Recent closure at Talk:2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine

Hey. I saw you closed the discussion at Talk:2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine#War crimes. I was wondering if you could do the same for the discussion at Talk:2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine#Ukraine military to murder prisoners of war ?? as it's an earlier thread on the same topic?

Turkey

Hello you said I was edit warring, however [1] this user doesn't seem to make an argument, see his 3 reverts, in which one is solely wrong, and doesn't seem to engage in talks. What wrong addition did you see? I've put my arguments. Beshogur (talk) 00:08, 5 March 2022 (UTC)

Political suppression of discussion of racial politics

Thos moderator closed a civil and semi-fruitful discussion calling out anti-white progressive racism on wikipedia https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Whitewashing_in_film#Article_has_anti-white_progressive_racist_bias I will investigate the formal reporting procedure but wanted to note this here too in case it is part of a larger pattern of behaviour 2A01:4B00:8697:7300:D43D:DF69:30B1:AD1 (talk) 21:21, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

Go report it on WP:ANI if you want. EvergreenFir (talk) 21:25, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

Thank-you I have added an entry there — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A01:4B00:8697:7300:D43D:DF69:30B1:AD1 (talk) 21:37, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

Kosovo and 1RR

Hello, and thanks for the heads up. I realise that 24 hours ago, I was in clear violation of 1RR (I just ignored the sign which I seem to recall from before). Can you advise me what I should do at the moment to avoid sanctioning? I realise as an admin, you are entitiled if you wish to block me and maybe others. --Edin balgarin (talk) 20:59, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

@Edin balgarin: generally speaking, old violations that aren't continuing behaviors will not be sanctioned. Blocked are for stopping current disruption, not for punishment. Please just keep the 1RR in mind when editing. EvergreenFir (talk) 21:01, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

I will do. I've not been checking others' editing activity because I am at the moment engaged with discussions on Kosovo dating back to January 2015. Did you notify Horse Eye's Back as well? Sorry to have asked... --Edin balgarin (talk) 21:11, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

@Edin balgarin: I did, yes. I also recommend that you not accuse users of sockpuppetry without good evidence. That would be considered a personal attack. EvergreenFir (talk) 21:12, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

Evergreen. I apologise there. But please note I only asked if this person was someone else based on TWO similarities and two further peculiarities. There was no direct insinuation. In the meantime, I am reading into something else in this whole affair. If the editor says he is not so-and-so then I'll leave it at that. If a checkuser personally wishes to know what these concerns are then I will share them but I won't take it any further of my own volition. --Edin balgarin (talk) 21:24, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

• Contrary to their assertion here they have not apologized nor have they left it at that. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 22:09, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

Three observations. 1) There is only one of me. 2) I am a biological male. 3) It has stated this on my user page for several years. Kindly refrain from stupid, illogical references to "they/their". It's "his" where Wikipedia is concerned. --Edin balgarin (talk) 22:28, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

@Edin balgarin: The use of singular they is appropriate on Wikipedia when another editor's gender is unknown (or not immediately obvious on a user page and unspecified by your own settings: they (see syntax)). There is no reason to be rude about the courtesy of not assuming your gender identity. If it is something I'd like to avoid in the future, might I recommend adding {{User Male}} or one of these userboxes: Wikipedia:Userboxes/Life/Gender. EvergreenFir (talk) 22:39, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

My apologies Edin balgarin, I did not know that was your preference. I will use "he/him/his" from now on. I wasn't going to make a big deal of it but you keep referring to me as "he" and if we're making a point about it my wikipedia profile is *only* to be referred to using the singular they and variations. My gender is undisclosed and immaterial to any possible discussion. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 22:44, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

That's all right. Just to avoid any problems, which singular pronoun do you wish me to use if I talk to a third person? Note that a longstanding tradition not only of English but all languages (I speak Bulgarian, Russian and a fair amount of Dutch) is to use "he/him/his" when not knowing a sex and it is generally accepted that this extends from specifically male to anything while it is unknown. So there are no aspersions I assure you. Let me know what you would prefer. That is not an enquiry as to the identity of the editor. --Edin balgarin (talk) 22:52, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
