Hello, I'm Firefangledfeathers. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Soviet partisans have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. Firefangledfeathers (talk) 16:44, 19 October 2021 (UTC)

Hello, Firefangledfeathers I disagree. What is the promotion? why promotion? I am a local historian and spend a lot of time and effort for free so as not to take the material that I have collected to my grave. I work in archives and collect invaluable historical material there for study. What does the promotion have to do with it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Irena Poplavska (talk • contribs) 16:51, 19 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi Irena Poplavska, please remember to sign your talk page posts with four tildes at the end. Thank you for your efforts to document and share history. Please review our policies and guidelines on external links and the use of YouTube. I think regardless of any promotional concerns, the links you added would be inappropriate. That said, I was concerned to see that the video descriptions include Patreon and PayPal links. Firefangledfeathers (talk) 17:13, 19 October 2021 (UTC)

I understand that you want to promote your own youtube films, but we can not accept youtube as a reliable source. I will remove all the references.--Ymblanter (talk) 08:38, 12 December 2021 (UTC)


 * I don't want to promote anything. I am a local historian and my channel will never be commercial. I just make historical videos so that it doesn't disappear, because they are all based on historical facts. Let people listen and learn history. I also make English subtitles so that English speakers can learn about the history of Ukraine. That's all. You can't do commerce in local history, it's all a pure hobby.

 * This is fine, but unfortunately we still can not cite them as sources as they are self-published. You can add a link to the channel in the External links section, I would be fine with that, but we will eventually need some peer-review sources for the statements.--Ymblanter (talk) 09:57, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you. Since I am a local historian, but I work in archives, and I write about small villages, while history scientists do not deal with them. They love bright large-scale events. But in my videos, I always include sources. Always. My videos are full of sources Irena Poplavska (talk) 10:20, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Sure. You probably have read our policy on reliable sources. I deeply appreciate the work of people who deal with archives, but the archive documents are, in our language, primary sources, we can not cite them either. Any publication, in any peer-reviewed journal/magazine, would be ok.--Ymblanter (talk) 10:27, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
