Cut and paste move

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Terezia Páleníková a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Terézia Páleníková. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Recognition of same-sex unions in Slovakia, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page For the People (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

September 2020

Hello, I'm Dennis Bratland. I wanted to let you know that some of your recent contributions to Ijeoma Oluo have been reverted or removed because they seem to be defamatory or libellous. Take a look at our welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia.

For the third time[1][2][3] you have posted defamatory criticism at Ijeoma Oluo citing a attack essay by a far-right extremist, Rod Dreher as a source. The opinions of a person's political enemies do not constitute reliable sources. Other editors have reverted this in the past and you have made no effort to discuss it at the article's talk page. The WP:BLP policy places a heavy burden of evidence on any negative information about a living person and requires great care. If you continue to add negative content about a living person without exercising care, and seeking the consensus of other editors to ensure the the policy is adhered to, you may be blocked from editing.

Your edit summaries say you think your edits are being censored because of your ideology, which suggests a failure to read and understand the WP:BLP policy. If you do not understand the policy, and don't make an effort to work with other editors to understand it, you cannot be allowed to edit articles about living people. Dennis Bratland (talk) 18:17, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

Hello Dennis, mislabelling someone as "far-right extremist" is advantageous to someone if he/she wants to discredite the person and to diminish the possibility of ideas of that person to be present in the society, however, it is wrong as it is very easy to be misused. Because of her opinions, I can easily name Iljeoma Oluo as "far-left extremist" and through this easy step, which might be just my point of view (even with Master in Political Science), can afterwards easily discredit that person of using her ideas as "political enemies". As far as I know, none of them (Dreher and Oluo) are active politicians, thus they of course cannot be political enemies. They are two writers with having different opinions about some issues. Accustomed with WP BLP, I still consider this part of article about Oluo as relevant. I consider this information about views of Oluo by Dreher as normal information, not "negative content", it is cited. I hope that after the explanation of this issue you understand the point. Wikipedia should be project for all points of views, not just the ones I or you or someone else likes of prefers. For example, even in the article about Dreher, there is sentence about Leonard Harris calling Dreher "white nationalist". Even about this information, again it is just the opinion of someone else, as you might say "political enemy", and Im not trying to delete this information, as Mr Harris has right to say anything about Dreher as well as Dreher has about Oluo and so on, and so forth. Otherwise Wikipedia will be just an ideological project, where democratic opinions of some people are tolerated and some not. Best regards.--Belisarius~skwiki (talk) 18:38, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

It doesn't sound like you actually went and read WP:Biographies of living persons. I strongly encourage you to do so, and to discuss the policy in an appropriate venue to ensure you understand how the BLP policy is applied. If you don't show any evidence of making a minimal effort to understand the BLP policy, you shouldn't expect a lot of tolerance for you banging around biography articles trying to feel your way towards understanding it. Wikipedia's policy is to strictly remove potentially damaging material about living people, not keep it around and see how it shakes out, which is essentially what the WP:Editing policy says we can do with content not about living people.

Please stop edit warring on biographies of living persons. Go to the article's talk page and do not proceed until you have consensus from other editors. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 18:51, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

There is one saying in Slovak language, "Jak keby hrach na stenu hádzal". As I told you, I have read the WP BLP. The information I try to correct is relevant and neutral, both with Iljeoma Oluo and with Margot (activist). Still some people are trying to destroy the very same principles they speak about and start edit warrings, trying to delete either evalutation of Oluo's opinions or, what is absolutely shocking, the legal reality of name, as it is in case of Margot (activist). I'm disappointed that some users of English wikipedia the very essence of academic research and try to censor even the reliable sources of information just because they do not like it. If I would do the same, we would be stuck in neverending edit war (even if data in those cases are supporting my point of view). However, I do not plan to waste my time and energy with warring. I am glad that Slovak Wikipedia is not that biased as English one and we do not have to deal with such problems. Good luck with your further work Dennis, and I recommend you to open your eyes and adhere to reality. Best regards,--Belisarius~skwiki (talk) 19:08, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

Deadnaming and misgendering a living person for no good reason is simple harassment, not encyclopedia building. You have never posted at Talk:Margot (activist) and that suggests a lack of good faith and an unwillingness to collaborate. I do hope you truly are flouncing off in a huff, never to return, or if you do return, it's with different motives. If you make any more edits that appear to be intended to harm the subject of an article, I'll request to have you indefinitely blocked from editing. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 19:25, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

Dear Dennis, I have never encountered a user like you at Wikipedia. Unfortunately, your arrogant and unprofessional style of discussion and using ideology of "deadnaming" and "misgendering" instead of real factography only shows your own inappropriateness as a Wikipedia user. The reality cannot harm anyone, Wikipedia is not a parent who tries to lie to its child that Santa gives the presents to not harm the child. If I again see the contentious issue where facts are bent, I will again join to bring real facts. If you try to block me from editing just because you do not like the reality of facts, then I will have no other option than to request to block you indefinitely for your damaging activity at Wikipedia. Best regards--Belisarius~skwiki (talk) 19:39, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

Your edits just today have been reverted by three other editors besides me. No other editors have expressed any support for your edits. You have made no effort to collaborate with any of them. Telling yourself that you've never encountered anyone like me is not going to help. You have encountered nothing but editors who don't agree with your edits, and have not engaged respectfully with even one of them. You will not be successful in editing a collaborative encyclopedia if you make no effort to collaborate. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 19:48, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

Margot

Hello. Your edits to Margot (activist) have been reverted by me and other editors. Wikipedia describes somebody's gender according to that person's preferences. It's not the same as Hitler describing himself as a pacifist, lefty, or whatever. This policy ONLY relates to gender. The talk page goes into this in depth, so please read it before making more edits regarding this issue. Many thanks. Malick78 (talk) 20:46, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

Hello Malick, I went through the talk page before and I have seen that no rational argumentation of other users did suceed before with this issue. I still strongly oppose unscientific prioritizing of personal own feelings over the biological and legal reality. As you have seen, I did not change the he/she pronouns in the text. I only assume that legally he is a man named Michal Szutowicz, he did not changed his sex/gender from male to female, neither did he change his name from Michal to Malgorzata. It is erroneus to prioritise any fluctuating personal statements when there is real evidence about these characteristics of person that opposes the feelings. Wikipedia should bring real knowledge, this approach is absurd and goes totally against the scientific purpose of description of the world. Tomorrow he can decide that he is a man again, next week he might be a dolphin named Rudolph, and so on. By that time, de iure he still will be a man Michal Szutowicz and this should be definitely included in the very first sentence of the article, as it is his real name and real sex/gender. As soon as he undergoes the needed surgery or legally changes his gender to female and legally changes his name, then it will be ok to include female Malgorzata into the first sentence. All these information about his current personal feelings of self-identification should be included in the article as well, but not in the heading. Heading should be brief and accurate and should not misinform. If you will follow the heading and look for some Malgorzata Szutowicz, you won't find any, as there is no one with such a name (who would correspond to activist Margot) living in Poland, just ask the authorities. Thus, I see no point currently in edit warring, the only solution that makes sense is to change this absurd Wikipedia rules. I will campaign for it firstly in our national level, then globally. I hope that now you understand the reasons of my actions. I will include this talk to Margot talk, too. Best regards--Belisarius~skwiki (talk) 05:32, 22 September 2020 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to gender-related disputes or controversies or people associated with them, 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.

You have recently made edits related to articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. This is a standard message to inform you that articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles is a designated contentious topic. This message does not imply that there are any issues with your editing. For more information about the contentious topics system, please see Wikipedia:Contentious topics. Beccaynr (talk) 09:10, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

I’ll wear my uninvolved administrator hat and speak plainly. Another edit like those two and your editing privileges on this Wikipedia will be permanently revoked. Had you already been alerted, they already would be. This is a long term problem, given you made similarly problematic edits back in 2020. Therefore, acting in my administrative capacity, this is a logged, formal warning under Wikipedia:Contentious topics for misconduct in the topic under sanctions from the GENSEX case. This warning will be placed in the WP:AELOG. It may be appealed at. WP:AE. Further similar edits may see you blocked or topic banned without further warning. Courcelles (talk) 17:43, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

Hello Courcelles, can you please explain why do you consider my behaviour in any sense as problematic? Thank you for the explanation.--Belisarius~skwiki (talk) 20:50, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

[4]. Wikipedia:DEADNAME, accusing others of totalitarianism? Honestly that diff would have had you indefinitely blocked had you previously been aware of CTOPS. Courcelles (talk) 20:55, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

Hello Courcelles, born and raised in Slovakia, studied at the universities in Slovakia, Czechia and Germany, Ive always esteemed highly the access to free and true information, as we in Central Europe do know very well how the regimes have altered the reality in the past. Thus, I was really surprised that it was a problem that my critique of some setting of English Wiki was seemed as inappropriate, as I think there should always be a free discussion possibility. English is my third language, therefore those juridical formulations not present in Slovak law are complicated to understand for me. Anyway, I will respect your Admin opinion and I will not alter articles about this topics at English wiki as I want to continue to actively contribute to other areas of my interest. All the best.--Belisarius~skwiki (talk) 21:09, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

Am I right in understanding that you intend to edit in a similar manner in other languages on the other Wikipedia sites? DanielRigal (talk) 21:29, 26 June 2023 (UTC)
