	I guess this comes from a currently permabanned {{user\|Namerst}} for the benefits of the non-Russian readers here is my understanding of the situation. A user translated from ru-wiki the article about one of the Russian largest air ticket aggregators ] and wrote or translated two related stabs. On ru-wiki the article was graded as Good article, but here it was considered a spam. I guess this is the difference is because of the expected readership. Most of users from Russia either use this aggregator or consider to use it and so they have some interest to its history and features, 99% of en-wiki readers do not and will not use it but very well aware of SEO efforts to promote internet sales. The company is certainly not the largest in Russia. The notability is only supported by Russian sources, etc. Thus, a large article about a hardly notable for the readers of en-wiki subject looks like spam and handled correspondingly. As the author so far has shown only interest to this company some sort of a Conflict of Interests cannot be excluded also.

			== ANI or AE? ==
	Here are the questions:
	: Should we put some efforts and salvage the article or is it inherently not-notable?
	: The user looks like he or she could make positive contributions. Should I try to negotiate unbanning for him (maybe with the promise not to edit articles related to aviasales.ru?

			Hello, I'm asking your advice on the dispute with Volunteer Marek. Please note that while I'm not a newcomer, I'm relatively inexperienced about conflict resolution on en.wiki. <br> Recently I had ] with User:Boud. The topic is withdrawing my ANI complaint and opening an AE request. At ANI you invited us to find a compromise. While I think that that is both desirable and possible with regard to the contents of the article on war crimes, I doubt we can compromise on civility. But the point is: as a relatively inexperienced editor, I might have misunderstood the standards of civility and tendentiousness that this community deems acceptable. If that is the case, I'd rather stop it here, don't waste my and other people's time, and possibly move to less controversial topic areas leaving the floor to others who have the stomach for this. If, on the other side, I haven't made a blatant mistake on civility and tendentiousness, and Volunteer Marek's behaviours are contrary to our guidelines and policies, or at least they are in a "grey area" where reasonable people could disagree on their appropriateness, then I'd be happy to bring the case to AE. <br> I'm not particularly keen on writing another complaint and I'm aware that this could easily backfire, but it might be worth it: exposing the way they behave and asking AE to uphold our policies might be the right thing to do, as I think that their contribution is quite harmful in that topic area. If in the process I get topic banned or blocked, that would be unpleasant, but not too hard to deal with: I have other projects and interests. <br> So the question for you is: AE or not AE? Your advice is very much appreciated. ] (]) (]) 00:40, 24 June 2022 (UTC)

			*Well, I might be too thick-skinned myself but I would have let the issue die if I were in your shoes. Find a compromise on the article and forget about some impolite discussion in between. I know ] for many years, occasionally the contacts were frustrating but overall he is a good guy. Anyway it is your choice. We have a policy ] that discourages going with someone's grievances to another forum if the decision of the first one is unsatisfactory. We have a dozen of different forums with intersecting authority and if somebody would go to all of them he or she would eventually get their foe block. I do not see any quick exit out of it. I guess if WP:AN/I decision would not help the problem in a week you can try another forum ]. On the other hand discouragement is not forbidding I guess you can drop a notice to ] maybe with a link to ] and ask if they think the issue is covered by ] - the arcom decision that sets simplified blocking policy for the tendentious editing in the area of Eastern European and Balkan issues.

			*:Thank you for the explanation and advice. I thought about it and decided to follow your suggestion: I will not pursue the matter further. In fact, I agree that WP:FORUMSHOP clearly applies to a case as this one. Out of inexperience I might have made a wrong decision about the best venue for addressing my quarrel, but VM cannot be burden with my procedural mistakes, and that would also be unfair to the editors who commented at AN/I. I should have followed Boud's advise immediately and asked to transfer the case at AE. However, I think that that mistake of mine will not prevent me from opening an AE request in case of future behaviours by VM that I deem disruptive or uncivil. If and when I will raise a case at AE, I will share a link to the discussion at AN/I, and I will hope that that doesn't fall under WP:FORMUSHOP.

	Welcome to the ninth issue of the English Misplaced Pages's ''Bots Newsletter'', your source for all things ]. Vicious bot-on-bot edit warring... superseded tasks... policy proposals... these stories, and more, are brought to you by Misplaced Pages's most distinguished newsletter about bots.

			Inactive administrators are encouraged to rejoin the project in earnest rather than to make token edits to avoid loss of administrative permissions.

	After a long hiatus between August 2019 and December 2021, there's quite a bit of ground to cover. Due to the vastness, I decided in December to split the coverage up into a few installments that covered six months each. Some people thought this was a good idea, since covering an entire year in a single issue would make it unmanageably large. Others thought this was stupid, since they were getting talk page messages about crap from almost three years ago. Ultimately, the question of whether each issue covers six months or a year is only relevant for a couple more of them, and then the problem will be behind us forever.

			Thank you for your past contributions to the project. <!-- Template:Inactive admin -->— ] 00:15, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
	Of course, you can also look on the bright side – we are making progress, and this issue will only be about crap from almost ''two'' years ago. Today we will pick up where we left off in December, and go through the first half of 2020.

	* In March, a long ] was started at ] by ] about the troubling trend of bots "expiring" without explanation after their owners became inactive. This can happen for a variety of reasons -- ] changes break code, hosting providers' software updates break code, hosting accounts lapse, software changes make bots' edits unnecessary, and policy changes make bots' edits unwanted. The most promising solution seemed to be ] hosting (although it has some problems of its own, like the occasional necessity of refactoring code).

ANI or AE?

Hello, I'm asking your advice on the dispute with Volunteer Marek. Please note that while I'm not a newcomer, I'm relatively inexperienced about conflict resolution on en.wiki.
Recently I had this conversation with User:Boud. The topic is withdrawing my ANI complaint and opening an AE request. At ANI you invited us to find a compromise. While I think that that is both desirable and possible with regard to the contents of the article on war crimes, I doubt we can compromise on civility. But the point is: as a relatively inexperienced editor, I might have misunderstood the standards of civility and tendentiousness that this community deems acceptable. If that is the case, I'd rather stop it here, don't waste my and other people's time, and possibly move to less controversial topic areas leaving the floor to others who have the stomach for this. If, on the other side, I haven't made a blatant mistake on civility and tendentiousness, and Volunteer Marek's behaviours are contrary to our guidelines and policies, or at least they are in a "grey area" where reasonable people could disagree on their appropriateness, then I'd be happy to bring the case to AE.
I'm not particularly keen on writing another complaint and I'm aware that this could easily backfire, but it might be worth it: exposing the way they behave and asking AE to uphold our policies might be the right thing to do, as I think that their contribution is quite harmful in that topic area. If in the process I get topic banned or blocked, that would be unpleasant, but not too hard to deal with: I have other projects and interests.
So the question for you is: AE or not AE? Your advice is very much appreciated. Gitz (talk) (contribs) 00:40, 24 June 2022 (UTC)

Well, I might be too thick-skinned myself but I would have let the issue die if I were in your shoes. Find a compromise on the article and forget about some impolite discussion in between. I know User:Volunteer Marek for many years, occasionally the contacts were frustrating but overall he is a good guy. Anyway it is your choice. We have a policy WP:FORUMSHOP that discourages going with someone's grievances to another forum if the decision of the first one is unsatisfactory. We have a dozen of different forums with intersecting authority and if somebody would go to all of them he or she would eventually get their foe block. I do not see any quick exit out of it. I guess if WP:AN/I decision would not help the problem in a week you can try another forum WP:AE. On the other hand discouragement is not forbidding I guess you can drop a notice to WP:AE maybe with a link to WP:AN/I and ask if they think the issue is covered by WP:ARBEE - the arcom decision that sets simplified blocking policy for the tendentious editing in the area of Eastern European and Balkan issues. This is your choice Alex Bakharev (talk) 03:32, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
Thank you for the explanation and advice. I thought about it and decided to follow your suggestion: I will not pursue the matter further. In fact, I agree that WP:FORUMSHOP clearly applies to a case as this one. Out of inexperience I might have made a wrong decision about the best venue for addressing my quarrel, but VM cannot be burden with my procedural mistakes, and that would also be unfair to the editors who commented at AN/I. I should have followed Boud's advise immediately and asked to transfer the case at AE. However, I think that that mistake of mine will not prevent me from opening an AE request in case of future behaviours by VM that I deem disruptive or uncivil. If and when I will raise a case at AE, I will share a link to the discussion at AN/I, and I will hope that that doesn't fall under WP:FORMUSHOP. Thank you again for your time and consideration.

Proposed deletion of File:Mirsky Book Cover.jpg

The file File:Mirsky Book Cover.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Improper use of non-free content. The image is used only on an article about the subject of the book, not the book itself, and there is no "critical commentary of the work" to speak of.

While all constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
