Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited UK Health Security Agency, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Johnson ministry. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Please stop adding irrelevant crap about non notable people to articles. It doesn't matter if you have sources, it does not belong. Nil Einne (talk) 16:26, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

And please stop adding your own opinions to articles, especially in relation to living persons. If you are going to say someone did something like prejudiced a trial, you need a reliable source which actually specifically says that and not simply your own interpretation that is what they did. Anything else is WP:OR Nil Einne (talk) 17:05, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

If you needed clarification, you could have just asked rather than opening a pointless ANI. I assumed from the edit summaries you left, you knew enough about edit histories you'd figure it out yourself, sorry that I was wrong. Anyway for the first I'm referring to this crap [1] and the stuff about Artur Pawlowski's brother conviction that you added to his article. For the second, I was referring to this [2] and similar crap you added to Artur Pawlowski's article which lack any reliable source and so appear to be your own opinion. Nil Einne (talk) 09:56, 17 January 2022 (UTC)

I should clarify, I shouldn't have made the assumption you would figure it out in any case and my apology is not just for being wrong, but for making it in the first place. I should have at least mentioned the article I was referring to in my earlier comment. Nil Einne (talk) 10:51, 17 January 2022 (UTC)

Attribution for public domain material

Thank you for your contributions. It seems that you may have added public domain content to one or more Wikipedia articles, such as European Deterrence Initiative. You are welcome to import appropriate public domain content to articles, but in order to meet the Wikipedia guideline on plagiarism, such content must be fully attributed. This requires not only acknowledging the source, but acknowledging that the source is copied. There are several methods to do this described at Wikipedia:Plagiarism#Public-domain sources, including the usage of an attribution template. Please make sure that any public domain content you have already imported is fully attributed. Thank you. DanCherek (talk) 11:44, 28 March 2022 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Armduino! Your additions to NATO Tailored Forward Presence have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

• You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
• Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
• We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
• If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 23:32, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

Hello @Diannaa: I seem to have followed precisely your point #1. Please explain to me how I could have done better. 14:10, 30 March 2022 (UTC)

Sorry for the delay in repolying; I didn't receive your ping, because you didn't sign your post. The text you copied was short, but there were no quotation marks. You should have re-worded it or omitted it or used quotation marks. — Diannaa (talk) 22:04, 14 June 2022 (UTC)

Quote farming

This section is an excerpt from Wikipedia:Quotations § Overuse.[edit]

While quotations are an indispensable part of Wikipedia, try not to overuse them. Quotations embody the breezy, emotive style common in fiction and some journalism, which is generally not suited to encyclopedic writing. Long quotations crowd the actual article and distract attention from other information. Many direct quotations can be minimized in length by providing an appropriate context in the surrounding text. A summary or paraphrase of a quotation is often better where the original wording could be improved. Consider minimizing the length of a quotation by paraphrasing, by working small portions of the quotation into the article text, or both. Provided each use of a quotation within an article is legitimate and justified, there is no need for an arbitrary limit but quotations should not dominate the article.

Overuse happens when:

• a quotation is used without pertinence: it is presented visually on the page but its relevance is not explained anywhere;
• quotations are used to explain a point that can be paraphrased;
• the quotations dominate the article or section.

Proposed deletion of Agreement between the United States of America and the Russian Federation Concerning the Safe and Secure Transportation, Storage and Destruction of Weapons and the Prevention of Weapons Proliferation

Hello, Armduino

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username TheTechnician27, and I thank you for your contributions.

I wanted to let you know, however, that I've proposed an article that you started, Agreement between the United States of America and the Russian Federation Concerning the Safe and Secure Transportation, Storage and Destruction of Weapons and the Prevention of Weapons Proliferation, for deletion because it meets one or more of our deletion criteria, and I don't think that it is suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia. The particular issue can be found in the notice that is now visible at the top of the article.

If you wish to contest the deletion:

1. Edit the page
2. Remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
3. Click the Publish changes button.

If you object to the article's deletion, please remember to explain why you think the article should be kept on the article's talk page and improve the page to address the issues raised in the deletion notice. Otherwise, it may be deleted later by other means.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|TheTechnician27}}. And remember to sign your reply with ~~~~. Thanks!

Thanks for adding the article about the Ukrainian Punisher drone. Your article clearly demonstrates the subject's notability, but it is short so I'm tagging it as a stub.

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Crimean Tatars into Rustam Minnikhanov. 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) 14:24, 5 June 2022 (UTC)

Edit war

Your recent editing history at Canada 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—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—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. Canterbury Tail talk 16:24, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

@Canterbury Tail: I'm puzzled by your contention. Can you justify it? Armduino (talk) 18:50, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

You've added the same image to the article 3 times now, and it's been removed 3 times. You shouldn't keep re-adding the same material over and over just because you like it, that's edit warring. See the links above for further definitions of edit warring, what to do if you're reverted and how to avoid it. Canterbury Tail talk 19:25, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

@Canterbury Tail: The changes I made were three in number but were definitely not reverts. Each was tailored in order to make it palatable to others. I took the criticism on board and applied my subsequent edit to substantially different parts of the article. You appear to have noticed only the number of times my byline was listed on the "view history" page and to have seen red. That was in no way "edit warring". Armduino (talk) 23:23, 14 June 2022 (UTC)

Bulgarian Navy

Hello! There's a problem with some of your changes to Bulgarian Navy - changing the section titles and title levels creates the impression that the Cold War-era structure of the navy is the current one (including decommissioned equipment) and orphans the "Naval equipment" section in an awkward pace. Note that now there's both "Command structure" and "Structure" sections right next to each other. Please fix those issues. Daggerstab (talk) 12:10, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

@Daggerstab: thanks for your comments. I'm unsure how to proceed. For example in the history section "Cold War era" precedes "Since independence". I'm not a fan of lists posing as text in "Command structure" and "Structure" so I would nuke most of them both. But they may serve a useful purpose to some other readers so I left those in for others to disentangle. Have you any suggestions? Armduino (talk) 12:50, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

At the very least, a temporary fix would be to demote the Cold War structure section back to a sub-section of the Cold War section - this way the article at least won't be misinforming readers, until someone does a more comprehensive cleanup and/or rewrite of the article. Also, "independence" is not the right word for that section title anyway - Bulgaria has been formally independent since 1908. Perhaps it should be something like "Post-Cold War" or "Post-Cold War and membership in NATO" or something similar. Daggerstab (talk) 14:21, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

@Daggerstab: I have it: a better section title has to do with the Warsaw Pact. I'll look at incorporating Cold War structure back into Cold War history. Armduino (talk) 14:29, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of NATO Readiness Action Plan

If this was the first article that you created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

The page NATO Readiness Action Plan has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appeared to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appeared to be a direct copy from https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natohq/official_texts_112964.htm - no indication this is compatibly licensed. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition has been be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. 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 Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

Please do not recreate the material without addressing these concerns, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Chornobaivka

Hello. The Chornobaivka attacks are not a siege. Ukraine lost Chornobaivka and its airport on 27 February, and Ukraine started bombing Russian occupying positions there on the same day. Ukraine does not currently hold nor Chornobaivka nor its airport. Also, you should've sought for a WP:RM to propose the new title, not just immediately move it. Please do not repeat your actions or administrative action will be requested. Super Ψ Dro 18:10, 17 July 2022 (UTC)

Yes, @Super Dromaeosaurus: the "Chornobaivka attacks" are in fact a siege. As I've tried to tell in my edit log summary "According to Siege, "Siege warfare is a form of constant, low-intensity conflict characterized by one party holding a strong, static, defensive position." This is the case with Chornobaivka."

I'll leave you with a question: do the November 2015 Paris attacks and the 2022 Chornobaivka attacks have anything in common? If so, please describe the similarities. Or should we change the definition of Siege to fit your vexatious ideas? Armduino (talk) 04:37, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

According to the article Siege: "A siege is a military blockade of a city, or fortress, with the intent of conquering by attrition, or a well-prepared assault." "A siege occurs when an attacker encounters a city or fortress that cannot be easily taken by a quick assault, and which refuses to surrender." Not the case of Chornobaivka.

Speedy deletion nomination of Sinomine Resource Group

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Sinomine Resource Group, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. PRAXIDICAE🌈 15:21, 22 July 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Deb. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.Deb (talk) 17:45, 22 July 2022 (UTC)

Hi @Deb: I am surprised you think the Sinomine Resources Group page "to be promotional". I'm concerned that not enough time passed between the nomination for speedy deletion at 15:21, 22 July 2022 and your unconditional deletion at 17:45, 22 July 2022 (ie around two and a half hours) to let me contest the nomination. Shouldn't we have a chance to discuss the merits and make changes to this page to address everyone's concerns? It was deleted in record time and with no opportunity to go through the process. Don't you agree, @Praxidicae:? Armduino (talk) 20:04, 22 July 2022 (UTC)

It's called speedy deletion for a reason. Who is "we"? PRAXIDICAE🌈 20:07, 22 July 2022 (UTC)

Evidently, "we" is you and I and the rest of the community. I'm puzzled and surprised at your actions and would like to discuss them with reference to the text. Under three hours seems hasty because I had no chance to rebut your claim. Armduino (talk) 06:41, 23 July 2022 (UTC)

Hi. You went wrong right on the second sentence. Saying that a company calls itself the best is little different from saying that it is the best. Perhaps you intended sarcasm, but then why mention it at all? If you had not finished writing the initial article and would like to try again, please use draft space to prepare the article or include the "under construction" tag.

Revert

Why did you revert[3] my AWB edit to Resistor?

The purpose of my edit was to use the canonical form of {{Cite web}}{{Cite news}}, rather than a redirect, to facilitate various searches used in cleanup of refs. Why restore the redirect? BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 23:22, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

Hi @BrownHairedGirl: because cite article has the doi field and the cite web does not, and a power tool allows the filling in of the cite article type without needless human intervention. Armduino (talk) 23:27, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

@Armduino: {{Cite article}} is a redirect to {{Cite news}}, so there is no difference in functionality.

I will restore my edit, because your revert was pointless. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 23:35, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

@BrownHairedGirl: There may be no difference in functionality from the wiki point of view, but before you go too far, have you investigated the Citation bot to examine whether or not that tool keys on the "article" type and ignores lesser types such as Cite news? I'm rather shocked by your declaration and unilateral reversion. I thought we were having a discussion on the subject and would come to some sort of consensus. Or am I unfamiliar with how wiki works. Armduino (talk) 08:32, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

@Armduino: yes, you are unfamiliar with how wiki works.

{{Cite news}} is not the lesser type. It is the normal form, and {{Cite article}} is a rare alias. (Compare: 433 transclusions of the redirect Cite article versus 1,378,670 transclusions of Cite news. They have exactly the same effect, but tools are much less likely to recognise any of the many aliases. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 09:35, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

no @BrownHairedGirl: you are likely unfamiliar with how coding and algorithms work so if you haven't knowledge of how the particular piece of code for Citation bot works I'm afraid your assurances are worth exactly nothing and I would feel much better if you left my original changes as they were. Armduino (talk) 13:11, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

@Armduino: that comment is obnoxious to the point offensiveness, and plain wrong. I am very familiar with how coding works (after over 40 years of coding), and I know how this stuff works. I also have 16 years experience on Wikipedia, and almost a thousand times more edits than you.

You, however, are wholly mistaken about how the templates work, and your insults to me are intolerable. Please stop this now. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 13:17, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

I'm sorry @BrownHairedGirl: when did I insult you? Your conduct is close to becoming intolerable. Please calm down and take a few deep breaths before you do anything too rash. I continue to maintain that your self-assurance seems mistaken in this case and I would feel much better if you left my original changes as they were. As an alternative, you could comb through the Citation bot code and produce results here that support your claim that it is agnostic as to the changes that you propose. Armduino (talk) 13:25, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

@Armduino: you insulted me by assuming that I knew nothing about coding or algorithms. Why? Because I am a woman?

And you still don't see how insulting that is.

The fact is that I run several bots, and I write a lot of code to deal with these templates on Wikipedia, nearly every day. And no, I am not going to comb through the Citation bot code just to demonstrate to falsity of your wilful ignorance.

Citation bot is maintained by @AManWithNoPlan, who I will ask to kindly confirm what I have been saying: that using the canonical name of a template does not impede Citation bot. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 13:33, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

"using the canonical name of a template does not impede Citation bot" is correct. Also "Cite article" should NEVER be used. Some editors think it means journal, while others newspapers, and yet others magazine. AManWithNoPlan (talk) 13:36, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

Your edit-warring

Your recent editing history at Black Sea Grain Initiative 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—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—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Deprecated sources

Please review WP:BURDEN: The burden to demonstrate verifiability lies with the editor who adds or restores material, and it is satisfied by providing an inline citation to a reliable source that directly supports the contribution. Emphasis in original. The restorer is you. If you want the claim in, you are required to supply an RS - not a deprecated one. It's not up to me to support your claims for you, policy says you need to do that. Looking at your succeeding edits, you may also need to review WP:OWN - David Gerard (talk) 13:46, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

Operacija okeanski štit moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Operacija okeanski štit, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:History of the Russian Navy

A tag has been placed on Category:History of the Russian Navy indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

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". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 01:20, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution (second request)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from United Nations General Assembly Resolution ES-11/1 into Russia and the United Nations. 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) 20:03, 21 August 2022 (UTC)
