Speedy deletion nomination of Broken Flag records

A tag has been placed on Broken Flag records requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for organizations and companies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 04:44, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

Dear Hebel and User:Sabbatino

Please stop your disruptive editing. You are saying about 'diversity of opinions', but you only saving the one opinion about GDL lecacy. So in fact you are acting opposite way. So I can describe it is as lie and duplicity. The articles that you are not allowing to edits have no something about neutral point of view, bacause it grounded in discussion of few points of few.

You clean up historical articles from any not-Lietuvan (in modern sense) line without any certain argumentation. And you deleted everything.

And that's when Grand Duchy of Lithuania article filled with the names of the princes with -as ending. But could you mention this kind of names in at least one chronicle? I am not. Same as the language. What's the proof that modern Lithuanian used the Duchy? There not, it just hypothesis and it's better for everybody to read about it not so uniquely. If I am wrong - please let me know the source proofs of this statements.

You edit's surely not grounded on Wikipedia neutral principals and very similar to vandalize what also supported by other cases, such as with Ukrainian and other slavonic-related pages. If you will no stop this erroneous activity you will be forced to be blocked from editing due negative censorship and propaganda of one historical version without any evidence.

Hello, I'm Hebel. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Gerard von Hebel (talk) 16:58, 9 July 2016 (UTC)

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. Gerard von Hebel (talk) 17:10, 9 July 2016 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Hebel. I noticed that you made a comment that didn't seem very civil, so it has been removed. Wikipedia is built on collaboration, so it's one of our core principles to interact with one another in a polite and respectful manner. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Stop making unfounded accusations as you did on the talkpage of User:Sabbatino Gerard von Hebel (talk) 17:25, 9 July 2016 (UTC)

Craft37by, opinions that are contentious or even fringe, although sometimes mentioned when due are not added to Wikipedia articles as true statements as they are not supported by reliable sources. Please refrain from making such edits to Wikipedia articles as it is considered disruptive editing. Also refrain from making accusations about vandalism as you have now done twice. It's also considered disruptive. Consider in the future to discuss your issues on the talkpages of the article in front of other editors instead. Thank you. Gerard von Hebel (talk) 20:37, 9 July 2016 (UTC)

Gerard von Hebel

Dear Gerard, without this paragraph you deleting article is not objective. Please provide the original sources for:

• Knighs names like Vitautas, Midaugas in original chronicles
• Lithuanian as majority language
• Lithuanian language first mention
• Original maps (if you deleting two from my commit)

My thoughts: Ruthenian language very similar to belarusian and it showed in chronics written in next centuries. Ruthenian even called also as old-belarusian and old-ukraninan. We can say that majority people spoken Ruthenian cause it used in law and also called as 'prosta mova' ('simple language'). I call modern-lihuaninan as modern because I know the source when lithuanian language mentioned as ruthenian: "For instance, duke Keystut in 1351 commanded the Lithuanian army in the Belarusian language. In a Latin -language source (Hungarian 'Dubickaya' chronicles) it was referred to as Litvanian (lithwanice). Keystut's call in Belarusian "The ox is our discords. God is with us!" was not only correctly transliterated by the witness ("rogachina rozne nachy gospanany" — which is clearly the aforementioned phrase in Belarusian), but also correctly translated into Latin ("cornutum ...iuramentum per nos ...Deus ad nos"), thus corroborating the case." For source the statements I've posted the link to M.Ermalovich book in belarusian language and mentioned another three authors. If it's not enough - why article using same historical books instead original chronicles?

If you want to save Wikipedia in neutral position of view, please provide the sources for this questioned statements.

Before this I see no reason to delete small paragraph in pro-samogitian article. Thank you. Craft37by (talk) 9 July 2016 (UTC)

Sock puppet investigation

A SPI in which you are involved has been submitted here. Gerard von Hebel (talk) 19:07, 9 July 2016 (UTC)

3RR

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

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

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

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.

Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you. Gerard von Hebel (talk) 23:37, 9 July 2016 (UTC)

Edit warring at Grand Duchy of Lithuania

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 48 hours for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.

The full report is now in 3RRArchive321. I'm also alerting you to the discretionary sanctions under WP:ARBEE, since there seems to be some nationalist POV-pushing about the history of Lithuania. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 00:09, 10 July 2016 (UTC)

GD of Lithuania

User:Craft37bv Images that have copyright and are not demonstrably in the free domain can’t be added to Wikipedia articles. So when you’re not sure it’s best to stay away from them. I have no idea about the status of this image. We also do not add suggestive or disclaiming language to Wikipedia articles to emphasise a contentious POV that is not supported by the language and reliable sources of the article, as you did there. It makes for bad and suggestive writing and will be challenged and removed. Gerard von Hebel (talk) 20:08, 18 July 2016 (UTC)

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. Iryna Harpy (talk) 10:29, 19 July 2016 (UTC)

Iryna Harpy, Okay, thank you. I am a novice editor here. Craft37by (talk) 11:14, 19 July 2016 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Grand Duchy of Lithuania shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
Please continue the discussion on the article's talk page and do not re-add the content. -- samtar ^{talk or stalk} 10:51, 19 July 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Shark Quest

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Draft:Shark Quest, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. Legacypac (talk) 19:51, 30 March 2018 (UTC)

Your editing has been mentioned on my talk page. Usage of fringe theories is one of the complaints. You can respond on my talk page if you wish. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 16:32, 9 July 2018 (UTC)

If you revert again at Vilna Governorate or any of the other pages in dispute an administrator may decide to ban you from all editing about Eastern Europe.
