Ross Ulbricht
Hello, you have removed the link to Ross Ulbricht's Twitter which I have added. Can you explain it a bit more why you have removed it ? Emil Engler (talk) 12:49, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
 * I believe we don't generally link to Twitter accounts in the infobox or external links section, per WP:ELNO. Normally it would be ok to include a link to one "official website" owned by the article subject. I believe he has a website that qualifies as that, and that it would be ok to include it as an external link. --Tataral (talk) 00:09, 24 February 2019 (UTC)

Your proposal on the MJ restructure
Salut Tataral, have just seen your proposal on the restructure of the Jackson article. I'd suggest listing all subsections under Life and Career and Artistry rather than just saying there are 10 and 5 sub-sections under each. The way it's presented now could give the appearance that the Allegations section would get more prominence in the article than in actuality. Cheers. Oska (talk) 23:52, 7 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I see your point. I'll do that. --Tataral (talk) 20:44, 8 March 2019 (UTC)

Nomination of Brexit (cat) for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Brexit (cat) is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/Brexit (cat) until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Fram (talk) 10:26, 19 March 2019 (UTC)

Anti-fascism articles
I have some pretty serious concerns about your spate of recent edits to the anti-fascism article set. Frankly these massive additions seem an awful lot like an attempt to coatrack an article series of significant current relevance to modern politics into an airing of grievances over something that happened in a country that no longer exists, long ago. There's also issues of WP:DUE and WP:WEASEL with these edits - which your refusal to listen at our point of first contact, Antifa (United States) did little to dispel.

I would very much like to caution you to go to article talk, propose your changes, make your case, and then let other people (and certainly not just myself) have a say before attempting to systematically rewrite the history of resistance to fascism. Simonm223 (talk) 13:39, 31 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I caution you against massive blanking/deletion of sourced content that you don't like. If you have any issues with any of the content you need to bring it up specifically on the talk page and state your reason there instead of blanking content. Your previous revert-warring to reintroduce an outdated source instead of a better one is one example of unacceptable behaviour. So far your only activity in connection with the article on post WWII-Antifa movements has been revert-warring withour even familiarising yourself with the content and article history --Tataral (talk) 14:15, 31 July 2019 (UTC)


 * You were very WP:BOLD. Per WP:BRD having identified multiple problems with your bold edits, I reverted them and started a discussion. The issue with regard to the German source was because I didn't notice that the same words had a different date on them. As I mentioned at the time. Now. Discuss your edits and seek consensus. Because this spree isn't good practice. Simonm223 (talk) 14:17, 31 July 2019 (UTC)
 * No, you, an editor with no history of contributing to the article in a constructive manner, do not hold a veto over all my edits, to a short article that is at a very undeveloped stage. If you have any objection to any specific content you need to state your reason on the talk page, and we can talk. --Tataral (talk) 14:19, 31 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I think you can safely assume that if an article touches on antifascism I've at least been watching it. And my not having been active on it for a while doesn't mean I can't revert an obviously WP:NPOV violating major revision. So again, simply, discuss your edits on article talk and get a diversity of opinions. Simonm223 (talk) 14:20, 31 July 2019 (UTC)

July 2019
Your recent editing history at Antifaschistische Aktion‎; 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 don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. Doug Weller talk 14:22, 31 July 2019 (UTC)

July 2019
You currently appear to be 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. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. You need to review WP:BRD your edits were reverted and discussions set up at talk. Go to talk and discuss rather than edit warring. Simonm223 (talk) 14:23, 31 July 2019 (UTC)
 * 1) Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

I have sent you a note about a page you started

Bernie Sanders
Hello. I'm 直蔵 from Japan. In your edit of Bernie Sanders citing The Times of Israel, there is a word "dramatically" in the citation. However, when I look into the source now, there is no word in his remark. Can you check by yourself and if confirmed, remove the word please? Or, if there is another source to have the word, please add it as well. I have no right to edit on the page. The citation is now moved into "Foreign relations" in the same section. Thank you. --直蔵 (talk) 08:49, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
 * An editor added another source to confirm the word. The problem has been solved. --直蔵 (talk) 13:54, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

You made a mess of Talk:Post-World War II anti-fascism
by moving your comments out of a discussion, leaving Rupert Loup's replies to you confusing. See WP:TALK. Doing this was disruptive and confused me completely until I looked at the edit history. Please don't do it again, consider this an only warning on this issue. Doug Weller talk 12:19, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
 * No I didn't, I left them in the original section where the discussion was started, and where they belong, not in some year-old unrelated section on a different text that is long gone. I moved the entire discussion to the most recent section dealing with the current text, but he edit-warred because he objected to his comments being moved, so only then I moved my comments only to the correct section because I didn't feel inclined to edit-war with him over his comments. If his replies look meaningless, it's entirely his own fault, and he is free to comment in the section that is actually dealing with the current article at any time. Bring it up with him. --Tataral (talk) 13:11, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

Scribid
Hello Tataral, I am aware that you may very well be immersed into your own current wiki-concerns, but I would really appreciate if you could spare few minutes of your time to release that one article with Vladan's Petković interview from Norwegian paper, which you uploaded on Scribid (article - link to your upload), from their "Premium Content policy", so that article can be read in full without need for upload-for-download requirement, which is condition for both download and full availability for reading. At this moment only portion of the document is available for reading, namely the first page, while the second page isn't, unless reader contribute/upload five(!) documents himself, which is horribly annoying, but more importantly could be used as an argument against interview's usage as a source in Wikipedia article, where you intended to be used in the first place (Boris Malagurski). This shouldn't take you too much time, you just need to open your Scribid "Account Settings" and scroll down, you will see section "Document Upload Settings" at the very bottom with "Reader Access" setting where you need to place button to "on" position (it gets blue-green). This should make that interview fully available for reading, and nobody could reject it for any reasons if we decide to use it as a source for reference. Thanks, in any case.-- ౪ Santa ౪ 99°  21:17, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I don't have access to that account with Petković' article any longer. I got tired of the Malagurski article which is clearly a promotional autobiography where any attempt to balance the article is immediately reverted. --Tataral (talk) 23:10, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks anyway - I am sorry, I haven't got an alert on your reply here at all, so I couldn't thank you earlier, and yes, I understand exactly what you are talking about, but we will sort it out that issue now, sooner rather than later, anyway. Stay safe and take care.-- ౪ Santa ౪ 99°  03:46, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

The TerraMar Project and Ghislaine Maxwell
Greetings Tataral, The recent revisions you made to the pages for The TerraMar Project and Ghislaine Maxwell state that Epstein and Maxwell founded Terra Mar, not just Maxwell. This statement may well be true but it concerns me that it is currently unsupported in each of the articles, absent a citation to a reliable source or sources. Can you kindly clarify where this content has come from by adding a citation (or citations) after the statements you added to each lede? Best Regards, Cedar777 (talk) 05:17, 7 July 2020 (UTC)

Numbering of german chancellors
Hey Tataral! :) Please note that I have answered you on the Chancellor of Germany-talk page, in order to provide evidence that counting office-holders, starting with Konrad Adenauer, is, at least to some extent, common practice for German chancellors in Germany. We can still discuss how common this must be for it to appear in Wikipedia, but I honestly do not know how exactly to draw the line from a methodological point of view. We can also philosophize about the extent to which this is a result of the Americanization of German politics - if your assertion is correct that something like this is not common in other European countries (I wouldn't be so sure about that either, but I'll leave that aside here). But I don't think that would be very relevant to the question itself. I am looking forward to read from you - stay healthy! ;) Alektor89 (talk) 19:37, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

Wikipedia Wars and the Israel-Palestine conflict...please fill out my survey?
Hello :) I am writing my MA dissertation on Wikipedia Wars and the Israel-Palestine conflict, and I noticed that you have contributed to those pages. My dissertation will look at the process of collaborative knowledge production on the Israel-Palestine conflict, and the effect it has on bias in the articles. This will involve understanding the profiles and motivations of editors, contention/controversy and dispute resolution in the talk pages, and bias in the final article. For more information, you can check out my meta-wiki research page or my user page, where I will be posting my findings when I am done. I would greatly appreciate if you could take 5 minutes to fill out this quick survey before 8 August 2021.

Participation in this survey is entirely voluntary and anonymous. There are no foreseeable risks nor benefits to you associated with this project. Thanks so much,

Trump family tree
I've been trying to find cites for the unsourced older branches of the family tree you created on Trump family in November 2016, starting with this this edit. (The page was recently merged into Family of Donald Trump.) Trump biographer Gwenda Blair mentions a Hans Drumpft moving to Kallstadt in 1608 and a John Philip Trump established as a wine grower at the end of the 17th century (without actually saying that they were Trump's ancestors) but then skips to the 19th century and Trump's great-grandfather Johannes Christian.

Hi, I didn’t want to revert your edits, as I know they are in good faith.

Deletion discussion about Mug shot of Donald Trump
Hello, Tataral, and welcome to Wikipedia. I edit here too, under the username Red-tailed hawk, and I thank you for your contributions.

I wanted to let you know, however, that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, Mug shot of Donald Trump, should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Articles for deletion/Mug shot of Donald Trump.

You might like to note that such discussions usually run for seven days and are not votes. And, our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.
