Reply to your email
Hello. I have received your email, where you inquired about whether your topic ban prohibits you from making edits to Soviet famine of 1946–1947 in Ukraine. In the interest of transparency, and so other administrators can see this clarifying statement, I am responding here rather than by e-mail.

In short, your topic ban does not per se cover this subject wholly. If any edit you make adds content involving the ethnic identity of particular individuals where it is disputed whether their ethnicity is Ukrainian, or adds content relating to disputes between the countries of Russia and Ukraine, then your edit is prohibited.

I am generally not too familiar with the historiography of the 1946-47 famine in the Ukraine, but if it is anything like that of the Holodomor I would strongly advise you to avoid making edits there. It would be very easy to violate your topic ban—there is content on Голодомор в Україні (1946—1947) that, if you were to add it, would violate your topic ban. If your goal is to have the topic ban lifted in 3 months, when you can appeal it to the administrator's noticeboard, I would suggest that you continue to translate pages that do not require one to get deep into the weeds on (post-)Soviet politics.

I'm not able to handle your other request myself, but I have forwarded it to the functionaries who can.

Please let me know on my talk page if you have any further questions going forward.

Note on translations and attribution
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you translated text from one or more pages to another page. While you are welcome to translate Wikipedia content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing requires that you provide attribution to the contributor(s) of the original article. When translating from a foreign-language Wikipedia article, this is supplied at a minimum in an edit summary on the page where you add translated content, identifying it as a translation and linking it to the source page. For example:  It is good practice, especially if translation is extensive, to also place a properly formatted translated page template on the talk pages of the destination article. If you have added translated content previously which was not attributed at the time it was added, please add attribution retrospectively for that also, even if it was a long time ago. You can read more about author attribution and the reasons for it at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. I note that you have placed the translated page template on relevant talk pages already, but I did want to make you aware of the requirement that a link to the original page be included in an edit summary when you perform a translation. Thank you, and happy editing! — Red-tailed hawk  (nest) 03:16, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

Blocked
I have blocked you for abuse of email and a violation of your topic ban (disputes between Russia and Ukraine). As this block is based on private evidence, you may appeal to. Maxim (talk) 14:51, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

checkuser block
Thanks for reverting me if I was in error. What do I misunderstand about this checkuser block? If UA0Volodymyr is blocked for a topic ban, why is it listed in this manner? Chris Troutman ( talk )  15:45, 26 January 2024 (UTC)


 * In rare circumstances, a checkuser block isn't about socking. For example, it could involve information obtained using the CheckUser tool, so the block must by necessity be marked as such, as it would be difficult for a non-checkuser to review the evidence. Maxim (talk) 15:59, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
 * OK, thanks. This is the first time in ten years I recall seeing this sort of block.  Chris Troutman  ( talk )  16:07, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

February 2024
It may not have been your intention, but one of your edits, specifically one that you made on Rosa Luxemburg, may have been a change that some consider controversial. Due to this, your edits may have been reverted. When making possibly controversial changes, it is good practice to first discuss your edit on the article's talk page before making it, to gain consensus over whether or not to include the text, phrasing, etc. If you believe that the information you added was correct, please initiate that discussion. Thank you. LegalSmeagolian (talk) 20:13, 7 February 2024 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of RussischeMontanindustrie-Aktien-Gesellschaft


A tag has been placed on RussischeMontanindustrie-Aktien-Gesellschaft requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://enc.rusdeutsch.ru/articles/5719. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion".
