Please stop. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Vachirawit Chivaaree, you may be blocked from editing. Drmies (talk) 15:01, 8 June 2023 (UTC)

By "unsourced or poorly sourced" do you mean grading sources of information? By Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources I was able to find out that The Diplomat is a good source. In this source, from the third paragraph begins the very thing that was entered into the article. Foreing Policy, which is not in the list of these sources, says the same thing. Next comes CNN, also recorded as a reliable source. Then there are the really non-scored sources, but they have this information in them. I'm from Ukrainian Wikipedia, we don't have a procedure for grading sources, so please explain it to me. Where am I wrong? Keneris (talk) 16:28, 8 June 2023 (UTC)

Well, there's also Twitter, and dzrhnews, whatever that is--but there are more problems; I picked one of the templates. For some reason you removed the short description and placed a web citation template in there. Then, the entire article is loaded with trivial celeb stuff, it suffers from promotional editing, and your whole thing is basically about a tweet. Plus, "Controversies" (or "Scandals") sections are discouraged. Put all that together and you have, in my opinion and that of others, something that doesn't improve the article. Does that make sense? Drmies (talk) 02:37, 9 June 2023 (UTC)

Actually, the short description was removed by me due to a technical error, I apologize for that. Twitter is indeed an unreliable source, but CNN comes next, which is already a reliable source. Still, if it all comes to the Tweet that CNN wrote about, it might be relevant. Also, please clarify which rule/discussion does not recommend sections of "Controversy". In Ukrainian Wikipedia, this is a normal and acceptable section of an article, so it's not clear to me. Keneris (talk) 10:24, 9 June 2023 (UTC)

I had to call in auxiliaries to find it; I remember it wasn't easy to find last time, and it is so self-evidently good advice: see here, WP:STRUCTURE. Drmies (talk) 20:39, 10 June 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Fyunck(click). I noticed that you recently removed content from Yany Kapu without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Please don't remove proper redirects. It was explained once in a page summary when you moved a hot-topic article without any consensus, and now you blanked its redirect.

Please note that, due to WP:RUSUKR, editors who are not extended confirmed are unable to make edits about Russia-Ukraine war, broadly construed. Mellk (talk) 06:17, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

Custom signature fix needed

Hi there! You have a custom signature set in your account preferences. Changes to Wikipedia's software have made your current custom signature invalid.

The problem: Your signature contains a syntax error or obsolete HTML tags.

The solutions: You can reset your signature to the default, you can fix your signature, or you can do nothing.

Solution 1: Reset your signature to the default:

1. Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
2. Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
3. Remove anything in the Signature: text box.
4. Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page. (Do not click the red "Restore all default settings" button, which will reset all of your preference settings, not just the signature.)

Solution 2: Fix your custom signature:

1. Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
2. Click the Learn more button next to the error to learn how to fix the error.
3. Update your signature to fix the error.
4. Click Save to update to your newly fixed signature.

Solution 3: Do nothing:

1. In accordance with a recent request for comment, all invalid signatures will be changed to the default, which looks like "Example (talk)", one month from now.

If you have followed these instructions and still want help, please leave a message at Wikipedia talk:Signatures. Thank you! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 06:05, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to Eastern Europe or the Balkans, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief 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. If you have questions, please contact me or ask at the Arbitration Committee Clerks Noticeboard. Mellk (talk) 06:18, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
