Balmont
Some of your edits were valid and valuable, others did lots of damage to the layout and spawned numerous red links. I tried to sort the mess out as best I could and ask you not to change the spelling of names and titles anymore, these are the established forms. -- Evermore2 (talk) 21:56, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
 * That's ridiculous. As it stands the entry on Konstantin Bal'mont is riddled with errors, inaccuracies, omissions, and ungrammatical sentences. It should follow the Library of Congress transliteration system throughout. You obviously are in no position to judge what is or is not a valid correction.
 * It has nothing to do with me or my position; I only follow the principle of consistency (see: WP:CONSISTENCY) which has it that the article titles should be "based on how reliable English-language sources refer to the article's subject" (which, in our case, may contradict the Library of Congress transliteration). That is why Shuya is apparently the established form, and Shuia isn't. Or do you disagree with this? Then the right way to go about it would be to visit the Talk:Shuya, Ivanovo Oblast and start the discussion there for the article to be renamed.
 * As for errors, inaccuracies, omissions, and ungrammatical sentences - well, you've corrected some and are welcome to continue. But mind you: every single statement in the article has a 'ref': is based upon a reliable source. If the facts stated in the sources at your disposal disagree with those used here, - again, there's a good cause for discussion, say, here. But certainly not for the sweeping changes that you've made recently... Except that, when you see something 'ungrammatical', of course, go ahead and correct the mistake, this would be much appreciated.
 * I can well understand your feelings and am very sorry to have caused some distress. Sure you're destined to become a great Wikipedian, just why not to start with some rules?) -- Evermore2 (talk) 19:57, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
