Welcome!

I mainly focous on topics relating to Eastern Europe because it is my passion, I am Belorussian, but have been living in Russia since I was a child. Sorry if my edits are slightly biased but it usually depends where I get the information from. If you notice it. Just try to fix it. Thank you! I am willing to translate Russian content into English. (Note: I do not speak Belorussian, so don't ask me to translate belarussian content)

Hello, Russiaball, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

November 2014

Hello, I'm Iryna Harpy. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Second Battle of Donetsk Airport without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! Iryna Harpy (talk) 23:26, 28 November 2014 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did to Ukraine, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Iryna Harpy (talk) 23:28, 28 November 2014 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Eurasian Migrant Crisis

The article Eurasian Migrant Crisis has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Looks like an Original research

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

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

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

Replaceable fair use File:Volgograd old watchtower.jpeg

Thanks for uploading File:Volgograd old watchtower.jpeg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Nick⁠—⁠^Contact/_Contribs 17:39, 9 October 2015 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 20

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Ukrainians in Siberia, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Russian, Ukrainian and Collaborators. 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.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 11:52, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

Ways to improve Yermakovo, Krasnoyarsk Krai

Hi, I'm TonyBallioni. Russiaball, thanks for creating Yermakovo, Krasnoyarsk Krai!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. If you could include additional English-language references it would help verify the pages content.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.
