Pavel Petrovich Korowkin

Will you take a look on the biography of these Russian mathematician. I made it last year by translation from the german wikipedia article de:Pawel Petrowitsch Korowkin. It has not get any large contribution ever that. The german wikipedia also has a article de:Korowkin-Approximation. Please take a look in these articles. I am not sure whether they are notable or not. Solomon7968 (talk) 22:52, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

I will have a look, thanks for pointing out.--Ymblanter (talk) 06:59, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

Donguz Formation

Hi Ymblanter! Donguz Formation was recently created and could use a couple of edits so it doesn't get speedy deleted. Do you have time to look at some Russian sources? --Tobias1984 (talk) 07:13, 27 May 2013 (UTC)

I will have a look, but this is clearly not speedy deletion material. Added to the watchlist just in case.--Ymblanter (talk) 07:17, 27 May 2013 (UTC)

User talk:Ezhiki#List of Russian landscape painters

Ярослав, вы не заглянете туда, если найдется время? Там Ленинградартист просто развернул деятельность, а мне не верят. Очень по вам скучаю :(( --Shakko (talk) 19:54, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

Обязательно, но, наверное, уже завтра: только что вернулся из Польши, три дня был без интернета вообще.--Ymblanter (talk) 20:00, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

The Little Humpbacked Horse (ballet)

Mr. administrator, I need your help! Проверьте, пожалуйста, my English. Lawrentia (talk) 01:11, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

Вечером прилечу домой, посмотрю.--Ymblanter (talk) 06:07, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

• Конечно. И сначала вы отдохнете после дороги. Я там явно не справилась с английским. Воспользовалась транслейтером в Гугле и Яндексе, но после них надо вызывать живого переводчика. Спасибо. Ёжики сейчас на выходных. Извините, что я опять к вам. И опять со своим балетом. --Lawrentia (talk) 12:36, 3 August 2013 (UTC)
  • Thank you, Ярослав. Вы очень хорошо перевели с моего английского на нормальный английский язык. Славочка, а там дальше - совсем непонятно? Дело в том, что этот балет стал краегольным камнем, окончательно определившим развитие русского балета. Может, это хоть кому-нибудь будет интересно? А потом, в 1930-х годах Сталин полностью довершил уничтожение Московского балета: он перевел в Москву ленинградцев, которые заняли все места. В результате балетное направление Московской труппы было уничтожено, его немного сохранил Игорь Моисеев в своем ансамбле. Ну ладно, спасибо. --Lawrentia (talk) 00:48, 5 August 2013 (UTC)

    Дальше ещё не смотрел, сегодня постараюсь продолжить.--Ymblanter (talk) 05:22, 5 August 2013 (UTC)/

Canada lists

// There are a number of problems with the Canadian historic places lists. They include:

• provincial lists are too long (some are over 1,000 entries) and need to be split
• lists are not sorted, and are not sortable even by municipality, due to the way the address was dumped
• don't use {{coord}}, so can't use {{GeoGroup}} for mapping
• references numbers (into the CRHP) are sometimes inaccurate, and need to be verified
• the same place may be multiply designated (federal/provincial/municipal, sometimes multiple federal)
• there are missing entries due to the way the data was retrieved

I have no easy ideas on how to address the last point, so am focusing on the other items. What I'm doing is a multi-step process:

1. Fill out the municipality field in the {{HPC row}} templates and deleted the municipality (and redundant "Canada") from the address field (if no municipality is given, try going to the referenced CRHP entry to figure it out)
2. Sort entries by municipality and count entries to figure out how to split the list. This is generally along the lines of counties or their equivalent (some Canadian counties have been supplanted by regional municipalities, see the Nova Scotia list for examples); you'll have to figure out which counties places are in
3. Split the big list; I've not been explicitly seeking consensus, but if the history indicates it might be needed, best check for it. The remaining steps are then done to each sublist.
4. Validate that the id numbers actually link to the proper CRHP listing. If they don't, find the right one by searching the CRHP (every listing I've seen with a wrong id was listed under a different one)
5. Merge duplicated listings where possible (it isn't if there is more than one federal designation, for example, but provincial and municipal listings can be merged into those)
6. Sort the list by primary alpha words (see the Nova Scotia or PEI lists for examples)
7. Change references to {{HPC row}} to {{HPC rowt}}, which uses {{coord}}. This requires changing "lat" and "lon" to "latd" and "longd", and changing the sign on the longitude. (IMHO the last is lame, but the template was already in use on several lists before I took this on)
8. Make sure municipality names are linked (I usually do this in conjunction with one of the other passes, and don't worry about redlinks)
9. If the name field contains pipe links, add "namea" field containing just the name, otherwise the coordinate field gets screwed up
10. Add {{GeoGroup}} and a locator map to the top of the list

I have done this for Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, PEI (almost done), and am starting in on New Brunswick. Others have previously done work on the Canadian territory lists (Yukon, Northwest, Nunavut, all fairly modest in length), and those for British Columbia and Saskatchewan. This leaves Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario, and Quebec to do, where some splitting has been done, but little else.

Things this work does not do fix:

• making the list sortable by address, which would require adding sort keys to the municipality field so that the listings get sorted properly within municipality (see {{sort}})
• making the list properly sortable by name (I tried putting sort keys in the name field, and it caused problems with the coordinates)

Did I mention this is tedious work? Thanks for helping! Magic♪piano 20:53, 22 August 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the explanations. I will have a look at Alberta tomorrow.--Ymblanter (talk) 20:56, 22 August 20/13 (UTC)

Japan

Hi Ymblanter, in case you want to help: The Historic Sites of Japan need to be converted to use {{NHS Japan header}} and {{NHS Japan row}}. For now only the national part. I did a couple as examples. Multichill (talk) 15:41, 25 August 2013 (UTC)

Thanks, I will have a look.--Ymblanter (talk) 16:08, 25 August 2013 (UTC)

Hello; Is it possible to do any conversion by ?bot? as seems to have been done for these Chinese ones? The format of the Japanese lists is intended to be internally similar, Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 11:39, 26 August 2013 (UTC)

I guess this is more a question to @Multichill: than to me, but I guess if it were he would do the conversion himself without asking me. Let us wait what he answers. If the conversion is not possible, I volunteer to do at least some of the manual conversion (one-two lists per day).--Ymblanter (talk) 11:50, 26 August 2013 (UTC)

I tried converting with a bot, but didn't manage to do it without too much mess so I abandoned that. Multichill (talk) 16:51, 26 August 2013 (UTC)

Cleaning up the Belarus geographical mess

I'm getting unstuck in trying to compile a table of terminology for the Belarus geographical naming conventions. There appears to be a flood of new articles and stubs recently and it appears that English Misplaced Pages is now leading the way with transliteration/transcription norms (which, as we know, simply isn't Misplaced Pages's role). As the contributors don't seem to know what to do other than follow the current directives, we're ending up with orphaned pages and broken links absolutely everywhere.

My thoughts are to follow the Belarusian government standards for the English speaking world (which DON'T involve the irritating version of what is essentially Latinka), i.e. as laid out per this map and other official sites. What's good enough for the Belarus government should be good enough for us.

You can check the sad beginnings in my sandbox. Any constructive input from sensible Wikipedians would be appreciated.

I've left this message on Ezhiki and TaalVerbeteraar's pages as well. Cheers! --Iryna Harpy (talk) 04:54, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

The beginning seems reasonable, thank you.--Ymblanter (talk) 17:53, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

Kirghiz Soviet Socialist Republic

Greetings. Any chance you could proof/source improve my Russian translation of the history and expand it further?♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:29, 20 September 2014 (UTC)

Thanks, I will have a look.--Ymblanter (talk) 15:35, 20 September 2014 (UTC)

RE: CPSU Central Committee members

That's great! First, I'm already on it; see 27th Secretariat of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, 27th Politburo of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (thinking of reorganizing this one to as to make it similar to the one found in the Secretariat article), every CPSU congress article, and officeholders in general (I'm guessing if we have articles we can begin to add the info to the infoboxes as well). Thinking similar to the outline on the Politburo officeholders, see the Mikhail Gorbachev article, it says "Full member of the 25th, 26th, 27th, 28th Politburo". And of course when we have the articles we can make links to the them (most commonly know is to just write Central Committee, and in the few cases the numbering is used, it redirects to the Central Committee article). I'm currently creating articles for the Secretariat membership. --TIAYN (talk) 10:45, 24 October 2014 (UTC)

Thanks, I will start at some point (need to finish first what I am doing right now).--Ymblanter (talk) 11:10, 24 October 2014 (UTC)

Что-то не так?

Your edit did not improve the article.--Ymblanter (talk) 16:39, 1 March 2015 (UTC)

• Ymblanter, sorry, I thought it would be better like that. Ilya Drakonov (talk) 16:33, 2 March 2015 (UTC).

User:101el capitan

Your 24 hr block of 101el capitan had no effect on that user. 101el capitan went right back to edit warring on the same article, reverting Lukeno94. Thought I should let you know. --Kansas Bear (talk) 16:40, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

Thanks, I now blocked them for a week, but I am afraid for the next block you would have to ask another administrator (unless they start vandalizing articles or so).--Ymblanter (talk) 17:05, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

Explanation regarding the deletion of website

https://en.wikipedia.org/InfoQuest this Misplaced Pages page was deleted with the reference by you, As a member of that function I know that some of the information is wrong and we will update it original sources if you help me in the recovery of that webpage. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ashokkumar01 (talk • contribs) 17:52, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

No, the consensus of the deletion discussion was that the website is not notable.--Ymblanter (talk) 18:02, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

Yes the Website was not notable earlier, but the website has been changed to the address infoquest15.in. have a look at that. please help us to recover the Misplaced Pages page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ashokkumar01 (talk • contribs) 03:54, 8 March 2015 (UTC)

Eva Carneiro editing history

Hello, could you please restore the history of Eva Carneiro before it was deleted by AfD. The person passes GNG now in my opinion. Thanks, JMHamo (talk) 21:49, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

 Done--Ymblanter (talk) 21:54, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

Regarding the InfoQuest Misplaced Pages Page

Hi, You said that the website is not notable. I too agree with that its because the Domain has been changed to infoquest15.in. please help us to undelete the Misplaced Pages page of InfoQuest. Thanks in advance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ashokkumar01 (talk • contribs) 06:07, 8 March 2015 (UTC)

The notability does not change just because you change the domain.--Ymblanter (talk) 07:30, 8 March 2015 (UTC)

AMERICAN SNIPER

they started it by trying to be bias against American sniper in favor of mockingjay i dont know whats the fuzz is all about im just stating a fact that American sniper will take the domestic boxoffice crown and they're like kicking and screaming about it

The fuzz was that you wen way abover WP:3RR, and you are clearly set to repeat this record now.--Ymblanter (talk) 08:03, 8 March 2015 (UTC)

its moot and academic at this point i feel i won this one so im not pressing it anymore no point anymore lol — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.151.124.167 (talk) 08:17, 8 March 2015 (UTC)

Right, and your prize is one week long block.--Ymblanter (talk) 08:22, 8 March 2015 (UTC)

Regarding the InfoQuest Misplaced Pages Page

I am not getting why the Misplaced Pages page was deleted so will you please tell me how can I restore the Misplaced Pages page of infoQuest So that I can do that. Thanks in advance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.242.250.151 (talk) 08:36, 8 March 2015 (UTC)

No, it is not possible, as I already explained on two occasions on this page immediately above this section.--Ymblanter (talk) 08:39, 8 March 2015 (UTC)

Thanks. Did you see my comments on this and the IP socks? This is an ongoing problem. I was hoping it had stopped. Dougweller (talk) 21:59, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

I have only seen your discussion with Ezhiki at his talk page.--Ymblanter (talk) 22:06, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

That's it basically, I think it included an ANI link. Dougweller (talk) 21:48, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

Barnstar for Art & Feminism Challenge

	Thanks for your contributions to the Art & Feminism Challenge in 2015!
	Hello Ymblanter , thanks for adding Anna Ostroumova-Lebedeva and Ellen Thesleff to the English Misplaced Pages! I hope you will participate again during the next A&F challenge in 2016, and if you send me your snail-mail address I will send you some real stroopwafels in gratitude, Jane (talk) 14:37, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

Thank you Jane.--Ymblanter (talk) 14:42, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

ANI harassment closure

At WP:ANI#Harassment, I was not forum-shopping. I was there about a WP:CONDUCTDISPUTE over a user’s WikiBullying—an issue I had not discussed anywhere else besides his own Talk page—and that same user grossly mischaracterized my purpose in being at ANI. So I ask that you please review your closing of that discussion. —174.141.182.82 (talk) 19:54, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

No. Everything you needed to discuss you can discuss at AN.--Ymblanter (talk) 20:01, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

I should discuss harassment in a discussion about an RFC the user wasn’t involved in? —174.141.182.82 (talk) 20:04, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

Yes.--Ymblanter (talk) 20:09, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

’Kaaay… is there anything in policy about that? Or any successful precedent? WP:DR explicitly suggests AN/I. —174.141.182.82 (talk) 20:13, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

WP:Trolling--Ymblanter (talk) 20:14, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

Are you suggesting I should have accused him of trolling? Or are you making an unsubstantiated accusation towards me? If the latter, I don’t know how you got that idea if not from the very thing I reported to ANI, but every action I have taken was done in good faith. If you don’t believe me, feel free to take me to ANI or WP:RFCC or something, or even just have a civil conversation where you ask me for justification for whatever you found questionable. —174.141.182.82 (talk) 20:26, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

The reason this other user reverts you is because he believes you are disrupting the RfC closure. Those are not two different things, but just one. It arguably could be best started at ANI, but it does not matter, once you started it at AN, let us confine it to AN. Note that several users commented in the ANI thread before I closed it, and none of the comments was favorable to your cause.--Ymblanter (talk) 20:34, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

That would be understandable if it made any sense to say that “How do I do X?” was disruptive to “We should all do X.” And even then, it still wouldn’t excuse the personal attacks and total lack of WP:AGF. —174.141.182.82 (talk) 20:44, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

Well, you may of course open ANI against me, but do not be surprised if you get blocked (not by me obviously). I explained you twice how you should proceed. Whether you want to listen depends on you.--Ymblanter (talk) 20:48, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

And you justified that explanation by obliquely calling me a troll. That doesn’t exactly seem like a good-faith explanation. But I wasn’t referring to you with that last sentence; I can at least assume good faith on your part by the fact that you were actually willing to discuss, for which I thank you. —174.141.182.82 (talk) 20:53, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

If you were actually using WP:Trolling to refer to m:What is a troll?#Misidentified trolls, I sincerely apologize for assuming bad faith in it, and doubly thank you for clarifying afterward. —174.141.182.82 (talk) 21:45, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

Cfd result

FYI -- while I of course have no problem with your reading of consensus, I think the recent CFD deletion discussion and result that I discuss here was flawed, for the reasons I give on that talk page. --Epeefleche (talk) 08:30, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

Sorry, my reading of consensus is exactly that the category is upmerged. If consensus changes, the category may be recreated. But for the time being, we need to live with what we have.--Ymblanter (talk) 08:33, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

As I said, I have no quarrel with your reading of consensus.

I do have a problem with the nom's assertions, which seem to have been accepted without questioning. Which are wrong. I didn't see this -- are the relevant wikiprojects pinged when we have cat deletions? I guess not. That's something that we have with AfDs, that would serve cat deletions well, where lack of information drives a result. What's the best way to have a new discussion on this, inviting people who have heard of the 9,000-athlete Maccabiah Games (or who come across it in their research of the topic) to participate in the discussion?

Re-reading his prior posting, which he pointed to as a basis for his nom, I'm even further amazed. He wrote: "I have never heard Italian ancestry discussed in an Australian sports context. It's simply not a topic of study, hence why global search results simply mirror the content of this Misplaced Pages category. .... On a similar basis, I think Category:Jewish Australian sportspeople also warrants deletion as a non-topic. .... I can't locate anything to suggest that intersection is a topic of study." I'm flummoxed at what google search he performed, if any, to come up with such an untrue assertion as to the relevance of Jewish ancestry in an Australian sports context. --Epeefleche (talk) 08:38, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

I see Misplaced Pages:Deletion review as an immediate option.--Ymblanter (talk) 08:41, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

Ah -- I forgot # 3 (if significant new information has come to light since a deletion that would justify recreating the deleted page). I imagine that is what you think this may fit under. Tx. I will wait for the nom's response. Perhaps that will ease this process. Epeefleche (talk) 08:45, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks again!

I wonder whether Nuland's article could get the longer-term lower-level (autoconfirmed) protection that Kagan's did, to give it a bit of help after a week. Nuland's article has been getting more vandalism/harassment lately. DearODear 20:36, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi Ymblanter

Hi: quick preadvice in case another issue blows up with Afterwriting, this time over the plural abbr of Reverend. This is a little painful to have to keep arguing with so-called know-alls who actually don't know. Please advise. M Mabelina (talk) 12:31, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

& to boot I see he has publicly stated that "Editor is forbidden to contact me due to harassment" - perhaps Afterwriting should be forbidden from making incorrect & false statements about my edits - what is his problem? This really won't do. M Mabelina (talk) 12:36, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

I do not see how you are involved (they are not reverting your edits, but someone else's); I am not sure why you are asking me (I can not recollect interaction with any of you before), and I do not know why you want my advise in the matter which conserns English spelling (English is not my mother tongue). For the time being, I do not see any problem at all; if any problems appear, and the user refuses to discuss, use dispute resolution avenues.--Ymblanter (talk) 12:41, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

And now an ANI thread has been started anyway.--Ymblanter (talk) 12:43, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

Yes I know, but why? Honestly it's beyond a joke - has this guy got an issue with me because I cannot see what else could have caused this... Sorry to contact you but you calmed things down before. M Mabelina (talk) 12:48, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

Now another public alert has been launched by Afterwriting - surely this can't be right?

If a user is unhappy about you posting at their talk page, do not post at their talk page. It is very simple.--Ymblanter (talk) 12:51, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

Yes I totally agree with you, beyond any shadow of doubt - however let me clarify for all: I have made various amendments/improvements to the Rochester Cathedral article including pluralising Reverends (which is correct usage, qv: Revdd) - out of all the many corrections/improvements I made, Afterwriting chose to pick on the issue of Revdd - what a fool - should his incorrect comment be allowed to remain in the public domain?

This MOS situation is not good - because there seems to be a gang which wishes to drive through its dogma at all costs whilst overriding fact. I totally realize that this is not going to make me popular with the activists, but who else is going to point this out to Misplaced Pages?

In a nutshell, why Afterwriting chose to pick on this MOS issue (hence my comparison with Esperanto) is totally beyond me. I trust that he & his MOS gang can stay away from me if poss (altho I have no probs standing corrected where valid). M Mabelina (talk) 13:52, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

PS. it's such a waste of time arguing like this too...

As I mentioned earlier, the place to discuss these edits is the talk page of the article. If the user does not reply, use the dispute resolution avenues.--Ymblanter (talk) 13:58, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

Please understand this - Afterwriting will now launch an enquiry into me at the drop of a hat - so how can this be right?

from my outside point of view, correct & informative info should be welcomed by Wiki not bullied out of town by the few?? Sorry but it is thoroughly unacceptable behaviour as far as I am concerned. I hope like me you care. M Mabelina (talk) 14:04, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

Do you understand that the article got moved and that references doesn't have any relation to it now? That nether the lead nor the scope is the same of the title? I suggest you took a look into the article history before making accusations. Lutie (talk) 01:01, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

This is not an excuse for edit-warring without even trying to start a discussion at the talk page.--Ymblanter (talk) 06:31, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

I do not see any notability in the version I have deleted. I am afraid you have to go via WP:AFC as your article will likely be speedily deleted from the mainspace every time you recreate it.--Ymblanter (talk) 20:48, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

new essay

The ArbCom case against me is vexatious indeed - I shall not contend against those who taste blood.

Crimea annexation page

I'm not sure why you enabled pending changes for Annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation. Semi-protection would've been better. Pending changes clearly isn't working, regardless, as disruptive edits are being accepted by reviewers, and vandals continue to target it. RGloucester — ☎ 16:35, 24 March 2015 (UTC)

Vandalism is not intensive enough to justify semi-protection.--Ymblanter (talk) 16:55, 24 March 2015 (UTC)

If that's the case, you might as well remove pending changes, as it isn't serving any purpose and makes it more complicated to get rid of rubbish edits. RGloucester — ☎ 17:00, 24 March 2015 (UTC)

You can apply at RFPP and mention that I do not object. I do not feel comfortable removing them myself.--Ymblanter (talk) 17:02, 24 March 2015 (UTC)

• On another note, would you please place an ARBEE edit notice on the annexation page? It will be useful, given the contentious nature of the article. RGloucester — ☎ 05:26, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

  The DS note is already on the page. The next step would be imposing a restriction such as 1RR. From the editing history, I do not see much use of it, since there is no edit-warring beyond 1RR, and also if such restriction should be imposed at some point I think it is best imposed by an administrator without Russian or Ukrainian background.--Ymblanter (talk) 06:32, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

No, I don't mean imposing 1RR. I just mean an edit notice for the page. An edit notice appears when one edits the page, above the editing box. It is useful to remind people of DS, and is more visible than the talk page DS notice. Look at this edit notice, used on the Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 article. You'll see it at the top of the editing box. That's what I'm asking for on the annexation page. RGloucester — ☎ 15:12, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

I do not have any issues with that, except for I do not know how to do it. Will try to figure out later in the evening.--Ymblanter (talk) 16:11, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

Look here. I would've done it myself, but only administrators are able. The template used at the Malaysia Airlines article is this. RGloucester — ☎ 16:14, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

Would you take a look at article RT (TV network) ? It is to be unlocked on 26th. Any input on the articles organization would be appreciated.

secondary issue: I have been saying the lead section has 1/3 criticism and does not seem neutral. The argument by some has been Criticism IS neutral due to nature of RT.

Politecnico di Studi Aziendali

Bringing this to you rather than SPI as you appear to be up to speed on the goings on at Politecnico di Studi Aziendali (and its talk page). A new account, 9bh9bh (talk · contribs), has appeared to spam the talk pages of editors with the kind of material that I've seen added to Talk:Politecnico di Studi Aziendali, which is still protected. The editors (and bots) chosen, I think, have all been involved in dealing with previous sock/meatpuppet accounts of Isseasa, so I think it's yet another case of a new sock for the purpose of block evasion. Regards, VeryCrocker (talk) 09:18, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

I will block on sight any Politechnico sock vandalizing Misplaced Pages, and I have already blocked two today, but I am afraid the only solution is to hard-block the range. Only CU can do it, since only they know what the range is. I am afraid we are spending too much time dealing with this vandal.--Ymblanter (talk) 09:25, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

Assistance with reverting bold page moves

The following disaster-related pages had the word "Disaster" unilaterally decapitalised yesterday, without discussion. All of these changes are controversial, and must be reverted to allow for discussion. The user in question has modified all of the redirects, making it impossible for non-administrators to revert his changes.

• Birkenhead Dock disaster
• Twin Shaft disaster
• Monongah Mining disaster
• Darr Mine disaster
• Eccles Mine disaster
• Hanna Mine disaster
• Victor American Hastings Mine disaster
• Avondale Mine disaster

And yet you still haven't answered my questions on-topic. SkyBon (talk) 18:42, 11 April 2015 (UTC)

Pavelets Line does not exist in English. Pavelets suburban direction of Moscow Railway is a correct translation of the Russian term, and this is what we use in naming of the articles.--Ymblanter (talk) 18:45, 11 April 2015 (UTC)

I beg to differ. For geographic names we use the widely accepted English name (or, form prevalent in the the English reliable sources). %terminus% Line does exist and is the one. By contrast, we fail to see Pavelets direction anywhere outside machine translated sources. SkyBon (talk) 19:09, 11 April 2015 (UTC)

Great. Let us take Britannica, as a clearly reliable English source. It says, for instance, that the Smolensk Line leads from Moscow to Smolensk, Minsk, and Warsaw. This is clearly not about the suburban direction. Amd where we do not have established English terms, we use, well, English translations.--Ymblanter (talk) 19:12, 11 April 2015 (UTC)

Actually what you call Smolensk suburban direction and what actually is Smolensk Line does lead to Smolensk, Minsk and Warsaw since the Russian part ends at Belarus border. And the Britannica article *is* a reliable source (The article is signed by a Senior Lecturer in Geography, University College, 1972–94, and School of Slavonic and East European Studies, 1972–91, University of London. Author of The U.S.S.R. and Eastern Europe. and therefore is reliable). SkyBon (talk) 19:27, 11 April 2015 (UTC)

Britannica certainly is a reliable source, it just talks about a completely different thing. The suburban direction is Moscow to Vyazma including a line to Zvenigorod.--Ymblanter (talk) 19:31, 11 April 2015 (UTC)

Since we keep going in circles I suggest to take this discussion to WT:TRAINS for wider input. SkyBon (talk) 19:42, 11 April 2015 (UTC)

Draft:Playtime Is Over (mixtape)

I need some help/advice with this. This mixtape is one of the mixtapes brought up at this AfD, which you closed back in 2012. Someone has created a draft at AfC at Draft:Playtime Is Over (mixtape) and it looks great, to be honest. I'm sorely tempted to accept it but there's one thing that's really stopping me: the sources. Much of the coverage mentions the mixtape in passing as far as Minaj's career as a whole and there really isn't a lot that really focuses on the mixtape specifically that's in-depth. This might not have bothered me a huge-huge lot and I'd have accepted it on that, except that the article had been repeatedly recreated over the years to where the page is now indefinitely protected against editing by non-admin users. (DangerousPanda did this and I'll ping them so they can get in on this as well.) I'm worried that if I do accept this on anything other than super solid sources, it'll quickly get taken to AfD- where to be frank, there's a bit of a bias against AfC articles. (While they meant well, some problematic acceptances have sort of tainted many's opinion of AfC.) I'm tempted to take this to deletion review so there can be a full look at the sources and a general consensus of whether or not to accept the article into the mainspace. I just can't help but shake this feeling that if I were to accept it now, with sources that are good but not great-great, that it'd be quickly challenged and then torn to shreds at AfD, where it'd be sent back to AfC and then have an even harder battle to fight for acceptance the next go round. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 05:11, 25 April 2015 (UTC)

There are two things here. First, I spent some time seraching for sources and found (and added to the draft) one which considers the mixtape at some length, not just mentions it. There might be some more around but I do not have time just now. Second, I think you should accept the draft and not worry even if it gets taken to AfD. We have different users in the project, with wildly different interpretations of policies, and accepting this draft is certainly within the policy, not even in the grey zone. I actually do not think it would be taken to AfD given that it is very much different from the original version, but even if it does, the worst which could happen is it gets back to the draft space and continues to sit there. To be honest, I also do not see how it can be deleted by AfD consensus provided the participation is decent.--Ymblanter (talk) 07:45, 25 April 2015 (UTC)

• Mostly I'm worried about it getting a little extra punishment because it's an AfC baby, but I'll accept it on your recommendation. I've just seen articles get destroyed at AfD because of the AfC association, so I'm sort of skittish with that. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 08:45, 25 April 2015 (UTC)

Shit happens, we just need to minimize collateral damage. I saw you are in contact with the creator, may be it is best to warn them that AfC acceptance is not a guarantee that the article is not AfD deleted (in which case it would just go back to Draft).--Ymblanter (talk) 08:48, 25 April 2015 (UTC)

Nim AfD

No, everyone does NOT agree there are some sources that support notability. I and several others believe and clearly stated that there are NO sources that support notability under WP:GNG. A fair appraisal of the discussion might conclude there was no consensus. But it's hard to believe that a fair appraisal starts by claiming that everyone agrees on something they don't.

Kazakhstani towns

Hi, I know you and Ezhiki don't think much of Russian wiki but can you do me a favour and create a list 10-20 missing towns formatted with interlinks like zh , ideally the largest towns still missing, but any which have an article on Russian wiki and not in English? I have started a stub drive with WP:Intertranswiki and one topic I want to cover is this, as I remember browsing a while back and still seeing missing notable towns of at least 10,000 people etc.♦ Dr. Blofeld 09:54, 10 May 2015 (UTC)

There are less than dozen missing, all listed on my user page. I would rather create them myself.--Ymblanter (talk) 10:07, 10 May 2015 (UTC)

There's more missing than that!! Perhaps you mean official towns. Well, I can list those and a few of the rural type settlements. I'll try to leave most of the ones you want to start to you, it's all good to be collaborative!♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:27, 10 May 2015 (UTC)

If you also mean urban-type settlements, there are a few of those, they are all listed at the pages of the regions (which I have done myself), another candidates are district centers. I can try to make a list of redlinks later today, but otherwise you can just inspect the sections on administrative divisions and create everything that is not a town. I also have a file with population, which I try to add to all available articles.--Ymblanter (talk) 11:30, 10 May 2015 (UTC)

Yeah, a couple of those too would be good, ideally with over 1000 people. I'll try to let you start the towns that you mentioned you wanted to start, but a mix of those and some urban type ones I can do would be good. Perhaps you could find 5-10 with interlinks anyway. Cheers.♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:38, 10 May 2015 (UTC)

They all have interlinks, I believe Kazakh Misplaced Pages has an article on every single locality in Kazakhstan, and I have the file with the population census, which lists all the localities. I will make a list of urban-type settlements and district centers later today.--Ymblanter (talk) 11:40, 10 May 2015 (UTC)

If you're interested in working on the settlements long term you could being a list by province at Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Intertranswiki/Russian/Geography or Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Intertranswiki/Kazakh/Geography with inter links. I'll try to help when I can. The best place to start would be the district capitals and urban types though as you say.♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:12, 10 May 2015 (UTC)

I've created Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Intertranswiki/Kazakh/Geography, you can list whatever you want on that page!♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:27, 10 May 2015 (UTC)

Can you glean a bit more from Russian/Kazakh sources to make Akmol start class and I'll nom for DYK.♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:41, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

Might be tricky but I will try later today. Note also that I did not finish my list of missing articles, I am planning to add all regions.--Ymblanter (talk) 12:43, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

Thanks, I will try to help stubbing those settlements gradually. Can you do me a favour. for round 17 at WP:Intertranswiki can you pick 10 architects from here with interlinks and English title names?♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:01, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

Sure, in the Protestant Church in the Netherlands are blessing for same-sex couples allowed...already over twenty years !!!

• Amsterdamse kerk op Gay Bride Beurs

Also missing in same article: Reformed churches in Switzerland

In some of the reformed churches in [SEK in Switzerland are also blessing for same-sex couples allowed !!! 178.11.6.202 (talk) 19:43, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

Some of the reformed churches in Switzerland perform blessings of same-sex couples, for example

• Reformed Church of Aargau
  • Reformierte Landeskirche Aargau: Homosexualität und Kirche nach fünf Jahren ausdiskutiert (German)
• Reformed Churches of the Canton Bern-Jura-Solothurn,
  • Reformierte Kirchen Bern-Jura-Solothurn: Feiern in besonderen Lebenslagen (German)
• Evangelical Reformed Church of the Canton of Schaffhausen
  • Entwurf zur Kirchenordnung der Evangelisch-reformierten Kirche des Kantons Schaffhausen, Art. 41 (PDF; 168 kB) (German)
• Chiesa evangelica riformata nel Ticino

• • ref.ch: TI, Synode spricht sich für Segnung homosexueller Paare aus (German)
• Evangelical Church of the Canton of Thurgau
  • Reformierte TG: Segensfeier für gleichgeschlechtliche Paare möglich</ref>,
• Église Évangélique Réformée du canton de Vaud
  • Reformierte VD: Neu Feiern für gleichgeschlechtliche Paare (German)
• Evangelical Reformed Church of the Canton of Zürich
  • Evangelisch-reformierte Landeskirche des Kantons Zürich: Rituale für homosexuelle Paare (German)

So you should add the Protestant Church of the Netherlands and some of the reformed churches in Switzterland to the article and you should so correct your mistake of deleting the Church of the Netherlands. That church is one of the christian churches with the longest time of blessing of same-sex couples !!! 178.11.6.202 (talk) 19:56, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

I have whatsoever no interest in this article. You may propose these changes at the talk page.--Ymblanter (talk) 20:08, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

and why did you then delete the Netherlands church, when you have no interest in that article ? BlessHarmony (talk) 20:31, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

I am sure you will be able to direct me a policy which mandates that I report all of my actions to an account with less than 10 edits.--Ymblanter (talk) 20:33, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

I can't follow your argumentation. Again i ask you, why did you delete the Netherlands church from that article, if you are not interested in that article ? BlessHarmony (talk) 20:39, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

I am under no obligation of explaining my actions to you. You can add yourself any information you want to the article after several days.--Ymblanter (talk) 20:47, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

okay maybe i will do that. But i can't understand, why you will not correct your own mistakes. BlessHarmony (talk) 21:02, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

Archangel, Russia

I know that you are an admin, but I think you might be a little more familiar with WP:COMMONNAME than you appear to be. It calls for our articles to be at the common English language name for the subject. Most assuredly, "Arkhangelsk" is not an English-language place name, it's merely the transliteration of the Russian language name. No one calls it that, it is commonly called "Archangel", and has been for a very long time. Please do not move it back again without getting a consensus to do so on the talk page, your authority as an admin does not make you into a "superuser" who can override normal processes. Thanks. BMK (talk) 00:15, 14 May 2015 (UTC)

Take any geographic map, and it will be Arkhangelsk. Archangel is used for the 15th century settlement. You are certainly not the first person raising this, it is at the talk page and also possibly at the talk page of Misplaced Pages Talk:WikiProject Russia.--Ymblanter (talk) 06:31, 14 May 2015 (UTC)

Beijing Subway Line Name/Color Boxes

Could you please fix the Name/Color boxes in the table under the Lines section. Previously, the boxes appeared as they do on other Chinese subways systems such as Shenyang Metro or Chengdu Metro. The boxes had rounded corners, and the the text was inside the box instead of beside. The transfers boxes also had rounded corners. An example of what they used to look like can be see here with Line 2, Shenyang Metro. If you could please revert these boxes back to their original form, it would improve the look and feel of the page. I tried to fix it, but it was beyond my ability. Any assistance would be gratefully accepted.

I have no time today, will try to have a look tomorrow. In the meanwhile, you can try asking for assistance at one of the village pumps.--Ymblanter (talk) 05:32, 20 May 2015 (UTC)

DYK for Akmol

On 20 May 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Akmol, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that during the Stalin era, Akmol in Kazakhstan was notorious for its "Labour Camp for Wives of Traitors of the Motherland"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Akmol. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Статьи об советских актерах и фильма в англоязычной Википедии

Доброго времени суток, коллега!

Пишу вам по-русски, т.к. в анкете русский язык указан как ваш родной. Я пишу статьи в англоязычной википедии, касающиеся советских актеров и фильмов. При этом я стараюсь, чтобы новая статья в англовики не была банальным переводом русскоязычной статьи, а самостоятельным, новым творением. Это связано еще и с тем, что в русскоязычной википедии статьи об актерах и фильмах зачастую далеки от идеала, в них иногда попадается неверная информация.

Обратил внимание, что вы делали правку в статье об Олеге Янковском, поэтому обращаюсь к вам с предложением оказать мне помощь в созидании новых статей. К большому сожалению, недостаточно хорошо владею английским, поэтому после написания статьи требуется редактура и исправление ошибок в тексте. Если вас заинтересовало мое предложение - ОЧЕНЬ буду вам признателен. Если нет - прошу меня извинить за причиненное неудобство.

С уважением, Ulugbeck1 (talk) 13:10, 22 May 2015 (UTC)

К сожалению, у меня нет времени для такой регулярной работы, но если в какой-то момент надо будет какой-то кусок поправить, обращайтесь, конечно. Пожалуйста, учтите ещё, что у нас довольно жёсткие требования к проверяемости, то есть должны стоять сноски на авторитетные источники в достаточном количестве.--Ymblanter (talk) 16:11, 22 May 2015 (UTC)

Hi Ymblanter! You know that I edited the articles about Kazakhstan and my criterias were appropriate to Misplaced Pages's one, but you deleted my articles and after this I have losted my hope to wikipedia. I started my new articles about Kazakhstan but you are not allowed me, why? Please help me to improve the articles about Kazakhstan without deleting.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Asimova (talk • contribs)

There were different reasons, which I can explain if you ask about specific articles. However, as I said, the best way to proceed would be incrementally improve existing articles. Find an article you want to improve, add a paragraph (not three pages at the time) with a source, see how other users react, then continue. Also folks at Misplaced Pages:Teahouse would be happy to help you.--Ymblanter (talk) 07:55, 29 May 2015 (UTC)

Deleted article to draftspace?

Hi, you recently delete Kodjo Adabra,

A lot of mockery and general insulting, as well as a vast array of flawed logic was used in disqualifying this article, especially towards the end (fallacies of authority, false assumptions, etc.), and one user even changed his vote from 'delete or move to draft' to simply 'delete' , citing the fact that he did research, failed to find anything, implying that his emotional dissatisfaction is first of all my fault and secondly that I should be punished for it.

These first couple of months have been less than welcoming, overall, needless to say, however there have been a great many exceptions. To that one user complaining that his disappointment failed research was my fault, I would say he should read more carefully, as I had already stated the sources I was looking for would be hard copy, that is to say NOT THE INTERNET! I know this must seem very arcane as a type of source, but I assure you, print sources still exist! and believe it or not, not everything printed in Togo makes it onto the English (or French) speaking web.

I was only ever asking for more time, and yet somehow by my persistent to simply continue working on the article, working on the talk page, I managed to hurt the feelings of probably over a dozen users. All I can say is what the hell; I know I am a new user and I make a lot of mistakes, but just because I am not so easily discouraged doesn't mean that you all are doing a bad job as a community, does it? What I am saying is, if the article has insufficient sources, or whatever reason, and isn't ready to be a real article, then fantastic, where do I sign? that's fairly understandable, and I'll look into those hard copy sources, maybe see you in a few years or whatever if anything actually turns up.

My first question is why delete something that has stated request to move to draft space from the creator? Second: who or how or where , what do I have to do to get back the work that was done; that's to say where can I find whatever it is I need to get the draft version available?

It's like he called all his friends from a forum and suddenly the page just exploded with bad logic, insults, and hurt feelings. It was the ugliest sight. I would close an article that hurt people so much too, probably gave at least 7 ulcers and maybe a stroke out of the pain of reading such a poorly sourced article. My sincere apologies.Nolanpowers (talk) 13:59, 30 May 2015 (UTC)

I have written very clearly that if someone is interested in moving the article to the draft space and working on it there they may contact me. Should I consider the above message as a request to move it to draft? There is too much TL;DR and I am afraid if I start to read it carefully WP:NPA issues could arise, so I better do not.--Ymblanter (talk) 14:01, 30 May 2015 (UTC)

If you are just unhappy with the ourcome, you are of course welcome to start a deletion review request--Ymblanter (talk) 14:03, 30 May 2015 (UTC)

I am going to be more bold than you here and assume you would like TL;DR version; request taken: yes I would like a draft version of the article. Thanks.

What criteria do you use to determine if reading is going to be a risk for WP:NPA? I deduce length and source, although perhaps I am too bold. It would be nice to be able to communicate more fully, I would imagine, yet, as you were.Nolanpowers (talk) 15:29, 30 May 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for cleaning my talk page from personal attacks to other users. I have restored some information that IMHO might be useful for content creation. I also do not like my telkpage to be semiprotected. IPs might have legitimate questions to administrators, so semiprotecting them should IMHO be a matter of last resort. It might mean more work of cleaning the page from vandalism and personal attacks but IMHO it is better to clean a reasonably visible talk page than have bad people abusing article space.

Hi again

QUestion, what does this mean "Управление делами ЦК РКП(б) - ВКП(б) - КПСС"? Administration of Affairs? Administrator of Affairs? or Administrative Department? --TIAYN (talk) 10:57, 18 June 2015 (UTC)

Essentially, a bunch of managers. Probably Administrative Department would be the best translation.--Ymblanter (talk) 11:07, 18 June 2015 (UTC)

Yes, that seems correct (and I agree), but doesn't "Административный отдел" also mean Administrative Department? ... You have the Управление делами, but also Административный отдел and Административный отдел which existed alongside "Управление делами" at various points. And of course, the first mentioned isn't named an otdel. There has to be a transliteration difference, right? --TIAYN (talk) 13:58, 18 June 2015 (UTC)

I do not know exactly, but my guess is that Административный отдел is more about HR and such, and Управление делами is more about finances.--Ymblanter (talk) 14:00, 18 June 2015 (UTC)

The modern "управление делами" (an office serving the President of Russia) is typically translated "General Affairs Department". It's probably not a bad variant to use in the CPSU context as well, especially if distinguishing it from "административный отдел" is important.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); June 18, 2015; 14:04 (UTC)

@Ezhiki: OK. And yes, it deals with accounting. But to be sure, last question. The Russian WP article on Nikolay Kruchina says "Управляющий делами ЦК КПСС", which means either Business Manager, Administrative Director, Managing Director, Adminstrative Manager, Business Director? So which one comes closes? --TIAYN (talk) 15:01, 18 June 2015 (UTC)

I'd go with "(Chief) Administrator" and probably steer clear of the "business" and "manager" variants (which sound a bit odd in the Soviet context). "Director" variants might work as well, although (in my mind at least) "director" associates more with some sort of an industrial enterprise and not with a Soviet government agency.

Kashmir conflict

Disputed para in the lead is

"However, elections held in 2014 saw highest voters turnout in 25 years of history in Kashmir. European Union also welcomed elections, called it "free and fair" and congratulated India for its democratic system. The European Parliament also takes cognizance of the fact that a large number of Kashmiri voters turned out despite calls for the boycott of elections by certain separatist forces.

It was observed and caused dispute among users so it should be removed until Dispute resolution committee's decision. It is unethical to maintain disputed para for weeks over weeks. It was already on page since last ten days to deceive article visitors because its neutrality is seriously questioned and same has been accepted by dispute resolution committee for investigation.Whistle blowing is encouraged world wide so whistle blowers opinion should be respected here. 115.186.146.225 (talk) 05:46, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

Its the common name (if there is any), and usually we don't name articles after their long formal names; for instance, its Prime Minister of Russia and not Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation and its General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and not General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.. Could you move it?

 Done--Ymblanter (talk) 05:32, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

Some stroopwafels for you!

I appreciate your quick response to persistent nonsense. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 07:20, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

Translation

Hi, can you do me a favour and translate the plot here? May ask for more Kazakh towns later in the month for the Interntranswiki!♦ Dr. Blofeld 09:36, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

I will have a look later. The plot is unsourced, but there agould be sources available, will try to find them. Kazakh towns are never a problem.--Ymblanter (talk) 11:43, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

Hello Y. I just wanted to mention that per WP:FILMPLOT they don't actually need a source. That doesn't mean that if you can find one that it wouldn't be useful. Anything that you can do to help the new article created by DB will be much appreciated. Cheers. MarnetteD|Talk 14:54, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

Hi again!

Could you move Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress to Chairman of the National People's Congress? Not normal name in day-to-day speak. --TIAYN (talk) 10:05, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

 Done, this one actually you could have done yourself, there was no blocking redirect--Ymblanter (talk) 10:21, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

Thank you.--Ymblanter (talk) 14:10, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

Thanks, I just had some kazandibi, nice and fresh for a summer night. The other Hatuniye (Tokat) is also ready, as a stub. Please rename it "Hatuniye Külliyesi". --176.239.13.187 (talk) 20:56, 14 July 2015 (UTC)

Thanks, I moved the article.--Ymblanter (talk) 21:06, 14 July 2015 (UTC)

Perion Codefuel

Hi, You deleted this article https://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Perion_Codefuel earlier today just when I was about to submit a complete rewrite with new references as suggested. Would it be possible to have the page back so that I can make the changes and then you can decide what to do about it? Nmwalsh (talk) 09:47, 18 July 2015 (UTC)

The article is here: User:Nmwalsh/Perion Codefuel. However, I do not be involved in the decision on whether it can be moved back. There are two options. If you are sure what you are going to create is a completely different version of the article, and the AfD arguments would not apply, you can just move it to the article space and be prepared to defend it if it gets AfDed again. If you think the article is more a slight rewrite of an old version, WP:DRV would be a safer option.--Ymblanter (talk) 10:01, 18 July 2015 (UTC)

Thank you. I will submit the rewritten article to WP:UND. Nmwalsh (talk) 10:01, 19 July 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for being so quick with the protection. If the edit-warring wasn't bad enough, two of the combatants seem to be on the path to an Iban. --AussieLegend (✉) 15:27, 23 July 2015 (UTC)

Sure, no problem--Ymblanter (talk) 15:28, 23 July 2015 (UTC)

Hi. You are invited to comment at RfC for BARC - a community desysoping process. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 06:40, 24 July 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for notifying me, I will have a look.--Ymblanter (talk) 06:43, 24 July 2015 (UTC)

Hi again

Question, I've currently nominated the Central Committee elected by the 16th Congress of the All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks) for FL status, but the reviewer is asking several though questions regarding American and Russian copyright standards.. Would you know any Russian users who would be willing to help? --TIAYN (talk) 07:36, 24 July 2015 (UTC)

Stamps are safe. The rest is probably easier to figure out on Commons.--Ymblanter (talk) 07:38, 24 July 2015 (UTC)

Heads up

Please reconsider your stance at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Index of Andhra Pradesh-related articles. I've posted an analysis of the issue there. Thank you. The Transhumanist 13:53, 26 July 2015 (UTC)

Can you block this dude?

This guy is clearly vandalising WP: ClueBot XIII ... Just look at his recent changes to the Communist Party of China article (I've reverted them). Thanks, --TIAYN (talk) 12:06, 28 July 2015 (UTC)

Already done by WikiLeon--Ymblanter (talk) 13:44, 28 July 2015 (UTC)

This guy too? User:FUCK OFF TRUST IS ALL YOU NEEED. --TIAYN (talk) 07:15, 29 July 2015 (UTC)

That one was blocked around midnight already.--Ymblanter (talk) 07:36, 29 July 2015 (UTC)

Coe Davis

Please advise as to why Coe Lewis was deleted, given that she is the longest tenured female DJ in Southern California history and works for a major FM Station? There are plenty of lesser known Disc Jockeys with fewer citations on their pages than she had. Thank youJpop73 (talk) 23:20, 28 July 2015 (UTC)

Because there was consensus at the AfD that the article does not satisfty the notability requirements.--Ymblanter (talk) 06:53, 29 July 2015 (UTC)

What do you mean the other way? With three pictures instead of four?--Ymblanter (talk) 12:21, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

It contradicts WP:MOS anyway.--Ymblanter (talk) 12:24, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

I may edit all Misplaced Pages articles, certainly not until I get restricted.--Ymblanter (talk) 12:29, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

Отвечая на ваш вопрос, скажу, что вы позволили себе бестактность (мягко выражаясь) уже несколько раз. Впервые, сказав об абсолютной ужасности, второй - удалив изображения украинской церкви из Списка ЮНЕСКО, католического костёла из статьи. Вандализмом попахивает.--Бучач-Львів (talk) 12:31, 30 July 2015 (UTC)
