Rollback granted
[edit]Hi Dschslava. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:
- Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
- Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
- Rollback should never be used to edit war.
- If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
- Use common sense.
If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Widr (talk) 06:11, 6 April 2016 (UTC)
Please advise
[edit]Hello Dschslava, For some reason our articles Haulmont and CUBA Platform are marked for deletion though we previously made all disclosures and they were approved for adding to Wiki. Now appears someone "Patar knight" and and puts deletion tag on both articles. He says that Haulmont mentioning is not valuable for Wiki (despite the arguments on talk page) and for CUBA Platform he doesn't state any arguments for deletion at all. Can you advise please what should we do to negotiate it? You seem to be more friendly, so your advise will be appreciated. Thank you in advance, Andrey. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AndreyLednev (talk • contribs) 09:22, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
- @AndreyLednev: his arguments are based on WP:GNG. I recommend that you find extensive coverage in reliable secondary sources (as described in WP:GNG. Dschslava (talk) 18:18, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
Crimea annexation RfC
[edit]I've opened an RfC on Talk: Annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation on the question
"Should the information about opinion polls, currently in the subsection Crimean public opinion be moved into the subsection Crimean status referendum?"
As you recently edited this talk page, I thought you might like to share your views. Kalidasa 777 (talk) 00:11, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Titan Radio
[edit]Hello Dschslava. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Titan Radio, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Things associated with Cal State, even student radio stations, may pass WP:GNG because... well, they are associated with Cal State. Maybe a redirect to California State University, Fullerton#Student life? Thank you. Shirt58 (talk) 11:02, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
- @Shirt58: yes, I suppose that sounds more reasonable than what I had initially proposed. Dschslava (talk) 22:15, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
- No wukkas, as we say in Koalaland. It's up for speedy deletion again, but I'm not going to bust a gut about this.

Speedy deletion
[edit]Hi dschslav I would like to ask you why did you nominate my article nenad Radulovich for speedy deletion I would like to hear your opinion why you think it should be removed please repply back thank you. ApocalypseDoomer (talk) 05:08, 29 April 2016 (UTC)
- @ApocalypseDoomer: my rationale is based off of WP:ACADEMIC. Dschslava (talk) 05:10, 29 April 2016 (UTC)
- Now I understand but does this mean my article will be removed? ApocalypseDoomer (talk) 05:17, 29 April 2016 (UTC)
- @ApocalypseDoomer: yes, probably. Oh, and there's no need to ping me on my own talk page. Dschslava (talk) 05:31, 29 April 2016 (UTC)
