Famous people
Hi. How are these people famous? There is no article about either of them and no external sources. Thx. El_C 10:29, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh, and you're adding that same person who has no article as link to many other city articles — that's not right. Also, you're adding red-linked (non-articles, articles-yet-to-be=written) Ukraine-related links to articles which either need an explanation (Civil Code), or simply ones that are too broad to have links to country-specific ones (in the See also, having hundreds of entries for every country). Sorry. Thx. El_C 10:33, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
 * At this point, it seems you are systemically promoting this individual. Please cease this activity; it is not permitted. Thanks again. El_C 10:42, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
 * If you keep adding that person to articles you will be restricted from making further edits. El_C 12:55, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Civil Code of Ukraine
A tag has been placed on Civil Code of Ukraine requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Conflict of interest warning
If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
 * 1) editing articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
 * 2) participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors;
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam);
 * and you must always:
 * 1) avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially neutral point of view, verifiability, and autobiography.

Image copyright problem with Image:Nikolay Ivanovich Dzubenko professor,Vavilov Institute.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Nikolay Ivanovich Dzubenko professor,Vavilov Institute.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like PD-self (to release all rights), (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

Flag of Ukraine + Dalmatia
Olaffpomona, any reason why the flag of Ukraine article should contain the flag of Dalmatia infobox? Yes, the flags are nearly identical, but I've got no big stake in this issue except for the readability of the article (I'm guessing, though not sure, that there may be an official Wikipedia guideline on the use of infoboxes that supports my action). Also, since you reverted my edit I'm curious to know why you found it important to do so. Thanks. Miranche (talk) 00:07, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
 * multiple Infoboxes crowd the page;
 * there seems to be no historically relevant connection between the flags, so it seems sufficient to mention Dalmatia under "See also" and perhaps note the similarity at some point in the article.


 * Thanks for the reply! If what you say is the case, there may really be a historical connection between the flags of Ukraine and Dalmatia. The problem is, right now the flag of Ukraine article doesn't mention it even in passing -- your reply to me is the only information I have about this.  Could you add this info to the article?  It would be good (though not immediately necessary) for it to be sourced -- for example, if you could find a link to a newspaper article where a historian speculates on the connection.  Otherwise the Dalmatian infobox just hangs there without any discernible reason. Miranche (talk)

WikiProject Economics census
Hello there. Sorry to bother you, but you are (titularly at least) a member of WP:WikiProject Economics, as defined by this category. If you don't know me, I'm a Wikipedia administrator, but an unqualified economist. I enjoy writing about economics, but I'm not very good at it, which is why I would like to support in any way I can the strong body of economists here on Wikipedia. I'm only bothering you because you are probably one of them. Together, I'd like us to establish the future direction of WikiProject Economics, but first, we need to know who we've got to help.

Whatever your area of expertise or level of qualification, if you're interested in helping with the WikiProject (even if only as part of a larger commitment to this wonderful online encyclopedia of ours), would you mind adding your signature to this page? It only takes a second. Thank you.

You added a link to the page at South Ossetia. However, on the page, it says he was born and lived in North Ossetia. Can you please explain why he should be listed at South Ossetia? As a separate matter, it is better to made such additions in prose form instead of lists. --Xeeron (talk) 12:00, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

Please merge your accounts in all Wikipedias
Hi,

I have noticed that you are using accounts  in different Wikipedias but you have not merged them into a global account yet. Global accounts become mandatory since 15 April 2015, and all non-merged accounts will be renamed.

As of now, most likely you have accounts  in other projects, notably in Ukrainian Wikipedia, which are not merged with your global account. Please click on Special:MergeAccount and finish the unification process. You can check the state of your account unification at Special:CentralAuth/

If you don't merge your accounts by 15 April, your accounts (in Wikipedias other than English) can be renamed.

If you have questions you can ask them on my talk page. Best regards — NickK (talk) 23:44, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Hello, I'm MrX. I wanted to let you know that one or more external links you added to Sanford, Florida have been removed because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you. - MrX 16:27, 18 October 2017 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you insert a spam link, as you did at Orlando, Florida. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted, preventing anyone from linking to them from all Wikimedia sites as well as potentially being penalized by search engines. - MrX 18:27, 18 October 2017 (UTC)


 * For the record, this user did the same spam additions at Commons. — billinghurst  sDrewth  07:24, 19 October 2017 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:O.A.Dzubenko b.04.06.1961 Simferopol.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:O.A.Dzubenko b.04.06.1961 Simferopol.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. 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 in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Randykitty (talk) 12:20, 17 December 2018 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of File:Nikolay Dzubenko professor.jpg


The file File:Nikolay Dzubenko professor.jpg has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Unused file, out of scope on Commons, so should not be transferred."

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.
