Hello, I'm CodeCat. 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 to Sevastopol 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. CodeCat (talk) 20:00, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
As an admin on the Ukrainian Wikipedia, I'm sure you know that contentious edits need WP:CONSENSUS before implementation. Your edit on Ukraine are not consistent with the consensus from past RfCs. The use of "occupied" is not neutral. Also, your edit made the population estimates incorrect by flipping which numbers included Crimea. We use the English spelling "Kiev", not "Kyiv". Please use the talk page before making any other edits. EvergreenFir (talk) 22:11, 13 April 2014 (UTC)
Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism can result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. All sources cited in the references, such as the academic works by Davies, Kroll and Babulin, agree that the Russian army lost 4,679 men in total, a figure that has been proved by a recent study of 17th-century archive documents. It is not just one "Russian source", as you tried to brand it, but a conclusion of modern scholarship. These sources don't support your number, so don't place it before them to make it seem "sourced". Furthermore, the figure of 30,000 men has been criticized in detail and is now regarded by the leading experts in the field as a heavily exaggeratted number, which is not based on any credible evidence whatsoever. See the sources cited and the rest of the article. It shouldn't be placed above modern and more reliable estimates. SlavonicStudies (talk) 12:47, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

Hello. I was just wondering if you could help us come to a consensus on the Taras Bulba-Borovets page. The user Nicolijaus seems to have his own ideas as to what should be on the page and keeps deleting sourced sentances. If you could come to the talk page and help make the consensus clear I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you very much. 71.121.248.91 (talk) 21:32, 13 April 2018 (UTC)

I reverted your edits where you changed the article's text without changing the source. The source cited does not say "Kyiv". Please. refrain such steps in future, because that is a violation of our policy.--Paul Siebert (talk) 14:56, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that your recent edit to Talk:Kyiv did not have an edit summary. You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or to provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances that your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits, an adequate summary may be quite brief.
The edit summary field looks like this:
Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)
Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary, and then click the "Save" button. Thanks! Wikiexplorationandhelping (talk) 01:45, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
You have recently edited a page related to Eastern Europe or the Balkans, a topic designated as contentious. This standard message is designed as an 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:
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.

do not change existing content, with 1991/1995 as a rule of thumb. BRD means you should not especially edit war over it. Others have been blocked for ignoring this and continuing to make changes in historical contexts after being warned. Mellk (talk) 11:56, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
that's right, be bold dear Geohem ☺️ our dear Mellk seems to be acting as a strict Kyiv --> Kiev ukrainian naming convention policy enforcer, and evidently is also willing to make an implicit threat of a block. we've had a similar discussion before, and i suspect the topic wont go away and on-the-contrary may be becoming more and more debated in the english language (¿and other languages too?) in-light-of the war, the re-interpretation of russian culture, and the ennobling of ukrainian culture. these trends might possibly eventually catalyze a more extensive policy change about ukrainian naming conventions, for example from Kiev to Kyiv. is it a more accurate representation of the sound of the word both now and in the past? i'm not sure cuz i'm not an expert.
i thank you for your edits dear Geohem. remember,
