Stravinsky article

edit

I saw your message at User talk:Jerome Kohl and did wonder myself: "After Russia annexed this part of Poland, the Soulima was dropped, and during the reign of Catherine the Great the family moved to Russia." This looks wrong but now I wonder if it refers to his ancestors rather than the immediate family? I'll dig out Stravinsky-Craft in the morning... — Iadmctalk  02:34, 16 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

  Your addition has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license.

Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

Slavuta33, have you done this anywhere else? I see you have been editing the Stravinsky article, for example. Please don't just copy and paste from copyright sources. We can get in a lot of trouble if we allow this. Thanks, Antandrus (talk) 16:15, 3 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

Edit-warring at Ilya Repin

edit

Since you are clearly above three reverts, I reported you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring#User:68.184.153.171 and User:Slavuta33 reported by User:Ymblanter (Result: ).--Ymblanter (talk) 19:01, 3 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

Hello Slavuta33. You seem to be here on Wikipedia to promote a nationalist agenda rather than to help the encyclopedia. If you don't reply to the complaint and agree to stop you may be blocked from editing. Since nationalism is in the air, I'm also alerting you to the Eastern Europe discretionary sanctions (below).

The complaint about you at the edit warring noticeboard is now closed with a warning. If you desire to change the nationality or the ancestry of any cultural figures that may be connected to Ukraine, you should get consensus for your change *first* on the talk page. Otherwise you are risking a block. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 15:27, 4 January 2017 (UTC)Reply
