Discretionary sanctions 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.

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.

ANI topic

I opened an ANI topic about your editing style, Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Ukrainian nationalist editor NachtReisender. You are welcome to reply there.--Ymblanter (talk) 19:52, 24 September 2019 (UTC)

Dnipro

You used a source template here. Please check if the matter isn't easily to be seen sourced elsewhere. There is an entire section on that matter(Typonymy) and you can find the sources there. There are lots of sources that use that name in the description, too... Please do a bit more research than that.Lurking shadow (talk) 11:18, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

I came her to say exactly the same. This is a long article, and there are plenty of sources for the old name, including a dedicated section and the end of the history secrion. in these cases, WP:MOS discourages adding sources to the lede, in order to keep it more readable. It looks like you are not going to be blocked this time, and I (again) strongly recommend you to read the manual of style, it could help you to avoid running into similar problems in the future.--Ymblanter (talk) 11:26, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

• You're out on thin ice, NachtReisender, so don't push your luck. POV-pushers, and yes, that is exactly what you are, always end up blocked, sooner or later. - Tom | Thomas.W ^talk 13:19, 29 September 2019 (UTC)
• Thomas.W, ridiculous xD -NachtReisender (talk) 13:23, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

• Let me give other readers here a couple of examples: you insist on 8 New Dates being a Russian-Ukrainian movie for no other reason than that one of the actors is Ukrainian (in spite of production company, producers, director etc etc being Russian; by that logic hardly any American movie would be American, since they all have one or more foreign actors in the cast), you claim that another movie (Passions (1994 film)) was Ukrainian (first claiming it was Russian-Ukrainian and then changing that to only Ukrainian) for no other reason than that according to you the director, Kira Muratova, was Ukrainian (which by itself is ridiculous, and is made even more ridiculous by the fact that she was of Russian and Romanian descent, born in Romania, educated in Russia etc, but lived part of her life in the Ukrainian SSR during Soviet times), you repeatedly ([1], [2]) changed the nationality of Alexander Dovzhenko from Soviet, linking to the USSR, to Ukrainian, linking to the Ukrainian SSR, in spite of there not existing such a nationality, etc, etc. That's blatant nationalistic POV, and not acceptable. - Tom | Thomas.W ^talk 15:35, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

What Thomas W says is that your edits seem to have the purpose to insert your knowledge or your personal views into the article instead of what has been published by reliable independent sources.Lurking shadow (talk) 17:02, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

Lurking shadow Of course OS is a bad thing, it's obvious. I never add to articles any information that is not verified by sources. My mistake was that I did not leave a link to them, I admit it. However, I leave i left it on Administrators' noticeboard, where I was accused of the OS -NachtReisender (talk) 14:01, 2 October 2019 (UTC)

• Thomas.W You are mistaken, dear sir. But there is nothing wrong with that, everyone makes mistakes ;) -NachtReisender (talk) 14:03, 2 October 2019 (UTC)
  • Be careful. OR is not just not using reliable sources, it's also interpreting reliable sources. If you make a non-obvious interpretation you are engaging in OR, too. For example, if you call something ukrainian-russian based on that a source says that an ukrainian was part of it then that's OR. It's not OR if a source expressly calls it like this. Even if it isn't OR, you still need to look at the balance of sources - if your source is the only reliable source saying X in a sea of reliable sources saying Y then your source has to be disregarded as an outlier. If both viewpoints are backed up by reliable sources in an about equal manner then both viewpoints belong into the article. If one of the views is a minority view, but not an outlier, then it belongs into the article, too, appropiately labeled. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lurking shadow (talk • contribs) 18:28, 2 October 2019 (UTC)

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

I noticed your recent edit to Alexei Navalny does not have an edit summary. Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

• User contributions
• Recent changes
• Watchlists
• Revision diffs
• IRC channels
• Related changes
• New pages list
• Article editing history

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks!--Renat 17:33, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

July 2022

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Joseph Karakis, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Sumanuil. 22:42, 17 July 2022 (UTC)

Sumanuil In what way exactly does my edit disturb uniformity or cause readability or accessibility problems? —NachtReisender (talk) 22:45, 17 July 2022 (UTC)

Specifically, Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Ukrainian places): For unambiguously historical topics (e.g. Kiev Offensive), do not change existing content." Also, MOS:PLACE: "Avoid anachronism. An article about Junípero Serra should say he lived in Alta Mexico, not in California, because the latter entity did not yet exist in Serra's time. The Romans invaded Gaul, not France, and Thabo Mbeki was the president of the Republic of South Africa, not of the Cape Colony." And regardless, one should not blindly replace terms, as they may be part of file names, reference URLS, or internal links. Sumanuil. 23:43, 17 July 2022 (UTC)

Sashko Dermansky moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Sashko Dermansky, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more in-depth coverage about the subject itself, with citations from reliable, independent sources in order to show it meets WP:GNG. It should have at least three. And please remember that interviews, as primary sources, do not count towards GNG.(?) 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.Onel5969 ^{TT me} 11:58, 11 February 2023 (UTC)

Concern regarding Draft:Sashko Dermansky

Your draft article, Draft:Sashko Dermansky

Hello, NachtReisender. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "Sashko Dermansky".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion.
