Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation into Draft:Russian invasion of Ukraine 2014. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa (talk) 13:24, 30 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked as a sockpuppet

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abusing multiple accounts as a sockpuppet of User:Lagelander per the evidence presented at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Lagelander. Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but not for illegitimate reasons, and any contributions made while evading blocks or bans may be reverted or deleted.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. -- RoySmith (talk) 01:50, 17 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your edits re: "Eastern" Orthodox Church

Quick note regarding your edits. Your have been editing every article on Wikipedia to change the term "Orthodox Church" to "Eastern Orthodox Church". While Wikipedia, as an online encyclopedia, predominantly does use "Eastern" as its internal naming convention to differentiate the Orthodox Church from other groups such as the "Oriental Orthodox Church", you should be aware that according to the self-understanding of the "Eastern" Orthodox Church itself, it is really the only one that is considered "Orthodox", theologically speaking. The word 'Eastern' is something of a misnomer, as virtually any Orthodox priest in the world will tell you today. For example:

1) If you look on the official websites of any Orthodox jurisdiction in the world, you will likely not see the word 'Eastern' present on any of them;
2) If you also look at the Library of Congress (LC) Authorities name online catalog (View Authority Headings/References), the official LC names for various Orthodox Churches also do not include the word 'Eastern';
3) The Wikipedia article Eastern Orthodox Church, it states that the name is "officially the Orthodox Catholic Church ".

I would argue therefore that the best practice — in line with the LC naming convention, would be to avoid using the word "Eastern". ΙΣΧΣΝΙΚΑ-888 (talk) 13:24, 17 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
