Geographical distribution

Thanks for your question. Please see main article ′Ukrainian diaspora′ XXI century. There are more one hundred and twenty countries. Sincerely, Yourreader

Genetic data

Thank for you message. Most of countries in the page of Latin America show genetics data (please review Brazil, Argentina, Cuba, Uruguay, etc.) because this kind of data are most reliable than how people think about them genetic sources (citation). I did add another sources. Thank.

Anti-Russian sentiment among Vietnamese

Yes, I do have my sources. You can look on Anti-Russian sentiment#Vietnam, I have provided these links. Of course it is not in English, but hope it helps. talk.

Ukrainian Insurgent Army

Are you sure that 70.79.149.167 is not another sock of Thegoodmanisamazing?? The Banner talk 20:43, 4 February 2018 (UTC)

@The Banner: Looking at the edits, I certainly wouldn't discount it. It's probably worth reporting as the IP has been blocked before... and before said editor created an account. I'm about to log out for the day, so would you like to do the honours? Ping me from the SPI and I'll chime in as soon as I can. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 21:28, 4 February 2018 (UTC)

Already blocked for three months for disruptive editing... The Banner talk 21:34, 4 February 2018 (UTC)

@The Banner: Yep. If s/he starts again after the 3 months, I'll take it straight to SPI before it goes stale. I have a feeling that this user will be back sooner using another IP, so I'll keep my eye out for similar behaviour. Keep up the great work! --Iryna Harpy (talk) 21:40, 4 February 2018 (UTC)

This looks highly suspicious. not to mention the IPs. (protection already requested). The Banner talk 01:46, 25 February 2018 (UTC)

@The Banner: Yep. The username implies that they identify with the Zaporozhian Cossacks, but in an unfortunately nutter-nationalistic way. So far, they've only edited once from that account. I'm putting their user page on my watchlist in case it's a new sleeper for a blocked user. As regards UPA (the insurgent army) fighting the Nazis, it's correct (per Faustian's reintroduction). There must have been a ninja removal of this that went unchecked. There were certainly collaborators, but that was a smaller component in the OUN. Complicated but, in a nutshell, the whole region become a bastion of lawlessness from the word go. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 05:07, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

German Occupied Poland

I acknowledging your message but you are absolutely wrong. Poland wasn’t occupied by some obscure Nazis. Poland was occupied by the Third Reich and from 1943 by the Greater German Reich or you could shorten it to Nazi Germany. Please don't exercise your senior editor standing to bully junior editors. Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.79.149.167 (talk) 21:02, 4 February 2018 (UTC)

Well, too late as you've been blocked for a few months. As I also noted on your talk page, appropriate and inappropriate usage of 'Germany' vs 'Nazi Germany' (or a more appropriate term, if deemed appropriate by consensus) should be taken to the talk pages of the relevant articles instead of resorting to WP:BATTLEGROUND behaviour, which is why we follow WP:BRD instead of edit warring content changes. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 21:36, 4 February 2018 (UTC)

Assar Lindbeck

Dear Irina, please revert the category edit on Assar Lindbeck so that it includes my edit. Please think before you revert things: one look at the content of Assar Lindbeck shows that there cannot be any question about including him in "Category:Labor economists" as he is the founder of the insider-outsider theory of employment (together with Dennis Snower), i.e. a major explanation for structural unemployment. If you need further evidence, just go to https://ideas.repec.org/top/top.lab.html#authors - a ranking of the top 10% of labor economists - and you will see that Assar Lindbeck is included in the list. Thank you very much in advance. --Arbraxan (talk) 21:08, 14 February 2018 (UTC)

Hi, Arbraxan. The primary problem with your source is whether it is considered to be a reliable source or not. Within the context, it may well be. Could I suggest that you take it to the WP:RSN (Reliable Sources Noticeboard), point out the source, and explain which article you wish to use it for. If it weren't a biography of a living person, I'd (personally) accept it as being a sound source. The problem lies with the fact that the article itself isn't properly sourced, and that his notability isn't really established. Adding him to more specific categories than those he's currently included in is a bit like putting the cart before the horse. Feel free to ping me from the new thread you start as I think the link would be useful for working into the content (thus making a stronger case for notability) if it's considered acceptable. Cheers! --Iryna Harpy (talk) 23:18, 14 February 2018 (UTC)

Hello Iryna, a couple of links to show who Assar Lindbeck is: Academy of Europe, CambridgeCore, Research Institute of Industrial Economics. All of his major works predate the Internet era, AFAIK, making finding online sources difficult, but he's definitely very well known, and very influential, within his own field... - Tom | Thomas.W ^talk 23:45, 14 February 2018 (UTC)

He's also notable enough to have an article on several different language versions of Wikipedia, not only the Swedish and English WP, but also the German, Russian, Spanish, Italian, French and, Polish ones. - Tom | Thomas.W ^talk 23:54, 14 February 2018 (UTC)

@Thomas.W and Arbraxan: Okay, having taken a quick look at the articles in other Wikipedias, I note that the German, Spanish, and French entries are not simple regurgitations of the English language Wikipedia article and seem to have some good references in languages other than English. I'd say that it'd be worth integrating these references per WP:NONENG in order to tighten up the article and get rid of the tags as they're addressed. It seems that it's about time Lindbeck gets the credit he's due as being notable. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 04:39, 15 February 2018 (UTC)

I have a Neutral Point of View

Smirnov and the other Guys were backed by the local People of the Regions. And acutally the Point that the Donbass Peoples Republics and Transnistria are Puppet States is only the View of some Journalists who have no proofs anyway so I decided to formulate the sentences neutrally.--Janos Hajnal (talk) 19:21, 17 February 2018 (UTC)

Vandalism at List of countries with overseas military bases

We’re experencing vandalism at List of countries with overseas military bases. Protecting the page might be a good idea. Garuda28 (talk) 04:30, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

Hi, Garuda28. I've just reverted the latest WP:SPA account edit warring, and have applied for semi-protection. Until it's (hopefully) implemented, we're stuck with reverting. Cheers for the heads up! I was waiting for one more such incident before I applied for page protection. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 05:18, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

Hello Iryna!

Hello Iryna! I came to know about the serious illness just now. I hope you'll be back in health soon, and I am sure you will!--Wddan (talk) 18:31, 4 March 2018 (UTC)

Hello, Wddan. Thank you for your kind message! I've only just finished months of treatment, and the treatment is more traumatic on the body than the level of the illness at that stage: so it's recovery from those effects that take the most time. I'm feeling positive in myself, and have no doubt I'll be back to fighting fit form soon enough. You can't keep a good Slav down! Happy editing, and hoping that all is well with you and yours. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 18:39, 4 March 2018 (UTC)

Revert on European Canadians

I did so because I was reverting an earlier disruptive edit of an anonymous user who had randomly inserted numbers that did not correspond to those in the source. Just because I am editing from an IP does not mean I am a vandal. 193.52.24.8 (talk) 22:41, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
