GBurl
Please stop replacing Google Books URLs inside citation templates with. That template is not at all designed for use inside such templates, [ Edit: Unlike any other "URL encapsulation" utility template, this one's documentation actually does suggest using it inside cite templates! FFS.] and doing that is not even slightly helpful. All it does is greatly impede the ability of editors to fact-check our articles by "hiding" the URLs, while at the time time increasing the template/transclusion count and parser load on the article page. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  19:17, 15 September 2023 (UTC)


 * @SMcCandlish I made just one edit, which involved replacing Google Books URLs within citation templates with GBurl. Following your reasoning, why didn't you consider nominating this template for deletion? Kpratter (talk) 19:23, 15 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Oh, I have.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  19:31, 15 September 2023 (UTC)
 * After revisiting your arguments, I have finally decided to support deletion as well. Kpratter (talk) 07:49, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

Hi. Please note that due to WP:GS/RUSUKR, as you are not extended confirmed (<500 edits), you are unable to make edits to articles with content about Russia-Ukraine war (broadly construed). Thanks. Mellk (talk) 13:36, 29 September 2023 (UTC)

Administrative divisions of Russia
You emptied the category out of process. On top of it, I am not sure you understand the difference between municipal and administrative divisions. Please revert everything back (including Wikidata) and start discussions. Ymblanter (talk) 18:59, 2 October 2023 (UTC)


 * ✅. I am aware of the difference between municipal and administrative divisions in Russia. I'm still not sure that separate is needed. For example many of  describe both administrative division and municipal division in the same article. @Ymblanter Kpratter (talk) 07:09, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you. WP:CFD is the way to solve these issues. Ymblanter (talk) 07:12, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
