Hi, Alex! Since the bot goes down pretty much every time you go on vacation and, as it is becoming ever more popular, you are starting to get more and more panicky messages, is it possible for someone else to run the bot in your absence? It is, obviously, too late to worry this time, but perhaps it can be arranged for your future leaves? I'd be more than willing to take the responsibility for running the bot next time, except I have no idea what it is that I'll need to be doing :), so it may not be technically possible. In any case, let me know when you come back. Hope you are having a great time wherever it is you are now! Best,—]&nbsp;•&nbsp;(]); 15:29, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

== Reminder about ] == == ANI or AE? ==


Hello, I'm asking your advice on the dispute with Volunteer Marek. Please note that while I'm not a newcomer, I'm relatively inexperienced about conflict resolution on en.wiki. <br> Recently I had ] with User:Boud. The topic is withdrawing my ANI complaint and opening an AE request. At ANI you invited us to find a compromise. While I think that that is both desirable and possible with regard to the contents of the article on war crimes, I doubt we can compromise on civility. But the point is: as a relatively inexperienced editor, I might have misunderstood the standards of civility and tendentiousness that this community deems acceptable. If that is the case, I'd rather stop it here, don't waste my and other people's time, and possibly move to less controversial topic areas leaving the floor to others who have the stomach for this. If, on the other side, I haven't made a blatant mistake on civility and tendentiousness, and Volunteer Marek's behaviours are contrary to our guidelines and policies, or at least they are in a "grey area" where reasonable people could disagree on their appropriateness, then I'd be happy to bring the case to AE. <br> I'm not particularly keen on writing another complaint and I'm aware that this could easily backfire, but it might be worth it: exposing the way they behave and asking AE to uphold our policies might be the right thing to do, as I think that their contribution is quite harmful in that topic area. If in the process I get topic banned or blocked, that would be unpleasant, but not too hard to deal with: I have other projects and interests. <br> So the question for you is: AE or not AE? Your advice is very much appreciated. ] (]) (]) 00:40, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
You are receiving this message because you are listed as the protecting admin for ]. The page has been semiprotected for longer than 2 months without an expiry date set. Because Misplaced Pages relies on contributers to make the encyclopedia, I'm asking you to review your decision and either
*Unprotect the page if protection is no longer needed, or
*set a reasonable expiry date for the protection instead of leaving it on forever
I hope that you will do one of the two in order to reduce the backlog of pages that have been semiprotected for very long period of time. If there are other pages you have also protected, I will try not to give more reminder, but I hope that you will double check your protection log to pick up and pages you might have forgotten.

*Well, I might be too thick-skinned myself but I would have let the issue die if I were in your shoes. Find a compromise on the article and forget about some impolite discussion in between. I know ] for many years, occasionally the contacts were frustrating but overall he is a good guy. Anyway it is your choice. We have a policy ] that discourages going with someone's grievances to another forum if the decision of the first one is unsatisfactory. We have a dozen of different forums with intersecting authority and if somebody would go to all of them he or she would eventually get their foe block. I do not see any quick exit out of it. I guess if WP:AN/I decision would not help the problem in a week you can try another forum ]. On the other hand discouragement is not forbidding I guess you can drop a notice to ] maybe with a link to ] and ask if they think the issue is covered by ] - the arcom decision that sets simplified blocking policy for the tendentious editing in the area of Eastern European and Balkan issues. This is your choice ] (]) 03:32, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
== ] ==
*:Thank you for the explanation and advice. I thought about it and decided to follow your suggestion: I will not pursue the matter further. In fact, I agree that WP:FORUMSHOP clearly applies to a case as this one. Out of inexperience I might have made a wrong decision about the best venue for addressing my quarrel, but VM cannot be burden with my procedural mistakes, and that would also be unfair to the editors who commented at AN/I. I should have followed Boud's advise immediately and asked to transfer the case at AE. However, I think that that mistake of mine will not prevent me from opening an AE request in case of future behaviours by VM that I deem disruptive or uncivil. If and when I will raise a case at AE, I will share a link to the discussion at AN/I, and I will hope that that doesn't fall under WP:FORMUSHOP. Thank you again for your time and consideration. ] (]) (]) 11:25, 24 June 2022 (UTC)

:::::You work towards a compromise? I started a discussion on the talk page, unlike you YMB uses it. You revert war, delete sourced material, use weasel words, and after that you say we "don't know the subject" and you "work towards a compromise"? It's enough to enter the history of the article and the talk page to see who wants a compromise, and who not. YMB references what he says. He to doesn't agree with many things in the article, but unlike you he is mature enough to use the talk page for it, and he is mature enough to respect a concensus. And that's all after I entered every claim you wanted to enter the article! You were given respect - give respect. Everyone can see what's going on by entering the talk page and the history.

Biophys, I think it is wrong. You have wealth of information on the Human Rights in USSR topic and your editing helps.

:::Alex, I certainly agree with you.

== Moscow Bombings edit == == Algeria New Article ==


Hi @]
Thanks for your work. It is nice to know that not everyone is influenced by the views of Mr Berezovsky and his colleagues.<br>
Hope my new edits to the motives and explosives section are to your liking.<br>
I think more note of the "terrorist" angle should be placed near the top of the article - someone glancing at it would be left with the impression that the bombings were most likely the result of Russian actions, rather than this being a possible, unproven, cause.<br>

:::I never mentioned what Magoci opinions is fringe theory (while many scholars did). I concerned to specific figure in his 1996 work (while he have 2007 work). If carefully read scholar comment on Magocsi's books – “rather popular character of this publication, addressing not so much an academic readership as a broad public” and for specific time period “Obviously with Magocsi this historical fact is a "blank spot," too” – so It’s not good idea to give such emphasis to “blank spot” in science article. And, once again, does anyone else listed this figure? See first chapter of ] for this issue. While sentence is clear mislead – as far as you can read at ] work what in spring 1946 UPA at Ukraine numbered 300 person While I would be great to see RS for tagged sentence “which fought a guerrilla war during the ] and in the decade afterwards”. Thanks to WP we know what ] in Europe started September, 1 1939 and ends May 8(9 Moscow time) 1945. So here is clear ] in the lead - because UPA/OUN(B) not exist before March 20 1943 Order of it formation, and was dismissed (more formally because it actually does not exist as military formation) September 1949.

postwar Ukrainian emigration began to redefine its politics. It downplayed as much as possible the cooperation between the Ukrainian nationalist parties and the Germans and emphasized instead how Ukrainian nationalists fought both the Germans and the Soviets and how the Ukrainian nation suffered enormously at the hands of both. Lebed's group published document collections that doctored historical texts to eliminate pro-German and antisemitic statements. Lebed left his papers to the Harvard Ukrainian Research Institute.

Hi Alex, while I disagree with your reversion, I will not revert back since you know my view on the matter and I don't need to edit the page to make that clear. The talk page and the edit summary do not use the word "source" in the sense you described in the undoing edit. The problem with the inclusion of the image, as I stated, was the definite slant the source of the image has. If the image is being used as a decoration or an illustration (or something, point being that its a peripheral item) ideally it should not be displaying a particular view on the subject.

Miyokan, you know my stance on the issue when we discussed with Moreschi and Folantin the similar problem about Berkunt user.

Sorry, number of authors doesn't equal reliability. Number of pages also doesn't equal reliability, either.

I don't know al their backgrounds, altrhough one (Kulchitsky) was a former ideologue for the Ukrainian Communist party. As I've already taught you, the Universiy of Toronto (Magocsi) is also a top world university (#18 or #24, depending on the ranking).

ANI or AE?

Hello, I'm asking your advice on the dispute with Volunteer Marek. Please note that while I'm not a newcomer, I'm relatively inexperienced about conflict resolution on en.wiki.
Recently I had this conversation with User:Boud. The topic is withdrawing my ANI complaint and opening an AE request. At ANI you invited us to find a compromise. While I think that that is both desirable and possible with regard to the contents of the article on war crimes, I doubt we can compromise on civility. But the point is: as a relatively inexperienced editor, I might have misunderstood the standards of civility and tendentiousness that this community deems acceptable. If that is the case, I'd rather stop it here, don't waste my and other people's time, and possibly move to less controversial topic areas leaving the floor to others who have the stomach for this. If, on the other side, I haven't made a blatant mistake on civility and tendentiousness, and Volunteer Marek's behaviours are contrary to our guidelines and policies, or at least they are in a "grey area" where reasonable people could disagree on their appropriateness, then I'd be happy to bring the case to AE.
I'm not particularly keen on writing another complaint and I'm aware that this could easily backfire, but it might be worth it: exposing the way they behave and asking AE to uphold our policies might be the right thing to do, as I think that their contribution is quite harmful in that topic area. If in the process I get topic banned or blocked, that would be unpleasant, but not too hard to deal with: I have other projects and interests.
So the question for you is: AE or not AE? Your advice is very much appreciated. Gitz (talk) (contribs) 00:40, 24 June 2022 (UTC)

  • Well, I might be too thick-skinned myself but I would have let the issue die if I were in your shoes. Find a compromise on the article and forget about some impolite discussion in between. I know User:Volunteer Marek for many years, occasionally the contacts were frustrating but overall he is a good guy. Anyway it is your choice. We have a policy WP:FORUMSHOP that discourages going with someone's grievances to another forum if the decision of the first one is unsatisfactory. We have a dozen of different forums with intersecting authority and if somebody would go to all of them he or she would eventually get their foe block. I do not see any quick exit out of it. I guess if WP:AN/I decision would not help the problem in a week you can try another forum WP:AE. On the other hand discouragement is not forbidding I guess you can drop a notice to WP:AE maybe with a link to WP:AN/I and ask if they think the issue is covered by WP:ARBEE - the arcom decision that sets simplified blocking policy for the tendentious editing in the area of Eastern European and Balkan issues. This is your choice Alex Bakharev (talk) 03:32, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
    Thank you for the explanation and advice. I thought about it and decided to follow your suggestion: I will not pursue the matter further. In fact, I agree that WP:FORUMSHOP clearly applies to a case as this one. Out of inexperience I might have made a wrong decision about the best venue for addressing my quarrel, but VM cannot be burden with my procedural mistakes, and that would also be unfair to the editors who commented at AN/I. I should have followed Boud's advise immediately and asked to transfer the case at AE. However, I think that that mistake of mine will not prevent me from opening an AE request in case of future behaviours by VM that I deem disruptive or uncivil. If and when I will raise a case at AE, I will share a link to the discussion at AN/I, and I will hope that that doesn't fall under WP:FORMUSHOP. Thank you again for your time and consideration.

Proposed deletion of File:Mirsky Book Cover.jpg

Notice

The file File:Mirsky Book Cover.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Improper use of non-free content. The image is used only on an article about the subject of the book, not the book itself, and there is no "critical commentary of the work" to speak of.

While all constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
