@333-blue: Because there are many other settlements in the country named Stepove. HappyWith (talk) 17:27, 25 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I just got a Wikipedia alert on the review of the Wikipedia article Ukraine Salvation Committee and I thought that I had written it in the past.... But it turned out that I had only created the page as a re-direct and that you are the true creator of the page. It turned out great and I also found out that you have been creating lots of quality Ukrainian-related content on English Wikipedia lately. As a thanks here is a plate of borscht for you Thanks again! — Yulia Romero • Talk to me! 19:20, 2 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

PS I did create and added lots of information to People's Committee to Protect Ukraine (back in the days) that was against the same Mykola Azarov who is now in this Ukraine Salvation Committee that turned out to be more "hysterical and hopeless" then People's Committee to Protect Ukraine.... — Yulia Romero • Talk to me! 19:20, 2 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thanks! The page is a bit of a structural mess, but I thought it was a surprising hole in WP's coverage that we didn't have a page on the group so I wanted to translated it quick.

There really are a lot of groups with names that are variations on "Ukrainian Committee" all from the same time period, jeez. HappyWith (talk) 22:39, 2 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Yeah I remember that time period being very "Ukrainian Committee"-ish too. Although this time period (as I remember it) was (also) filled with various pro-russian "Ukrainian Committee"'s (for example "Ukrainian Choice"). I think that that type of pro-russian political way of doing things will not come back to Ukraine. Although time will tell. — Yulia Romero • Talk to me! 17:20, 1 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

It could be that I was wrong since this Second Ukraine-thing happened.... — Yulia Romero • Talk to me! 19:40, 1 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Bilohirivka is part of the Donetsk Oblast and has nothing to do with the Luhansk campaign, which is on the left side of the Donetsk River. Stop creating a circus and desecrating existing articles. Bilohirivka is a strategic military point and deserves a separate article, and you or someone else stuffed some articles into last year's Ukrainian Kharkiv counter-offensive articles that have nothing to do with that brief Ukrainian counter-offensive, e.g. The Battle of Vuhledar and the Ukrainian rocket attack on Makeevka on New Year's Eve. What do Vuhledar and Makeevka have to do with Kharkiv? — Baba Mica (talk) 11:46, 3 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Bilohorivka is literally in Luhansk Oblast. The name of the article is Bilohorivka, Luhansk Oblast. I have no idea what you are talking about, but please stop using personal attacks against me. HappyWith (talk) 16:57, 3 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

		The Barnstar of Diligence
		Thank you for all the work you did on the battle of Kherson article! Your improvements will almost inevitably lead to the article reaching good article status in the future! Thank you! The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 05:33, 8 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Well, it is finally time for a logged warning, and if you continue disruption like this further actions will be taken. This is not the first time you are trying to do something on Wikipedia, specifically in the topic of Eastern Europe which is under discretionary sanctions, without really having the knowledge of the subject area. I used to address you at the corresponding talk pages, but things are really not getting better. Ymblanter (talk) 19:29, 13 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

What? How is that disruption? It’s a disambig page with no blue links, I thought those were eligible. HappyWith (talk) 20:05, 13 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

You really have to be looking at this in the most conspiratorial way to not WP:AGF here. Wasn't it only earlier this month that the policy was changed to not include SIA anyway? HappyWith (talk) 20:07, 13 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

If the article existed since 2013 probably it was a good reason why it did. You obviously did not care. To be honest, I do not even see how you could answer anything except for "I am sorry, I will be more careful in the future", but apparently you managed to find a way to double down. Ymblanter (talk) 20:44, 13 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

And WP:SIA was last changed in 2019, other than minor fixes and vandalism / vandalism reverts. Ymblanter (talk) 20:47, 13 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

It was obviously a simple misreading of a guideline on a tiny article that didn't do any actual harm since an admin just corrected me and removed the template. I've seen plenty of established users, including admins, make similar mistakes regarding disambig pages in this very same topic area. I'm sorry I messed up, but I don't agree with your characterization at all. The age of the article is completely irrelevant. HappyWith (talk) 21:15, 13 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

This is not the first time you have seriously screwed up, and, I am afraid, with this attitude, not the last one. Ymblanter (talk) 21:33, 13 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Are there other specific incidents you have in mind? If I'm really messing up habitually, I do want to change that. HappyWith (talk) 21:38, 13 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I ask because I genuinely don't know what else you're referring to. HappyWith (talk) 21:59, 13 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Talk:Administrative divisions of Donetsk Oblast#Incorrect information added to the article? Removal of Russian names of Ukrainian localities where Russian is predominant language? Other stuff I would need to search for. Ymblanter (talk) 11:19, 14 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I think I've only removed Russian names where there's been no evidence for a place being a Russophone settlement, IIRC. This is just disagreements over content, IMO. HappyWith (talk) 17:17, 14 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Ok, next time I see smth I will bring it here in the form of a warning. Ymblanter (talk) 17:22, 14 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

👍 HappyWith (talk) 18:56, 14 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Going further: You added this information yourself. Either you added it without having any source, and then at best you violated WP:V, or you had a source, and then you should be able to add it yourself.--Ymblanter (talk) 08:41, 16 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

That is not what vandalism is. There obviously is a source, but I just didn’t have the time to put it in bc I didn’t have it on hand at the time, so I put the tag there to remind myself/others in the meantime. HappyWith (talk) 14:46, 16 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Also, I didn’t even remember I was the one who added the text - that was months ago. HappyWith (talk) 14:48, 16 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Introducing false information into the text of an article [1]--Ymblanter (talk) 20:36, 9 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Crud, I really thought that was the right village. Now that I look at the article, it does say "the Ostrogoz region". Sorry, should have translated the source more carefully. In my defense, other editors made the same mistake - if you look at the original version of 2 January 2024 Russian strikes on Ukraine (which is translated from ukwiki), it linked to the incorrect village as well. I think that's where I got the erroneous info from in the first place. The English sources didn't specify the district, IIRC. HappyWith (talk) 21:14, 9 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi, I have seen that you created the redirect from 70th Motorized Rifle Division to 42nd Guards Motor Rifle Division- why is this? According to Order of battle for the Russian invasion of Ukraine both divisions seem to exist separately. Best wishes, SEM (talk) 10:53, 21 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

This was a while ago, but I think the article for the 42th itself lists the 70th as being subordinate - "...three of its Motor Rifle Regiments (70th, 71st, and 291st)." Feel free to make it into its own page or delete the redirect if that's not actually true. HappyWith (talk) 15:14, 21 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Ah, but that's the 70th Motor Rifle Regiment, no? The Division is credited on the OOB with the 24th and 28th Motor Rifle Regiments. Unfortunately I don't have enough material to write the article - I actually stumbled upon it when I wanted to read more about the 70th Division :-) SEM (talk) 18:53, 21 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

		Ukraine Barnstar
		I give you this Ukraine Barnstar for creating the Wikipedia article On the Condemnation and Prohibition of Propaganda of Russian Imperial Policy in Ukraine and the Decolonization of Toponymy and doing tons of Ukrainian related edits in the past months! — Yulia Romero • Talk to me! 16:47, 1 January 2024 (UTC) Reply[reply]

The creation of this article filled another hole in WP's coverage . Mind you that the law itself will make a lot of Ukrainian toponomy in Ukraine get a different name.... I found out today that a rather long list in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast alone (including I think "Dnipropetrovsk Oblast" itself will be an illegal name in February 2024...). I presume this list will be longer for Kharkiv Oblast since following 1991 derussianization was even a lower priority there then in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast (that is a calculated guess). And of course I now only mention two Ukrainian Oblasts of the 24... That is something to keep in mind and of course it would have been better if they had changed the toponomy names long before Wikipedia started, so we could have been sparred this work.... — Yulia Romero • Talk to me! 17:04, 1 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Dnipropetrovsk Oblast and Kirovohrad Oblast are illegal names under 2015 Decommunization laws even. The Constitutional Court decided on the new names a long time ago (Sicheslav Oblast and Kropyvnytskyi Oblast respectively), but the changes still haven't been implemented because renaming oblasts requires editing the Constitution, which cannot be done while Martial Law is in effect. No idea why they haven't renamed these in the period of 2015-2022 though. Shwabb1 (talk) 05:38, 8 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

+ Happy new year (with lots of work ahead — Yulia Romero • Talk to me! 17:22, 1 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thanks! HappyWith (talk) 18:33, 1 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Would you mind avoiding ((conv)) and writing ((convert)) instead. The saving in the amount of typing is inconsequential so conv has no benefit. The downside is that it causes confusion for other editors who know what convert is (or at least, could guess), but who may not know what conv is. There are over 3.2 million ((convert)) templates in articles but hardly any ((conv)). A complication is that ((cvt)) is a useful abbreviation for convert and cvt has an extra property, namely that it sets |abbr=on so unit symbols are shown, not names. Some editors assume ((conv)) does the same, but it doesn't. Johnuniq (talk) 04:06, 11 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Sure, never thought about it that way. I'll try to remember to do that in future. HappyWith (talk) 15:20, 11 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
