Why don't you edit these pages according to this way. It is easier to understand it and it's more convenient also. I mean if you edit both pages according to these way (full appearance of the number gross at box office) someone else who reads it will understand easier in that way. So why don't you edit these thre pages in that way; Is it difficult for you;

Will you take a look on the biography of these Russian mathematician. I made it last year by translation from the german wikipedia article de:Pawel Petrowitsch Korowkin. It has not get any large contribution ever that. The german wikipedia also has a article de:Korowkin-Approximation. Please take a look in these articles. I am not sure whether they are notable or not. Solomon7968 (talk) 22:52, 4 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I will have a look, thanks for pointing out.--Ymblanter (talk) 06:59, 5 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ymblanter! Donguz Formation was recently created and could use a couple of edits so it doesn't get speedy deleted. Do you have time to look at some Russian sources? --Tobias1984 (talk) 07:13, 27 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I will have a look, but this is clearly not speedy deletion material. Added to the watchlist just in case.--Ymblanter (talk) 07:17, 27 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Canada lists

// There are a number of problems with the Canadian historic places lists. They include:

  • provincial lists are too long (some are over 1,000 entries) and need to be split
  • lists are not sorted, and are not sortable even by municipality, due to the way the address was dumped
  • don't use {{coord}}, so can't use {{GeoGroup}} for mapping
  • references numbers (into the CRHP) are sometimes inaccurate, and need to be verified
  • the same place may be multiply designated (federal/provincial/municipal, sometimes multiple federal)
  • there are missing entries due to the way the data was retrieved

I have no easy ideas on how to address the last point, so am focusing on the other items. What I'm doing is a multi-step process:

  1. Fill out the municipality field in the {{HPC row}} templates and deleted the municipality (and redundant "Canada") from the address field (if no municipality is given, try going to the referenced CRHP entry to figure it out)
  2. Sort entries by municipality and count entries to figure out how to split the list. This is generally along the lines of counties or their equivalent (some Canadian counties have been supplanted by regional municipalities, see the Nova Scotia list for examples); you'll have to figure out which counties places are in
  3. Split the big list; I've not been explicitly seeking consensus, but if the history indicates it might be needed, best check for it. The remaining steps are then done to each sublist.
  4. Validate that the id numbers actually link to the proper CRHP listing. If they don't, find the right one by searching the CRHP (every listing I've seen with a wrong id was listed under a different one)
  5. Merge duplicated listings where possible (it isn't if there is more than one federal designation, for example, but provincial and municipal listings can be merged into those)
  6. Sort the list by primary alpha words (see the Nova Scotia or PEI lists for examples)
  7. Change references to {{HPC row}} to {{HPC rowt}}, which uses {{coord}}. This requires changing "lat" and "lon" to "latd" and "longd", and changing the sign on the longitude. (IMHO the last is lame, but the template was already in use on several lists before I took this on)
  8. Make sure municipality names are linked (I usually do this in conjunction with one of the other passes, and don't worry about redlinks)
  9. If the name field contains pipe links, add "namea" field containing just the name, otherwise the coordinate field gets screwed up
  10. Add {{GeoGroup}} and a locator map to the top of the list

I have done this for Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, PEI (almost done), and am starting in on New Brunswick. Others have previously done work on the Canadian territory lists (Yukon, Northwest, Nunavut, all fairly modest in length), and those for British Columbia and Saskatchewan. This leaves Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario, and Quebec to do, where some splitting has been done, but little else.

Things this work does not do fix:

  • making the list sortable by address, which would require adding sort keys to the municipality field so that the listings get sorted properly within municipality (see {{sort}})
  • making the list properly sortable by name (I tried putting sort keys in the name field, and it caused problems with the coordinates)

Did I mention this is tedious work? Thanks for helping! Magic♪piano 20:53, 22 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the explanations. I will have a look at Alberta tomorrow.--Ymblanter (talk) 20:56, 22 August 20/13 (UTC)

Japan

Hi Ymblanter, in case you want to help: The Historic Sites of Japan need to be converted to use {{NHS Japan header}} and {{NHS Japan row}}. For now only the national part. I did a couple as examples. Multichill (talk) 15:41, 25 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I will have a look.--Ymblanter (talk) 16:08, 25 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hello; Is it possible to do any conversion by ?bot? as seems to have been done for these Chinese ones? The format of the Japanese lists is intended to be internally similar, Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 11:39, 26 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I guess this is more a question to @Multichill: than to me, but I guess if it were he would do the conversion himself without asking me. Let us wait what he answers. If the conversion is not possible, I volunteer to do at least some of the manual conversion (one-two lists per day).--Ymblanter (talk) 11:50, 26 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I tried converting with a bot, but didn't manage to do it without too much mess so I abandoned that. Multichill (talk) 16:51, 26 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]


Cleaning up the Belarus geographical mess

I'm getting unstuck in trying to compile a table of terminology for the Belarus geographical naming conventions. There appears to be a flood of new articles and stubs recently and it appears that English Wikipedia is now leading the way with transliteration/transcription norms (which, as we know, simply isn't Wikipedia's role). As the contributors don't seem to know what to do other than follow the current directives, we're ending up with orphaned pages and broken links absolutely everywhere.

My thoughts are to follow the Belarusian government standards for the English speaking world (which DON'T involve the irritating version of what is essentially Latinka), i.e. as laid out per this map and other official sites. What's good enough for the Belarus government should be good enough for us.

You can check the sad beginnings in my sandbox. Any constructive input from sensible Wikipedians would be appreciated.

I've left this message on Ezhiki and TaalVerbeteraar's pages as well. Cheers! --Iryna Harpy (talk) 04:54, 28 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The beginning seems reasonable, thank you.--Ymblanter (talk) 17:53, 28 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, again!

Hi, what does this mean? "председатель Главметалла ВСНХ СССР"? Im' struggling with the meaning of "Главметалла"... --TIAYN (talk) 16:37, 22 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It is literally translated as Chief Metal, probably an abbreviation of Chief Direction of Metallurgy or smth like this. I am not sure whether there is an official translation.--Ymblanter (talk) 16:53, 22 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Probably not, abolished before the 1940s (small body).. So Head of the Metallurgy Directorate/Committee of the Supreme Soviet of the National Economy? --TIAYN (talk) 16:56, 22 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Sounds good (either way)--Ymblanter (talk) 17:08, 22 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Is this you?

Are you the subject of the page Yaroslav Blanter? If so, it's awesome that you're notable--I had seen your username here and there before but didn't know you who you were at all, much less that you already had your own bio here. Everymorning (talk) 18:33, 22 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I thought you would find a good usage. I refuse to answer your question.--Ymblanter (talk) 18:56, 22 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, I didn't mean to offend you by adding the connected contributor template to the talk page, and didn't know you would consider it undue to add it. I was aware you had never edited the page (since you just said so here), and I didn't mean to imply wrongdoing on your part. Everymorning (talk) 19:04, 22 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Well, the template says that NPOV, COI or Autobio may apply to the article. It would directly harm my professional reputation. I mean, it is fine if someone writes an article about me, even if it is outdated, but this is not at all fine when the talk page gets a template saying I possibly added NPOV to the article, even though I never edited it.--Ymblanter (talk) 19:07, 22 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If you think another article could be created on this subject, you can start a draft, in the draft space (Draft:AutoX), and when you think it is ready to move to the article space, add a template for other users to accept the submission.--Ymblanter (talk) 05:41, 25 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A new copy-paste detection bot is now in general use on English Wikipedia. Come check it out at the EranBot reporting page. This bot utilizes the Turnitin software (ithenticate), unlike User:CorenSearchBot that relies on a web search API from Yahoo. It checks individual edits rather than just new articles. Please take 15 seconds to visit the EranBot reporting page and check a few of the flagged concerns. Comments welcome regarding potential improvements.

Good work reverting the copyvio [1]. The bot hasn't updated recently, but it is never 'down' for too long. --Lucas559 (talk) 19:44, 25 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again..

Question, I've currently been working on the Central Committee elected by the 14th Congress of the All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks) ("table-izing" it, if that make sense), but there is one problem, the article is currently missing the birth- and death date and the birthname of the Finance Department head P. N. Ivanov.. Would you know a Russian WP user willing to track down info on, at least, his birthname? Or is this information missing (which I find hard to believe, its not even 100 years since he died!) ... You were born in the USSR, interesting! I was born in 1993; I kind of like the idea of anonymous users working together (it breaks down social barriers such as seniority for instance).... In any case, do you a user who is interested in these things (other than me?) --TIAYN (talk) 09:10, 30 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I should be able to figure this out myself, but I am travelling until next Sunday (one more week). I will try to remember, but if I do not come back say within two weeks from now you would pretty much oblige me by pinging me about the issue.--Ymblanter (talk) 17:52, 30 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
OK.. Could you move Stanislav Strumilin (politician) to Stanislav Strumilin? --TIAYN (talk) 12:46, 5 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ymblanter, can you review the page "Lineup Atlantic" that was deleted. Many 3rd party sources have appeared since its deletion and even Rovi has registered the artist in their system. Google verified as a legitimate and notable act/group that is referred about when searched on google. Can you review this and get it back up so that 3rd party sources can be added?

Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by Itsokayalright (talkcontribs) 16:53, 8 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If you want, I can restore it as a draft.--Ymblanter (talk) 17:39, 8 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Solved it yet? ... Question, do you know of any site that gives a summary of what each CPSU CC plenum decided? For example, that the 2nd Plenary Session of the 16th Congress decided to increase the annual production of iron with 45 percent?--TIAYN (talk) 07:39, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
No, unfortunately I spent some time searching, and nothing comes out. The only thing which I could find out is that the guy joined VKP(b) in 1918. For the second question, this seems to be the most complete corps, but I did not try to seacrh for decisions like what you mention.--Ymblanter (talk) 08:04, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The problem with knowbysight is that it doesn't actually mention resolutions produced by the CC, only when the CC convenes. . OK --TIAYN (talk) 22:30, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Amman Climate

I reverted one of your edits on the climate data for Amman. You might had made a mistake of [reverting your own edit https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Amman&type=revision&diff=576964652&oldid=576964630] because that edit reintroduced record highs and lows added by the user before. The record highs and lows that were added by the user before are unsourced and should be removed until further notice, particularly when an article is a potential good article candidate. I checked both the world meteorological organization and Hong Kong observatory sources for the climate data and none of them have any info on record highs or lows. Ssbbplayer (talk) 01:56, 13 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

SNL season disruptions

Hello, Ymblanter. I had once contacted you about an IP user who continually makes disruptive edits to Saturday Night Live season pages. Lately the IP has been at it again. You had suggested adding pending changes to the articles, but is there really no action that can be taken against the user in question? These edits have gone on literally for years. I'm not sure pending changes are needed, since this is the only disruptive user. Please let me know if you have any advice, thanks. -- Wikipedical (talk) 18:25, 30 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If I see it correctly, all the contribution of the user is adding smth, followed by an immediate self-revert. It is odd, I agree, but why it is disruptive?--Ymblanter (talk) 18:29, 30 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Tobias

Hi, There are two new accounts EuropeanEuropean and FrancisTyler on WP:NCGN that appear to be Tobias but there's hardly any en.wiki contributions other than on that page but there's some wikidata contribs for the first one. I have no idea about what goes on at Wikidata but from the past SPIs I've gathered that Tobias likes going there, but my knowledge of Tobias is also quite limited, so I don't know if these are sufficient for an SPI. Can you take a look to see if these two match our friend please? I'd asked GZWDer but they haven't edited in a while. cheers. —SpacemanSpiff 03:24, 1 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Altaic languages

Hello,

Thank you for your message.

I don't understand what is happening with the "widely discredited" bit in the lede of the above article. I don't believe it should be there, it is a loaded statement and does not represent the "neutral point of view". The Altaic theory is not universally accepted, but that is already clearly stated in the article. Since the comment has been added, more than 5 different users have reverted the change. The discussion on the talk page is not settled at all.

I'm new to editing Wikipedia, so please explain to me how this works. You and the other two guys can add something controversial that has been opposed by more than three users, for which there is no consensus on the talk page despite your claim? 5+ users oppose the change, have reverted it to the previous version, you and the other two keep reverting back. How am I guilty of "edit warring" and you are not?

77.58.120.53 (talk) 09:54, 1 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You are guilty of edit warring because you are edit warring. My talk page is not a proper venue to discuss the content; please go to the talk page of the article as you were advised earlier.--Ymblanter (talk) 10:03, 1 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I asked a question on your talk page because you advised me to do so if I have questions.

"Questions, ask me on my talk page, or click here to ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. Again, welcome! --Ymblanter"

What is your contribution to this anyway? You haven't added anything meaningful to this debate, other than satisfying your obsessive-compulsive need to thought-police others. I feel very welcome indeed. 77.58.120.53 (talk) 12:24, 1 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

As you like. My contribution was to warn you that you would most likely be blocked if you fail to stop edit-warring. It looks like you got this point.--Ymblanter (talk) 12:53, 1 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't get that I'm afraid. What I did get is there's no point to even try editing Wikipedia, it's controlled by maniacs like yourself, who obviously think you have a better claim to it than any normal person. You are clearly not even remotely interested in this subject, you just like spending your time lecturing others. I for one am done trying to edit, and I know I'm not the only one that has been discouraged by the likes of you. Wikipedia will not improve if you keep treating it like your own fiefdom, and not allow people who might actually have something relevant to say on a particular topic to do so. Goodbye. 77.58.120.53 (talk) 13:03, 1 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Declined protection of Beach Cops

Hi, I refer to your declining semi-protection of Beach Cops and Border Security: Australia's Front Line. I understand your reasoning and happily accept it doesn't meet the justifications of WP:PP, however I would like to ask your advice on if there is anything I can do to get the message through to the IP user(s) who add information without any source. While I am confident with near certainty that the additions he/she makes are factually correct, they never provide a reference for their edits. As I say the info they're adding is correct, and I would happily add the source for them if the IP user just doesn't know how to do it, but I don't know where they are getting their information from.

I've left messages on talk pages of some of the IP addresses and put some citation needed tags up, but between the sheer bulk and frequency of information being added, as well as the IP address often changing between edits, it is a little complex. I thought if the page prevented them from editing they might get the message, create an account and learn the basics of editing. So, failing that, any advice you could give would be helpful. Thanks for your time, User:Whats new?(talk) 00:34, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Whats new?: In that case, there was only one bad edit in the page history, so that it was too early to talk about IP hopping. If there is a similar pattern of editing with IP hopping say three times in a couple of days, a new RFPP request with clarification would be perfectly warranted.--Ymblanter (talk) 00:37, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Ymblanter: Thanks for the reply. It was just that the user has done it repeatedly with a number of similar programs, such as Highway Patrol and The Force: Behind The Line. The problem with meeting the page protection requirements is the user typically only edits once a week, after the episode has aired (all of the above shows air weekly currently). The user typically adds the ratings for the previous night's episode and the synopsis and title. So unfortunently it is not unsourced edits multiple times in a week, but rather consistently once a week after an episode of a program airs. I believe the user has good intentions and isn't adding malicious info, but it is just difficult to contact the user or get their attention with respect to adding valid sources with each of their edits. User:Whats new?(talk) 00:44, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Whats new?: It sounds like pending changes is a viable option. We can start with a finite term, say three months or half a year, and see how it works. But for that we need to see the pattern of unconstructive edits, more than one or two edits.--Ymblanter (talk) 01:16, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Ymblanter: OK, I hadn't even thought of that one, but perhaps it would be more appropriate in this case. The particular program I applied for semi-protection Beach Cops premieres this weekend (I was attempting to get in early before the IP user went wild) so perhaps I'll keep a closer eye on it and if unsourced edits occur weekly, I'll re-apply under pending changes.

RFPP

(Much as I'm loathed to get pulled into something I only commented on in passing). There appears to be an apparent juxtaposition between the text of the RFPP with the explicit need to "See also WP:AN/EW discussion."[3] and the block action which "followed a RFPP request (only came later across this thread)"[4]. There appears to be a contradiction here, and I would appreciate if you could help me understand the thought process undertaken. —Sladen (talk) 04:24, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I first went to RFPP, looked into the history of the article, saw 8 reverts by the same user, checked that reverts do not conform with 3RR, and blocked the user. Then I went to ANI/EW.--Ymblanter (talk) 04:27, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Can you suggest how it could have been made more explicit that relevant discussion would likely require reading before action. (I'm unclear in this case whether the text of the RFPP itself was read, or not). —Sladen (talk) 04:31, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I am not sure how I can be made REQUIRED to read it. The decision is fully within my discretion. You are welcome to appeal it if you wish.--Ymblanter (talk) 04:35, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I would be hesitant to request an appeal as it might create feelings of conflict[5], when calmness is preferable—hence this quiet discussion in order to re-talk-through the thought processes and outcomes. Perhaps there is a relatively clean way forward for all; as the acting admin, in a difficult case, that admin is in the unique position of being able to migrate a decision to WP:ANI/WP:AN without introducing bias. Alternatively, would you be able to suggest other ways of working through this (which could include relying on the status quo). —Sladen (talk) 04:54, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
IMO, there are two issues: (i) whether BMK should have been blocked / article protected; (ii) whether the disputed paragraph should be in the article. Are we discussing (i) now?--Ymblanter (talk) 04:56, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
(gently, gently, please) Because of the clear separation of administrator and content roles (either-or, but not both duties at same time), it is unlikely that an acting admin would be, or would have been, in a position to consider "whether the disputed paragraph should be in the article" whilst processing an RFPP. Looking at this discussion here, I can only see items that correspond to the process undertaken: "(i)". —Sladen (talk) 05:18, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed, I have nothing to do with (ii), I only checked that the paragraph in my opinion does not qualify as an unambiguos BLP violation. Now, returning to (i), BMK has been unblocked and promised not to edit the paper. Do you still believe protection would be necessary (in which case we will need to go to AN)?--Ymblanter (talk) 05:22, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
As there are complexities, yes, gaining wider clarification via WP:ANI would probably be useful for all, as a useful future reference point. That will take some take and is non-immediate; and complex WP:AN/EW discussions generally are non-immediate too and take some time. Whilst the processes and discussion do take place it might make sense to provide for page protection. WP:AN/AE is capable of issuing blocks in the fullness of time, and likely would have in this instance. RFPP is normally the best and fastest way to effect a speedy PP from a non-involved thiry-party, and this was the through-process behind my own instigating of the request.
Would you be comfortable and/or willing to re-access the original RFPP request (ideally leaving the article in the safest state possible in the meantime); and then afterwards taking the leading on raising the sequence of events for review at WP:ANI. This would, in the long run hopefully ensure everyone has a better idea in the future about what the consensus view is likely to be in complex situation like this? I think would be useful to have on the record down the line. —Sladen (talk) 05:48, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
No problem. In my book, this is AN, not ANI, but this should not be too important. Will leave a request a while later, and then I will have to leave and catch my plane in Tokyo Haneda, so that the discussion might start without me.--Ymblanter (talk) 05:54, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, and safe travels! —Sladen (talk) 05:57, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It seemed to get side-tracked pretty quickly, and so didn't result in the perhaps wished-for long-term insight into RFPP/BLP.[6] Thank you for trying anyway. —Sladen (talk) 23:00, 19 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
This is what AN/ANI discussions typically do.--Ymblanter (talk) 05:33, 20 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I try to edit articles related to Russian-Ukrainian war as little as I can. I gave my opinion on the talk page, this should be enough. Edit-warring is not an eligible means of reaching consensus.--Ymblanter (talk) 15:52, 1 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for that

I really wanted to retire at that time but after some time I thought that was not the correct decision, so I came back. I wanted full protection because I wanted nobody to edit my user page. I felt bad for you because you protected my page but after few hours another admin lowered the protection. I sometimes get very angry when things don't go my way and I take very bad decisions. Yeah, that's a good reason to oppose me. - Supdiop (T🔹C) 20:28, 1 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There is no problem with you changing your mind, and definitely no problem with another admin overriding my protection at your request, but more stability is expected from an admin candidate.--Ymblanter (talk) 20:37, 1 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. You protected Staffing from being edited yesterday. Is it possible to give us another chance to contribute to it? I'm supervising the Education Program:University College London/MSIN1003 Information World (Autumn 2015) and one of the students is editing it as part of the assignment.

Ok, but pls instruct the student to absolutely exclude edit-warring. If their edits get reverted, they should go to the talk page and discuss.--Ymblanter (talk) 17:27, 3 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your revert of my edits in Ahmadiyya Jabrayilov

What POV do you see in my edits? Cathry (talk) 16:09, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This POV in the selection of your sources.--Ymblanter (talk) 16:10, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I did not select any sources there. They were added by other editors Cathry (talk) 16:14, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Just do not play games, I am not an idiot. You are pretty active in the Russian Wikipedia, you have read the whole deletion discussion, you did not like the arguments there and decided to take the revenge here, hoping that nobody speaks Russian and nobody would ever try to understand which sources are reliable and which are not. This is the most efficient way to get yourself blocked, especially since your activity in Ukraine-related topics is, well, far from ideal and is best described as a strong POV pushing. You perfectly know what you are doing, and I do not see why we should pretend you do not.--Ymblanter (talk) 16:23, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Unfortunately, you can not read minds. But you are demonstrating your POV clearly. So, you have not arguments, what was wrong with my edits. P.S. I remember you in Ukraine-related topics too. Cathry (talk) 16:29, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
As I mentioned, I am not here to play games. You perfectly know what you are doing, and you do not need my explanations for this. If an Arbcom needs them at some point, I will be happy to provide my reasoning.--Ymblanter (talk) 16:40, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Marianna Yarovskaya

Hi Ymblanter

You have deleted Marianna Yarovskaya page which was created through the AFC process, with different content and references.

Can you please restore the page.

Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Iamothers (talkcontribs) 01:22, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It had essentially the same content and should not be created through AfC. Please apply to Wikipedia:Deletion review, this is the proper way to evaluate the notability and see whether the article can be restored.--Ymblanter (talk) 06:38, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

In this page there is a red template at the beginning. I tried to remove it, but it created more error. --Galaxy Kid (talk) 06:46, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A vandal introduced an error earlier today, now I fixed it.--Ymblanter (talk) 06:50, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

FYI

Hello Y. Part of my wikignome work is dealing with articles in the Category:Wikipedia pages with incorrect protection templates. Today African Americans showed up in the cat. I note in the log that you moved the protection settings when you moved the article but something must have gone awry with that action. Sometimes a null edit takes care of this but I performed one and that did not remove the article from the cat. I have seen a couple other page moves where the protections got dropped during the move but I don't know for sure whether that happened here or not. It could be as simple as applying new protections but it could also be something else. When you have a moment if you could check on this situation it would be much appreciated. MarnetteD|Talk 15:18, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for alerting me. I do not know what the reason is, I made a dummy edit, if it does not work, I will have a more close look. --Ymblanter (talk) 20:27, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for working on this. Looks like the dummy edit did not work in getting it out of the cat. Is there any way to check whether the article is actually protected? An article like this is ripe territory for vandals so I'll also ping Redrose64 who is adept at dealing with these. Cheers. MarnetteD|Talk 20:46, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
No, it was not protected. Now I reprotected it.--Ymblanter (talk) 20:52, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
When a page is moved, the prot settings move with it. Prot settings are lost in three cases: (a) if they expire; (b) if they are removed by an admin; (c) if the page is deleted and undeleted. A check of the logs for African Americans shows no protection entries before today; but remember that when you move a page, the logs are not moved. So the prot history for that page is still with the logs for African American. --Redrose64 (talk) 21:05, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. But, according to the logs, the page was protected at the point of moving.--Ymblanter (talk) 21:07, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I just remembered that the big pink warning box above the editing field is the way to know if it is protected (though it should be noted that pending changes protection does not have that) and your reprotection has taken care of that. Thanks to you both for working on this. MarnetteD|Talk 21:17, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oops it is still in the "incorrect template cat". I wonder if removing the protection templates that came across in the move and then adding new ones might fix things. MarnetteD|Talk 21:28, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Looks like only one template should have been there, not two of them.--Ymblanter (talk) 22:04, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That got it. I appreciated your taking the time to deal with this. Best regards. MarnetteD|Talk 22:37, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Page deleted: Marianna Yarovskaya

Hi. I see that you deleted the page Marianna Yarovskaya that I passed through AfC. First, AFAIK, one can recreate pages that have been previously deleted, unless they have been salted. G4 means that it was virtually identical to the previous page. I don't know how to look at that -- could you clue me in, or let me see what you saw? Then I can avoid passing such articles through AfC in the future. Thanks. LaMona (talk) 17:42, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I checked the two versions and could not find any major difference. In this case, as I mentioned two topics above, I am afraid it should go via the deletion review. If you see that the article was previously deleted as not notable, it is probably safer to consult an administrator before moving it to the main space (unless there are some issues in the deletion discussion which have been clearly solved in the new version). If you need, you can always ask me, if I am around, I should be able to do it quickly. Even better, become an administrator, I believe you are fully qualified.--Ymblanter (talk) 20:26, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, so the way I can request sources is by putting a banner, right? --CounterTime (talk) 10:38, 15 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
This is also possible, however, {{cn}} is preferable. Just put them where they are really needed (where info looks doubtful), not everywhere.--Ymblanter (talk) 10:40, 15 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, thanks, I'll add a banner. --CounterTime (talk) 10:40, 15 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Feel free to remove them, I can not watch every Wikipedia article. This one already has a banner template; I believe only specific {{cn}} templates should be left. May be a talk page discussion would be good to start as well.--Ymblanter (talk) 14:21, 15 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ymblanter, I saw your block here and checked his immediate /64 range which shows that he isn't really blocked...he can keep popping up. Those other edits are definitely him. 2601:14C:0:F6E9:0:0:0:0/64 is the correct range for blocking. The larger /48 range seems to have an additional editor interested in martial arts.

Putin article

Let me explain to you why I undid your undoing of my edit. First, perhaps in haste, you also undid my adding references to the article that your "fact" tags were calling for. Second, as for the "loaded term", I suggest you look up the Webster dictionary definition of the term "liberation" as the act of liberating defined as " to free (as a country) from domination by a foreign power". It seems to me that you undid my edit in haste. I suggest we take a greater effort and more time to make our edits better. Best regards, Nrakh (talk)

It is clearly not a foreig power from which Sloviansk was "liberated". It is a civil war. The majority of the LNR forces have Ukrainian citizenship. Therefore, the term does not apply. And it is not accidental that the article itself does not have the word "liberation" in the title.--Ymblanter (talk) 11:27, 29 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Calling a Russian invasion a "civil war" is not neutral at all in my opinion but perhaps we get our news from different sources.In any case this may be moot now since you just placed a warning with a threat of editing restrictions which I really think was uncalled for. I tried to add some referenced encyclopedic info to the article but if my edits made you feel so strongly that you resorted to such threatening language, I really don't "need" to edit this article so much as to continue the antagonize you. Feel free to undo my work and edit the article as you please. I really have better things to do than to engage in online wars. Nrakh (talk)

Would you take a look at the sources for Draft:Alex Gilbert at this list of sources by DmitryPopovRU at User talk:Cunard#Alex Gilbert and determine whether they provide substantial coverage of the subject and establish notability?

Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2015 August 24#Alex Gilbert was closed as "deletion endorsed". A subsequent DRV at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2015 October 29#Draft:Alex Gilbert was closed as "No consensus to allow recreation. Please don't renominate unless something significant changes." The DRVs didn't have enough fluent Russian speakers to evaluate the sources so no clear consensus was reached. Thank you, Cunard (talk) 05:23, 3 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I can do it,but I am not sure how much time do I have today or tomorrow, the weekend is more likely.--Ymblanter (talk) 06:32, 3 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, Ymblanter. Arthistorian1977 has commented on the Russian sources, indicating that they don't establish notability. At the DRV, Spartaz said his Russian was "rusty", felt "conflicted" about whether BLP1E was applicable after reading the sources, and recommended a relist based on the sources. If you could provide a third opinion over the weekend, that would be very helpful. Thank you, Cunard (talk) 05:03, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
As far as I can see, the sources in the last portion are fine. Most of them are local (Yaroslavl is a city of just under a million, so that they would be ok); two of them are coming from central media. The problem is that all of them say the same, in two or three paragraphs - the guy came from NZ to meet hi biological parents, found them, and there is a documentary about it. Looks to me like ONEEVENT, but I did not go into details.--Ymblanter (talk) 20:27, 5 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for taking the time to review and analyze the sources. It looks like it is not the right time to take Alex Gilbert back to DRV. Cunard (talk) 22:20, 6 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, feel free to ask again of needed.--Ymblanter (talk) 06:31, 7 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

About Timber72 report closure

I'm curious what you meant here: "...I am disappointed nobody has done this before." I thought that I had warned Timber72 before, as I linked to in the EWN report, unless that's not what you meant someone should have done before. Note that he removed the warning, which of course is his prerogative once he had read it. --FyzixFighter (talk) 13:57, 6 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, my bad. Sorry, will correct now.--Ymblanter (talk) 14:00, 6 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I can see that discussing things with you gentlemen/ladies doesn't get anywhere. I suppose I will have to involve dispute resolution. You are letting your personal opinions/biases dictate Wikipedia editing, and that is completely inappropriate.

December 2015

Your "edit warring" warning on my talk page is inappropriate, inaccurate, and a threat. I am quite familiar with Wikipedia editing policies, and have edited articles according to those policies. It is merely your (unsubstantiated) opinion (unverifiable) that I have not edited according to Wikipedia policy, and threatening others without due cause is a violation of reason, if not Wikipedia policy as well. If you continue to post such threats, you will be reported to administration. Timber72 (talk) 16:13, 6 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please report me know, this will simplify things enormously. The sooner you get blocked the easier.--Ymblanter (talk) 16:19, 6 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I will be happy to do so. The sooner you get blocked, the easier, too. What's with all these threats? This is not how Wikipedia works, according to policy. Timber72 (talk) 16:29, 6 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Extend PC time? --George Ho (talk) 18:32, 6 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Seems to have been no vandalism recently.--Ymblanter (talk) 18:34, 6 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

What about this one? --George Ho (talk) 18:39, 6 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This one is better, extended--Ymblanter (talk) 18:50, 6 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If you don't understand look at the pages Talk:2010 in film,Talk:2011 in film and Talk:2012 in film and se what I have done.Then you will understand what I am talking about. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.86.255.196 (talk) 17:11, 8 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No, please post at the talk pages and see what the editor reaction is.--Ymblanter (talk) 17:15, 8 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Why don't you edit these pages according to this way. It is easier to understand it and it's more convenient also. I mean if you edit both pages according to these way (full appearance of the number gross at box office) someone else who reads it will understand easier in that way. So why don't you edit these thre pages in that way; Is it difficult for you;
