Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia

• Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
• Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
• Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
• No edit warring or sock puppetry.
• If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
• Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
• Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Russian military deception

Hi, just to let you know I've undone your unexpected move of this article. Maskirovka exists as a redirect already, so there is nothing to gain from the move. The topic is about military deception in Russia (including when it was part of the Soviet Union, but not limited to that). Maskirovka is a tricky name because it has had various meanings over the years, and has now started to be used popularly in the West, for example by the press, with a meaning that is close to pejorative - nasty sneaky Russian trickiness, roughly. Several editors have therefore stated (very firmly indeed) that Maskirovka was not a satisfactory name, nor did it give the article focus; and after months-long reflection, I have to agree with them that a plain descriptive title is better. Apart from anything else, the Russian word forced the article into justifications of the choice and endless analyses of its various meanings: all that complexity melts away with the plain "Russian military deception", a huge advantage. If you want to discuss this further, I'm happy to do so on the article's talk page, but there really is no future in making undiscussed moves. Thank you for your understanding.

Disambiguation link notification for September 22

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Raubritter, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Wares. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
