Move revert

Hello Zerbrxsler. I have reverted your page move over at 2023 Belgorod Oblast attack. Please do not move pages while there is a move request open. Wait until the discussion is closed to implement any sort of move. Thanks. – MaterialWorks 21:11, 22 May 2023 (UTC)

There was established consensus as you can see from the responses. The great majority, if not all but one, agreed with it. Zerbrxsler (talk) 21:15, 22 May 2023 (UTC)

The RM has been open for less than a day, that's just not enough time to gauge consensus. Slow down a bit, let it run for a few days before making a judgement.

PS: Also, please be aware of WP:POLL, we don't establish a consensus with a number of votes. – MaterialWorks 21:21, 22 May 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for the clarification. I did not know you have to wait for a time period. Zerbrxsler (talk) 21:28, 22 May 2023 (UTC)

Bare links

Please use cite templates or some other form of complete referencing when citing sources rather than inserting bare links for others to clean up. In addition, please be conscious of which sources are reliable; some sources, for example Newsweek, which you have cited are not very reliable. Flemmish Nietzsche (talk) 21:00, 6 August 2024 (UTC)

@Flemmish Nietzsche Hi Flemmish Nietzsche, I planned to add the cite template after. I usually use it right away but I had difficulties on phone. Regarding Newsweek, I based my opinion on information of the Media Bias/Fact Check Database, where it has a high credibility rating. I will, however, re-assess with the new information I got about this outlet, and look for alternative sources. Thanks for pointing out the concerns. Zerbrxsler (talk) 19:53, 9 August 2024 (UTC)

Subsections

Hi, Zerbrxsler. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia! Please note that, per the Manual of Style, dividing short sections into subsections, as you did in Arkhanhelske, Donetsk Oblast and other articles, is discouraged for being disruptive to reading. See MOS:OVERSECTION for more information. Thanks! – Primium (talk) 02:50, 9 August 2024 (UTC)

@Primium Hi Primium, thanks a lot for bringing this to my attention, I'm rather new to this platform and wanted to give settlements of the Eastern Ukraine campaign a cleaner and more unitised look. I will refrain from adding unnecessary subsections in rather empty articles. Zerbrxsler (talk) 19:41, 9 August 2024 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to Eastern Europe or the Balkans, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

• adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
• comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
• follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
• comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
• refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template. If you have questions, please contact me or ask at the Arbitration Committee Clerks Noticeboard. Mellk (talk) 21:37, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for October 29

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Yampil, Donetsk Oblast, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Relocate.
