Demographics of Ukraine

Hello. I am Belal. I deleted the sentence - The total population including those territories is 44,882,411[5] cuz we cannnot add Crimean+Sebastopolis population (2017) to Ukrainian ppulation (2017). For example, it was ~383900 people in 2014 and 428700 in 2017.This people moslty came from Russia (or they wer born under Rus jurisdiction. They have no any relations to Ukraine. The same with Crimea. Maybe we can add Criamean+Sebastopolis population (2014) to Ukrainian population (2017)? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.34.27.105 (talk) 15:24, 30 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

History of the Donets Basin

Hello, Iryna!

You reverted my edits on some pages. I'd like to explain why you should not have done this. I read on you page that you can speak Russian and Ukrainian, so I am going to give you some links in Russian or Ukrainian if you don't mind.

The Donets–Krivoy Rog Soviet Republic can't be named after Donetsk, because the city got its today's name only in 1961 [1]. As you can see on Russian Wikipedia, one of the name is "Республика Донецкого и Криворожского (в некоторых документах — Криворогскаго) бассейнов". The word донецкий has different meaning: river, region, oblast, city. In this case, it was named after the Donets Basin.

Now, let's talk about its flag. [2] That flag – which is used on the page – is not the flag of the republic. This is the flag of a pro-Russian separatist organization from the 90s, so-called Intermovement of the Donets Basin (Template:Lang-ru). They just modified the flag of the Ukrainian SSR.


Why did you delete the Russian name of the river? On all other similar pages there are only lesser coat of arms. So, what is wrong with WP:POV on the page? Here you wrote that it's WP:OR. Well, one can check it: [3], [4], [5]

Regards,

You did it again. Why? What other evidence do you need? — Ιγκόρ (talk) 18:12, 1 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Ιγκόρ: Please take these individual content concerns to the talk pages of each article. You're mixing and matching various issues in one breath. The best venue for such discussion is article talk pages. It's not me you have to convince, it's other editors and the Wikipedia community by en masse. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 00:25, 2 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your support

It seems that Wikipedia attracts people with problems, who are happy to bash me. User:Xx236 (talk) 07:40, 6 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Xx236: You're welcome! It was an unfortunate outcome, but I hope that won't stop you from working on the many articles not directly related to 'Soviet' topics. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 21:09, 6 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Irreligion in Albania

Could you explain specific complaints as for what is OR? I believe most of what I had in there was fairly cited. --Yalens (talk) 21:05, 6 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Yalens: I'm about to log off for the day (although I'll try to find time to get back to this issue specifically before tomorrow). There was potentially some useful content introduced, but the general overview of the new content was a breach of WP:NOR. I'll get back to you on the article's talk page so that we can go through the material and develop the article constructively ASAP. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 21:17, 6 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Revert on June 9 2017.

Hello. This is a message regarding your recent revert of my edit(my recent contributions) to List of most common surnames in Asia. I understand your point that forebears.io may not be a reliable source. Nevertheless, that is the reference used(forebears.co.uk is used but they are the same thing) for each and every other item on the list. Thank you.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Aravindreddy96 (talk • contribs) 20:24, 10 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Aravindreddy96. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. There are actually a few reasonable reliable sources for some of the country entries, but I hadn't realised how many were using this self-published source. For the moment, I've tagged the article for better, reliable sources so that other editors have an opportunity to find better sources. If there is no activity for a while, I'll have to start removing the unreliably sourced entries. Cheers! --Iryna Harpy (talk) 22:13, 10 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please explain then

Why is Ukrainian crisis tagged with the {{EngvarB}} template, but the {{British English}} (or similar) template is inappropriate?

They serve similar purposes. The first template is to tell bots which spelling to use for making corrections in the article and the second template is to state the spelling variety to clarify to viewers on the talk page. Thanks, --Finlayson (talk) 19:54, 14 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Fnlayson: I've just left a note on this on your talk page. I hope it's clarified matters. EngvarB is not the same as British English, and there is no corresponding 'variant' template for tagging the talk page. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 20:01, 14 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I saw your note, thanks. Just wanted to fix that template above to clean-up. --Finlayson (talk) 20:03, 14 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This is to inform you that an attempt is being made to overturn an RfC that you voted on

This is to inform you that an attempt is being made to overturn an RfC that you voted on (2 RfCs, actually, one less than six months ago and another a year ago). The new RfC is at:

Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)#RfC: Allow private schools to be characterized as non-affiliated as well as religious, in infobox?

Specifically, it asks that "religion = none" be allowed in the infobox.

The first RfC that this new RfC is trying to overturn is:

The result of that RfC was "unambiguously in favour of omitting the parameter altogether for 'none' " and despite the RfC title, additionally found that "There's no obvious reason why this would not apply to historical or fictional characters, institutions etc.", and that nonreligions listed in the religion entry should be removed when found "in any article".

The second RfC that this new RfC is trying to overturn is:

The result of that RfC was that the "in all Wikipedia articles, without exception, nonreligions should not be listed in the Religion= parameter of the infobox.".

Note: I am informing everyone who commented on the above RfCs, whether they supported or opposed the final consensus. --Guy Macon (talk) 03:11, 26 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

'Overciting'

It does not make sense to say: estimates range from 5-10 (while other estimates range from 3-16). It has nothing to do with overciting, it's just not proper. Just make the range include ALL the numbers, or just leave it how it is now. ‡ Єl Cid, Єl Caɱ̩peador ᐁT₳LKᐃ 00:33, 29 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

[6] my edit was in good faith according to the user who reverted me and the user wanted to discuss, but i cannot find his responce. since you are involved(you have been editing this article and you are russia related articles) can you please explain why my edit got reverted? 83.185.80.173 (talk) 02:46, 1 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

we cannot use an outdated incorrect number with one source while there is a real correct current number with several sources, per consistency do you see any other case in wikipedia? 83.185.80.173 (talk) 02:46, 1 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
the new sources contradict the old outdated incorrect one 83.185.80.173 (talk) 02:46, 1 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
why must the old number be stuck? 83.185.80.173 (talk) 02:46, 1 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
