Your draft article, Draft:Ber (Birkenthal) of Bolekhiv[edit]

Hello, StanZhukov22. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Ber (Birkenthal) of Bolekhiv".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted.

December 2023[edit]

Hello, I'm Mellk. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Helena Blavatsky, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Mellk (talk) 11:16, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Helena Blavatsky was born on the territory of modern Ukraine and her pedigree mostly consists of aristocracy. From her father's side she's

Baltic German, and from her mother's side she descends from ethnic Ukrainians and the Ukrainian branch of the house of Dolgorukov. I believe her ethnicity is already well sourced in the rest of the wikipedia article making a strong point that she should be listed as a Ukrainian rather than Russian.

See MOS:NATIONALITY. Even if we pretend there was a Ukrainian "branch" of Dolgorukovs, this still does not follow the manual of style. Mellk (talk) 12:37, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit of yours to the page Helena Blavatsky has an edit summary that appears to be inadequate, inaccurate, or inappropriate. The summaries are helpful to people browsing an article's history, so it is important that you use edit summaries that accurately tell other editors what you did. Feel free to use the sandbox to make test edits. Thank you. Vanjagenije (talk) 13:00, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction to contentious topics[edit]

You have recently edited a page related to Eastern Europe or the Balkans, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief 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.
