Welcome!

Hello, UA0Volodymyr, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Kira Rudyk, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• Best practices for editors with close associations
• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• Tutorial
• How to edit a page and How to develop articles
• How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
• Simplified Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Again, welcome!

AN/I

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. 86.28.234.5 (talk) 19:13, 30 September 2023 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to Eastern Europe or the Balkans, a topic designated as contentious. This standard message is designed as an introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

• adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
• comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
• follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
• comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
• refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

Please also note that due to WP:GS/RUSUKR, non-extended-confirmed editors (<500 edits) are unable to make edits to articles with content about Russia-Ukraine war (but can leave constructive comments at the talk page). Thanks. Mellk (talk) 10:57, 1 October 2023 (UTC)

More edits like this will result in a block or in a topic ban. Ymblanter (talk) 15:16, 3 October 2023 (UTC)

This means edits like this ("broadly construed"). Mellk (talk) 18:37, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

Occupation of Sevastopol legally does not distinguish from the occupation of, for example, Donetsk, and in both cases only Ukraine and its administrative division should be listed in infobox and there is a consensus that Russian occupational government should be listed as installed by Russia. UA0Volodymyr (talk) 18:43, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

These are general sanctions. You cannot make such edits about Russia-Ukraine war, BROADLY CONSTRUED. If you are going to edit war over this after multiple warnings this will almost certainly lead to a block. Mellk (talk) 18:45, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

I won't anymore till I become extended-confirmed, but in any case you shouldn't revert it because those edits in Sevastopol page were consensus. UA0Volodymyr (talk) 18:49, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

No, not how it works. By the way, have you had any previous accounts before? Mellk (talk) 18:51, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

Oh, yes. That one, but I forgot a password long time ago and besides, I'm just not comfortable with that nickname. UA0Volodymyr (talk) 18:55, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

This and this edit is still a violation of WP:GS/RUSUKR. Please read it again carefully. Mellk (talk) 20:07, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

Also this. Mellk (talk) 20:11, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

And one more will result in a block. Ymblanter (talk) 20:22, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

This still falls under "broadly construed". Mellk (talk) 01:45, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

Also the redirect you created at Donbas separatists. Mellk (talk) 01:45, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

I just wrote correct transliteration from Ukrainian and created a redirect for that. I didn't break WP:RUSUKR, because I didn't wrote about a war itself. UA0Volodymyr (talk) 06:25, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 31h for disruptive editing, deliberately ignores WP:RUSUKR. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  User:Ymblanter (talk) 05:32, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

ENGVAR

In your edit on Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe Party you introduced a number of violations of WP:ENGVAR. It is your responsibility to ensure that your edits conform to policies and guidelines. You cannot make a edit that is riddled with errors and expect someone else to clean it up for you. If you want to make the few changes in your edit that are not ENGVAR violations, please do it yourself and don't ask other editors to do your work for you. Thank you.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Norwegian Book Club (October 4)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Theroadislong was: Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

• If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Norwegian Book Club and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
• If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
• If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Theroadislong (talk) 20:43, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

Hello, UA0Volodymyr! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! Theroadislong (talk) 20:43, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

October 2023

Please stop. If you continue to add promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, as you did at Kira Rudyk, you may be blocked from editing. Drmies (talk) 13:01, 7 October 2023 (UTC)

Your interactions with that IP editor, you should really rethink all of that. Without exception, the IP editor was correct on the matter of article content, and you were wrong. Your edit summaries were likewise wrong--I suppose I was guilty of vandalism too in that article? Drmies (talk) 13:13, 7 October 2023 (UTC)

October 2023

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, such as those you made to Alexander Butterfield‎. Such edits constitute vandalism and are reverted. Please do not continue to make unconstructive edits to pages; use the sandbox for testing. Thank you. - Tim1965 (talk) 14:03, 7 October 2023 (UTC)

• Thanks Tim1965. UAoV, that was another edit by the IP, whose skills in English are simply superior to yours, in fact they are superior to the skills of many Wikipedia editors, including me. You could have included an edit summary that explained the edit, but you didn't. That's disruptive. Drmies (talk) 20:25, 7 October 2023 (UTC)
• And instead of responding to legitimate concerns here, you're making more unexplained edits? 1/3 of your edits have no edit summaries at all. Drmies (talk) 20:38, 7 October 2023 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Crimean Tatar language shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. 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 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; read about 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 you 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 do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. Mellk (talk) 12:38, 17 October 2023 (UTC)

AN/I Notice

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. 37.245.43.164 (talk) 12:52, 17 October 2023 (UTC)

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. Mellk (talk) 12:57, 17 October 2023 (UTC)

October 2023

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 week for edit warring and violating the three-revert rule, as you did at Crimean Tatar language. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

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.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Bbb23 (talk) 13:56, 17 October 2023 (UTC)
