Disambiguation link notification for July 10
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Russian submarine Losharik, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Lenta (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.)

[edit]Thank you very much for reading my message and protecting page Battle of Rzhev from unexplained or hate reverts. Meliodas Sama (talk) 01:49, 13 July 2019 (UTC)
- Thank you Alex Bakharev (talk) 02:39, 13 July 2019 (UTC)
- It is quite possible that Meliodas_Sama (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google) is a sock of some banned user. There is at least one another sock: Chùa Tam Chúc (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google).

Wildkatzen is a puppet account of Ruslik0 by similar paranormal activity logs.125.212.244.152 (talk) 04:43, 15 July 2019 (UTC)
- One User edits since 2006 the other from 2017. Neither of them were ever blocked for sockpuppeting. Their interests seems to intersect but they are not identical. While it is always possible that two accounts belong to the same user it has to be proven by a Checkuser Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations. Alex Bakharev (talk) 06:58, 15 July 2019 (UTC)
- Hello @Alex Bakharev: and @Ruslik0:, as I suspected, Meliodas Sama belongs to a previous sock that I had to dealt with. Apparently, over 1'200 accounts on viwiki have been linked to this person.... Regards, Wildkatzen (talk) 20:29, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks for the headup. I have blocked the IP 125.212.244.152 as well as it is obviously only used by the same user. Alex Bakharev (talk) 23:58, 16 July 2019 (UTC)

Emil Adelkhanov
[edit]Hi Alex, thank you for editing the article Emil Adelkhanov, and leaving me a note with recommendations about it. I didn't know the subject personally by I've spoken to three of his family members including his daughter. The info I put in the article comes from them as well as the links I provided. I don't see a reason for not trusting them with it, but unfortunately I don't have an online evidence from the other sources which would confirm some of it, sorry. I understand the rules and if some information has to be removed, it would be totally fine. Regarding the photo and the question about Georgian or Russian spelling of the subject's name - I'll ask the family members. Thank you again for helping me with this article.

Vandalism
[edit]Namaste! Sir. For the past few days, Wikipedia has been vandalized by targeting a particular caste or dynasty native to India. already restricted user HinduKshatrana is teaming up with his other companions to challenge the Wikipedia articles related to Yadava dynasty. Please, check his contributions history and take appropriate steps in this matter and apply a longer restriction on this user HinduKshatrana.Thank you. --hardhrol 07:21, 17 July 2019 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hardhrol (talk • contribs)
- Sorry, I am not very familiar with the subject not with the specific restriction acting there. The disruptive edits and edit warring I have noticed only deserve 60h. Probably another admin more familiar with area could help you more. If you do not know one please go to WP:AN/I. Good luck Alex Bakharev (talk) 13:42, 17 July 2019 (UTC)

Rumi
[edit]Dear Alex I believe Rumi was burn, live and died in Grator Iran and he was an Iranian resident.when we talking about someone and we are outside of his living area we say his nationality is.... when you tell he was from Greator Khorasan some afghan or tajik think he was afghn or tajik although Afghanistan and Tajikestan wasn't countries on that period of time. as a result Turkish think he was a turk because he died in Ghunieh locatted in nowadays turkey. I can understand someone editing wiki page as a business to make Equivocal words to confuse some nation to be ready for argument and maybe cultural war. I hope caould make clear your mind.so you are British not Manchesterish or Londonish.sorry for my English level.

[edit]Established policy provides for removal of the administrative permissions of users who have not made any edits or logged actions in the preceding twelve months. Because you have been inactive, your administrative permissions will be removed if you do not return to activity within the next month.
Inactive administrators are encouraged to rejoin the project in earnest rather than to make token edits to avoid loss of administrative permissions. Resources and support for reengaging with the project are available at Wikipedia:WikiProject Editor Retention/administrators. If you do not intend to rejoin the project in the foreseeable future, please consider voluntarily resigning your administrative permissions by making a request at the bureaucrats' noticeboard.

File source problem with File:Vaganova Odetta.jpg
[edit]Thank you for uploading File:Vaganova Odetta.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.
If the necessary information is not added within the next seven days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.
Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
