Hello! You've removed a recently added user warning template from your user or user talk page. This tends to give the impression that you didn't read it. User warning templates contain valuable information and although you may disagree, it's best if you consider them. Thank you. ~a (user • talk • contribs) 16:52, 6 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Just a heads-up, I reverted your removal of a block of text from Second Chechen War where you indicated in your edit summary that a link must be in English. While it is certainly most convenient for our readers and editors to provide English sources and links for our articles, it is not an absolute requirement. Per Wikipedia:Reliable_sources#Sources_in_languages_other_than_English, non-English sources are acceptable, particularly where an equivalent English source is unavailable.
If you feel that the text included in our article is not supported by the citation, please make that clear. If you believe that the cited source is unreliable, please discuss the question on the article's talk page. If you would prefer to substitute an English-language source for the information in place of the Russian source, by all means do so. Please don't remove content from articles simply because that content is supported by a non-English source. Cheers, TenOfAllTrades(talk) 14:38, 25 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Addendum: You may also find it useful to employ the {{cite}} template. Place that text, with the curly braces, next to a statement in an article that you feel requires citation. This is considered the most gentle and perhaps most polite way to request substantiation of claims. Alternatively, you may remove uncited quotations and move them to the article's talk page, for discussion and citation. In general, both of those options are much preferred to removing text outright (as you have done here) without comment or discussion. Remember, Wikipedia is a collaborative working environment, and it's worth making every effort to cooperate with other editors and help them to improve their work.

But not only is the source in Russian, it requires you to register to access the article. So, not only can I not read the article, I can't even access it since I cant read the steps necessary to register. DarthJesus00:17, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
