Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes ( ~ ).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 12:59, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Template:CategoryYearTOC2
A tag has been placed on Template:CategoryYearTOC2 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.

If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it is substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes (&lt;noinclude>&#123;{transclusionless}}&lt;/noinclude>).

Thanks. --MZMcBride (talk) 21:17, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Konyok2.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Konyok2.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Project FMF (talk) 22:19, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Image:Adventuregamers.png
I have tagged Image:Adventuregamers.png as no rationale, because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page. Some examples can be found at Use rationale examples. Please also consider using or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags/Non-free. Thank you.

List of animated feature-length films

 * I'm not sure what happened there, but given my contribution history it is a bit of a stretch to call me a vandal. I suggest you assume good faith and maybe read up on personal histories before throwing around insults.  It was a mistake - I've changed it to remove only the hoax entries. JuJube (talk) 17:40, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Also read WP:DTTR. JuJube (talk) 17:48, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I was wondering what was going on, since you reverted the article to its state before January 5, 2007. How does that happen? Anyway... the templates weren't meant to be insulting to your work as a whole and were meant to object to that particular edit only. I simply didn't (and don't) understand how such a huge change to an article can be done accidentally. Perhaps you're using an editing program that I'm not aware of in which that mistake is easily made?
 * Also, thanks for pointing me to WP:DTTR, I was not aware of it. Esn (talk) 17:58, 1 April 2008 (UTC)


 * As I said, it was an accident. Another user was pointing me to the edit history of the hoaxmonger  to be specific), and I accidentally reverted based on an old revision in that history. JuJube (talk) 18:00, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Alright, understood. I probably flied off the handle a bit myself.  Is all good. ^_^ JuJube (talk) 18:07, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Achmed1.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Achmed1.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check


 * That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
 * That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Hi Esn, it's Philip from foolip.org. I'm eventually going to shut down my wiki, so I've uploaded all subtitles to http://www.archive.org/details/princess_iron_fan Could you check if your Russian subtitles are working as they should?

 * Understood, thanks. Though it would have been nice if you had mentioned the June 2010 release date in the article for the "Thor" film; I thought you had confused two different films.  "Thor (2010 animated film)" should do nicely for the Icelandic one. Esn (talk) 22:40, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Image:Lost World 1925 Still 01.jpg
A tag has been placed on Image:Lost World 1925 Still 01.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I8 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is available as a bit-for-bit identical copy on the Wikimedia Commons under the same name, or all references to the image on Wikipedia have been updated to point to the title used at Commons.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on  explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. BJ Talk 12:42, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Ultimateshowdown.gif)
Thanks for uploading Image:Ultimateshowdown.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

SnoutBusters Hoax!?
While it is not a known Hoax, I'll admit what i've written is original research, but its sure as heck not a hoax started by me. I "saw it somewhere," thinking back, it may have been a poor choice to base an article around it. I believe I started the article as a hope that a few other editors could pull up some information on it. CindyAbout /T/P/C/ 03:06, 8 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Well, you're not giving me much to go on. How can anyone expand it when there is no place to start searching? There is no verifiable information in the article, not even vague rumours on an obscure site... Esn (talk) 03:11, 8 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Your right, little information is available, flag for deletion and remake when more information is available. CindyAbout /T/P/C/ 03:18, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

I found this on a Google-cached version of this page (that's you posting, I assume):

"SnoutBusters is a movie planned to be made in russia. The information gathered about the movie was taken from a source that has since deleted the information, do we:

* Remove the article. * Find a new source. * Remove uncited claims. * Leave it.

 * Ok, but what is this then? Esn (talk) 00:18, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Relevant section:
 * ВКО объединяет т. н. «реестровых» казаков, то есть состоящих на государственной службе в соответствии с Федеральным законом от 05 декабря 2005 г. N 154-ФЗ «О государственной службе российского казачества», а его Устав утверждён Указом Президента РФ от 17 июня 1997 г. № 612.
 * Esn (talk) 00:20, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, as you can read, it is a law establishing the modalities of "state service" for "cossack societies". The law specifies the modalities under which federal, regional and municipal branches of power can conclude "service agreements" with the cossacks and the specifics of such agreements. It does not establish an autonomous Cossack region within Russia, nor does it give the Cossacks self-rule. I have not fully understood the exact implications of the law, as I'd need to see examples of its implementations and not just its text, but I believe that the "registered" (thus реестровые) cossacks have some special arrangements for military service, as well as having the right to assist law enforcement authorities and such.

Image source problem with Image:Wonderfullgrimm.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Wonderfullgrimm.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 17:03, 13 September 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 17:03, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for Image:Wonderfullgrimm.jpg
Thank you for uploading Image:Wonderfullgrimm.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 17:04, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

The List of package films had only 2 edits, neither by you. It looks like you edited List of animated package films, which is alive and well and probably doesn't need to be sent to AfD unless you think so. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 17:43, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks, you are in fact correct. Sorry for bothering you with this misunderstanding. Esn (talk) 00:47, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
 * No wait, I suspect what actually happened is a certain user moved the article to "list of animated package films". A redirect should perhaps be added, considering that a number of redlinks now go to the deleted page. Esn (talk) 00:51, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with File:Welcome1986.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Welcome1986.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check


 * That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
 * That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

South African general election, 2009
This addition you made has me somewhat puzzled. The source doesn't seem to say that. Specifically, there is one mention that the PAC considered a single police action to be unfair – but no mention of such complaints by the DA and Cope. Also, the article does not put the allegation that the Youth League "does the dirty business" in the mouths of the opposition. Could you perhaps have a look at that again? 9Nak (talk) 09:54, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I apologize if I made a mistake - I may not have read the article correctly. In normal circumstances I would try to fix my error, but this week and the following one are very busy for me, so I'm not sure I'll get the chance. Please change the article in whatever way you think is best, and I'll take another look at it in a week or two... Esn (talk) 23:17, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits, such as those you made to David Barstow. If you vandalize Wikipedia again, you will be blocked from editing. I have rewritten your recent contrib, and explained that at talk:David Barstow. If i am missing something here, please inform me promptly why you should not be blocked for vandalistic editing, pending the start of an RFC on your long-term status, for having grossly falsified the substance of what you attributed to the source that you cited. --Jerzy•t 00:15, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Please assume good faith next time. My edit was basically correct. Note in the article, "By whom were these "ties to companies" undisclosed and for whom did these deeply conflicted retired generals pose as "analysts"? ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN and Fox -- the very companies that have simply suppressed the story from their viewers. ". I don't mind that you changed the wording a bit to use less controversial language, but your strong-arm scare tactics are neither appreciated nor warranted. Esn (talk) 00:50, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
 * In hindsight, the previous wording was indeed a synthesis of information. But as far as I can tell, synthesis is not considered vandalism on Wikipedia ("any addition, removal, or change of content made in a deliberate attempt to compromise the integrity of Wikipedia"). My mistake was being clumsy and posting the natural conclusion that I came to from reading the article rather than merely the symptoms that it described. However, for some reason you immediately assumed that my intention was malicious and threatened to ban me over it. I find this unbecoming of any Wikipedia editor, particularly an administrator, and I would like an apology. Esn (talk) 01:16, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

I had not yet completed my reply to your apparently ill-considered first version before receiving the second. I guess i must confess to some kind of culpability in my looser use of "vandalism" than the policy (reflecting my sense that there is no bright line between intent to post false information and posting information that the editor should have known was false -- whose consequences are likely to survive longer). Does it make sense, instead of apologizing, for me to forgo asking for one for your hair-trigger response to my good-faith (if harshly worded) invitation to explain how the edit could be innocent? Oh, glad i previewed: or for your obscuring the record, by moving your strongest words away from the hair-trigger where you first said them, to ... well, to what is actually your 3rd version? In any case, i should not try to decide tonite whether or how to finish my response-in-progress to what else your version 1 raises. May i bid you good e'en? --Jerzy•t 02:38, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Sigh. Do what you wish. I really, truly don't have time for a long quarrel right now; it's exam period over here. If you do decide to push for my banishment, I hope that my good record of contribution over the past four years will count for something with other editors. Esn (talk) 02:46, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

That's easier to answer quickly: i'm pretty sure i've never initiated an RFC, but i don't think it has to have a definite goal, and at this point my real concern is not that you need to driven away -- but rather that it should be determined whether you can, in light of more voices, and more convincing ones, than just mine, be convinced of something. Namely, that much greater care than that one edit showed (and than you showed in at least your 1st reaction when challenged -- which i admit is a situation presumably emotionally unlike a strong majority of edits, and perhaps emotionally like only edits so rare to be unworthy of consideration). My hope is that your record shows my concern (arising in a context free of knowledge of that record) is disproportionate to that record, and also that the process puts things into a perspective for you where such edits become ever rarer. And i would hope, FWIW, that i could initiate an RFC and bow out with confidence that others better suited than i would follow it to an appropriate conclusion. Certainment, je suis non votre Javert! In particular, i would oppose letting it get more than nominally under way while you are indisposed by the demands on you out in meat space. --Jerzy•t 03:44, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

Editing survey
Hi. My name is Mike Lyons and I am a doctoral student at Indiana University. I am conducting research on the writing and editing of high traffic current events articles on Wikipedia. I have noticed in the talk page archives at 2008 South Ossetia war that you have contributed to the editing or maintenance of the article. I was hoping you would agree to fill out a brief survey about your experience. This study aims to help expand our thinking about collaborative knowledge production. Believe me I share your likely disdain for surveys but your participation would be immensely helpful in making the study a success. A link to the survey is included below. An explanation of my project is included with the survey.

Fair use rationale for File:Thieflogo.png
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Thieflogo.png. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Achmed5.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Achmed5.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 11:21, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Achmed6.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Achmed6.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the media description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 11:22, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

 * The English Wikipedia is turning into the German Wikipedia, what with this new long-term strategy for removing all fair use images by thinking up ever more-stringent required rationales for the existing images every few years, then going on an enforcing spree and deleting all the ones whose editors have moved on (which I'll bet is the vast majority) rather than adding the rationales yourselves.


 * Very clever.


 * Do what you want. I played your game for a long while, but it gets wearying. You make bots to make your enforcing jobs easier, while at the same time make rules to discourage using bots to write rationales, with the result that your job gets easier and easier and the job for those on the other side gets harder and harder. And since most new editors are inclusionist by nature, it doesn't surprise me that the number of active editors on the English Wikipedia is decreasing. Esn (talk) 01:04, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Levsha.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Levsha.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

Ontario general election, 2011 ‎ (→Opinion polls: new forum research poll)
Just to let you know your edit has been reverted (twice)- the rationale prolvided was: "Poll was not conducted on the date listed in source" Ottawahitech (talk) 18:29, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I will add as well, The source you linked to was an article from Sept 24th, but you listed the poll date as Oct 4th. I will assume good faith on this one since you've been adding polls before and there doesn't seem to be any weasel editing on any of those. But, you have to be especially careful with edits like this, people may be coming to Wikipedia to check poll results as part of choosing who they vote for. Your edits made it appear as if the outcome of the electoral race was more in doubt than the more recent polls suggest. Vietminh (talk) 19:04, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm really sorry - it was indeed unintentional. That was a really stupid mistake - I don't know how my brain saw "Sept. 24" and changed that to "Oct. 4". Too late at night, I guess. Esn (talk) 20:00, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Actually, I see what happened; I somehow put in the wrong source link. It should've been this one. Sorry for the confusion. Esn (talk) 20:05, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
 * No worries, happens! The polls have been all over the place in this election so its very easy to mix things up. Thanks for clearing it all up :). Happy editing and happy voting! Vietminh (talk) 20:37, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Forheavenssake3.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Forheavenssake3.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 16:22, 14 September 2013 (UTC)

Proposal for the Creation of an Animation Barnstar
Hi, Esn. I noticed that you are a member of the Animation WikiProject and wanted to share a proposal with you. There have been several times that I have wanted to award an Animation Barnstar to a fellow editor, only to be disappointed that one still doesn't exist. The closest thing that we have right now is the Film Barnstar, but this is only applicable in certain situations, since animation can be found in both film and television. I would like to see an Animation Barnstar become a reality; especially since one already exists for the sub-topic of Anime and Manga. In order for this to become official though, a consensus will have to be reached.

If this is something that you would be interested in supporting, then please let me know on my talk page, as I am sending this message to all of the members of the Animation WikiProject and will not be adding each editor's talk page to my watchlist.

I am also looking for someone who would be able to provide a design for the barnstar. If you have any ideas for this, then please do not hesitate to share them with me. :) --Jpcase (talk) 01:46, 8 December 2013 (UTC)

 * Hi, I noticed that this file should actually be in the public domain, as it's actually just another version of File:Modern Times poster.jpg (with better colours). Can I just remove the deletion notice and borrow the info from the other file? I think it may actually be better to use this version of the poster in the article Modern Times (film) because the colours are less faded. Esn (talk) 23:34, 7 March 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of KROK International Animated Films Festival


A tag has been placed on KROK International Animated Films Festival requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organized event (tour, function, meeting, party, etc.), but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Epeefleche (talk) 08:32, 6 June 2014 (UTC)

Reliability and bias
You may find this site instructive. It mentions how the British Government's BBC used an approach during World War II called “propaganda with truth". It still uses the same technique today.

This makes the British Government's BBC a reliable source, as they do not knowingly state falsehoods. Of course it is biased (do not let the veneer of objectivity fool you).

In 2014, Russian government propaganda on the other hand lies very often - this dishonesty is reported in reliable sources. it is therefore not reliable.--Toddy1 (talk) 17:59, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Sure. The preferred method for BBC et al. is to give extensive coverage to stories that support the government line, and avoid giving any mention at all to the claims or suffering of the other side. Like their genocide of Kikuyu, for example. If journalists from another country dissent, it can be said that it is a "fringe opinion". It is much better for the truth to be seen as lies than to directly lie yourself.


 * In some cases, though, lying is quite blatant.


 * I am not sure what precisely you mean by "Russian government propaganda". If you're talking about the statements of the Russian government, they can be notable because of their authorship even if they may not be true, much like US claims about Saddam Hussein's WMDs. If you're talking about Russian newspapers and journalists - are you painting everything with the same brush? Itar-Tass, for example, has seemed pretty reliable to me in the past. Is there a study which shows that Russian newspapers are less factually accurate than Western ones? Esn (talk) 23:05, 27 July 2014 (UTC)

Eurasian Economic Union
Hello Esn, the Eurasian Economic Union will launch on January 1 2015 with Russia, Kyrgyzstan, Armenia, Belarus, and Kazakhstan as its members states. Tajikistan may join in the future. As you are interested in Russia, if I may I would like to ask you to help assess the article so that we can get it ranked as a good article before January 1 (if you have the time and wish to do so). We're currently working to make it fit the featured article criteria. If someone could assess the article it would be greatly appreciated. We would like the article to be ranked as a Good Article and be in perfect state before January 1. (This is purely voluntary although any help will be greatly appreciated).

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge and WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant!

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to!

npov
Your edit at zahreddine looked pov language. I know as a Russian you probably are very pro-Putin and everything and are pleased at the mass murder of Syrians by the SAA and Russian Airforce in Syria but wikipedia has to try and use npov language. also al masdar is a crap pov Hezbollah/Iran theocratic Fascist source. Im sick of Putinist Fascists making wikipedia crap. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.144.88.58 (talk • contribs) 16:15, 11 September 2017 (UTC)
 * No, I'm not pleased at mass murder (thank you for assuming good faith /sarc.). I see the only part of my Zahreddine edits that you had issue with was to change "in protecting Deir Ezzor" to "at Deir Ezzor". I guess I could have been more clear and written "in protecting the SAA-held part of Deir Ezzor" (although that was the side that contained 90% of the civilians, at least according to Western news agencies who reported that there were 10,000 civilians on the ISIS side). Regarding Al-Masdar, it was only used as a source for a pro-regime event (Assad congratulating Zahreddine), and it's not controversial to use it for events like that. Regarding Wikipedia being ruined by "Putin Fascists"... I have not noticed Wikipedia to be particularly pro-Putin. The tendency here is to give more weight to pro-NATO sources and viewpoints, with the "pro-Putin" (that is, mainstream Russian) viewpoints getting included if they happen to get reported by sources that are typically pro-NATO. Also, I'm not convinced you know what "fascist" means, as it seems you just use it as an epithet directed at things you don't like. Esn (talk) 08:17, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Fascism is use of force, of violence, aimed to silence, over open democracy, - the fate of Anna Politkovskaja, should give an introductory lesson into what Fascism is. Thats part of what it is. The doctrine of 'force'. The propaganda of Putin is set forth here at wikipedia at great length, trust me.  78.147.64.140 (talk) 12:35, 14 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Going by your definition (fascism = violence, aimed to silence speech), Putin has substantially decreased fascism in Russia, while Brazil and Mexico are far more fascist places for journalists. That's what the data shows; violence against journalists has substantially decreased since he came to power, tracking the five-fold decrease in the murder rate over the same period. Moreover, according to the independent polling form Levada Center, 25% more people than a decade ago believe that "there is democracy in Russia today". Such data seems more trustworthy to me than a random person on the internet. As for Politkovskaya's specific case, it's horrible what happened to her, but there is no proof that Putin was responsible. Journalists unfortunately die very suspicious deaths in the West as well, Michael Hastings being a prominent recent example. Esn (talk) 09:34, 15 September 2017 (UTC)

Hello, could it be that you are a (former) member of the PCKF (under a different nickname)? Sorry if I mistook you for someone else. --Grandy02 (talk) 20:08, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Well, sure. But I don't do too much here these days. Send me a message through the PM system there if you want to chat. :) Esn (talk) 22:31, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Ah, nice! :-) Well, I sent you a PM on the PCKF back in August 2015, but I guess you didn't log in anymore by that time. Could you reupload the files I'm asking for? --Grandy02 (talk) 09:19, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
