A tag has been placed on Broken Flag records requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for organizations and companies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding ((hangon))
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 04:44, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
Please stop your disruptive editing. You are saying about 'diversity of opinions', but you only saving the one opinion about GDL lecacy. So in fact you are acting opposite way. So I can describe it is as lie and duplicity. The articles that you are not allowing to edits have no something about neutral point of view, bacause it grounded in discussion of few points of few.
You clean up historical articles from any not-Lietuvan (in modern sense) line without any certain argumentation. And you deleted everything.
And that's when Grand Duchy of Lithuania article filled with the names of the princes with -as ending. But could you mention this kind of names in at least one chronicle? I am not. Same as the language. What's the proof that modern Lithuanian used the Duchy? There not, it just hypothesis and it's better for everybody to read about it not so uniquely. If I am wrong - please let me know the source proofs of this statements.
You edit's surely not grounded on Wikipedia neutral principals and very similar to vandalize what also supported by other cases, such as with Ukrainian and other slavonic-related pages. If you will no stop this erroneous activity you will be forced to be blocked from editing due negative censorship and propaganda of one historical version without any evidence.
Hello, I'm Hebel. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Gerard von Hebel (talk) 16:58, 9 July 2016 (UTC)
Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. Gerard von Hebel (talk) 17:10, 9 July 2016 (UTC)
Hello, I'm Hebel. I noticed that you made a comment that didn't seem very civil, so it has been removed. Wikipedia is built on collaboration, so it's one of our core principles to interact with one another in a polite and respectful manner. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Stop making unfounded accusations as you did on the talkpage of User:Sabbatino Gerard von Hebel (talk) 17:25, 9 July 2016 (UTC)
Dear Gerard, without this paragraph you deleting article is not objective. Please provide the original sources for:
My thoughts: Ruthenian language very similar to belarusian and it showed in chronics written in next centuries. Ruthenian even called also as old-belarusian and old-ukraninan. We can say that majority people spoken Ruthenian cause it used in law and also called as 'prosta mova' ('simple language'). I call modern-lihuaninan as modern because I know the source when lithuanian language mentioned as ruthenian: "For instance, duke Keystut in 1351 commanded the Lithuanian army in the Belarusian language. In a Latin -language source (Hungarian 'Dubickaya' chronicles) it was referred to as Litvanian (lithwanice). Keystut's call in Belarusian "The ox is our discords. God is with us!" was not only correctly transliterated by the witness ("rogachina rozne nachy gospanany" — which is clearly the aforementioned phrase in Belarusian), but also correctly translated into Latin ("cornutum ...iuramentum per nos ...Deus ad nos"), thus corroborating the case." For source the statements I've posted the link to M.Ermalovich book in belarusian language and mentioned another three authors. If it's not enough - why article using same historical books instead original chronicles?
If you want to save Wikipedia in neutral position of view, please provide the sources for this questioned statements.
Before this I see no reason to delete small paragraph in pro-samogitian article. Thank you. Craft37by (talk) 9 July 2016 (UTC)
A SPI in which you are involved has been submitted here. Gerard von Hebel (talk) 19:07, 9 July 2016 (UTC)
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.
Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you. Gerard von Hebel (talk) 23:37, 9 July 2016 (UTC)
((unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~))
.During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.
The full report is now in 3RRArchive321. I'm also alerting you to the discretionary sanctions under WP:ARBEE, since there seems to be some nationalist POV-pushing about the history of Lithuania. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 00:09, 10 July 2016 (UTC)
Please carefully read this information:
The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding Eastern Europe, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.
Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing.

User:Craft37bv Images that have copyright and are not demonstrably in the free domain can’t be added to Wikipedia articles. So when you’re not sure it’s best to stay away from them. I have no idea about the status of this image. We also do not add suggestive or disclaiming language to Wikipedia articles to emphasise a contentious POV that is not supported by the language and reliable sources of the article, as you did there. It makes for bad and suggestive writing and will be challenged and removed. Gerard von Hebel (talk) 20:08, 18 July 2016 (UTC)
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:
This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Your recent editing history at Grand Duchy of Lithuania shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
Please continue the discussion on the article's talk page and do not re-add the content. -- samtar talk or stalk 10:51, 19 July 2016 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Draft:Shark Quest, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

. Per this comment, where you accuse User:Sabbatino of being "just a liar in service of Moscow propaganda". You have also incorrectly charged Sabbatino with vandalism. EdJohnston (talk) 20:34, 12 July 2018 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Grand Duchy of Lithuania, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Bernardines (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

I do not know who you think you are but stop the misconceptions and adding a 'Lithuanian-Polish Commonwealth'. There was no such state and obviously you are idolizing some kind of litvin ideology instead of sticking to facts sadly. Thanks. You are being warned again. Stop persistent vandalism and edit war. Just because somebody is from Vilnius doesn't make them Belarusian. Oliszydlowski, 11:12, 4 August 2018 (UTC)

. Per the discussions on my talk page and the complaints about you there by other editors, as well as the previous blocks in your block log, including one for personal attacks. You show no insight into the problem of your unusual POV about the history of Lithuania (described by others as 'Litvinist') and there is no indication you are going to wait for consensus.

Request reason:
Confirming that the block is in fact not necessary to prevent damage or disruption. === Why I believe I should be unblocked? === I've blocked with no really grounded reason by case in the past while starting reporting suspicious activity of the user Sabbatino (talk) with superficial consideration of the matter by EdJohnston (talk) Moderator EdJohnson indicated the following: * Disruptive editing: Pushing of unusual nationalist POV about history of Lithuania. Objection: There is no examples of such activity but I've blocked exactly in same time while asking concrete explanations about deleting content added by me, which still have not grounded. I didn't get an explanation why the graphical additions (which are the works of European cartographers of the 17-18 centuries) are deleted due to poor grammar. The information from the primary sources was deleted and the reasons were not explained. Link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:EdJohnston/Archive_45#Concerned_with_edits_made_by_user_Sabbatino_2 Until this I see the removal of such information as a true manifestation of POV vandalism. That's contradicts the neutral comprehensive, objective study of the issue which is Wikipedia values. * Personal attacks. Objection: In rules PA are described as "Accusations about personal behavior that LACK evidence". Generally, my assumptions (which I underlined with the word SEEMS) HAVE evidence so couldn't be described as personal attack. So block doesn't violates wikipedia blocking policy. Days later I reported on the similarity of the lexicon of the Kremlin's ideologue and user (talk) - not to offend anyone, but to clarify my suspicions. Did not receive an intelligible answer but got block via this episode: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Craft37by#Personal_attacks, which already issued a warning and there were no prerequisites for its recurrence. I don't have any personal claims, but spoke about the activity of another user whom I suspect in vandalism. * Unwilling to wait for consensus Objection: This is a very vague formulation that I have not found in the rules. It is enough to stretch the consensus in time and this will be an instrument of censorship and a departure from the values of Wikipedia. As I see there is still no even explanations around deleting my addings, discussion was archived and I was blocked with no will to find consensus around edits: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:EdJohnston/Archive_45#Concerned_with_edits_made_by_user_Sabbatino_2. Thanks for attention to this really unusual case. I hope for a fair consideration of the matter.

Confirming that the block contradicts Wikipedia rules. I've blocked with no really grounded reason by case in the past while starting reporting suspicious activity of the user Sabbatino with superficial consideration of the matter by EdJohnston. So EdJohnson indicated the following: * Multiple accounts Objection: Multiple account are allowed by rules so couldn't be the reason of blocking and I should be unblocked: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sock_puppetry#Legitimate_uses .

Decline reason:
Pro-tip: Lecturing us about blocking policy is annoying. Calling another admin "unreasonable" makes you look bad. Almost forgot-- quasi legalese is annoying. This is not a court of law. Posturing wastes time better spent elsewhere. See boilerplate blah-blah that follows. You should reread the WP:GAB. I am declining your unblock request because it does not address the reason for your block, or because it is inadequate for other reasons. To be unblocked, you must convince the reviewing administrator(s) that

Request reason:
Hello. I believe the original block is not necessary to prevent damage or disruption to Wikipedia cause there no proofs or certain examples that my activity not useful for the community. POV claims are lack of explanations which is suggested by rules: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:POV. My invitations for Talk page to Sabbatino for finding consensus was ignored. I was getting reverts with general formulations like 'bad content' I never got any detailed deciphering of such concepts. I never got explanations of 'good authors' and 'bad authors' and it getting seems like a personal censorship by Sabbatino.. Administrator EdJohnston seems to have missed all these circumstances when making a decision of blocking. Second block around multiple accounts accordingly has no force because there were no proofs and multiple accounts are not forbidden. In addition to many arguments which you can see above on my talk page - I want to report that I only adding information with references, always holding neutral scientific position. I noticed that articles around Grand Duchy of Lithuania lacks of many sources which are in open access nowdays in Google Books or rare maps collections sites. Also information in article a bit distorted cause based on lietuvian authors books which is over-patriotized. As I believe that Wikipedia is the place for wide information representation from many angles - I struggling to add british, german, french, etc. sources. Many of which are primary sources which is especially valuable. Original maps of contemporaries are very neutral. Generally, my activity addings always mentioned third-party references, not personal\POV. Thanks for your time. Sorry for bothering but I want to protect my right and continue to make useful contributions for better Wikipedia. Craft37by (talk) 09:33, 6 September 2018 (UTC)

Hello, EdJohnston.
Well, I am sorry if I acted emotional in past but that's was caused by removals of the information which I hardly prepared in free time to share. Again, please let me know, what's wrong with my certain additions? Does it lack references? What is criteria of bad references?
Here is the rules around POV ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:POV ) which are informs - 'Please also explain on the article's talk page why you are adding this tag, identifying specific issues that are actionable within Wikipedia's content policies.'
Ed, I never met any explanations in article talk pages from Sabbatino - he just constantly removed by edits all together.
Here is the examples of removals which I collected and they are not explained even month later: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:EdJohnston/Archive_45#Concerned_with_edits_made_by_user_Sabbatino_2
Is it really well? Thanks for you time. Waiting for your answer. Craft37by (talk) 09:43, 6 September 2018 (UTC)
