Signing in articles edit

  Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I've noticed that you have been adding your signature to some of your edits to articles, such as the edit you made to Yuri Nosenko. This is a common mistake to make and has probably already been corrected. Please do not sign your edits to article content, as the article's edit history serves the function of attributing contributions, so you only need to use your signature to make discussions more readable, such as on article talk pages or project pages such as the Village Pump. If you would like further information about distinguishing types of pages, please see What is an article? Again, thank you for contributing, and enjoy your Wikipedia experience! Thank you. - Arjayay (talk) 09:34, 18 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

Referencing as you go edit

Adding (or removing) content while planning to reference it later will get content reverted, and you warned about vandalism (some of that by ClueBot, an automated vandalism detector). Avoid this by referencing as you go. Consider drafting content in your Sandbox, the adding it to the article after the ref is prepared. David notMD (talk) 14:12, 20 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

Your thread has been archived edit

 

Hi Kisevalter Was Nash! The thread you created at the Wikipedia:Teahouse, How to re-confirm my e-mail address?, has been archived because there was no discussion for a few days (usually at least two days, and sometimes four or more). You can still find the archived discussion here. If you have any additional questions that weren't answered then, please feel free to create a new thread.


The archival was done by Lowercase sigmabot III, and this notification was delivered by Muninnbot, both automated accounts. You can opt out of future notifications by placing {{bots|deny=Muninnbot}} here on your user talk page. Muninnbot (talk) 19:03, 20 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

Why hasn't my request been granted? Because there was no discussion on it? Kisevalter Was Nash (talk) 20:04, 20 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

Never mind. I see now that you were referring to a different issue. My bad. Thanks. Kisevalter Was Nash (talk) 21:39, 20 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

Would someone please create an article on deceased CIA officer and author Tennent H. Bagley? edit

Bagley, who was a high-level CIA officer and worked with the more widely known George Kisevalter, was the chief handler and eventual "harsh interrogator" of one of the Cold War's most controversial KGB defectors to the U.S., Yuri Nosenko. After reading the file on another recent KGB defector (Anatoliy Golitsyn) shortly after Bagley and Kisevalter had interviewed Nosenko five or six times in Geneva in 1962, Bagley became convinced that Nosenko was a false defector. Bagley then convinced the head of CIA Counterintelligence, James Angleton, of same, but Nosenko was eventually "cleared" by others in CIA, remunerated for his troubles and hired to teach counterintelligence to its new recruits.

PS: Just be sure to include references to the three things Bagley wrote: 1) His book "Spy Wars: Moles, Mysteries, and Deadly Games" (New Haven, CT: Yale University Press, 2007), 2) His book "Spymaster: Startling Cold War Revelations of a Soviet KGB Chief" New York: Skyhorse Publishing, 2013, 3) and his journal article: "Ghosts of the Spy Wars: A Personal Reminder to Interested Parties" International Journal of Intelligence and CounterIntelligence 28, no. 1 (Spring 2015): 1-37.

Writing that article is outside my abilities and interests, sorry, but noting a couple of things that may help you or someone else to write it. (A) you'll need some third-party sources in addition to his own writings. (B) For anyone questioning notability, NYTimes and WaPo published obituaries:
Martin, Douglas (3 March 2014). "Tennent H. Bagley, Who Aided, Then Mistrusted a Soviet Spy, Dies at 88". The New York Times.
Langer, Emily (24 February 2014). "Tennent H. 'Pete' Bagley, noted CIA officer, dies at 88". Washington Post.
Also, there is T. H. Bagley (Q9356716) and pl:Tennent Bagley. The Polish article is brief; it mentions Smith (2003), Encyclopedia of the Central Intelligence Agency, as a source.

Igor Kochnov moved to draftspace edit

An article you recently created, Igor Kochnov, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Aleksander Kopatzky, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Igor Orlov. 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.)
