She does not have Ukrainian citizenship, she (to my knowledge) can't speak the language, and there is no evidence suggesting she identifies with, or as, Ukrainian. I love Mila, she's gorgeous and one day I'm going to marry her (kidding), but Misplaced Pages is not a place for you to pad some mental list of yours of famous '''pseudo-Ukrainians'''.

| ==Block and Final warning== | |||
| I warned this account months ago for inappropriate conduct on articles with regard to edits (and edit summaries) about race and ethnicity. It seems that this account has returned to that behaviour. This is the final warning you will receive for edits incompatible with wikipedia's core principles, core policies and codes for behaviour. It is, as has been pointed out, recorded in third party reliable sources that your views on Mila Kunis's ethnicity is incorrect. <br>Your action in revert warring on two articles about this (diffs show original edit and reverts), although not making more than 3 reverts this action (across 2 articles) ''does'' constitute a breach of ], due to repeated reverts without discussion and the spill over from one article to another (something an account with your history of edit-warring should be aware is inappropriate by now) - this has resulted in a 72 hour block. For clarity ] '''does not''' give an automatic right to 3 reverts per day on articles. <br>Previously I had to warn you that a person being black and English is absolutely possible - it is ''your problem'' if you haven't got that message. The fact that you are now edit-warring over your apparent belief that being Jewish & Ukrainian is not possible is ], incorrect, and contrary to the ] (source based, neutral point of view edits). You should be in no doubt User:Lvivske that further behaviour like this will be prevented by block if necessary. <br>Over the course of years you have been counseled and notified about your improper conduct on this site - most recently by me - the behaviour of this account since indicates that you are either ], or are ignoring these warnings, and are continuing to use ]. This sort of behaviour is forbidden on site and is explicitly listed as grounds for imposing sanction at both the and ]. <br>This message is both an official notification of these Arbitration findings in light of this account's edit warring about ethnicity and nationality on an article (]) and a related ] (]) and a final warning generally for edits, comments and other actions on this site, about race and ethnicity, (actions that either constitute POV editing, use of wikipedia to further off site/real world disputes, or push a POV) that are fundamentally at variance from the stated aims, goals and purpose of this project as an encyclopedia will result in this account loosing its editting privelages--] <sup>]</sup> 13:21, 2 October 2011 (UTC) | |||
| == Introduction to contentious topics == | |||
| :: 1) Your view on the ethnic English / black position is that of your own POV and not necessarily fact by any sense of the word. That is your own personal belief and you should, as a person of authority here on Misplaced Pages, not allow your own personal views into edit wars or content resolution. 2) The link you provided to a book about Mila Kunis proves nothing, and shows nothing relevant to the discussion at hand. It's just a book cover with no page number, quote, or anything. As I stated previously, she's an ethnically Jewish person from the Soviet Union who is now an American citizen. How is she Ukrainian, ethnic or otherwise? This is just ] on your own part; inferring that temporary residence in the Ukrainian SSR makes one an ethnic Ukrainian, and somehow qualified to headline a diaspora article she does not identify with. 3) The so called "edit warring" you are citing was hardly edit warring, as I have primary sources to back up the reason for my edit regarding Tkachuk, and I was also engaged in communicating the edits with 2 people so far. This is ''not'' edit warring. 4) Are you seriously citing arbitrary filings against me that resulted in no action because I was innocent, as some sort of proof against my general behavior or conduct? 5) IS THIS CONCLUSION OF YOURS SERIOUSLY BASED ON YULIA'S FABRICATED QUOTE OF "People who are Jews are never Ukrainian" FROM THE TALK PAGE? If so, then wow. I asked for a source and she warped it into that tripe. | |||

| 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, Misplaced Pages’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Misplaced Pages administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project. | |||
| :::Lvivske, it is very clear that you ] or ], what wikipedia is for. Your block is a result of revert warring, ''without discussion'' (as a review of your contribs shows there was no discussion on this topic during the reverts except the remarks on this page which fail to address the point), and the spill over of the dispute from one article to another. Your edits and edit summaries are what led here (particularly this one). My determination is based on your edit summaries (listed in the diffs above). Also it is very easy for those of us reviewing your edits to see that ] describe this person as Ukrainian and ] on Misplaced Pages, not your opinion Lvivske. <br>Using wikipedia to further off site agendas or your POV is prohibitted. And especially so in Eastern European topics. You have been formally placed on notice of this. <br>Your failure to get the point ''vis-a-vis'' edits about race and ethnicity on wikipedia is your problem - whether that's due to a POV or a language barrier doesn't matter: wikipedia is a) ] and b) requires competence to use. If you cannot adjust your behaviour to comply with our policies you will simply be prevented from breaking them. <br>I will remind you that ''ad hominem'' and ] comments like the above are not aceptable on wikipedia and may lead to further blocks, or the revocation of your talk age access while blocked.

| *A note for reviewing admins. This block was made in light of reverts on the same issue/topic but on two articles - all done without discussion or attempts at discussion by Lvivske. Given his history of editwarring he is, or should be, aware of ] - hence the length of the block. Also the block is made in light of previous edis (wrt race & ethnicity) incompatible with wikipedia's purpose and code of conduct (see above comments). <br>Also although Lvivske has only been listed as being notfified of WP:DIGWUREN by me yesterday - he was infact officially warned and notified . Thus his behaviour in editwarring was in breach of those RFAR remedies ''after being warned''. <br>I've erred on the side of caution here only imposing a 72 hour block and officially listing Lvivske on ]'s list of notified users, however this block does fall in a grey area of ] of WP:DIGWUREN's discretionary sanctions as Lvivske was previously notified.

| {{unblock reviewed | 1=I was blocked without warning for an alleged violation of ], for the following edits: . The edits related to the article ] were simply removal of unsourced material, as stated in the edit summaries. The first and '''only''' revert I made was because my good faith and reliably sourced edit was contested for being "opinion not fact", when I do have ]s for the Tkachuk case, and per Kunis' talk page, no source exists to confirm her status. All I did was remove unsourced information that was inserted due to ]. The other article I was reprimanded for was ], whom I made 2 category removals on, and was uncontested (ie. no warring or reversions even took place). I was blocked without warning, and without chance to discuss on the respective article's talk pages (however I did begin communication on my own talk page). <br> Based on a single revert, and no ''real'' back-and-forth disruptive editing taking place, my conduct in no way contravenes Edit Warring or Battleground policy.

| ::: In my defense, concerning being "blocked for edits about race, nationality and ethnicity that are not compatible with wikipedia's core policies or code of conduct". The previous 'warning' by Cailil was about me changing ] to ] from a BLP lede, which is the ] suggested route (that is, citizenship in the lede, not ethnicity). In this case, just like the current case, Cailil invented an ethnic debate that simply did not exist. Per Cailil, ''"Simply put, Lvivske is blocked for making edits that claim in BLPs that a person cannot be English because they are black and that a person is not Ukrainian because they are Jewish"'', this statement is entirely a lie and fabrication of what my edits were about. The English example was changing ethnicity to citizenship, the current situation was removing unsourced ] information.

| ===outside views=== | |||
| Ok, there's a bunch of bunkum going on here. | |||
| *First, referring to an established editor as "this account" or "that account" (as in ''"I warned this account"'', ''"It seems that this account "'', ''"something an account"'', ''"the behaviour of this account"'', ''"in light of this account's"'', ''"will result in this account "'' - why not you just go ahead and call it "a little thing I'm going to play with like a cat with a mouse", have some guts and be honest - pretty clear sign that this is just an example of a power hungry admin lording it over small editors) is obnoxious and appears to be an attempt at de-personalizing Lvivske with a view towards making the sanction seem justifiable. Put a hood on their head before you block'em, that way you don't have to look into their eyes. But there's always a person behind "this account" and just because you don't refer to them as a person does not make it ok for you to ban them as if they were just an "account". | |||
| *Second, the statement by Cailil above that ''"It is, as has been pointed out, recorded in third party reliable sources that your views on Mila Kunis's ethnicity is incorrect."'' pretty clearly indicates that s/he has a very strong opinion on this matter and hence, whatever the protestations to the contrary, is not "uninvolved" and hence has no authority to impose this kind of sanction. If you gonna block "accounts", then at least pretend not to take sides in the disputes. | |||
| *Third, there's no goddamn violation of any Misplaced Pages rules here. There's two reverts on one article. There's two reverts on another article. The two articles are sort of related. True, there's nothing on talk but the edit summary here is pretty descriptive . If this continued I could see a reason for some kind of a sanction. But it was still in the "we are having a disagreement - let's see what happens" stage. What the hell happened here? Been a long time since you banned some peon and were looking for a peasant to slap around or something? | |||
| *Fourth, this block shouldn't be "reduced". It should be overturned and Calil should be reminded that the job of administrators is to serve the Misplaced Pages editors and help them, not to bully them around. A note should be made in Lvivske's block log to that effect. | |||

| *I am here because I have been asked to provide an independent review of the comments made above about Cailil. It seems to me that Cailil has made some errors of judgement. However, there is no justification at all for the incivility and personal attacks to which he has been subjected. | |||
| # Lvivske has been editing in very unhelpful ways over a long period, and has received numerous warnings about the problems, but clearly has no intention of changing. The latest edits fitted in with previous patterns of problematic editing, and it is clear that the block was based on the combined effect of accumulated editing problems, with the latest edits being just the last straw. It was probably a mistake to use the expression "edit warring" in referring to the block, as the edits referred to scarcely constituted edit warring in themselves. However, Cailil made it perfectly clear that those edits were not the whole reason for the block: ''"Lvivske is blocked for making edits that claim in BLPs that a person cannot be English because they are black and that a person is not Ukrainian because they are Jewish - and editwarring over the latter."'' As Cailil has pointed out, "the block is made in light of previous edits", and although an unfortunate choice of wording in describing the block may have initially given the impression that the block was for those edits alone, that error does not justify the accusations made above. To argue as though the whole block rests on the few edits referred to, and the reason for the block falls down if those edits do not constitute edit warring, is to completely ignore the explanation given. | |||
| # Perhaps "I warned this account" would have been better expressed as "I warned this editor", and likewise with the other examples given, but really that is not a matter of great significance, and placing undue emphasis on that does not help. | |||
| # Cailil would, in my judgement, have been better advised to have stood back and got less involved in arguments following the block. | |||
| # The statement by Cailil above that "It is, as has been pointed out, recorded in third party reliable sources that your views on Mila Kunis's ethnicity is incorrect" is a simple statement of fact. Lvivske has a persistent habit of denying that Jews from the Ukraine are Ukrainian, denying that black people who are born and bred in England are English, and so on. Cailil could perhaps have tried to seem more objective by saying something like "contrary to the consensus view held by Wikipedians and by society at large" instead of "incorrect", but to claim that making such a statement makes Cailil into a biased participant who cannot take administrative action is absurd. | |||
| # We are told that the two edits to ] are not reverts, and we are asked "Who exactly got reverted here?" The two edits removed content, so they were reverting the edits that inserted that content. For example, reverted by USchick from 29 August 2010.

While some of Cailil's actions were not perfect, there is no justification for accusations of "bullying" or of suggesting that he is "totally incompetent or lying". Even if Volunteer Marek and Lothar von Richthofen think that Cailil's judgement was severely at fault, I see no reason at all to think that the actions were taken in anything other than good faith, and there is certainly a case for the block, whether or not one thinks that the case against is stronger. ] (]) 14:17, 4 October 2011 (UTC) | |||

But even if we count it, it's still only a single edit on ]. (b) As I stated elsewhere, I have the impression that Cailil got something seriously wrong if he though Lvivske was generally denying that Jews from Ukraine could be Ukrainian; if indeed there should be a "persistent habit" of him editing with such a tendency, I've not seen evidence of it. On the face of it, Lvivske's edit to ] can well be described as a legitimate enforcement of ]. – I am considering lifting this block. ] ] 14:37, 4 October 2011 (UTC) | |||

| *Likewise, I have Lvivske on my watchlist because of our past disagreements. Having looked through the edits in question it seems clear that this block should not be held. Additionally, the content disagreement between the blocking admin and Liviske regading whether Mila Kunis is Ukrainian or not, not only does not warrant a block but on the contrary, should make the admin more cautious, and refrain from using his admin priviliges (esp. where no technical criteria for using them were met). Besides, the fact that Cailil thinks that a person born in a Soviet Union republic must have the nationality of this republic shows little understanding of nationality and citizenship issues in the former SU. For example a Russian born in ] is still a Russian, not an Estonian after the collapse of the SU. Similarly, a Jewish person born in ] does not have to be Ukrainian. Any U.S. or British analogies are not relevant here, as the historical background and the situation is different. Anway, as to the block, I don't see why it has to take that much to admit the mistake, apologize, and have this over. I assume good faith of both Cailil and Lvivske. --]<sup>]</sup> 20:49, 4 October 2011 (UTC) | |||

| Sure, I'll be civil - but I don't see that as being the same as refraining from strongly worded criticism. Some situations require us to speak plainly and to the point. On the ladder of uncivil things one editor can do to another on Misplaced Pages, wrongly blocking someone and then pouring salt on the wounds is about as high as you can get - for one thing it leaves permanent scars on the block log, unlike an off-the-cuff comment which can be easily forgotten or ignored. | |||

| I also - like Lothar and FPS above - don't see anything wrong with the edits in question. I think you (JamesBWatson) bought into the whole story that Calil is telling. But it's just a story and not a particularly accurate one. There's been no edit warring. There's been no incvility on Lvivske's part. As to the content, I think FPS addresses the Mila Kunis one sufficiently. With regard to the David Haye article, Lvivske changed "English" to "British" since the term "English people" links to an article about a population which "Historically (is) descended from several genetically similar peoples—the earlier Britons (or Brythons), the Germanic tribes that settled in the area, including Angles, Saxons, and Jutes, collectively known as the Anglo-Saxons, who founded what was to become England (from the Old English Englaland), and the later Danes, Normans and other groups. ". If changing "English" to "British" was "racist", or something, in this context, then quick, find, whoever wrote the "English people" article and ban them too. | |||

Note
Please read WP:BLP. If you're adding contentious information about living persons, you need to be careful it is well sourced and does not contain any WP:OR. Tristario (talk) 00:04, 25 September 2023 (UTC)
- It didn't seem contentious to me, the current wording was just a bit convoluted...to challenge the existence of something is to deny it. LeVivsky (ಠ_ಠ) 03:25, 25 September 2023 (UTC)
Introduction to contentious topics
You have recently edited a page related to articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles, a topic designated as contentious. This standard message is designed as an 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, Misplaced Pages’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Misplaced Pages 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 Misplaced Pages;

Orphaned non-free image File:Cskvvssamarahc.png
Thanks for uploading File:Cskvvssamarahc.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 03:14, 24 January 2024 (UTC)

November 2024
Your recent editing history at History of Russia 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—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 do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Comment
Hi Lvivske, I've had an additional comb over of WP:BLPSELFPUB and surrounding sections. It seems that the claim about his grandmother and his father is a claim about a third party, and thus cannot be included. In addition, Youtube is not acceptable source at all – WP:RSPYT.
I'm not entirely convinced why we even need any reference to these tidbits. This article is about Lex, not the specifics of where his father was born. If you want to look through the talk page archives, users generally seem to agree it was best to only cite secondary sources because Lex fans were going overboard with reference directly to podcast episodes. A blanket decision to exclude them seems appropriate to prevent this happening again. Zenomonoz (talk) 21:40, 7 December 2024 (UTC)
- If there was a decision to omit his podcast transcripts as sources then thats fine, do you know where it was? LeVivsky (ಠ_ಠ) 00:54, 8 December 2024 (UTC)
