The links you gave make hardly any mention of people considering Vatutin being a liberator. One does, and that was about renaming a street named after him because people felt he was not a liberator. And the one in French cannot be translated. I will correct your mistake tomorrow when I get the chance.

Your reading is poor my friend, as every page and article names him a liberator or involved in liberation. But do not bother about the article, as it is protected for a few months. The Banner talk 00:42, 23 March 2018 (UTC)

And thank you for confirming that you are a sockpuppet and avoiding a block. The Banner talk 08:24, 23 March 2018 (UTC)

Hello, @The Banner: I see you already had a problem with Anone User talk:71.121.248.91. Now he is at edit wars with personal attacks in the article Taras Bulba-Borovets. Could you help me in this situation? I'm new and I do not know who to contact.--Nicoljaus (talk) 09:01, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

1st Regiment

Hi The Banner, thanks for fixing my mistake on 1st Regiment. The article does show up on maintenance pages, which is why I ended up there in the first place. It links to 1st Infantry Division (disambiguation) which is itself an ambiguous term that redirects to 1st Division. I had intended to change the link to [[1st Division (disambiguation)#Infantry divisions|1st Infantry Division (disambiguation)]] but left out the critical '(disambiguation)'. If you have no objection, I'll make the correct edit. Leschnei (talk) 12:15, 4 April 2018 (UTC)

Section Blanking

Instead of section blanking the company pages of Star India and Zee Entertainment Enterprises which is really unhelpful, cant you just put a tag on top that the page needs to be edited better? You just seem to be bulldozing the edits on people who don't get your point of view. List of Sony trademarks is an example of page where notable original brands of a particular company is listed in comprehensive manner.JayB91 (talk) 22:04, 12 April 2018 (UTC)

Okay, next time I will bring the editors to the COI notice board. By the way, I am not the only one removing the spam. The Banner talk 22:38, 12 April 2018 (UTC)

Channel for discussion

Good afternoon Banner,

Is it possible to open a channel for discussion with you that's separate from a Talk page, or is that the only avenue?
