We need more editors who are willing to diversify views and edits on subjects connected to Russia and Ukraine. At the moment most articles are heavily laden with POV and more editors are needed to ensure NPOV is kept.--MyMoloboaccount (talk) 20:40, 31 March 2015 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Supreme soviet of Russia (1988).jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:Supreme soviet of Russia (1988).jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 11:04, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge and WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 02:33, 21 October 2016 (UTC)

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:09, 7 November 2016 (UTC)

so u also "work" at english wiki?
So the russian wiki is not enogh for you, you also have to come here to the english wiki? no problemos...212.90.182.118 (talk) 16:55, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
 * I don't "work" here (or on anywhere wiki). But, since you visited my talkpage, I'd like to ask: is there any source, which state that Sevastopol City Council was controlled by the Russian military on 6 March? I saw such sources for Supreme Council of Crimea and its 27/2/2014 vote, but for Sevastopol... That link, which purpotes to "confirm" that, is a) dated 22 March 2014 and b) doesn't say anything about Sevastopol City Council, so verification failed. --Seryo93 (talk) 18:09, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

Annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation‎
I have asked the IP-hopping editor to use the article talk page to justify his/her edits (see 113.92.129.144 and 113.92.128.36). Since you have reverted him/her twice, it would probably be best if you used the article talk page to explain why you believe that his/her edit should be reverted.-- Toddy1 (talk) 17:05, 28 December 2016 (UTC)

Kerch railway bridge
Hello Seryo. As you can see, I have done some edits to this article. I hope you approve.

On the ice damage: Do you know if this was pack ice or an ice floe?

And do you know of a map locating this bridge? It looks like the rail line went further south down the Chushka Spit than the present line and crossed to the remnant of the bridge in the strait marked by the coordinates, but it is not clear where it entered Crimea.

Best wishes, Kablammo (talk) 14:43, 28 December 2019 (UTC)
 * While I don't know exact entry point, the 1944-1945 bridge seem to having followed along Kerch Strait ferry line route (Port Krym railway station — Port Kavkaz railway station), per this link. Bests, and a happy New Year! --Seryo93 (talk) 07:20, 31 December 2019 (UTC)

Population of Russia Issue
I am only putting accurate information regarding the population, Russia has halted their decline and besides, the 35,000+ people lost were not mainly deaths, they fled the country and I saw there real population growth and the statement you added on the page is highly incorrect. I highly advise that you fix this at once, I sited these sources and I don't want to get into another dispute with you or anybody. Please cease this action and fix it, this is preposterous behavior and I'm trying to give the community good information. Once more, they are no longer declining. If you at least include a steady sign of the pages, it will be acceptable but the decline was countered. The death rates fell further in the last five years, please fix this.

Thanks IntercontinentalEmpire — Preceding unsigned comment added by IntercontinentalEmpire (talk • contribs) 11:50, 25 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Just stop your IDONTLIKEIT-driven vandalism. Whether deaths or emigration, it doesn't change the fact that there was a decrease of population. Time will tell whether such a decrease will contiune, but 2020 population as reported by official statistical agency of Russia is lower than 2019. And this is what reported by decrease sign. --Seryo93 (talk) 13:37, 25 February 2020 (UTC)

Warning
This is your only warning; if you vandalize Wikipedia again, as you did at Russia, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Pleas stop these actions immediately, I kindly ask this because I do put accurate information. Enough is enough now, cease in doing this or I will have no choice but to take action. — Preceding unsigned comment added by IntercontinentalEmpire (talk • contribs)
 * User:IntercontinentalEmpire is not an administrator and thus cannot block anyone. Rather, having read the discussion here, it's getting clear that IntercontinentalEmpire is the one who has been vandalising and is risking a block here. J I P  &#124; Talk 20:15, 25 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Just to clarify, I won't be blocking IntercontinentalEmpire unless he engages in further vandalism on the Russia article. He has been clearly warned already. J I P  &#124; Talk 22:57, 25 February 2020 (UTC)

Russian population
Look, I will not touch the page again but I want you to see something clearly. the 35,000 decline were not mainly deaths, they simply migrated away from the country. Their natural growth rate is slow but it's not declining. Therefore, it is halted. These projections are accurate according to the growth rate in the next 3-4 years. Even if they lose 35,000, they can still build it back up, it was only a hiccup in their growth rate. I'm trying to be as faithful and honest as possible, you may not think so but I assure you I am. Can you at least change the birth and death rate please? The population isn't necessarily dying, I promise to not touch the pages again if this is fixed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by IntercontinentalEmpire (talk • contribs) 20:45, 2 March 2020 (UTC)

 * , вы лучше WP:BRD на досуге перечитайте, а также WP:STATUSQUO. Да, цикл называется "bold - revert - discuss", а не "bold - revert - revert". Вашу правку отменили - значит переходим к обсуждению, а не ведём непрестанную войну правок. Тот факт, что лично вы не признаёте тот или иной символ не означает, что против него надо непременно вести "крестовый поход" - тем более, что, как вы могли заметить, тут, в enwiki, Крым тоже указан как спорная территория.

RM
Regarding this comment. Okay, even if I hadn’t addressed the issues you missed: what exactly about filing an RM, regardless of its merits, could warrant a threat of disciplinary actions? Asking sincerely. —Michael Z. 20:09, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
 * My concern was that disregard of historical context is the same issue that caused previous ban. But with regard to particular article most of this concern has been dispersed by the source provided, so as for that article possible move I no longer have principial objections. Bests --Seryo93 (talk) 12:30, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
 * You had a content disagreement with a proposal on a talk page. Jumping in to threaten a ban seems like an inappropriate and extreme overreaction to me, whether I had included a source or not. Am I missing something? —Michael Z. 14:21, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
 * That would be "at worst", in the case of strong and persistent disruption (similar to earlier case of claims that "no consensus means X variant" despite not uncertain statement to the contrary ("There is no consensus for either X or Y.") right in the preceding section), not necessary immediate effect. Still, "blind insistence" on "use X name for all cases, regardless of historical context, goes well against point 3 of WP:NCGN general guidelines, specially " unless there is a widely accepted historical English name for a specific historical context", and WP:NCGN, last paragraph. So, it is problematic, and thus sources and links are ought to be provided to prove that in historical context this or that variant is used. Battle of Lwów (1920) despite Lviv; and a similar possibility of "generally Donbas but in WWII [and perhaps other historical contexts] Donbass" was certainly not nil. Bests, --Seryo93 (talk) 17:39, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

I have struckthrough your comment on Talk:Russia because it is false beyond a reasonable doubt
Hello Seryo93. I don't have anything specifically against you, but I have decided to strikethrough the sentence wherein you said "In any case, the claim that 2014 event was the first annexation in the world since WWII is, indeed, not true.". The reason for this action is that your sentence is objectively false, because it misquotes @Mzajac as saying something that he didn't actually say. I've noticed that I myself have been writing walls of text largely in an effort to disprove your accusation, but I've basically already disproven your accusation within the first few sentences, and I have just been rambling about other topics after this point. For the benefit of other users who are coming to read this talk page segment, striking-through your comment makes it very clear that this sentence of yours is false. This helps to prevent the spread of misinformation or disinformation. If you have any objections to this action of mine, you should first state them here in this talk section. You are free to go and remove the strike-through ON THE CONDITION that you reword the sentence so that it is no longer objectively false. Otherwise, if you remove the strike-through and leave it as it is, then I am going to have to take this case to ANI. Thank you for your attention, and regards, JN. Jargo Nautilus (talk) 00:09, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

Here's the exact edit that I made wherein I added the strikethrough onto your comment. I believe that my edit summary was adequate. [1]. Jargo Nautilus (talk) 00:13, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

EDIT: To clarify, this is ANI. Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents. Jargo Nautilus (talk) 00:29, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

Note: It's occurred to me that Mzajac did at one point mention the "Category:Annexation" as a place where comparable situations could be found (comparable to Russia's various actions towards Ukraine). With that being said, he didn't precisely say that he was only talking about annexations. Rather, annexations was being presented as one part of a larger whole here, and not as the main topic of discussion. Jargo Nautilus (talk) 00:51, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

Proposed solution
Obviously, I've partially derailed the discussion myself with my own wall-of-text comments. My proposition to solve this problem is that BOTH of us remove our comments. So, you should remove your ENTIRE comment about annexations (because all of it is based around the misquotation of Mzajac), and I will remove all of the replies that I posted directly beneath your comment in question. Jargo Nautilus (talk) 00:55, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

^The one issue with this solution is that another user has replied lower down in the thread of comments in the meantime. But we will see how we can solve this once you reply to my requests here. Jargo Nautilus (talk) 00:57, 1 August 2022 (UTC)


 * @Jargo Nautilus, @Seryo93, please let’s pause and take a breath. Thanks for sticking up for me, but I don’t think this is necessary. I feel Seryo93 misinterpreted my comment, and that’s been addressed in the discussion. This does not look like a disciplinary matter to me. Peace. —Michael Z. 03:22, 1 August 2022 (UTC)


 * The reason for starting this discussion is that I've struck-through Seryo93's comment with good reason, and I intend to keep it that way. This discussion is supposed to prepare for any retaliatory actions. Jargo Nautilus (talk) 03:47, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

Involvement of user ChipmunkDavis
I predicted something like this would happen, although I never specifically mentioned it in my statements above. User:Chipmunkdavis has manually reverted my edit without a good reason, in spite of the clear reasoning that I gave. At this stage, I can't charge Seryo93 because they haven't done anything wrong. The charge effectively lies with CMD. However, I will give CMD the benefit of the doubt and make them aware of this discussion. If they show defiance, then I will take this incident to ANI. There is only one problem that I have, and that's that there's an objectively false sentence involving a misquotation of another user that I would like to see either struck-through or removed. Jargo Nautilus (talk) 11:36, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
