History

edit

Please, stop trying to change the history [1][2]. It's very annoying. Vanjagenije (talk) 19:57, 23 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

That's just extremely insensitive in current climate. Kyiv was not part of RUSSIA in 1917 but of Russian Empire and Soviet Union, and it's important to mention that Kyiv is MODERN DAT UKRAINE. Check those wiki pages for references about History that you claim to know.
Ukrainian heritage has been eradicated for decades and incorporated with a pan-russian culture. Not at the time of war, for Ukrainian people like myself it is important to separate the two into legitimate categories, where all culture produced is not attributed to the colonising state.
Check your sources. Lettashtohr (talk) 12:20, 3 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
Russian Empire (and in this case Russian Provisional Government) and Russia are synonymous. And if you acknowledge that it was part of the Russian Empire, why change it to Ukraine? It looks like deliberately introducing factual errors for the sake of WP:RIGHTINGGREATWRONGS and continuing this can lead to a block. Mellk (talk) 13:11, 3 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
Russian empire is not a synonym for modern day Russia. I don't know even where to begin to explain that highly colonial pan-russianism. It's like saying that Budapest (Hungary) is now Austria, in a 19th century article because it was part of Austrian Empire then. One must not allow coloniser to inherit the cultural heritage of the temporary colonised lands beyond the time of the existence of the coloniser's Empire.
The comment that - --in April 1917 Kiev was part of Russia--> is just not true, Russia did not exist then. In until March 1917 Kyiv was Russian Empire, in March it was part of Ukrainian People's Republic and governed by Tsentralna Rada until 1922.
So no, in those 3 years Kyiv was not Russia but was more Ukrainian than ever in its history until it fully became Ukraine in 1991.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Council_of_Ukraine
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukrainian_People%27s_Republic
If we were to be exact and mention the actual origin of Deren, it will be closer to Ukraine or Ukrainian people's republic than to Russia, territory of the later did not include Kyiv when it was formed in 1991.
As for Gogol - in his time nationality like "Russian Empire" did not exist. If one considers his Ukrainian upbringing, origin where he was born and the anti Russian empirialist themes he covered in his works, his nationality = his ethnic origin (or Narodnost in Russian) which is Ukrainian and not Russian. Source - the article about Gogol. Lettashtohr (talk) 09:26, 4 April 2022 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm Wikipelli. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions—specifically this edit to Janusz Ostrogski—because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk. Thanks. Wikipelli Talk 23:41, 30 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Wiśniowiecki, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Ukrainian. 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.)

Introduction to contentious topics

edit

You 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.

Please note that the community decided that non-extended-confirmed edits (such as you) may not edit articles on topic related to Russian-Ukrainian conflict. If you continue, your account can be blocked from editing. Ymblanter (talk) 08:30, 7 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
I have suggested an extended edit with provided numerous references. As someone with Art history degree, I can see blatant issues in the artists biographies. Moreover the references of website articles, exhibitions and academic journals should speak for themselves. Lettashtohr (talk) 09:08, 7 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
Since you do not seem to understand, I will take you to the arbitration enforcement now. Ymblanter (talk) 09:13, 7 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
This topic is not related to the WAR, it's about Art. I have added multiple academic and institutional references. If you choose to ignore the facts then what are you even doing in the WIKI? What an amazingly authoritarian move. Rather than actually read the references, you chose to block from editing. Maybe rather than calling a user "non-extended-confirmed edits" you actually look at the references they provide? I guess keeping it cosily non-factual is comfy Lettashtohr (talk) 09:22, 7 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement#Lettashtohr Ymblanter (talk) 09:34, 7 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
What Ymblanter is referring to is this community consensus that editors who lack the extendedconfirmed permission (by default granted automatically at 500 edits and 30 days' tenure) may not edit about the Russo-Ukrainian War. Administrators may enforce this prohibition with blocks from editing, if necessary. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 19:50, 8 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Ukraine edit request

edit

Just to let you know, I declined/paused your edit request at Talk:Ukraine, see that page for details. Cheers, Edward-Woodrow :) [talk] 21:09, 7 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Notice that you are now subject to an arbitration enforcement sanction

edit

The following sanction now applies to you:

Lettashtohr may not edit any article to emphasize connections to Ukraine (broadly construed) over connections to Russia (broadly construed), including changing "Kiev" to "Kyiv", without first obtaining a consensus on the talkpage, unless they are reverting to enforce an existing consensus.

You have been sanctioned as a result of a recent arbitration enforcement thread, due to repeated nationality changes without consensus. Please note: "Broadly construed" includes things like changing "Russian Empire" to "present-day Ukraine". And theyexception at the end for reverts, please think of that as a safety valve, not a loophole. It's there to keep you from getting blocked for accidentally violating this sanction; not as something for you to test the limits of.

This sanction is imposed in my capacity as an uninvolved administrator under the authority of the Arbitration Committee's decision at Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Eastern Europe#Final decision and, if applicable, the contentious topics procedure. This sanction has been recorded in the log of sanctions. If the sanction includes a ban, please read the banning policy to ensure you understand what this means. If you do not comply with this sanction, you may be blocked for an extended period, by way of enforcement of this sanction—and you may also be made subject to further sanctions.

You may appeal this sanction using the process described here. I recommend that you use the arbitration enforcement appeals template if you wish to submit an appeal to the arbitration enforcement noticeboard. You may also appeal directly to me (on my talk page), before or instead of appealing to the noticeboard. Even if you appeal this sanction, you remain bound by it until you are notified by an uninvolved administrator that the appeal has been successful. You are also free to contact me on my talk page if anything of the above is unclear to you.  -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 17:11, 18 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
