Disambiguation link notification for September 26

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited WIG30, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages CCC and LPP (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Disambiguation link notification for January 29

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Mariupol, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Tsentralnyi Raion. 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.

May 2016

I see that you moved a lot of pages, but you did not care to add any reliable sources that the subjects changed name, and you just eliminated old names (rather than mention them as old, with sources) thus deteriorating quality of Wikipedia. In some cases, you even introduced false information, such as adding Podylskyi Raion (we would use Podilsk Raion). Please before continue moving, go back to all these pages and bring them up to Wikipedia standards. Thank you for your understanding.--Ymblanter (talk) 08:11, 22 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently, you are only interested in moving but not interested in maintaining quality of Wikipedia. Next edit like this will earn you a block for vandalism. For the time being, I am reverting all your edits.--Ymblanter (talk) 08:03, 23 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24h for disruptive editing--Ymblanter (talk) 21:12, 20 July 2016 (UTC). Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.[reply]

December 2016

Note that this edit constitutes vandalism as I explained on the talk page. If you continue reverting, I will block you again, and we will start working towards the block of indefinite duration, since most of your recent edits here are disruptive.--Ymblanter (talk) 11:22, 4 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Moving article to Dnipro

You must overtly place a comment in support of the move at Talk:Dnipropetrovsk if you support it. It's not assumed. --Taivo (talk) 15:33, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 48h for canvassing--Ymblanter (talk) 20:55, 19 July 2017 (UTC). Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may request an unblock by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.[reply]

I have to block you for canvassing, now for 48h since I blocked you previously for 24h for disruptive editing.--Ymblanter (talk) 20:55, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

July 2017

Now you resorted to vandalism [1]. You perfectly know what the name of the city was in 1932. Given the previous blocks, now I blocked you for a month, and next time you may very well be blocked for an indefinite duration.--Ymblanter (talk) 19:51, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It is difficult to assume a good faith in your case given the previous track record, but this could have been an oversight, so that I decided to unblock you.--Ymblanter (talk) 20:51, 24 July 2017 (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)

I noticed your recent edit to Cumans does not have an edit summary. 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. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks! Peaceray (talk) 17:56, 26 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I see. Still, you do not have to waste your editor's time to change/add invisible links. We have redirects, which will lead to the required article. Staszek Lem (talk)

November 2018

This is the last warning before I block you long-term: this is vandalism since you removed valid information from the article. If you do not understand this - which seems to be the case given the history of your previous Wikipedia edits and blocks - you lack the competence for editing Wikipedia.--18:31, 26 November 2018 (UTC)

Do not move categories. Ever.

Hello, Ales sandro,

Please do not move categories. They aren't like articles that can be moved from one name to another. Articles and pages are assigned to categories. When you move a category page to a new name, each of the articles that is assigned to it must be reassigned to the new category. Right now, all you are creating is a mess that other editors have to clean up.

Please never move another category on your own. If you want to rename a category, please post it at Speedy renaming and merging of categories and if it is approved, a bot will reassign articles to new categories. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 04:36, 4 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for February 22

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Kryvyi Rih, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Kosice (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Historical articles with Kiev

As was mentioned on the Kyiv talk page, Chicken Kiev and some historical (mostly Russian) articles would need to be discussed before moving them to Kyiv. I mentioned that when I moved them back, yet you moved them again without opening a discussion. Not too cool. Fyunck(click) (talk) 22:30, 17 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Ales sandro: I noticed the same thing as Fyunck (I know the debate over the proper spelling of Kiev/Kyiv exists) and have similar concerns. Please link some discussion in which you discussed these changes or self revert, as these unilateral page moves violate WP:CON. SamHolt6 (talk) 22:54, 17 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

And mine is not so much the debate over the name of Kyiv. The modern name per Wikipedia is now Kyiv. Most uses in Wikipedia should be changed to Kyiv. But 1000 year old Russian rulers is pretty debatable. And things like Chicken Kiev would be a huge no. Even Kiev Cake is a debatable move. Those should be continued to be discussed on the Kyiv talk page or on the proper article talk pages "before" moving. Fyunck(click) (talk) 23:00, 17 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to Eastern Europe or the Balkans, 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, 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.
