Happy editing! I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 03:44, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making mass Kiev -> Kyiv edits. The consensus is to not change such spellings in historical contexts. I have undone most of your changes as a result. Thanks. Mellk (talk) 08:54, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please revert your undos. My changes were done for naming consistency in the text and has nothing to do with the historical context.

We can discuss each edit separately if you want. But not all your undos are even Kyiv->Kiev, you should be paying more attention to whatever you're undoing.

Thanks! Kyiv citizen (talk) 03:44, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There was an WP:RfC on this and the consensus is not to change "Kiev" to "Kyiv". Your edits did not follow this consensus. For example, the article Vasily Sedlyar is clearly historical so changing "Kiev" to "Kyiv" is not following the consensus here. Please take a look at the policies when you have a chance. Thanks. Mellk (talk) 03:50, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And yes, your changes are introducing anachronisms. Mellk (talk) 03:57, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Mellk here. Can you give one example where your renaming was appropriate or where their reversion of you is wrong? Mellk has given two examples where your renaming was inappropriate Sedlyar and Mikhail Bulgakov. Nil Einne (talk) 13:53, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit(s) you made to Wassily Kandinsky, did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Eugène Konopatzky. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. You have already been warned about WP:MOS regarding historical names.

Please stop. If you continue to use disruptive, inappropriate or hard-to-read formatting, as you did at Kliment Red'ko, you may be blocked from editing. There is a Wikipedia Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. You have been told about the WP:MOS for historical names several times now R0paire-wiki (talk) 05:56, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you make disruptive edits to Wikipedia contrary to the Manual of Style, as you did at Mikhail Bulgakov. Please look at the talk page messages regarding the RfC on historical naming conventions. You've been warned multiple times, this is the final warning.

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is User:Kyiv citizen. Thank you. Mellk (talk) 06:32, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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.
