June 2010 edit

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page The Grand Principality of Litva has been reverted.
Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. I removed the following link(s): http://www.facebook.com/#!/group.php?gid=118676594839906.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 13:46, 23 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

Saint Hanna's Church in Vilnia, Litva edit

Not, Saint Anne?

  Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia! I noticed that you recently added commentary to an article. While Wikipedia welcomes editors' opinions on an article and how it could be changed, these comments are more appropriate for the article's accompanying talk page. If you post your comments there, other editors working on the same article will notice and respond to them and your comments will not disrupt the flow of the article. However, keep in mind that even on the talk page of an article, you should limit your discussion to improving the article. Article talk pages are not the place to discuss opinions of the subject of articles nor are such pages a forum. Thank you. -- Marcus Qwertyus (talk) 17:20, 24 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

  Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. When you make a change to an article, please provide an edit summary for your edits. Doing so helps everyone to understand the intention of your edit. It is also helpful to users reading the edit history of the page. Thank you. -- Marcus Qwertyus (talk) 17:27, 24 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not delete or edit legitimate talk page comments, as you did at Talk:Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Such edits are disruptive and appear to be vandalism. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. JamesBWatson (talk) 17:37, 24 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

  You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Saint Hanna's Church in Vilnia, Litva. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. If the edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice.

This is English Wikipedia. Thus English language has to be used in the articles. The English name of the church in question is "St. Anne's Church". You should note that this name is different from the Lithuanian name ("Šv. Onos bažnyčia") and is actually closer to the Belarusian name. Google search returns no other Web pages that use the name "Saint Hanna's Church" for any church. The situation with "The Grand Principality of Litva" ([1]) is similar: essentially no one uses such name - not even in Belarus. Thus it simply cannot be used in Wikipedia.

Furthermore, there are useful things you could do: look for the reliable sources (articles in scientific journals, conference proceedings etc.) that describe the theory according to which Grand Duchy of Lithuania was a Belarusian state. After all, there must be some suitable source, right? --Martynas Patasius (talk) 23:12, 24 June 2010 (UTC)Reply
