Edit summaries (again) x numerous times No.2

Hello, again, Andrew J. Kurbiko. Please provide edit summaries for any changes made to article content. Whether or not your changes are made in good faith is irrelevant. The majority of your edits revolve around the addition of, and changing of images, of numerous articles (specifically surround East Slavic sovereign states), yet you consistently fail to explain the WP:PERTINENCE of additional images, or why the substitutes are preferable to images already in place.

Continually making such changes without any form of discussion has escalated to being disruptive, such as your latest changes which have been reverted here on the "Russia" article.

You really need to demonstrate that you are WP:HERE as your lack of interaction with any other editors seems to indicate that you're not. I'm anticipating some form of response on your behalf. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 05:24, 26 April 2015 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Schweppes Logo.jpg

 

Thanks for uploading File:Schweppes Logo.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. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Cloudbound (talk) 19:20, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

Upmerging of categories for Kryvyi Rih

Please see my proposal to upmerge Category:1944 in Kryvyi Rih and Category:Years in Kryvyi Rih to Category:History of Kryvyi Rih. No Ukrainian cities have their history subcategorised by century yet, and only a handful of cities have subcategories by year. Here I think that the Category:1944 in Ukraine for the article is adequate. Hugo999 (talk) 22:23, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 17:01, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

File:Lee Strasberg LAT 1978.jpg

In March 2014, you took a non-free image I had uploaded (the above), and re-uploaded it as a free image taken from Flickr, and removed the non-free rationale I have provided. Since my upload had provided the original source (the Los Angeles Times), you should have realized that even if the Flickr upload had a Wikipedia-compatible license (the image has been deleted now, so we can't check}, that must have been a mistake or a deliberate falsehood. A picture from a newspaper does not become a free image because someone uploads it to FLickr (or anywhere else) with a free license. Please do not do this again, repeated instances of relabelling non-free images as free can rersult in your being blocked from editing. If you think you may have done the same thing to other images,I suggest that you go to them now and restore their original non-free rationales. Thank you. BMK (talk) 22:27, 27 December 2015 (UTC)

ListeriaBot on ukwiki

Hi I see you are active here as well. Thanks for your contributions to the TED speaker challenge! I am very impressed with your production (9 articles!). I created the user list in my userspace in ukwiki (uk:Користувач:Jane023/TED speakers), but this list will not automatically update because it is not a "Listeria list" such as the one in my userspace here on enwiki (User:Jane023/TED speakers). The listeria list is a tool by Magnus Manske and he keeps a bot to make the updates on user request, called ListeriaBot. This bot must be granted Bot rights on each wiki that wishes to enable it, and then there needs to be a Template:Wikidata list and Template:Wikidata list end on the ukwiki. I noticed that in May user uk:Користувач:Максим Підліснюк created uk:Шаблон:Wikidata list but there is no uk:Шаблон:Wikidata list end yet. Magnus will not make the effort to request bot status on all 240 wikis so it helps if there are local "champions" who can do this. Hope you can help, and thanks again for your interest in the challenge and your efforts until now. Best, Jane (talk) 18:12, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

Hi! Thank you for help and all the organizational efforts! There is actually Template:Wikidata list end on the ukwiki (it had no wikidata link). Unlike others I'm not a huge fan of technical work but just a fellow translator. Shall I find out how to gain bot rights? --Andrew J.Kurbiko (talk) 12:02, 9 July 2016 (UTC)
Well thanks and yes, because even after this challenge is over it would still be nice to have ListeriaBot enabled on ukwiki for all sorts of lists and not just this one. The page to request the bot flag is here: uk:Вікіпедія:Боти and for comparison, here is the enwiki version: Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/ListeriaBot. As you can see from the English version, it may take some time for the bot approvers to understand that ListeriaBot is owned by Magnus Manske and operates based on user input to the first template. Some translation may be necessary. Jane (talk) 13:33, 9 July 2016 (UTC)
Request is done --Andrew J.Kurbiko (talk) 13:50, 9 July 2016 (UTC)
Nice! Jane (talk) 17:59, 9 July 2016 (UTC)

It works!! See uk:Користувач:Jane023/TED speakers. Note that if you create an article now, you may have to click "update manually" to see it reflected in the list, because Magnus does not update continuously. Thanks for making the request. I also started a painting collection list for a museum in Odessa here: uk:Користувач:Jane023/Музей західного і східного мистецтва. I see I am the only one who created painting items so far but there is even a Caravaggio in there that has not been added yet. It is still early days for Wikidata I think. 09:55, 10 July 2016 (UTC)Jane (talk)

Привет, Andrew. On the page for the image you say "Sized". Do you mean, that you changed the size from an original image? If so, please consider redoing that process, and saving the result as PNG instead. It's always a bad idea to use JPEG for simple graphics with few colors. --BjKa (talk) 13:04, 5 October 2016 (UTC)

References

 

Remember that when adding content about health, please only use high-quality reliable sources as references. We typically use review articles, major textbooks and position statements of national or international organizations (There are several kinds of sources that discuss health: here is how the community classifies them and uses them). WP:MEDHOW walks you through editing step by step. A list of resources to help edit health content can be found here. The edit box has a built-in citation tool to easily format references based on the PMID or ISBN. We also provide style advice about the structure and content of medicine-related encyclopedia articles. The welcome page is another good place to learn about editing the encyclopedia. If you have any questions, please feel free to drop me a note. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 23:22, 27 July 2017 (UTC)

You can check the reference. It is scientific, proves the point, and has all the information, so theres no need to remove it. --Andrei (talk) 23:24, 27 July 2017 (UTC)

Spamming

You have been blocked temporarily from editing for adding spam links. Persistent spammers will have their websites blacklisted from Wikipedia and potentially penalized by search engines. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may request an unblock by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

Request reason:

I was blocked for using Wikipedia for SEO despite the fact i had to look up on wikipedia what SEO is. I have been working on minor corrections for a long time, and asking to unblock me and allow me to do my work. I'm not going to use the two websites mentioned by the user at the top. But I want to continue using the Bloomberg directory to work with Asian and American companies. Thank you.

Andrei (talk) 23:53, 27 July 2017 (UTC)

Accept reason:

I am going to give you another chance, but I strongly suggest you familiarize yourself with WP:Identifying reliable sources before adding any more links. There are also significant spamming concerns; if such issues recur, you will quickly find yourself blocked again. Huon (talk) 12:59, 19 August 2017 (UTC)

.

Okay if this was the only spamming sure we could unblock you with conditions that you would not do it again but:

(1) Here you added in 2015 "It is natural 100% juices and nectars of the assured high quality. Juices of this trade mark are possessors of higher rewards and winners of numerous tasting competitions, they are created for those, who honor traditions and quality of the higher test. The most front-rank technologies are used in the production of goods of TM «Sandora», that provides the European level of quality of juices. The products of TM «Sandora» are acknowledged in many countries of the world. During 7 last years «Sandora» has been the winner of international competition «A choice of the year» in the nomination of «The juice of the year». 2010 Sandora received award «Ten years leader».". Which is ad copy from the company in question.[5]

(2) In July 2017 you created [6] which includes the text "The company has delivered over 14 million square meters of industrial space, including 2 million square meters of warehouse space in Europe" which the ref added by it does not support[7]. We see this a lot with paid editing were statements are added with refs that do not support the statement in question.

(3) Some of the spam has been deleted such as "2004 — establishment of the new plant with 4 lines (KHS, Germany) for the production of juices and drinks; beginning of the production of new products — natural juices and nectars without preservatives in PET bottles. It was the first and singular in Ukraine line with the aseptic cold filling technology and capacity of 18 thousand bottles per hour. 2010 — start of non-alcoholic energy drinks production; 2014 — start of the Biola re-branding. The result is a new brand positioning, logo change, the emergence of a slogan and product updates.... The strategic management of tennis in Ukraine is under the Tennis Federation. But its productive activity and all the successes of our athletes are connected with the reliable support of large companies. Among them special place belongs to "Biola" that is a general sponsor of the Tennis Federation of Ukraine and one of the main strategic partners of Ukrainian tennis. "[8] Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 16:48, 28 July 2017 (UTC)

Also seeing copyright concerns[9][10] Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 17:14, 28 July 2017 (UTC)
If briefly, then the article about the company biola was deleted, and later transcribed by other participants, with which I agree. In 2015 I had very little experience in the project. Later I started working in the Ukrainian section, where such problems never occurred. In 2015, I could assume that copying a website to a company is much more convenient than writing the original content. Since then I changed my mind. I also read and understood the rules on copyrights. On article 2017. This translation. Translation from polish I guess this information is still available in the Polish version. I have never edited the Polish version of the article and have nothing to do with it. The bloomberg link was pasted at the end of the paragraph, trying to add it some weight. It proves some statements from the paragraph: company name, location, creators name, ect. --Andrei (talk) 17:25, 28 July 2017 (UTC)
I am still not clear how this edit occured[11]? Did you ever receive benefits from the company or any of their agents? For the spam links you added, was this part of a paid editing job? Have you been involved in paid or COI editing on Wikipedia? If so you need to disclose.
Anyway most of your work looks okay. I have asked for a second opinion and will let you know. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 18:35, 28 July 2017 (UTC)
It was the only english piece of text related to the company, I was able to find. --Andrei (talk) 19:27, 28 July 2017 (UTC)

Hi Andrew

Please see Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2018 February 1#Category:Neighbourhoods_of_Wola_etc, where I explain why I have rolled back a series of your edits, to allow a consensus to be formed. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 13:24, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

Ways to improve List of honorary citizens of Warsaw

Hi, I'm Boleyn. Andrew J.Kurbiko, thanks for creating List of honorary citizens of Warsaw!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Please add your references.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

Boleyn (talk) 21:07, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

Can you please respond to the above? I see it now has 'external links' which means 'suggestions for further reading'. Did you mean that this was your source? Thanks, Boleyn (talk) 19:55, 21 March 2018 (UTC)
Sorry, I thought it was a bot message. Its not "now has", its "has since 30 January 2018‎". This structure was copied from List of honorary citizens of Berlin, and for some reason having a source in "External links" section is OK for Berlin but not Ok for Warsaw. WP:EL says that 'If the website or page to which you want to link includes information that is not yet a part of the article, consider using it as a source for the article, and citing it.' That's what I did. It is both a source (you can easily see it if you visit that website) and a suggestion for further reading. --Andrei (talk) 20:30, 21 March 2018 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for clarifying. I have now made it clear in the article that it was your source - other editors and readers won't go hunting to double-check each point is covering in a link not labelled as a source. Boleyn (talk) 12:17, 27 March 2018 (UTC)

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) 17:12, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
