Hi Ymblanter. Hope you're well. I wanted to make some changes to the Bosco Soid page but noticed that you have put it on semi-protected. Could you please lower the protection on the article? Thanks in advance.
Hi Ymblanter! Donguz Formation was recently created and could use a couple of edits so it doesn't get speedy deleted. Do you have time to look at some Russian sources? --Tobias1984 (talk) 07:13, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
- I will have a look, but this is clearly not speedy deletion material. Added to the watchlist just in case.--Ymblanter (talk) 07:17, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
Japan
Hi Ymblanter, in case you want to help: The Historic Sites of Japan need to be converted to use {{NHS Japan header}} and {{NHS Japan row}}. For now only the national part. I did a couple as examples. Multichill (talk) 15:41, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks, I will have a look.--Ymblanter (talk) 16:08, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
- Hello; Is it possible to do any conversion by ?bot? as seems to have been done for these Chinese ones? The format of the Japanese lists is intended to be internally similar, Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 11:39, 26 August 2013 (UTC)
- I guess this is more a question to @Multichill: than to me, but I guess if it were he would do the conversion himself without asking me. Let us wait what he answers. If the conversion is not possible, I volunteer to do at least some of the manual conversion (one-two lists per day).--Ymblanter (talk) 11:50, 26 August 2013 (UTC)
- I tried converting with a bot, but didn't manage to do it without too much mess so I abandoned that. Multichill (talk) 16:51, 26 August 2013 (UTC)

Cleaning up the Belarus geographical mess
I'm getting unstuck in trying to compile a table of terminology for the Belarus geographical naming conventions. There appears to be a flood of new articles and stubs recently and it appears that English Wikipedia is now leading the way with transliteration/transcription norms (which, as we know, simply isn't Wikipedia's role). As the contributors don't seem to know what to do other than follow the current directives, we're ending up with orphaned pages and broken links absolutely everywhere.
My thoughts are to follow the Belarusian government standards for the English speaking world (which DON'T involve the irritating version of what is essentially Latinka), i.e. as laid out per this map and other official sites. What's good enough for the Belarus government should be good enough for us.
You can check the sad beginnings in my sandbox. Any constructive input from sensible Wikipedians would be appreciated.
I've left this message on Ezhiki and TaalVerbeteraar's pages as well. Cheers! --Iryna Harpy (talk) 04:54, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

Greetings. Any chance you could proof/source improve my Russian translation of the history and expand it further?♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:29, 20 September 2014 (UTC)

Draft:Nikolay Antipov
Hi Ymblanter. Draft:Nikolay Antipov was on the verge of G13 deletion, but the man is obviously notable. It looks like a machine translation of ru:Антипов, Николай Кириллович. I have added a few English language book citations, would copy-editing be an easy task for you? Thanks, Sam Sailor 18:28, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
- Thank you for reminding me, I will be slowly working on the draft.--Ymblanter (talk) 18:34, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
- Great, thank you. Sam Sailor 18:46, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
Global renamer
Would you consider applying? We could use another active Russian speaker. Something we’ve been working on is getting people not to handle as many requests from languages they aren’t familiar with and this has lead to a small backlog from some wikis. I know you aren’t active on ru.wikipedia now, but being able to read the requests on meta and figure out if it’s within policy would be incredibly helpful. TonyBallioni (talk) 15:17, 23 February 2019 (UTC)
- @TonyBallioni:, do you have any idea how much time investmet this could be? I am operating close to the upper
levellimit of my abilities, and if it is enough to check some page once per day and react to pings, I could still do it, but continuously monitoring a page would probably be too much.--Ymblanter (talk) 16:06, 23 February 2019 (UTC)- I think that’d be the most, and checking once every few days would even be helpful. It’s a volunteer project and getting more volunteers from different language groups is always a plus. TonyBallioni (talk) 16:15, 23 February 2019 (UTC)

Contest
Hi. I was actually thinking of organising a contest to get my old stubs expanded. Basically what I did in the early days on here was to identify notable missing articles, simply identifying them and getting them up, thinking in the long term at what is best. The problem is that a lot are really off the anglospere radar and don't get expanded but really should have decent content even if short. The idea that I mass created copyvio articles amuses me, I doubt there's more than a few dozen out of 100,000. I might see if I can get a hotlist of stubs created and run a contest to see who can expand the most. Alternatively I can request deleting them all which would mostly be negative as most can be fleshed out..♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:11, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
- The list is at the CCI investigation page(s). No, I do not think you should delete them, and indeed most of them (I do not know whether most is 90%, 99% or 99.9999%) do not contain any copyvio. But having them expanded would be nice. For Russian districts, I am going through them anyway, and it still could take years, but if I am still alive I will do them. I sometimes write on more exotic topics, but for example Chinese stubs typically require some understanding of Chinese sources for their expansion, and attention could be brought to them it would be great.--Ymblanter (talk) 12:17, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
- The task of building this encyclopedia is just so gigantic isn't it? I feel guilty in seeing so many short stubs but really should have been created with much more content but it was all done with the mindset of trying to make this encyclopedia have coverage of everywhere on the planet and really try to tackle systematic bias. I did a lot of good, a lot of them have been expanded but there's a worrying number untouched in ten years. Nobody is developing them. You know Czech and Turkish villages, German rivers etc, articles we should have but nobody is editing. We need something to get them improved. There's probablt a lot of African villages which should probably be redirected into a list, some of those villages in Burkina Faso and Benin etc are still unlikely to have anything online within the next ten years, though on a county or municipal level it seems to be gradually improving in some areas as they come online.♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:56, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
- Yes, this is an evergreen question what should be redirected and what should have separate articles. This is of course diffisult but I would say administrative divisions of levels 1-2-3 are probably fine, and reasonably big settlements (say above 10K) should be fine as well. For the rest, I would say we either have easily available sources or not. Once I tried to expand an article on a Czech village and could not find any information above the standard one which was already in the article. On the other hand, a Czech speaker would know what to search for and might be more successfull. African villages are probably hopeless for the time being unless there are very clear sources covering them. I created some time ago an article on a new province of Zambia (first level administrative division), English is an official language of Zambia, and it was still difficult to find any reasonable information.--Ymblanter (talk) 16:11, 16 January 2020 (UTC)

I mean look at Madjoari Department (not mine). Even the bigger province is a short stub Kompienga Province. If we can't even get that right it's useless worrying about hundreds of localities within them. If all we have is a population figure I think we should redirect them all into lists by district/province like a gazetteer until there is sufficient info. I'm more embarrassed at seeing how many stubs I created which are still empty than worrying at people finding vios!♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:22, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
- When I was writing about districts of Mozambique, it was easier for me that articles already existed, templates were there, and I just needed to add info from my sources. I suspect Burkina Faso is similar, and I speak French. Villages could be a completely different story whatsoever.--Ymblanter (talk) 18:34, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
Hi, can you find anything on this in Russian or find a way to translate Mongolian, I tried to destub it but struggled with the web sources I found. Russian wiki has some decent info on it.♦ Dr. Blofeld 13:37, 30 January 2020 (UTC)
- Yes, I will have a look. --Ymblanter (talk) 13:47, 30 January 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks, I found a source for the population at here 8010, looks like there's some other facts in there in the tables. I remember about 12 years back the sums were all half liners and there was no info on the web at all about them!♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:02, 30 January 2020 (UTC)
- Cheers. It would make a massive difference to the encyclopedia wouldn't it if we could get every article on localities up to that sort of minimum quality. Most of the districts are still one liners.♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:51, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
- Yes, and this is what I am systematically doing with Russia (see e.g. Firovsky District as a random example). Concerning Ulaankhus, it also borders with China (and actually its borders with Russia and China are separated), but yesterday I could not figure out how to write this properly. The article I found also contains some information on the geography (mainly relief), I will see whether there is something useful to add to the article.--Ymblanter (talk) 10:54, 31 January 2020 (UTC)

Yes, I was just looking at that, that narrow strip to the southwest, Xinjiang I think. You and Ezhiki have done a terrific job with Russia, it's massive!! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:59, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
- This is definitely Xinjiang, but to add it in the list, we need to know which Mongolian sums this border separates, and I could not figure this out yesterday. Thanks for compliments for Russia, Ezhiki is unfortunately inactive but I am still around. There is still plenty of work to do there.--Ymblanter (talk) 11:03, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
- Firovsky District is several times more than adequate, a lot of these stubs if they even had a paragraph of text like the lead it would make a big difference, something which actually looks like something you'd see in an encyclopedia, not a crappy online database. "Life is what you make it" they say, well "The encyclopedia is what you make it" rings true too! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:07, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
I added a translation from Russian wiki for Altai, Bayan-Ölgii but I couldn't access the sources. Can you see if you can source it. If not I've just remove it.♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:58, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
- I think I tried to get the sources from the Russian wikipedia yesterday and one was off-line and another one was archived but not particularly reliable. I will have one more look in the evening.--Ymblanter (talk) 14:07, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
- There is only one Russian source there, [1], which has quite a lot of info about the aimak (though the reliability is questionable, but it should be ok at the end), but very little specifically about the sum.--Ymblanter (talk) 18:00, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
Don't worry about it. I started Kikhchik, Russian wiki has two settlements of the same name, one a village which existed nearby long before that was set up. I think it would be best to have one article covering them both but you might disagree. Looking in Google Books the river seems the most notable. It's transwikied and if possible the source need checking and verifying. Won't keep bothering you as I know you're busy but you might want to look into it.♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:08, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
Hi, can you find a list of subdistricts of Afghanistan? I can't seem to find any. Of course even the districts mostly need expanding and researching but it would still be good if there was a list somewhere.† Encyclopædius 14:12, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
Mmm Kot-e Ashro looks like it is actually the town of Jalrez itself now. Falling Rain isn't reliable but is usually right on coordinates and looking on google maps it says it's Jalrez now. This source though says Kot used to be the district capital until taken by the Taliban. Odd. What do you think?† Encyclopædius 15:02, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
- Usually these things come out if the census, but then one of course needs to be able to read Pashto, and also I am not sure there was a census in the last 50 years. Any other statistical info would be good as well.--Ymblanter (talk) 15:31, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
- I can't find the coordinates for Zaiwalat either. It's an educated guess for now but not sure.† Encyclopædius 15:57, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
Found it I think.† Encyclopædius 16:58, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
- Sorry, I spent some time searching, I can not find the list of subdistricts. Will try again tomorrow.--Ymblanter (talk) 17:41, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
- This one says that the subdistricts were eliminated by Taliban in 1996 and are not in use anymore.--Ymblanter (talk) 18:10, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
Mass renaming of Southeast Asia districts
Per Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Southeast Asia#Districts, I've prepared lists of over a thousand moves to be done. Does the bot that handles category moves also take requests for article moves? Can you point me at a process? Dicklyon (talk) 22:59, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
- No, we can not use the same process for page moves. I do not know to be honest, may be the first place to ask would be Wikipedia:Village pump (technical), and they hopefully can point you out a good direction.--Ymblanter (talk) 06:04, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks, I'll ask around. Dicklyon (talk) 15:29, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
- I found this place that worked before, and asked there: Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/Tasks#Admin needed to move over 1000 articles on Southeast Asia districts. Dicklyon (talk) 17:18, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

Vandalised plot
In Rudra Thandavam (2021 film) you changed to wrong plot. Somebody vandalised to make it offensive to create political controversy against Dalits. I changed it but you removed it.

I wrote what was in the source. Did I misunderstood something? Can you quote the page which proves me wrong? If so, I will rv myself, no problem. UserXpetVarpet (talk) 20:15, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
- Mainstream history does not accept this.--Ymblanter (talk) 20:37, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
I want that we understand eachother. In the Notes section it currently says "Legendarily founded by Gregory the Illuminator in the"
The source [12], if you open page 34 of that PDF, it says "According to Armenian tradition such a location was chosen because saint Thaddeus built the earliest church-parts of which are still believed to be in place as the base of the old section--upon the ruins of the temple. He was martyred in 66 AD by the order of Armenia's King Sanatrouk."
You say that it was "clearly" not founded in 66 AD, which is just your personal opinion.
UserXpetVarpet (talk) 21:29, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
- No, it is not my personal opinion, it it an opinion of the mainstream academic research. The opinion that it was founded in 66 is a legend. Legend have no room on that page. I do not think we are going to understand each other.--Ymblanter (talk) 21:32, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
It would be nice if you give a source of the academic research.
If legend have no room on that page than you should also remove "Legendarily founded by Gregory the Illuminator in the". UserXpetVarpet (talk) 21:40, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
- I removed this. For the rest, go to the talk page of the article please.--Ymblanter (talk) 21:43, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
Correcting bad page moves
Hello, Ymblanter,
When you are correcting a bad page move, it helps if you leave a redirect. When a bad page move happens, bots change all of the redirects to point to the new location. If you leave a redirect when you correct these moves, then the bots can correct a second time and point the existing redirects back to the original, correct location. But if there is no redirect left after you move a page, then that leaves broken redirects which are then deleted by the bots unless an editor or admin intervenes and corrects each one. Of course, if you check "What links here" and the page has no redirects pointing to it, then all of this is unnecessary. But you might check and see if there are redirects when deciding whether or not to leave a redirect after a page move. Thank you! Liz Read! Talk! 22:05, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
- I usually do keep redirects, but today I was undoing really bad moves by a sock, when one entity was moved to a different entity. Redirects would not be useful here, but you are right, I should have checked backlinks as I usually do.--Ymblanter (talk) 22:08, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
- I also see that currently we do not have broken redirects, so that someone (probably you) already fixed them.--Ymblanter (talk) 22:10, 14 January 2022 (UTC)

Anything actionable here?
Hi Ymblanter,
I'd like your opinion as to whether Bloodofox has done anything actionable in this thread. Particularly in these edits with comments like:
What's notable about this situation on this page is the aggression coming from you in particular about it
[2]who knows how many hours I've wasted on ridiculous talk page blather from ideology-motivated editors
[3]it's pretty clear to me (and it would seem a couple of editors who have messaged me) that you're on a mission here, and that you appear to be far less interested in improving the article than you are in making a point by way of doing things like emphasizing challenges to the term over its defenders
[4]the fact that this particular matter is so aggressively highlighted in the lead over all else—your preference—is a big read flag.
[5]Bold and italicize all you like, [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Germanic_peoples&type=revision&diff=1065490805&oldid=1065489975 edits like this make clear your preference to emphasize what appears to be your preferred side of the "anti-Germanic" aspect of the controversy]. As you know, before my edits, readers immediately heard aspects of the argument of the "anti-Germanic" wing but they needed to actually go digging into the body to hear from the rest of the field. We see obfuscating behavior like this on fringe articles all the time. Leads are summaries of the article's contents (WP:LEAD), not a place to promote a preferred stance over all else (WP:Balance, WP:NPOV). We can discuss the appropriateness of some, sure, that's reasonable, but behavior like that is unacceptable.
[6]It's something we see again and again at, for example, fringe articles when ideological editors—often adherents with single purpose accounts—aim to present material their preferred way.
[7]
Besides these comments verging on personal attacks and aspersions, there's also a general refusal to provide sources for their assertions. For context, he's behaved in similar ways in the past, see this discussion from 2019. Also for further context this personal attack from last year Lol, this guy ranting about linguists and going to lengths to try to insert Goffart into every nook and cranny of this article while excluding philologists, the latter producing the vast majority of scholarship in this field. What a bizarre thing to see.
here Similar things can also be found in that archive.
Thank you for your time!--Ermenrich (talk) 20:33, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

- This is not really my field of expertise, but I see that the user failed to convince literally anyone in that thread. They are understandably frustrated, but I think the easiest is to let it go. If they start inserting their position unilaterally to the article, it would be a different story.--Ymblanter (talk) 13:59, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

I have sent you a note about a page you reviewed
Hello, Ymblanter
Thank you for creating Umedpur Union.
User:Hughesdarren, while examining this page as a part of our page curation process, had the following comments:
Hi Ymblanter, I was going to review several of these articles but they all seemed to contain errors compared to the Banlapedia source. For this one; According to the Banglapedia reference to area is 8002 acre which is equivalent to 32.38 km2 not 87.26 km2 as stated in the article. Is there an error or am I missing something here? What do you think?

- The article is clearly notable, so I do not see any benefit of putting it to the draft. If we do not have reliable numbers for the area, it must be deleted. If we do have numbers for the ares, they need to be added to the article. If this is a systemic problem of the creator, which they refuse to address, some measures need to be taken against the creator.--Ymblanter (talk) 10:06, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

Alina Anisimova
Hi @Ymblanter: How are you? You mentioned that you could possibly find sources for the Alina Anisimova article, when I left a message at Wir. I wonder if you are up for that doing that, at some point. On researching the article, I recently found that she has left the Kyrgyz girls school/Kyrgyz space project, sometime in mid 2019, and went to work at Kloop, the sponsoring organisation. I think it is probably more than borderline notable at the moment. She was named by the BBC 100 Women thing, and now she is not part of the school, i'm not absolutely sure. If you can find anything else on her, it would be ideal. Any help is appreciated. scope_creepTalk 14:12, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
- I am afraid I checked every single mention of her name. There is lot of coverage after she made it to the BBC list (nothing profound though), and there is a mention here that she was arrested by authorities on 8 March 2020 for taking part in a march in support of women's rights in Bishkek. The latest I can find about the satellite is thew Wired article here but it is 2019 and in English. The idea was to launch the satellite in 2020, this obviously has not happened, at least it is not reported anywhere. Most likely, the project was either shelved because of COVID, or abandoned as unsuccessful. There is also an extensive interview with her from 2018 here. Not much, I must admit.--Ymblanter (talk) 14:41, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
- Btw she is pretty clearly not Muslim, I removed this from the article. When I was searching I have indeed seen statements like "Muslim women made it to the BBC list", and in every single instance I looked at it was just a poor job of a journalist. "What is Kyrgyzstan, never heard about it. Let us look it up in Wikipedia. Ah, it is an obscure Muslim country somewhere in central Asia - the girl must be a Muslim then".--Ymblanter (talk) 14:55, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
- There are also Kloop blogs on the progress; there is a 2021 onew which is actually a vlog, which suggests that the program is still running. The 2019 blog here does not mention Anisimova, though she is present on the photo, but says other people were leading the project. It gives quite some details about the organization.--Ymblanter (talk) 15:00, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
- @Ymblanter: Yip, Covid has done for a lot of projects, worldwide. Thanks for finding those blogs and taking the Muslim term out. The Patreon page has a blog entry confirming that she left the project on good terms, in 2020 and LinkedIn shows she went to work for Klopp. So, I guess it doesn't leave much for the article. scope_creepTalk 14:54, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
- No, not much. May be a human rights march.--Ymblanter (talk) 14:57, 24 January 2022 (UTC)

I have sent you a note about a page you reviewed
Hello, Ymblanter
Thank you for creating Lillian Kwok.
User:Dps04, while examining this page as a part of our page curation process, had the following comments:
Thanks for the article. Consider improving with more reliable sources and corresponding information from the Chinese Wikipedia. Note that the article at its current stage seems to have given undue emphasis over Kwok's participation in a recent social gathering and alleged false claims as to her occupation, which might have affected the article's tone and neutrality. Consider, if possible, to add coverage of Kwok's background and her activities in other areas as well. Thanks.

- I do not think I have ever created Lillian Kwok. And there is no way I can improve anything using the Chinese Wikipedia.--Ymblanter (talk) 14:02, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
- Ymblanter, in that case please ignore my message. My message was automated from the page review tool and for some reason was sent to you erroneously. Apologies for the confusion and happy editing~~ --Dps04 (talk) 14:05, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
- Sure, no problem. I think my interaction with the article was that I reviewed it but then immediately unreviewed it because I had some notability doubts (I would need to look up what thic council means, and I did not have time for that at the moment). Presumably this is why I got the automatic message,--Ymblanter (talk) 14:15, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
- I see, thanks for telling me that. As to your notability concerns, the subject is a newly elected Hong Kong lawmaker, and there are numerous sources in Chinese providing some decent to significant coverage of the subject: 1, 2. While the article would benefit from additional copyediting, the subject should be able to meet WP:NPOL #1 and WP:GNG, which is also why I reviewed it. Hope this addresses your concerns. --Dps04 (talk) 15:00, 24 January 2022 (UTC)

Wiki Etiquette
Users are not required to be logged in, assuming someone who is not logged in is ban evading or a sock puppet account simply because they are not logged in is irrational. Then going so far as to accuse them of vandalism is not what we strive for here. It's even worse when your edits were factually incorrect. Please try to do better.ShroudedSciuridae (talk) 22:18, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
- Whereas generally they are not required to log in I am sure this one was a sock. Hopefully now I have cleared this mess, which was left from the previous edit-warring.--Ymblanter (talk) 06:20, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
- I can assure you I am no sock, even when not logged in.ShroudedSciuridae (talk) 21:49, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

You are too modest my friend, just strike it out, in-fact I have gone ahead & I have done just that Celestina007 (talk) 22:51, 25 January 2022 (UTC)

Question about revdeletion of WP:LIVE violations
Hi Ymblanter, thank you for the page protection!
I got one more question: On the Croatian Wikipedia we revision delete WP:LIVE violations (= not in all cases, but in some) and content that could be viewed as defamation or very nasty trolling/vandalism that could be insulting. How is that handled on en.wiki? Are such as cases (like in the examples I mentioned) usually left in the edit history?
Best regards, Koreanovsky (talk) 20:49, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
- I have looked at the edits, I do not see there anything which needs to be revision-deleted, though of course another administrator can decide otherwise.--Ymblanter (talk) 20:50, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you for the fast reply and your comment! Best regards, Koreanovsky (talk) 20:57, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
