Please avoid personal comments about other editors on article talk pages

Welcome to Wikipedia. Re this, a friendly suggestion you read WP:AGF and avoid personal comments about other editors. Thanks! BobFromBrockley (talk) 09:51, 5 April 2022 (UTC)Reply

No Problem - point taken. I will ensure that this is done. But one question I do have - is simply this - how can an article that for all intents and purposes been proven incorrect in some of its points be allowed to remain up. I'm referring to the Azov regiment being classified as Neo-Nazi's and Anti-Semitic when its been proven countless times that they are not. How can reference be made in this article to the linking of a far right nationalist movement called the Azov Movement to the Azov Regiment when its been proven that they are not.
Also you have a person called Elinruby who has taken upon himself to rabidly defend this position and who is deliberately rude and obtrusive.
The reason for asking this is that I look upon Wikipedia as an encyclopedia replacement and as such accuracy is vital which in this case it is not.

I forgot to add in - I'm getting the impression with Wikipedia that as long as you are left leaning then everything is hunky dory - but God forbid if you are conservative or right leaning then you are automatically labelled as a Nazi fascist and anti-Semitic and any position you take is lampooned. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Delliott5 (talkcontribs) 11:34, 5 April 2022 (UTC)Reply

I think there might be some confusion. After reviewing Talk:Azov Battalion, it seems like the editor you are referring to (Elinruby) is taking the position opposite to the one you are describing. In any case, Wikipedia articles are constantly changing over time to accommodate new published reliable sources and to eliminate information that is obsolete or confirmed to be unreliable. Article content is written according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and content disputes are resolved through consensus. If you would like to have your view represented in the discussion, all you have to do is participate and support your claims with reliable sources. — Newslinger talk 07:32, 7 April 2022 (UTC)Reply

Controversial topic area alert

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in Eastern Europe or the Balkans. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

To opt out of receiving messages like this one, place {{Ds/aware}} on your user talk page and specify in the template the topic areas that you would like to opt out of alerts about. For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.
