POV edits in articles on Crimea
Could you please stop waste our time adding POV wording to Crimean articles? None of your edits has been appropriate, I reverted all of them, and what you want to say is already in the articles written in neutral language. Thank you for understanding.--Ymblanter (talk) 02:31, 6 April 2018 (UTC)

Ymblanter: Unfortunately you present your subjective opinion as "accepted point of view" while your edits are purely POV. You revert all edits that correctly show status of Crimea as an occupied part of Ukraine. Instead, you, Ymblanter, insist that Crimea is a part of Russia. International law defines Crimea an integral part of Ukraine and Wikipedia should not spread any other positions.

Please do not alter quotations. In this set of edits you altered a quotation from
 * "Crimea was formally absorbed into Russia on 18 March, to international condemnation, after unidentified gunmen took over the peninsula."

To:
 * "Crimea was formally absorbed into Russia on 18 March, to international condemnation, after Russian troops took over the peninsula."

I checked the source. I do not know why Britain's communist-dominated BBC wrote what they did. But they did.-- Toddy1 (talk) 04:41, 6 April 2018 (UTC)

Please understand that changing the file names of reference to images stops things working correctly. In this set of edits you altered a filename from "Outline Map of Crimea in Russia (vector).svg" to "Outline Map of Crimea (vector).svg". This is a bit stupid. You did not check that there was a file called "Outline Map of Crimea (vector).svg"!-- Toddy1 (talk) 04:41, 6 April 2018 (UTC)

Please do not delete the Russian language names for places in the Ukraine, as you did here. Just under half the people in the Ukraine speak Russian as their first language. The idea that only the Ukrainian-language is valid is a fantasy of neo-Nazis from Lvov and their foreign supporters.-- Toddy1 (talk) 04:41, 6 April 2018 (UTC)

The article you edited uses Template:Infobox Russian federal subject. One of your changes was to change a parameter name from "established_date =" to "Annexed_date =". There is no "Annexed_date =" parameter in that template, so your edit did not work. Next time please check. Please read Competence is required. You are trying to do the right thing, and making a mess of it.-- Toddy1 (talk) 04:41, 6 April 2018 (UTC)
 * To be honest, I do not see any right thing here. The articles have been seen by quite a lot of people, and literally every word there is a result of some compromise, many things have been thoroughly discussed. An attempt to add POV wording (by either side) is not going to help here.--Ymblanter (talk) 06:31, 6 April 2018 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Autonomous Republic of Crimea, you may be blocked from editing.  Eve rgr een Fir  (talk) 12:59, 6 April 2018 (UTC)
 * If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
 * If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
 * If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.
 * , the IP were actually right in this particular case (adding the Ukrainian flag to Autonomous Republic of Crimea, it was a result of POV pushing from the opposite side which I previously overlooked. All their other edits are wither not constructive, or outright disruptive. If they continnue, they will be presented to ANI and blocked.--Ymblanter (talk) 13:47, 6 April 2018 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement. Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.'' Please read WP:Righting Great Wrongs and discuss your proposed changes on the article's talk page. Also, please refrain from casting aspersions on your fellow editors, such as your edit summary saying "I am sure that, as in the case with 2016 US elections, there are many paid agents of the Russian Federation to swing any discussion held here." A central pillar of Wikipedia is WP:Assuming good faith from other editors and treating each other with respect. Thank you for your attention, and welcome to Wikipedia.'' — JFG talk 17:42, 6 April 2018 (UTC)
 * 1) Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to Annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation. L293D (☎ • ✎) 02:03, 7 April 2018 (UTC)

Anonymous users from this IP address have been blocked from editing for a period of 31 hours for persistently making disruptive edits. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:.

Crimea related pages are controlled by Russian trolls. Look at one of the comments to my edits from Toddy1: "The idea that only the Ukrainian-language is valid is a fantasy of neo-Nazis from Lvov and their foreign supporters.-- Toddy1 (talk)". This is a typical Kremlin's rhetoric. Unfortunately, Wikipedia became a tool that spreads Putin/Kremlin propaganda... Toddy1 invents the argument about Ukrainian language, then adds neo-Nazis accusation, then mentions 'foreign supporters'. All statements have nothing to do with my edits, but apparently that's how you guys are taught by your Russian government supervisors. Again, it is obvious that Crimea Wikipedia pages are under control of the Russian government agents directly or indirectly via proxies.

Why you have problems doing the right thing in the wrong way
The source you wanted to use was clearly labelled as an opinion piece. There is a Wikipedia policy that relates to these: WP:NEWSORG. This says: "Editorial commentary, analysis and opinion pieces, whether written by the editors of the publication (editorials) or outside authors (op-eds) are reliable primary sources for statements attributed to that editor or author, but are rarely reliable for statements of fact."

This was why your reference was not allowed.-- Toddy1 (talk) 17:40, 7 April 2018 (UTC)

Toddy1: after your biased and baseless neo-Nazi accusations (above) all your suggestions are meaningless and ill-intended.

Edit warring
Your recent editing history at Republic of Crimea shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.-- Toddy1 (talk) 18:16, 8 April 2018 (UTC)

RickinBaltimore: How can you be so sure? Wikileaks did not serve Russian interests? You did not block people for merely expressing some criticism of how Wikipedia conducts business by allowing Russian trolls fully control Crimea pages? It seems to me you willingly help to spread Russian propaganda. Why do you do that? What is your interest there?
