Copying within Wikipedia requires proper attribution edit

  Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Bosnian War into Yugoslav Wars. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was moved, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 22:20, 11 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for uploading File:Chechen Deportation in 1944.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.

File:Aardakh 1944.jpg edit

 

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot (talk) 17:22, 9 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

Deportation of the Balkars edit

Hi. I am copy editing Deportation of the Meskhetian Turks for GOCE.

Per WP:RFCCLOSE, I'd say right about now - the RfC has been running for 24 days, with no additional input in the last 10 days.

Concerning edits edit

I see you have done editing on the Operation Storm article so figured I would reach out to you for opinion. It seems editors have added content that doesn’t completely match source or are outdated as per later court rulings. It seems the edit vetting now in place allowed one editor to have their way. Also, how were recent edits allowed? One of the sources added for Varitas doesn’t seem RS and the the background seems now skewed to one side. Wording also seemed pov contradicting sources. The additions added this month don’t seem NPoV. Could you take a closer look? Thank you PortalTwo (talk) 14:57, 16 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, and thank you for your efforts to improve Wikipedia! However, you should know that it is not a good idea to remove citations or information sourced through citations simply because a link to a source is not working, as you did to Soviet–Afghan War. Dead links should not be deleted. Instead, please repair or replace the link, if possible, and ensure properly sourced information is retained. Often, a live substitute link can be found. Links not used as references, notes or citations are not as important, such as those listed in the "External links" or "Further reading" sections, but bad links in those sections should also be fixed if possible. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Warm Regards, ZI Jony (Talk) 14:44, 30 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

Battle of Vukovar edit

Ok I don't have time to argue with you about the "pyrhhic" victory, but I can quickly demant your claims about there being Serb forces outside command of Yugoslavia. This is simply not true. Republic of Serbian Krajina formed in 1992, not in 1991. All the Serb units, were formally under the command of either T.O (Teritorijalna Odbrana), or JNA. Arkan's unit was for example under command of Radovan Stojicic - Badza. So my recommendation for you is to change "Serb/Yugoslav pyhrric victory" to "Yugoslav Pyrrhic victory" since it stood like that for 10 years, before someone changed it.

Removal of soured stats from intro edit

Why did you remove the sourced stats of 20,000-50,000 total from the intro here? You only left totals up to a specific time period. This went unnoticed for two years right after my edit with no explanation. The article victim totals section states these number ranges. OyMosby (talk) 12:54, 15 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

Looking further I see I pasted in the higher figures wrongly for the 1992 short term. I mean that figure in total for the years. I still think we should keep the overall era totals as they are sourced. I made sure to put them separate from the three month totals. 20-50k definitely did not flee in just 3 months haha. Could you please double check my edits in case I may have missed something? I also included totals from other parts of Serbia given the article is about the whole state not just Vojvodina. Cheers OyMosby (talk) 13:49, 15 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
Multiple sources state 20-25,000 and two other stated 50,000 but you removed it from the intro. Also removed one of the sources. So a major stat was lost. Multiple sources stated more than 10k total. Why 10k only when that was a for only a three month span? Events continued after those three months? It was in the body so seems significant for the intro. It can come across as downsizing victim counts by stoping only at 3 months. You added the 20,000 part by years end but removed the sourced count for past that year. You see what I’m getting at? I just wanted to understand the reasoning. Like if one of the figures are flawed or the sources are bad. But the sources seemed RS. OyMosby (talk) 15:28, 15 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
No worries. Just wanted to see all is well to avoid edit conflicts. Cheers OyMosby (talk) 16:04, 15 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

Discretionary sanctions alert edit

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

Warning edit

This is completely inappropriate. You do not know me, you have never interacted with me before, you did not bother to discuss the revert with me, yet already after a revert you are not even suggesting, but commanding me to step down from an entire topic area. Don't continue with this kind of behavior. Mellk (talk) 13:44, 25 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

Deportation of Koreans in the Soviet Union edit

Hi 3E1I5S8B9RF7. I've restored the Painand Stephan cites in Deportation of Koreans in the Soviet Union, as they are still required by referencing. Removing these causes a "no target error", for details see the tracking category Category:Harv and Sfn no-target errors, and the documentation for the relevant short form reference ({{sfnp}} in this case). The tracking category also has details of how to turn these errors messages on, if you don't have them on already. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested transmissions °co-ords° 17:47, 9 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution (second request) edit

  Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Bucha massacre into Disinformation in the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 20:27, 17 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

Introducing false coordinates into Wikipedia edit

I had to correct the coordinates you put in the article June 2023 Kramatorsk missile strike, which were nowhere near the site of the attack. It is not acceptable to use the coordinates from the article on the city. If you don't know how to find coordinates, leave them blank and let editors fill them in.

Croatia War of Independence edit

Hello, in your edit here, what was the reason of removing the 2021 First-Degree Verdict about the details describing what the joint criminal enterprise was, it’s aims and all the various people and factions found complicit in it? I see that those two individuals were newly found guilty and given 15 years where as before it said they were found not guilty, but why were all the other existing details removed? They were found guilty for being part of a joint criminal enterprise with intentions to drive out non-Serbs out from areas of Bosnia and Croatia. Particularly this:

joint criminal enterprise involving Milosevic and other Serbian political, military and police officials. The court found that "from at least August 1991, a joint criminal enterprise existed" whose aim was to "forcibly and permanently remove.. Croats, Bosnian Muslim and Bosnian Croats, from large areas of Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. [384] Those implicated in the enterprise included senior political, military, and police leadership in Serbia, the SAO Krajina, the SAO Eastern Slavonia, Baranja and Western Syrmia, and Republika Srpska, [384][385]

Also removal of:

In 2017, Dragan Vasiljković commander of a Croatian Serb paramilitary unit, he was convicted of war crimes sentenced by a Croatian court to 15 years in prison.

Is the above 2021 finding negated in the 2023 finding? It appears to still apply to the other listed parties even if not to Stanisic and Simatovic specifically but relevant to the article. Wouldn’t it make sense to keep the 2021 section and just add that in 2023 they were ultimately convicted found guilty? Also they were found guilty for Crimes in Bosnia and Croatia not just Bosnia it seems. [1]

Also is passage excerpt about the Martić verdict related to the drafted joint enterprise document thrown out by Carla Del Ponte related? Reads a little confusing so wasn’t sure. It jumps straight i to the verdict without explaining it is a verdict not the draft spoken about a sentence before. This is also why I mentioned the removal of the Joint Criminal Enterprise expansion as it seems the courts in 2021 concluded (In a First Degree Verdict) the draft Hoare mentioned was validated in court in 2021 unless it was a different enterprising they are referring to? The whole things has be cross-eyed honestly hehe.

Hi again, 3E1I5S8B9RF7. Appreciate expanding the joint enterprises descript.
Wished to also ask, why was it move from the bottom of the section about War Crime

trials and placed further up?

Also it still seems to be missing the First Degree Ruling in 2021 implicating “Milosevic and other Serbian political, military and police officials, senior political, military, and police leadership in Serbia, the SAO Krajina, the SAO Eastern Slavonia, Baranja and Western Syrmia, and Republika Srpska.”
This was original just under the paragraph about the First and Second degree rulings regarding Croatian leadership. Should still be mentioned as the 2023 ruling update doesn’t remove it I think. Otherwise it makes it seem like only Stanisic and Simatovic were part of the enterprise and not Milosovic, RSK, RS, etc which are not mentioned elsewhere in the section. I think the 2021 part should be left in tact with just a small 2023 update mentioning that those two individuals were eventually convicted as well.
I retuned in and placed in chronologically before the 2023 ruling for context. Same as other findings which have initial findings and follow up Second Degree rulings.
Thoughts? OyMosby (talk) 18:28, 19 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
The section is really big already, with too much details, it might require trimming down a bit, but overall I think it is fine the way it is now. It is difficult to decide which parts should be shortened since a lot of these verdicts are important for international law.--3E1I5S8B9RF7 (talk) 09:08, 20 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
