BubbleBabis
Welcome!
Hello, BubbleBabis, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, like Andreas Michaelides, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted (if it hasn't already).
There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}}
on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:
- Your first article
- Biographies of living persons
- How to write a great article
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- Help pages
- Tutorial
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Wuhwuzdat (talk) 12:31, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
Speedy deletion of Andreas Michaelides
editA tag has been placed on Andreas Michaelides requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Invasion of Poland (1939)
editPlease stop trying to add information about Blitzkrieg to the Invasion of Poland (1939) article. Your addition is poorly written: it has spelling mistakes, grammar mistakes and it does not flow smoothly or allow the reader to understand easily your intent. You include the unprovable assertion that the Nazi war technology was unbeatable — they lost the war, didn't they? Binksternet (talk) 17:40, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
Vandalism at Invasion of Poland (1939)
editYou have repeatedly added the same poorly-written text to Invasion of Poland (1939) without engaging in discussion regarding how best to present the information. You have repeatedly been warned. At this point, your re-insertions of this material will be considered vandalism. Binksternet (talk) 16:19, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
March 2009
editWelcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to Felix Magath, is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources, please take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. --Jaellee (talk) 12:18, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
- I don't object to the description of of Magath as "strict", although his training methods are already described at the beginning of the paragraph. But the other stories seem to be humorous exaggerations at the first read, so you should add references for them. Readers (such as I) won't believe it without further proof. I've googled and found some references for the nudist training here [1] (it's Bild-Zeitung, well...), but nothing so far for the night training session. Just provide some references and you can put it back in. --Jaellee (talk) 18:18, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
- Okay ... --Jaellee (talk) 12:35, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
Vandalism

Non-free image on userpage
editHey there. As you may or may not be aware, File:Hot coffee.png is a Fair use image, which means that any use outside of the pages for which a reasonable rationale exists (at the moment, only Hot Coffee minigame controversy and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas) is a copyright infringement. This is covered at Wikipedia:User page#Images on user pages. The image has already been removed many times by a bot and once by a human, all of which you reverted. I'm very sorry that nobody has left you a note regarding this (as far as I can see) but it really does have to be removed. I sincerely hope you don't mind me editing your userpage and doing so. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 21:11, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
Unreferenced BLPs
editHello BubbleBabis! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 3 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 725 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:
- Panicos Orphanides - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
- Jan Remmers - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

Orphaned non-free image File:Tupac-house-of-blues-1996.jpg
editThanks for uploading File:Tupac-house-of-blues-1996.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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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).
PLEASE NOTE:
- I am a bot, and will therefore not be able to answer your questions.
- I will remove the request for deletion if the file is used in an article once again.
- If you receive this notice after the image is deleted, and you want to restore the image, click here to file an un-delete request.
- To opt out of these bot messages, add

Introduction to contentious topics
editYou have recently edited a page related to Eastern Europe or the Balkans, a topic designated as contentious. This standard message is designed as an introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.
A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.
Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:
- adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
- comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
- follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
- comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
- refrain from gaming the system.
Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

- You have recently made edits related to articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. This is a standard message to inform you that articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles is a designated contentious topic. This message does not imply that there are any issues with your editing. For more information about the contentious topics system, please see Wikipedia:Contentious topics. Non-boilerplate addendum: Please read WP:BLP thoroughly before making further edits regarding living persons, especially those who are controversial. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 18:09, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
- If you're unable to judge what counts as a reliable source for a contentious claim about a living person, please stop trying to add such claims. You've now cited six unreliable sources. With BLPs we don't get to play fast and loose, adding poorly sourced claims in hopes that reliable sources will come along. If you have questions about whether a source is reliable, you can ask on the article's talkpage or at WP:RSN. But until an actually reliable source covers this, please stop re-adding the text in question. Doing so is edit warring. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 23:14, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
- is an archived copy of Sarah's own (now deleted) tweet a reliable source? -- BubbleBabis (talk) 12:37, 28 Septembr 2023 (UTC)
- Depending on means of archival, it may be a reliable source for the tweet's own contents. It would not be a reliable source for any surrounding context, and would not establish due weight for discussing this incident. Ashton-Cirillo has sent tens, maybe hundreds of thousands of tweets. We need to look to reliable sources to say which are worth discussing. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 02:15, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
- It's archived through Wayback Machine, it contains Ashton-Cirillo's "rebuttal" of the content. On whether it is of due weight for the Ashton-Cirillo page, there's the example of the Stephen King page which contains a paragraph on him being pranked last year by the same Russian pranksters and the subsequent tweet he made - so I contend that for the Ashton-Cirillo page the incident passes the "importance test". On the sources' reliability, the Vovan and Lexus page contains refs to: Bitchute video of one prank, their own Telegram channel for another, rutube etc. So my proposal is: restore the paragraph about the prank on the Sarah article, giving as ref for the prank video the pranksters' Telegram channel where they've uploaded it, and as ref for Sarah's response tweet the archived copy from the Wayback Machine. -- BubbleBabis (talk) 18:46, 28 Septembr 2023 (UTC)
- First, the video is only reliable for its own existence—not for the veracity of any claims made therein—same as the tweet. Second, at the King article, due weight is established by the Mediaite source. Since that exists, there's no issue with subsequently citing King's tweet (although a secondary source that in turn cites it might be better). Here, neither the YouTube video nor the tweet establishes that this is something reliable sources care about. Rather, available evidence indicates that reliable sources do not (yet) care about this. And Wikipedia articles follow the reliable sources, not what editors find interesting or important. Fundamentally, you cannot conjure reliable source coverage out of thin air. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 21:40, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
- To add, you are not a judge of what groups can "liberate" something. WP:RS says that the Kraken Regiment liberated a village, like how in the World War II article, which is a WP:GA, it also mentions areas being liberated. There is no reliable source indicating that their liberation of the village resulted in anything other than that, regardless of your personal feelings about Kraken's "checkered history" which itself is based largely on Russian accusations. The article is under the same contentious topic, so you may not want to edit war in order to introduce your own preferred wording over what the cited reference actually says.

- "largely Russian accusations" = Kraken leader Serhiy Velichko appearing on video in May 2022 admitting that his unit shot Russian POWs in the knees. "Largely Russian accusations" = Velichko and Nemichev being imprisoned in Ukraine until 25 February 2022 (video of then-Prosecutor-General of Ukraine Irina Venediktova announcig their early release because of the war). The Nazi origins of the unit (from Metalist Kharkiv's "Sect 82" hooligans and Nemichev's leading role in "National Corps" and "Azov" formations in 2014 - long before they started "self-denazifying" to avoid controversy) is well-documented within the article itself. The word "liberated" in the article appears once, sourced from WP. Wikipedia has no obligation to use the exact language as its sources: in this occasion it not only is non-NPOV but, given the article also records the unit's not-so-good past, the very use of the word becomes problematic. The reader will conclude that Nazi-affiliated, war crime-admitting convicts can be "liberators" of a given place. Just imagine an article in Wikipedia writing something "Wagner convicts liberated the village" just because a source wrote it that way. -- BubbleBabis (talk) 23:44, 8 Novembr 2023 (UTC)
- And all of this, WP:OR. Stop edit warring to go against WP:RS based on your personal beliefs. --TylerBurden (talk) 18:47, 9 November 2023 (UTC)

- First, the video is only reliable for its own existence—not for the veracity of any claims made therein—same as the tweet. Second, at the King article, due weight is established by the Mediaite source. Since that exists, there's no issue with subsequently citing King's tweet (although a secondary source that in turn cites it might be better). Here, neither the YouTube video nor the tweet establishes that this is something reliable sources care about. Rather, available evidence indicates that reliable sources do not (yet) care about this. And Wikipedia articles follow the reliable sources, not what editors find interesting or important. Fundamentally, you cannot conjure reliable source coverage out of thin air. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 21:40, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
- It's archived through Wayback Machine, it contains Ashton-Cirillo's "rebuttal" of the content. On whether it is of due weight for the Ashton-Cirillo page, there's the example of the Stephen King page which contains a paragraph on him being pranked last year by the same Russian pranksters and the subsequent tweet he made - so I contend that for the Ashton-Cirillo page the incident passes the "importance test". On the sources' reliability, the Vovan and Lexus page contains refs to: Bitchute video of one prank, their own Telegram channel for another, rutube etc. So my proposal is: restore the paragraph about the prank on the Sarah article, giving as ref for the prank video the pranksters' Telegram channel where they've uploaded it, and as ref for Sarah's response tweet the archived copy from the Wayback Machine. -- BubbleBabis (talk) 18:46, 28 Septembr 2023 (UTC)
- Depending on means of archival, it may be a reliable source for the tweet's own contents. It would not be a reliable source for any surrounding context, and would not establish due weight for discussing this incident. Ashton-Cirillo has sent tens, maybe hundreds of thousands of tweets. We need to look to reliable sources to say which are worth discussing. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 02:15, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
- is an archived copy of Sarah's own (now deleted) tweet a reliable source? -- BubbleBabis (talk) 12:37, 28 Septembr 2023 (UTC)
- If you're unable to judge what counts as a reliable source for a contentious claim about a living person, please stop trying to add such claims. You've now cited six unreliable sources. With BLPs we don't get to play fast and loose, adding poorly sourced claims in hopes that reliable sources will come along. If you have questions about whether a source is reliable, you can ask on the article's talkpage or at WP:RSN. But until an actually reliable source covers this, please stop re-adding the text in question. Doing so is edit warring. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 23:14, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
Someone reverted you for not using edit summaries
editHello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! ~Anachronist (talk) 17:00, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

editThank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your edits to Kraken Regiment, please use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history, as well as helping prevent edit conflicts. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the article will look like without actually saving it.
It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance. Thank you. - Sumanuil. (talk to me) 03:42, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Kraken Regiment. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Points to note:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
- Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. TylerBurden (talk) 18:46, 9 November 2023 (UTC)

Finding consensus at Talk:Allegations of genocide in the 2023 Israeli attack on Gaza
editHey, thanks for pitching in at Talk:Allegations of genocide in the 2023 Israeli attack on Gaza. More attention on the subject can help the community come to a reasonable decision. But I noticed the input you provided is based on your personal analysis of the subject. This type of input can be counterproductive, because consensus on Wikipedia should be based on reliable sources and policy-based arguments. In the case of a page move, arguments should be based on what the subject is explicitly called in reliable sources, not what individual editors understand or determine it to be. Personal interpretation or analysis is generally given little to no weight when determining the results of the discussion. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 21:58, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution
edit Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Yinon Plan into Neoconservatism. 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. DanCherek (talk) 02:02, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
