Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 03:17, 11 January 2024

Reply to your email

Hello. I have received your email, where you inquired about whether your topic ban prohibits you from making edits to Soviet famine of 1946–1947 in Ukraine. In the interest of transparency, and so other administrators can see this clarifying statement, I am responding here rather than by e-mail.

In short, your topic ban does not per se cover this subject wholly. If any edit you make adds content involving the ethnic identity of particular individuals where it is disputed whether their ethnicity is Ukrainian, or adds content relating to disputes between the countries of Russia and Ukraine, then your edit is prohibited.

I am generally not too familiar with the historiography of the 1946-47 famine in the Ukraine, but if it is anything like that of the Holodomor I would strongly advise you to avoid making edits there. It would be very easy to violate your topic ban—there is content on w:uk:Голодомор в Україні (1946—1947) that, if you were to add it, would violate your topic ban. If your goal is to have the topic ban lifted in 3 months, when you can appeal it to the administrator's noticeboard, I would suggest that you continue to translate pages that do not require one to get deep into the weeds on (post-)Soviet politics.

I'm not able to handle your other request myself, but I have forwarded it to the functionaries who can.

Please let me know on my talk page if you have any further questions going forward.

Note on translations and attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Misplaced Pages. It appears that you translated text from one or more pages to another page. While you are welcome to translate Misplaced Pages content, here or elsewhere, Misplaced Pages's licensing requires that you provide attribution to the contributor(s) of the original article. When translating from a foreign-language Misplaced Pages article, this is supplied at a minimum in an edit summary on the page where you add translated content, identifying it as a translation and linking it to the source page. For example: Content in this edit is translated from the existing French Misplaced Pages article at ]; see its history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if translation is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{translated page}} template on the talk pages of the destination article. If you have added translated content previously which was not attributed at the time it was added, please add attribution retrospectively for that also, even if it was a long time ago. You can read more about author attribution and the reasons for it at Misplaced Pages:Copying within Misplaced Pages. I note that you have placed the {{translated page}} template on relevant talk pages already, but I did want to make you aware of the requirement that a link to the original page be included in an edit summary when you perform a translation. Thank you, and happy editing! — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 03:16, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
