Your recent bold edit has been reverted. Per the bold, revert, discuss cycle, after a bold edit is reverted, the status quo should remain while a discussion is started instead of edit-warring, and it should be resolved before reinstating the edit, after a needed consensus is formed to keep it.

WP:NPOV
Honestly, is it that you decline to read and understand these policies, or is it that you do not care about them? NPOV holds that *"Avoid stating opinions as facts. Usually, articles will contain information about the significant opinions that have been expressed about their subjects. However, these opinions should not be stated in Wikipedia's voice. Rather, they should be attributed in the text to particular sources, or where justified, described as widespread views, etc. For example, an article should not state that "genocide is an evil action", but it may state that "genocide has been described by John So-and-so as the epitome of human evil."" *"Avoid stating seriously contested assertions as facts. If different reliable sources make conflicting assertions about a matter, treat these assertions as opinions rather than facts, and do not present them as direct statements."

 * Please give me and example of an edit by me where I am guilty of the above. Jabbi (talk) 20:59, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from International Ice Hockey Federation into History of the International Ice Hockey Federation. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g.,. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted copied template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was moved, attribution is not required. — Diannaa (talk) 15:16, 30 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Thanks Diannaa for pointing that out. I have not moved content within the English Wikipedia like this before and was not aware that such attribution was necessary when material is moved around. I will supply such a copied to the talk page. I wonder if I could ask you to weigh in on the rather heated discussion about an unrelated issue on International Ice Hockey Federation about whether a Controversy section is justified discussing IIHF cooperation with Lukashenko's regime in Belarus, see Talk:International Ice Hockey Federation. --Jabbi (talk) 18:36, 30 January 2021 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Alexander Zaytsev (business man)
Hello Jabbi,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Alexander Zaytsev (business man) for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly indicate why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=&action=edit&section=new&preload=Template:Hangon_preload&preloadtitle=This+page+should+not+be+speedy+deleted+because...+ contest this deletion], but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

Nomination of Alexander Zaytsev (businessman) for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Alexander Zaytsev (businessman) is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/Alexander Zaytsev (businessman) until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Hatchens (talk) 03:34, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

Please note that the Biographies of living persons policy applies to Articles for Deletion discussions, in relation to the above article - if you wish to present allegations concerning criminality at any venue, they must be supported by multiple reliable sources which themselves directly state the article subject is accused of criminality. You cannot use sources to build your own case alledging criminality - that additionally violates our policy on no original research. I've accordingly removed and deleted one comment you have left. Nick (talk) 14:49, 6 March 2021 (UTC)


 * , I believe you have overeacted, being a "wallet" is not a crime. It just means you have political favour. Could you explain what criminality exactly you believe I have made allegations with in regards to the above article? --Jabbi (talk) 15:18, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
 * this response is not leaving me hopeful that you understand WP:BLP. Merging BLP violating material (which appears to already exist on the article you referenced in your comment and needs to be removed) into another BLP is unacceptable and I'd advise you to stop digging this hole, as you've already been notified of discretionary sanctions above, the next step may possibly be a block or topic ban. I'm really encouraging you to drop the WP:STICK. CUPIDICAE💕  15:50, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
 * I have dropped the stick. There is no allegation of criminality to my knowledge. If you have further concerns, feel free to instigate whatever process you believe is in accordance with the facts of the matter. --Jabbi (talk) 15:52, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
 * &, I believe the term in the domain is politically exposed person. --Jabbi (talk) 16:03, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Jabbi, I have reverted you again on the other article - do not continue to re-add contested material about a BLP that is poorly sourced. You must get consensus on the talk page. CUPIDICAE💕  16:22, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
 * You are very in the wrong here. The cited sources state the facts on the article. You can not remove content with out arguing why exactly. There is nothing controversial about the content on the page about Viktor Lukashenko. --Jabbi (talk) 16:26, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Jabbi, I'm really trying not to escalate this so I'm giving you the opportunity to revert it so it can be discussed on the talk page rather than taking this to ANI or BLPN as it will likely result in a block of your account. I think you're having trouble understanding the BLP policy that is at play here. Contentious material about living persons (or, in some cases, recently deceased) that is unsourced or poorly sourced—whether the material is negative, positive, neutral, or just questionable—should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion.[1] Users who persistently or egregiously violate this policy may be blocked from editing. from WP:BLP. Again, please revert yourself or I will be left with no choice but to take this to the appropriate board. CUPIDICAE💕  16:30, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
 * CUPIDICAE, you have not made clear what you find problematic with the content you have tried to remove without cause in the article about Viktor Lukashenko, I find your behaviour very arrogant and without proper process, there is nothing in the talk page, if you do yourself not relent in your vandalism, I will have to report you. --Jabbi (talk) 16:37, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
 * I will grant you that inclusion under the Accusations and EU sanctions section is unwarranted. I've moved it up. This is something you could have done yourself, rather than remove it. --Jabbi (talk) 16:48, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
 * If you insist on inserting BLP violations, making egregious personal attacks and violating WP:3RR, I can't really help you. You need to stop and discuss it. The onus is on you, not me when it comes to contentious material in or about a BLP. This is a final warning. CUPIDICAE💕  16:50, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Content has been moved from that section. Onus is on you to explain what the problem is. --Jabbi (talk) 16:51, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
 * It seems you're unwilling to read WP:BLP which clearly states the onus is on you when including contentious information which we've discussed here, in edit summaries, in another AFD and on the talk page of the article. Any further conversations will happen at the 3rr discussion or an ANI thread about your editing of BLPs. CUPIDICAE💕  16:56, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
 * That's fine. Thank you. --Jabbi (talk) 17:01, 6 March 2021 (UTC)

Can you explain, in detail (and with sources) what the term "wallet" means, and in what sense you use it here on Wikipedia ? Nick (talk) 17:02, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
 * As you might be aware of there are multiple sanctions against Belarus. As you might also be aware of there is very restricted freedoms in Belarus and those who rise to the top in business or other domains are generally seen to be in the authorities' favour. The article you seem to find fault with talks (in a Google translation about "wallets") in that article it is just about any notable businessman in Belarus who, taking my second point into consideration, is in his position because of Lukashenko. The article therefore is encouraging increased political sanctions against those in power in Belarus, specifically businessmen, who prop up Lukashenko's regime. This does not indicate anything illegal and is again, a Google translation (you can have a look at Navalny's documentary for a comparison with Russia). The more academic term politically exposed person refers to the same thing,

Standard setters generally agree that PEPs are individuals who are, or have been, entrusted with prominent public functions, such as heads of state or government. The standard setters and a considerable number of jurisdictions also expect financial institutions to treat a prominent public official’s family and close associates as PEPs. 

Does that satisfy your question? --Jabbi (talk) 18:18, 6 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Not really. I asked for a description of the term "wallets" supported by reliable sources, you've moved to discussing politically exposed persons (and in doing so, you've linked to a Senate report entitled "Foreign Corruption Report" which is, of course, interesting). You've used the term "wallets" repeatedly and I want an explanation supported by reliable sources of what it means and the context in which you've been using it. Nick (talk) 18:25, 6 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Re-read the discussion if you are having trouble understanding. The original reference to "wallets" comes from a Google translation of this opinion article encouraging indiscriminate political sanctions against powerful business people. I clarified for your understanding that the academic term for what the author in that article is describing is "politically exposed person". So, in that article "wallet" refers to anyone powerful in business in Belarus because therefore him or her must have political approval from Lukashenko. --Jabbi (talk) 18:32, 6 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Apologies, I seem to have copy pasted the incorrect url. The senate report I was looking at is irrelevant to this discussion. Perhaps this makes more sense. --Jabbi (talk) 22:17, 6 March 2021 (UTC)

International Ice Hockey Federation
Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle 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 you 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 do not violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly..18abruce (talk) 21:30, 30 May 2021 (UTC)

Small note
Saw your comment on the RfC at Talk:Critical race theory, where you said "critical theory, of which critical race theory is a sub-category (I hope I am safe to assume)". This note does not really matter, but it may interest you (and I imagine it does because of your parenthetical): CRT was not originally a part of critical theory, but instead emerged from legal studies (practicing lawyers and scholars in law), while critical theory emerged with the Frankfurt school and others in around 1930 (philosophers).

Crenshaw says that it is part of critical theory, but at the risk of going on a soapbox, I don't think she's correct. Critical theorists generally don't think so, either, from what I have read. (But that's not to say anything negative about her - maybe she's using the term differently than we are.)

This doesn't matter because your point wasn't actually about it being a part of critical theory, just a look at parallel wording in a close field. So this is a useless note - but thought you'd be interested. Ultimately, this is a point of contention. Urve (talk) 07:53, 18 July 2021 (UTC)

BLP topic ban
Hi Jabbi, I hope you're well despite the circumstances. Yesterday I closed your AN appeal having seen consensus to essentially reset your one year topic ban. My apologies for having forgot to inform you immediately. For clarity, the community has banned you from making any edits anywhere on Wikipedia that concern a living person or recently deceased person until at least 26 July 2022. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have about the ban, and I hope you enjoy editing other topics on the encyclopedia in the mean time. — Wug·a·po·des​ 20:36, 27 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi . I am well despite the circumstances thank you. It's good to retain perspective, I live in the first world don't I. Yes, I can indeed edit other topics and I will do so for the next year or so, at least. --Jabbi (talk) 14:44, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Quick question, I want to suggest the merging of Soft Belarusization with Belarusization. However, the article contains information about a living person. Am I then allowed to suggest it but not allow to merge it? --Jabbi (talk) 15:45, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Personally, I would be cautious and avoid anything that even seems close to dealing with living people. Your topic ban includes talk pages as well as articles, so even discussing aspects of articles that involve living people can be considered a violation. That said, looking at the articles, I would be surprised if people took issue with you suggesting a merger. As long as you do not talk about the living people involved in the topic and stick to how combining the articles will benefit readers, I think you can stay on the right side of the line. It will help if you simply propose a merger and then leave it to others to discuss and implement since that will minimize the chance of accidental violations. I hope that helps. — Wug·a·po·des​ 19:33, 28 July 2021 (UTC)

Note
This is the second time I’m asking you to comment on the subject, not my humble person. The first time was after you wrote: You are being embarrassing, then --> You should consider yourself lucky you won't be topic banned. Then you wrote something that appears to be an insinuation that I’m accusing someone in the discussion about something --> Would you mind stating clearly who you accuse of what exactly? There will be no third time. I would also like to remind you (The notice was given to you on 6 March 20210) that there is an administrative ruling in effect in this topic area. Thank you. - GizzyCatBella  🍁  15:58, 30 September 2022 (UTC)


 * It's a good thing that you are here to ask for clarification, and, although I was well aware of it, thank you for reminding me that there is an administrative ruling in effect in this topic area. It is in order to contextualise the above quotations.
 * When I responded to you that your responses were embarrassing it was because I had clearly pointed out to you an, where you widened the scope of a statement about Bandera's personal responsibility of the Holocaust in Ukraine, to be the Holocaust in general, was in my view a serious violation of WP:SYNTH . Moreover, that statement was in the lede with no material in the article content to support it (no mentions of Holocaust whatsover). We can speculate on why you did that and find some arguments along the lines of you trying to improve the accuracy of the statement - but at the end of the day no source cited nor content in article main body supported the statement.
 * Rather than accept that, . I then proceeded to elaborate clearly my position. Your immediate response was to reject what I said immediately,.
 * My response to that was to . I hope you can see where this is going. You seemingly did not understand the connection between my recommendation to take more care and the fact that you had edited the article a few weeks earlier to introduce a grossly incorrect statement with a very serious accusation.
 * When I said you were embarrassing it was a reference to the fact that you then, and seemingly still, are unwilling or unable to admit that. Unless there is some sort of gigantic misunderstanding here between us, and we are talking over each other, then I don't see how it is not embarrassing.
 * Fast forward a bit and says "Bandera's OUN issued instructions for it's members to join auxiliary police etc, etc. But we have a new editor claiming that Bandera had nothing in common with this." (apologies if the quote is not stylised the way you like it) my question was simply if this refers to a Wikipedia Editor? If so, is it not an accusation? I genuinely don't understand fully what you meant and simply asked for an explanation. I am at a loss why you feel personally offended. Having said that, I find that your behaviour is verging on harassment and would encourage you to take a step back, have a cup of tea, etc. --Jabbi (talk) 16:44, 30 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I would encourage both of you to avoid anything that could be interpreted, even indirectly, as an accusation, or as a comment on the other person. @Jabbi you shouldn't call other editors embarassing and I think it would be best to apologise for saying that, also read WP:NPA Tristario (talk) 23:38, 30 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Thank you, that's sound advice. --Jabbi (talk) 10:51, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
