June 2017[edit]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Talk:Czech Republic. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been reverted.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continual disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. The talk page is for direct discussion of improvements to the article. Nothing more. DMacks (talk) 02:10, 28 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@DMacks:That discussion was closed very abruptly, some accusations were made, I was not given chance to explain misunderstandings on the place where it started and belongs. My good faith closure(!) edit could be left there without making a deal of it, the thread would have an ending, but wikipedia guidelines were followed strictly and mercifully: someoone says discussion is over so it is over, period. It would be better to delete whole 'disruptive' thread than leave it this way unresolved. Chrzwzcz (talk) 16:48, 28 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

June 2018[edit]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Name of the Czech Republic. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. R9tgokunks ⯃ 17:59, 11 June 2018 (UTC) @R9tgokunks: Outrageous! You delete relevant information without consensus and you threat here with blocking. Chrzwzcz (talk) 19:26, 11 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Discretionary sanctions notice[edit]

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in Eastern Europe or the Balkans. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

A suggestion[edit]

My experience is that you are much less likely to persuade people on Wikipedia when you are snarky or mock their opinions.--Mojo Hand (talk) 17:05, 7 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

My experience is my experience, I know what to expect, I've seen it all, I read it all, don't worry. Same people, same opinions, full circle.Chrz (talk) 18:53, 7 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If you really think that, then why waster your time here? I've seen a lot of articles and policies change over the years - usually it happens when people on both sides have an open mind and are willing to seek consensus. I've never seen anyone convinced by mockery.

Personally, my view on the word "Czechia" has changed a little over the years, and I even use it myself sometimes. Your comments on the Czech Republic talk page make me want to disagree with you, and they are actively counterproductive if you are trying to promote changing the name.--Mojo Hand (talk) 19:11, 7 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Meh. Open mind is what I have all the time. That's why I propose only what is thinkable. I can't win RM Czech Republic->Czechia, so I do not proppose it. But why all the sudden "Czech lands" are bad? Leave it be or put Czechia there. I can just hope more people come to talk because the usual suspects will be always against, still creating new obstacles no other name had to overcome. When someone is confusing politics with geography, feel free to disagree with me, but facts are facts... It is not like eg. Kyiv/Kiev where it would be strange to switch between those back and forth in one article. Czechia and Czech Republic are not "spelling synonyms", therefore eligible to use both in one article. BTW good for you, at least someone changes his mind, but facts should matter, not some personal whim and feelings about who says it and in what "tone". Chrz (talk) 20:28, 7 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe you know[edit]

Has the en-WP "Czechia or Czech Republic" discussions had any good coverage in Czech media? Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 15:02, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Do you mean Czech media covering discussion ON EN WIKI? Does any media cover wikipedia discussions? Chrz (talk) 15:19, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It has happened once or twice. I think Ukrainian media wrote about "Kyiv".

Wikipedia:Press coverage 2021
Wikipedia:Wikipedia on TV and radio
Wikipedia:Wikipedia in blogs
"This article has been mentioned by multiple media organizations:" at Talk:2021 storming of the United States Capitol

All is not about WP discussions, but plenty is. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 15:48, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Czech media covered adoption of Czechia when it happened and after that just several articles (Google maps adopted, Czechs reluctant to use, Prime minister surprised after 4 years etc.)

Czech media barely covered that Enwiki still changes Czechia to formal name.

IMHO Czech media never covered talks on English Wikipedia about Czechia.

Chrz (talk) 15:59, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough. If you find any, consider adding it on the above pages. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 16:01, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

2022 IIHF World Championship unexplained revert[edit]

Hello, can you please explain? FromCzech (talk) 11:14, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@FromCzech Jednoduché. Je vidět, že Wikipedia by se už klidně smířila s dvojkolejností, prostě ve sportu (zde hokeji) už jsme Czechia navzdory tomu, že stát je zde pojmenován formálně. Sice je to první velká vlaštovka, ale že ji přijdou zadusit v rozletu hned hlavně Češi ukazuje smutný fakt, proč to trvá už 30. rok prosadit jednoslovné nepolitické jméno - pár dobře umístěných škodičů. Všimněte si, že ta šablonka má zcela ZÁMĚRNĚ možnost vepsat tam jiné jméno než defaultní, s těmi případy se prostě počíétá. Nechte, ať si to tady vyřeší anglicky hovořící, když budou trvat na tom, že Czechii nebudou používat ani ve sportu, dokud ji neuslyší nadpoloviční většinou ve všech oblastech lidského konání, a navzdory tomu, že bude svítit na všech výsledkových sportovních tabulích, tak ať si hrají na slepé. I když jsou jasné příklady výjimek a Wikipedie (a ta šablonka) je schopná pojmout více jmen. Ale aby Češi tady dusili sami sebe, to je docela pikantní. Ani bych se nedivil, kdybyste byl prostě z principu proti tomu jménu zaujatý a snažil se Czechii naházet co nejvíc klacků pod nohy, aby se to zdrželo o dalších 30 let... a každá výmluva by byla dobrá. Nomen omen znamenalo, že sám máte nelogické jméno, pokud ovšem nemá znamenat, že jste z Češky, pak ano :) Třeba se pletu, ale negativních zkušeností mám na rozdávání. Chrz (talk) 11:29, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It seems that your main and almost only interest in English wikipedia is to defend and promote the name Czechia, and it is difficult to try to have a constructive debate with you. You don't understand that I'm not against the name of Czechia as such, but against using it in this environment before it becomes a more common name than the Czech Republic and the Czech Republic page will be moved – then it will be changed everywhere at once. But here the internal transfer from the Czech Republic to Czechia within the IIHF is used as an argument that it is now appropriate to use the Czech Republic for encyclopedic purposes, and that's just not how it works, this is not a sports newspaper. Use this argument when the next discussion about the CR page move will take place, then the name will be changed on the 2022 IIHF World Championship page as well.

And please stop insulting me through my nickname, if you know nothing about how it originated, it's hard to take you seriously when you're down to such things. FromCzech (talk) 11:51, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Since you basically admitted that you returned it just for the new name promotion, and gave no further argument, I will undo it. FromCzech (talk) 11:56, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nekoukl jste se na diskuzní stránku, kde jasně uvádím, že používání více jmen (a hlavně ve sportu) je možné NEZÁVISLE na jméně hlavního článku o státu.

Místo toho argumentujete tím, že Wikipedie prostě musí být jednotná, i kdyby měla popírat zdroje do množství třeba až 49.99 %.

Říkám, nechte to rozhodnout anglicky hovořící, oni si to tam přidali, oni jsou schopni to pojmout, a vy jako aktivní Čech jim to zas odmazáváte. Takže kdo je nekonstruktivní. Chrz (talk) 12:03, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, I wasn't looking on the talk page and notice it was discussed. But the only one who advocates the change there is you, no one unbiased. This is not only about the consistency with the name of the country page, but also with previous IIHF championships and with Czech Republic men's national ice hockey team. It is not comparable to Great Britain or Chinese Taipei. FromCzech (talk) 12:27, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Tak se podívejte do historie, já s tím nepřišel, já jen zrušil váš výmaz, který byl vyargumentován právě jen všeobjímající wikikonzistentností. Konzistentností, která se u jiných států nevyžaduje, když je patrno, že v některých oblastech by prostě takové vynucování šlo přes mrtvoly a popíralo zdroje. S těmi příklady to srovnatelné je, Czechia je mezi nimi samozřejmě nejnovější a nejslabší zástupce, ale určitě to ukazuje, že nemilosrdná unifikace z toho pravidla ne-vy-plý-vá. Co takové United States / USA / United States of America / America, s těmi žongluje enwiki jak se jí zlíbí (ano je to jedna z "domovských" zemí enwiki) a taky funguje spíš užití po jednotlivých oblastech než napříč úplně vším.

Jestli je jeden ročník hokejového MS už "oblastí" kde by vynucování jednoho jména nesnesitelně ohýbalo zdroje, to jsem právě chtěl nechat zhodnotit i jiné. Jedna dvě výjimky by taky wikipedii nezabily a ukázaly by aspoň do příští diskuze o přesunu, že je tu dobrá vůle nějaká "vydobytá" území Czechii přenechat. Chrz (talk) 13:39, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
