Hi, I see a debate and edit war about the geography and gdp in the Romania page, could you check it? OrionNimrod (talk) 10:11, 2 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi Super Dromaeosaurus, I see a sockpuppet is blocked in the Romania talk page, so can I restore that "Romania crossroad Central Europe..." etc? Is there a consensus? What do you think? OrionNimrod (talk) 16:04, 4 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Yes, I believe there is consensus for this change. Super Dromaeosaurus (talk) 16:19, 4 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I believe it's ridiculous for you to accuse me of being inexperience just because I made few editing mistakes. I also think it's ridiculous that you get yourself involved in the arbitration request case I filed against two other editors especially since I was considering adding you as well as you also have been showing questionable biasness even going as far as to admit you are Pro-Ukraine which means you will mostly likely have a biasness for Ukraine when editing any article related to the war in Ukraine. I don't mind you making your case against me so long as is logical and has common sense. LegendaryChristopher (talk) 22:43, 3 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello. I believe it's ridiculous for you to accuse me of being inexperience just because I made few editing mistakes. as in skipping completely Wikipedia's dispute resolution processes and going to the last resort option over an issue that isn't a violation of any policy in the first place? even going as far as to admit you are Pro-Ukraine which means you will mostly likely have a biasness for Ukraine when editing any article related to the war in Ukraine. if you have any evidence rather than a "likely" supposition as you say that I am not editing neutrally you are free to take any measures you deem necessary.

Thank you Super Dromaeosaurus, I am writing this article: 1995 March Gagauzian referendum. On the aftermath section I used a Moldovan/Romanian article using Machine Translation. As I understand, Basarabeasca District and Burlăceni communes decided to have a referendum to join UTAG, which was rejected. Pdf: https://www.undp.org/sites/g/files/zskgke326/files/migration/md/Brosura_CICDE-Open-Talks.pdf page 51. But I couldnt find any more information. If you get any information why it was rejected, I would appreciate it. Also, if you are familiar with the subject, any addition would be great. Thanks!

Hi Joseph, the source says that inhabitants of the city (not district) of Basarabeasca (which at the time was 31% ethnically Romanian, 22% Russian, 17% Gagauz and others) and the commune of Burlăceni (45% Gagauz as of 2004, I think the Gagauz population of a location had to be of at least 50% for the referendums to be held but I am not sure) requested referendums to join the Gagauz autonomy, but the Central Electoral Commission of Moldova rejected this. But this happened on November and December 1998, not in 1995, thus I think it should be made a passing mention in something like an "Aftermath" section. You mostly got it correct.

By the way, I think the title of the purported article should be different. It is not necessary to mention the month as no other referendums related to the Gagauz took place in 1995 as far as I know. It was also not a single referendum but individual referendums held in each Gagauz village. Lastly "Gagauzian" would refer to "of Gagauzia" rather than "of the Gagauz people" like "Gagauz" (think of it like the difference between "Kazakhstani" and "Kazakh", you can be an ethnic Kazakh in China but not a Kazakhstani is you're not from Kazakhstan). However Gagauzia did not exist yet as a legitimate entity, it is these referendums that did exactly that, so we shouldn't be talking about any Gagauzia in the title, legally these settlements were just regular parts of Moldova at the time. I would propose something like "1995 Gagauz autonomy referendums" or "1995 southern Moldova referendums". Super Dromaeosaurus (talk) 10:54, 8 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I hadn't read the article before replying, you already did the aftermath section thing, yeah it all looks fine, just that I would rewrite the sentence we're dealing with like this: In November 1998, the local councils of the town of Basarabeasca and the commune of Burlăceni requested referendums to join the Gagauz autonomy, however this was rejected by Central Electoral Commission. (no date for when did the CEC reject it as according to the source two separate decisions were adopted and we don't know if the November one or the December one was the first to reject these requests).

Thanks, I will update the article accordingly and change the title when moving to the main space. Joseph (talk) 11:26, 8 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi, just I would like let you know that a brand new user highly obsessed with Ottoman battles (many Wallachian one) and fast rewrite all of them with the usually boring pattern: "Ottoman army was small and lost always few men and always won" Special:Contributions/Nabukednezar03 https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Siege_of_Svetigrad&diff=prev&oldid=1198694566 OrionNimrod (talk) 20:48, 24 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I think that's a user who we've already met in the past. AlexBachmann (talk) 20:52, 24 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

How annoying. I don't know how that Târgoviște page keeps attracting the most irritating people ever. This time it should be easier to get rid of them though. Super Dromaeosaurus (talk) 21:18, 24 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

He added Turkish sources to all his edits. Look at his talk page, he commented with extreme anger. Vbbanaz05 (talk) 21:33, 24 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I am writing a WP:ANI report right now. I will ping you all there. I ask you all for your help, to end this dispute as soon as possible. Super Dromaeosaurus (talk) 21:36, 24 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Super Dromaeosaurus, he attacks more battle articles not just the Targoviste one. Perhaps he violated 3 reverts rule as well OrionNimrod (talk) 21:38, 24 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@OrionNimrod He says very harsh words to you. Vbbanaz05 (talk) 21:41, 24 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

My best examples:

I am aware the medieval Ottoman sources: all writes only the victorious battles and keep silent about the lost one. The sultan is the God then enemy like

Hunyadi

is the Devil. For example they write Hungarian army was 200,000 at the

battle of Mohacs

and the victorious Ottoman just 100,000. It is quite unrealistic, considering Hungarian economy, avaliable troops, population etc.. Modern Hungarian historians say it was about 25,000 and not 200,000 as medieval Ottoman sources say to boost the sultan's victory more.

Talk:Siege of Belgrade (1456)#"Turks won the field battle"? I see a joke here that the Ottomans won 1456 Belgrade... Ottoman empire had many great victories, I really do not know why for some users need to change even the lost battles to victory... OrionNimrod (talk) 21:48, 24 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I'm sorry for this, I'm a Turk like them, the reason why this happened is because Turks are a very nationalistic people. And when they see such things on the internet, they are used to getting angry very quickly and intervening immediately. Vbbanaz05 (talk) 22:33, 24 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I find your apology very noble and I thank you for it but no need to apologize, as far as I know everyone in this thread is from the Balkans or its surroundings, I am sure all of us have seen fellow countrymen acting improperly on this site, explosive nationalism is common in this area.
