February 2015 edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. I am glad to see that you are discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Talk:Aleksandr Dugin are for discussion related to improving the article, not general discussion about the topic or unrelated topics. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you.

Thank you! edit

For your contributions to Ukraine related topics. At the moment many of them are very one sided and diversity of opinion is much appreciated to pursue NPOV.--MyMoloboaccount (talk) 00:04, 5 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

  • My pleasure :) Just like you, I hope that Poland and Russia will someday make peace. To tell you the truth, I'm not a big fan of Putin, and I dislike DPR and LPR, but I believe that NATO's hostility towards Russia will only escalate the conflict instead of solving it - and I do not want a Cold War II. --Buzz105 (talk) 07:42, 6 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

FYE edit

The use of Bellingcat credentials as an RS has been discussed here. I'm still unconvinced: see also this and this. Nonetheless, Wikipedia is not a WP:BATTLEGROUND, nor are we 'purveyors' of WP:THETRUTH. Oh, and, be careful about making 'friends' here who will want to 'encourage' you to 'play with them' because they have great 'respect' for you. NPOV is not as straight-forward as you might believe it to be, and it means that you most certainly won't find long-term regulars or sysops who always agree on everything.

Get your head around the big learning curve that Wikipedia is, then trust your own judgements. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 06:33, 8 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

ArbCom edit

You are involved in a recently filed request for arbitration. Please review the request at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case#Ukrainian conflict and, if you wish to do so, enter your statement and any other material you wish to submit to the Arbitration Committee. As threaded discussion is not permitted in most arbitration pages please ensure that you make all comments in your own section only. Additionally, the guide to arbitration and the Arbitration Committee's procedures may be of use.

Thanks, Tobby72 (talk) 18:08, 28 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

May 2016 edit

  Hello, I'm Omni Flames. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Media portrayal of the Ukrainian crisis  with this edit, without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Omni Flames let's talk about it 07:45, 4 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

 

Your recent editing history at Media portrayal of the Ukrainian crisis 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 article's 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.
You know very well that repeating the same WP:ES over and over is not a substitute for discussion... and that those edit summaries are truly poor excuses for WP:POV pushing. Stop your disruptive editing behaviour and be reminded that you are actively engaged in editing articles that fall under Eastern European arb sanctions. Iryna Harpy (talk) 05:24, 8 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

I'm repeating the same ES because no one actually provided counterarguments. Though the Euromaidan protesters were consistently accused by Russian media of having connections to the far-right, there was no consistent portrayal of them as "having LGBT agendas". Kiselyov only called the Klitschko brothers "gay icons" (it was a very personal attack, nothing regarding the movement as a whole), and Moskovskiy Komsomolets is yellow/tabloid-level, and is not representative of mainstream Russian media (there is Ukrainian press of similar level which claims that Putin has connections to ISIS — none of that is quoted in Wikipedia articles). --Buzz105 (talk) 13:54, 19 May 2016 (UTC)Reply
Er, you're dismissing the Timothy Snyder article as being hot air? If you have a genuine problem with the content - as opposed to problems with your own POV as to what 'consistent' means - take it to the article's talk page instead of edit warring via ES. No one is obliged to indulge you in WP:OVERCITE referencing because you have a point to make. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 23:48, 19 May 2016 (UTC)Reply
I think Snyder's article is OK per se, but using it as basis for the statement that the whole Euromaidan movement was "accused of LGBT agendas" is a great exaggeration. Mainstream Russian media (like Ria Novosti, RT, Sputnik, Lenta.ru, etc.) said absolutely nothing about "LGBT agendas of Euromaidan movement". --Buzz105 (talk) 09:27, 20 May 2016 (UTC)Reply
As I've said, if you feel that the merit of the content warrants further discussion, the issue should be taken to the article's talk page as we aren't the only two editors engaged in its development. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 23:18, 20 May 2016 (UTC)Reply
Just to let you know that I'm not ignoring the section you've started on the talk page. I've just had a bout of sinusitis for the last couple of days and aren't up to anything that taxes my brain, but I'll respond as soon as the back of my eyes stop shouting "Stop tormenting us!" at me. Cheers! --Iryna Harpy (talk) 03:36, 23 May 2016 (UTC)Reply
Please don't worry, there's no need for apologies at all :) Wishing you a quick recovery! --Buzz105 (talk) 23:03, 23 May 2016 (UTC)Reply
