Speedy deletion nomination of Novgorodian Rus'
[edit]If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Novgorodian Rus', requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a foreign language article that was copied and pasted from another Wikimedia project, or was transwikied out to another project. Please see Wikipedia:Translation to learn about requests for, and coordination of, translations from foreign-language Wikipedias into English.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. trunks_ishida (talk) 06:02, 13 December 2011 (UTC)
Kievan Rus'
[edit]Please cite a reliable source for your revision to the Kievan Rus' article, for it contradicts the text and sources cited in the article. Laszlo Panaflex (talk) 18:29, 19 September 2013 (UTC)
- As per Lazlo Panaflex. This is the second instance of the same radical content change in as many days without citing references. It appears that your interest in contributing to this article takes place on an annual basis: here, here and the most recent changes. If you have reliable and verifiable information pertaining to the subject, you might consider bringing it up on the relevant talk page. If not, please abstain from adding or changing content as escalation to edit warring doesn't serve the interests of the article. Thank you for your consideration. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 23:22, 19 September 2013 (UTC)
What's the deal with this?
[edit]Regarding this edit, I don't agree, so please engage here: Talk:Russian America#What the heck? Herostratus (talk) 03:51, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
March 2014
[edit] Please refrain from changing genres, as you did to Lyubsha, without providing a source and without establishing a consensus on the article's talk page first. Genre changes to suit your own point of view are considered disruptive.
Please note, also, that blanking cited content and overwriting it with tracts of unsourced material (which appears to be original research is unacceptable. Iryna Harpy (talk) 06:19, 17 March 2014 (UTC)
Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's no original research policy by adding your personal analysis or synthesis into articles, as you did at Lyubsha, you may be blocked from editing.
You have been blanking cite checked sources and adding original research. The Ladoga Museum entry you've cited doesn't support your tendentious edits. Iryna Harpy (talk) 22:11, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Donetsk People's Republic (Russia)
[edit]Hello, Zemant,
Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Hey man im josh and I thank you for your contributions.
I wanted to let you know, however, that I have tagged an article that you started, Donetsk People's Republic (Russia), for deletion, because a consensus decision previously decided that it wasn't suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia. If you wish to restore a page deleted via a deletion discussion, please use the deletion review process instead, rather than reposting the content of the page.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top. If the page is already deleted by the time you come across this message and you wish to retrieve the deleted material, please contact the deleting administrator.
For any further query, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Hey man im josh}}
. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~
. Thanks!
Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.

Invitation to an in-person meetup in Mohua / Golden Bay
[edit]Thinking about your summer break? Think about joining other Wikipedians and Wikimedians in Golden Bay / Mohua! Details are on the meetup page. There's heaps of interesting stuff to work on e.g. the oldest extant waka or New Zealand's oldest ongoing legal case. Or you may spend your time taking photos and then upload them.
Golden Bay is hard to get to and the airline flying into Tākaka uses small planes, so we are holding some seats from and to Wellington and we are offering attendees a $200 travel subsidy to help with costs.

Overlink, bolding and incorrect links
[edit]I suggest you should read WP:OVERLINK and MOS:BOLD to help understand why your recent edits are being reverted. Additionally please do not make links to incorrect subjects as you did here by linking to an entity that didn't exist in his lifetime. Canterbury Tail talk 14:44, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
- And this edit was 100% incorrect. Canterbury Tail talk 14:45, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
- Sorry. I'll be more careful. Zemant (talk) 14:47, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
- You need to stop with the Wp:OVERLINK, MOS:BOLD and WP:EASTEREGG violations. You've created a lot of work to clean up. You've been on Wikipedia 14 years and have been pointed to policies and MOS multiple times. Canterbury Tail talk 14:51, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
