Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add content (particularly if you change facts and please cite a reliable source for the content you're adding or changing.  This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. Take a look at Citing sources for information about how to cite sources and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.--John (talk) 18:39, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

Please cite your sources when you change dates of historic events, as you did in El Aaiún. Your edit has been reverted since you gave no explanation or reference for the edit. -kotra (talk) 19:39, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Diplomatic missions of Saharawi
Thank you for your contributions to this article. I did find earlier a website that said there were Saharawi missions in Madagascar and India, but then I found something else that said India no longer recognised the Saharoud government, so I presume there is no presence in New Delhi.

I recall back in the 1990s there was an embassy or some kind of mission in Hanoi. Do you know anything about it?

On some of your more recent edits:
 * I am pretty sure there is no mission in Dili. The website you used as a source only mentioned that the Ambassador presented his credentials.  Most ambassadors to Timor Leste are usually resident elsewhere, typically Jakarta or Canberra.
 * Speaking of which, I live in Canberra, and I am certain there is no Sahrawi office or delegation here.
 * If you wish to contribute in future, could I ask that you follow the same formatting as we use in all the other articles? We do not list types of missions separately.  We group missions according to specific continents.  We do not list cross-accreditations etc.

Thanks! Kransky (talk) 13:19, 9 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Hello!. I have no idea of that Sahrawi delegation in Hanoi you mention, I will search about it. In the case of India & Madagascar, both countries suspended relations with the SADR in 2000 & 2005, so the Sahrawi embassy in New Delhi was closed. I dunno if there's still a General delegation there. In the case of Timor Leste, I think there's a non-resident embassador (Timorese foreign affairs page ain't updated since 2004). Perhaps he lives in Australia, because he's also the representative for Australia & New Zealand (see the link[1]). Perhaps the General Delegation is in Melbourne,Perth or other major Australian city. The problem is that Australia dont have official diplomatic relations with the SADR. Regards.--HCPUNXKID (talk) 16:29, 9 May 2010 (UTC)


 * If you can find details about Hanoi, include it, but I suspect there has been a global shift away from recognising SADC.
 * The Diplomatic Missions by Country (DMBC) articles are only intended to list diplomatic missions (as their names imply), and not non-resident accreditations or honorary consulates. There is also a consistent format that we follow in terms of what information we include and how we present it.  You can visit the other 180+ articles and see how this consistency is applied Kransky (talk) 11:02, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I understand there is a consistent format to be used at the DMBC pages, but that cannot be an obstacle to bring as more info as we can (This is suppossed to be a encyclopedia, ain't it?). Also, the case of the SADR (as for example, the case of Palestine) is special, as it's a limited-recognition state, so it's not equal as, for example, Morocco or Algeria. P.D. I finally find that the Australia & New Zealand general delegation is based in Sidney.--HCPUNXKID (talk) 15:29, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I appreciate your enthusiasm, but just because you have found a novel fact does not warrent its inclusion in Wikipedia (see WP:INDISCRIMINATE).  Nor is it appropriate to propose a totally new style - the Manual of Style expressly forbids edit-warring over styles.  If you want to become involved with DMBC articles, may I suggest you first look at how these 180+ articles are developed together before proposing something revolutionary to the broader community.
 * Do you have evidence of a SADC presence in Sydney? I could only find the Australian Western Sahara Association (awsa.org.au), which is an advocacy group and does not claim to speak on behalf of the SADC government-in-exile, or have any other quasi-diplomatic status.
 * So, why does consistency matter? To demonstrate that all countries, irrespective of how well recognised or powerful they are, are treated equally in being represented on Wikipedia.  Consider consistency as a means of protection, as equality and "one-rule-for-all" principles has helped prevent conflicts emerging by people claiming a certain article should not be included, or included in a different way.     Kransky (talk) 09:00, 11 May 2010 (UTC) Kransky (talk) 09:00, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Also, If you ask me to not change or delete info, I ask you for being more careful & not deleting references (for example the reference of the SADR embassy in South Africa).--HCPUNXKID (talk) 16:05, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you for accepting the formatting to this article. It is true that we encourage editors to cite sources, however if they have linked the page to a reliable primary source (such as the website of the country's foreign ministry where all their missions are listed) then this is not really necessary.  In the SADR case because a comprehensive official list does not exist, we need to find other sources to confirm our facts and be accountable to them.  As it is, I have searched for a SADC presence in Australia, and having not found anything, any mention of a SADC in Australia would definitely need some form of citation.
 * And thank you again for ceasing your bold edits to the rest of the articles.  To get a consensus could you contact some of the editors and ask them what they think?  I will see what the general mood is before casting my vote   Kransky (talk) 10:06, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

Diplomatic missions - flags
Could I ask you to propose bold ideas first, on one or two articles first? T think you may have a reasonably good idea, but lets think it through first (I think it is more appropriate to refer to multilateral organisations by their formal names, not acronoms). Other editors may have a contrary view. Could you please revert back all the articles except one, and then seek a consensus from other established editors? Some editors are listed here: Category talk:Lists of diplomatic missions by sending country Kransky (talk) 15:24, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

User Warnings
HCPUNXKID, As a consequence of you reversion of List of diplomatic missions of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic, and your decision not to provide a source proving Australia hosts a SADR diplomatic mission (or to provide a reason why a source was unnecessary), unfortunately I have been compelled to place a warning template on your talk page. Could you please provide evidence that Australia hosts a SADR mission? I have also flagged a warning template on your decision to change the formatting of the article without seeking consensus, when I have on two occasions raised this concern with you directly. Please refer to the General Principles of Manual of Style. Kransky (talk) 15:52, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
 * As cited above, thank you for your cooperation. If this does not go ahead, could you please revert back all the changes you made? Kransky (talk) 10:06, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

Initiation of dispute resolution procedures
Evidently we cannot agree to what goes into this article, and I note a previous editor also had issues with your edits. This is no great drama - good faith disputes are a common occurance in Wikipedia, and there are processes in place to resolve them.

My argument is that you have not yet provided what I consider is reliable evidence that the SADC government has an official presence in a number of countries, particuarly countries which do not recognise the SADC's sovereignty in Western Sahara. Indeed I have actively searched for anything that could corraborate your claims, but I have found nothing, although I stand corrected on the SADC having a presence in Addis Ababa (I am still uncertain about the authority of the website that claims SADC missions in New York and Geneva, but I will let that slide).

You have repeatedly told me to refer to sources (like this website) which you claim proves your point, but I cannot see any evidence that the persons mentioned run are "general delegations", or even if they have any form of legitimacy within the SADC.

If you consider other DMBC articles are insufficiently referenced, your efforts to improve those articles by finding references or adding "citation required" annotations would be appreciated. Just because one article is not to-the-letter consistent with a policy doesn't justify the elimination of that policy.

I understand your keen interest in the rights of the Sawahari people, as you specify on your user page, but I do not believe their cause is advanced by misrepresenting particular persons as "general delegations", no matter how well meaning the intent. In recognising your good faith, might I also politely ask you review what exactly Vandalism is before making such accusations.

Consequently I will revert the article back, but I am happy to direct this dispute to a third party to have it resolved if you still want to press the issue. Since the crux of our disagreement is over your reference material, might I suggest the matter be directed to the Reliable Sources noticeboard? Alternatively Third opinion could be another option. Any thoughts?

Proposed deletion of Bouchraya Hammoudi Bayoun


The article Bouchraya Hammoudi Bayoun has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners or ask at Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. The-Pope (talk) 16:47, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

Abdelkader Taleb Omar
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a search with the contents of Abdelkader Taleb Omar, and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: Abdelkader Taleb Oumar. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page&mdash; you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally trying to rename an article, please see Help:Moving a page for instructions on how to do this without copying and pasting. If you are trying to move or copy content from one article to a different one, please see Copying within Wikipedia and be sure you have acknowledged the duplication of material in an edit summary to preserve attribution history.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. CorenSearchBot (talk) 16:52, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

Page titles
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give Abdelkader Taleb Oumar a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Abdelkader Taleb Omar. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you.

RE: Western Sahara & Arab world protests
This is the last time I'm going to say this. There is no relation whats so ever to the current protests. Why are you so desperate to add it in? It doesn't matter if its similar and no one has probably heard of that little protest. The current protests started in Tunisia on December 18 and it spread from there so any protest that happened before doesn't belong on the page. By claiming it started on October, you are contradicting the article. Notice you are the only one trying to add it. There are plenty reasons on the talk page.TL565 (talk) 15:03, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Are you blind? The argument is right in front of you. Look, I know you live there and are desperate to make the WS look like it made an impact but that still does not mean you can add incorrect info to the page. Unless you can find protests in the WS that happened after December 18, feel free to add it in. If you make the same edits again it will be regarded as spam. Everyone else seems to agree.TL565 (talk) 18:37, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Owner of the page? Ask yourself that. I have people on my side, you don't. Nobody but you believes the protests started before the proper date. In that case, you might as well add all the protests that happened decades before because they are similar. Its not sacred its fact. What are you trying accomplish anyway? So far, nobody agrees with you. Why don't you add something about protests happening in WS now? I hear protests just started this month. Anyway I'm done with you. Don't comment on my page again.TL565 (talk) 20:34, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Support --I agree these protests were in no way instigational or influential to the protests in Tunisia, Algeria, Egypt etc and therefore not relevant whatsoever, one person claiming it to be does not make it so, there is absolutely no factual proof/evidence of it being related to any of the other protests, like TL565 stated, if we are to include it we might as well include countless of other protests that predate the ones that started in Tunisia on December 18Kapoon129 (talk) 20:56, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on 2010–2011 Middle East and North Africa protests. Users are expected to collaborate with others and avoid editing disruptively. In particular, the three-revert rule states that: 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 continue to edit war, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:52, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) Making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block.

NPoV on Western Sahara related articles
Hello,

I think that you should read WP:IRS, especially paragraph 4.2.

A primary source can't be reliable, except if it is used as a source to show the position/declaration of one of the involved actors. You can't use SPS or MAP excepting to cite Polisario and Moroccan gov's declarations and positions, neither can be reliable a blog or a website which shows a clear position in favor of one of the two sides.

Official language of the Sahrawi republic
On the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic a recurring issue going back over years is that some editors insist on including Spanish in the info box. This would be fine if Spanish was an official language but it is not: Constitution - Article 4:La langue arabe est la langue nationale officielle.[Trans: The Arab language is the national official language (no Spanish!)]. I am dropping you a note here because you previously edited this article and not many people are bothered with it so perhaps you could participate and help put down these attempts to include inaccurate information...Thanks. 109.76.199.226 (talk) 09:05, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

Category sorting

Sahrawi protests
Last year's protests ended in early November, with just a couple of fights at a high school thereafter. This year's protests began in late February after commentators and later Polisario figures observed that the Arab Spring was something that Sahrawis were watching closely and taking to heart. Considering the gap in between protests in early November and late February and the change in the political conditions of the region, I think it's absolutely appropriate to split the protests into two articles. -Kudzu1 (talk) 01:52, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I disagree strongly. Your appreciation is based wether on your personal opinion or in the personal opinion of a unique non-neutral source, as it is the Moroccan director of Dahkla music festival, wich is not a reliable source (also, he dont say that the Dahkla events where the start of something new, he only said that he believed that they were influenced by the Arab Spring. Much people also think that the Arab Spring was influenced by the Gdeim Izik camp, so who influence who?). I repeat, there are not evidences to split the article in two parts. If you use the argument of the decline of violence and protest in the gap between late 2010 and early 2011, same thing should be done for example with Yemen (since January 2011 there had been ups & downs on the level of protest until the current unrest) and so on with other countries. Please, lets try to be neutral, fair and avoid double-standarts. Regards.--HCPUNXKID (talk) 17:45, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

SADR
Dear HCPUNXKID

I have no double standards with regard to the SADR and the other unrecognized states you mentioned. Indeed, I'm not sure if I have worked on the list of recognizing states of the states you mentioned. I was just adding that most of the early states the recognized the SADR were communist or "third worldist" states and that one of the causes, I think, that successive US presidents backed Morocco. One can say they were right or wrong to do so, but I think showing what type of states backed the SADR gives the reader a better illustration of how the western Sahara conflict fit in with the larger ideological conflict between pro-western and third worldist and communist states during the late 1970s and 1980s.

I have been thinking that including the types of states that recognized the State of Palestine, Republic of China etc. would indeed also illustrate these (still ongoing) ideological conflicts, but I haven't had much time to devote to large scale Wikipedia projects lately as I have been on the cusp of graduating from college and attempting (perhaps futilely) to enter a graduate program in political science...a stressful and time consuming process.

While I have this opportunity, could you tell me something about how the Western Sahara issue is perceived in Spain? I perceive that it is still a sensitive issue, but its ideological and political significance to domestic Spanish audiences seems unclear from what I have read online.

Speedy deletion nomination of Sahrawi national football team


A tag has been placed on Sahrawi national football team, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate,. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Sir Sputnik (talk) 23:21, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

Western Sahara
I would like to express my appretiation regarding your work on Western Sahara War articles - it is a really blessed thing, somebody is finally doing a serious job on it. I did begin to organize it, but it has been pretty hard task for me alone, especially considering the conflict wasn't on my top priorities list. Keep on.Greyshark09 (talk) 21:17, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much for your comments, it's good to see that some people appretiate the Western Sahara War work.

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


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

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item 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 creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media 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 the non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MilborneOne (talk) 20:04, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute.

File permission problem with File:Laguera view.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Laguera view.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log]. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy.

POV in Bay of Biscay
You have added a POV template to the Bay of Biscay article, but you haven't explained why you think there is a bias. You will need to start a new section on the article's talk page to discuss this, otherwise the template will be removed. Bazonka (talk) 16:23, 3 March 2013 (UTC)

Libyan civil war
Hey. I just wanted to explain *why* I am reverting your edits. It is not because I agree or disagree with them, it is because they are potentially controversial (as they have all been added before and were contended then as well) and thus they need to be discussed on the talk page, and a consensus reached before adding them into the article, per wikipedia convention. Instead of simply reverting my edit, could you please talk about it on the article talk page, so that multiple editors can state their views, and we can come to consensus? Thanks! Jeancey (talk) 17:09, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
 * It doesn't really matter what the sources say at this point, because there are plenty of reliable sources for both points of view. It is a contentious edit, therefore protocol dictates that the article is reverted to the state prior to the edit, and a discussion takes place.  I would ask you to please self revert your edit and move it to the talk page.  Unilaterally making controversial changes to a high profile article is not a good thing.  Please discuss on the articles talk page, and do not re add the information until a discussion can take place. Jeancey (talk) 17:52, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I am well aware of what wikipedia is. There are reliable sources for both sides of the argument. Saying your sources are better or more reliable than other, equally reliable sources, and calling them "so-called rebels" can be seen as pushing a point of view. When the discussion takes place, I would suggest refraining from such point of view comments and wording, as many who might take your side would side against you because of it. Jeancey (talk) 17:59, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I am a member of wikiproject Libya. The flag that is displayed is controlled by the Flag template, which is a wikipedia wide template that I have no direct control over. I was a member of wikiproject Libya when the flag was still the solid green flag. I did not change it, there was a discussion on the flag template (which I had no part it) and it was changed.  I can no more control the flag than I could control any other countries flag. Jeancey (talk) 18:17, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Feel free to add the POV template, but keep in mind, that if you add the template, you must then open a discussion about it on the talk page. That is how the template works, it is there to indicate that the article may or may not be biased in one direction, and that the person who placed it there explained on the talk page why they think the article is POV.  If you do not open a talk page discussion about it, it very well could be removed. Jeancey (talk) 18:24, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:MAHFUD ALI BEIBA3.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:MAHFUD ALI BEIBA3.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free 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.

Image copyright problem with File:ARTifariti 2008 El Muro de la Vergüenza.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:ARTifariti 2008 El Muro de la Vergüenza.jpg.

This image is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such images would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a screenshot of a computer game or movie. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original image must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.

While the image description page states the source and copyright status of the derivative work, it only names the creator of the original work without specifying the status of their copyright over the work.

Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the original image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other derivative works, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log].

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Ninja Dianna (Talk) 20:30, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

Better source request for File:Logo 77.jpg
Thanks for your upload to Wikipedia: You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete.

Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.

Removal of POV tag
You seem like somebody who's been around long enough to know better than to remove a POV tag without even an edit summary, as you did here. Regardless of your intent, marking the edit as minor was particularly misleading; per WP:MINOR, " A minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute", which self-evidently isn't the case for a POV tag.

Regarding Iranian support for South Yemen
Here is the relevant quote from the source that amply supports the edit: "Moreover, many Herakis accuse Mr Hadi’s government of slandering their movement by accusing it of ties to Iran. While such accusations were at first widely discounted by Western diplomats, some Herakis acknowledge that some factions get support from Iran but say it is exaggerated by their opponents to distract attention from local grievances." Please stop reverting.Fotoriety (talk) 11:43, 8 May 2013 (UTC)

I would recommend that both tags be removed. The vague tag is not needed because as the page clearly says "Iran (some factions)", it is not vague in any way but rather specific. As for the citation tag: how can you say "as with that source we cannot state that the South Yemen Movement is supported by Iran" when south Yemenis themselves have admitted this? So if you cannot respond to these 2 points adequately then i will remove your tags.Fotoriety (talk) 23:51, 8 May 2013 (UTC)

Oh, so that's what you meant by vague. OK, sorry, i agree with your logic in that regard. However, you have not convinced me why the citation tag is needed. So would you like to try again?Fotoriety (talk) 15:11, 9 May 2013 (UTC)

I disagree with your citation explanation because the citation tag is misleading to readers. A citation tag is for unsourced claims only. It isn't for vague claims. The sourced claim clearly says that Iran is helping the South. I think the citation tag should be removed in order to not mislead readers into thinking no source is given. If you would like to encourage more detailed sources then please find a better tag that targets that demand.Fotoriety (talk) 23:34, 9 May 2013 (UTC)

SOHR and "Facebook"
Laying down a few points: It's not a perfect solution (I was initially opposed to it myself and still have reservations), but there really isn't one as far as covering this war is concerned. I would recommend taking this up with User:EkoGraf, who is the main compiler of casualties, if you really want to argue. Lothar von Richthofen (talk) 22:34, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Facebook isn't being used as a "source". As far as I know, Mark Zuckerberg isn't releasing information on the conflict. Facebook is a publisher of sources, not a source itself.
 * There is local agreement to allow limited use of partisan media in battle articles—particularly SOHR's death tolls, as they are the most detailed ones released.


 * You totally misunderstood me. There WAS consensus, it was something like 6-7 editors who were in support of the move to include it as a source while just one or two were against it but backed down at the end. That's why I said most. Editor Lothar also told you that there is an agreement among editors of the Syrian civil war articles to use it as a source. The posts are not posts by individuals (which Wikipedia does not condone), they are posts by the organisation SOHR as their OFFICIAL english version statements/updates on events in the conflict and is their official Facebook page which is being used by highly credible and reliable media. That info (from the posts) is directly used by the mainstream media like BBC news, Guardian, Telegraph, Reuters, AFP, AP, etc. That proves its reliability. A few more editors over the years spoke out about their reservation on using it (like you) and it was discussed at the main civil war article many times, but a general consensus in the end was always to include the info. If you have a problem with it please start up a discussion on the issue at the main Syrian civil war articles talk page so others could be included. EkoGraf (talk) 16:50, 28 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Listen, it was agreed by consensus among editors of the Syrian civil war to use it as a source because they are official posts and not posts by individual persons. It wasn't just my sole decision as you are making it out to be, it was the decision of more than half a dozen editors. And it was decided by consensus that SOHR facebook posts would be exempt from the rule you are constantly pointing to. In essence you are going against consensus. If you don't like it than please start a discussion on the main Syrian civil war page so other editors can be also included to voice their opinions and please don't engage in edit war. EkoGraf (talk) 14:44, 29 May 2013 (UTC)


 * And P.S. I am actually of the opinion that Russia Today and Press TV should be used on Wikipedia as well, but most pro-Western editors, which make up the bulk of the English Wikipedia community, don't regard them as reliable so they are excluded. That's in my opinion a non-neutral attitude, while Wikipedia should allegedly be advocating neutrality. EkoGraf (talk) 15:14, 29 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Lobby? Contradict? What? Sorry my friend I really have no idea what you are talking about, you not making a lot of sense. Seems you are trying to make me out something I'm not and your hostile tone seems to be in clear defiance of Wikipedia's guideline on civility. If you got a problem than go and explain it at the main Syrian civil war article, otherwise please don't talk to me, unless you want to talk reasonably with the aim of reaching a compromise, and not just edit war and push your own POV. As for Russia Today and Press TV, I expressed my personal opinion, because I have a right to free thinking, however I am able to exclude my personal feelings from my work/editing on Wikipedia and stick to a neutral POV (which Wikipedia requires) even though others are not able to. That's not contradiction, that's following the rules even if you don't like them. Cheers! EkoGraf (talk) 12:46, 30 May 2013 (UTC)


 * P.S. I am not seeing a reason why you removed the main SOHR site that I put up as a source this time. It has nothing to do with Facebook so your previous reasons that you put out are not applicable in this case since its not a social media site. So please refrain. Thank you. EkoGraf (talk) 12:55, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

Dude, as long as SOHR is attributed and only used when news sources are not available, it's fine. It's reliable enough that "The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights is commonly used as a standalone source for news and statistics". Please stop removing them, unless you can replace them with reliable news sources (meaning not RT, PressTV, SANA, etc.)--FutureTrillionaire (talk) 13:47, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

I changed the source yesterday but you reverted again even without looking. As for the claim thing, I am more comfortable with opposition claim. Although I don't see a reason for the notice at all since the credibility of SOHR is well established, but whatever. EkoGraf (talk) 17:50, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

I never said they were not connected with the opposition. They are an opposition activist group. However, their credibility and reliability has been proven to be high. If you would read just a fraction of the news articles about SOHR itself you would see that the opposition itself hates SOHR. Why? Because they have bothered to document and report not just civilian fatalities in the conflict but also rebel fighters and even government soldiers killed. Plus they have also extensivaly reserched and reported on not just government war crimes but rebel war crimes as well. Thus showing a high level of neutrality, which has earned them the anger of other opposition activist groups (who only count civilians and report on government war crimes exlusivaly) but it has also earned them a great deal of respect from international media for their non-biased position on all reporting. And my personal respect as well. I for one was heavily against using Libyan opposition sources during that countries civil war because of the high probability of propaganda warfare, however SOHR has showed time and again that, even though they are against Assad, they are there for the truth, not just the info that could benefit the opposition. EkoGraf (talk) 22:38, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

Well, that's your personal POV my man, with which the BBC, Reuters, AFP, AP, MSNBC, etc. as well as virtually all the editors on the Syrian war articles, who are using SOHR as a source, don't agree with. Try reading some of these articles to get some insight before forming an opinion In any case, we resolved our issue for now so nothing more to discuss. Cheers! EkoGraf (talk) 23:03, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Damascus offensive (2013). 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, 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.. Lothar von Richthofen (talk) 15:20, 30 May 2013 (UTC)
 * 1) Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

Muammar Gaddafi's awards
Hello there HCPUNXKID! I just wanted to say thank you for your recent work on adding the awards of Muammar Gaddafi to his Wikipedia page. However, I wondered if it would be worth (depending on how much longer you intend to make this section), splitting off this section to create its own separate article. Over at the Nelson Mandela page, we faced a similar situation, and decided to create List of awards and honours bestowed upon Nelson Mandela as a result. Perhaps we should do the same with Gaddafi ? Best, Midnightblueowl (talk) 10:17, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Agreed, there is no need to split this section off just yet, but if it gets any longer, then this will have to be a distinct possibility. Best, Midnightblueowl (talk) 12:12, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
 * The issue is now being discussed over at Talk:Muammar Gaddafi, if you would like to contribute. Midnightblueowl (talk) 18:14, 16 June 2013 (UTC)

Suspicious, Calm down?
Hi, I'm not exactly sure what your point was with those comments. Did you mean that the IP adding unsourced derogatory material to a BLP was suspicious or my removal was? Or did you mean the subect of the article was a suspicious character? Either way your "calm down" directive to me was just odd. I was and remain very calm. Could you enlighten me? What were you trying to convey? Capitalismojo (talk) 12:07, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for replying. I don't think I was "accusing someone of giving unreliable sources". I made a general statement that BLP articles require RS for controversial statements. I think it is safe to say that accusing the subject of being in the pay of Saudi or Qatari governments is inappropriate if not true and well sourced. Several IP editors had added content to the article to that effect without refs. It seemed reasonable to place a bland statement of policy on the talkpage. Thanks again for your note.

VisualEditor
Thank you so much for trying out the new VisualEditor! The transition can be a little challenging to those of us who know something about Wiki markup already. :) If you insert some of the familiar Wikimarkup code (like or  – ), the VisualEditor thinks you are trying to type these things and puts " " tags around it. To actually achieve the same effects, you just need to use the link, template and other icons in the VisualEditor itself. (For more detail, please see VisualEditor/User guide and the VisualEditor/FAQ.)

If you have feedback about your experience or encounter anything that looks like a bug, please let us know at VisualEditor/Feedback. Thanks! --Maggie Dennis (WMF) (talk) 14:41, 2 July 2013 (UTC)

First and Third Republics of South Korea
As you are the one making the change in the infobox description, you are supposed to bring citation to support it.

Also, there's insufficient consensus to call Republic of Korea a U.S. satellite state (client state would be more accurate). There's wide consensus for Soviet satellite states, but our article on the subject shows that there isn't enough information on United States counterparts.

fights on the 80th military base.
I'm accused of vandalism by User:Johnsy88 about the 80th brigade military base. You have participated to the edition of the Battle of Aleppo (2012–13). Could you testify or give your opinion, please? Thanks Tienouchou (talk) 17:06, 13 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Tienouchou When a user reverts an edit to a WP article citing "13:17, 12 November 2013‎ Tienouchou (talk | contribs)‎ . . (226,959 bytes) (+212)‎ . . (Undid revision 581309781 by Johnsy88 (talk) pro-regime propaganda)" this is a clear breach of the NPOV rule firstly and also potential move towards edit warring. I would suggest you read WP:POV, WP:WQT and WP:EW Johnsy88 (talk) 16:03, 17 November 2013 (UTC)

NPOV/johnsy88 talk page post
Firstly i would like to make you aware of the WP:NPOV policy that editors of WP must follow. At present you are making numerous edits to the page Battle of Aleppo (2012–13) as per Battle of Aleppo (2012–13): Revision history. Your WP userpage User:HCPUNXKID clearly states that your edits on such controversial issues as the syrian conflict may be brought under the spotlight. This is due to the fact that on this userpage you list some of the following user tag beliefs - "This user is opposed to the House of Saud.""This user does not support the United Nations.""This user believes the US, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Pakistan are the world's main sponsor states of terror.""This user supports the will of the Kurdish people for an independent Kurdish state.""This user opposes all forms of Islamism and Islamofascism, but is not opposed to Islam as a religion.""'' All of these user tags could raise questions towards your suitability to make edits on pages such as "Battle of Aleppo (2012–13)" due to the fact that the organisations (previously mentioned) in your user profile user tags are involved at present either politically or militarily in the aforementioned conflict. This can/will be construed by certain editors as a direct violation of the WP:NPOV policy. I would like to state furthermore that this is simply being brought to your attention and that if you wish you may maintain the Status quo however adhering to the above mentioned points and understanding WP:NPOV will help to not only reduce edit warring but also set an example to other users.

Also many thanks for your previous post on my talkpage. As per WP:TALK guidelines "There is reasonable allowance for speculation, suggestion, and personal knowledge on talk pages, with a view to prompting further investigation," I am quite within my right to reply to any comment that directly mentions my edits on WP. I would please ask that in future you advise users such as Tienouchou wishing to consult on matters concerning his objections to WP:VAN to refrain from directly naming users unless he wishes to draw attention to such a matter directly resulting in replies from X WP users/escalation to WP:AN/I. Thank you for your cooperation on this issue Johnsy88 (talk) 09:36, 18 November 2013 (UTC)


 * POSTED FROM TALKPAGE User talk:Johnsy88


 * You are editing a page which relates to all the the previously mentioned user tags on your profile. This will be deemed as controversial and will be brought up as WP:POV if taken the wrong way by any user they will report this as such and the obvious consequences will follow. THIS IS NOT AN ATTACK ON YOUR BELIEFS which apparently you believe it is. This is a factually based observation which you have taken the wrong way.


 * 2nd: My post about POV was in relation to the edits made on the Battle of Allepo article and its relation to your user boxes. Not towards your user page directly nor your talk page.


 * 3rd: I am not a "fascist" nor have i made accusations in any form and by carefully reading the grammar and context of my message on your talk page you will see this


 * 4th: If you have an issue with my username or feel that i am in breach of POV then i would suggest you report it through the correct channels.


 * I am not here to WAR with you in any way nor start tit for tat arguments. I am simply pointing out a fact and trying to help you. If you decided to take my advice or not is up to you but i would ask that you remove your comment from my talk page that i am a "former British Army soldier, most edits on fascism-related articles, and using 88 (what means in far-right circles HH-Heil Hitler) in your nick. That smells like some ultra ideology instead of apolitical" as this is a personal attack and if it is not removed i will raise this issue with the admins. If you feel that i am a fascist then look at my youtube page under "the holocaust" and decide for yourself. Johnsy88 (talk) 10:20, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

Good afternoon! I am writing to you because I can see that you are a normal party which objectively examines news and edits only when there are sound arguments.

They distort the facts and change the map as they want and even do not hide the fact that they are all his changes were in favor of the opposition.37.52.27.151 (talk) 16:46, 24 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Yep, I know, but sadly, there's not much we can do about their vandalism and POV-pushing. I've had personally bring Sopher99 case to the administrators board, but with no results. Perhaps if several users made a common denounce of their attitude on the administrators board, we can gain, but Im not optimistic about it. Sincerely, and its sad to say this, I think since a year ago or more that some users had permission from some administrators to do things that if they were make by other users would be banned and severely punished. I dont know if its because they are friends, because they follow common objectives or what, but its a serious setback to Wikipedia's credibility...--HCPUNXKID (talk) 17:14, 24 November 2013 (UTC)

Breaking News Network correspondent to Damascus and its countryside has confirmed that army units confronted an offensive launched by hundreds of militants against towns of al-Bahariya, al-Qasemiah and Deir Salman in Eastern Ghouta.

Edit warring reports
Hi, HCPUNXKID, there are two usual ways of filing a report at AN3. One is to follow the instructions at the top of the page. The other is to use Twinkle. It looks to me like you used Twinkle (not sure) but didn't fill out all the fields in the box. Take a look at other reports, and you'll see what's missing from yours. You don't have page links for the page at issue. You don't have user links for the user being reported. Some of the other missing parts aren't as necessary in a report on a page subject to WP:1RR restrictions, but your initial comment should make clear that this is a 1RR violation on a page subject to general sanctions. (Those other parts would be needed if you were reporting a normal 3RR violation, such as a diff of the 3RR warning, and a diff to a discussion of the dispute.)

Hopefully, that helps. Let me know if you have any specific questions.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:03, 28 November 2013 (UTC)

1RR
You've broken 1RR with your last revert at Template:Syrian civil war detailed map. Please self-revert or expect a report at WP:AN3. Lothar von Richthofen (talk) 23:29, 1 December 2013 (UTC)

Sources for Rif Dimashq offensive
I agree about the blog. I agree in principal about Wikipedia policy on Facebook as source, although in this case we have official posts by SOHR on their official page and not posts made by unknown individuals. And SOHR's credibility and reliability has already been well established. And you have multiple editors who use SOHR Facebook as a source, with only you having a problem with this. However, I am willing to compromise, in the sense I am willing to give up on using SOHR Facebook posts as a source, if we use news reports by SOHR via their official Arabic site (a non-Facebook source). And you can not argue its an unreliable source since we have almost every major news outlet citing SOHR as a source in its reports and they have even written articles exclusively on the credibility and reliability of SOHR, praising it. EkoGraf (talk) 01:22, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
 * I will repeat, the reliable news sites like Reuters, AFP, AP, Guardian, Telegraph, etc have all written whole articles on the reliability of SOHR praising it, even some calling it an authoritative source. That in itself gives credibility and reliability to SOHR. 90 percent of the information coming out of Syria that the reliable news sites report they report based on reports by SOHR. I, in my personal opinion, also agree that it is unfair that Press TV or RT are excluded as unreliable sources, because I think both sides POV need to be presented. If this was the case of the opposition LCC or the opposition SHRN I would highly doubt their reliability, but SOHR has shown that it follows a middle ground of neutrality. In any case, I already said I'm giving up on the FB issue. EkoGraf (talk) 18:20, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
 * The other one calls itself SHRN, Syrian Human Rights Network, and it is most definitely unreliable. It even criticizes SOHR because SOHR decided to count government fighters killed in the war as well and not just civilians and rebels, which the Network thinks is counter-revolutionary and not in their best interest. EkoGraf (talk) 16:48, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

Notice of edit warring report
See here. Lothar von Richthofen (talk) 02:32, 4 December 2013 (UTC)

Block notice and sanctions notification
Sorry for the belated notice. As per the report at WP:ANEW, You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 week for edit warring, as you did at Template:Syrian civil war detailed map. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice:. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please feel free to appeal using unblock, but you may have an uphill climb to convince another admin that you won't be disruptive again. (Note to any admin reviewing an : regardless of WP:SCWGS, please feel free to unblock if you feel a creditable case has been made.)

Furthermore, As a result of a community discussion, long-term and persistent problems in the editing of articles related to the Syrian civil war, broadly construed, have been acknowledged. The community has therefore enacted broad editing restrictions, described at WP:SCWGS and below.


 * Any uninvolved administrator may, at his or her own discretion, impose sanctions on any editor working in the area of conflict if, despite being warned, that editor repeatedly or seriously fails to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behavior, or any normal editorial process.
 * The sanctions imposed may include blocks of up to one year in length, bans from editing any page or set of pages within the area of conflict, bans on any editing related to the topic or its closely related topics, restrictions on reverts or other specified behaviors; or any other measures which the imposing administrator believes are reasonably necessary to ensure the smooth functioning of the project.
 * Prior to any sanctions being imposed, the editor shall be given a warning with a link to this decision and, where appropriate, should be counseled on specific steps that he or she can take to improve his or her editing in accordance with relevant policies and guidelines.
 * Sanctions imposed may be appealed to the imposing administrator or at the appropriate administrators' noticeboard.

These editing restrictions may be applied to any editor for cause, provided the editor has been previously informed of the decision. This message is to so inform you. This message does not necessarily mean that your current editing has been deemed a problem; this is a template message crafted to make it easier to notify any user who has edited the topic of the existence of these sanctions.

Generally, the next step, if an administrator feels your conduct on pages in this topic area is disruptive, would be a warning, to be followed by the imposition of sanctions (although in cases of serious disruption, the warning may be omitted). Hopefully no such action will be necessary.

This notice is effective only if given by an uninvolved administrator and logged at WP:SCWGS. &mdash;Darkwind (talk) 03:27, 5 December 2013 (UTC)

Army of the Holy War - Arab Liberation Army
Hello,

On the article about the Army of the Holy War, you changed an emblem to a flag in the infobox. Per the same reasonning, should this mean in the article about the Arab Liberation Army we should replace the emblem by the flag of the Arab League ? Pluto2012 (talk) 18:31, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
 * I dont think so. I removed the emblem because usually emblems are not used in war/battle infoxes, while flags are usually added. The case of the article about the Arab Liberation Army is different, as there the infobox is a war faction infobox, where the adding of logo, flag, shoulder sleeve, etc... is welcomed. But I saw that there is a MB flag, so I will add it to the infobox. Regards,--HCPUNXKID (talk) 22:39, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
 * I also think we need more info about the use of the Arab League (AL) flag by the ALA (I know the AL organized the ALA, but that doesnt means automatically that the group used the AL flag).--HCPUNXKID (talk) 22:45, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Hello HCPUNXKID,
 * I am not familiar with these infoboxes.
 * I have read a lot of books talking about the ALA but I have never read anything about any flag as well as I have never seen any picture of it.
 * On the other side, the ALA was established, equiped and paid by the AL and it was fighting in the name of the AL. If they used any, it should have been that one (but without source...)
 * In any case, if the infobox allows "emblems", the question is solved.
 * Kind Regards, Pluto2012 (talk) 06:37, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

One source tag
Hi HCPUNXKID, I've been removing the one source tags you've recently added to some Syrian village articles. For the most part these articles are just stubs consisting of a few non-controversial sentences (population and location) and a one source tag is not appropriate. Please stop adding them to these types of articles unless they contain more information that require more sources. Thank you. --Al Ameer (talk) 02:43, 10 January 2014 (UTC)
 * If you are contesting whether or not the subjects are notable that's a different issue and there's a different tag for it. Generally speaking, any populated place is significant enough to warrant its own article even if there are a few available English language sources out there. These articles are stubs and could always be expanded. You're taking the "one-source" part too literally. For an article that just mentions a village's location and population (two non-controversial sentences) we don't need another source, although if another could be found that would be great. The purpose of the tag is to make sure we don't have articles with a bunch of information (controversial or otherwise) dependent on one source. As for the dead links, unfortunately that has been a frustrating issue for the past year, but I have the archived links for many of the articles in Aleppo Governorate which I will add promptly. For those where there are no apparent archives, we should add a "deadlink" tag next to the citation.
 * Also, I am an administrator, but if you'd like to seek another's advice on this issue feel free. --Al Ameer (talk) 20:03, 10 January 2014 (UTC)

Ghuraba al-Sham
Hello, you added tags to the Ghuraba al-Sham (jihadist group) article back in November. I left a message on the talk page there, but I did not receive a response. Why has the neutrality of the article been disputed? If you could let me know why you think the article is not neutral, it can be resolved.David O. Johnson (talk) 04:25, 21 January 2014 (UTC)

Supportkurds
Listen, I will repeat the three things I told you while making the edits. First, they are reporting on a non-kurdish issue that doesn't involve them. Second, you need consensus and proof if you want to mark a source as unreliable. And third, and most importantly, the texts in the sources are quotes from SOHR reports which are considered reliable. So they are not making any claims on their own behalf or of their own making. They are relaying SOHR reports which have been accepted by the Wikipedia community as reliable. EkoGraf (talk) 16:26, 27 January 2014 (UTC)

What I am saying is that the reports that they are quoting (SOHR reports) are the ones that are reliable. The claims that Supportkurds possible makes of their own volition may or may not be biased, I don't know, I didn't look them up. But back to the main issue, they are quoting the SOHR reports which have been accepted by the Wikipedia community.

And to answer your question why I'm not using direct SOHR reports. SOHR reports in three ways. They have their Arabic version site which is updated regularly, their English version site which is not updated so regularly and their English version site via their official Facebook news page which they update regularly. Since you, despite the objections of many of the Syrian war editors, have declared the SOHR Facebook posts unusable, even though they are official posts and not posts made by unchecked individuals, that leaves us with the SOHR Arabic regularly updated site and the English non-regularly updated site. I managed to find and replace some of the Facebook sources you removed with sources from the Arabic site. However, due to that being an Arabic-speaking site and we are editing on the English Wikipedia it would be best to use English-speaking sources. Also, the Arabic-speaking sites library of past reports isn't sorted in the best reading order (which makes it really hard to find the older sources) while Supportkurds quotes the reports by a chronological timeline/dates. EkoGraf (talk) 16:54, 27 January 2014 (UTC)

If you still have reservations and wish, as a compromise, I can over time try and find more of the Arabic-written reports and as much as I find them I gradually replace the Supportkurds. EkoGraf (talk) 17:02, 27 January 2014 (UTC)

I got your reply just now. The point is, it doesn't matter if its an activist and non-journalistic site. They are quoting/posting SOHR english reports, not making up their own claims. But again, as a compromise, I am asking that only temporarily they remain until over time (because it will take some time due to the large SOHR archive) I gradually replace them with the Arabic reports. Ok? EkoGraf (talk) 00:36, 28 January 2014 (UTC)

Outdated sources
HCPUNXKID you can stop using outdated sources because some people will also be edited using outdated sources and map will turn to trash.

B. Keep both Barcaxx's edits and my edits, but leave it at that and not add villages with wikimapia, twitter, ect

C. Keep both Barcaxx's and my edits, and continue to allow the construction of villages using wikimapia and twitter

Inappropriate use of Template:Refimprove
The information on this template clearly says: When to use

This template indicates that the article needs additional inline citations. This template should be used only for articles where there are some, but insufficient, inline citations to support the material currently in the article. Don't use this tag for articles that contain no unreferenced material, even if all the material is supported by a single citation.

That was obviously not the case with the ADL article. And as was demonstrated, finding sources for the 3 citation needed tasks was trivial and the editor who added them took less than 20 minutes to do so, finding the first in 32 seconds. You should have either ignored it, fixed the problem, or posted to the talk page and asked if someone else could. Hopefully you will next time you find an article with 92 citations and 3 fact tags.

Battle of Aleppo map
A user edited Baloura to contested (from government-held) and Sheikh Lufti to rebel-held (from contested) while none of the provided sources indicated Baloura has become contested and we have no source saying rebels took full control of Sheikh Lufti. The user made an assumption that because the rebels attacked Aziza than they must have captured Sheikh Lufti, which is considered Original Research by Wikipedia and is not allowed. So I would kindly urge you to revert the southeastern front situation to back as it was (Baloura red/government held and Sheikh Lufti contested). Also, same goes for Al-Waffa, we have confirmation of fighting around the intelligence building and palace of justice (north of Waffa), but not in Waffa itself. The user used youtube videos as a basis to make Waffa contested. Youtube video can not be used per Wikipedia policy and are forbiden. So that should also go back to red. The area northwest of Waffa should remain contested. Thank you. EkoGraf (talk) 15:17, 19 April 2014 (UTC)

P.S. I just noticed that Hanano was also marked as contested, despite that no more fighting has been reported there since the rebel attack on the barracks was repelled a few days ago per an opposition source. So that also should go back to red. So in essence, that user's whole edit should be reverted back to Sopher's version. EkoGraf (talk) 15:24, 19 April 2014 (UTC)

Personal attacks
This is your only warning; if you make personal attacks on other people again, as you did at Donetsk People's Republic, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. '' Refrain from personal attacks such as accusations of "POV-pushing, misinterpretation, lies and vandalism" or YOU will be reported. This is your only warning in light of your history of this disruptive behavior.'' Львівське (говорити) 20:11, 20 April 2014 (UTC)

Please use the article talk page
Do you think you could discuss your views on the article talk page? You may believe that the leaflets were a hoax. I do not see how you can possibly be right. They really did exist and really were distributed.

I do not know for certain who produced and distributed the leaflets. My guess is that they were produced on a standard office printer/photocopier. Most office workers in the city had the capability. The arguments in the Guardian article are mildly interesting, but not conclusive. Remember, "Donetsk People's Republic" consists of a bunch of people who have normal jobs aided by "green men" and volunteers from across the border. The writer for the Guardian seems to think that they would have professional printers like a government department in England - that is not a realistic attitude.

The leaflets may have been produced by people from the "Donetsk People's Republic". They did not necessarily have authorisation - it is not clear whether all the building seizures are centrally planned either - some are.

The leaflets may have been produced as "black propaganda" by the Government, or somebody else. The English were very good at black propaganda during World War II.

Either way, the leaflets were real. You may have your beliefs about them, but Wikipedia has to be based on reliable sources and have a neutral point of view.--Toddy1 (talk) 05:18, 21 April 2014 (UTC)

Many of Your Edits to the Iraq Template Are Very Unreliable

November 2014
Your recent editing history at 2014 Russian military intervention in Ukraine shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. 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.

Complaint about your edits at WP:AN3
A complaint about you was filed here: Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring. The edit history shows that you broke WP:3RR on November 3. I think it might be closed with no further action if you will promise not to make any controversial changes to the article without first getting consensus on the talk page. Your recent statement at User talk:Iryna Harpy suggests that you think it would be harmless to add the word 'alleged' to articles and also that you are entitled to add the 'NPOV' tag if you want to. Such changes are just another way to continue an edit war, and you won't escape consequences if you try that. So I'll wait to see if you'll agree to my offer above.

Your contributed article, Free Donbass


Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Free Donbass. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Donetsk People's Republic. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Donetsk People's Republic – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, 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, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Darkness Shines (talk) 23:41, 6 November 2014 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Free Donbass


The article Free Donbass has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Fails to meet WP:GNG, specifically WP:FAILN. It isn't a political party, but some sort of organisation of parties(?) or alliance of parties after the Donbass election farce. Given that it's unclear as to its significance, and within an unrecognised state, it's WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Considering that the author of the article was sanctioned and blocked from editing any Eastern European related subject for 6 months (WP:ARBEE), the rationale for creating it is in his head, so there aren't even any further lines of investigation for other editors. If they become notable at some point in the future (WP:CRYSTAL), a relevant can be created from scratch.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion
Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. The thread is Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring. Thank you. RGloucester — ☎ 00:01, 20 November 2014 (UTC)

Topic ban violation -- attempting to edit Free Donbass through proxies
To enforce an arbitration decision, you have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 week. You are welcome to edit once the block expires; however, please note that the repetition of similar behavior may result in a longer block. If you believe this block is unjustified, please read the guide to appealing arbitration enforcement blocks and then appeal your block using the instructions there.  Reminder to administrators: In March 2010, ArbCom adopted a procedure instructing administrators as follows: "No administrator may modify a sanction placed by another administrator without: (1) the explicit prior affirmative consent of the enforcing administrator; or (2) prior affirmative agreement for the modification at (a) AE or (b) AN or (c) ARCA (see "Important notes" [in the procedure]). Administrators modifying sanctions out of process may at the discretion of the committee be desysopped." Administrators who reverse this block without the clear authorisation described in that procedure will be summarily desysopped.

You are under a topic ban from Ukraine and Russian topics connected to Ukraine, broadly construed. I'm sure you realize that political organizations that are active within the internationally recognized territory of Ukraine are covered by your ban. Free Donbass is such an organization, since it exists in what Wikipedia refers to as eastern Ukraine. So your efforts to get others to proxy for you in contesting the proposed deletion of Free Donbass are ruled out by ban from Ukraine: I'm issuing a one-week block as an arbitration enforcement, since your ban was under WP:ARBEE which is an Arbcom case. You can appeal the block to me, to WP:AE or to the Arbitration committee. If you feel that the limits of your ban are unclear then it would be a simple matter to extend it to cover all of WP:ARBEE. I'd rather not take that step yet, hoping that you will understand what the limits are. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 04:28, 20 November 2014 (UTC)

Syria .svg maps
I don't know if you can help me, because i belive to be the only person with this problem. I wanted to update the .svg maps for Syria, lets say for Aleppo town. But the problem is, whatever program i use (inkscape or Adobe ilustrator) when i open the .svg file, it looks likes this, and i think it shouldn't look like this. DuckZz (talk) 20:11, 23 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Hey DuckZz, in order to edit .svg maps and other ones in WP, some other user recommend me to download Inkscape, wich is a pro editor for vectorial graphics. Its a bit complicated at first (I still only made few changes in the maps with it, as I still dont control it well), but its a good option. Hope that could help you!.--<font color="Purple">HC <font color="Gold">PUNX <font color="Purple">KID 22:47, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

Edit warring without discussing
Hello. You inserted an edit on Module:Syrian Civil War detailed map. When someone undid your edit, you immediately restored it without any discussion until after you were again reverted. I consider this to be edit warring. Please do not continue to do this or I will ask for another impartial administrator's opinion on if further steps for remediation are necessary given your history. Magog the Ogre (t • c) 19:19, 19 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Magog the Ogre, you should better review the talk pages before talking, or you could end up saying untrue things, as in this case. I've tried to discuss the issue on the talk page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Cities_and_towns_during_the_Syrian_Civil_War#Suluk.2C_pro-Kurdish_bias_.26_double_standards, it seems that Im not the only user who denies double standard bias), but it seems that some users prefer POV-pushing over editing with proper citations, as I did in the Suluk case. Feel free to do what you want, but Im not gonna accept the revert of an edition properly & correctly sourced according to WP rules.--<font color="Purple">HC <font color="Gold">PUNX <font color="Purple">KID 14:59, 22 July 2015 (UTC)

List of proposed state mergers
Hi HCPUNXKID. Please stop adding bogus entried to the List of proposed state mergers. Valid entries are those for which we have evidence that aurothities/ governments/etc have at one or other stage approached each other about such a union. A proposal by Obama for the US to merge with Canada counst for nothing if the proposal is not presented to Canada and Canada actaully agrees to contemplate it. Anything else is hogwash. The opinions of others that you find in blogs, opinion pieces in the media etc, do not count. Rui &#39;&#39;Gabriel&#39;&#39; Correia (talk) 09:15, 26 August 2015 (UTC)

So why are you writing to me about the "Union of Sovereign States"? Rui &#39;&#39;Gabriel&#39;&#39; Correia (talk) 17:58, 23 September 2015 (UTC)
 * My apologies. The entry that made me write to the author was a different one (Yugoslavia), which I removed. When I looked up the diff to write to the author I came across your edit and saw "A serious project proposed by Slobodan Milošević in 1992", which is in fact part of the previous entry. So I wrote to the wrong author - you. My apologies for that. As for your inclusion of the Union of Sovereign States - which I did not remove -, I am not too sure whether it can be called a merger. I will open a discussion on the talk page. Regards, Rui &#39;&#39;Gabriel&#39;&#39; Correia (talk) 13:59, 24 September 2015 (UTC)

You need to update Aleppo map
You need to update the. Al-Nusra, along with other jihadi and islamist rebels, have attacked YPG positions in Sheikh Masqoud, and have been pushed back to the critical highway that ios the rebel supply route into Aleppo.

 * Er, yes, HCPUNXKID finally took his 'case' to the relevant talk page a few days later. I've only just encountered it. WP:ASPERSIONS and a diatribe is not making a case in any reasonable editor's lexicon. The ongoing levels of abusive language and assumption of bad faith (as well as 'cabals') by HCPUNXKID is designed to be coercive and divisive: the antithesis of collaborative, civil and productive editing. It's simply a perpetuation of unacceptable behaviour for which this editor has been blocked and topic banned time and time again. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 23:41, 17 October 2015 (UTC)

List of cities in Libya
Dear HCPUNXKID..I have already written the list of the cities of Libya by population, but ليبي صح distorted the list later only to make his hometown Al Bayda the fourth instead of the eighth!!! (original list is shown on the List's talk page). I have doubts myself with list, and expressed some of them in the sentence on the top of the list, but this is the only reliable source I found about these figures, since it had been depended on governmental data, and the government of Libya is unable to make another census because of the ongoing war there.

If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the file description page and add the text   below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing   with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
 * 2) On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item 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 creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

File permission problem with File:Emboirik, embajador saharahui.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Emboirik, embajador saharahui.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included.

Riau Archipelago
You tagged the Riau Archipelago section as vague, which it was. I have added some detail, while striving to maintain a neutral perspective. I'd appreciate it if you'd take a look and see if it needs more tweaking. If it does, a quick comment on its talk page, Talk:Riau Archipelago, would get my attention, and potentially allow other editors to weigh in if they get there first. Oh, by the way, it's helpful to add an edit summary along the lines of "tagged as vague" when making such as edit. Take care. --Bejnar (talk) 00:20, 23 November 2016 (UTC)

On tagging with "by whom"
In Men Going Their Own Way (MGTOW) you marked the phrase, "The movement has been described" with a "by whom" tag, when that line had a reliable source that gave that exact description. WP:WEASEL says, "views that are properly attributed to a reliable source may use similar expressions, if they accurately represent the opinions of the source." (emphasis in original) The line was pulled directly from the cited source, so this particular instance is not an example of weasel words. Please be careful when tagging such phrases in the future.

Usurped URL
I've used the url-status=usurped parameter on an edit you made: ;. This is a nice option recently added to standard ref parameters - the URL history is still available, but only by editing or viewing the wiki source. If you've used other mebriefing refs, then you might want to consider marking them as url-status=usurped; maybe ask for help at a Wikipedia bots page if you (or others) did many. Luckily, web.archive.org already had a valid backup. Boud (talk) 00:12, 1 November 2019 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Mis logo 1943.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Mis logo 1943.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 seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Adding original research
Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. Please do not add terms without reliable references stating them like you have here.. Resapp (talk) 18:10, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

Important Notice
Doug Weller talk 08:30, 19 November 2020 (UTC)

Despite the discussions above, after all these years you are still struggling with sources
Discussions at RSN have repeatedly said that allsides.com and mediabiasfactcheck are at best dubious sources, the latter being an amateur website, not sure about the former. And your link to allsides.com clearly said "Confidence Level:Low or Initial Rating" which makes it useless even if it were a reliable source. Doug Weller talk 16:48, 21 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Seems to me that you are closely watching my edits, huh?. Let me guess, Huffington Post or Mother Jones are reliable sources in comparison... And finally, I will continue struggling with the blatant, obvious bias in an increasing number of WP articles.--<font color="Purple">HC <font color="Gold">PUNX <font color="Purple">KID 17:51, 21 November 2020 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of File:Bassiri June 1970.jpg


The file File:Bassiri June 1970.jpg has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "File replaced with a copyright-free, File:Mohamed Bassiri in Egypt (cropped) (cropped).png on commons, removing the replaceability condition"

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

February 2022
Hello, I'm Firestar464. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Module:Russo-Ukrainian War detailed map, 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. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Would you mind citing said source? Firestar464 (talk) 11:19, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Module:Russo-Ukrainian War detailed map, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. ''Please update Cities and towns during the Russo-Ukrainian War before changing the map, with a properly formatted reference. URLs in edit summaries are insufficient as references on Wikipedia.'' ― Tartan357  Talk 11:42, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Module:Russo-Ukrainian War detailed map, you may be blocked from editing. ― Tartan357  Talk 11:43, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced or poorly sourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Module:Russo-Ukrainian War detailed map. ''An ANI report is next. This is a very sensitive issue and sourcing is critically important.'' ― Tartan357  Talk 11:46, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

@ Tartan357 Talk: I dont understand your behaviour. I aint added unsourced content, and there are several sources stating all the major cities in Sumy oblast are encircled by the russians. Even more, the source are the Ukrainian regional authorities. So please think again before making such accusations.--<font color="Purple">HC <font color="Gold">PUNX <font color="Purple">KID 11:55, 25 February 2022 (UTC)
 * You are incorrect about edit summaries being sufficient as citations. You need to read the module's documentation, specifically this section which states:"Every element on the map should be verifiable. Information on towns (description of control & sources) can be found by clicking on the town dot on the map. Notice the caption of the map which says: 'Hold cursor over location to display name; click to go to sources &/or status description." Those links go to Cities and towns during the Russo-Ukrainian War, where readers can verify the content. Putting URLs in edit summaries does not update that page, and therefore the content you are adding cannot be verified. I am now the second editor to explain this to you, and instead of simply doing it correctly, you have insisted on wasting everyone's time by edit-warring over it at the height of the conflict, potentially causing confusion for readers as you are putting the list out of sync with the map. ― Tartan357  Talk 12:02, 25 February 2022 (UTC)


 * @ Tartan357 Talk: OK, so you are deleting reliable sources (because we all agree that the sources I gave are reliable, isn't it?) just because of a shape defect, not because it was unreliable or partisan. I truly can't understand this, even when yesterday I saw other users adding info without any type of source. But I know, dont look at other editors work, blah, blah, blah. This is why people leave WP, logically.--<font color="Purple">HC <font color="Gold">PUNX <font color="Purple">KID 12:09, 25 February 2022 (UTC)
 * We have requirements for sourcing, and other editors not following them is not an excuse for an experienced editor such as yourself. It really isn't that hard, just do it right. I noticed you've previously been banned from editing Eastern Europe articles, which means I can take you directly to WP:AE if you continue, and I will. I really would prefer not to do that. These procedures have been honed over many years with the Syrian Civil War map. ― Tartan357  Talk 12:12, 25 February 2022 (UTC)
 * @ Tartan357 Talk: Perhaps we live in different dimensions, as I have been editing Syrian civil war detailed map for years and I never ever seen that procedures...--<font color="Purple">HC <font color="Gold">PUNX <font color="Purple">KID 12:15, 25 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Well, now you know. You are welcome to read the documentation for that, too... and the edit notice tells you to read it before editing that map. Wikipedia requires inline citations. These procedures were established because edit summaries ARE NOT inline citations. From the first paragraph of WP:CS: "Wikipedia's verifiability policy requires inline citations for any material challenged or likely to be challenged, and for all quotations, anywhere in article space." The simple fact is the reader cannot check where the information is coming from when you edit this way, which is a problem. ― Tartan357  Talk 12:18, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

@ Tartan357 Talk: Could you please tell me if it should be like this in order to edit in the map?: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cities_and_towns_during_the_Russo-Ukrainian_War#Sumy_Oblast. Thanks. --<font color="Purple">HC <font color="Gold">PUNX <font color="Purple">KID 12:32, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

Velykyi Burluk
Hi. I'm having trouble verifying to Control of cities during the Russo-Ukrainian War. In short, I don't see mention of Velykyi Burluk in the source, nor anything in the sections on Kharkiv which suggests its occupation. Please could you double-check the URL and, if it is correct, use the  parameter to make this easier for those who can't read Ukrainian to verify? (Note as well that the URL changes as you scroll down the page, which may be what's causing this issue.) — (talk) 21:47, 23 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Thanks for adding an additional reference. I am now highly confident that the changing URL as you scroll down Suspilne's pages is the reason the first URL (and at least one other you have used, specifically for Dobra Krynytsia) was incorrect – so watch out for that in future.
 * Since I have brought up Dobra Krynytsia, note that you can fill the table on the 'Control of cities' page (as opposed to adding a URL to the changelog of the detailed map module, despite the rules for editing the map) even if there is no English Wikipedia page for the settlement: you may leave columns blank for others to fill, or you can search on Ukrainian Wikipedia (which in my experience has always had a page for the settlement) and use an – although I appreciate that this latter option is more difficult if you are not used to working with Cyrillic. —  (talk) 23:34, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
