Proposed deletion of Sobornaya Square clashes

The article Sobornaya Square clashes has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

not notable, we already have an article on pro-russian riots

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of states that declared independence during the unrest in East Ukraine until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

I've noticed that you've been creating many articles. However, there are guidelines for how articles should be created. This one is what we call a WP:FORK, in that it merely copies content that already exists in 2014 pro-Russian unrest in Ukraine. We do not fork content. Hence, I've had to nominate the article for deletion. When creating articles, please keep Wikipedia guidelines in mind. RGloucester — ☎ 16:33, 3 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Bare references

I noticed that on Draft:Battle of Donetsk Airport, you were adding bare URLs as references. This is not the preferred method to be used with citations because such a method of referencing is prone to link rot. I would advise that you instead take care to use citation templates instead. Thank you. Dustin (talk) 22:44, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think you ever saw what I said above, so I will just say again please do not use bare references as sources. You have been here for a few months, and while it is not required of you, I ask that whenever you add a reference, that you please use one of the WP:Citation templates, such as {{cite web}} and {{cite news}}. It really saves time, and it allows for more consistent formatting. Thank you. Dustin (talk) 17:23, 19 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

May 2014

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Draft:Battle of Donetsk Airport a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Battle of Donetsk Airport. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut-and-paste-move repair holding pen. Thank you.

There is a section on the "Battle of Yampil" at 2014 insurgency in Donbass. This "article" is redundant, and doesn't meet WP:PERSISTENCE. Saying "it is notable" repeatedly doesn't make it notable in reality. RGloucester — ☎ 22:06, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Ism schism: Thank you for saying that. Are you going to create a draft of the Battle of Yampil? I would see no problem with it, but the last time it was regarded as a fork article, because whoever made the first one decided to copy the entire battle of yampil section.--Arbutus the tree (talk) 23:12, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

New article

I know you are itching to write a new article, but I don't think the Donetsk offensive one will pan out. However, I do know that we do need new articles, just not on this "Donetsk offensive". Perhaps, instead of working on this, you'd be interesting in creating an article Battle in Shakhtarsk Raion? The fighting there has been extraordinary, and it is also connected to MH17, but our coverage of the events are fairly poor. This is something that deserves an article, and would really help our coverage. It wouldn't be a fork, either. If you're up for it, it would be appreciated. RGloucester — ☎ 18:51, 1 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

New drafts

I support the Ilovaisk draft, as we don't have much information on that battle, despite its importance (i.e. accusations by Semenchenko that Armed Forces abandoned Donbas Battalion and subsequent protests by Euromaidan activists). However, I think the Novoazovsk one is un-needed. It was a quick battle, and War in Donbass and 2014 Russian military intervention in Ukraine already cover it adequately. RGloucester — ☎ 03:54, 30 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

Rules of edit

According to the rule #2: Copying from maps is strictly prohibited. Maps from mainstream media are approximate and therefore unreliable for any edit. Maps from amateur sources are below the standards of Wikipedia for any edit. They violate WP:RS and WP:CIRCULAR.
WP:RS: “Anyone can create a personal web page or publish their own book, and also claim to be an expert in a certain field. For that reason, self-published media, such as books, patents, newsletters, personal websites, open wikis, personal or group blogs, Internet forum postings, and tweets, are largely not acceptable as sources.” Source: Wikipedia:Verifiability#Self-published_sources
WP:CIRCULAR: “Do not use websites that mirror Wikipedia content or publications that rely on material from Wikipedia as sources.” Read this Rules for editing the map: Module:Syrian Civil War detailed map We can't use maps. Sûriyeya (talk) 08:12, 31 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant!

Greetings from WikiProject:Ukraine

	Have a good day!
	Thank you so much for edits in this project! I am very grateful, because there are so many articles yet to be written about Ukraine that it's scary – but when I look at the contributions of project participants, they calm me down: there are people who will eventually take care of it all -- Ата ^(talk) 12:15, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
