. It looks like there is a significant part of the users supposrting POV that the information is important. Usually, we do not establishing neutrality by censoring the information but rather providing facts and arguments supporting both sides.
:3) I am not sure I have got your point. Blanking of referenced information require strong arguments on the talk page, otherwise it should be indeed reverted.
:4) I am sure that if the issue is indeed serious then somebody who is not bound by Arbcom restrictions would make a strong point arguing towards the blanking of the info. I would not recommend you to press the matter onwiki since your restrictions (I hate then people are restricted from talk pages but it was not my decision) ] (]) 05:15, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

::Well, in response to the response ..

:::1) I think most of the criticism that is/has been aimed at him was as much a consequence of his writings on Judaism rather than anything specifically about the Arab-Israeli dispute. And I'm not making any comment about whether anything he says - about chemistry, Judaism, contemporary Middle East politics or his favourite brand of chocolate bar - is right or wrong, I'm simply asserting that WP should not be relying on innuendo to suggest anyone is an anti-Semite, a Nazi or whatever - for whatever reason, unless they obviously are. The intention of the ArbCom restrictions was not to exclude involvement on any page that might have a vague link at some point to the dispute - that way I and everyone else who was scooped up in it would be barred from around 90% of pages here. Tanks? Used in the 1967 war. Jimmy Carter? Brokered the Camp David Accords. Olives? Palestinian olive trees are regularly uprooted by the Israeli army. Etc etc. The point of the ruling in respect of this sort of page was that none of us could edit at them where and when they did deal specifically with the conflict. You may or may not be aware that when another banned editor started extensively editing a page which is probably far closer to being caught in the ban itself, and furthermore took out material relating very directly to Israel, they were to be acting within the bounds of the ruling. The problem is that wherever you draw a line, there is always somewhere just the other side of it.

:::2) Just because something can be sourced, it doesn't mean it has to be or should be included in an encyclopedia entry. There's all sorts of other thresholds to cross of course, about reliable sources, the relevance and significance of the material, due weight & neutrality, ] for article subjects who are still alive etc. If they want an article to say something pointlessly negative (or positive) about someone or something, any determined editor can usually find something online to chuck in, and argue that "no, I'm not saying it, Misplaced Pages's not saying it - we're just saying that so-and-so said it". That way Misplaced Pages just gets used as an echo-chamber for every real world smear campaign. Can you imagine what pages here about most politicians, or any vaguely controversial figures, would look like if we just shovelled in every sourced quote of criticism, however vitriolic, from every one of their political opponents? And then "balanced" it by including every sycopantic quote we could cull from the opposing view?

:::3) You reverted solely on the basis that I was banned from editing the article, according to your edit summary. That's simply an assertion, and a highly questionable one at that, as noted above. You didn't mention any issues with blanking per se, at least initially.

:::4) You would hope so, but unfortunately my experience is that people tend to hold out for this kind of thing to be kept. Plenty of editors in the past (and more recently) have taken issue with this material, but all it takes is for one or two others to veto any claim of consensus on the point, and once it gets in, it's never taken out.

I have to ask you this and I'm going to trust that you answer this truthfully. Whom, in addition to Arb Com, did you give access, either directly or indirectly, to this purported "archive"? In your statement at ANI you said "I could provide it to any administrator I trust". Which ones?

Was there any others in addition to "administrators you can trust"?] (]) 19:37, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
* I sent the link to the Arbcom mailing list, 10 minutes prior to this I had given the link to a former Arbitrator as he requested additional info about my AN/I posting. That is all the people I have given the link. It is dead now. On the other hand I have an impression that many more people have received the link and downloaded the files. I guess that either the downloader him/herself shared the link with other people or they know a tool that allow search Rapidshare files. Later ] requested a copy of the archive. He is an admin who I trust and he has a legitimate business related to those archives so I intend to honor his request (I am actually in process of sending the archive to him).

I think that investigating of this document by a few trusted officers of the volunteer organization that may help to make the atmosphere more constructive and clear a few people from the libel is worth the very limited violation of privacy it might caused. I have spent a lot of my personal time trying to establish a productive atmosphere comfortable for all productive editors having different political views. I helps all sides to be aware of the arguments of their opponents instead of censoring it.

Still, these were private emails - even if they were fake, they purported to be private emails - and whatever their content you had (have) no right to share them with others without my explicit permission.

Secondly, it is a porn list and I clicked on about 8 items listed there at random and none of them show a connection to porn. You even have an arctic museum listed there and several living people without porn connections. This is a SERIOUS BLP issue. Please fix this function (getting it approved if it's not) quickly or remove the function, otherwise, I'll have to block the bot and deflag it. <span style="font-family:Verdana,sans-serif"> — ] • ] • </span> 20:52, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

I need some advice on how to deal with a serial POV pusher. If you take a look at the edits of {{userlinks|Gazpr}}, you will notice that he is doing many POV-pushing edits. His agenda appears to be to portray ] as an evil organization who wants to take over Europe. He created a POV-fork of ] and started inserting links to it everywhere. In addition, he made this tendentious edit to ] with the obvious aim of portraying him as a minion of the Kremlin. The edit is totally ], against ] and probably against ]. According to this user, even nuclear energy is just "a way to reduce Europe's alarming energy dependence on Gazprom and the Kremlin". He has also made this disruptive edit, to redirect a valid link to his POV-fork article: . I've asked him to stop, and said that I see his edits as very tendentious, but he has not responded and is still continuing his POV pushing.

I've reverted some of his edits, but I need advice on what to do (I think most of his edits should be reverted per our neutrality policy; should I do it?) What should I do if he continues and does not respond to any messages? The account was created on 23 September, and it's unlikely this is his first Misplaced Pages account. ] (]) 02:27, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

== Baiting and luring ==

If and when you have the time, please read this:
]

Sander Säde is trying to lure me into the belief that he is the whistleblower, whom I called a "rat". He is even "accepting" my invitation to the whistleblower to come to Belgium and get some beer. Note that I had already warned him what his words meant.

The problem is that Vecumbra deleted my explanation at Sander Säde's talk page with the words "Dictionary definitions of "rat" consitute harassment, if you have something constructive to say, say it at the case".

If this is not baiting, I do not understand Misplaced Pages anymore. And it appears to be done in concertation. What should I do about it? From Vecumbra's words one would think that they actually want me to put it up as evidence at the present arbcom case and then start to accuse me of harassing Sander. While he is the one who came to my talk page, he told me "all the best" and of course it is as plain as daylight that I never called '''him''' a rat.--] (]) 01:03, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

: There is no context in which '''providing a detailed listing of the dictionary definition of "rat"''' is a good faith dialog. I have many pages on my watchlist including the one in question. My request was simple, dialog regarding the case should happen at the case. "Concertation?" No, I have stated numerous times I check WP often when I can. The next time you have an accusation to make against me, do the courtesy of notifying me. ] ]</font> 01:36, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

:Look, I can now fully understand the logic behind my not inserting my image in military related articles.

What I do mind is what I consider a personal vendetta/witch-hunt which ], who voted against the Tony Santiago article (which is fine), has taken against my person as evidenced by his dedication to making sure that every photo or mention of me in Misplaced Pages is eliminated ]. These are not random acts of editing, he has taken it to a personal stage and no one has done anything nor told him to put an end to it. Tell me, YellowMonkey, what is wrong with posting an image taken of myself with a notable person? Is it against policy? If so, then provide the evidence and I myself will proceed to delete the images myself. Why not discuss the changes to be made in articles before doing them as is expected by Wiki norm by established editors?

Hello @], please can you creat with your bot the section New articles in the portal of ]?
Hello Alex. I'm thinking of notifying at least one editor at ] about ]. I've been trying to persuade people to obey the 1RR restriction on that article. Two editors have had to be personally reminded, and between them they have been adding a lot of steam to the war. (There are also some cool heads working there). The other article that is under a 1RR restriction is ]. An article ban for either one or two individuals for three months would probably restrain the bulk of the problem. Per Digwuren's discretionary sanctions, any admin can invoke such bans but I'd also like to know your opinion. Thanks, ] (]) 01:32, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

Go ahead and try them. ] (]) 02:17, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
:*Thanks for your comment. The issue is that both of these editors have been personally warned, and both have broken the 1RR at various times. So far each one has self-reverted on request. The editor who is the one most deserving of admin action broke the 1RR on August 4, 6, 9, 10, September 5 and October 26. He is still a prolific reverter of others' contributions. So the lesson has not really registered in his case. The question is what to do next, if you believe there is a stigma associated with Digwuren. ] (]) 03:19, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

== Privacy issues in Russian Misplaced Pages ==

The last time you stated that discussing ruwiki issues here is not permissible and even not helpful for enwiki. This is obviously wrong because even a comparison might be helpful. I am curious how the following situation would be resolved in enwiki. Ruwiki users Yaroslav Blanter, Mstislavl and DR are demanding that the Arbitration Committee candidates which seem suspicious to them (not all, just the ones they selected) undergo mandatory checkuser inspection. Moreover, they demand that the suspected individuals appear at a wiki-meeting where they could be photographed. To me these requests seem outrageous and harmful for Misplaced Pages's reputation. What is your opinion? What would happen in enwiki if someone started such intrusions into the users' privacy? ] (]) 13:26, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

I am in the process of hatching an article on Mary Ansell who was hanged in July 1899 for poisoning her sister for insurance money. I note that there was a previous stub back in 2006 which was deleted by you - any info on that please.
Her notabity lies in her extreme youth (22, the youngest woman to hang, post-1865 reform) and the genuine concerns about her ability to be held criminally responsible (most of her brothers and sisters had been declared insane)...

==Bot suggestion==
Hi, Alex! Long time no see :)

I have a question/suggestion about the bot. I've been observing it for quite a while now, and I must say its accuracy is nothing short of amazing (at least for WP:RUSSIA). I was wondering if it would make sense for a bot to do one more useful thing&mdash;namely project tagging. If the bot could just add {{tl|WikiProject Russia}} to the talk pages of all new articles, it'd greatly facilitate the assessment process. Finding tagged but unassessed articles is never a problem, but finding untagged articles is slow, tedious, and far from reliable. Having a bot add empty tags would place the corresponding articles to the "unassessed" category, where they can then be dealt with appropriately. Of course, the tagging feature would need to be switchable, so the projects for which the bot accuracy is still not too good would not be flooded with the flow of inaccurate tagging. This would probably help weeding out some junk at the same time. What do you think? Is that feasible?—]&nbsp;•&nbsp;(]); 17:10, January&nbsp;4, 2010 (UTC)

:Hi, Ëzhiki! Happy holidays, nice to see you.
:I have thought about an automatic tool to paste project notices too. In fact I do not particularly like the idea of using it by the NewArtBot. The bot makes plenty false positive and false negatives and we have a huge backlog in assessments anyway. Maybe it is better to use the categories for making decision. E.g. most of the descendants of ] should be automatically added to the project. A potential problem I that some branches should not be followed. E.g ] is a subcat of ] that is a subcat of ] but adding all the zillions of WW2 articles to wikiproject Serbia would be a disaster. I propose the following algorithm for bot's actions: for each project there are three lists of categories: Automatic Addition, Proposed for Automatic Addition, Not follow. The bot automatically adds each article from the first list into the Project. The bot also adds each subcat not already in the lists into the "Proposed for Automatic Addition". Then it could be either added there or to "Not follow". The list manipulations allow easy build of the complete up-to-date "Automatic Addition" category lists in a few iterations and prevent the potential disasters. The categorization is better to be done manually to prevent embarrassing mistakes ] (]) 06:15, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
::On second thought, I think you are right that using NewArtBot for project tagging isn't such a great idea after all&mdash;the more specialized the bots are, the better, and with addition of assessments the bot tasks are going to be all over the place. Plus, another issue I have not thought of is the matter of the articles which have already been tagged and assessed since being created&mdash;adding another WP:RUSSIA tag to a page that already has one isn't exactly helping anybody, and detecting whether another tag already exists isn't always as easy as it sounds.
::On the other hand, I think your category drilling suggestion might be a neat idea; providing that the tagging of the categories is indeed done manually. I can help with weeding the cats alright, but do you think you would be able to program a bot to go through the category articles and tag them accordingly (the problem of detecting whether a tag is already in place still remains, though)? If so, it would perhaps be prudent to write a completely separate bot for that task...—]&nbsp;•&nbsp;(]); 15:17, January&nbsp;6, 2010 (UTC)
:::Regarding identification of the already tagged articles. Am I right that the source of any tagged article includes either {{tl|WikiProject Russia}} or one of the redirects to the template? Thus, matching a regular expression like \{\{\s*(wp|wikipediaproject)\s*russia (just checked ) should be a pretty good test? Or the template can be substituted? ] (]) 23:32, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
::::Yes, the templates include {{tl|WikiProject Russia}}, (unrecommended) {{tl|WPRUSSIA}}, and (deprecated) {{tl|WikiProject Russian history}}. All three may or may not have various parameters. I don't really know why it's much of a problem to detect whether one of these are already present; I just remember someone trying to do a similar thing with the assessments and running into unspecified problems with detecting the tags. On the other hand, even if, say, 10% of talk pages are ignored and skipped due to those problems, tagging the rest will still be quite helpful. Come to think of it, most (although definitely not all) of the talk pages for the new articles are going to be red; even dealing with just those pages would be tremendous help.—]&nbsp;•&nbsp;(]); 14:20, January&nbsp;7, 2010 (UTC)

* I have removed the header from the search page. Actually the bot keeps every line on the search page intact unless it is started by star (*) character. Thus, you can do almost anything with decorations of the page. Just keep in mind that the bot adds new material above the first line that starts with star or to the bottom of the page if no entries present. The only problem with this arrangement I have had so far is that if all the entries are archieved then the new ones are added to the bottom causing the decorations intended for the bottom to stick to the top (it happens if the bot is inactive for a week). Also the bot updated the search page by the following algorithm: it slurps the source code of the page, reads the newly found entries from an internal file, removes the duplicates, inserts the newly found entries, writes the updated page. If you are trying to edit the search result page between the slurping and the writing then the results will be lost, but it is only a few minutes a day so you have to have an exceptionally bad luck to encounter this problem ] (]) 05:30, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Because you had block my other user, I had to write you by this user (my second user) to explain about the map (ethnic map of Iran). I had a discussion about that map with these two usere( ], User talk:Alefbe). The discussion was about the "sources" of my map not about "Azeri turks" you can have a look to this wiki page ()to see that the terms "Azeri Turk" is correct (pls look at the second line of that page, the word "Azeri Turk" is there). User:BehnamFarid claim that Azeris are not Turk. Anyway, I had answered them in their talk page. I asked them let me to correct some mistakes of the map which I have uploaded a.s.a.p. which I did after less than 20 hours. While the previous map uploaded by User:Persia2099 was wrong even in its source map which dosnt show the right information of ethnic groups in Iran, I searched in the internet and found a better map which is this() then I simplified it myself and uploaded again which is this(). So it is my own work but it is not made-up map as User:BehnamFarid claimed you. The source is this link, a map published by university of Texas. So can I put this map in the pages of previous map again which you have deleted as I saw after ending of my blocking period? I'm waiting for your answer. Pls answer me in my main user (] talk page) not this one.

It's just one source just like the another one that i show you. we should produce a map that was acoording to the list of all maps that was produne by university of texas. after all you haven't change the map a bit according to your source some of the the west azerbaijan has a kurdish population that in your map there is no sign of that.

While all constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, pages may be ].
*Hi, Pournick, answering your question. There are many ways to appeal a block and requesting a review without using "second accounts". One of the simplest is to put {{tl|Unblock}} on your user page (you can still edit your own talk page then blocked). An admin would read the request and review the block. You can send an email to the blocking admin using toolbox/E-mail this user feature of Misplaced Pages interface. Almost all admins opt-in to receive Misplaced Pages E-mails (I certainly do). You can also use the mailing list unblock-en-l@lists.wikimedia.org to request an unblock (check https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/unblock-en-l for details). No editing via "second accounts" to circumvent a block. Still many admins (me include) would not usually block a user if he uses another account strictly to argue his unblocking. This is not an entitlement though and please do not count on it, rather use other avenues to appeal the block. I will check the situation with your second blocking soon ] (]) 23:13, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
**I was about to ask Khoikhoi to shorten the block but it appears that you did strong personal attacks on other editors and vandalized their user pages. In this case one month block is correct, if you continue you will be blocked indefinitely. ] (]) 23:40, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
**So, not to tempt you to avoid your block via mutiple accounts I have blocked a couple of your sockpuppets. It does not affect the length of the block of the main account as they were not used abusively ] (]) 23:51, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

ANI or AE?

Hello, I'm asking your advice on the dispute with Volunteer Marek. Please note that while I'm not a newcomer, I'm relatively inexperienced about conflict resolution on en.wiki.
Recently I had this conversation with User:Boud. The topic is withdrawing my ANI complaint and opening an AE request. At ANI you invited us to find a compromise. While I think that that is both desirable and possible with regard to the contents of the article on war crimes, I doubt we can compromise on civility. But the point is: as a relatively inexperienced editor, I might have misunderstood the standards of civility and tendentiousness that this community deems acceptable. If that is the case, I'd rather stop it here, don't waste my and other people's time, and possibly move to less controversial topic areas leaving the floor to others who have the stomach for this. If, on the other side, I haven't made a blatant mistake on civility and tendentiousness, and Volunteer Marek's behaviours are contrary to our guidelines and policies, or at least they are in a "grey area" where reasonable people could disagree on their appropriateness, then I'd be happy to bring the case to AE.
I'm not particularly keen on writing another complaint and I'm aware that this could easily backfire, but it might be worth it: exposing the way they behave and asking AE to uphold our policies might be the right thing to do, as I think that their contribution is quite harmful in that topic area. If in the process I get topic banned or blocked, that would be unpleasant, but not too hard to deal with: I have other projects and interests.
So the question for you is: AE or not AE? Your advice is very much appreciated. Gitz (talk) (contribs) 00:40, 24 June 2022 (UTC)

  • Well, I might be too thick-skinned myself but I would have let the issue die if I were in your shoes. Find a compromise on the article and forget about some impolite discussion in between. I know User:Volunteer Marek for many years, occasionally the contacts were frustrating but overall he is a good guy. Anyway it is your choice. We have a policy WP:FORUMSHOP that discourages going with someone's grievances to another forum if the decision of the first one is unsatisfactory. We have a dozen of different forums with intersecting authority and if somebody would go to all of them he or she would eventually get their foe block. I do not see any quick exit out of it. I guess if WP:AN/I decision would not help the problem in a week you can try another forum WP:AE. On the other hand discouragement is not forbidding I guess you can drop a notice to WP:AE maybe with a link to WP:AN/I and ask if they think the issue is covered by WP:ARBEE - the arcom decision that sets simplified blocking policy for the tendentious editing in the area of Eastern European and Balkan issues. This is your choice Alex Bakharev (talk) 03:32, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
    Thank you for the explanation and advice. I thought about it and decided to follow your suggestion: I will not pursue the matter further. In fact, I agree that WP:FORUMSHOP clearly applies to a case as this one. Out of inexperience I might have made a wrong decision about the best venue for addressing my quarrel, but VM cannot be burden with my procedural mistakes, and that would also be unfair to the editors who commented at AN/I. I should have followed Boud's advise immediately and asked to transfer the case at AE. However, I think that that mistake of mine will not prevent me from opening an AE request in case of future behaviours by VM that I deem disruptive or uncivil. If and when I will raise a case at AE, I will share a link to the discussion at AN/I, and I will hope that that doesn't fall under WP:FORMUSHOP. Thank you again for your time and consideration.

The file File:Mirsky Book Cover.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Improper use of non-free content. The image is used only on an article about the subject of the book, not the book itself, and there is no "critical commentary of the work" to speak of.

While all constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
