  Your recent edits to User talk:Coolak could give Wikipedia contributors the impression that you may consider legal or other "off-wiki" action against them, or against Wikipedia itself. Please note that making such threats on Wikipedia is strictly prohibited under Wikipedia's policies on legal threats and civility. Users who make such threats may be blocked. If you have a dispute with the content of any page on Wikipedia, please follow the proper channels for dispute resolution. Please be sure to comment on content, not contributors, and where possible make specific suggestions for changes supported by reliable independent sources and focusing especially on verifiable errors of fact. Thank you. I'm referring to this edit and your reference to a "lawsuit". Seagull123 Φ 18:04, 29 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hi, English Wikipedia policy is still very strict on anything that could even be interpreted as a legal threat: Do not post legal threats on Wikipedia. A legal threat, in this context, is a threat to engage in an external (real life) legal or other governmental process that would target other editors. I know that Russian Wikipedia is separate to English Wikipedia, but you posted this on English Wikipedia, so English Wikipedia's policies apply. Seagull123 Φ 18:16, 29 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
I can't speak or read Russian, but Russian Wikipedia appears to have a similar policy, here: ru:Википедия:Не угрожайте судебными исками. Seagull123 Φ 18:19, 29 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
Seagull123 , thanks for the answer! Sorry, but you misunderstood me. This rule has nothing to do with what I wrote. In the message to the user, I spoke about the Russian Arbitration Committee which is an analogue to the English Arbitration Committee. I wasn't talking about real life. I have not spoken about any claims in real courts. I am familiar with all the rules of Wikipedia and I certainly would not do that. Moreover, since question was successfully formed, I do not think in the future to use the English Wikipedia as a means for such a connection. The invitation concerned exclusively Russian Wikipedia, but at that time I had no means of communication other than English Wikipedia. I'm sure this is the last time this kind of misunderstanding has happened. I sincerely apologize for the misunderstanding. --友里(Talk) 20:03, 29 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Olga Matskevich

edit
 

The article Olga Matskevich has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Not enough in-depth coverage to pass WP:GNG, and doesn't meet WP:NACTOR.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 page 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.
