Hi, user ymblanter, take the time to review cited references. Firstly, I am personally close to Chimamanda. Secondly, as you are native to russian and kazakhstan (sp.) I am native to Nigeria-America. Thirdly, follow the already existing biography in her content - she went to school in the US (requiring j1 visa), continued on to her Masters, and a fellowship (requires LEGAL residency, in turn a Green Card). I live in MD. Her husband is a Nigerian-American doctor who runs an active practice in MD. She has a child and by (https://www.uscis.gov/us-citizenship/citizenship-through-naturalization/naturalization-spouses-us-citizens) she becomes a US citizen. How is this confusing for you? |

User:Shivanshsinghrajpoot
You blocked this editor, and I see he's been blocked before. Could you take a look at the history of Government Polytechnic Soron Kasganj? I tightened up the article, including removing his name from both the list of students and the caption space in the infobox, but numerous IPs have been restoring some of the stuff I removed - and some that I condensed and moved to another place in the article. If the IPs are not him, I imagine they are his friends. The thing is, he/they are not doing any favors for the institution, in my view, with such trivia. I also cleaned up several of his other articles, and I'm concerned that unless he comes to understand the reason why I and others make such changes, he will continue to create very poor articles. I wrote him a note on his user talk after the first such IP appeared after his block. Maybe you disagree with some of my thinking, including with some of my changes to the articles; I'd also like to get someone else to look at them, to make sure I am not being overly harsh. Maybe on the other hand you can get him to listen so he does something more useful, like looking for sources. Thanks for reading this rambling statement, anyway :-) Yngvadottir (talk) 13:33, 2 January 2016 (UTC)
- I semi-protected the article for three weeks for persistent disruptive editing and I am prepared to protect it again if disruption continues. Adding the list of students is definitely over the top. I suspect the IPs are the same user evading the block, but I am not good at filing SPIs (and I believe CUs will never comment on the correspondence between IPs and a registered user). Anyway, now they have to go to the talk page.--Ymblanter (talk) 13:43, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

Hello Ymblanter,
I have warned User:GeorgiaWikiWriter several times because of his disruptive editing and edit wars. He was also warned by @Flyer22 Reborn: and @Kunalforyou: but he ignored us all. I believe he is a pure vandal that should be blocked indefinitely. One of the last edits he made was on Westboro Baptist Church calling it "a group of fucking morons." His behavior needs to be addressed asap. Thanks. Jaqeli 16:02, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
- Blocked 48h --Ymblanter (talk) 16:10, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
- He doesn't learn his lessons. After he got unblocked he is again vandalizing the redirects over Chichua article. This just needs to stop. Thanks. Jaqeli 10:18, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
- I do not see anything wrong with their edits after the expiration of the block. The name of the article should be properly discussed, and they seem to be participating in the discussion as well.--Ymblanter (talk) 10:23, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
- He has moved the page to non-existent names like "House Chichuaa", "House Chichua", "House of Tchitchua". House of Chichua does not exist. This is just some petty Georgian noble family and he since got registered here is pushing into an aggrandizement of this surname and this needs to stop. Jaqeli 10:34, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
- I do not feel myself comfortably enough to intervene in this situation. You can try asking at WP:ANI but I am afraid chances are not very high, you would need to build up a fairly convincing story.--Ymblanter (talk) 10:37, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
- Just a question, is this user allowed to edit Armenia-related articles? I see he is TBAN'ed but interested if this applies today as well. He had made some Armenia-related edits recently. Jaqeli 07:23, 17 January 2016 (UTC)
- Looks like they are topic-banned from Armenian articles, see [Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions/Log|here].--Ymblanter (talk) 08:09, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

Recreating James Dumont Article
I have heard that the James Dumont Article has been deleted on October 5, 2015. I would like to recreate the article because he has been in big films such as Dallas Buyer's Club, Ocean's Thirteen, Lee Daniel's The Butler, and Jurassic World. He has also appeared in shows American Horror Story, Wild Card, Ravenswood, Hide, and Harry's Law. He has worked in numerous tv shows and in film, so should I remake it.
- The easiest is to use the mechanism of articles for creation, create a draft and then let it get reviewed by community members. Otherwise, if you are sure the person is notable you can just go ahead, but there is always a chance the article could be nominated for deletion. Unfortunately since James Dumont does not seem to ever existed, I can not poin you out to the deletion discussion. Once you try to recreate the article, there should be a link.--Ymblanter (talk) 21:46, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
blocking of 14.140.220.82
The history of 14.140.220.82 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is rather complicated. The article {{la|Indian Badminton League]] (IBL) was usurped to Premier Badminton League (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (PBL) somewhere about 18 Dec 2015, possibly by Vpgautham. The article was then moved to PBL by someone not involved and IBL redirected to PBL. 14.140.220.82 initially tried to add IBL info to the IBL page here but was informed here No, the article has been moved. So, it would appear that 14.140.220.82 has been trying to un-usurp PBL and restore it back to IBL. I thought the anon was attempting to remove the copyright vio tag. If I had known that, I would have directed the anon to IBL and resolved the redirect concern. I have since copied the anon's text back to IBL. (Not sure how to recover the page history properly here). Anyway, while the anon has been non-communicative, I would suspect that if pointed to IBL, few problems would occur. I request you either remove or reduce the block time. Best regards Jim1138 (talk) 05:20, 6 January 2016 (UTC)
- I just saw that the same IP was blocked for a week in September and thought a month is appropriate in the situation they are massively edit-warring. I can reduce the block to 10 days or smth. If you need a history merge, please let me know.--Ymblanter (talk) 06:25, 6 January 2016 (UTC)
- I now agree with you. It would appear that Arvabhi (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is 14.140.220.82 reincarnated. Same edit thrice at this point. Neither respond to questions on their talk page. There are news sources stating IBL is rebranding to PBL. Interesting though, the IBL website is still up and does not mention the name change that I have seen. Request withdrawn! Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 10:24, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

Football records in spain
Thanks for protecting the page. However, you have forgotten to keep the article in the consensus version. A user just reverted a few seconds before you made the protection. Can you please revert it back to the consensus version? Thanks.SupernovaeIA (talk) 21:13, 6 January 2016 (UTC)
- No, please read WP:WRONG VERSION. Sorry for that.--Ymblanter (talk) 21:17, 6 January 2016 (UTC)
- I did read it. And again you have made the same mistake. Please at least put it in the consensus version. The other user again sneaked through before you protected. SupernovaeIA (talk) 12:28, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
- This is not my task to decide which version is correct. And you both will be blocked soon for six reverts anyway--Ymblanter (talk) 12:32, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
- I did read it. And again you have made the same mistake. Please at least put it in the consensus version. The other user again sneaked through before you protected. SupernovaeIA (talk) 12:28, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
- I'm curious to know why you have simply blocked the two editors yourself? You don't appear to be involved and this hasn't attracted the attention of other admins. Sir Sputnik (talk) 15:18, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
- Probably too late by now, it would look punitive. I wanted to have a second opinion, but it was not forthcoming.--Ymblanter (talk) 15:30, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
Thanks!
I'd have given you a barnstar, but you don't like those. :) Thanks for helping out with ZOIDKIN - I figured that there was some mischief involved, but I wasn't quite sure from whom. You definitely saved the day here! Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 09:34, 11 January 2016 (UTC)
- Sure, you are welcome.--Ymblanter (talk) 09:35, 11 January 2016 (UTC)
- On a side note, I'm not entirely sure what to do with all of the Rajeshbieee pages. I've sort of stopped for the time being since there's a small chance that he could be unblocked and one of the requirements was that he go through all of his pages and deal with them, but I don't want to let them sit either. (sighs) I figure I'll start going through and at least get rid of a few more of the obvious ones, like the articles for the films that never released. I want to start back up with them, but if there's a slim chance that he may be unblocked and have to do the work instead of us, then I'd like to give him the chance to do this. Part of his unblock requires that he have an uninvolved mentor to assist him, but so far I don't know that there are any takers in this situation. Ah well. Still, we have to focus on the positives - we managed to help someone earlier! Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 09:44, 11 January 2016 (UTC)
- To be honest, I am pretty sure this is a sock - and the fact he says he is not but can not explain the incidence in the user name is not really helping, but we definitely need to wait for CU's. I user to PROD one article from the list per day, I guess I need to resume this.--Ymblanter (talk) 10:12, 11 January 2016 (UTC)
IP hopping by Alexiulian25
Hello, 31.192.108.216 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) is the latest IP of Alexiulian25. Please block. Thanks, JMHamo (talk) 19:31, 11 January 2016 (UTC)
Thank you for the protection at Noel Gugliemi. Per this Tumblr screenshot, IP editors have found it funny to go through and reinstate what's displayed. Seeing this was what caused me to begin reverting on the page. Such protection should deter them. Thanks again. Alex|The|Whovian? 12:11, 14 January 2016 (UTC)
- Sure, no problem.--Ymblanter (talk) 12:14, 14 January 2016 (UTC)
Page protection
Hey Ymblanter, could you protect this page again? I saw you protected it some time ago, hence why I thought I'd bring it up to you. The same IP hopper is namely at it again with his persistent disruptive editing. - LouisAragon (talk) 14:15, 16 January 2016 (UTC)
- Configured pending changes instead.--Ymblanter (talk) 14:21, 16 January 2016 (UTC)
- Спасибо )) - LouisAragon (talk) 14:32, 16 January 2016 (UTC)
I suppose she could have done a post-doc or something at Michigan, but I accept your reading as better than mine. Thanks! Drmies (talk) 04:08, 19 January 2016 (UTC)
- That is exactly what I thought, but postdoc would for my qualieified as "worked", not as "studied", and I tried to write it in the most general way. Let us see, may be some other sources would show up at some point.--Ymblanter (talk) 08:16, 19 January 2016 (UTC)
Hi Ymblanter I was hoping you would find the time to help me? From my limited knowledge for Wikipedia I managed to write my first article 'ahmed saad al azhari', however unfortunately it was deleted (by you I think?). I need to re-edit the page to make it less promotional. How do I do that as the ariticle is now deleted? Would I need to create a new article under the same name? To make matters worse, I have chosen a user name that makes it appear the subject of the article is the writer - where this is not the case. I am not Ahmed Saad. Please also could you give me general advice in areas I need to pay attention to on the article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ahmedsaad.ihsan (talk • contribs) 22:43, 19 January 2016 (UTC)
- Could you please provide the exact name of the article? I do not remember anything about it, and without knowing why it was deleted it is not possible to recommend anything.--Ymblanter (talk) 06:28, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
Sure, the link for the deletion log is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahmed_Saad_(Islamic_Scholar) I wanted to rework the article to focus on independent sources. However I still need to refer to some sources that has a relationship with the subject for factual information only. Is this ok? I just don't want to create another page again and get ahmed saad al azhari blacklisted from Wikipedia! Thank you for your time Ahmedsaad.ihsan (talk) 20:06, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
I think there does need to be an article on him, as he seems to be quite a prominent Islamic personality in the UK and abroad. He has appeared in newspapers and was a panelist with Lord Cary on BBC's Doha Debates. Ahmedsaad.ihsan (talk) 20:10, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
- I see. There was a deletion discussion which I summarized, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ahmed Saad Al-Azhari. If you can find reliable sources which demonstrate his notability, then the easiest is to start Draft:Ahmed Saad Al-Azhari, and, when you are ready, nominate it for move to the article space.--Ymblanter (talk) 20:14, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
Sounds good, I will get to work! Thank you for your help. It was my first article. Do you think I should create a new username? I don't want the community to think I am Ahmed SaadAhmedsaad.ihsan (talk) 20:22, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
- It is up to you. You can also ask to be renamed, then the contribution gets preserved.--Ymblanter (talk) 20:35, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
With protection on this page having expired a few days ago, edit war has started up again. Could you please block the editors involved. Thanks. Sir Sputnik (talk) 19:43, 21 January 2016 (UTC)
- I blocked one, though they are quite predictably unhappy.--Ymblanter (talk) 21:50, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

i'm not a sock account
well first of all my "42" edits are correcting my own spelling mistakes but i wont bother doing it in future
also the sources i include the bellingcat team which you are happy to have as a source when it reinforces the pro-nato and pro-maidan narrative however based on new "research" by eliot higgins he states that the russian army crossed the border which completely contradicts the nato story that the rebels captured a buk system and for the record the ukrainian army also states that NO BUK WAS CAPTURED from them so both kiev army and bellingcat {eliot higgins} state that the german BND are wrong when the claim rebels captured a buk
you threaten to block me because even with the pro-nato journalist sources i show you that you are absolutely wrong when you delete information from them in an effort to peddle a narrative that even the ukraine army says is wrong
and in relation to "odessa clashes" you very disgracefully implying the victims burned themselves with your "building caught fire in unclear circumstances" when the videos and sources clearly show firstly the building being attacked with petrolbombs and then the escaping victims were set upon and beaten with billyclubs.
and given pro- maidan volunteermarek has chimed in proves wikipedia has no interest in information sources if sources even pro-nato one's dont agree with versions peddled by kiev
- So you're "not a sock account" yet somehow you know that I'm "pro-maidan" (WTFTI).Volunteer Marek (talk) 23:41, 23 January 2016 (UTC)
based on the pro-maidan garbage you have been peddling yes marek you are pro-maidan ....you even call eliot higgins "unreliable source" when he posts info that doesn't support western narrative but when he posts a pro-kiev narrative he is totally legit why is it that bellingcat is a riable source for this [1].. but yet when bellingcat states this [2].he is an unreliable source why the double standards... And as for the trade union house "bursting into flames for no reason" apparently what you can see with your own eyes is not a credible source..OK then Bazzabobo (talk) 01:21, 24 January 2016 (UTC)
- I am not quite sure what the purpose of these messages is. First, you say I have done something I have not done (for example, I did not add or remove any Bellingcat sources, and I do not even have an opinion whether they are reliable. Second, it reads like you want that we make exceptions for policies for you (like WP:RS). I doubt this is going to happen. I still believe you are a sock, but as I said, at this stage I am not going to take any action based on this belief.--Ymblanter (talk) 07:54, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

Third time around at Bach Page and Bach Talk Page
Thanks for your page protection at the Bach page two weeks ago. The disruptive editor User:Francis who caused me to request that Full page protection has returned now a third time to continue edit warring and forum shopping on the Bach article. There is currently the history on the Bach article of your Full page protect of the Bach article, followed by another admin (MusikA) making a subsequent full page protect of Bach, followed by a third admin (SoftL) making a cautionary warning to User:Francis to follow RfC guidelines and to stop edit warring on the Bach article and the Bach Talk page. Other editors have complained about User:Francis's disruptive editing here [1].
I then rewrote the RfC into a format to allow User:Francis to bring his own version of the edit into the article by creating a separate section for him in the new RfC which I placed there last week. Instead, User:Francis then disrupted the new RfC announcement by pretending to be a co-author of the new RfC and changing its wording with the apparent intention of disrupting the RfC and deflecting all participation from other editors. The disruption of the RfC has led to a "broken" RfC with no participants joining the discussion following User:Francis's disruptive edits to the RfC.
This type of disruptive editing I have not previously seen and it has occured three times now. I can offer to rewrite a new RfC a third time to try to come even closer to consensus, but User:Francis is consistently disrupting the edits and edit warring. Since there are 4-5 editors who have requested the User:Buxte edit to the Bach article, with only two editors opposed, it seems that the original 4-5 supporting editors should be given their chance to at least have a fair RfC and to let it run the full 30-days. I can rewrite the RfC a third time if you think it would help since there does not appear to be another way to get past the three previous edit warring attempts by User:Francis. Since you were the original editor to place the Full Page Protection possibly you know the best way to ensure a stable editing environment for the RfC process on the Bach Talk page given this disruptive edit history by User:Francis. Could you glance at this. Fountains-of-Paris (talk) 16:24, 25 January 2016 (UTC)
- No, unfortunately I am travelling now and can not commit any time to this issue. You may want to try WP:ANI, and when it failes, WP:DRN.--Ymblanter (talk) 11:53, 26 January 2016 (UTC)
Turning deleted articles into redirects
Just to let you know, that a number of deleted articles (such as here) will be turned into #REDIRECTS. This is done in the context of a major revision of:
- clean-up of non-notable articles (removal as per WP:NASTRO)
- fixing the List of minor planets#Main index (removal of self-redirects and redlinks)
- several subcategories in Category:Asteroids (consistency).
Only previously deleted articles with a formal "number-name" designation will be turned into redirects, while articles for unnamed bodies are generally not affected. Rfassbind – talk 08:08, 26 January 2016 (UTC)

Tom Baigrie page deleted
I would like to re-establish and re-edit the wikipedia page for Tom Baigrie, which was deleted in 2013. The individual has become more noteworthy in recent years across UK financial services regulation and business and there are now multiple sources to which this can be referenced. Would it be acceptable to reinstate the page under these circumstances? Mattmorris100 (talk) 12:43, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
- No, I do not think this is a good idea. The best way is probably to create a draft in the Draft space and then nominate it for move to the article space.--Ymblanter (talk) 12:47, 27 January 2016 (UTC)

I AM NEW IN WIKIPEDIA AND I EVEN DO NOT HAVE THAT TIME TO BE A PRO HERE, WHEN IT COMES TO THE PAGE OF THE VISA REQUIREMENTS FOR TUNISIAN CITIZENS THE PAGE WAS BLOCKED PLEASE TRY TO READ ALL ITS TALK PAGE TO UNDERSTAND THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO GIVE INFOS IN OTHER WAYS AND THANKS — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dr.Majdiii (talk • contribs) 22:04, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
- It was blocked because all these many people could not agree with each other and started edit warring. Try posting on the talk page of that article and agree with other users.--Ymblanter (talk) 06:43, 28 January 2016 (UTC)
День добрый. Не могли бы вы поправить эту ошибку? Гаджет используется и в рувики (напрямую с енвики), а так у нас имена сносок зачастую на кириллице, то это становится проблемой. Исправить нужно в функции getQuotedString (я не знаю, почему там проверяется только на вхождение кавычек и пробелов, а не оборачивается всегда). --Dima st bk (talk) 22:45, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
- Так для меня слишком сложно. Я могу исправить, если Вы мне напишете, какую комбинацию символов надо заменить на какую.--Ymblanter (talk) 22:51, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
- Я бы заменил
CiteTB.getQuotedString = function(s) {
var sp = /\s/.test(s); // spaces
var sq = /\'/.test(s); // single quotes
var dq = /\"/.test(s); // double quotes
if (!sp && !sq && !dq) { // No quotes necessary
return s;
} else if (!dq) { // Can use double quotes
return '"'+s+'"';
} else if (!sq) { // Can use single quotes
return "'"+s+"'";
} else { // Has double and single quotes
s = s.replace(/\"/g, '\"');
return '"'+s+'"';
}
};
на
CiteTB.getQuotedString = function(s) {
var sq = /\'/.test(s); // single quotes
var dq = /\"/.test(s); // double quotes
if (!sq && !dq) { // Always quotes for non-latin alphabet
return '"'+s+'"';
} else if (!dq) { // Can use double quotes
return '"'+s+'"';
} else if (!sq) { // Can use single quotes
return "'"+s+"'";
} else { // Has double and single quotes
s = s.replace(/\"/g, '\'');
return '"'+s+'"';
}
};
тогда оно будет ставить кавычки везде. --Dima st bk (talk) 10:59, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

Page Protection on Muhammad
thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!! I have been trying to get an admin to help us out on this page for over 2 months with no avail. The one Admin, Neil, seemed to only hang out there to point fingers and "oppose" any potential solutions, without once freely providing any constructive direction or suggestions on how to resolve the MANY issues on that article (which as this is a highly sensitive religious topic, as one would expect are coming from two very borderline fanatical camps; both pro and anti-Islam). Today was a "miracle day" in that we actually made some very slight progress through compromise...and the usual suspects immediately slapped it down and reverted the page to back when they "ruled the roost". I've tryied RFM (they boycott it so their tactics won't be known outside the board), I've tried the DRN, where the assigned admin is pretty much afraid to do anything....is there ANYTHING we can do to get on-going, RATIONAL admins attached to simply look at proposed changes, the supporting proof/citations and foster a consensus? The "usual suspects" who will not accept anything from one side or another will very quickly make themselves known and can be subsequently banned from those topics, and it may be very easy to manage after that. Trinacrialucente (talk) 09:29, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
- If DRN already failed, and Arbcom case would be the next step. Note that I am not going to be involved in the content, and to be fait, I do not even understand what the problem is. In three days, full protection would expire in three days, and I (or someone else) would just restore the semi-protection, that's it.--Ymblanter (talk) 09:34, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

Changing article name
Hi can you please help me: I would like to change the article Acer Iconia Tab to Acer Iconia (as i wrote in the page's talk page), since Iconia Tab is sub-brand inside the Iconia (which is the family of Acer tablets). The Acer Iconia article redirects to Acer Iconia Tab. So I would like to change the latter to Acer Iconia and redirect Acer Iconia Tab to it. Thanks, Rakoon (talk) 16:05, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

Page Protection
Ymblanter, thank you for protecting the MEDRS page during the dispute. I wanted to make you aware of the history of this ongoing dispute. Several months ago, we tried solving everything on the talk page, and when it appeared we wouldn't get anywhere, I filed an RfC on the page. The result came back that we should, indeed, make the change but a few editors on the losing side of the RfC had a problem with it and edit warred 1 2 3the change from being implemented. I tried resolving the dispute with them by contacting the closer, Elvey and he answered questions and confirmed the close. Yet these editors persisted in edit warring, so another editor, one who actually agreed with the close, filed for an administrative review here instead of going to drama boards to get these disruptive editors blocked. Upon review, an administrator, Jamesday, reviewed the close and made changes. So after filing an RfC and having it closed and some editors edit warred that result for months, an administrative review (which should have solved it) was decided, implemented, and that's also being edit warred by this same group of editors. I know you were unaware of the long history there when you told us to take the dispute to the talk page, we've done that and practically everything else and these editors are still disruptively edit warring valid changes from being implemented. At this point, is there something else that should be done? LesVegas (talk) 18:42, 2 February 2016 (UTC)
- I am afraid WP:DRN is the only viable option. If there are only one or two users edit-warring against clear consensus, you can try WP:ANI.--Ymblanter (talk) 18:44, 2 February 2016 (UTC)
- OK thank you very much! LesVegas (talk) 19:05, 2 February 2016 (UTC)
- I was pinged. A single admin could have taken direct action when editors were wp:edit warring against consensus especially when it's based on an RFC. That doesn't require a visit to ANI, as I understand policy. What policy says that's wrong? --Elvey(t•c) 03:10, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
- Once you have an admin willing to take such action (who has read through the RfC, studied the page history, looked at the contributions of the edit-warring users etc) the problem is usually solved. The problem is how to find such admin.--Ymblanter (talk) 06:23, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

- OK thank you very much! LesVegas (talk) 19:05, 2 February 2016 (UTC)
- LasVegas' description of the underlying dispute is quite tendentious. The RFC was sharply divided (I didn't say "closely divided", I said "sharply") and the close (by Elvey) has never been accepted as valid by the editors who "lost" the RfC, and there have been battles ever since. A Close Review at AN was finally opened. JamesDay did not formally close the Close Review and did not frame what he did as such - he boldly suggested a solution to the conflict, which has also not been accepted. (if you look at the two diffs LasVegas provided, the the subsection at AN where he described his approach is called
, and the edit note with which he implemented his suggestion read"A decision of sorts from a previously uninvolved administrator"
(emphasis added) It was BOLD and interesting but out-of-process.Decision from long-term and previously uninvolved administrator: re country of origin RfCs and WP:AN discussion: new wording to say how to proceed if you wish to use this factor. See WP:AN discussion"
- The issue is still wide open, and yes, both parties are still fighting about it on the talk page and via edit wars. In my view what we need is for the Close Review at AN to finish and be closed, formally and in-process. If that fails to settle it then it will have to go yet higher level of DR. Jytdog (talk) 07:31, 6 February 2016 (UTC)
- In any case, I am not going to take any action right now (except for page protection and blocking of occasional socks if pointed out. I do not even have the page on my watchlist.--Ymblanter (talk) 07:46, 6 February 2016 (UTC)

And it continues
With last round of protection at Football records in Spain having worn off two days ago, the on-going edit war has started up yet again. Considering its a small number of editors involved in this edit-war over very particular issue, might I suggest blocking the editors involved instead of protecting the page. If you look at the talk page, you'll find an uninvolved who doesn't seem to understand page protection, and who is growing increasingly frustrated with not being able to edit the page. Cheers.

Talk page vandalism
My talk page has been vandalised on five occasions ([3] [4] [5] [6] [7]) since your "block". Please protect the page as requested, instead of just blocking random IPs for block evasion, and please make it longer than three days. 4TheWynne(talk)(contribs) 08:27, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
- Sorry, this is not a way you should request a favour. Please ask another administrator. I am not under obligation to protect your talk page.--Ymblanter (talk) 08:29, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
- I already made a request at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection, and you went and made an edit there some two minutes later. I'm only asking because you blocked the IP only one minute after that, and you were the one who helped me before. I'm sorry, I don't mean any disrespect; I just want to stop my talk page from being vandalised. It's now been vandalised seven times since the initial block half an hour ago, and nine in total from earlier. 4TheWynne(talk)(contribs) 08:36, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
Done. I protected it for three days, since I believe this is an adequate duration of protection for a talk page. We will se what happens after the term expires.--Ymblanter (talk) 08:40, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

Jaz Banga
Hi there,
About 4.5 years ago I created a page about "Jaz Banga." I saw that you recently deleted it. It had not been updated in a while. Would it be acceptable to re-build the page with better or more recent citations? I'm looking for your advice and thoughts since I only occasionally create tech industry related pages.
Thank you, TrinaMark — Preceding unsigned comment added by TrinaMark (talk • contribs) 00:31, 6 February 2016 (UTC)
- I deleted it following my summary of this discussion. In principle, there is nothing wrong with recreation of the article, but the best practice is to do it in the draft namespace (and when you are ready asking users to review the article) and definitely showing notability as in WP:N.--Ymblanter (talk) 07:43, 6 February 2016 (UTC)

Ahmed Saad Al-Azhari
Hello again
I created a page for an individual known as Ahmed Saad Al-Azhari, under the username ahmedsaad.ihsaninstitute. Anyway the article was rightlfuly deleted by you, and the account was deleted by Orange Mike. I have written the article again and I hope it meets your approval.
I think there should be an article on him (previous attempts used too many references from the chaps website). I am trying not to make it promotional, however I feel there needs to be an article on him due to his media appearances and influence in combating extremism.
I also wanted to get advice from you in terms of getting the article (should it meet yours and the communities approval) among the top hits on google. On searching 'Ahmed Saad Al-Azhari', firstly I can't find it at all on google, and secondly, the top hits are promotional, therefore I think a well referenced, unbiased account should be among the top hits i.e. my article on him.
what do you think? Best wishes, Imran Imran 108 (talk) 21:46, 7 February 2016 (UTC)
- I am sorry, but this is not really my area of expertise. You may want to try a corresponding Wikiproject and ask there for help, or may be ask at the Teahouse. Concerning Google, this is not possible, the position in Google search results does not depend on what we do with the article (or if it does we do not know how it does).--Ymblanter (talk) 22:04, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for catching that
Ah, I didn't see that Volosovsky Municipal District was under Volosovsky District.
The whole "XYZ District" vs. "XYZ Municipal District" is confusing. I'm not sure if "XYZ District" is wrong (except when it isn't -- I don't know if all the raion were renamed, or what happened), or if it's just short for "XYZ Municipal District"... if the average person in the street (and, more importantly, the average newspaper/website/book editor) is continuing to use "XYZ District" then it's OK with me... unfortunately English language sources are hard to find at this level... anyway, thanks for looking over my work. I created Bolshekolpanskoe Rural Settlement as an adjunct to Rural settlement (Russia) (if you wanted to look over that one I'd consider it a kindness) sort of so I could point to it and say "Want an example of a rural settlement? Go there".

P.P.S. I'm particularly vexed by how to render Большие Колпаны / Малые Колпаны... as always, I'm most concerned with getting fully idiomatic English, to the extent possible (and I believe it's always possible)... I just can't think of any examples of Big / Small in America... we do East XYZ and so forth... "Little Italy", yeah, but that's very informal... I guess Americans don't want to live in "Small" anything, heh... Great Barrington gave me Great Kolpany, but what to with the other one... I went with "Lesser" but that sounds odd to me.... maybe Little Kolpany... dunno. Herostratus (talk) 09:45, 18 February 2016 (UTC)

- Thank you for your work and erudition. If Ezhiki wishes to make a ruling regarding XYZ District vs. XYZ Municipal District (which could entail the renaming of many articles) I will support whatever he says. Also it's entirely possible I got stuff wrong at either this article or Rural settlement (Russia) and any corrections would be welcome (as is true of all my efforts, of course). Herostratus (talk) 15:47, 18 February 2016 (UTC)

Здраствуйте уважаемый Ymblanter. Одна проблема есть, но может быть я на английском не очень хорошо буду объяснить, поэтому Вам пишу.

Его для армянской Википедии проверили ЧЮ на мете m:Steward requests/Checkuser/2015-01#1221nor@hy.wikipedia в начале 2015 года, там нашли много его учеток, но Harut111 не был в этом списке, а он был активен в это время в армянской Википедии. Поэтому я думаю, что они разные люди. Я и Норайру на армянском Викицитатнике написал, но пока он не ответил.--6AND5 (talk) 20:56, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

Veriko Anjaparidze
I'm not sure what's disruptive about my edits to this page or why including her full name is contrary to WP:LEDE as you suggested. Quite the opposite, WP:LEDE specifically states: While a commonly recognisable form of name will be used as the title of biographical articles, fuller forms of name may be used in the introduction to the lead. For instance, in the article Paul McCartney, the text of the lead begins: "Sir James Paul McCartney"... I think the problem is that you have developed an antagonistic relationship with me from day one and you Just Don't Like It that I edited a page that you created. Since you're an administrator and so fond of wiki rules, perhaps you should consult WP:OWN.--Damianmx (talk) 21:14, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
- I have not edit warred over this article, in fact, it is ironic that you're raising this issue considering that you yourself have an ANI lodged against you by another user precisely for editwarring. My assertion that you operate on WP:IJUSTDONTLIKEIT looks increasingly correct but you think that because you're an administrator you can talk down on me for one thing and yet get away with the same.--Damianmx (talk) 21:35, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
- On a related note, there is no such thing as an "Iberized" name, Russian people do not own the name Vera simply because its Russian, just as Greeks don't own names like Sofia.--Damianmx (talk) 21:35, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
- I do not have ANI lodged against me, this is your phantasy. And could you please try to epress your ideas in a single edit and at one page. I edit-conflicted with you today already four times.--Ymblanter (talk) 21:39, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
- "Ivlianovna" is Russianized.--Ymblanter (talk) 21:39, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

Ivlianovna is indeed a Russian spelling but that's not what I wrote is it? I wrote Ivlianes asuli, which is Georgian for Ivlianovna. You said you didn't mind the "Iberized" Georgian version, yet through your revert you effectively removed the Georgian spelling and reinstated Ivlianovna.--Damianmx (talk) 21:50, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
- I am sorry that I have to repeat it for the third time. I am not going to do it for the fourth time, please read carefully. I am fine with replacing Ivlianovna with Ivlianes asuli, though it is not my preference. I am not fine with starting the lede with Vera Ivlianes asuli, because per WP:LEDE it should start with Veriko.--Ymblanter (talk) 22:03, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
- And let me also once again repeat WP:LEDE which specifically states: While a commonly recognisable form of name will be used as the title of biographical articles, fuller forms of name may be used in the introduction to the lead. For instance, in the article Paul McCartney, the text of the lead begins: "Sir James Paul McCartney"... In other words, the Article Title will follow the most common name, but the introduction to the lede can and may contain a fuller name, which is what I inserted. --Damianmx (talk) 22:11, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
Your closure of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mumiy Troll
I cannot see any consensus for this article to be closed as "keep". Your closure looks like a supervote to me. While I agree that the article should be kept, it would be more appropriate for you to comment on the discussion to explain your rationale why this should be kept, instead of closing it in this state. sst✈(conjugate) 00:49, 24 February 2016 (UTC)
- I closed it under understanding that participation in the final of the Eurovision Song Contest makes the group notable according to WP:NMUSIC, and, since it was pointed out in the comments, I closed the discussion (similarly to like if a subject of the AfD nominated article suddenly is discovered a member of the parliament, the discussion should be closed as keep even if it is all-delete votes). Now, looking at the policy, I see that it can be read differently, and I would not object reopening the discussion - though, to be honest, I do not see a single chance how it could be closed differently from keep. The band is simply notable, with thousands independent sources existing even apart from the Eurovision.--Ymblanter (talk) 06:31, 24 February 2016 (UTC)
Your deletion of WIP
Please see the following: Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/World_Institute_of_Pain. I originally created the article and actually can't recall how or why the RfD managed to slip past me but it doesn't matter at this point. The following link is a RS that helps confirm World Institute of Pain's notability, [9] as does their journal, Pain Practice, which is a peer-reviewed medical journal with an impact factor published by John Wiley & Sons on behalf of WIP, further making it a clear pass of WP:NJOURNALS. In summary, the WIP is the sponsor of a notable journal, world conferences, symposia, and workshops, I don't see how it would not be considered a notable scientific institution; therefore, worthy of an article. Since you were the acting admin who originally deleted that article, I would very much appreciate your approval to recreate it. Thank you in advance. Atsme📞📧 15:41, 24 February 2016 (UTC)

I am looking around for one or more experienced editors who might have an interest in the Putin article. As an admin I've received some complaints about the editing climate there. A glance at the talk page suggests incompetent dispute resolution. In the sense that, if the people had any patience, they might be able to come up with well-formed RfCs. That kind of thing. Russian speakers might have additional insight, and I know you've dealt with messy disputes as an admin. My contribution so far is that I banned one editor from the page under DS per a complaint at WP:AN3. Any thoughts about how best to handle this? If there is no hope of getting any cooperation from the most active editors then a month or more of full protection might be considered. One person suggested Arbcom but I consider this to be regular nuts-and-bolts admin work, unless people are too burned out. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 03:52, 27 February 2016 (UTC)
- I will have a look on what is going on in the article and come back here, hopefully today.--Ymblanter (talk) 07:48, 27 February 2016 (UTC)
- @EdJohnston:, I just had a look. This is a situation which became typical for Russian and Ukrainian topic recently (see e.g. RT (TV channel) or Donetsk People Republic. There are essentially two parties, both consisting of experienced long-time users. (Occasionlly, new users show up; most of them are paid trolls and should be blocked as soon as possible, others are sometimes unfamiliar with our policies and are only interested to get THe TRUTH into the articles). Pro-Ukrainian (or anti-Russian, call them whatever you like) group is currently bigger and usually gets their way in most articles. Middle ground is usually ignored. Both groups claim the article is biased. If an article is protected at their version, they usually say this is a result of consensus; if it is protected at the opposite version they are somehow willing to discuss. 3RR is avoided by team-reverting. There is no good universal solution here. Possibly the article should be full-protected long-term (a month or smth), and the users should be forced to discuss at the talk page, preferably via well-formulated RfC (or series of those). There are two problems with this solution. First, they would need a moderator (for example, someone from DRN folks) who would clerk the RfC (help to formulate it, remove personal attacks etc). This is I believe solvable with some negociations. However, the RfC itself should have people outside the dispute, and this is a problem, since uninvolved users usually have no interest in going to the ethnic disputes, where one typically needs some background just to understand what the sides are talking about. And I do not have any good idea where all these uninvolved users would come from. May be if we are talking just about one RfC, it can be advertised at village pump(s). No, if RfC does not help or impossible to organize, DRN is another option, but I have seen DRN effectively derailed by the "winning" side who is not interesting in listening to the minority since they have their hand anyway. For arbitration enforcement or even arbcom I do not see much of a role here, if there are some users which are particularly disruptive they were most ikely already alerted of the existence of ARBEE sanctions, and some of them previously were sanctioned or even mentioned in the ARBEE itself, so that they can be immediately banned from the page without Arbcom. Sorry do not see better solutions at the moment.--Ymblanter (talk) 10:02, 28 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi. This is a result of an AfD regarding a different nunatak - please see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tommeliten Rock.

Hi! Post the subject AfD, the article on Saran was deleted. I now found out that a certain Raghunath Saran has been recipient of Padma Bhushan award in 1962 in the field of Medicine.

Can you please restore the article at User:Dharmadhyaksha/Raghunath Saran so I can check and work on the article and see if it's notable enough? §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 10:15, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

Re Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ryan Driller (2nd nomination), WP:RELIST is quite clear: "if at the end of the initial seven-day period, the discussion has only a few participants (including the nominator), and/or it seems to be lacking arguments based on policy, it may be appropriate for the closer to relist it".
The above discussion is open from a month now, had over a dozen participants, four of them after the last relisting, and it is full of policy and gidelines-based arguments (more from one side than from the other, actually). I am involved as I voted there, but your relisting looks very inappropriate if not bizarre and suspect, there is no reason to relist a deletion discussion plenty of comments A FOURTH TIME and keep it open more than a month, except if the relistener does not like the current consensus and hopes to have a different one (trust me, I hate to assume bad faith, but that's what your actions here suggest). Please revert the relisting and let's have a close, one month is time enough. --Cavarrone 07:17, 12 March 2016 (UTC)

- Thanks for dimonstrating my point. If you wanted me and others not assuming bad faith, you were simply supposed to explain WHY you relisted a one mounth old AfD with a clear consensus and with over a dozen comments for a fourth time, and you have not. I was extra-polite given your obvious violation of our deletion process, and receiving a "go away" response is just the proof of YOUR bad faith. You are not going to discuss anything with me because you have no suitable justifications, period. I have no time for now to scrutinize your past actions in this area, but it's better you stay away from AfDs, as long as you have not the competence, good faith and requested willingness to explain your actions.

Some baklava for you!
Putin is trying to destroy Western countries by inundating them with refugees from Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Syria, Ukraine and others which he is now bombing and planning to bomb in the future. He is building up and deploying nuclear intercontinental ballistic missiles, perhaps, to bomb the United States. Some time Western countries should begin to resist his military aggression, and the sooner the better. Psychiatrick (talk) 23:15, 12 March 2016 (UTC) |

History of Iran
What have I edited that is wrong? Why are all my edits in History of Iran being reverted without any explanation? I just want to be treated fairly. If there is something I have wrongly edited, I am willing to compromise. As mentioned, bullying me and reverting my work without any explanation is unjust. This is in poor character.

Hi, Ymblanter,
You blocked this editor for "block evasion" and included a link to an edit from 2015 that mentions a different IP editor. Can you tell me which blocked editor you believe IP24 is and the basis for your suspicions? Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 20:41, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
- I included this link in the blocking rationale. Additionally, they made three reverts in India-Iran relations.--Ymblanter (talk) 20:45, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
- Oh, I see, this is not what you asked. The edit I referenced is identical to the four edits IP made today.--Ymblanter (talk) 20:54, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
- So you believe that this IP editor is a sock of Bladesmulti? Because LouisAragon who he was warring with (who also made three reverts) did not believe it was the same editor (User_talk:Andrevan#India.E2.80.93Iran_relations). Can we ask a checkuser to check? Pinging @DoRD:. Because if it is Bladesmulti, a longer block is warranted, if not, well it's a case of mistaken identity. Liz Read! Talk! 21:02, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
- I have no problem with checking, though even if this is not a sock, edit-warring restoring four times a long edit previously rejected means a block in my book.--Ymblanter (talk) 21:09, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
- @Liz: Given what I remember about OccultZone's location - thousands of miles from New Jersey - it seems unlikely that this IP is him. —DoRD (talk) 21:36, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks DoRD. Liz, do you want me to reblock them for edit-warring?--Ymblanter (talk) 21:42, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
- Well, I think that would be a good idea, just to establish the grounds for the block (which I hope you will shorten to 24 hours). I know that the IP shouldn't have added so much content without a talk page discussion but LouisAragon's response wasn't stellar either, they both edit-warred. I don't know why the edits, over a year apart, were so similar but there seems to be a fundamental difference of opinion on these "History of X" articles about how much history is covered in the article.
- I appreciate you reconsidering your block. Liz Read! Talk! 21:51, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
- I reblocked them for edit-warring and shortened the block to 12h. I still do not like the similarity of the edits, but let us give them the benefit of the doubt.--Ymblanter (talk) 21:58, 18 March 2016 (UTC)

Ymblanter, @DoRD:, @Liz:, I also don't necessarily think that the IP is directly connected to Bladesmulti, even though he reinstated a very peculiar edit of him and for the fact that its known that Bladesmulti very occasionaly hops in. What I however do strongly believe and am sure of (99%) is that the edit-warring/disruptive IP whom Ymblanter has blocked,[10] is the exact same WP:SPA IP hopper whos warring and ignoring BRD on the History of Iran page.[11]-[12]-[13].
- All IP's in question are from New Yersey, USA;[14]-[15]-[16]-[17]
- All IP's use the exact same types of edit summaries;[18]-[19]
- All IP's dont have any remote issue with edit warring/violating 3RR;[20]-[21]-[22]-[23]-[24]-[25]-[26]-[27]
- The IP's made the edits in a very rapid succession of each other ; 14:48 - IP 2600:1001:b12d:24c8:1946:8b25:7e87:d3fa - 15:18, IP 24.157.56.12 - 18:16 24.157.56.12 - 18:42 IP 2600:1001:b12d:24c8:1946:8b25:7e87:d3fa - 19:00 IP 24.157.56.12 - 19:07 IP 24.157.56.12 - 19:33 IP 2600:1001:b12d:24c8:1946:8b25:7e87:d3fa - 19:40 IP 2600:1001:b12d:24c8:1946:8b25:7e87:d3fa
- All IP's have roughly the same editorial interests.
Even if they're unrelated to Bladesmulti/Occultzone, this is not just a case of violating 3RR or edit warring, but also disruptive IP hopping/socking.
Furthermore, I believe that these other recently used IP's, who are also all from New Jersey, with the exact same interests and with the same type of edits/edit summaries, are also used by this user in question.[28]-[29]-[30] A range block could perhaps be helpful to deal with this. There's definetely something more going on here, and it should be digged out and dealt with accordingly. Look furthermore at their revision history how it further perfectly syncs with the other linked IP's. - LouisAragon (talk) 23:26, 18 March 2016 (UTC)

Hi! This is related to this incident Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/IncidentArchive916#File_upload_issues. Another User:Manzoor2015 with similar habits is editing the same scope of articles. There is also a glaring WP:COMPETENCY issue. An article named Zirayats was created with the only content "Ziyarats is the plural form of Ziyarat." (I am not even look at the spelling mistake). Files (which are clearly copied) are being uploaded again. I have a feeling that this is the same user and it would be good to block him. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 14:02, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

Self-reverted AfD closure
After closing Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Uncrowned (as "delete"), I noticed that you had previously closed it (as "no consensus") and then reverted your closure. I suppose you had your reasons, but since my closure led to the deletion of the Jack Andrad article, which you had redirected to the band's article as part of carrying out your closure, I thought I'd mention the matter here. Deor (talk) 15:42, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

Savchenko
How can you delete a minor edit in less than one minute? Big Brother does not even begin to compare with you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.216.154.188 (talk) 20:02, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
You certainly revert edits faster than you answer mail! Since my last edit I read enough of the article to see that it is pure propaganda. One example: in the fourth paragraph of the section, "Detention and trial in Russia" it is stated that "During her long trial in Russia, Savchenko has been held in a cage". Of course, this is a pure lie. Only the box in court is encased in glass, and this is not a special treatment reserved to her. If you are happy with such misinformation, be prepared to see less and less people trust you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.216.154.188 (talk) 21:11, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

- Actually this statement in the article is correct.--Ymblanter (talk) 21:22, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
- Quotation marks are not POV. If she really has been "held in a cage" (ouside of court), please provide solid reference. If it turns out to be true, I will certainly apologize. As written, the statement is clearly a weasely attempt to mislead the reader into believing that she was held in a cage for the duration of her detention. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.216.154.188 (talk) 21:47, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
- I do not see how the article says she was held in a cage outside of the court. It say she was held in cage in court, like a common criminal, despite a plea to treat her differently. Quotation marks may be (and in this case certainly are) POV. If I say you are brilliant I likely mean that. If I say you are "brilliant" I likely mean you are a stupid idiot.--Ymblanter (talk) 22:00, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
- "Brilliant". However, you are certainly aware that the legality or illegality of her detention is disputed and, in such cases, quotation marks are needed (unless Wikipedia itself claims that her detention is illegal; which would be a breach of neutrality). Furthermore, how can you fail to see that a statement such as "During her long trial in Russia, Savchenko has been held in a cage" is not neutral? Not to say intentionally misleading. By the way, no one is a "common criminal" before being sentenced by a court. 82.216.154.188 (talk) 23:22, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
- As soon as the statement is clearly attributed, quotation marks are not needed. The statement about the cage was changed in the meanwhile, and you could have also done it yesterday, before the page was protected.--Ymblanter (talk) 06:54, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

Hi please explain me why my version is not good for you? I'm just trying to make it with neutral point of view! and i have added refils of NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF HISTORY OF UKRAINE so this sources IS reliable just like David.moreno72 wanted — Preceding unsigned comment added by Olexis (talk • contribs) 16:42, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
- I do not think adding Ukrainian sources would ever make the article closer to neutrality, only further away from it. But, in any case, please start the discussion at the talk page of the article. As a matter of fact, you replaced a couple of sourced statements to ones with opposite meaning; this requires a discussion.--Ymblanter (talk) 16:47, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
Yes i replaced one source with another because there is only that "another" meaning at the beginning!
Excuse me but there is pro-russian source [1] made by NATALIYA VASILYEVA (russian giornalist) so why i can't put some of ukranian sources to make it more closer to neutrality?? Yes this requires a discussion because this article offends me and some of ukrainians [2] That's why i decided to change it. But if you read this "Material such as an article, book, monograph, or research paper that has been vetted by the scholarly community is regarded as reliable, where the material has been published in reputable peer-reviewed sources or by well-regarded academic presses." so you cant say that institute of history of Ukraine isn't RELIABLE source. By the way if you read closely this article you will see that source i used "www.history.org.ua/" is already linked so you cant say that "not make it more neutrality".
SO please explain me why you change my version? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Olexis (talk • contribs) 19:22, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
- Please discuss this at the talk page of the article, not at my user talk page. To be honest, if you came here because something offends Ukrainians, you will be out very soon. This is not a founding principle of Wikipedia, quite the contrary.--Ymblanter (talk) 19:40, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
I understand that you are Russian and you change all articles that are without russian opinion,(just see Nadiya_Savchenko, Putin_khuilo! and another articles )
You will be out very soon please be respectful because this is a founding principle of Wikipedia!
P.S. You still didn't answer my questions. P.S.S. I will discuss this at the talk page of the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Olexis (talk • contribs) 20:18, 27 March 2016 (UTC)

Your close of the deletion discussion was completely reasonable and appropriate. But, there is an issue with Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Duplekita that isn't obvious: The content at Duplekita was moved from User:Trekie9001/Duplekita under the edit summary "stale draft that appears notable, covered by cbc in Canada" (not by the author whose namespace in which it resided). Per the guideline about such moves WP:STALEDRAFT "If suitable for mainspace, move to mainspace". If the content gets nominated for deletion and subsequently deleted, it clearly wasn't suitable for the mainspace. The user who moved the page actually !voted "Delete per nom, thanks for the good analysis" in the discussion (this among other things leads me to further question their move of the page). MfD would have been the proper forum for a deletion discussion as their move was inappropriate. AfD has higher standards than MfD, as they govern different namespaces, and what content can exist in each namespace varies per policies and guidelines.
So, that leads to my request, would you restore the content to User:Trekie9001/Duplekita or the draft namespace? Best Regards,—Godsy(TALKCONT) 20:39, 2 April 2016 (UTC)
- No problem, but why do you want it restored to the userspace of an apparently uninvolved user?--Ymblanter (talk) 20:44, 2 April 2016 (UTC)
- My apologies, wrong link. I've had to make many requests of this nature, so I sometimes copy parts of previous discussions regarding the same issue. I forgot to change the link. I've corrected it above.—Godsy(TALKCONT) 20:47, 2 April 2016 (UTC)
- The user is inctive, so I moved it to Draft:Duplekita. It will soon become eligible for speedy though.--Ymblanter (talk) 20:53, 2 April 2016 (UTC)
- I thought is was notable as the edit summary said, but was proved wrong. He is doing this to be disruptive - there is an open ANi thread about his antics. [33] Legacypac (talk) 21:54, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

Would you mind offering your opinion regarding this at the ANI discussion? It seems like the concern was entirely about the location and basis for the discussion and there is seemingly no interest in the actual work on it. Was that your intention with restoring it, that the AFD itself was incorrect or was it for the purpose of hopefully seeing something being worked on? -- Ricky81682 (talk) 09:25, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
- I restored it under understanding that someone would work on the draft, otherwise it does not make sense.--Ymblanter (talk) 09:29, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
- If you don't mind, then, if the purpose was entirely about disputing the move that brought about the AFD and the last discussion about that resulted in no admin action, is this approaching WP:POINT? I think we need to figure this out as there were multiple other drafts moved and deleted for CSD violations and so on. I don't see the point in having those restored if the goal is to put them all back into the userspaces of long inactive users, especially since non-AFC drafts have no set time period either so the MFD debate that will follow if there is no activity on the page will be like they are now. And yes I'm aware that nobody should have to debate the metaphysical debates that occur at MFD unless they absolutely have to but this is becoming the standard. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 09:37, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
- Be advised that the above comment is suggestive, and encompasses the opinion of Ricky81682. This is a very complex matter with truckloads of information that would have to be considered (multiple AN/I sections have been opened related to this situation).—Godsy(TALKCONT) 09:47, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
- I am not interested in other drafts. I am closing several hundred AfDs per year, mostly as delete. For about 5%, I subsequently get requests for restoration in the user/draft space. I always do this. If there is no intention to work on the draft, it should be deleted, we have a CSD criterion for this. It can always be restored later.--Ymblanter (talk) 10:07, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
- And I never put the draft to the userspace of a long inactive user.--Ymblanter (talk) 10:08, 3 April 2016 (UTC)

Hello. You have made a page protection for Donetsk bus shelling incident. User RGloucester take an advantage over IP users using page protection request. Note, it was no any discussion (!) related to this article (neither merging nor deletion). User merged it without consensus. Many other users reverted this merging during the year, see [34] [35] [36]. Also user RGloucester violated 3-revert rule many times. The discussion about merging should start first. Note, four interwikies are present with big articles in ru-wiki and uk-wiki for this page wiht many sources in it. Please restore the article without redirecting before unconsensus merging. 46.211.253.73 (talk) 17:55, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

Otherwise, you are screwed.--Ymblanter (talk) 20:15, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
Anita Saarkesian
Hi, I'm new to Wikipedia and I made an unreferenced edit to the Anita Saarkesian page which was removed. Following this I retrieved a citation from forbes.com and was about to repost my initial edit with the addition of the citation but the edit function on the page has been disabled. I'd just like to query why? And did it have anything to do with me?

Chimamanda Adichie
Hi, user ymblanter, take the time to review cited references. Firstly, I am personally close to Chimamanda. Secondly, as you are native to russian and kazakhstan (sp.) I am native to Nigeria-America. Thirdly, follow the already existing biography in her content - she went to school in the US (requiring j1 visa), continued on to her Masters, and a fellowship (requires LEGAL residency, in turn a Green Card). I live in MD. Her husband is a Nigerian-American doctor who runs an active practice in MD. She has a child and by (https://www.uscis.gov/us-citizenship/citizenship-through-naturalization/naturalization-spouses-us-citizens) she becomes a US citizen. How is this confusing for you?
Thanks for blocking that disruptive IP. If he/she returns with a new IP, should I report him/her, or submit page protection request? --Zyma (talk) 07:56, 24 April 2016 (UTC)

File:AMAA Statuette.jpg
Hello, can you please explain to me why File:AMAA Statuette.jpg was deleted? The nominator provided no prove of copyright problems. The copyright status of the image is clearly explained in the description. The nominator claims that I said i didn't own the image, which i never did. What I said was that the image couldn't be free even if took it, since it is a derivative work. This is what the user misinterpreted to mean that I didn't own the image. I thought any admin deleting the image would investigate properly before deleting, that was why I just ignored the user's deletion request. Also you closed the discussion as delete, even though no discussion took place and it was actually without a concensus. I'd like to know what informed these decisions. Thanks.--Jamie Tubers (talk) 15:20, 27 April 2016 (UTC)

May be Azerbaijan was also occupied?!! and may be just may be Caucasus is Poland and mountain jews started to speak Yiddish?!!! Ridiculous and distorted information was provided on this article by earlier editors. There are many mistakes made by Ashkenazi jews on this article and I simply corrected those mistakes. I want that my remarks will be reviewed and the information I have provided be restored and not reverted.(Hebrew Mountain Man (talk) 21:00, 30 April 2016 (UTC))

Hello! Can you please look at Draft:Alex Gilbert. This article has had on going issues. More sources are being added all the time. I don't understand why this article is not notable? Every source is reliable and the coverage covers for about 3 years. I added a new source from https://www.tvnz.co.nz/one-news/new-zealand/alex-gilbert . I don't understand. Also the source http://www.sbs.com.au/topics/life/family/article/2016/03/01/website-could-help-you-find-your-birth-parents-through-social-media is not related to the single event issue. What is really wrong with this article? --DmitryPopovRU (talk) 08:05, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
- He is borderline notable. Since there is no specific notability criteria, what applies here is WP:GNG. If it gets to WP:AfD I would probably vote keep, but I am not sure it would survive. Let us see first of your help desk request gets any response.--Ymblanter (talk) 08:19, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
Thank You. I really just want the article to be unsalted! So I can move this and then I can simply see what will happen. It is really disappointing. The conflict and on going discussions have been going on for too long while more sources are coming to light. This new news clip is clearly about his new project, YES with a little bit of a back story of the original story, but that is not the main idea with this new source. Same with the SBS source. --DmitryPopovRU (talk) 08:22, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
- I vaguely remember that the Russian article also had troubles.--Ymblanter (talk) 08:31, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
Yes it was on going for a long time. Can't the article be unsalted and then just moved? Can find out what will happen then? I don't know what do do anymore! --DmitryPopovRU (talk) 09:28, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
- Once it is in the draft space, it should be accepted. Then of course people still can nominate it for deletion via a regular procedure.--Ymblanter (talk) 09:37, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
I understand! I hope it gets accepted. It actually got reviewed last year and accepted, but it just got deleted by someone who was watching the page as it was previously deleted (for a totally different reason). Was a waste of my time. If the article gets accepted which it should by now, I just hope the article doesn't get deleted again. Alot of work on this article. I have got it under review once again. Thank You for your help! Please let me know if you can review it or not! :) --DmitryPopovRU (talk) 09:41, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
- If the article is different to the deleted version, it can not be deleted without first going to AfD, where a minimum period of 1 week discussion is in place.--Ymblanter (talk) 09:44, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
Ok perfect. Will see if this article can get reviewed and looked at and will decide from there. If it goes to the mainspace and a AfD takes place then that can decide it's fate. I just want it on the mainspace. I do believe it is notable. Really! Thank You! --DmitryPopovRU (talk) 09:59, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
- Are you able to unsalt the article? Or review it yourself? Thank You! --DmitryPopovRU (talk) 19:52, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
- No, I had rather bad experiences recently, and I currently prefer other people to do it.--Ymblanter (talk) 20:00, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
- No problem Ymblanter. Thank You for your help! I appreciate that! I fixed up the introduction of the article, making the camera and TV work irrelevant as that is not what the article is about. :) --DmitryPopovRU (talk) 20:05, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
- Hello Ymblanter. I have added 3 sources that are independent of the subject for Draft:Alex Gilbert. Though it does talk about a single event, the coverage has been on going and this balances it out with the notability of the article does it not? I am wondering if you could take a look as they are in Russian. Or please ping someone who can help. This goes through borderline notable? The sources are [39] , [40] and [41]. Thank You! --DmitryPopovRU (talk) 00:50, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

Mayor of London
Hi, thanks for putting protection on Mayor of London after the brief edit-war that happened there, which by the way made it into BBC News. I have noticed that the "List of Mayors" section of the article still has Sadiq Khan listed as incumbent, and this is technically incorrect as the result hasn't yet been officially announced. Could you correct this please since I am unable to edit it due to full protection? Thanks, LoudLizard (📞 | contribs | ✉) 20:35, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
- I can not edit it either. Please leave an edit request at the talk page, one of the administrators would react.--Ymblanter (talk) 20:38, 6 May 2016 (UTC)

RE: Check yourself before you Shrek yourself!
Hi again. Sorry to have to contact you again. Thanks for blocking "Check yourself before you Shrek yourself!". They moved my user page and talk page. RickinBaltimore kindly moved it back, but there was a typo in the redirect, which has left my talk page and user page as LoudLIzard rather than LoudLizard. Could you move this for me, since I seem to be unable to. Thanks, LoudLizard (📞 | contribs | ✉) 21:08, 6 May 2016 (UTC)

- Oh, I see, the redirect does. There were two templates. AfD had a red link; moreover, redirects are not discussed at AfD. For speedy deletion, I do not see why it should be deleted and under what criterion. If you mean smth like merging editing history, pls be more specific.--Ymblanter (talk) 14:31, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
- An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Alexandros Jakupović. Since you had some involvement with the Alexandros Jakupović redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so. Rovingrobert (talk) 08:57, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

Mistake
I believe you unfairly lock an article. The article in question is the "Real Life Comic" article. In the discussion on the page I have listed reasons and evidence that it should be listed as abandoned. If you can give please give me an explanation as why it shouldn't be labeled as such. Leaving that space empty is misleading. Also saying it's on hiatus would also be wrong since no mention of a hiatus has been posted. What would your definition of abandoned? Or can you tell me why it will not be labeled as such? ShallowGun (talk) 21:32, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

Kulchytsky
WHy don't you translate his article from Russian. It would be a lot more appropriate for the critique.--Lute88 (talk) 20:03, 12 May 2016 (UTC)
- It is just too long. If I ever have time, I could. I may translate the Kulchytsky related pieces, they are relatively compact, but, again, this would still take at least an hour even more, and i can not invest so much time on a working day.--Ymblanter (talk) 20:08, 12 May 2016 (UTC)
- It is not that long. Anyway, RFC would have been an a lot more gentlemanly an act than ANI, wouldn't you say?--Lute88 (talk) 20:12, 12 May 2016 (UTC)
- Now I understand you want me to translate the article about Kulchytsky from Russian Wikipedia. No, first, I am not interested in the topic, second, I never translated anything from Russian Wikipedia since it is biased and unreliably sourced. Concerning the ANI, if this would be out first intersection of this sort, I would continue discussing. However, precious intersections convinced me you are only interested in removal of the material you do not like, does not matter how well it is sourced.

SPA IP account
Hi Ymblanter. I'd welcome your thoughts on 213.57.185.19 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). They seem to be adding political views on BLPs of non-political articles, namely Sergey Karjakin and Igor Sklyar. On the former, they're sort of engaging in talks, but every edit has been reverted by other users. On the latter, they keep re-instating text that I don't think is relevant to the subject matter. I'd be grateful if you could take a look or advise on where I should raise these concerns. Thanks. Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 12:33, 15 May 2016 (UTC)

Random removal of edits
Hi Ymblanter. You have just removed two of my edits, on Simferopol status and on "constitution" of "republic of crimea" as POV edits, basing your decision on discretionary sanctions system. I believe that you misused the system here: the articles contained heavy factual mistakes and provided incorrect and/or incomplete information on the topics, thus correcting them could not be considered POV. I kindly ask you to restore the mistakenly removed edits, thank you. AMartyn (talk) 08:39, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
- The community worked for several months trying to find neutral formulation of events in thee articles. You are apparently unaware of these efforts, since you did not edit Wikipedia between 2009 and 2016. Additionally, some of your edits just miss the point: For example, the Republic of Crimea has no relation to Ukraine (and never had any), and adding Ukrainian categories is just wrong. Please first familiarize yourself with the multiple discussions which occurred in 2014 concerning Crimean localities and institutions. If subsequently you still feel the formulations can still be improved, please raise topics at relevant talk pages.--Ymblanter (talk) 08:49, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
- First, even if your claim that I "did not edit Wikipedia between 2009 and 2016" was true (it is far from that), it should've not make any impact on the discussion.
- Second, your claims like that the so-called "Republic of Crimea" has no relation to Ukraine are a perfect example of a politically motivated POV. We all know, that the "Republic of Crimea" have never been internationally recognized: neither as an independent entity, nor as a part of the Russian Federation. Hence, the self-proclaimed "Republic of Crimea" is actually a Ukrainian Autonomous Republic of Crimea under Russian occupation, which justifies adding Ukrainian categories. There is no need to raise discussion topics to fix politically motivated openly incorrect and misleading formulations. For the second time, I kindly ask you to stop promote your political views and to restore the unrightfully deleted edits, thank you. AMartyn (talk) 09:01, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
- Not going to happen. Please read the discussion, which apparently you still failed to do.--Ymblanter (talk) 09:02, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
- For the third time, I kindly ask you to stop using Wikipedia to promote your political views. If you fail to cooperate, I'll have to elevate the subject. AMartyn (talk) 09:44, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
- Community elected me administrator to enforce consensus. I never edited Wikipedia to promote my political views, and I am not planning to edit Wikipedia to promote my political views. I refuse to cooperate with you to add material to the article which goes against consensus of editors. WP:ANI is that far away, if you feel the community should evaluate my actions.--Ymblanter (talk) 09:48, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
- "I never edited Wikipedia to promote my political views, and I am not planning to edit Wikipedia to promote my political views." - ok, let's do it again. Fact#1: Neither Russian annexation of Crimea nor the "referendum" have been recognized by the international community. Fact#2: the article on so-called "constitution" does not reflect the Fact#1 and misinforms the reader about the legal status of the subject: it is heavily biased in favor of the Russian political POV. Nevertheless, you throw away an edit, which puts light on the topic and moves the article in accordance to neutrality. Furthermore, you abuse the discretionary sanctions system to keep the article in its current, deformed state. The same goes with Simferopol: the chapter refers to legally void things as they were legitimate, misinforming the reader and promoting the Russian political agenda. Eg, it refers to territories, internationally recognized as occupied by Russia, as they were Russian legitimately. And again, you remove edits which move the chapter towards neutrality and refuse to restore them. This is obviously an attempt to promote a politically motivated POV and an abuse of administrator rights. Trying to resolve the situation on a basis of consensus and Wikipedia rules, I urge you to reconsider and to restore the deleted edits. AMartyn (talk) 10:12, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
- I disagree with what you write. The text is a result of long and painful discussions within the community which resulted in consensus. The edits will not be reinstated without discussion with the community.--Ymblanter (talk) 10:17, 16 May 2016 (UTC)

Dnipropetrovs'k has been renamed
Hi, i would informs you that today ukrainian parliament has renamed Dnipropetrovs'k to Dnipro. Ukrainian wiki has allready renamed the article and it was doing by an administrator (you can check the history on ukrainian page). So i want ask you to rename this on english wiki too. Thanks and sorry for my bad english i hope you understands what i've writed.--Andriy.v (talk) 14:06, 19 May 2016 (UTC)
- We do not obey Ukrainian parliament, nor do we have the same policy as Ukrainian Wikipedia. We use the most common name for the city. Please open the RfC at the talk page of the article (assuming this has not yet been done).

Please explain
Hi there. Forgive me for asking but why have you just accused me of disruptive editing? An editor added that Crimea was annexed by the Russian Empire in 1783 and you deleted it saying that that was unsourced. When I looked into it, I see that other articles contain that same piece of information including 'Autonomous Republic of Crimea - so I readded the statement along with a source. So why is that disruptive? It is helpful as it was dealing with the reason why you deleted the original edit. Qaz1984 (talk) 20:36, 21 May 2016 (UTC)
- Let me repeat what I said in the edit summary. Almost all of your edits to the article were reverted by other users. This usually means that time has come to start a discussion at the talk page, whether your edits in this forma are needed in the article, or possibly this information is not needed. Concerning 1783/1792 issue, it is complicated (the Khanate was forst occupied and then formally annexed), and the discussion of this issue is in my opinion not a subject of this article (which is supposed to deal with post-2013 situation). However, this is a topic for a discussion at the talk page of the article.--Ymblanter (talk) 20:43, 21 May 2016 (UTC)
Hello! For the past few months, the same user has repeatedly used different IP addresses to remove the logo from the Nickelodeon Arabia article, claiming that it is "unofficial" each time. Their statements are difficult to understand, as they use improper grammar and never provide references for their claims. The user has never logged in and refuses to participate in a discussion about the changes. This is becoming a problem, because after the article's temporary protection expired, the user simply returned to make the same disruptive edits. Would it be possible to permanently protect this article or to find another way to keep the user from doing this? Thank you, مضحك (talk) 00:03, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
- I protected it for a month, but the problem needs to be solved somehow. They claim the logo is fancruft.--Ymblanter (talk) 05:30, 23 May 2016 (UTC)

Hi, I hope you can help me since you’ve semi-protected this page. Don’t know what that means exactly, but I think I’d better not change that page even if I would be able to without contacting you first. The problem is, I’ve been trying to correct an obvious error on this plage, but this Glitchygirl insists on having things incorrect and accuses me of vandalism and sockpuppetry and has been posting threats on my talk page. No sockpuppetry on my behalf, so at least two different people, maybe three, have tried to correct this error and have had their edits reverted by this Glitchygirl. She decided that part of the filming will be in the Dutch region of Holland (that article is what she’s be linking to) because that’s what her source says. Here she clearly says she is talking about the region and seems certain the press release she refers to did not use "Holland" as another name for the Netherlands. Having been Dutch for over 47 years now, I think I know about my country better than she or some Hollywood marketeer does, and I happen to know that for as far as the filming for this movie in the Netherlands is concerned, it’s not in the Holland region at all, but on the Ijsselmeer near Urk, Flevoland. I tried changing Holland into the Netherlands, which seems correct enough to me, but have even been more precise. All my changes have been reverted by this Glitchygirl. I have this source in Dutch, but since she insists that sources should be in English I saw no point in adding it. Well, perhaps you can settle this matter? Fnorp (talk) 08:59, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
- Just try to discuss at the talk page. Changing Holland to the Netherlands should not be a problem, if they revert, just come to me again. Whether a more precise location could be added to the template I do not know, it probably depends on the standard practice on film templates. If you have sources (Dutch sources would do as well) the exact location certainly can be added to the article.--Ymblanter (talk) 09:07, 30 May 2016 (UTC)'
- Thanks. I'll mention the source on the talk page and change Holland to the Netherlands again and see what happens next. Although the article I referred to is quite specific, I think mentioning the country correctly is good enough. Fnorp (talk) 10:25, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

Advice on page protection
Hi thought I would quickly ask you this. I know how to make a page protection request. My issue is whether I should. The page Saltwater Crocodile has been the subject of an edit war. Which has been reported here I am not asking you to intervene with that I am happy to wait for the process to conclude. However, the reported editor has continued to edit the page, taking it even further from the consensus being discussed on the relevant talk page. All other editors have held back and waited the outcome. But significant damage is being done. Is it possible to request the page be protected until the edit warring report has been dealt with? cheers Faendalimas talk 18:33, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
- Yes, it is possible, no problem.--Ymblanter (talk) 18:39, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
Trafford Centre
Why was my request for protection of a a page declined? Tony Fan123 (talk) 11:54, 5 June 2016 (UTC)
- Because this is a content dispute, and you try to use the instrument of protection to get an advantage over the version of your opponent. This is not what it was designed for.--Ymblanter (talk) 11:58, 5 June 2016 (UTC)
Yes, but it's not a content dispute. On purpose he is reverting the page as he thinks he is correct,, when numerous citations prove him wrong. It's not right to mislead other people who view the page. Tony Fan123 (talk) 18:21, 5 June 2016 (UTC)
- Both of you think they are correct. This is a content dispute. If you do not like my conclusion, you are welcome to open a topic at WP:ANI.--Ymblanter (talk) 18:23, 5 June 2016 (UTC)
Not wanting to be rude, but I don't think I'm correct, I know that I'm correct because citations prove it. Furthermore, on the CompanyHousing Website, UK, it clearly states the official name. Now since this is a government website, do you really think it would be wrong?Tony Fan123 (talk) 20:31, 5 June 2016 (UTC)
- I do not have an opinion on who of you is correct, and I do not want to have such an opinion. Obviously your opponent also knows the are correct.--Ymblanter (talk) 20:35, 5 June 2016 (UTC)
I don't understand the problem, a page is clearly being vandalised and you are just keeping silent, because you are too scared to say something. Very disappointing behaviour and totally unacceptable.Tony Fan123 (talk) 20:38, 5 June 2016 (UTC)
- I obviously disagree with you judgement.--Ymblanter (talk) 20:43, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

Hello, what is the best method to recreate this article of Dinesh Soi. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thakur Anant Singh (talk • contribs) 09:24, 8 June 2016 (UTC)

User still at it
Hello Ymblanter, how are you doing? Remember the issue with user "Damianmx"? Even though he's hanging on a thin rope, he is still continuing with his disruptive edits. One would think he'd "knock it off" by now regarding his highly disruptive editorial pattern after two consecutive blocks and so many issues/argues with users and moderators numbering in the double digits. But no, unfortunately this is not the case.
- Here he entirely removed well-sourced content written by historians which mentioned the extensive Iranian cultural influences prior to the Russian era on Georgia, and blatantly replaced it by a source written by a journalist (Thomas De Waal) and a traveller. This under the fake edit summary that this material was "duplicated", which was not the case as you can see.[43]. This is literally the 50th time he's doing such stuff.
- Here he keeps removing information regarding the demographic history of Tbilisi (which notably mentioned that the city was once majority Armenian)[44]-[45], even though on the talk page everyone opted to have the information, or at least part of it, re-added.[46]
- Here he sneakily removed sourced content regarding the cession of eastern Georgia by Iran to Russia per the Treaty of Gulistan, while his edit summary only told "Old Version, Format".[47] Notice that the "old version" still contained this information.
- More diffs which demonstate that he still posesses over the same disruptive obesssion with "Iran" in historical contexts related to Georgia, as he always had. [48]-[49]-[50]-[51]. Notice though how even though he was reverted on numerous occassions, he still tried these changes in.[52]
- Also another beautiful one here; First he changed the first sentence of the Georgia article into; "a country in Eurasia, located on the crossroads of Eastern Europe and West Asia." , then shortly after he changed it into often considered part of Europe, and ultimately some days ago he made it into "generally part of Europe". This whole content overhaul was pushed in by himself sneakily over a relatively short time period, changing the content every once in a while.
Overall, his editoral pattern continues to be what it used to be; desperately trying to drag Georgia into Europe,[53]-[54] keeping a "Near Eastern-free" sphere around Georgia-related articles, and trying to break all extensive historical bonds it has with the Near East. Some more diffs; [55]-[56]. You've seen completely similiar diffs from the same user some time ago. Just like back then, he does so by either removing sourced content, changing sourced content, using fake edit summaries, as well as by replacing WP:RS with non-WP:RS sources, just to back up his own agenda and to warrant for the removal of matters he doesn't like to see. He does it quite cleverly, by making a certain "amount" of edits on the topic every month/few weeks, so that it doesn't drag too much attention.
Some time ago prior to his second block, as you might remember, I gave you another list of disruptive edits made by him. The editorial pattern is still very much the same. From his Iran-related obsession,[57]-[58]-[59]-[60]-[61]-[62] to making partisan edits, as well as removing sourced content. I can literally ping another 10 users if needed that would be willing to give their voice regarding his constant disruption and partisan editing. I can list another 30 diffs that demonstrate his continued disruptive editorial pattern as well, if needed. Please keep in mind as well (as you know) that no talk page discussion with said user, regardless of whether the disussion was with me, or others; it has never ever proved to be of any use. I will repeat my words I said during my very first encounter that we both had with him; I'm fully convinced that he's not a new user (simply look at his editorial pattern from the start up to including now), but until we find out who the sockmaster is, all we can see are the rest of his WP violating edits. Obviously its up to you regarding what actions you'll take, but I just wanted to leave his here as its completely undoable for the rest of the editors to deal normally and not-time consuming with this constant nuisance. I won't dispute that he has made several good and useful edits as well on several articles, but his editorial pattern as a whole is still way too much in conflict with Wikipedia's guidelines. - LouisAragon (talk) 18:07, 9 June 2016 (UTC)
- I am not going to deal with this case at this point. It is too time-consuming, and I currently do not have time.--Ymblanter (talk) 18:09, 9 June 2016 (UTC)
- I know its time consuming (any matter in general concerning said user, as you know) and I didn't necessarily expect any immediate admin action, but given that you and me have been involved with this user since the start, I thought I'd at least list it here and give a brief heads up. For the record, as they say. Bests - LouisAragon (talk) 18:31, 9 June 2016 (UTC)
How is MoS supposedly "disruptive"?
If the Wiki founders wrote up an MoS demonstrating their preferred method of doing things, then why should some people have to fight to make articles that way, even though when they break MoS in other places they get told they can't do that, and then here you are claiming that it's supposedly "disruptive" to make an article MoS-compliant?
And if you plan on saying something "nifty" like, "Uhh, because you didn't secure a consensus," then why should any more consensus than what the MoS already is even be needed? Why do we have the manual if we're just gonna be reverted against and scolded for using it? 2600:100E:B108:359F:2855:2189:4343:D428 (talk) 08:06, 11 June 2016 (UTC)
- Please go and use the talk pages. Period.--Ymblanter (talk) 08:08, 11 June 2016 (UTC)
- Um... using the talk pages won't tell me why you labeled my MoS-bound edits as "disruptive." Perhaps if you'd be willing enough to actually give some input instead of just being stubborn, an editor might actually learn what the supposed "problem" with doing what the founders and any other members of the MoS consenus want us to do could possibly be. 2600:100E:B108:359F:2855:2189:4343:D428 (talk) 08:36, 11 June 2016 (UTC)

- Right, so no matter who tries to edit those to MoS, you're gonna think they're a sock because you think one guy was the only one who cared about that?

Ahmad Thomson
Hi @Ymblanter:, just a friendly note re. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ahmad Thomson. There were actually three editors there arguing for "keep" (E.M.Gregory, AbstractIllusions and Caseeart) and six for "delete" (including me). However, I believe we should not touch upon !vote numbers in closing remarks at all as you did - sound, policy-based argument is what matters, not !vote count. Here, both sides presented policy-based arguments and I don't see there was a consensus for delete at this stage. Regards, — kashmiri TALK 08:00, 20 June 2016 (UTC)

Content dispute re human shields
Hello Ymblanter,
There has been a content dispute at Russian military intervention in the Syrian Civil War regarding inclusion of sourced material showing that ISIS has used human shields in an attempt to prevent Russian bombing attacks. Several editors have argued that it should not be included because of SYNTH problems, or because the material is said to be not relevant to the topic of the article. Others (including myself) say the material should be included for NPOV.
The matter has been disputed since April at the article talk page, and Tobby72 opened a ticket at the NPOV noticeboard on May 21 at: Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view/Noticeboard#Islamic_State_war_crimes_.26_POV_tag
I am wondering if it would have made more sense for Tobby72 to have done an RfC, since this would customarily be closed by an uninvolved editor or admin. As matters stand, I see no obvious finding of consensus, but the editors who want to exclude the material are telling me that I need to WP:DROPTHESTICK.
Do you agree that the discussion is over? Or would it be possible for someone to do a "closing" as if it were an RfC?
As a relatively new user (here since ~February) I am very interested in your view on the matter. I saw that you cleared up a very similar dispute at Human rights in Ukraine simply by inserting and cleaning up the disputed material, and no one has dared to revert you. JerryRussell (talk) 17:00, 22 June 2016 (UTC)

Nephew and niece
Hi there,
Regarding Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nibling, any opinion on second-degree relative as a merge target instead? Was the only reason for using nephew and niece, as some argued, because it's not a neologism and existed first? — Rhododendrites talk \\ 13:25, 25 June 2016 (UTC)
- I would be fine with merging the two, but I believe it should be discussed. From the AfD page, I do not see such merge being properly discussed.--Ymblanter (talk) 13:44, 25 June 2016 (UTC)
Your AFD closing
Hey, thanks for closing this AFD discussion. However, I think the final result was not policy based as I believe that the subject was notable enough. As you saw, beside the two sources in persian which came long after the first appearance of the subject in the News outlets, I provided a ref by Simon Wiesenthal Center adding to its notability. Anyway, I'm bound to discuss the matter with you before going to deletion review. Thanks Mhhossein (talk) 11:14, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
- I am afraid deletion review is your next step. It was sufficiently discussed during the AfD, and, as far as I am concerned, consensus is very clear. All the info has been merged into Ali Khamenei.--Ymblanter (talk) 11:18, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

Requesting TE protection level downgrade for modules
Hi Ymblanter, I'm in the middle of refactoring {{Pp-30-500}} and am expecting to sync to its sandbox when the RfC concludes. But before it does, Module:Protection banner (and its config) should be aware of the extendedconfirmed protection level.
