I'm looking at the list of the Ukrainian painters of the same period: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ukrainian_artists.

Taganrog
Current version states: 'Arkhip Kuindzhi was born in January 1842 (1841?) in Mariupol (nowadays Ukraine), but spent his youth in the city of Taganrog'. This is incorrect. Kuindzhi moved to Taganrog in 1860 when he was 18, i.e. already an adult by the standards of XIX century. --Gennadiy Kornev (talk) 10:52, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
Multiple vandalism from russian accounts
I mentioned specific activity of q-wert-273 user, who administrates russian wikipedia and pro-actively shot down all changes to the same article but in russian part of wiki. So, now he does the same here. I see that this user monitoring article during the day just to change the nationality of ukrainian artist. I think such actions should be seeing as part of russia hybrid war that is very active on the wikipedia too. Article about ukrainians in wiki ALWAYS under control of a lot of russian admins and bots, who rewrite everything as it was russian and belongs to them. It's sad to see that english speaking admins do not punish such users as q-wert-273 in the context of big threat and hybrid war which is directed against Ukraine right now. Ґендерний Джихад (talk) 11:16, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
- Kuindzhi was a Greek born in the Russian Empire. So the vandals here are only those who call him Ukrainian. -Bladeness (talk) 11:55, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
- q-wert-273 user, who administrates russian wikipedia — What are you even talking about? Q-Wert-273 (talk) 16:45, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
- What I did was reverting vandalism and adding sources. And you need to stop vilifying users based on their nationality, calling them bots and chauvinists, and implying that they take part in some organized aggression. This is against Wikipedia's policy of Civility. Q-Wert-273 (talk) 04:53, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
Bladeness, Russian Empire wasn't homogeneous, a lot of nations and ethnicities lived there. The same as in Britain Empire etc. Someone born in Russian Empire ≠ this person is russian. Kuindzhi raised in ukrainian ethnic lands and then his ukrainian background influenced his works, a lot of them are about Ukraine and ukrainians. Ґендерний Джихад (talk) 13:58, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
- A lot of his works are about Caucasus too. Should we call him Caucasian painter? And what does his ethnicity have to do with this? He was from the Russian Empire (short: Russia). Therefore he was a Russian painter. Alexxzz123 (talk) 19:52, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
As I mentioned before, all denying of his ukrainian nationality and roots (born in ukrainian ethnic lands, raised among ukrainians) and chauvinism comes from russian accounts.

So, then what's the point to write that someone is "russian"?) Ґендерний Джихад (talk) 10:55, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
"What's the difference whose artist? It does not matter" but the Russians will still write that the artist is theirs. Sad joke: artists of different nationalities entered the Russian Academy of Arts, but when graduating everyone was called Russian artists Pierrte (talk) 20:16, 29 June 2022 (UTC)

Incorrect edit reversal
I have recently made 2 changes: 1. Highlighting the fact that the painter is considered to be not only Russian (being born and active in Russian empire), but also Ukrainian (being born in Ukraine, although under Russian control, and depicting Ukrainian landscapes). This is also supported by some of the links already provided on the page. 2. Fixed juxtaposition, between the place of birth and the place of youth - in fact they were both parts of Ekaterinoslav Governorate.
However, both of my changes were reverted by JJMC89 bot III.
Can the bot be stopped from making the reversal? Igorre25 (talk) 02:12, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
No, becuase JJMC89 bot doesn't do that. I did, because it's introducing an anachronism, as it says twice already. Calling him Ukrainian would be like calling Trajan a Spaniard. The country simply did not exist at the time. It may be unfair, or even wrong, but it's history, and it's been already discussed on this very talk page twice in the last six months. Re-litigating this won't do anyone any good. Sumanuil. 06:37, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
I'm sorry Sumanuil, but your analogy is not correct. The fact that Ukraine was occupied by the Russian Empire does not mean that people born there stop being Ukrainians. The fact that Poland was occupied and didn't exist for more than a century doesn't deny the fact that Chopin, who was born when there was no Poland, is considered Polish composer. As I mentioned earlier, some of the links provided on the page also state that Kuindzhi is considered to be a Ukrainian painter. The same approach is applied to many people born in imperial states - they could be considered not only a part of imperial heritage, but also of the colonial one.
Also, why the correction about the Taganrog was reverted? Igorre25 (talk) 19:44, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
- Being born within the borders of modern-day Ukraine does not automatically make someone a Ukrainian, sorry. We do not say Kant was a Russian because he was born in modern-day Kaliningrad. Also because of WP:V. Mellk (talk) 23:03, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
- And using the term "occupied" is some kind of WP:FRINGE. Mellk (talk) 23:05, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
Yes, I agree that I should have used the term "colonized" instead of "occupied".
Your arguments seem to imply that colony doesn't have any claim on any cultural heritage on its territory for the period of being a colony, but it doesn't make any sense.
For WP:V see references 1 and 11.
Igorre25 (talk) 06:06, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
The example of Kant perfectly contradicts the reason provided for the reversal of my edits. When Kant lived, there was no such country as Germany, but he still is considered a German philosopher. Igorre25 (talk) 06:34, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
How my changes would contradict that? I'm just confirming that Kuindzhi is not only Russian, but also a Ukrainian painter. How that breaks WP:POV? Igorre25 (talk) 15:46, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
- The relevant guideline for that is MOS:CONTEXTBIO. Mellk (talk) 16:04, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
- Which says “country, region, or territory … where the person was a citizen, national, or permanent resident.” Ukraine is a country, region, or territory which was colonized by Russia. Ukrainian artist and others have been traditionally called “Russian” according to colonial-era historiography, but this has been changing in recent decades of post-colonial academic practice of history, especially after the collapse of the Soviet empire, and increasingly after the 2014 start of the war and the 2022 invasion.
- So Ukrainian and Russian may either or both be valid identifications for subjects. The guideline doesn’t help determine how to resolve the question in individual cases. Best consult recent reliable sources. —Michael Z. 15:06, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
- He wasn't a citizen of Ukraine, which did not exist at the time, he wasn't ethnically Ukrainian, he did not, to my knowledge, use (or know) Ukrainian in any capacity whatsoever, and (again, to my knowledge) he did not express any desire for Ukraine to be an independent country (and to be a part of that polity). How can he be labelled Ukrainian? Because the city he was born in ended up in independent Ukraine after 1991? Just because some sources call him Ukrainian do to them projecting the present-day nation into the past, which is wrong, doesn't mean we should do the same. As mentioned by another user, we do not call Trajan a Spaniard because Spain did not exist at the time (in spite of the region of Hispania being a thing), even though some sources actually (and mistakenly) do so. Ostalgia (talk) 17:16, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
- Your WP:OR interpretations and second-guessing of the sources doesn’t change that they are reliable, or change what they say. You have no basis to discount them.
- @Ostalgia, this page is under WP:ACDS (Eastern Europe and the Balkans). Please undo your revert and we can continue the discussion. —Michael Z. 22:02, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
- It's not WP:OR to look at a source and notice that factual, easily verifiable information contained by it is inaccurate, otherwise we would have to add, as mentioned, that Trajan was Spanish on the basis of reliable sources having done so. As stated by WP:MOS,
Avoid anachronism. An article about Junípero Serra should say he lived in Alta Mexico, not in California, because the latter entity did not yet exist in Serra's time
. Perhaps ironically, that particular statement might be challengeable, but the underlying logic is still sound. Ostalgia (talk) 00:16, 9 January 2023 (UTC)- That is quite wrong, to put it politely.
- Why don’t you set a precedent correcting major articles like the one about “Italian” sculptor Michelangelo, who died centuries before there was a state called Italy. And the one about “German” composer Johann Sebastian Bach, who was never a citizen of Germany. Explain to other editors how all the sources are wrong about them.
- Then move on to articles about “Russians” who never lived during the existence of a state called Russia, like Mikhail Kaneev, Lev Russov, etcetera.
- It’s unfair to start by picking on an until recently colonized nation like the Ukrainians. —Michael Z. 03:58, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
- Because Michelangelo can be considered an ethnic Italian, used the Italian language, and considered himself and was considered by contemporaries to be Italian, even when there was no independent polity that united all the tiny principalities (as an aside, the notion of a Kingdom of Italy did exist on paper, even if not independent). Furthermore, Michelangelo, as did many of his contemporaries, did not stay in one principality but moved around the territory of present-day Italy. I don't think anyone will object to stating that an ethnic Italian who spoke Italian, considered himself Italian, was considered Italian by his contemporaries, and was important throughout the Italian peninsula is Italian. Same goes for Germans.
- A similar, but not necessarily equivalent, case is that of members of nations/ethnic groups within larger, multinational empires who nevertheless stressed that they were a distinct people. One such case is that of ethnic Poles born within the Russian Empire, Prussia or the Habsburg Empire after the partitions, or (closer to your heart) that of people like Taras Shevchenko - an ethnic Ukrainian who actively stressed his "Ukrainianness", which clearly takes precedence over the fact that he was also a Russian subject and a member of the Russian Imperial Academy of Arts.
- For both sets of situations mentioned above the relevant guideline, I believe, would be MOS:ETHNICITY, because it's their ethnicity/"nationality" that is
relevant to the subject's notability
. - In every other case the guideline says to mention the country
where the person was a citizen, national, or permanent resident when the person became notable
. As the article clearly states, Kuindzhi was not an ethnic Ukrainian (and he did not become famous due to his Greek origins), nor was he a citizen of Ukraine (easily verified by checking the fact that no independent Ukrainian state existed until years after Kuindzhi died). There are no grounds to call him Ukrainian except for the fact that he was born in territory that today is part of Ukraine. - And by all means, don't "put it politely". I much prefer sincere bluntness to hypocritical innuendo. Ostalgia (talk) 12:24, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
- You are cherry-picking different criteria where it suits your argument, so it is inconsistent.
- And misquoting the guideline, which actually says “the country, region, or territory, where the person is currently a citizen . . . where the person was a citizen, national, or permanent resident when the person became notable.” Although known by several names, Ukraine has always been a definable country, region, and territory during historical times, and Ukraine is the homeland of Pontic Greeks, as well as of Ukrainians in the ethnic, cultural, regional, and civic senses.
- That is why these authoritative and relatively recent sources identify him with the country where he came from and executed his important and characteristic works, not the empire it was colonized by. —Michael Z. 16:24, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
- It's not WP:OR to look at a source and notice that factual, easily verifiable information contained by it is inaccurate, otherwise we would have to add, as mentioned, that Trajan was Spanish on the basis of reliable sources having done so. As stated by WP:MOS,
- He wasn't a citizen of Ukraine, which did not exist at the time, he wasn't ethnically Ukrainian, he did not, to my knowledge, use (or know) Ukrainian in any capacity whatsoever, and (again, to my knowledge) he did not express any desire for Ukraine to be an independent country (and to be a part of that polity).

Ostalgia (talk) 17:16, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
I'm looking at the list of the Ukrainian painters of the same period: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ukrainian_artists. Why Apollon Mokritsky is specified as Ukrainian, but Arkhip Kuindzhi from the same list cannot be identified as such? Igorre25 (talk) 05:11, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
- These pages are always subject to edit warring and POV pushing, so one day a certain page may say "Ukrainian", other day "Russian", other day "Russian–Ukrainian", other day "Soviet" etc. Mellk (talk) 18:03, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
Still, in this case we're talking about an ethnic Greek who never lived in an independent Ukraine. Sumanuil. 20:04, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
His father was Greek, but his mother, according to some websites, and which is very likely, was Ukrainian. So, he can also be considered ethically Ukrainian. Igorre25 (talk) 05:58, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
Please provide those sources. Sumanuil. 04:04, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
- The cited sources keep being removed. Here they are for posterity:
- Some arguments made above are straw men or otherwise irrelevant:
- “Wasn't a citizen of Ukraine, which did not exist at the time”
- “He wasn't ethnically Ukrainian”
- “He did not express any desire for Ukraine to be an independent country”
- “An Ethnic Greek”
- “Never lived in an independent Ukraine”
- These are colonial arguments that denigrate Ukrainian identity. They are not a basis for disqualifying sources inconvenient for WP:righting great wrongs. Furthermore, they are offensive and should not be tolerated in discussions, much less on an article subject to discretionary sanctions. —Michael Z. 22:11, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
- The Oxford Art online source is sufficient for me. Volunteer Marek 14:05, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
