Pretty tables

When using tables in articles, consider using class="wikitable" at the top of the table, like so: {| class="wikitable". This puts a grey border around all the cells, gives heading cells a grey tint, and uses many other common formatting settings without having to spell them all out.

Here are additional resources suitable for new as well as expert contributors:

Are you a paid editor with a conflict of interest?

edit
 

Hello Бабкинъ Михаилъ. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, and that you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to Black hat SEO.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists, and if it does not, from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Бабкинъ Михаилъ. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Бабкинъ Михаилъ|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, please do not edit further until you answer this message.

  • Dear Colleagues!

I have no material interest in creating articles I created. I translate related articles from Russian Wikipedia. In Russian Wikipedia, I created over 40 articles on completely different topics. Respectfully Бабкинъ Михаилъ (talk) 12:04, 3 December 2018 (UTC).Reply

As previously advised, your edits give the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, such as the edit you made to Rostselmash, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. You were asked to cease editing until you responded by either stating that you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits, or by complying with the mandatory requirements under the Wikimedia Terms of Use that you disclose your employer, client and affiliation. Again, you can post such a disclosure on your user page at User:Бабкинъ Михаилъ, and the template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Бабкинъ Михаилъ|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia. Dom from Paris (talk) 11:55, 3 December 2018 (UTC)Reply

  • Dear colleague Dom from Paris (talk) ! I blame and repent! I did not see this letter of yours. I am not financially connected with those people and organizations about whom I write or translate articles. Although I am personally acquainted with some people. And the Credo.Press portal I read on all the time. I ask you to leave the articles translated by me in the main Wikiepdia space.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Vera Zabotkina, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages AISB and DLG (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.)

Proposed deletion of Vera Zabotkina

edit

Hello, Бабкинъ Михаилъ,

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Onel5969 and it's nice to meet you :-)

I wanted to let you know that I’ve proposed an article that you started, Vera Zabotkina, for deletion because it meets one of the relevant criterion.The particular issue can be located in the notice, that is now-visible at the top of the article.

If you wish to prevent the deletion:

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

But, 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 raised issues. Otherwise, it may be deleted later by other means.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Onel5969}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.
