January 2018

I expect that are very busy. But please make time to read the stuff you delete before you delete it.

With the article on Russian military intervention in Ukraine (2014–present), you keep deleting the following:

Rostov Oblast

The reason you keep giving is:

This article is about Russia's military intervention in a neighbouring country, the location of which cannot be within one of Russia's own provinces.

But the source says that Russian troops in Rostov Oblast have fired shells into Ukraine. Now do you see why it is included?-- Toddy1 (talk) 20:21, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

Toddy1, Yes the source does say that but the entire article itself is about Russia's intervention in Ukraine. Intervention in Ukraine cannot take place in a Russian region, it makes absolutely 0 sense. --174.114.211.255 (talk) 03:37, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

Firing artillery shells into Ukraine is Rostov Oblast intervention.-- Toddy1 (talk) 06:58, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

Toddy1, Even if military activity occurred from the Rostov Oblast, it is in no way the location of the Russian intervention in Ukraine. That makes absolutely no sense. That is not what the article is about. Maybe it could be put as one of the locations for the War in Donbass, but not for this article. Russia's presence in the Rostov Oblast is not intervention in Ukraine. --174.114.211.255 (talk) 08:36, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

Edit warring

Your recent editing history at Russian military intervention in Ukraine (2014–present) shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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 BRD 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 your 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 don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.-- Toddy1 (talk) 20:24, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
