Orphaned references in Media of Ukraine
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Media of Ukraine's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "BBC140312": From Media portrayal of the Ukrainian crisis:  From Television in Ukraine:  

Reference named "EJC": From Media of Russia: Natalya Krasnoboka, Russia, EJC Media Landscapes, circa 2010 From Media of Greece: Maria Kontochristou and Nagia Mentzi, Greece, Media Landscapes, European Journalism Centre, 2010 From Media of Slovenia: Marko Milosavljević and Igor Vobič, Slovenia, EJC Press Landscapes (circa 2009) From Media of Serbia: Jovanka Matic and Larisa Rankovic, "Serbia", EJC Media Landscapes From Media of Belarus: Elena Kononova, Belarus, EJC Media Landscapes, circa 2010</li> <li>From Media of Turkey: Ruken Barış, Turkey, EJC Media Landscapes, circa 2010</li> <li>From Media of Croatia: Nada Buric, Croatia, EJC Media Landscapes (no date)</li> <li>From Media of Bosnia and Herzegovina: Tarik Jusić, "Bosnia and Herzegovina", EJC Media Landscapes</li> </ul>

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 00:03, 13 February 2016 (UTC)

Media ownership
My edit was rollbacked, without any explanation in my user talk. I've read the discussion between the two of you and I've understood that my edit was considered badly sourced and POV, but could you be more specific? It seems to me that everything was referenced, that sources I've used are reliable, and that NPOV was respected. But obviously if you point me to the problems I will try to fix them. --Niccolò Caranti (OBC) (talk) 08:02, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi, . I'll gladly help out, but please wait for a day or so as I'm flat out IRL. There were portions that were relevant and reasonably well sourced, but the majority was not from reliable sources. If I don't get back to you by Wednesday, please ping me again as a reminder. Cheers! --Iryna Harpy (talk) 08:57, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks ! In the meantime I went through the sources I've used and cited (36-47 here) and -to be honest- I have difficulties identifying a single unreliable one. They are:
 * Freedom House
 * Institute of Mass Information (a Ukrainian partner of Freedom House and Reporters Without Borders)
 * an article by Natalya Ryabinska (a visiting professor at the Collegium Civitas). Maybe there is a misunderstanding here: I've linked the article on Academia.edu but it was published on Problems of Post-Communism, a peer-reviewed academic journal
 * a report commissioned by RNW Media to The Hague Centre for Strategic Studies
 * a report of then UN Special Rapporteur on the right to freedom of opinion and expression, Ambeyi Ligabo
 * European Journalism Observatory
 * Reporters Without Borders
 * Media Ownership Monitor Ukraine (a website by Reporters Without Borders and the Institute of Mass Information)
 * Konrad Adenauer Foundation
 * Let me know! --Niccolò Caranti (OBC) (talk) 09:16, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
 * This is the reminder you asked for! :) Please let me know which sources you deem not reliable and why, or I will just insert the text back per WP:SILENCE. --Niccolò Caranti (OBC) (talk) 07:40, 22 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Apologies for the tardiness in responding (I'm still extremely busy IRL). Ultimately, after having checked through the sources, they are, indeed, RS. Please feel free to restore your content. I will note, however, that it needs a little tweaking as it is low on attribution... but, then, the entire article is problematic in that sense. I'm happy to fill out the references using the doi, etc. Cheers! --Iryna Harpy (talk) 19:40, 24 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I've re-inserted the section, with some little additions. --Niccolò Caranti (OBC) (talk) 08:17, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
 * To be honest, my inclination is towards the bulk of the additional content belonging in the Freedom of the press in Ukraine article, with a summary included in this article. You may wish to take a look and make adjustments accordingly as I'm not currently in a position to focus on it. If I do reshuffle the content at a later date, I'll ping you for your input. Cheers! --Iryna Harpy (talk) 19:30, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
 * I've added a main with link to Freedom of the press in Ukraine in Media_of_Ukraine. However I agree with you that the bulk of "Transparency" and "Concentration" of media ownership should probably stay in the same article. I'm quite neutral over which article should they stay, though. --Niccolò Caranti (OBC) (talk) 08:31, 27 March 2017 (UTC)
 * I suspect that they're more relevant to 'Freedom of the press', but overlap enough for it not to be urgent in any sense. The press freedom article is in worse shape than this one, so I'm not going to lose sleep over retaining the content here until I've found time to organise that article logically. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 04:56, 31 March 2017 (UTC)
