Discretionary sanctions alert
[edit]This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
You have shown interest in Eastern Europe or the Balkans. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.
To opt out of receiving messages like this one, place {{Ds/aware}}
on your user talk page and specify in the template the topic areas that you would like to opt out of alerts about. For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Warning about vandalism in the article "Old Rus' literature"
[edit] You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Old Rus' literature. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Points to note:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
- Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Emenrigen (talk) 07:26, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
- He is right. That is objective, not subjective. Stop promoting Russian propaganda on Wikipedia. Euglenos sandara (talk) 15:04, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

[edit] Hello, I'm GizzyCatBella. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to List of Nazi monuments in Canada have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk. Thanks. GizzyCatBella🍁 14:44, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
- Why must my talk page be full of copy paste messages? :-( -🇺🇦Слава🇺🇦Україні🇺🇦Героям🇺🇦Слава🇺🇦(talk)🇺🇦 18:26, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
- People are tending to say the same thing to you because you are tending to err in similar ways. CT55555 (talk) 18:29, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, as you did at List of Nazi monuments in Canada, you may be blocked from editing. I"m specifically talking about this edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_Nazi_monuments_in_Canada&diff=prev&oldid=1123919400&diffmode=source where you deleted a significant part of the article CT55555(talk) 12:07, 26 November 2022 (UTC)
Notice of Dispute resolution noticeboard discussion
[edit]This message is being sent to let you know of a discussion at the Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard regarding a content dispute discussion you may have participated in. Content disputes can hold up article development and make editing difficult. You are not required to participate, but you are both invited and encouraged to help this dispute come to a resolution.
Please join us to help form a consensus. Thank you!

Running multiple processes about the same article
[edit]Simultaneously launching a move request and a delete discussion about the same article is disruptive, because we cannot delete and move something, so you should have picked one. CT55555 (talk) 06:09, 24 November 2022 (UTC)
- @CT55555: I have procedurally closed the RM. As noted in my closing statement, the RM can be reopened if the article is kept after the AFD process. Alternatively, a new RM can be made after the AFD process and if the article is kept, with the contents of the old RM added. If the old RM is reopened, please revert the edit made by the RMCD bot.

Your sig
[edit]Could you please bring your signature into line with WP:SIG? It's currently disruptive as it makes it difficult to follow discussions in which you participate multiple times, such as the one at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Nazi monuments in Canada. Thanks. Beyond My Ken (talk) 18:47, 24 November 2022 (UTC)
- Specifically, WP:SIGIMAGE: Images of any kind must not be used in signatures, WP:SIGLEN: Keep signatures short, both in display and in markup, and, generally, WP:SIGAPP: Your signature must not ... annoy other editors. Thanks. Beyond My Ken (talk) 18:52, 24 November 2022 (UTC)
- Furthermore, your username itself is problematic, translating as it does to "Glory to Ukraine! Glory to the heroes!". It happens that in the current war, I, personally, am very much pro-Ukraine, but clearly your username violates WP:DISRUPTNAME: Usernames that are likely to offend other contributors, and either cause disruption to productive Wikipedia processes or discussions, or make harmonious editing difficult or impossible to achieve; e.g. by containing profanities, or referencing highly-contentious events or controversies. Rest assured that I would say precisely the same thing to a user whose name translated to "Glory to Russia" or anything similar. Beyond My Ken (talk) 18:59, 24 November 2022 (UTC)
- Finally, you should give consideration to your user page, which completely concerns your block from editing Wiktionary. Wiktionary is an entirely separate project from Wikipedia, and therefore I believe the page violates WP:UP#GOALS, in that it contains Extensive discussion not related to Wikipedia. Beyond My Ken (talk) 19:04, 24 November 2022 (UTC)
- Your username annoys me, and also your signature. Change both of them now. /s
- My user page is not hosted on Wikipedia. It’s a global user page. And I was banned in Wiktionary for block evasion when I wasn’t block evading so that is wrongful blocking, and I had to explain that in my userpage. So far my username didn’t interrupt any discussion. -🇺🇦Слава🇺🇦Україні🇺🇦Героям🇺🇦Слава🇺🇦(talk)🇺🇦 19:12, 24 November 2022 (UTC)
- Your user page appears on en.wiki, and it is therefore subject to en.wiki's rules. Do I take it that you refuse to change your username or edit your user page? Beyond My Ken (talk) 19:31, 24 November 2022 (UTC)

Sorry to barge in. I followed a link in another discussion to find this. In my opinion Slava’s sig is very attention-grabbing across the page, and it may not hurt to tone down its visual prominence after a request by another editor, with reference to the sig guidelines quoted above, to head off further argument so everyone can concentrate on improving the encyclopedia.
But I do not agree that the Ukrainian national salute in a user name is either offensive or likely to be somehow disruptive, per WP:DISRUPTNAME. It is not “containing profanities” or directly “referencing highly-contentious events or controversies.” Because there is a war in Ukraine is not a solid reason to banish the national symbols of Ukraine. —Michael Z. 20:18, 24 November 2022 (UTC)
- The pertinent part of the username policy says, in full: Usernames that are likely to offend other contributors, and either cause disruption to productive Wikipedia processes or discussions, or make harmonious editing difficult or impossible to achieve; e.g. by containing profanities, or referencing highly-contentious events or controversies. The highly contentious controversy here is, if course, the unprovoked Russian invasion of Ukraine. Since the Russian and Ukrainian languages are in large part mutually intelligible, a username which translates to "Glory to
theUkraine! Glory to the heroes!" would presumably be as offensive to Russian-speaking editors here as one in Russian which translate to "All glory to Russia's war heroes!" would be to Ukrainian speaking editors. Indeed, I would make the same complaint about usernames such as "USA is the best" or "American First!". Beyond My Ken (talk) 20:39, 24 November 2022 (UTC)- It’s not “the Ukraine.” —Michael Z. 21:00, 24 November 2022 (UTC)
- My apologies, I'm 68 and I grew up when the accepted name was "The Ukraine", a habit that's hard to break. I will correct that above. Beyond My Ken (talk) 21:27, 24 November 2022 (UTC)
- I can’t untangle any valid complaint from that logic. Why should Russians, much less “Russian speakers,” be offended by Ukraine’s national salute? —Michael Z. 21:05, 24 November 2022 (UTC)
- Balderdash, the argument is quite clear, and I don't intend to restate it or rephrase it. Beyond My Ken (talk) 21:27, 24 November 2022 (UTC)
- The US motto, by the way, is “In God We Trust.” —Michael Z. 21:11, 24 November 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you, I'm American, and I'm well aware of that. Beyond My Ken (talk) 21:27, 24 November 2022 (UTC)
- Well would a user name “In God We Trust” or “Ми покладаємось на Бога” warrant your complaint because it’s disruptive? —Michael Z. 22:18, 24 November 2022 (UTC)
- They might, if they caused disruption and offended other users. But your point is not well taken. You'd like this to be about national mottoes, but it's actually about controversy creating disruption and offending other users, a very different matter. Please keep the arguments about the violation of policy as written, not about theoretical usernames. Beyond My Ken (talk) 22:33, 24 November 2022 (UTC)
- Fair enough. The policy does say “likely to offend,” so it envisions a theoretical offendee. Frankly, I could see a Russian Zwastika being offensive to others while the Russian state is violently imposing its sovereignty over Ukrainians, and I’d have reservations about the imperial eagle. But the Ukrainian motto does not express any hostile or supremacist sentiment or anything like that. Ukraine is defending itself, and I don’t think it’s fair to suggest the existence or evidence of Ukrainian, or American, or other identity or nationality is offensive in itself. —Michael Z. 23:21, 24 November 2022 (UTC)

- Concur that the sig formatting/display is disruptive, no matter what the username happens to be. DMacks (talk) 20:28, 24 November 2022 (UTC)
- The signature is annoying and disruptive. Beyond My Ken explains the reasons why quite clearly. Change it, please. Cullen328 (talk) 21:43, 24 November 2022 (UTC)
- As we're all sharing opinions, I find the signature a bit attention grabbing and I think it's possible that any nationalism could potentially offend people, however in the contact of that exact nation being under attack from a foreign aggressor at this exact moment in time, in the context of many of us having legitimate fears for the future existence of that nation (I'm happy those fears have been proven wrong and that David pushed Goliath back), I do have more than a little sympathy. Despite our strong disagreement elsewhere, sending my best to all Ukrainians right now. CT55555 (talk) 22:12, 24 November 2022 (UTC)
- I entirely concur with your thoughts about Ukraine, but Wikipedia is not the place to showcase one's nationalism, even under those circumstances. Beyond My Ken (talk) 22:39, 24 November 2022 (UTC)
- There isn’t a ban on sigs that identify an editor’s country or nationality, is there? —Michael Z. 23:23, 24 November 2022 (UTC)
- Of course not, Mzajac, but that is a straw man argument. When a signature contains six, count 'em, six copies of the country's flag with a gigantic swath of yellow splashed over the ringingly nationalistic slogan, then that is annoying and impedes wide collaboration among editors. Personally, I side with Ukraine over Russia in this war, but the Neutral point of view is a core content policy that applies everywhere on this encyclopedia, and flamboyant, attention grabbing nationalist signatures are disruptive. I remember a few editors with similar signatures boosting other nationalistic causes who ended up blocked or topic banned because the underlying sentiment is not compatible with the NPOV policy.

- Side comment: Okay guys, let's not have a full discussion here. I'm afraid that the user may receive a lot of notifications, and that can be potentially disruptive. Thanks, Wikiexplorationandhelping (talk) 22:29, 24 November 2022 (UTC)
- Why would a discussion about a user's name and signature not take place on the user's talk page? And whether the user receives 5 notifications or 50, there's no "disruption", it's just an icon at the top of the page. Beyond My Ken (talk) 22:36, 24 November 2022 (UTC)
- Oh okay, I was just a little concerned about the notifications. Wikiexplorationandhelping (talk) 23:08, 24 November 2022 (UTC)

Extended-confirmed restrictions
[edit]Hi Slava Ukraini Heroyam Slava 123,
you are currently prohibited from editing about the Russo-Ukrainian War. This is because you have not yet made 500 edits to the English Wikipedia. Details and exceptions can be found at WP:GS/RUSUKR.
Just to make sure it has been said, similar restrictions apply to the Arab-Israeli conflict (WP:A/I/PIA).
I have prevented your global user page from being displayed for now as it violates the restrictions.
Best regards,

[edit]Reminder to administrators: Community sanctions are enacted by community consensus. In order to overturn this block, you must either receive the approval of the blocking administrator or consensus at a community noticeboard (you may need to copy and paste their statement to a community noticeboard).
A new account was created to continue the same disruptive editing: User:Slava Ukrajini Heroyam Slava. They disclosed this is their old account but they are indeffed anyway so the account should be blocked. If someone could take care of this otherwise I will submit a report when I have time, thanks.

- @Mellk Just wonder, that whether there's possible that this user can be blocked on one more WMF project? So that at least one condition for global ban nomination can meet. Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 11:26, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
- Sorry, I am not familiar with this. Perhaps an administrator here knows about this. @Ymblanter: can you help? Mellk (talk) 11:39, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
- No, they are not blocked anywhere else, and for a global ban it is not sufficient that a user is blocked on two project, the user really has to piss off everybody. At his point, I do not see a global ban happening. Ymblanter (talk) 12:48, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
