== Notability of [[Ge with dot below]] == |

A tag has been placed on [[:Talk:Pervomaiske, Odessa Oblast]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason: |

Hi Michael. [[Ge with dot below]] came across my radar while doing NPP. I see that you've [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/A with acute (Cyrillic)|nominated similar articles]] for deletion and wanted to apprise you of this article if you believe it's not notable.

:Thanks for the heads up. It is dubious that that is a separate letter belonging to an alphabet, but more likely just the use of a dot under a regular Cyrillic letter. But I don’t know Arabic, and I don’t know about Cyrillization of Arabic, so have no way of evaluating it as a valid subject. —''[[user:Mzajac|Michael]] [[user_talk:Mzajac|Z]].'' 04:12, 13 November 2023 (UTC) |

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with [[Wikipedia:List of policies|Wikipedia's policies and guidelines]].

Hi Michael, @[[User:Crash48|Crash48]] opened a case at [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case#Ukrainian_language]] in which they accuse both you and me of POV-pushing, but it seems that they didn't inform you. I feel that the case will probably come to nothing because it doesn't meet the requirements, but since I have absolutely no experience with arbitration, I thought I should inform you. I'm not sure whether I should reply there or make better use of my time. [[User:Rsk6400|Rsk6400]] ([[User talk:Rsk6400|talk]]) 14:32, 15 November 2023 (UTC) |

== New development: "Ukrainian language" == |
|||
Hi Michael, Crash48 took the issue to [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement#Rsk6400]]. [[User:Rsk6400|Rsk6400]] ([[User talk:Rsk6400|talk]]) 17:14, 24 December 2023 (UTC) |

== The Luhansk People's Republic and the Donetsk People's Republic ceased to exist, and need to be written in the past tense. == |
|||
Hello. |
|||
The [[Luhansk People's Republic]] and the [[Donetsk People's Republic]] ceased to exist, when Russia annexed them in 2022. The introduction of both articles need to be written in the past tense, not only because their establishment, existence and absorption were de facto, but also because they ceased to exist from a Russian perspective, after Russia first officially recognized them in 2022 and then officially annexed them as regions of Russia later that year. As you stated, Russia dropped all pretense of their "independence", when it annexed them. Maybe new articles about the de facto "Russian" regions of Luhansk and Donetsk should be created, to reflect the current situation of these two regions, just like there is an article about the de facto [[Republic of Crimea]] of Russia, as opposed to the de jure [[Autonomous Republic of Crimea]] of Ukraine. |

:{{re|Multituberculata}} from a Russian perspective, these republics continue to exist as [[Republics of Russia]]. There are quite a few of those, none of them independent. [[User:Crash48|Crash48]] ([[User talk:Crash48|talk]]) 19:59, 29 December 2023 (UTC) |
|||
::Yes, that is my point. They were Russian-controlled and remain so, under the same names. Independence was a pretense that has been given up. Changing them to the past tense would be misleading as it would imply some supposedly independence-seeking Ukrainian statelets existed that never did. |
|||
::These and related articles ''should'' be revised, with an emphasis on replacing contemporary news reporting with more recent expert and academic history sources. All the BS about “Russian-supported separatists” and journalistic [[both-sidesing]] can be replaced with what reliable sources in retrospect tell us they were: Russian-controlled illegal militias, aided by some local collaborators, violently occupying Ukrainian lands and people most of whom never wanted to join Russia. —''[[user:Mzajac|Michael]] [[user_talk:Mzajac|Z]].'' 00:01, 30 December 2023 (UTC) |

{{tq|You’re defending your constant reverts by championing BBC Features correspondent Amy McPherson as a reliable source on etymology}}.[https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Talk:Russia&diff=prev&oldid=1193456237] This is out of line now. I ask you to cut it out.

:Why did you dig up a year-old edit if not to badger me? Maybe it could have been better but there’s nothing wrong with it. “And this is coming from a sysop” is just further personal criticism for its own sake. I don’t have to take your accusations when you are being toxic on top of your obstructive style of constantly reverting me. Just try to focus on ''improving'' articles instead of preventing edits. —''[[user:Mzajac|Michael]] [[user_talk:Mzajac|Z]].'' 23:03, 3 January 2024 (UTC) |
|||
::I didn't dig up anything, you made changes to the etymology section and I remember the last time you made edits to the section, since I have done work on the section. I ''partially'' reverted your changes and asked you which source uses the spelling and then you accused me of {{tq|nuking all improvements}} and {{tq|always being obstructive}}. Now you try mocking me with the last comment about the BBC article. Of course, I get irritated by your false accusations and yes, you should not have sysop privileges and this has been said many times before.

:::Well here’s what I see. You often revert my good-faith edits, which I put work and research into, without any discussion. You restored some of what I did this time, but when I told you what else I had corrected there you didn’t seem to care. You dig up old diffs and let me know you don’t like me. You show no appreciation but apparent disdain for my work, thinking it’s okay to revert instead of cooperating or improving on it. You are unhappy that I have admin privileges; I don’t know why you should care. It feels like you prioritize obstructing me over improving the encyclopedia, and of course it’s easy to revert in 10 seconds after I’ve spent thirty minutes or two hours preparing some edit. Maybe I’m wrong. You probably don’t see it this way. |

::::I have just shown you how your edit does not follow the source. It does not matter how long you have spent on the edit when it does not follow policies such as [[WP:V]]. Then you immediately resort to personal attacks. Even if I was wrong to revert the edit, you don't have the right to make personal attacks. But sure, such behavior is really enticing to people to cooperate and discuss with you. I initially did not have a problem with discussing the edit but you doubled down on the hostility. If you get pissed off so easily and cannot edit in an area without lashing out, then you should not be editing there. Since you are an admin, you should lead by example. Instead, you contribute to the toxicity in the topic area. [[User:Mellk|Mellk]] ([[User talk:Mellk|talk]]) 00:27, 4 January 2024 (UTC) |

Wikipedia 15
[edit]
Wikipedia is celebrating its 15th birthday on January 15, 2016. I have thought for a while that it would be neat to meet some local wikipedians. According to the wikipedians in Winnipeg or Wikipedians in Manitoba category you are one of us. I am contacting people in this category to say: Let's celebrate this milestone. If you know other wikipedians, please ask them to join in as well.
I am posting this to your talk page as a transclude so that any updates will show up automatically.
Hope to see you there! Tenbergen (talk) 04:46, 22 December 2015 (UTC)
One other Winnipeg Wikipedian showed up, in addition to a number of regular skullspace members. It was nice to actually talk to someone else who has worked with Mediawiki and actually "gets" transclusion. Cake was eaten! Tenbergen (talk) 06:37, 16 January 2016 (UTC)
- Aw, apparently I haven't logged in to Wikipedia in over 6 years and I totally missed this message and the event! I guessed I missed any 20 year celebration, too. Let me know if you end up doing a 25 year one. :) Clayton Rumley (talk) 22:52, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
