Hello, I'm Iryna Harpy. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Little Russia, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

 * @Iryna Harpy. When in doubt, please leave a request, do not just remove the information. If you need any guidance, please see referencing for beginners and do not hesitate to contact me for help. Citation added. Francois (talk) 05:14, 7 May 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, but you explaining what to me? That's fine that you later added a citation, however you had overwritten long-standing content without a citation. Please assume good faith, and do check on an editor's experience before explaining what you understand the protocols to be... andpoint me to referencing for beginners. With over 36k of editing experience under my belt, it would be courteous to give me the benefit of the doubt as to whether I know what I'm doing. Thank you for your understanding. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 07:25, 7 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Of course I understand! Your plea is heard and accepted. One can make mistakes even after 36k edits. Nothing to be ashamed of! Dixit. Francois (talk) 07:49, 7 May 2017 (UTC)

@Ymblanter. Please, explain. Francois (talk) 16:25, 6 June 2018 (UTC)
 * You are edit-warring (pushing POV) in an article on EE topic. I though you wanted to know that blocks in this area are given pretty quickly since AE is authorized.--Ymblanter (talk) 17:43, 6 June 2018 (UTC)
 * @Ymblanter. Thank you, but I want to warn you that Russian Constitution is far from being a POV. Let's look for a consensus!.. Francois (talk) 17:47, 6 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Consensus has been established in 2014 and is reflected in all articles on Crimea.--Ymblanter (talk) 17:52, 6 June 2018 (UTC)
 * That consensus is outdated. Francois (talk) 17:55, 6 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Continue edit-warring then.--Ymblanter (talk) 17:56, 6 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Are you provoking me? Francois (talk) 17:58, 6 June 2018 (UTC)
 * No, you just are not constructove. Nothing changed since 2014, why should you waste everyone's time when the result is pretty clear? You can try though, I guarantee that you would fail miserably.--Ymblanter (talk) 18:03, 6 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Constructove? :))) Noting chanjed. :) Crimea was and is part of Russia. We voted for our freedom. This is why I am saying that the consensus was wrong. Wrongdoings should be rectified, right? Francois (talk) 18:07, 6 June 2018 (UTC)
 * They are reflected. Every single article says Russia administers Crimea and claims it is part of Russia, including the one you werre edit-warring in. What you voted for nobody cares. There is an article about referendum, which explains this as well.--Ymblanter (talk) 18:14, 6 June 2018 (UTC)

''Side remark: How symptomatic. The Western 'democrats' don't really give a damn about people's voting!.. Only their bombs are true democracy. Q.e.d. «Mein Gott, hilf mir, diese toedliche» Demokratie «zu ueberleben»'' Francois (talk) 18:24, 6 June 2018 (UTC)
