GenOrl

Hello GenOrl, that was an interesting edit of yours. Can you please explain what it was all about? Thank you.Biophys (talk) 02:00, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

• Hello Biophys. As you have noticed, I'm a novice in Wikipedia and I'm not sure on some things and possible personal dangers. I'm not engaged in any sort of politics just being a doctor and trying to help my much suffering people out. It is common knowledge that even in best years of new Russia's history its public health and education were crumbling apart. Now it is even worse. For years hidden backwardness and poverty came out for everybody's view. Never in Russia's history it had perfect teaching of foreign languages, even among best educated people millions of them can not read even basic English. Authorities knew this and made Russian Wikipedia open, and claimed that there would be no censorship in it. But it is obvious, that they hate any translation from English being published in russian Wikipedia and censor them. Health problems' look in ruWiki is incompetent, devastated and primitive. As knowing English a little I have tried to make known some common facts by translating from english Wikipedia. Soon I have noticed that basic knowledge on safer sex techniques attracts the most of public interest, as my people does not know common facts. The first time I faced censorship in Russian Wikipedia was when I placed a word for word of an article Teabagging. It existed in English for five years and had good traffic. It had international reputation as well. I made Russian translation for its title. Immediately the article was pointed for deletion by user:Grebenkov. His official status in ruWiki is an administrator. By the clues on his personal page and pecularities of his articles in ruWiki I revealed to myself that he is connected to so called "competent organs" and in fact he is censor. His pretext for fools was about absence in great Russian language of any equivalent russian word for english ”tea bag” in the title of the article. His logic was: as there was no russian equivalent for the title of the article – the article in ruWiki is impossible. I had no arguments against the censor. What was good for enWiki and international community for years was unacceptable for ruWiki. On June, the 23 I outcried on two different pages of enWiki about the fact of his deleting and about the censorship of healt-related issues. Somebody supported me. But, somewhat later my edits in enWiki were tracked down and deleted by his accomplice of user:Ellol. user:Ellol wrote, while deleting, that my edit was a good joke. The work of my computer was seriously impeded for sometime. On July, the 16 user:Grebenkov chose a different tactics and he initiated a process of soft deleting of my word for word of an English translation of another article of en:Fingering (sexual act). He had wanted the translated article with a volume of 75 Kilobytes and different aspect of the Masturbation to be included, distorted and abridged into a lesser, superficial Russian language article of ru: Мастурбация with a volume of just 34 Kylobytes. On my reminding him that Wikimedia Foundation does not recommend the size of articles exceeding 32 Kylobytes, user:Grebenkov has pointed out that he knows better what is good for Wikipedia. So, I see it as an evident case of censorship of innocent for public security issues and very needed article. Censorship of health-related issues on the Internet in Russia mounts, and encompasses English Wikipedia and Wikimedia Foundation as well. It violates basic human rights of Russian-reading audience on health and freedom of expression. Particularly notorious is a censor by the name of user:Grebenkov. When I outcried this time on two pages of enWiki his accomplice User:LokiiT deleted it. When I restored it he deleted it in enWiki once again with words "Stop it. It is not your personal blog". I wonder, is the action of User:Grebenkov just my personal matter, and why enWiki and Wikipedia Foundation are being envolved? GenOrl (talk) 13:12, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

I see. You made only around 700 edits in ruwiki and 70 edits here. Although I am not interested in articles like masturbation and fingering, I can help you with navigating here. Welcome. As long as you provide interesting and sourced information, it should not be removed.Biophys (talk) 00:01, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

I see what's the problem. Please read WP:Source and follow this policy. Please, do not insert your personal opinions and observations as you did here. In fact, what you did would be qualified as a joke or a hoax by most editors here.Biophys (talk) 00:06, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

As with the edit above, the edits you made to Internet operations by Russian secret police were clearly inappropriate. Wikipedia articles are not for fighting feuds or voicing your personal opinions.--Kubigula (talk) 05:07, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

August 2009

Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to the page Freedom of the press in Russia has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, please ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you.

Plague immunization

Can you tell me where Plague immunization was copied from? It seems unlikely that you created a 38k article with 112 references in a single edit. SnottyWong ^verbalize 18:48, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

FYI - I've started a thread at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#New article needs investigation regarding this article. SnottyWong ^gab 19:30, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

January 2011

Your addition to Plague immunization has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other websites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of article content such as sentences or images. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. I have removed the copyright violation taken from this copyrighted site. I will continue to search for the source of the rest of the article, but I would appreciate it if you would just tell me where you got the remaining text in the article. SnottyWong ^soliloquize 22:31, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

• I've speedied the article. Don't violate copyright like that. Do it again and you will be blocked. Fences&Windows 23:15, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
  • You also plagiarized "ON THE THERAPEUTIC EFFECTS OF CERTAIN PROTEIN FRACTIONS OF ANTI-PLAGUE SERUM", and probably many more sources. Come clean now before we start examining all of your contributions - do you regularly cut and paste wording directly from copyrighted sources without using quote marks? Fences&Windows 23:19, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
• I've deleted Standard Precautions (health care) as it contained copyrighted text from www.who.int/csr/resources/publications/WHO_CDS_EPR_2007_6c.pdf. Fences&Windows 23:40, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

• GenOrl, we have now removed all of the copyrighted text that you pasted into English Wikipedia. Please do not do this again, or you will be indefinitely blocked. You should examine your edits to Simple English and Russian Wikipedias, to see if the same issues apply on those projects. Fences&Windows 00:44, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Pseudotuberculosis (Yersinia)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Pseudotuberculosis (Yersinia) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Please look carefully

This edit [1] reformated an immediately preceding piece of blatant vandalism, making it harder to detect. Please read what you are modifying. --BozMo talk 12:27, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

Meningitis

Thanks for your addition to meningitis. I have temporarily removed it pending discussion on Talk:Meningitis, because I am not completely convinced that the new vaccine needs such detailed coverage. N. meningitides type A vaccination has been around for a bit; apart from the cost ($50 is a lot by African standards!) your edit did not explain why it might be better. There was also quite a lot of technical detail about vaccine production that really was out of place in a busy clinical article that attempts to cover the entire topic of meningitis. Please let me know if anything is unclear. JFW | T@lk 05:37, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

Another editor correctly pointed out that I misread the cost (.50 vs 50 dollars). I don't think it materially changes my other points. JFW | T@lk 08:50, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

You reinserted the same content despite my request to discuss this on Talk:Meningitis. You have not addressed my concerns, but instead choose to accuse me of "censorship". I don't dispute the "trustworthiness" of the content but have queried its "relevance2 (per your edit summary.[2] I have now started a thread on the talk page, and I was hoping that you might be prepared to discuss there. JFW | T@lk 09:07, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

Hello again. Thanks for joining in the discussion on Talk:Meningitis. I am indeed very sorry that your addition was removed. I hope you will take the time and see how other editors have resolved the situation. In general, it would be very helpful if you could assume good faith rather than assuming that I am out to "censor" Wikipedia or anything of the sort. Eventually, most disagreements are resolved not by bickering but by finding mutual ground and arriving at consensus. Happy editing, and please let me know if I can be of any assistance.

Hi. When you recently edited Alexey Arhipovsky, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Russian music (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

• I’ve received a notice from User:GrahamColm that he has detected copyright problem in my article Why Nations Fail, that has been downloaded by me on 4 August 2012 and had 11 references. He writes: “This article appears to contain material copied from http://www.americanacademy.de/home/program/past/why-nations-fail-origins-power-prosperity-and-poverty, and therefore to constitute a violation of Wikipedia's copyright policies. The copyrighted text has been or will soon be deleted. “ User:GrahamColm referred to the website that published their review of the book “Why Nations fail” SEVEN MONTHS LATER in March 2013 with no references at all!!! User:GrahamColm “didn’t notice” that the copyright problem was the other way around with me on 4 August 2012 and 11 references and them in March 2013 with no references. I don’t doubt that there will appear and have already appeared many more reviews of the same book elsewhere later than my article in August 2012. Isn’t it bizarre to charge me with the copyright problem? But I don’t object to the deletion of this article and any other article or all of them that have been downloaded by me to English Wikipedia. Easy riddance. GenOrl (talk) 12:16, 16 June 2013 (UTC)

• • This was published in The Guardian on 26 May 2012 "Inclusive states have no single centre of power but are innovative and prosperous thanks to the jostling of competing interests under the rule of law and secure property rights."[3] And this was added to the article at 15:44, on 4 August 2012, "Inclusive states have no single centre of power but are innovative and prosperous thanks to the jostling of competing interests under the rule of law and secure property rights".
