Donguz Formation
Hi Ymblanter! Donguz Formation was recently created and could use a couple of edits so it doesn't get speedy deleted. Do you have time to look at some Russian sources? --Tobias1984 (talk) 07:13, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
- I will have a look, but this is clearly not speedy deletion material. Added to the watchlist just in case.--Ymblanter (talk) 07:17, 27 May 2013 (UTC)

Canada lists
// There are a number of problems with the Canadian historic places lists. They include:
- provincial lists are too long (some are over 1,000 entries) and need to be split
- lists are not sorted, and are not sortable even by municipality, due to the way the address was dumped
- don't use {{coord}}, so can't use {{GeoGroup}} for mapping
- references numbers (into the CRHP) are sometimes inaccurate, and need to be verified
- the same place may be multiply designated (federal/provincial/municipal, sometimes multiple federal)
- there are missing entries due to the way the data was retrieved
I have no easy ideas on how to address the last point, so am focusing on the other items. What I'm doing is a multi-step process:
- Fill out the municipality field in the {{HPC row}} templates and deleted the municipality (and redundant "Canada") from the address field (if no municipality is given, try going to the referenced CRHP entry to figure it out)
- Sort entries by municipality and count entries to figure out how to split the list. This is generally along the lines of counties or their equivalent (some Canadian counties have been supplanted by regional municipalities, see the Nova Scotia list for examples); you'll have to figure out which counties places are in
- Split the big list; I've not been explicitly seeking consensus, but if the history indicates it might be needed, best check for it. The remaining steps are then done to each sublist.
- Validate that the id numbers actually link to the proper CRHP listing. If they don't, find the right one by searching the CRHP (every listing I've seen with a wrong id was listed under a different one)
- Merge duplicated listings where possible (it isn't if there is more than one federal designation, for example, but provincial and municipal listings can be merged into those)
- Sort the list by primary alpha words (see the Nova Scotia or PEI lists for examples)
- Change references to {{HPC row}} to {{HPC rowt}}, which uses {{coord}}. This requires changing "lat" and "lon" to "latd" and "longd", and changing the sign on the longitude. (IMHO the last is lame, but the template was already in use on several lists before I took this on)
- Make sure municipality names are linked (I usually do this in conjunction with one of the other passes, and don't worry about redlinks)
- If the name field contains pipe links, add "namea" field containing just the name, otherwise the coordinate field gets screwed up
- Add {{GeoGroup}} and a locator map to the top of the list
I have done this for Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, PEI (almost done), and am starting in on New Brunswick. Others have previously done work on the Canadian territory lists (Yukon, Northwest, Nunavut, all fairly modest in length), and those for British Columbia and Saskatchewan. This leaves Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario, and Quebec to do, where some splitting has been done, but little else.
Things this work does not do fix:
- making the list sortable by address, which would require adding sort keys to the municipality field so that the listings get sorted properly within municipality (see {{sort}})
- making the list properly sortable by name (I tried putting sort keys in the name field, and it caused problems with the coordinates)
Did I mention this is tedious work? Thanks for helping! Magic♪piano 20:53, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks for the explanations. I will have a look at Alberta tomorrow.--Ymblanter (talk) 20:56, 22 August 20/13 (UTC)

- I guess this is more a question to @Multichill: than to me, but I guess if it were he would do the conversion himself without asking me. Let us wait what he answers. If the conversion is not possible, I volunteer to do at least some of the manual conversion (one-two lists per day).--Ymblanter (talk) 11:50, 26 August 2013 (UTC)

Cleaning up the Belarus geographical mess
I'm getting unstuck in trying to compile a table of terminology for the Belarus geographical naming conventions. There appears to be a flood of new articles and stubs recently and it appears that English Wikipedia is now leading the way with transliteration/transcription norms (which, as we know, simply isn't Wikipedia's role). As the contributors don't seem to know what to do other than follow the current directives, we're ending up with orphaned pages and broken links absolutely everywhere.
My thoughts are to follow the Belarusian government standards for the English speaking world (which DON'T involve the irritating version of what is essentially Latinka), i.e. as laid out per this map and other official sites. What's good enough for the Belarus government should be good enough for us.
You can check the sad beginnings in my sandbox. Any constructive input from sensible Wikipedians would be appreciated.
I've left this message on Ezhiki and TaalVerbeteraar's pages as well. Cheers! --Iryna Harpy (talk) 04:54, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

Did you understand what I am saying; I am asking to edit this page according to this way. I would ask you to edit pages 2011 in film and 2012 in film in this way.
- I already replied and made very clear that (i) I am not going to do this; (ii) you should try to discuss at talk pages, something you are apparently unwilling to do. Please stop posting here. Thank you.--Ymblanter (talk) 22:59, 12 December 2015 (UTC)
Hello! I've found your comment on my talk page. I reply here, as maybe you can't check it again. I was just trying yo adjust the Brescia line as it was not appearing right in the table, when I've tried to save it correctly with all the Brescia data correct and at the right place, it appeared a message of overediting or something like that, so I stopped editing. What does "editing as IP" mean? Don't worry, I don't want to generate any war. :) But unfortunately someone deletes the right contribution I leave (just in one particular page). — Preceding unsigned comment added by AndreaTartaglia (talk • contribs) 15:49, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

Your edit summary is incomprehensible. Both Bishonen and Liz have looked into this, two highly respected administrators. You should not be throwing allegations of socking around without providing evidence. 81.147.142.137 (talk) 12:04, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

- Oh, I see, and Bishonen has already come to conclusion you are not acting in good faith. Bad luck and no ANI for you, sorry.--Ymblanter (talk) 12:12, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

I am considering going to SPI regarding... a certain situation and a user whose name I can not type. This was suggested on their talk page. Do you believe that it is worth it? Thanks, GABHello! 20:13, 15 December 2015 (UTC)
- Given that the sockmaster is not blocked, I do not think it can lead to anything except for a block of a possible user with two edits. They did not even formally break any policy - it is not prohibited to edit while logged out, they did not team-revert, and their unblock conditions is a matter of two admins who are watching their talk page. I think the user just still have very little understanding what Wikipedia is for, and this will lead to the reinstatement of an indefinite block pretty soon.--Ymblanter (talk) 20:48, 15 December 2015 (UTC)
- Thank you for the sound advice. I probably shouldn't jump the gun. Furthermore, on a different note, we are seeing very nasty comments on Americans for Legal Immigration, and our patience is wearing thin. So I would appreciate your advice in this case, too. Best, GABHello! 22:57, 15 December 2015 (UTC)
Need some help
Dear Yaroslav, I'm asking you to pay attention to the edits made by the vandal Yura2404, who was constantly making false claims and trying to exaggerate Russian casualties in WWI-related articles by cherry-picking sources and citing books and websites that didn’t support his words (for a discussion of his vandalism, see [1], [2], [3]). For example, in "Baranovichi Offensive" he put the number of Russian casualties at “80,000 KIA, WIA, MIA” and gave a reference to Залесский К. А. Кто был кто в Первой мировой войне. — М:Астрель. АСТ, 2003. — p. 699 (in Russian). However, there is not even a single mention of those “80,000 KIA, WIA, MIA” on p. 699 or elsewhere. In "Lake Naroch Offensive" he estimated the Russian casualties at 150,000, pointing to another Russian source, namely Оськин М. В., Брусиловский прорыв, М., 2010, p. 7, despite the fact that it actually puts the casualties at 80,000 (p. 8), not even close to 150,000. In "First Battle of the Masurian Lakes" he added a sentence saying that “[the] Russians suffered a crushing defeat and retreated in disarray with massive losses” and left a reference to Spencer C. Tucker, The European Powers in the First World War: An Encyclopedia, 2013, p. 232. However, p. 232 says that “Rennenkampf finally disengaged under cover of a two-division counterattack, thereby preventing a second German double envelopment” instead of “retreated in disarray”. In "Siege of Przemyśl" the same vandal estimated the casualties sustained by the Russian army at "115,000 total casualties (40,000 casualties were sustained in the first few days of the siege)", pointing to the following link: [4] (in Hungarian). Once again, I checked his source, only to find out that it doesn't contain this overall number. So far, the vandal has damaged multiple articles and it will take a lot of time for others to improve them. Although he was warned on the Administrators' noticeboard in July, he is still willing to make changes to "Battle of Kursk". Eriba-Marduk (talk) 21:42, 15 December 2015 (UTC)
- I am afraid there is very little I can do. I would say the best strategy is first to try to talk to them at their talk page, and if it does not help take it to ANI citing these arguments.--Ymblanter (talk) 21:59, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

History_of_Ukraine#Independent_Ukraine
I is not sure that adding 2015 information about the state of reforms in Ukraine and its economics in History_of_Ukraine#Independent_Ukraine is a good thing.... Especially since information about the state of reforms in Ukraine and its economics prior to this year is missing in History_of_Ukraine#Independent_Ukraine. A lot is missing in History_of_Ukraine#Independent_Ukraine.... History_of_Ukraine#Independent_Ukraine is supposed to be a small summary; adding very detailed current information in it does not make sense to me. That is for other Wikipedia articles like economy of Ukraine. — Yulia Romero • Talk to me! 15:26, 22 December 2015 (UTC)
- I am open on this, but when I came to that article the 2014-2015 part looked like a selection of randomly added sentences. I tried to make it more ordered, added the elections of Poroshenko (who prior to my edits was not even mentioned in the article) and a couple of more things. In my view, this is an overview article, and say in 2030, if Wikipedia survives until then, it should briefly discuss the 2014 events and the aftermath - whether the reforms which started were successful. Obviously, we do not know yet, but as for now, everything I could find confirms the summary of the Bloomberg opinion piece - that the reforms are basically stalled and the economy is on the verge of collapse. I have never seen a different opinion except from the parties clearly affiliated with Ukrainian government. If such opinions exist, they must clearly be added in the article. However, I feel that at this point (December 2015) some one-line summary is already needed, and since there is plenty of RS on this, I think it should stay in the article. Again, I am open on this, and please by all means feel free to reformulate if you think it is POV or does not express the sources.--Ymblanter (talk) 15:33, 22 December 2015 (UTC)
Agree! I added some stuff about the presidency's of Leonid Kravchuk, Leonid Kuchma, Viktor Yushchenko and Viktor Yanukovych and the state of human rights and economics in Ukraine. This added to your additions about 2015/2015 state of reforms in Ukraine and its economic the section is starting to make some sense. More could be done, but I am just not such an enthusiastic Wikipedian as before 2014.... — Yulia Romero • Talk to me! 18:22, 22 December 2015 (UTC)
Problematic user
CharlesBradlaughSociety (talk · contribs), who you recently blocked for edit warring, clearly represents a group, which isn't allowed. I was wondering how you intend to handle this? (Call it a new admin learning experience.) They've been notified of the problem but not taken any action. BethNaught (talk) 18:58, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
- They clearly do not get it, possibly because they do not understand what Wikipedia is (may be they do not even know what the talk page is). To enable us to do smth, they must respond in some way at their talk page. If they do not, but instead continue after the block expires, they are likely to be blocked again, and at some point they will just get indeffed.--Ymblanter (talk) 19:02, 23 December 2015 (UTC)

This editorially disruptive user's been violating WP:3RR before (remember that ANI section I made for which admin action never arrived?),[5]-[6]- and now he's at it warring again, with a loaded battleground edit summary, reverted numerous users and editing with a agenda loaded pov.[7]-[8]. I have tons more of diffs if needed, let me know. - LouisAragon (talk) 19:12, 25 December 2015 (UTC)
- Yes, I responded about an hour ago. If the editor keeps reverting, this is the matter for WP:3RRN.--Ymblanter (talk) 19:16, 25 December 2015 (UTC)
-
- Yes, I am removing unsourced pan-Iranian imperialistic propaganda that you inserted in articles. The information had to be sourced when it was inserted, not after the fact. If you check the edit history of these pages, as well as the talk pages, the information had been challenged multiple times in the past, yet it remained unsourced and intact.--Damianmx (talk) 19:19, 25 December 2015 (UTC)
- This Georgian user (if he really is) is making highly disruptive edits and personally motivated article moves on Georgia-related articles. He continues his edit wars on articles like Georgians, Prince Vakhushti of Kartli, Niko Pirosmani. He also makes conflicting moves on Prince Vakhtang-Almaskhan of Georgia and Society for the Spreading of Literacy among Georgians. This needs to stop as soon as possible. Jaqeli 21:28, 29 December 2015 (UTC)
- Since I was involved at some point, I can not block them myself. I guess ANI if the best option (unless there is an explicit violation of the 3RR), my experience is that after three or four motivated ANI requests disruptive users usually get blocked.--Ymblanter (talk) 21:33, 29 December 2015 (UTC)
- Blocked them anyway for large-scale edit-warring, I was involved with Tbilisi and otherwise never interacted with the user,and they are edit-warring in the articles I never looked at.--Ymblanter (talk) 21:38, 29 December 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks but 24h block methinks is a bit shorter block for him. I deeply believe his editing behavior would remain the same as I am not sure he will learn any lessons with this short block. Jaqeli 21:54, 29 December 2015 (UTC)
- If they continue editing in the same way the issue had to be raised again. I do not see why the first block for edit-warring should be longer than 24h.--Ymblanter (talk) 22:03, 29 December 2015 (UTC)
- @Ymblanter:; I just wanted to add to this convo between you and Jaqeli that its unfortunately not only edit warring btw (by far), but a pretty significant scale of disruptive (agenda)-loaded edits in general. This includes, but is not limited to;

Archiving, not deleting
I recently noticed this edit in which you deleted the protected/declined. There's the rolling archive, which if you want to manually archive them (which is suggested not to by a hatnote) then you should move it there, not delete it. Happy new year, Dat GuyTalkContribs 10:44, 31 December 2015 (UTC)
- This is my fault. I was looking for this note but somehow was under impression they are just deleted. Will try to repair it now. Thanks, and also happy New Year.--Ymblanter (talk) 10:51, 31 December 2015 (UTC)

User:Shivanshsinghrajpoot
You blocked this editor, and I see he's been blocked before. Could you take a look at the history of Government Polytechnic Soron Kasganj? I tightened up the article, including removing his name from both the list of students and the caption space in the infobox, but numerous IPs have been restoring some of the stuff I removed - and some that I condensed and moved to another place in the article. If the IPs are not him, I imagine they are his friends. The thing is, he/they are not doing any favors for the institution, in my view, with such trivia. I also cleaned up several of his other articles, and I'm concerned that unless he comes to understand the reason why I and others make such changes, he will continue to create very poor articles. I wrote him a note on his user talk after the first such IP appeared after his block. Maybe you disagree with some of my thinking, including with some of my changes to the articles; I'd also like to get someone else to look at them, to make sure I am not being overly harsh. Maybe on the other hand you can get him to listen so he does something more useful, like looking for sources. Thanks for reading this rambling statement, anyway :-) Yngvadottir (talk) 13:33, 2 January 2016 (UTC)
- I semi-protected the article for three weeks for persistent disruptive editing and I am prepared to protect it again if disruption continues. Adding the list of students is definitely over the top. I suspect the IPs are the same user evading the block, but I am not good at filing SPIs (and I believe CUs will never comment on the correspondence between IPs and a registered user). Anyway, now they have to go to the talk page.--Ymblanter (talk) 13:43, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

User:GeorgiaWikiWriter
Hello Ymblanter,
I have warned User:GeorgiaWikiWriter several times because of his disruptive editing and edit wars. He was also warned by @Flyer22 Reborn: and @Kunalforyou: but he ignored us all. I believe he is a pure vandal that should be blocked indefinitely. One of the last edits he made was on Westboro Baptist Church calling it "a group of fucking morons." His behavior needs to be addressed asap. Thanks. Jaqeli 16:02, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
- Blocked 48h --Ymblanter (talk) 16:10, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
- He doesn't learn his lessons. After he got unblocked he is again vandalizing the redirects over Chichua article. This just needs to stop. Thanks. Jaqeli 10:18, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
- I do not see anything wrong with their edits after the expiration of the block. The name of the article should be properly discussed, and they seem to be participating in the discussion as well.--Ymblanter (talk) 10:23, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
- He has moved the page to non-existent names like "House Chichuaa", "House Chichua", "House of Tchitchua". House of Chichua does not exist. This is just some petty Georgian noble family and he since got registered here is pushing into an aggrandizement of this surname and this needs to stop. Jaqeli 10:34, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
- I do not feel myself comfortably enough to intervene in this situation. You can try asking at WP:ANI but I am afraid chances are not very high, you would need to build up a fairly convincing story.--Ymblanter (talk) 10:37, 10 January 2016 (UTC)

Recreating James Dumont Article
I have heard that the James Dumont Article has been deleted on October 5, 2015. I would like to recreate the article because he has been in big films such as Dallas Buyer's Club, Ocean's Thirteen, Lee Daniel's The Butler, and Jurassic World. He has also appeared in shows American Horror Story, Wild Card, Ravenswood, Hide, and Harry's Law. He has worked in numerous tv shows and in film, so should I remake it.
- The easiest is to use the mechanism of articles for creation, create a draft and then let it get reviewed by community members. Otherwise, if you are sure the person is notable you can just go ahead, but there is always a chance the article could be nominated for deletion. Unfortunately since James Dumont does not seem to ever existed, I can not poin you out to the deletion discussion. Once you try to recreate the article, there should be a link.--Ymblanter (talk) 21:46, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
blocking of 14.140.220.82
The history of 14.140.220.82 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · edit filter log · block user · block log) is rather complicated. The article {{la|Indian Badminton League]] (IBL) was usurped to Premier Badminton League (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (PBL) somewhere about 18 Dec 2015, possibly by Vpgautham. The article was then moved to PBL by someone not involved and IBL redirected to PBL. 14.140.220.82 initially tried to add IBL info to the IBL page here but was informed here No, the article has been moved. So, it would appear that 14.140.220.82 has been trying to un-usurp PBL and restore it back to IBL. I thought the anon was attempting to remove the copyright vio tag. If I had known that, I would have directed the anon to IBL and resolved the redirect concern. I have since copied the anon's text back to IBL. (Not sure how to recover the page history properly here). Anyway, while the anon has been non-communicative, I would suspect that if pointed to IBL, few problems would occur. I request you either remove or reduce the block time. Best regards Jim1138 (talk) 05:20, 6 January 2016 (UTC)
- I just saw that the same IP was blocked for a week in September and thought a month is appropriate in the situation they are massively edit-warring. I can reduce the block to 10 days or smth. If you need a history merge, please let me know.--Ymblanter (talk) 06:25, 6 January 2016 (UTC)
- I now agree with you. It would appear that Arvabhi (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · edit filter log · block user · block log) is 14.140.220.82 reincarnated. Same edit thrice at this point. Neither respond to questions on their talk page. There are news sources stating IBL is rebranding to PBL. Interesting though, the IBL website is still up and does not mention the name change that I have seen. Request withdrawn! Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 10:24, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

Football records in spain[edit]
Thanks for protecting the page. However, you have forgotten to keep the article in the consensus version. A user just reverted a few seconds before you made the protection. Can you please revert it back to the consensus version? Thanks.SupernovaeIA (talk) 21:13, 6 January 2016 (UTC)
- No, please read WP:WRONG VERSION. Sorry for that.--Ymblanter (talk) 21:17, 6 January 2016 (UTC)
- I did read it. And again you have made the same mistake. Please at least put it in the consensus version. The other user again sneaked through before you protected. SupernovaeIA (talk) 12:28, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
- I'm curious to know why you have simply blocked the two editors yourself? You don't appear to be involved and this hasn't attracted the attention of other admins. Sir Sputnik (talk) 15:18, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
Thanks![edit]
I'd have given you a barnstar, but you don't like those. :) Thanks for helping out with ZOIDKIN - I figured that there was some mischief involved, but I wasn't quite sure from whom. You definitely saved the day here! Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 09:34, 11 January 2016 (UTC)
- On a side note, I'm not entirely sure what to do with all of the Rajeshbieee pages. I've sort of stopped for the time being since there's a small chance that he could be unblocked and one of the requirements was that he go through all of his pages and deal with them, but I don't want to let them sit either. (sighs) I figure I'll start going through and at least get rid of a few more of the obvious ones, like the articles for the films that never released. I want to start back up with them, but if there's a slim chance that he may be unblocked and have to do the work instead of us, then I'd like to give him the chance to do this. Part of his unblock requires that he have an uninvolved mentor to assist him, but so far I don't know that there are any takers in this situation. Ah well. Still, we have to focus on the positives - we managed to help someone earlier! Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 09:44, 11 January 2016 (UTC)
- To be honest, I am pretty sure this is a sock - and the fact he says he is not but can not explain the incidence in the user name is not really helping, but we definitely need to wait for CU's. I user to PROD one article from the list per day, I guess I need to resume this.--Ymblanter (talk) 10:12, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

ahmed saad al azhari[edit]
Hi Ymblanter I was hoping you would find the time to help me? From my limited knowledge for Wikipedia I managed to write my first article 'ahmed saad al azhari', however unfortunately it was deleted (by you I think?). I need to re-edit the page to make it less promotional. How do I do that as the ariticle is now deleted? Would I need to create a new article under the same name? To make matters worse, I have chosen a user name that makes it appear the subject of the article is the writer - where this is not the case. I am not Ahmed Saad. Please also could you give me general advice in areas I need to pay attention to on the article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ahmedsaad.ihsan (talk • contribs) 22:43, 19 January 2016 (UTC)
- Could you please provide the exact name of the article? I do not remember anything about it, and without knowing why it was deleted it is not possible to recommend anything.--Ymblanter (talk) 06:28, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
Sure, the link for the deletion log is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahmed_Saad_(Islamic_Scholar) I wanted to rework the article to focus on independent sources. However I still need to refer to some sources that has a relationship with the subject for factual information only. Is this ok? I just don't want to create another page again and get ahmed saad al azhari blacklisted from Wikipedia! Thank you for your time Ahmedsaad.ihsan (talk) 20:06, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
I think there does need to be an article on him, as he seems to be quite a prominent Islamic personality in the UK and abroad. He has appeared in newspapers and was a panelist with Lord Cary on BBC's Doha Debates. Ahmedsaad.ihsan (talk) 20:10, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
- I see. There was a deletion discussion which I summarized, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ahmed Saad Al-Azhari. If you can find reliable sources which demonstrate his notability, then the easiest is to start Draft:Ahmed Saad Al-Azhari, and, when you are ready, nominate it for move to the article space.--Ymblanter (talk) 20:14, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
Sounds good, I will get to work! Thank you for your help. It was my first article. Do you think I should create a new username? I don't want the community to think I am Ahmed SaadAhmedsaad.ihsan (talk) 20:22, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

i'm not a sock account[edit]
well first of all my "42" edits are correcting my own spelling mistakes but i wont bother doing it in future
also the sources i include the bellingcat team which you are happy to have as a source when it reinforces the pro-nato and pro-maidan narrative however based on new "research" by eliot higgins he states that the russian army crossed the border which completely contradicts the nato story that the rebels captured a buk system and for the record the ukrainian army also states that NO BUK WAS CAPTURED from them so both kiev army and bellingcat {eliot higgins} state that the german BND are wrong when the claim rebels captured a buk
you threaten to block me because even with the pro-nato journalist sources i show you that you are absolutely wrong when you delete information from them in an effort to peddle a narrative that even the ukraine army says is wrong
and in relation to "odessa clashes" you very disgracefully implying the victims burned themselves with your "building caught fire in unclear circumstances" when the videos and sources clearly show firstly the building being attacked with petrolbombs and then the escaping victims were set upon and beaten with billyclubs.
and given pro- maidan volunteermarek has chimed in proves wikipedia has no interest in information sources if sources even pro-nato one's dont agree with versions peddled by kiev
- So you're "not a sock account" yet somehow you know that I'm "pro-maidan" (WTFTI).Volunteer Marek (talk) 23:41, 23 January 2016 (UTC)
based on the pro-maidan garbage you have been peddling yes marek you are pro-maidan ....you even call eliot higgins "unreliable source" when he posts info that doesn't support western narrative but when he posts a pro-kiev narrative he is totally legit why is it that bellingcat is a riable source for this [1].. but yet when bellingcat states this [2].he is an unreliable source why the double standards... And as for the trade union house "bursting into flames for no reason" apparently what you can see with your own eyes is not a credible source..OK then Bazzabobo (talk) 01:21, 24 January 2016 (UTC)
- I am not quite sure what the purpose of these messages is. First, you say I have done something I have not done (for example, I did not add or remove any Bellingcat sources, and I do not even have an opinion whether they are reliable. Second, it reads like you want that we make exceptions for policies for you (like WP:RS). I doubt this is going to happen. I still believe you are a sock, but as I said, at this stage I am not going to take any action based on this belief.--Ymblanter (talk) 07:54, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

Third time around at Bach Page and Bach Talk Page
Thanks for your page protection at the Bach page two weeks ago. The disruptive editor User:Francis who caused me to request that Full page protection has returned now a third time to continue edit warring and forum shopping on the Bach article. There is currently the history on the Bach article of your Full page protect of the Bach article, followed by another admin (MusikA) making a subsequent full page protect of Bach, followed by a third admin (SoftL) making a cautionary warning to User:Francis to follow RfC guidelines and to stop edit warring on the Bach article and the Bach Talk page. Other editors have complained about User:Francis's disruptive editing here [23].
I then rewrote the RfC into a format to allow User:Francis to bring his own version of the edit into the article by creating a separate section for him in the new RfC which I placed there last week. Instead, User:Francis then disrupted the new RfC announcement by pretending to be a co-author of the new RfC and changing its wording with the apparent intention of disrupting the RfC and deflecting all participation from other editors. The disruption of the RfC has led to a "broken" RfC with no participants joining the discussion following User:Francis's disruptive edits to the RfC.
This type of disruptive editing I have not previously seen and it has occured three times now. I can offer to rewrite a new RfC a third time to try to come even closer to consensus, but User:Francis is consistently disrupting the edits and edit warring. Since there are 4-5 editors who have requested the User:Buxte edit to the Bach article, with only two editors opposed, it seems that the original 4-5 supporting editors should be given their chance to at least have a fair RfC and to let it run the full 30-days. I can rewrite the RfC a third time if you think it would help since there does not appear to be another way to get past the three previous edit warring attempts by User:Francis. Since you were the original editor to place the Full Page Protection possibly you know the best way to ensure a stable editing environment for the RfC process on the Bach Talk page given this disruptive edit history by User:Francis. Could you glance at this. Fountains-of-Paris (talk) 16:24, 25 January 2016 (UTC)

Turning deleted articles into redirects
Just to let you know, that a number of deleted articles (such as here) will be turned into #REDIRECTS. This is done in the context of a major revision of:
- clean-up of non-notable articles (removal as per WP:NASTRO)
- fixing the List of minor planets#Main index (removal of self-redirects and redlinks)
- several subcategories in Category:Asteroids (consistency).
Only previously deleted articles with a formal "number-name" designation will be turned into redirects, while articles for unnamed bodies are generally not affected. Rfassbind – talk 08:08, 26 January 2016 (UTC)

I would like to re-establish and re-edit the wikipedia page for Tom Baigrie, which was deleted in 2013. The individual has become more noteworthy in recent years across UK financial services regulation and business and there are now multiple sources to which this can be referenced. Would it be acceptable to reinstate the page under these circumstances? Mattmorris100 (talk) 12:43, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
- No, I do not think this is a good idea. The best way is probably to create a draft in the Draft space and then nominate it for move to the article space.--Ymblanter (talk) 12:47, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
New talk section
In the Football records in spain, i have opened a new talk section. So dont accuse me no more saying I didnt notice the talk section. This has been done many times but admins are too lazy to see talk archives. SupernovaeIA (talk) 18:41, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
VISA REQUIRMENTS FOR TUNISIAN CITIZENS
I AM NEW IN WIKIPEDIA AND I EVEN DO NOT HAVE THAT TIME TO BE A PRO HERE, WHEN IT COMES TO THE PAGE OF THE VISA REQUIREMENTS FOR TUNISIAN CITIZENS THE PAGE WAS BLOCKED PLEASE TRY TO READ ALL ITS TALK PAGE TO UNDERSTAND THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO GIVE INFOS IN OTHER WAYS AND THANKS — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dr.Majdiii (talk • contribs) 22:04, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
- It was blocked because all these many people could not agree with each other and started edit warring. Try posting on the talk page of that article and agree with other users.--Ymblanter (talk) 06:43, 28 January 2016 (UTC)
MediaWiki_talk:RefToolbar.js#ref_names_needing_quotes
День добрый. Не могли бы вы поправить эту ошибку? Гаджет используется и в рувики (напрямую с енвики), а так у нас имена сносок зачастую на кириллице, то это становится проблемой. Исправить нужно в функции getQuotedString (я не знаю, почему там проверяется только на вхождение кавычек и пробелов, а не оборачивается всегда). --Dima st bk (talk) 22:45, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
- Так для меня слишком сложно. Я могу исправить, если Вы мне напишете, какую комбинацию символов надо заменить на какую.--Ymblanter (talk) 22:51, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
- Я бы заменил
CiteTB.getQuotedString = function(s) {
var sp = /\s/.test(s); // spaces
var sq = /\'/.test(s); // single quotes
var dq = /\"/.test(s); // double quotes
if (!sp && !sq && !dq) { // No quotes necessary
return s;
} else if (!dq) { // Can use double quotes
return '"'+s+'"';
} else if (!sq) { // Can use single quotes
return "'"+s+"'";
} else { // Has double and single quotes
s = s.replace(/\"/g, '\"');
return '"'+s+'"';
}
};
на
CiteTB.getQuotedString = function(s) {
var sq = /\'/.test(s); // single quotes
var dq = /\"/.test(s); // double quotes
if (!sq && !dq) { // Always quotes for non-latin alphabet
return '"'+s+'"';
} else if (!dq) { // Can use double quotes
return '"'+s+'"';
} else if (!sq) { // Can use single quotes
return "'"+s+"'";
} else { // Has double and single quotes
s = s.replace(/\"/g, '\'');
return '"'+s+'"';
}
};
тогда оно будет ставить кавычки везде. --Dima st bk (talk) 10:59, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

Page Protection on Muhammad
thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!! I have been trying to get an admin to help us out on this page for over 2 months with no avail. The one Admin, Neil, seemed to only hang out there to point fingers and "oppose" any potential solutions, without once freely providing any constructive direction or suggestions on how to resolve the MANY issues on that article (which as this is a highly sensitive religious topic, as one would expect are coming from two very borderline fanatical camps; both pro and anti-Islam). Today was a "miracle day" in that we actually made some very slight progress through compromise...and the usual suspects immediately slapped it down and reverted the page to back when they "ruled the roost". I've tryied RFM (they boycott it so their tactics won't be known outside the board), I've tried the DRN, where the assigned admin is pretty much afraid to do anything....is there ANYTHING we can do to get on-going, RATIONAL admins attached to simply look at proposed changes, the supporting proof/citations and foster a consensus? The "usual suspects" who will not accept anything from one side or another will very quickly make themselves known and can be subsequently banned from those topics, and it may be very easy to manage after that. Trinacrialucente (talk) 09:29, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
- If DRN already failed, and Arbcom case would be the next step. Note that I am not going to be involved in the content, and to be fait, I do not even understand what the problem is. In three days, full protection would expire in three days, and I (or someone else) would just restore the semi-protection, that's it.--Ymblanter (talk) 09:34, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

Changing article name
Hi can you please help me: I would like to change the article Acer Iconia Tab to Acer Iconia (as i wrote in the page's talk page), since Iconia Tab is sub-brand inside the Iconia (which is the family of Acer tablets). The Acer Iconia article redirects to Acer Iconia Tab. So I would like to change the latter to Acer Iconia and redirect Acer Iconia Tab to it. Thanks, Rakoon (talk) 16:05, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

Page Protection
Ymblanter, thank you for protecting the MEDRS page during the dispute. I wanted to make you aware of the history of this ongoing dispute. Several months ago, we tried solving everything on the talk page, and when it appeared we wouldn't get anywhere, I filed an RfC on the page. The result came back that we should, indeed, make the change but a few editors on the losing side of the RfC had a problem with it and edit warred 1 2 3the change from being implemented. I tried resolving the dispute with them by contacting the closer, Elvey and he answered questions and confirmed the close. Yet these editors persisted in edit warring, so another editor, one who actually agreed with the close, filed for an administrative review here instead of going to drama boards to get these disruptive editors blocked. Upon review, an administrator, Jamesday, reviewed the close and made changes. So after filing an RfC and having it closed and some editors edit warred that result for months, an administrative review (which should have solved it) was decided, implemented, and that's also being edit warred by this same group of editors. I know you were unaware of the long history there when you told us to take the dispute to the talk page, we've done that and practically everything else and these editors are still disruptively edit warring valid changes from being implemented. At this point, is there something else that should be done? LesVegas (talk) 18:42, 2 February 2016 (UTC)
- I am afraid WP:DRN is the only viable option. If there are only one or two users edit-warring against clear consensus, you can try WP:ANI.--Ymblanter (talk) 18:44, 2 February 2016 (UTC)
- OK thank you very much! LesVegas (talk) 19:05, 2 February 2016 (UTC)
- I was pinged. A single admin could have taken direct action when editors were wp:edit warring against consensus especially when it's based on an RFC. That doesn't require a visit to ANI, as I understand policy. What policy says that's wrong? --Elvey(t•c) 03:10, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
- OK thank you very much! LesVegas (talk) 19:05, 2 February 2016 (UTC)
- LasVegas' description of the underlying dispute is quite tendentious. The RFC was sharply divided (I didn't say "closely divided", I said "sharply") and the close (by Elvey) has never been accepted as valid by the editors who "lost" the RfC, and there have been battles ever since. A Close Review at AN was finally opened. JamesDay did not formally close the Close Review and did not frame what he did as such - he boldly suggested a solution to the conflict, which has also not been accepted. (if you look at the two diffs LasVegas provided, the the subsection at AN where he described his approach is called "A decision of sorts from a previously uninvolved administrator", and the edit note with which he implemented his suggestion read Decision from long-term and previously uninvolved administrator: re country of origin RfCs and WP:AN discussion: new wording to say how to proceed if you wish to use this factor. See WP:AN discussion" (emphasis added) It was BOLD and interesting but out-of-process.
- The issue is still wide open, and yes, both parties are still fighting about it on the talk page and via edit wars. In my view what we need is for the Close Review at AN to finish and be closed, formally and in-process. If that fails to settle it then it will have to go yet higher level of DR.

Hello Ymblanter you forgot the activate the protection for 6 months Dyan Castillejo's article no log here [24] Oripaypaykim (talk) 11:55, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
And it continues
With last round of protection at Football records in Spain having worn off two days ago, the on-going edit war has started up yet again. Considering its a small number of editors involved in this edit-war over very particular issue, might I suggest blocking the editors involved instead of protecting the page. If you look at the talk page, you'll find an uninvolved who doesn't seem to understand page protection, and who is growing increasingly frustrated with not being able to edit the page. Cheers.

Talk page vandalism
My talk page has been vandalised on five occasions ([25] [26] [27] [28] [29]) since your "block". Please protect the page as requested, instead of just blocking random IPs for block evasion, and please make it longer than three days. 4TheWynne(talk)(contribs) 08:27, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
- Sorry, this is not a way you should request a favour. Please ask another administrator. I am not under obligation to protect your talk page.--Ymblanter (talk) 08:29, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
-
- I already made a request at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection, and you went and made an edit there some two minutes later. I'm only asking because you blocked the IP only one minute after that, and you were the one who helped me before. I'm sorry, I don't mean any disrespect; I just want to stop my talk page from being vandalised. It's now been vandalised seven times since the initial block half an hour ago, and nine in total from earlier. 4TheWynne(talk)(contribs) 08:36, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
Jaz Banga
Hi there,
About 4.5 years ago I created a page about "Jaz Banga." I saw that you recently deleted it. It had not been updated in a while. Would it be acceptable to re-build the page with better or more recent citations? I'm looking for your advice and thoughts since I only occasionally create tech industry related pages.
Thank you, TrinaMark — Preceding unsigned comment added by TrinaMark (talk • contribs) 00:31, 6 February 2016 (UTC)
- I deleted it following my summary of this discussion. In principle, there is nothing wrong with recreation of the article, but the best practice is to do it in the draft namespace (and when you are ready asking users to review the article) and definitely showing notability as in WP:N.--Ymblanter (talk) 07:43, 6 February 2016 (UTC)

Ahmed Saad Al-Azhari
Hello again
I created a page for an individual known as Ahmed Saad Al-Azhari, under the username ahmedsaad.ihsaninstitute. Anyway the article was rightlfuly deleted by you, and the account was deleted by Orange Mike. I have written the article again and I hope it meets your approval.
I think there should be an article on him (previous attempts used too many references from the chaps website). I am trying not to make it promotional, however I feel there needs to be an article on him due to his media appearances and influence in combating extremism.
I also wanted to get advice from you in terms of getting the article (should it meet yours and the communities approval) among the top hits on google. On searching 'Ahmed Saad Al-Azhari', firstly I can't find it at all on google, and secondly, the top hits are promotional, therefore I think a well referenced, unbiased account should be among the top hits i.e. my article on him.
what do you think? Best wishes, Imran Imran 108 (talk) 21:46, 7 February 2016 (UTC)
- I am sorry, but this is not really my area of expertise. You may want to try a corresponding Wikiproject and ask there for help, or may be ask at the Teahouse. Concerning Google, this is not possible, the position in Google search results does not depend on what we do with the article (or if it does we do not know how it does).--Ymblanter (talk) 22:04, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for catching that
Ah, I didn't see that Volosovsky Municipal District was under Volosovsky District.
The whole "XYZ District" vs. "XYZ Municipal District" is confusing. I'm not sure if "XYZ District" is wrong (except when it isn't -- I don't know if all the raion were renamed, or what happened), or if it's just short for "XYZ Municipal District"... if the average person in the street (and, more importantly, the average newspaper/website/book editor) is continuing to use "XYZ District" then it's OK with me... unfortunately English language sources are hard to find at this level... anyway, thanks for looking over my work. I created Bolshekolpanskoe Rural Settlement as an adjunct to Rural settlement (Russia) (if you wanted to look over that one I'd consider it a kindness) sort of so I could point to it and say "Want an example of a rural settlement? Go there".
(P.S. sorry if I was testy over at Talk:Arkhangelsk... I'm not usually like that but I do get that way sometimes... it's a weakness. You won, so that's that, and congratulations.) Herostratus (talk) 09:30, 18 February 2016 (UTC)
P.P.S. I'm particularly vexed by how to render Большие Колпаны / Малые Колпаны... as always, I'm most concerned with getting fully idiomatic English, to the extent possible (and I believe it's always possible)... I just can't think of any examples of Big / Small in America... we do East XYZ and so forth... "Little Italy", yeah, but that's very informal... I guess Americans don't want to live in "Small" anything, heh... Great Barrington gave me Great Kolpany, but what to with the other one... I went with "Lesser" but that sounds odd to me.... maybe Little Kolpany... dunno. Herostratus (talk) 09:45, 18 February 2016 (UTC)

- Thank you for your work and erudition. If Ezhiki wishes to make a ruling regarding XYZ District vs. XYZ Municipal District (which could entail the renaming of many articles) I will support whatever he says. Also it's entirely possible I got stuff wrong at either this article or Rural settlement (Russia) and any corrections would be welcome (as is true of all my efforts, of course). Herostratus (talk) 15:47, 18 February 2016 (UTC)

Здраствуйте уважаемый Ymblanter. Одна проблема есть, но может быть я на английском не очень хорошо буду объяснить, поэтому Вам пишу. Я думаю, что участники user:El-ßäbrega и user:Harut111 это разные участники, так как участника El-ßäbrega почти все знают в лицо, его зовут Норайр. Его для армянской Википедии проверили ЧЮ на мете m:Steward requests/Checkuser/2015-01#1221nor@hy.wikipedia в начале 2015 года, там нашли много его учеток, но Harut111 не был в этом списке, а он был активен в это время в армянской Википедии.

Veriko Anjaparidze
I'm not sure what's disruptive about my edits to this page or why including her full name is contrary to WP:LEDE as you suggested. Quite the opposite, WP:LEDE specifically states: While a commonly recognisable form of name will be used as the title of biographical articles, fuller forms of name may be used in the introduction to the lead. For instance, in the article Paul McCartney, the text of the lead begins: "Sir James Paul McCartney"... I think the problem is that you have developed an antagonistic relationship with me from day one and you Just Don't Like It that I edited a page that you created. Since you're an administrator and so fond of wiki rules, perhaps you should consult WP:OWN.--Damianmx (talk) 21:14, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
- I have not edit warred over this article, in fact, it is ironic that you're raising this issue considering that you yourself have an ANI lodged against you by another user precisely for editwarring. My assertion that you operate on WP:IJUSTDONTLIKEIT looks increasingly correct but you think that because you're an administrator you can talk down on me for one thing and yet get away with the same.--Damianmx (talk) 21:35, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

Ivlianovna is indeed a Russian spelling but that's not what I wrote is it? I wrote Ivlianes asuli, which is Georgian for Ivlianovna. You said you didn't mind the "Iberized" Georgian version, yet through your revert you effectively removed the Georgian spelling and reinstated Ivlianovna.--Damianmx (talk) 21:50, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

- I am sorry that I have to repeat it for the third time. I am not going to do it for the fourth time, please read carefully. I am fine with replacing Ivlianovna with Ivlianes asuli, though it is not my preference. I am not fine with starting the lede with Vera Ivlianes asuli, because per WP:LEDE it should start with Veriko.--Ymblanter (talk) 22:03, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

- And let me also once again repeat WP:LEDE which specifically states: While a commonly recognisable form of name will be used as the title of biographical articles, fuller forms of name may be used in the introduction to the lead. For instance, in the article Paul McCartney, the text of the lead begins: "Sir James Paul McCartney"... In other words, the Article Title will follow the most common name, but the introduction to the lede can and may contain a fuller name, which is what I inserted. --Damianmx (talk) 22:11, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
Your closure of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mumiy Troll
I cannot see any consensus for this article to be closed as "keep". Your closure looks like a supervote to me. While I agree that the article should be kept, it would be more appropriate for you to comment on the discussion to explain your rationale why this should be kept, instead of closing it in this state. sst✈(conjugate) 00:49, 24 February 2016 (UTC)
- I closed it under understanding that participation in the final of the Eurovision Song Contest makes the group notable according to WP:NMUSIC, and, since it was pointed out in the comments, I closed the discussion (similarly to like if a subject of the AfD nominated article suddenly is discovered a member of the parliament, the discussion should be closed as keep even if it is all-delete votes). Now, looking at the policy, I see that it can be read differently, and I would not object reopening the discussion - though, to be honest, I do not see a single chance how it could be closed differently from keep. The band is simply notable, with thousands independent sources existing even apart from the Eurovision.--Ymblanter (talk) 06:31, 24 February 2016 (UTC)
Your deletion of WIP
Please see the following: Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/World_Institute_of_Pain. I originally created the article and actually can't recall how or why the RfD managed to slip past me but it doesn't matter at this point. The following link is a RS that helps confirm World Institute of Pain's notability, [31] as does their journal, Pain Practice, which is a peer-reviewed medical journal with an impact factor published by John Wiley & Sons on behalf of WIP, further making it a clear pass of WP:NJOURNALS. In summary, the WIP is the sponsor of a notable journal, world conferences, symposia, and workshops, I don't see how it would not be considered a notable scientific institution; therefore, worthy of an article. Since you were the acting admin who originally deleted that article, I would very much appreciate your approval to recreate it. Thank you in advance. Atsme📞📧 15:41, 24 February 2016 (UTC)

DGG ( talk ) 16:37, 26 February 2016 (UTC)Vladimir Putin
I am looking around for one or more experienced editors who might have an interest in the Putin article. As an admin I've received some complaints about the editing climate there. A glance at the talk page suggests incompetent dispute resolution. In the sense that, if the people had any patience, they might be able to come up with well-formed RfCs. That kind of thing. Russian speakers might have additional insight, and I know you've dealt with messy disputes as an admin. My contribution so far is that I banned one editor from the page under DS per a complaint at WP:AN3. Any thoughts about how best to handle this? If there is no hope of getting any cooperation from the most active editors then a month or more of full protection might be considered. One person suggested Arbcom but I consider this to be regular nuts-and-bolts admin work, unless people are too burned out. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 03:52, 27 February 2016 (UTC)
- I will have a look on what is going on in the article and come back here, hopefully today.--Ymblanter (talk) 07:48, 27 February 2016 (UTC)
- @EdJohnston:, I just had a look. This is a situation which became typical for Russian and Ukrainian topic recently (see e.g. RT (TV channel) or Donetsk People Republic. There are essentially two parties, both consisting of experienced long-time users. (Occasionlly, new users show up; most of them are paid trolls and should be blocked as soon as possible, others are sometimes unfamiliar with our policies and are only interested to get THe TRUTH into the articles). Pro-Ukrainian (or anti-Russian, call them whatever you like) group is currently bigger and usually gets their way in most articles. Middle ground is usually ignored. Both groups claim the article is biased. If an article is protected at their version, they usually say this is a result of consensus; if it is protected at the opposite version they are somehow willing to discuss. 3RR is avoided by team-reverting. There is no good universal solution here. Possibly the article should be full-protected long-term (a month or smth), and the users should be forced to discuss at the talk page, preferably via well-formulated RfC (or series of those). There are two problems with this solution. First, they would need a moderator (for example, someone from DRN folks) who would clerk the RfC (help to formulate it, remove personal attacks etc). This is I believe solvable with some negociations. However, the RfC itself should have people outside the dispute, and this is a problem, since uninvolved users usually have no interest in going to the ethnic disputes, where one typically needs some background just to understand what the sides are talking about. And I do not have any good idea where all these uninvolved users would come from. May be if we are talking just about one RfC, it can be advertised at village pump(s). No, if RfC does not help or impossible to organize, DRN is another option, but I have seen DRN effectively derailed by the "winning" side who is not interesting in listening to the minority since they have their hand anyway. For arbitration enforcement or even arbcom I do not see much of a role here, if there are some users which are particularly disruptive they were most ikely already alerted of the existence of ARBEE sanctions, and some of them previously were sanctioned or even mentioned in the ARBEE itself, so that they can be immediately banned from the page without Arbcom. Sorry do not see better solutions at the moment.--Ymblanter (talk) 10:02, 28 February 2016 (UTC)

WP:RELIST
Re Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ryan Driller (2nd nomination), WP:RELIST is quite clear: "if at the end of the initial seven-day period, the discussion has only a few participants (including the nominator), and/or it seems to be lacking arguments based on policy, it may be appropriate for the closer to relist it".
The above discussion is open from a month now, had over a dozen participants, four of them after the last relisting, and it is full of policy and gidelines-based arguments (more from one side than from the other, actually). I am involved as I voted there, but your relisting looks very inappropriate if not bizarre and suspect, there is no reason to relist a deletion discussion plenty of comments A FOURTH TIME and keep it open more than a month, except if the relistener does not like the current consensus and hopes to have a different one (trust me, I hate to assume bad faith, but that's what your actions here suggest). Please revert the relisting and let's have a close, one month is time enough. --Cavarrone 07:17, 12 March 2016 (UTC)

- Thanks for dimonstrating my point. If you wanted me and others not assuming bad faith, you were simply supposed to explain WHY you relisted a one mounth old AfD with a clear consensus and with over a dozen comments for a fourth time, and you have not. I was extra-polite given your obvious violation of our deletion process, and receiving a "go away" response is just the proof of YOUR bad faith. You are not going to discuss anything with me because you have no suitable justifications, period. I have no time for now to scrutinize your past actions in this area, but it's better you stay away from AfDs, as long as you have not the competence, good faith and requested willingness to explain your actions.

Putin is trying to destroy Western countries by inundating them with refugees from Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Syria, Ukraine and others which he is now bombing and planning to bomb in the future. He is building up and deploying nuclear intercontinental ballistic missiles, perhaps, to bomb the United States.

- I clearly mentioned my reasoning to the editor. I CLEARLY told the editor to explain in the talk page. But he refused to do so. Instead he went to name calling. You clearly read it, but you decided to take a partisan and unethical position by taking a side on a dispute, after you clearly read what was happening. You are not maintaining good ethics.

Hi, Ymblanter,
You blocked this editor for "block evasion" and included a link to an edit from 2015 that mentions a different IP editor. Can you tell me which blocked editor you believe IP24 is and the basis for your suspicions? Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 20:41, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
- I included this link in the blocking rationale. Additionally, they made three reverts in India-Iran relations.--Ymblanter (talk) 20:45, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
- Oh, I see, this is not what you asked. The edit I referenced is identical to the four edits IP made today.--Ymblanter (talk) 20:54, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
- So you believe that this IP editor is a sock of Bladesmulti? Because LouisAragon who he was warring with (who also made three reverts) did not believe it was the same editor (User_talk:Andrevan#India.E2.80.93Iran_relations). Can we ask a checkuser to check? Pinging @DoRD:. Because if it is Bladesmulti, a longer block is warranted, if not, well it's a case of mistaken identity. Liz Read! Talk! 21:02, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
- I have no problem with checking, though even if this is not a sock, edit-warring restoring four times a long edit previously rejected means a block in my book.--Ymblanter (talk) 21:09, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
- @Liz: Given what I remember about OccultZone's location - thousands of miles from New Jersey - it seems unlikely that this IP is him. —DoRD (talk) 21:36, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks DoRD. Liz, do you want me to reblock them for edit-warring?--Ymblanter (talk) 21:42, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
- Well, I think that would be a good idea, just to establish the grounds for the block (which I hope you will shorten to 24 hours). I know that the IP shouldn't have added so much content without a talk page discussion but LouisAragon's response wasn't stellar either, they both edit-warred. I don't know why the edits, over a year apart, were so similar but there seems to be a fundamental difference of opinion on these "History of X" articles about how much history is covered in the article.
- I appreciate you reconsidering your block. Liz Read! Talk! 21:51, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks DoRD. Liz, do you want me to reblock them for edit-warring?--Ymblanter (talk) 21:42, 18 March 2016 (UTC)

Ymblanter, @DoRD:, @Liz:, I also don't necessarily think that the IP is directly connected to Bladesmulti, even though he reinstated a very peculiar edit of him and for the fact that its known that Bladesmulti very occasionaly hops in. What I however do strongly believe and am sure of (99%) is that the edit-warring/disruptive IP whom Ymblanter has blocked,[32] is the exact same WP:SPA IP hopper whos warring and ignoring BRD on the History of Iran page.[33]-[34]-[35].
- All IP's in question are from New Yersey, USA;[36]-[37]-[38]-[39]
- All IP's use the exact same types of edit summaries;[40]-[41]
- All IP's dont have any remote issue with edit warring/violating 3RR;[42]-[43]-[44]-[45]-[46]-[47]-[48]-[49]
- The IP's made the edits in a very rapid succession of each other ; 14:48 - IP 2600:1001:b12d:24c8:1946:8b25:7e87:d3fa - 15:18, IP 24.157.56.12 - 18:16 24.157.56.12 - 18:42 IP 2600:1001:b12d:24c8:1946:8b25:7e87:d3fa - 19:00 IP 24.157.56.12 - 19:07 IP 24.157.56.12 - 19:33 IP 2600:1001:b12d:24c8:1946:8b25:7e87:d3fa - 19:40 IP 2600:1001:b12d:24c8:1946:8b25:7e87:d3fa
- All IP's have roughly the same editorial interests.
Even if they're unrelated to Bladesmulti/Occultzone, this is not just a case of violating 3RR or edit warring, but also disruptive IP hopping/socking.
Furthermore, I believe that these other recently used IP's, who are also all from New Jersey, with the exact same interests and with the same type of edits/edit summaries, are also used by this user in question.[50]-[51]-[52] A range block could perhaps be helpful to deal with this. There's definetely something more going on here, and it should be digged out and dealt with accordingly. Look furthermore at their revision history how it further perfectly syncs with the other linked IP's. - LouisAragon (talk) 23:26, 18 March 2016 (UTC)

Hi! This is related to this incident Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/IncidentArchive916#File_upload_issues. Another User:Manzoor2015 with similar habits is editing the same scope of articles. There is also a glaring WP:COMPETENCY issue. An article named Zirayats was created with the only content "Ziyarats is the plural form of Ziyarat." (I am not even look at the spelling mistake). Files (which are clearly copied) are being uploaded again. I have a feeling that this is the same user and it would be good to block him. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 14:02, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

- I saw the edits of User:Manzoor2015, and it might be the same user, but the account is one month old (so that it was clearly registered before the block, and not all edits are similar. I am kind of hesitant, may be an SPI should be filed. If the files were reuploaded though I am prepared to block the uploader.--Ymblanter (talk) 14:11, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
- Actually, the User:Manzoor2015 account is a year old. However, prior to editing on 18 March 2016 (after the block), the last edit was on 5 April 2015. Anyway, the account has uploaded files like [53] and [54] which are clearly copyrighted. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 14:16, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

Self-reverted AfD closure
After closing Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Uncrowned (as "delete"), I noticed that you had previously closed it (as "no consensus") and then reverted your closure. I suppose you had your reasons, but since my closure led to the deletion of the Jack Andrad article, which you had redirected to the band's article as part of carrying out your closure, I thought I'd mention the matter here. Deor (talk) 15:42, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

How can you delete a minor edit in less than one minute? Big Brother does not even begin to compare with you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.216.154.188 (talk) 20:02, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
You certainly revert edits faster than you answer mail! Since my last edit I read enough of the article to see that it is pure propaganda. One example: in the fourth paragraph of the section, "Detention and trial in Russia" it is stated that "During her long trial in Russia, Savchenko has been held in a cage". Of course, this is a pure lie. Only the box in court is encased in glass, and this is not a special treatment reserved to her. If you are happy with such misinformation, be prepared to see less and less people trust you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.216.154.188 (talk) 21:11, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

- Quotation marks are not POV. If she really has been "held in a cage" (ouside of court), please provide solid reference. If it turns out to be true, I will certainly apologize.

- I do not see how the article says she was held in a cage outside of the court. It say she was held in cage in court, like a common criminal, despite a plea to treat her differently. Quotation marks may be (and in this case certainly are) POV. If I say you are brilliant I likely mean that. If I say you are "brilliant" I likely mean you are a stupid idiot.--Ymblanter (talk) 22:00, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
- "Brilliant". However, you are certainly aware that the legality or illegality of her detention is disputed and, in such cases, quotation marks are needed (unless Wikipedia itself claims that her detention is illegal; which would be a breach of neutrality). Furthermore, how can you fail to see that a statement such as "During her long trial in Russia, Savchenko has been held in a cage" is not neutral? Not to say intentionally misleading. By the way, no one is a "common criminal" before being sentenced by a court. 82.216.154.188 (talk) 23:22, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

Hi please explain me why my version is not good for you? I'm just trying to make it with neutral point of view! and i have added refils of NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF HISTORY OF UKRAINE so this sources IS reliable just like David.moreno72 wanted — Preceding unsigned comment added by Olexis (talk • contribs) 16:42, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
- I do not think adding Ukrainian sources would ever make the article closer to neutrality, only further away from it. But, in any case, please start the discussion at the talk page of the article. As a matter of fact, you replaced a couple of sourced statements to ones with opposite meaning; this requires a discussion.--Ymblanter (talk) 16:47, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
Yes i replaced one source with another because there is only that "another" meaning at the beginning!
Excuse me but there is pro-russian source [1] made by NATALIYA VASILYEVA (russian giornalist) so why i can't put some of ukranian sources to make it more closer to neutrality?? Yes this requires a discussion because this article offends me and some of ukrainians [2] That's why i decided to change it. But if you read this "Material such as an article, book, monograph, or research paper that has been vetted by the scholarly community is regarded as reliable, where the material has been published in reputable peer-reviewed sources or by well-regarded academic presses." so you cant say that institute of history of Ukraine isn't RELIABLE source. By the way if you read closely this article you will see that source i used "www.history.org.ua/" is already linked so you cant say that "not make it more neutrality".
SO please explain me why you change my version? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Olexis (talk • contribs) 19:22, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
I understand that you are Russian and you change all articles that are without russian opinion,(just see Nadiya_Savchenko, Putin_khuilo! and another articles )

Duplekita
Your close of the deletion discussion was completely reasonable and appropriate. But, there is an issue with Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Duplekita that isn't obvious: The content at Duplekita was moved from User:Trekie9001/Duplekita under the edit summary "stale draft that appears notable, covered by cbc in Canada" (not by the author whose namespace in which it resided). Per the guideline about such moves WP:STALEDRAFT "If suitable for mainspace, move to mainspace". If the content gets nominated for deletion and subsequently deleted, it clearly wasn't suitable for the mainspace. The user who moved the page actually !voted "Delete per nom, thanks for the good analysis" in the discussion (this among other things leads me to further question their move of the page). MfD would have been the proper forum for a deletion discussion as their move was inappropriate. AfD has higher standards than MfD, as they govern different namespaces, and what content can exist in each namespace varies per policies and guidelines.
So, that leads to my request, would you restore the content to User:Trekie9001/Duplekita or the draft namespace? Best Regards,—Godsy(TALKCONT) 20:39, 2 April 2016 (UTC)
- No problem, but why do you want it restored to the userspace of an apparently uninvolved user?--Ymblanter (talk) 20:44, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

Would you mind offering your opinion regarding this at the ANI discussion? It seems like the concern was entirely about the location and basis for the discussion and there is seemingly no interest in the actual work on it. Was that your intention with restoring it, that the AFD itself was incorrect or was it for the purpose of hopefully seeing something being worked on? -- Ricky81682 (talk) 09:25, 3 April 2016 (UTC)

- I restored it under understanding that someone would work on the draft, otherwise it does not make sense.--Ymblanter (talk) 09:29, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
- If you don't mind, then, if the purpose was entirely about disputing the move that brought about the AFD and the last discussion about that resulted in no admin action, is this approaching WP:POINT? I think we need to figure this out as there were multiple other drafts moved and deleted for CSD violations and so on. I don't see the point in having those restored if the goal is to put them all back into the userspaces of long inactive users, especially since non-AFC drafts have no set time period either so the MFD debate that will follow if there is no activity on the page will be like they are now. And yes I'm aware that nobody should have to debate the metaphysical debates that occur at MFD unless they absolutely have to but this is becoming the standard. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 09:37, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
- Be advised that the above comment is suggestive, and encompasses the opinion of Ricky81682. This is a very complex matter with truckloads of information that would have to be considered (multiple AN/I sections have been opened related to this situation).—Godsy(TALKCONT) 09:47, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
- I am not interested in other drafts. I am closing several hundred AfDs per year, mostly as delete. For about 5%, I subsequently get requests for restoration in the user/draft space. I always do this. If there is no intention to work on the draft, it should be deleted, we have a CSD criterion for this. It can always be restored later.--Ymblanter (talk) 10:07, 3 April 2016 (UTC)

Several reasons - 1) this is a very thorny article that is sucking up a lot of volunteer time and we should have a very thorough discussion; 2) DGG's input would be very valuable here and he has not weighed in yet; 3) The main advocate for EGS was working out their COI issues since before the AfD opened and has only just joined the discussion (and there is an open ANI on that person that may draw yet more eyes to the AfD). Thanks again. Jytdog (talk) 07:23, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
The Spook House
Yaroslav, could you restore the deleted edits? I attempted to contact the person who deleted the plot section, but she has not deigned to reply. --Ghirla-трёп- 20:11, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
- This seems to be a copyright issue, and I can just easily lose my mop over it. It is better to go in an open way: I guess WT:Copyright problems would be a reasonable step.--Ymblanter (talk) 20:24, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
- Sorry for not replying sooner. The material was published in 1927, it still could be under copyright. The Wikisource page says the copyright was never renewed, but I don't know how they determined that. — Diannaa (talk) 22:29, 8 April 2016 (UTC)

Donetsk bus shelling incident
Hello. You have made a page protection for Donetsk bus shelling incident. User RGloucester take an advantage over IP users using page protection request. Note, it was no any discussion (!) related to this article (neither merging nor deletion). User merged it without consensus. Many other users reverted this merging during the year, see [56] [57] [58]. Also user RGloucester violated 3-revert rule many times. The discussion about merging should start first. Note, four interwikies are present with big articles in ru-wiki and uk-wiki for this page wiht many sources in it. Please restore the article without redirecting before unconsensus merging. 46.211.253.73 (talk) 17:55, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
- And you have not noticed that your edits were reverted over ten times, right? Just continued to restore the text like if nothing happened? And only came here because you technically can not restore it any more, right? Sorry to say, may be you should start a talk page discussion now. Otherwise, you are screwed.--Ymblanter (talk) 20:15, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
Anita Saarkesian
Hi, I'm new to Wikipedia and I made an unreferenced edit to the Anita Saarkesian page which was removed. Following this I retrieved a citation from forbes.com and was about to repost my initial edit with the addition of the citation but the edit function on the page has been disabled. I'd just like to query why? And did it have anything to do with me?
The citation I will post is for this article: http://www.forbes.com/sites/erikkain/2015/01/24/anita-sarkeesian-releases-kickstarter-breakdown-raised-440000-in-2014/#5b2ea86b238c
Best wishes,

Sara Ali Khan deletion close
Three keep votes, two from very experienced editors, one userfy/draft, no deletes other than nom. I can't see anything resembling a consensus to delete. Sorry, but this is a supervote and should be rescinded. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo). Treated like dirt by administrators since 2006. (talk) 17:53, 17 April 2016 (UTC)

- Reopened. I am not sure what happened, I must have completely misread the discussion.--Ymblanter (talk) 17:59, 17 April 2016 (UTC)

Stop threatening.
Hello! I'm here to remind you that you can't threaten other people without a good reasoning. As a admin you should know that. Ladaherra (talk) 15:31, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
