Just a reminder, it is an English Wikipedia policy to not Wikilink dates or years. Most people take a little while to figure out the policy differences between different wikis, that's ok. Just wanted to let you know. I've created this handy guide for new editors to help.--PlanespotterA320 (talk) 00:27, 8 February 2019 (UTC)

ok, thank you, I got it --Devlet Geray (talk) 07:39, 8 February 2019 (UTC)

Regarding this edit summary, remember to be WP:CIVIL. Yes, I misentered the URL, but that does not excuse rude and disrespectful comments. — MarkH₂₁^talk 16:35, 17 December 2019 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Iryna Harpy. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Ottoman Ukraine seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. I will assume good faith on your behalf as you are still new to Wikipedia, therefore would not have had time to become familiar with the many policies and guidelines we 'sign up voluntarily to follow. As your area of interest is evidently Crimea, Crimean Tartars, and Muslim subject matter in general, I can see how you managed to unilaterally decide to change "Ottoman Ukraine" to "Khan Ukraine". Did you actually read the article? It is about the Cossack perspective, ergo the WP:QUALIFIER for the WP:TITLE follows the subject of the article. If you wish to contest this, you are welcome to start an official Request for comment, thereby engaging the Wikipedia community as to their opinion. The reality is that you don't have a leg to stand on. Iryna Harpy (talk) 03:22, 5 January 2020 (UTC)

• Здравствуйте, Iryna Harpy. I did not think that renaming the article unknown to anyone would cause such reaction. FYI, look ru:Ханская Украина, uk:Ханська Україна. It's a common name --Devlet Geray (talk) 18:57, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

Здравствуйте Вам, Devlet Geray. In all honesty, I overreacted, for which I sincerely apologise. We have a lot of users who know how to work the system and my immediate reaction was not charitable. As I expressed on the talk page, after I'd cooled down a little, I understood it to be an entirely good faith move. The redirect is staying in place. Best wishes. Iryna Harpy (talk) 23:39, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

Devlet Geray, this is an example of your inexperience. Please read the the vandalism policy careful, and be mindful of how you speak to other users. I'll be the first to admit that I deserved a bit of shaming after being so rude to you, but {{diff2|934473524|this is unacceptable]] as an edit summary. Believe me, there are some genuinely nasty editors out there who are ready to do battle with you as soon as look at you. Such edit summaries can be construed as casting aspersions on another editor, a personal attack, and uncivil. I hope we've aired the closet, so to speak, and that we can move on an work collaboratively in the future. For all the furore, I have a lot of experience and know my way around Wikipedia policies, citations, research, etc. If you ever need someone to call on, feel free to drop me a line on my talk page, or ping me from another page. Kind regards. Iryna Harpy (talk) 04:30, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

March 2020

Please do not attack other editors, as you did at Devlet I Giray. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. The edit summary f***, are you so sick that you still keep track of my contributions? i know that this page is not in your watchlist was inappropriate. Keep your edit summaries civil. — MarkH₂₁^talk 08:17, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

Warning

Encyclopedia Iranica is a renowned peer-reviewed source and is well within Wikipedia's standards of WP:RS. Removing it just because you don't like seeing it (per your own edit summary, calling it "propaganda") is WP:TENDENTIOUS editing.[1] Do not remove it again.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

Per a discussion at WP:ANI. In addition, you are banned from all topics in Asia related to Turkey or Turkic peoples, or Iran or Iranian peoples, broadly construed, per the rules stated in WP:TBAN. The community topic ban is indefinite and is being logged in WP:RESTRICT. You can appeal the block and the ban in six months and have your case reviewed at WP:AN. Let me know if you have any questions. EdJohnston (talk) 18:49, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

• EdJohnston. Hi! Can my unblocking be considered now? --Devlet Geray (talk) 16:29, 17 October 2021 (UTC)

• I filed an unblock request for you at WP:AN#User:Devlet Geray asking for unblock. If you want to expand your request, type something here and someone will copy it over to WP:AN for you. EdJohnston (talk) 16:36, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

• A number of people responded at WP:AN#User:Devlet Geray asking for unblock. See the advice there. You ought to withdraw this request until you have the time to fill out a proper unblock template and give your reasoning, as advised in WP:Guide to appealing blocks.

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

Hello! I was blocked quite a long time ago. I was offered to request an unlock in 6 months, several years have already passed. I understand that I was wrong and behaved incorrectly when communicating with other users. I will respect all participants and abide by Wikipedia's rules. Devlet Geray (talk) 13:23, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

Decline reason:

As you were blocked and topic banned via a community discussion, there needs to be a community discussion to remove the block and/or topic bans. This brief statement is far from sufficient to bring to the community for discussion. Please write a statement to transfer to a discussion board for community consideration in which you discuss what you did wrong, what steps you have taken to not do it again, and tell the constructive contributions you want to make. 331dot (talk) 06:51, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

• 331dot, hello! I've done it, could you please consider it now? --Devlet Geray (talk) 12:29, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

Request for Community Review of Block

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who accepted the request.

Devlet Geray (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Dear Community Members,

I am writing to request a review of the block that was placed upon me. I understand that the actions leading to this decision were not in line with the community's standards, and I deeply regret any disruption or negativity my actions may have caused.

I acknowledge that I was wrong and behaved incorrectly when communicating with other users. I was young then and lost my temper because of now proved sockpuppets and trolls that I had to communicate on ruwiki (i became paranoic then because of it, but after many of my concerns regarding those accounts were proved by ruwiki check-users).

Besides, I acknowledge that I was especially wrong and incorrect on Iranian topics, now I am not going to repeat those mistakes and will refrain fully from editing anything related to those topics. Some years have passed since the block was imposed on me with a statement that I "can appeal the block and the ban in six months", I am hopeful that I can demonstrate to the esteemed Community that my approach has significantly improved and ask the community to give me a chance. Furthermore, I have been an editor and rollbacker on Ukrainian Wikipedia for several years without any issues; on the contrary, I have authored both good and featured articles there. I pledge to make only beneficial and constructive contributions (I am going to start with creating articles on Crimean topics - without going into modern politics; for instance, I am going to translate my article uk:Сім планет у звістках про царів татарських which is now nominated to good articles and my article uk:Джаніке which is a good article there) to the community and to English Wikipedia moving forward.

Sincerely, Devlet Geray (talk) 21:56, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

Accept reason:

Per the consensus at AN, I have unblocked you - welcome back. Please note that you are still subject to a topic ban, which can be appealed at a later time. —Ingenuity (t • c) 17:05, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

This is closer, but "beneficial and constructive contributions" is a very general statement. Could you be a little more specific, such as what topics or articles you might edit? 331dot (talk) 13:15, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

• 331dot yes, now I added this information above --Devlet Geray (talk) 13:22, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

The last thing I might suggest is that instead of asking for the block and the ban to be removed, you focus on just the block. In order for the community to consider removing the ban, they may want to see a history of constructive edits from you in other areas which will help them to decide if the ban should be removed. 331dot (talk) 13:33, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

 Done Devlet Geray (talk) 13:36, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

I have transferred this to WP:AN for discussion. If necessary, you may respond to comments there on this page for transfer to there. 331dot (talk) 13:45, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

Thank you! Devlet Geray (talk) 13:46, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

Thank you very much for unblocking! So happy about it. Devlet Geray (talk) 17:06, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
