Kiev
Wikipedia uses the English spelling of Kiev. Please see the discussion of the issue at Talk:Kiev/naming. Laszlo Panaflex (talk) 23:53, 22 August 2019 (UTC)

Answer to Laszlo Panaflex
"English spelling" - come on, I have read enough of WP editor/administrator pages to clearly understand what WP is using:D Just look on what one of WP administrators (Ymblanter, russian guy, OF COURSE!!!) bases his opinions:

Concerning Ukraine, the naming is done "on consensus":
All names "reflects the most used English name" (bulshit).

Question of WP user
In Ukraine, the official language is Ukrainian only. Russian, Romanian and Hungarian do not have any, regional or official status. Please return my edits. Also today, the US Council on Geographical Names unanimously supported the decision to replace the official name of the capital of Ukraine from "Kiev" to "Kyiv" in an international base. The Embassy of Ukraine in the USA reports this on Facebook. We will seek to rename the article on Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vitaliyf261 (talk • contribs) 20:59, 12 June 2019 (UTC)

Ymblanter's answer

 * You are already seeking this for years and so far failed miserably. You may want to look at Talk:Kiev/naming. Wikipedia operates on the basis of consensus, see WP:CONSENSUS, not on the basis of the opinion of the Ukrainian government. The current consensus is to keep Russian names.--Ymblanter (talk) 21:05, 12 June 2019 (UTC)

Concerning russian owned Japanese islands, the talk is different:
All names are taken from Russian, because Kuril islands are located in russia.

Question of WP user

 * If you found some of my edits an issue with you, you could have reverted that and explain the reasons as to why, so I could better understand it. But you probably decided that was too much work for you. Instead, you decided to revert the entire edit outright, reverse all the work, and threaten to block me. So much for assuming good faith. - Ineedtostopforgetting (talk) 08:45, 8 June 2019 (UTC)

Ymblanter's answer

 * Would you please stop playing an idiot? Kunashir is located in Russia. All countries except Japan recognize this, and therefore the principal names of localities and geographic features located on Kuril Islands are taken from Russian, not from Japanese. Moving articles from Russian names to Japanese names is disruption. (Japanese names were already in the articles, for the record). Adding info about smth currently located in "Kunashiri, Japan" is disruption. You perfectly know this. If you do it once again, I will block your account. Is this sufficiently clear?--Ymblanter (talk) 08:51, 8 June 2019 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Principality of Kiev 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.

ANI topic
I opened an ANI topic about your behavior, Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents--Ymblanter (talk) 11:25, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
 * T0mk0us, you made, where you accuse two editors of harassing you "just because [you are] pro Ukraine", almost immediately after my warning. As such, I am about to block for tendentious editing and casting aspersions. Salvio 19:34, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

September 2020
You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for tendentious editing and casting aspersions. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:. Salvio 19:35, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

I request my unblock, since I never did any damage or disruptive editing to Wikipedia. the block is no longer necessary because I understand what I have been blocked for. I will not continue to cause damage or disruption, and will make useful contributions instead, as I always did


 * I understand that I was blocked for the disruptive editing of articles related to the capital of Ukraine Kyiv. iI tryed to edit/move articles having Kiev to Kyiv.
 * I will not do this anymore before consensus;
 * I will not attack any user concerning their pro-russian or other preferences
 * I will not doing any disruptive edits which are not approved by consensus.

T0mk0us (talk) 21:20 pm, Today (UTC−4)
 * Your appeal lacks credibility. At 20:58 UTC you wrote "I will not attack any user concerning their pro-russian or other preferences", then at 21:56 you stated "I have been blocked by users wo are anti-Ukranian". Admins know when accounts are just feeding us what they think we want to hear and will decline such insincere appeals.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 22:06, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
 * As you are continuing with your attacks on others, I have revoked your ability to edit this talk page. You can use WP:UTRS, but you will lose access to that too if you do not change your approach to interaction with others. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 22:58, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

@RickinBaltimore How am I supposed to appeal my block, if I am asked to show that I understand what I was blocked for, and explain that I will not do this anymore, then, when I do this, an editor simply says that I am restating what they want to hear and decline my appeal? What more details do you need? You know very well, that if I repeat a disruptive behavior in future, I will be blocked for good. And I know it as well. So, why do you think that I will not adhere to WP guidelines and policies? It is not in my interest to not adhere. T0mk0us (talk) 21:11, 27 September 2020 (UTC)

Block appeal

 * First of all, it doesn't matter what Ymblanter said. We're not talking about Ymblanter here; we're talking about you.  Second, one way to get unblocked without an admin saying "you're just telling us what we want to hear" is to agree to a topic ban on Kiev/Kyiv.  That means you wouldn't be able to edit any page about that city or move pages related to Kiev/Kyiv to different spellings.  It would prove that you're here to do other stuff than argue about the spelling of a city. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 20:32, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

@NinjaRobotPirate Thanks for a wonderful advice! I agree to a topic ban on Kiev/Kyiv. Please, ban me from this topic. I will be happy (honestly) because it will avoid another conflicts for me. I have many other subjects on Ukraine that I can bring to WP.
 * how does that sound? Any objection to unblocking with a topic ban? NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 00:13, 29 September 2020 (UTC)
 * We can try, under understanding that return to casting aspersions or other disruptive behavior will result in the restoration of a block.--Ymblanter (talk) 05:26, 29 September 2020 (UTC)
 * , I am not overly optimistic, but I am willing to give it a try. Salvio 07:11, 29 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you all.T0mk0us (talk) 16:36, 29 September 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for your explanation. I just cheked, and while the page "Kyiv", does not have an Edit tab available, other pages about Kiev, like f.ex. "Iziaslav I of Kiev" are accessible for Editing. Does that mean, that if, I edit by mistake something on a such Kiev related page, even if it is not related to the name of the city, I will be blocked again? T0mk0us (talk) 21:24, 29 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Sorry, your notification didn't work, and I didn't notice your question until now. See Help:Notifications – our implementation is a bit counter-intuitive.  Kyiv is under extended confirmed protection, which is probably why you can't edit it.  Nobody can edit that page unless they've made 500 edits to English Wikipedia.  Generally, the software won't stop you from editing pages related to your topic ban.  If it's obvious that you accidentally violated the topic ban, you'll probably get a warning/reminder.  But you should take care to avoid editing pages directly related to Kyiv.  If a page has "Kyiv" or "Kiev" in the name, that's probably a bad sign. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 02:03, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
