User talk:MarcusTraianus

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Chetsford was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage (not just mere mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies, the golden rule and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners and Help:Introduction to referencing/1), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

As a party which holds no seats in a national parliament, and no seats in a regional parliament, it will need to pass a high threshold for sourcing. Currently, sources include non-WP:RS outlets like YouTube and Twitter.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

• If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Civil Initiative and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
• If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Civil Initiative, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and save.
• If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
• You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hello! MarcusTraianus, I noticed your article was declined at Articles for Creation, and that can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! Chetsford (talk) 05:40, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, MarcusTraianus. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Civil Initiative".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Hhkohh (talk) 12:59, 7 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'm Boleyn. MarcusTraianus, thanks for creating Rodion Cantacuzino!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. This has been tagged for two issues.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Editing tutorial
• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Simplified Manual of Style

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

• Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
• Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
• Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
• No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
• If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
• Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
• Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Thanks for uploading File:SaifalIslamGaddafi.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time after the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like {{PD-self}} (to release all rights), {{self|CC-by-sa-3.0|GFDL}} (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by MifterBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. NOTE: Once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. --MifterBot ^{(Talk • Contribs • Owner)} 10:46, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on File:SaifalIslamGaddafi.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hi, thanks for your contributions. Please note that we don't normally link years (or dates, or common terms). Tony (talk) 03:58, 12 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for the calculation of the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

All you're edits will be reverted if you keep on vandalising WP. 1) you havn't provided references in secondary sources that the Council of Minitsers adn the Council of People's Commissarsa are not identical, 2) therefore you're edits are original research and 3) instead of engaging with sources, trading references and building the WP you are ignoring discussions.

Thanks for uploading File:Логотип издательства Политиздат.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:47, 18 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:SaifalIslamGaddafi.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 00:30, 19 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Whpq: It is provided under RIAN-license. There is a link to the photobank, to proof that that is a RIAN image.

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed a file deletion tag from File:SaifalIslamGaddafi.jpg. When removing deletion tags, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 10:52, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for uploading File:В.М. Молотов.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Thank you for uploading File:В.М. Молотов.jpg. However, it is currently missing information on its copyright and licensing status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can verify that it has an acceptable license status and a verifiable source. Please add this information by editing the image description page. You may refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation.

Thanks for uploading File:Подписание договора об образовании СССР.jpeg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

A tag has been placed on Category:Geography of the Russian State requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Thank you for your recent articles, including MarcusTraianus, which I read with interest. When you create an extensive and well referenced article, you may want to have it featured on Wikipedia's main page in the Did You Know section. Articles included there will be read by thousands of our viewers. To do so, add your article to the list at T:TDYK.

Thank you for your recent articles, including MarcusTraianus, which I read with interest. When you create a new article, can you add the WikiProject assessment templates to the talk of that article? See the talk page of the article I mentioned for an example of what I mean. Usually it is very simple, you just add something like {{WikiProject Keyword}} to the article's talk, with keyword replaced by the associated WikiProject (ex. if it's a biography article, you would use WikiProject Biography; if it's a United States article, you would use WikiProject United States, and so on). You do not have to rate the article if you do not want to, others will do it eventually. Those templates are very useful, as they bring the articles to a WikiProject attention, and allow them to start tracking the articles through Wikipedia:Article alerts and other tools. For example, WikiProject Poland relies on such templates to generate listings such as Article Alerts, Popular Pages, Quality and Importance Matrix and the Cleanup Listing.

Hi, when you translate from a foreign language wiki, such as at 1st Officer General Markov Regiment, you must provide attribution:

• You must provide copyright attribution in the edit summary accompanying your translation by providing an interlanguage link to the source of your translation. A model attribution edit summary: Content in this edit is translated from the existing Russian Wikipedia article at ru:1-й Офицерский генерала Маркова полк; see its history for attribution.
• You should also add the template {{Translated|ru|1-й Офицерский генерала Маркова полк}} to the talk page.
• For more guidance, see Wikipedia:Translation. --John B123 (talk) 20:16, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, MarcusTraianus,

Thank you for creating Zemsky Sobor of 1613.

I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:

There’s a lot of unattributed quotes - if you could convert those to inline references, that would be great

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Willsome429}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~. For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.

Delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.

Regarding the article Nikolai Lukin, you need to remember that if you translate a page from another Wikipedia - and specifically, an article from the Russian wiki to the English wiki - you must indicate that you have done so. Please place - and complete - the template {{Translated page}} on the talk page to give proper credit and attribution. I see that this is not the first time you've been informed of the need to do this: please do remember, as it is quite important. Thanks. Ingratis (talk) 01:56, 13 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I note you are still not adding the required attribution, for example at Roman Vorontsov. You could possibly face sanctions against you if you continue to ignore this requirement. --John B123 (talk) 17:05, 14 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You are still not adding the required attribution when translating, such as at Ivan Titov which you have translated from ru:Титов, Иван Васильевич. Pinging Diannaa for guidance. --John B123 (talk) 17:09, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

MarcusTraianus, translating articles from one wiki to another (or copying from one Wikipedia article to another) without providing the required attribution is a violation of the terms of our license. Please begin fulfilling this mandatory legal requirement. — Diannaa (talk) 17:50, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Army Committees is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Army Committees until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.   // Timothy :: talk  04:23, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your recent articles, including Polish–Lithuanian occupation of Moscow, which I read with interest. When you create a new article, can you add the WikiProject assessment templates to the talk of that article? See the talk page of the article I mentioned for an example of what I mean. Usually it is very simple, you just add something like {{WikiProject Keyword}} to the article's talk, with keyword replaced by the associated WikiProject (ex. if it's a biography article, you would use WikiProject Biography; if it's a United States article, you would use WikiProject United States, and so on). You do not have to rate the article if you do not want to, others will do it eventually. Those templates are very useful, as they bring the articles to a WikiProject attention, and allow them to start tracking the articles through Wikipedia:Article alerts and other tools. For example, WikiProject Poland relies on such templates to generate listings such as Article Alerts, Popular Pages, Quality and Importance Matrix and the Cleanup Listing. Thanks to them, WikiProject members are more easily able to defend your work from deletion, or simply help try to improve it further.

• @Srnec: articles are different. Orthodox Christianity article covers a denomination in Christianity, while Eastern Orthodox Church covers a self-organization of eastern christians. Moreover, Eastern Church isn't homogenous, I covered that in Orthodox Christianity article. Merging them would be the same as merging Christianity and Christian Church articles. Both articles are important and shound be preserved. MarcusTraianus (talk) 03:48, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Category:State Duma of the Russian Empire of the Fourth Convocation requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay.

Hi, regarding the Afghan war map, the issue here is that an anonymous Twitter account appears to have been used to source the map. I’m not sure how this passes WP:V. FOARP (talk) 18:48, 29 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@FOARP: Hi! Thank you for asking.

Let me explain my position. When we are creating maps, using Twitter is allowed, and we can use other sources (news, government reports, etc.). Can it be flawed sometimes? Yeah. Can it lead to a delayed map changing? Sure. But it allows us to make such detailed maps, one of the best examples of it is the Syrian Civil War Map.

Now, regarding verifiability. Since it is a detailed map, verifiability principle used through the principle conflicting sources. If there is a governmental source says that some town isn't under someone's control, but the map shows the opposite, then we change it to a situation described by governmental source. Yes, there must be a hierarchy of sources, I don't argue. But Twitter can be used as a source. And I do not argue that it can carry errors and inaccuracies, but it's better than nothing.

And the last thing. There are no independent sources, and if we are talking about a military conflict, then we don't even have to stutter about it. They are always pro-something. Our task is to look for important information in the endless flow and create from it an actual picture of the conflict. MarcusTraianus (talk) 19:08, 29 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Maps aren't an exception to WP:V so I'm not sure you're right about this - instead they're subject to the same rules that text is. Twitter accounts are not unreliable per se but anonymous Twitter accounts by their very nature cannot be reliable as we do not know where their information comes from and who they are, and who is operating them can change unannounced. Literally sourcing content about the war in Afghanistan to the Taliban, unattributed, is a clear WP:V and WP:NPOV fail. If content cannot be created without doing this, then it should not be included at all, regardless of whether excluding it means that we do not have a live situation map. FOARP (talk) 19:36, 29 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@FOARP: The question is, how are we going to verify these sources in an academic way? These are channels of information, not monographs. Maps still work differently than text, that's the point of them.

"we do not know where their information comes from and who they are, and who is operating". And we don't need it. We need them to show the state of affairs on a map, that's all.

I understand what you mean and what you are concerned about, but the existing norms of reference on the detailed maps are considered sufficient on Wikipedia. Unfortunately, there are no others. MarcusTraianus (talk) 19:44, 29 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There are plenty of things that can be written on Wiki if only we ignore the requirement for reliable sourcing. This is not a reason to do so. There are no norms that allow unreliable sources to be used simply because they are being used to create a situation map. I think you have simply tricked yourself into believing that a local consensus trumps WP:V if the content is a situation map - it does not. FOARP (talk) 20:13, 29 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@FOARP: No, I just want to say that maps on Wikipedia are an extremely complex thing that does not fall under the rules of ordinary academic reference, but yet they must exist. I think that this issue should be brought to the level of the global Wikipedia community, and not discussed with just one person and shouldn't be part of the edit wars. Policy portal will be useful. Thank you. MarcusTraianus (talk) 20:27, 29 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Information presented on Wiki needs to be verifiable, and sourced to a reliable independent source, to the same extent regardless of whether it is in a map, graph, picture, or in text form. There is simply no exception for maps. See discussion here. FOARP (talk) 08:36, 2 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Calliopejen1 was:

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

• If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Handicraft production and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
• If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Handicraft production, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
• If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.

@I dream of horses: Thank you for such recognition. I would be glad if I will be granted with such an opportunity, so as not to disturb the moderators every time. MarcusTraianus (talk) 20:10, 13 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi MarcusTraianus, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the "autopatrolled" permission to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the autopatrolled right, see Wikipedia:Autopatrolled. However, you should consider adding relevant wikiproject talk-page templates, stub-tags and categories to new articles that you create if you aren't already in the habit of doing so, since your articles will no longer be systematically checked by other editors (User:Evad37/rater and User:SD0001/StubSorter.js are useful scripts which can help). Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! Seddon ^talk 00:06, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Marcus. First off /!\ Warning I'm banned from covid-19 subjects /!\. Regarding this edit of yours: [1]. There are sources out there: [2] And it must be strictly higher than this : [3]. You can also calculate it (rule of 3), by using the CFR which we know with the IFR estimates which we have from plenty of sources. Actually all credible sources mentioning an IFR, HAD to estimate the infections.

So in my eyes, removing the information from the infobox instead of refreshing it was a big step backward. I've been watching this info age poorly since last year without being able to do anything about it. Iluvalar (talk) 03:42, 11 December 2021 (UTC) Edit : Found a new one I might as well share [4].

• @VNgmailcom: Of course. Insurgency is a form of armed conflict. An armed conflict involves an intense confrontation between the parties using various weapons, both light and heavy.

Hello, I would like to inform you that when you create articles, please don’t link the years and use unused Infobox categorization. English Wikipedia has different rules than other wikipedia’s, for example Russian Wikipedia has different guidelines from English Wikipedia.

Thank you for uploading File:Памятник Наговицыну (Ижевск).jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next seven days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — Ирука¹³ 22:02, 25 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:Памятник Наговицыну (Ижевск).jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{permission pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. Here is a list of your uploads. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — Ирука¹³ 22:06, 25 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Caught by an open proxy block but this host or IP is not an open proxy. My IP address is 85.202.228.121. It is dormitory Wi-Fi and I guess some one is using it in a bad way. But at least allow me to edit after I login to my Wikipedia account. I saw what that IP did, and I was never interested or edited any American firm pages. Please, unblock my account and leave non-login ban in force, if it is possible. MarcusTraianus (talk) 11:43, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Accept reason:

This IP is blocked as a proxy, not due to inappropriate editing. It is generally not permitted to edit via proxy as they are often used abusively. That said, I will give you a short term IP block exemption so you can resume editing. For something longer term you will need to contact a checkuser(see WP:IPECPROXY). 331dot (talk) 13:36, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The only thing that changed was the name. They were both per the principle of unified power the organs of the highest organ of state power, that is, the All-Union Supreme Soviet.

You have recently edited a page related to Armenia, Azerbaijan, or related conflicts, 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.

A tag has been placed on File:Artsakh Fighters 27.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

Not a non free image. The image is copy righted by the source website":Community platform by XenForo® © 2010-2023 XenForo Ltd". The date is also wrong. The photo posted on source website during 2018 not 2020.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay.

Hi. Your revert violates the consensus in the relevant lengthy discussion about the status of the conflict; there is a rough consensus to keep it as ongoing. Your edit summary is also synthesis; "After four villages were transferred to Azerbaijan, conflict over Karabakh has ended" – because of the handover of 4 villages doesn't mean the conflict ended, no source actually says that and you didn't cite any either. And as I already said, we have a rough consensus in the relevant discussion to keep the conflict ongoing. In your revert, despite your edit summary being only about the status, you also undid some other edits like improvement of wikilinks to actually match article title (see Armenia–Azerbaijan border crisis (2021–present)), or this edit which I have explained separately in its summary - do not do blank reverts with no explanation please, your edit summary rationale was only about a part of your revert and even than as I said, changing the status is against the talk rough consensus. Please avoid doing any more changes to the status of the article, because as it currently stands, it is rough consensus to have it as ongoing and you haven't provided new sources to prove otherwise. Thanks. Vanezi (talk) 11:16, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• @Vanezi Astghik: I'm sorry, but the entire talk page ended discussion with the conclusion that the conflict is over and that only border conflict is persistent. I do argee with it. No Armenian armed groups are inside Karabakh territory, there are no clashes, and the entire native population fled. There is literally no basis for conflict continuation by all means.

  The discussion didn't end with conflict being over, that's not what most users agreed. Also please see WP:SYNTH and WP:OR. Vanezi (talk) 11:23, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  @Vanezi Astghik: Parishan said so and no coherent counter-agrument has been presented. Anyway, what is the basis for Nagorno-Karabakh conflict continuation, as republic has been dissolved and population fled? I don't get it. MarcusTraianus (talk) 11:26, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  As I said, please see WP:SYNTH and WP:OR. That's not for me and you to decide, as you can clearly see, most users in the discussion agreed that the conflict is ongoing precisely of the other border situations, etc, so there is rough consensus to have it as ongoing. Not only that, you're literally BLANK reverting all of my edits and only rationalizing the status part, why are you doing blank reverts when I asked you not to if you don't explain it fully in the edit summary or here? Please self-revert or I'll have to take this to the relevant noticeboard. Vanezi (talk) 11:29, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  @Vanezi Astghik: Stop referring to the outdated talk page and give evidence that conflict continues. I have edited armed conflict pages for years now, and the Karabakh conflict is over. Don't try to avoid the answer; if hard points that conflict continues are presented, I will revert to your version. MarcusTraianus (talk) 11:33, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  "Stop referring to the outdated talk page and give evidence that conflict continues." - how it's "outdated" when it's the ONLY most recent discussion about the conflict, which had alot of time to develop and reached its conclusion? See WP:STICK and please accept the rough consensus in the extensive discussion, your personal opinions don't matter in this case.

  Also you yourself referred to the discussion in your most recent revert, implying that it isn't over when it pretty much has been over for some months now, but yet here, you ignore the discussion and call it "outdated"?

  And as I already reminded twice in my earlier comments, you not only change the status to "ended" for which YOU should have "hard points" since it's already been roughly agreed to the contrary on talk, you also completely and blindly revert all my other changes which I have explained in the edit summaries, such as fixing the wikilinks to match the actual wikilins of the linked article (Armenia–Azerbaijan border crisis (2021–present)), and removing the awkwardly lede inserted sentence which I explained in my edit summary already [6]. Why do you blindly revert everything and only refer to the status part in your edit summary and here? What's even your explanation for blindly reverting the other things I referred to, which improve the article? Please do not revert all my changes blindly, and if you have a problem with the status only, please don't revert that either - it's been discussed extensively and has rough consensus for 'ongoing' if you re-read again [7].

  @Vanezi Astghik: my dear colleague, Wikipedia isn't based on discussions. It is based on sources. And you again avoided to bring any sources that say that confilct is ongoing.

  Let me say it clear: I don't belong to any camp of the conflict. I see what happened in 2023 as a tragedy of thousands people. But sources say these things:

  1. Atrsakh is dissolved.
  2. Armed Forces of Artsakh are dissolved.
  3. Armenian population totally left the region.
  4. And, finally, today Russian peacekeepers left Karabakh, handing it to the total control of Azerbaijan.

  My role as a moderator of the armed conflict pages is to write what sources say. If you don't like what I am doing, you can always report me to the noticeboard. Until then, I will revert to the last version. MarcusTraianus (talk) 16:40, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  You BLANK reverted again, I explicitly told you to not undo other changes without any explanation. Do you not see that you're not just changing the status despite talk discussion and WP:SYNTH/WP:OR, but that you're also undoing other edits with no explanation for the latter? Stop blank reverting everything with a vague partial explanation, and please self-revert yourself. Vanezi (talk) 11:26, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your upload to Wikipedia:

• File:Issam Zahreddine Image.jpg

You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete or generic. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact source (such as the web page, or printed document) where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain, search engine, pinboard, aggregator, or the direct/bare URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. If you have any questions please ask them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you. — Ирука¹³ 15:29, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
