Спасибо, что поправили перевод. Vyacheslav84 (talk) 12:57, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

Не за что.--Ymblanter (talk) 13:12, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

The map is obviously replaceable, I think it is pretty much obvious.--Ymblanter (talk) 20:39, 6 March 2013 (UTC) Проблема в том, что контур и фон имеют очень малое значение в карте. Суть карты в спец. знаках и их взаимном расположении. Сами понимаете, что при перерисовке карты их придется переносить точь в точь с оригинала. Т.е. АП на сами знаки и их расположение не исчезнет. В таких условиях нет смысла менять контур и фон карты. А без спец. знаков эта карта никому не нужна. Т.е. суть карты останется защищена АП. Vyacheslav84 (talk) 13:54, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

Ничего там не защищено, это фактическая информация. Берёте свободный контур Калининградской области, в нужные знаки расставляете какие хотите логотипы (хоть разноцветные крестики, хоть чёрные силуэты), и карта готова. Точность до миллиметра в ней не нужна. Никаких перспектив у настоящей карты для КДИ нет в принципе, удалят, как только срок выйдет. О чём, собственно, Стефан Вам сразу и сказал.--Ymblanter (talk) 15:17, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

Admin?

Hi there. I've taken a look through your edits and you seem to be a down to earth editor willing to help out where needed, with article writing being your forte. As a result, I was wondering if you've considered running for adminship at RFA. I'd be willing to nominate you if you were up for it. Wizardman 04:36, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

Good, once this list was created I knew at some point someone would show up on my talk page and ask whether I would be interested to run. Still, I am really pleased I was one of the first ones to approach, thanks for approaching me. Let us do it. I want to ask two other users to be (co)-nominators; I actually do not particularly care who would be the main nominator. User:Ezhiki is reading my talk page and already volunteered to nominate me in the past, and the second prospective co-nominator I need to contact. Let me create the RfA page first and then see what would be the best way to proceed. I will be travelling over Easter, so that it would be good to have this RfA in the air this week if possible.--Ymblanter (talk) 08:06, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
Oh, now I see that the RfA page must be created by the nominator. I would much appreciate if you create it, then I can make my statement and answer the questions.--Ymblanter (talk) 09:20, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
User:WereSpielChequers agreed to be a (co)-nominator but said it would take time.--Ymblanter (talk) 11:46, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
Sounds good to me. I'll write up my nom tonight and post it here, we can then wait for the co-noms. Wizardman 02:27, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
Great, thanks. There is no hurry.--Ymblanter (talk) 06:25, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
Great news. Misplaced Pages needs admins like Ymblanter. Azylber (talk) 11:13, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
Wizardman would like to nominate you to become an administrator. Please visit Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship to see what this process entails, and then contact Wizardman to accept or decline the nomination. A page has been created for your nomination at Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship/Ymblanter. If you accept the nomination, you must state and sign your acceptance. You may also choose to make a statement and/or answer the optional questions to supplement the information your nominator has given. Once you are satisfied with the page, you may post your nomination for discussion, or request that your nominator do so.
Thanks, will do tonight.--Ymblanter (talk) 16:15, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
I've added my co-nomination. Good luck!—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); March 14, 2013; 17:11 (UTC)
Thanks. I will come back when I am ready with my statement.--Ymblanter (talk) 17:15, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
I am done with the statement and the question, now waiting for WCS.--Ymblanter (talk) 20:48, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
Now everything seems to be done, I am going to transclude the nomination in the (European) morning. Please feel free to modify before that if needed.--Ymblanter (talk) 21:03, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

? Vyacheslav84 (talk) 07:32, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

I am not sure what you want to know. If the question concerns the same map we already discussed four times, then the locations of the bases are not protected by copyright, and this is up to you to select the symbols you want to use to designate these locations. Note this is the fifth time I have to explain this to you, with so far the same result.--Ymblanter (talk) 07:53, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
I nominated this image for speedy deletion since it is an exact dupe of the image on Commons. If you had something else in mind by uploading it please let me know.--Ymblanter (talk) 08:08, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

1. Нет это не про военные карты, а про топокарту пещеры. Ну в общем я хочу убедится в том, свободное оно или нет. И для этой цели разместил и здесь и на викискладе. Если оставят, значит я правило викисклада правильно толкую. Ну и на всякий случай скопировал и туда и сюда, чтобы получить двойное потверждение. А к вам я обратился в том смысле, что она ведь в ОД по приведенному мной правилу? Ну и я не уверен, что в файле шаблон ОД стоит той разновидности, что надо (ведь есть несколько разновидностей шаблона ОД?). Vyacheslav84 (talk) 09:21, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

Да, по-моему, ОД, но если у Вас есть сомнения, спросите на Коммонз: там достаточно экспертов по копирайту.--Ymblanter (talk) 09:23, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
Спасибо за ответ, а лучше обратиться на русскоязычный форум викисклада или английский? Vyacheslav84 (talk) 09:26, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
Если можете, лучше на английский. Если Вы не уверены в том, что Вас поймут (здесь были существенные языковые проблемы), лучше на русский.--Ymblanter (talk) 09:29, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

Jozef van Wissem

So you will not give a warning to Jozefvanwissem (talk · contribs · count)? 124.85.188.112 (talk) 12:26, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

I am not really happy with the fact that you, instead of addressing the issue of edit-warring (where you with five reverts have advanced more that any of your opponents) insist that I warn one of your opponents. This looks like wikilawyering to me. Would you please start discussion at the talk page.--Ymblanter (talk) 12:32, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
Well, I've already started discussion at the talk page. Please feel free to join us there. 124.85.188.112 (talk) 12:45, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for the expansion. article came out nice. Can we put it up for DYK?Proudbolsahye (talk) 18:22, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

No problem. DYK is not really my speciality, I guess one needs a native speaker for putting a hook etc, I was never able to do it properly.--Ymblanter (talk) 18:37, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

(General idea of the thread: Discussing copyediting of the article and how it could be improved).--Ymblanter (talk) 16:54, 17 March 2013 (UTC) Здравствуйте. Вы не могли бы в знак прошлых враждебных отношений проверить my English. Thank you. А то Ежики сегодня на отдыхе. Lawrentia (talk) 15:43, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

Сейчас сделаю. No problem.--Ymblanter (talk) 15:48, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

Ой, Славочка, я еще забыла, а это наверняка важно: его дед был академиком. Carl Gabliz became academician of the Petersburg Academy of Sciences. То есть семья вполне приличная, правильно выбрал, где родиться, это же важно. И дедушку, наверно, тоже надо в квадратные скобки. В русских источниках он есть. Спасибо. --Lawrentia (talk) 16:44, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

Спасибо, сейчас добавлю.--Ymblanter (talk) 16:45, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

Я тоже только сейчас увидела, что дала неправильный спеллинг. Прошу прощения. Спасибо. Хоть что-то приличное стало. О такой персоналии нигде нет приличной статьи, сейчас во Франц. сделаю. То, что в РуВи - это я даже говорить не могу. Спасибо еще раз. Lawrentia (talk) 16:52, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

Не за что. Хорошо бы ещё ссылки в текст расставить, если у Вас под рукой.--Ymblanter (talk) 16:54, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

Хорошо, ссылки подберу. Они есть, конечно. --Lawrentia (talk) 17:08, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

    • Извините, пожалуйста, что я вас все время отвлекаю. Вы не посмотрите еще раз. Я поставила ссылки, но они все русские, я поставила так: ru: и - дальше название ссылки на русском языке. Спасибо. Извините еще раз. Lawrentia (talk) 17:30, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

Я нашла портрет Габлица - деда: http://www.balaklawa.com.ua/66.html - если нужно. --Lawrentia (talk) 19:12, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

Боюсь, пока мы не знаем, кто автор, использовать нельзя. Фотографии-то ещё не было, в лучшем случае переснятая картина, в худшем - фейк.--Ymblanter (talk) 19:19, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

Наверняка картина. Так тогда рисовали портреты. А лицо значимое - наверняка заказывали портрет. Но вот кто художник, не нашла. --Lawrentia (talk) 19:24, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

А это фото картины. Вообще-то я думаю, что это внук. Если сравнить с другими портретами Серова. Они, конечно, должны быть похожи, но не до такой степени. Кто-то не шибко грамотный увидел портрет Серова, а в книгах наверняка писалась биография начиная от деда - и решил, что это портрет деда - так и пошло. Все же переписывают друг у друга. Lawrentia (talk) 22:25, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

    • Спасибо за помощь, я уже видела. Симфонизм - это не только русское слово, оно стало международным. Серов, естественно, произнес его по-русски, но слово вышло из русского языка, став международным термином. Lawrentia (talk) 16:12, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
      Хорошо, сейчас поправлю.--Ymblanter (talk) 16:35, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

Спасибо. Извините, что я вас так использовала. Мой английский такой, что на бытовом уровне мою примитивную мысль донести можно, но для написания статей литературным языком – явно не тянет. Я надеюсь, что перемирие произошло, а было просто недопонимание - в старые времена в родной стороне. Lawrentia (talk) 17:28, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

You show no previous edit history in the Varangians, Rus' people and Rurikid dynasty articles, before edit war

User Ymblanter: You show no previous edit history in the Varangians, Rus' people and Rurikid dynasty articles, before the revert war waged by user Thomas.W (same as Alterman ?). Hopefully, you are not him - are you? Calling friends for help or creating more accounts is inappropriate way to try reaching consensus in Misplaced Pages. - - RasboKaren (talk) 21:20, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

This is actually not correct, I do have previous edit history, pls check carefully. But if you want to be reported on AVI by somebody else for edit warring - fine with me.--Ymblanter (talk) 21:30, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

Нет, это не является основанием. Можете попробовать через WP:AFC, дав там ссылку на обсуждение удаления, но, учитывая, что обсуждение закончилось три недели назад, шансов, на мой взгляд, нет.--Ymblanter (talk) 09:06, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

You mean to say that now that you are an en.wp admin that we are going to lose you over on Commons? If I had of known this, I would never have supported you here ;) Russavia (talk) 20:52, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
No, not to that point, but my understanding is that if I agree to be an admin I also commit some of my time to doing admin work. I need some time to figure out whether I can commit it at this point. I am still on Commons several times per day doing some maintenance, uploading files and checking my watchlist.--Ymblanter (talk) 20:56, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
Of course, you know that enwp and Commons are quite different in that our expectations are miles apart -- for example, we would never put you through the Spanish Inquisition you have just undergone; plus we only expect admins to do a dozen admin edits every half a year -- I reckon you could do that as part of your normal maintenance work. Anyway, great to see you will keep it in mind - we need more guys like you on board over there. Cheers, Russavia (talk) 21:13, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
Jeah, I will try to not repeat of my errors I have done in the Russian Misplaced Pages and will try not to overwork (as promised in my questions); this guarantees I will still be on board in a few months.--Ymblanter (talk) 21:18, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

DYK for Dolores Zohrab Liebmann

Updated DYK queryOn 22 March 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Dolores Zohrab Liebmann, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that philanthropist Dolores Zohrab Liebmann (pictured) was deeply affected by witnessing the arrest and then murder of her father Krikor Zohrab in the Armenian Genocide? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Dolores Zohrab Liebmann. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

If you find a common name being reported at WP:UAA/BOT (as, aparently, Semenyuk is), please add the name to the whitelist linked to at the top. This will prevnet future usernames whith these same parts from being reported. (For example, usernames containing "Ashkenazi" won't be reorted despite containing "nazi", since ashkenazi is on the list). עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 11:05, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

From the Puppy

Congratulations. Here are what pass for words of wisdom from the puppy:

  1. Remember you will always protect the wrong version.
  2. Remember you must always follow the rules, except for when you ignore them. You will always pick the wrong one to do. (See #5)
  3. Remember to assume good faith and not bite. Remember that when you are applying these principles most diligently, you are probably dealing with a troll.
  4. Use the block ability sparingly. Enjoy the insults you receive when you do block.
  5. Remember when you make these errors, someone will be more than happy to point them out to you in dazzling clarity and descriptive terminology.
  6. and finally, Remember to contact me if you ever need assistance, and I will do what I am able.

Это совсем

- я конечно не в курсе порядков англвики, но удаление целого куска текста с аи в рувики приравняли бы к вандализму. Обращаю Ваше внимание на эту правку, раз я не вполне владею языком, а вы активны в англвике. Vyacheslav84 (talk) 17:37, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

First of all, here is not Russian Misplaced Pages where the people routinely call for sysops on any occasion instead of solving a content dispute in the established way. You might ask at talk: Electrically powered spacecraft propulsion (because Ymblanter is not a directly involved person), and ask in English. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 18:26, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

I am afraid we have a problem here. None of the text you added is supported by any sources, and I was not able to find the sources myself by searching for five minutes. If you used a book please add the book, it is ok. But if there are no sources at all I do not see how this material can stay in the article.--Ymblanter (talk) 07:34, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

Слава, спасибо вам большое, что вы потратили столько времени на меня. Это особо приятно после всех наших недопонятностей. Я – по-русски, мне так легче. Я просмотрела еще раз ссылки. Я поняла, в чем дело. После моей статьи в другом проекте (я поняла, у вас там свои какие-то отношения, но тут все больше занимаются отношениями друг с другом, нежели делом) – а в балетных сайтах мои статьи уже давно изучаются и на них ставятся ссылки – я много видела, - и люди в этих сайтах удалили текст с явным советским пасквилем – т.е. в самих книгах-энциклопедиях он наверняка еще есть, и какие-то ЖЖ, LJ и т.д. сканируют статьи оттуда – и там все это так и стоит, пример: самый конец: http://vivien-m.livejournal.com/69901.html и http://fotki.yandex.ru/users/vio379/view/404657/?page=0 – это как раз скан или перепечатка того что было. В сайте Балетной энциклопедии еще так и стоит, что она уехала в Париж в 1926 году. Но в 2009 году в Питере вышла книга весьма небольшим тиражом: Новые исследования и материалы / Сост. Н. Л. Дунаева. Спб. Балтийские сезоны. 2009—312 с. ISNB 978-5-903368-45-0. Мне ее оттуда и перекинули. Но сейчас у меня ее нет. Это сборник статей по документам касаемо русского балета. Там есть статья: Мария Мариусовна Петипа. Пунктир судьбы. Автор: Н. Л. Дунаева. И вот в ней приведена масса документов. В том числе про советские газеты, обвинившие ее в предательстве родины, что она уехала в 1926 году и перевела во Францию всю свою пенсию, которую ей особым распоряжением выдало Советское правительство + за то, что она дочь своего отца (уже странно: страна была в разрухе, императорские пенсии не выплачивались, а вот ей, видите ли, выдали еще и за отца; да еще каким-то образом позволили перевести деньги в другую вражескую страну). Так вот: статья из книги дает документы, что она писала письма о вспомоществовании во все советские наркоматы до 1927 года, последнее письмо подписано 1927 годом. Вот из этого автор делает вывод, что уехала старая дама (1857 года рождения) в 1928 году (а никак не в 1926). Там же приводятся слова критика-эмигранта Светлова, что она жила крайне одиноко, бедно и тихо. Зарабатывать она не могла по возрасту, но на какие-то крошечные деньги как-то существовала. И шуму понаделало только сообщение о ее смерти – выдающаяся балерина, которую знал весь Петербург. Тогда и вспомнили, а многие русские эмигранты и не знали, что она тоже в Париже – настолько тихо и тяжело жила. Теперь по самой нашей статье. В источниках балетной энциклопедии действительно удалены пасквильные фразы из советских газет. Они были. Можете мне поверить. И кто-то их оттуда еще берет и повторяет. Но как это всё сказать в статье – я тут без вас и Ёжиков не справлюсь. Lawrentia (talk) 13:14, 27 March 2013 (UTC) Спасибо еще раз. Я, правда, очень тронута вашей помощью. --Lawrentia (talk) 13:14, 27 March 2013 (UTC) P.S. Мне кажется, что такая информация должна быть. Спасибо. --Lawrentia (talk) 13:14, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

Ну так расставьте ссылки на эту статью Дунаевой, и проблем не будет. Касательно того абзаца, что я убрал - мне кажется, было бы довольно странно писать, что что-то, на что у нас нет источников, опровергается чем-то другим, на что у нас тоже нет источников, тем более, если к самой персоне это имеет крайне отдалённое отношение. Но, если Вы считаете, что это очень важно и обязательно должно быть в статье - хорошо, но там тоже потребуются ссылки. ЖЖ в качестве источников в любом случае не пойдёт, разве что у Дунаевой есть свой блог, и она там выложила эту статью - но тогда бы я её поиском сразу и нашёл.--Ymblanter (talk) 13:22, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
  • Я чего-то делаю не так: у меня не проставляется ссылка на книгу - она как раз под все вопросы. А компьютер в ответ ругается на английском языке и не ставит ссылку. Спасибо. --Lawrentia (talk) 14:20, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
    По всей видимости, она выложена на каком-то сайте, который стоит в блэклисте. Поставьте просто на печатное издание. Или Вы это и делаете?--Ymblanter (talk) 16:19, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
    А, вижу, уже разобрались, пока меня не было.--Ymblanter (talk) 16:21, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

Altaic languages Needs Admin Help

Hi Ymblanter,

I'm the one who started this thread on the Altaic languages article:

http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents#Altaic_languages_Warring

Unfortunately nothing actually got resolved.

The whole point is that good editors can't do anything at the article because there's a gang controlling it. They just refuse to provide any references and edit-war the article to their liking.

Also your referral to "Fringe Theories" is not quite right — their position is scientific, just not a very widely-accepted one, and they're trying to dominate the article with it.

The article also got locked in the bad version for a week to make matters worse.

Misplaced Pages (not me, dying to wash my hands of this) needs an admin to give some attention to a blatantly distortionary, kidnapped, article:

  • Minimum -- "controversial subject" banner across the top that only admins can remove (hopefully says "Reason: Inclusion of Korean and Japanese in Altaic not widely accepted")
  • More -- review my NPOV version with me, compare to sources, touch up, super-lock, ban evil editors.
  • Most -- go through lengthy "moderator" process in the article's Talk section.

Sorry to bother you personally, but you're the one who closed the Admin Noticeboard thread, and I'm finding a distinct lack of official process for pursuing this necessary pursuit further. I see you're a new admin. If there's another admin I should talk to just let me know.

Misplaced Pages Thanks You — 98.180.19.232 (talk) 11:38, 7 April 2013 (UTC)AltaicNPOV

This is a content dispute, and admins have nothing to say in content disputes, not more than any other editors. This is why ANI discussion became useless after the page got protected. We can only perform administrative actions such as blocking or page protection, but we can not really decide on content. I see that there is discussion going on the talk page, and let it go on until consensus is found. Btw I would appreciate if you stop evading your block.--Ymblanter (talk) 11:42, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

But the point is they are violating the basic Misplaced Pages content principal by writing an article without references to back it up. What if a gang of creationists takes over a human evolution article and re-writes it to say Darwin is a former theory now proven wrong — without any references. Every time someone tries to correct this, they reverse it. There are more of them than the editors trying to fix the article, so the good editors get banned for "edit warring". The article is giving blatantly distorted information to the public, and any admin can see this. I know that admins very much do get involved in "content" for biographies of living people.

Is there some higher level of appeal for article issues, above the Admin Noticeboard? I'm aware of the major dispute resolution process where the Misplaced Pages board gets involved, but hope I don't have to go that far!

Thanks, 98.180.19.232 (talk) 12:28, 7 April 2013 (UTC)AltaicNPOV

Also I'm pretty sure I've seen "Controversial Subject" banners that only admins can remove (?). — 98.180.19.232 (talk) 12:36, 7 April 2013 (UTC)AltaicNPOV
You could try Misplaced Pages:Dispute resolution noticeboard, but not before the talk page discussion gets stale.--Ymblanter (talk) 13:51, 7 April 2013 (UTC)


Thank you! Just a comment that it would have been good to have gotten referred to Dispute Resolution (or to Formal Mediation and Arbitration which I'm also now finding) when I first posted the issue to the Admin Noticeboard — if nothing could actually be done to help there.

It's been a very lengthy and unpleasant experience trying to deal with this, and few other people would go through the trouble — especially not for a problem article they just noticed in passing while browsing around Misplaced Pages! Which leaves all those gang-controlled distorted Misplaced Pages articles up.

Can you personally undo the block on the User:AltaicNPOV account, or make a request to someone in charge of that, vouching for me — you know I'm only trying to be constructive here on Misplaced Pages, but this is time-consuming and difficult to explain and document.

And I'm finding illogical/arbitrary/unexplained admin behavior, with no appeal, and further arbitrary blocking preventing appeals, to be the norm in this Franz Kafka story... I mean this process of dealing with Misplaced Pages administration. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.180.13.177 (talk) 15:56, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

No, I am sorry, I promised not to deal with blocks on my RFA. The easies is to sit out the block and then act. Or otherwise to ask to be unblocked at the talk page of your main account.--Ymblanter (talk) 16:04, 7 April 2013 (UTC)
Some mad vindictive admin has blocked that account for eternity. Do you have any admin friends who might be able to help? I'm doing none of this for myself you know, and the article actually is a distortion (as you mention in your referral to Fringe Theories) — that in addition to me every other Wikipedian who becomes aware of this should be trying to do something about. Could you maybe bring the issue to a private admin discussion area, refer it to your "supervisor" (?!), etc.?
It's really a problem as otherwise I'll have to wait a while and come back with a new account, can't cite my previous efforts etc. Looking like I'll just drop the issue. Leaving a bad article up permanently. It's the lack of enthusiasm to prevent that which is so mystifying me about admins. Why volunteer for Misplaced Pages if you aren't passionate about Misplaced Pages articles? Yes, I'm getting around to asking if you might like to take on dealing with reforming the Altaic Languages article yourself so I can go on with my life :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.180.13.177 (talk) 16:32, 7 April 2013 (UTC)
I do not have friends, and as a matter of principle I am not on IRC or whatever. Please post an unblock notice on your talk page.--Ymblanter (talk) 16:41, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

Yeah I'll try that... maybe. Not quite convinced you couldn't do something with the article block and/or a "controversial" banner, but thanks anyway for discussing the matter. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.180.13.177 (talk) 17:14, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

Pruning the list of seas...

Hi there Ymblanter, good to meet you. I think we will need to work further on the list of seas (which just makes clear the weaknesses of the list that was there before, I didn't add any seas to it).

Deletion review for Malana Lea

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Malana Lea. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review.

I wish to appeal the closure of the debate. Someone pulled notability inheritance idea completely out of the blue and did not debate the "Merge" response I presented to counter the notablility is not inherited "charge". The broken links and long list of movies and TV appearances were also not commented on by random editors who wrote "Delete". Step one is to debate with you. Then I would like to move on to the formal process. Jok2000 (talk) 18:54, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

Since I do not see how I ave broken the policy, the editors who voted were not SPAs, and you were the only one to oppose (though indeed a very vocal one), we better move straight to the formal process. I would not object creating a redirect though.--Ymblanter (talk) 18:58, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
I believe the error made is that you think the page "Elizabeth Tsing" exists. It does not, this would be the first page for this actor. Jok2000 (talk) 19:01, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
Well additionally, I was not vocal, but rather presented answers to all of the irrelevant bureaucratic process thrown at the discussion, which standing unchallenged, is proof the answers were enough to end debate against what I wrote. Jok2000 (talk) 19:03, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
I checked that the page does not exist before closing the debate. You gave some answers indeed, I just did not find them convincing. Sorry.--Ymblanter (talk) 19:33, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
You did not participate in the debate. So the policy error is that if you did not wish to participate, you should have ruled "no-consensus" based on the existing debate, which was actually a collection of citations, not an argument per se. Jok2000 (talk) 20:21, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
There was consensus for deletion. Please note that in discussion with me this is already the third argument out of the blue, after I rejected the first two as not based on the policies, one of them was assuming smth what I was thinking. I suggest that you stop bringing new arguments here and concentrate on the deletion review instead.--Ymblanter (talk) 20:58, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
Is there any purpose to this suggestion? I would think that if you're closing AfDs without following policy, you would want to find out about it here where you can eventually delete hopefully helpful insight into your thought processes. Jok2000 (talk) 21:30, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

Crank hunt

Good morning, Yaroslav! You apparently have more experience how to cope with cranks, especially nationalists. Could you give an advice what to do with 50.73.253.49 (talk · contribs) after ? It is a current incarnation of the person identified as Alexazulian pusher. Should I continue the Special:Contributions pursuit and rollback all his/her rubbish? Or blocks to this (and possibly other) his/her IPs may already be tried? Incnis Mrsi (talk) 08:59, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

I gave them the last warning, next edit from this IP like this will result in a block (if you see it, you can just directly go to my talk page). This seems to be a stationary IP, and all the contributions have been already rolled back (exceppt for the two, which seem to be more or less constructive). If there are other IPs recently edited with the same pattern, yes, I think the contributions should be rolled back with a simultaneous warning on the IP talk pages (there is a very small chance that they belong to different people - though I do not see how they could be unrelated - provided they exist).--Ymblanter (talk) 09:10, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

What to do ?

You wrote that we (who edited the text about A.A. Karatsuba) must come to consensus with Stevenj. However, he do not want any consensus on any conditions excluding his own text in three lines, one of them is very offensive for A.A. Karatsuba (everybody who knows about real facts can confirm it). What to do? Our discussion with him turned out to absurd because he pretends he does not see our sources (published by Springer papers in mathjournals), but as his sources quoted words of "notalble people" (by his opinion) but not publications. We agree (see Talk page Anatolii Alexeevitch Karatsuba) to delete such claims in this article which very annoyed Stevenj (although they are right, and all explanations have been made to Stevenj, he rejected them bacause it doesn't correspond to some other Misplaced Pages texts which Stevenj created himself!). So we tried to state such a consensus deleting what Stevenj stated as "exaggerated claims". However, it is not enough for him. He simple don't want that any good text about A.A. Karatsuba would be. I will not mention "double standards": I edited some other Misplaced Pages texts about American mathematicians and never had problems like that with this paper about Russian mathematician. How to revert the former text and to block Stevenj who has his own not related to the Misplaced Pages grounds to del to delete the text about A.A. Karatsuba?Mathtruth (talk) 10:34, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

I think it is pretty much possible to come to consensus. You just need to stop concentrating on the personality of Karatsuba (remember, he was presumably your thesis advisor which in Russia means kind of semi-god, but other people do not have to regard him as semi-god) and instead see on what points you agree, and whether any of the points you disagree on is really essential for the article. Actually, I expect Steven, who is a more experienced Wikipedian, to come with this initiative. Then you can start together working on the text. If it turns out to be absolutely impossible, you can file a WP:DRN request. I am personally not a computer scientist, and I can not (and do not want to) really judge on the validity of the arguments.--Ymblanter (talk) 11:46, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

Mediterranean scene

I noticed you decided to delete the page. I'm not an avid wikipedia user so I've seen that only now. I posted all the links to scans of the sources of that article here: User talk:Blackmetalbaz#Mediterranean scene. Der Blutsauger (talk) 01:06, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

You can try to recreate the article; if the resulting recreation is significantly different from the previous article, it will not be amenable for speedy deletion. However, among all your sources I only see one which specifically mentions Mediterranean scene; all others talk about bands which make parts of it. It might be a better idea to write about these bands, because in my opinion the notability of Mediterranean scene is still unclear.--Ymblanter (talk) 07:02, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
If the bands are notable how can the collective not be notable? They have an unique style (referenced in a lot of magazines) and so they're notable for WP:MUSIC #1 and #7.

I'm not really an expert, how much the recreation had to be different from the previous article? The previous article had all the references (and I hosted them for you to see) to be notable under WP:MUSIC #1 and #7 and I cannot keep them on my hosting, so what I need to add? Der Blutsauger (talk) 18:44, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

References to paper editions should be fine. The previous version in my opinion was really very short of norability, as the AfD discussion showed, so that the new one must demonstrate the notability better. If individual groups are notable, this does not yet mean that the collective is notable - it should receive sufficient press coverage as collective.--Ymblanter (talk) 18:46, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
I really have to rewritten everything from scratch? I can't recover the last version and improve on that? Originally I decided to write only one page for all the bands of this collective because they play in the same style (more or less), they have the same members and they act as an unique band with different monickers.

Der Blutsauger (talk) 19:04, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

I can restore the deleted version to your userspace, if you want. (Please do not upload files, at least until you really know how to do it).--Ymblanter (talk) 19:13, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

The info on the files is here. If he grants permission, he really should understand that he dos not just give permission for you to upload, he gives permission for everybody to use the logos for free, including commercial usage and all possible modifications. This is why OTRS is needed. Concerning the article, I will restore it now.--Ymblanter (talk) 20:03, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

No problem. The file is on Commons, and it is best to reopen your deletion request there. I am not a Commons administrator.--Ymblanter (talk) 18:11, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Sanaullah Haq

How did you arrive at the conclusion of no consensus here? Given the majority of keep votes were not even grounded in policy? Also the keep vote by 86.99.140.141 is a sock of Nangparbat, someone moved the strike to an IP above. Darkness Shines (talk) 14:16, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

There was a considerable amount of votes from users in good standing saying NOEVENT does not apply. You are welcome to take it for the deletion review of course.--Ymblanter (talk) 16:58, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
Yes, there were editors saying oneevent did not apply, but they were obviously wrong as the guy is known only for one event. Somebody saying something does not make it so. If you look on GNews you can see he is only known for this one event, getting shivved in prison. Darkness Shines (talk) 17:11, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
You have already made this argument on the AfD page, and I took it into account. If I agreed with you, I would close it as delete. If you are not happy with my decision, please take it to the deletion review.--Ymblanter (talk) 17:18, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
Fair enough, should I give you the link when I do? Darkness Shines (talk) 17:37, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
Never mind, I will find it myself. Thanks.--Ymblanter (talk) 18:10, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
"If I agreed with you, I would close it as delete." - exactly what part of Darkness Shines' comment is not agreeable? Can you please explain? This terror-convict was a nobody till his murder and then suddenly his sole claim to notability becomes his death how much more blatant does it need to get? Mr T 07:04, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
the deletion review request is open, please comment there. Thank you.--Ymblanter (talk) 18:11, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

AN/I notice

Hello. There is currently a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. I'm sending this to you because I mentioned your name. Sorry, I accidentally put this notice on your user page instead of your talk page, but thank goodness another editor noticed my mistake. Haha. Well, here it is again... in the right place this time. Thanks. --76.189.109.155 (talk) 05:24, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

Your Wikidata and hewiki problems (mentioned in a high-profile RfC)

Can you give me links to them? Maybe I can give you a hand. StevenJ81 (talk) 22:23, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. That was a couple of months ago, somebody hinted at it on Wikidata, and I found it by search. I do not think I will be able to find it again, and, frankly, I got tired of the discussion at d:Talk:Q1218 and let them write what they want. Thanks again.--Ymblanter (talk) 06:52, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
I found that one myself. Emotionally and religiously, I'm on their side, but that's not the issue at Misplaced Pages/Wikidata. I think you handled yourself very well there. If the discussion flares up again at hewiki, let me know. My Hebrew is ok, not great, but I'll help if I can. StevenJ81 (talk) 13:17, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
Good, thank you very much for your help.--Ymblanter (talk) 13:20, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

User talk:68.50.128.91

I saw your comment at User talk:68.50.128.91. For future reference, it is possible to embed blocking reasons, duration of the block, and even your signature within the block notice template itself. Here's the code to use:

{{subst:UW-Block|time=Duration|reason=For a custom block reason|page=Targeted page|sig=yes}}

Wasn't sure if you already knew about that or not ... sorry for making an assumption if you already knew the format to do it. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 16:20, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. I know about this, it is just that I usually prefer to use custom text notices, because they are easier understood. (Not only for blocks, but also for different notifications). I added the template because it contains the unblock template, which can be copied and pasted from there. I did not realize that this kind of presentation can be abused as well.--Ymblanter (talk) 16:25, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

A beer for you!

Your inappropriate block

Your block of 68.50.128.91 was a clear violation of WP:INVOLVED. You reverted him at 15:00, and then at 15:39 you blocked him. And it doesn't matter one bit whether your revert was warranted or not. And then to add fuel to the fire, you removed his talk page access at 16:09. While you and some of the other admins involved in the block have tried to hide the fact that there is a blue code among you, anyone can look at your and their edit histories to find the truth. Although IP 68 made some inappropriate edits, and perhaps deserved the blocks he received, they were done in a rude, perhaps even malicious, manner with not one ounce of respect shown to him. You are an admin and there will always be problematic editors, but if you don't have a thick enough skin to deal with them in a calm, reasoned and fair manner, then you should turn in your tools. Especially if you are going to blatantly disregard policy, which you also did when you previously sanctioned him simply for removing warnings, which is perfectly allowed per WP:BLANKING. I would also suggest that you listen to the good advice given to you by another admin who told you to include any comments you have about the block in the block template, which you have failed to do. Instead, you choose to separate comments, like this one with a very immature edit summary intended to taunt and humiliate the blocked editor. And I should mention that IP 68 is extremely tame compared to many other editors I've come across, whose treatment by admins has been much less severe and hostile. And, by the way, the removal by one of your fellow admins of my comment on IP 68's talk page right after the block was a blatant and atrocious violation of TP policy, which was only exceeded in outrageousness by the protecting of the page at the same time because of my post. Violating clear policy to censor editors is disgusting. There was absolutely no justification for either of those moves. The Blue Code is alive and well on Misplaced Pages. So sad, because there are so many great admins and the few, like some of you involved in this situation, give them all a bad name with so many editors. Already, I've seen several discussion among editors who are fully aware of your actions and those of the other admins in IP 68's block. I can tell you that it's doing no favors for your reputations. I have no doubt that you will either hide this, gossip about it with other admins, deny that your are offended by it, try to convince everyone how off-base I am by trying to smear me, etc., and that's totally fine. The point is that you're getting the message. And it's now officially on record. And anyone who's interested can read this discussion on the talk page of my friend, admin Drmies. --76.189.109.155 (talk) 12:18, 25 May 2013 (UTC)

I disagree with your assessment of the situation.--Ymblanter (talk) 12:26, 25 May 2013 (UTC)

Donguz Formation

Hi Ymblanter! Donguz Formation was recently created and could use a couple of edits so it doesn't get speedy deleted. Do you have time to look at some Russian sources? --Tobias1984 (talk) 07:13, 27 May 2013 (UTC)

I will have a look, but this is clearly not speedy deletion material. Added to the watchlist just in case.--Ymblanter (talk) 07:17, 27 May 2013 (UTC)

DYK for Gurlen

Updated DYK queryOn 31 May 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Gurlen, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Gurlen is a major centre for cotton production in Uzbekistan? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Wikidata merge BWV

I never merged and am too busy to learn it now. New Bach cantatas exist in at least two items for BWV 100, BWV 117, BWV 119, BWV 122, BWV 143, BWV 213, BWV 224, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:27, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

Completed, it was much worse than just this. Currently all articles on Bach cantatas should be linked by interwikis. If there are problems please let me know.--Ymblanter (talk) 13:45, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

Questions

Славочка, здравствуйте. Вы не могли бы еще помочь. На моей странице меня поругали за Konstantin Sergeyev, а я не поняла, в чем дело. Каждое отдельное слово поняла, а все вместе не поняла. И еще: почему в Leonid Yakobson убрали ссылки на Ютюб с хореграфией, но зато добавили музыку. Все-таки музыка – это удел композиторов и больше подходит для их статей, а в хореографе – главное хореография. Его фильм получил призы – и люди могли бы сразу посмотреть, для балета знание русского языка не требуется. Спасибо. Lawrentia (talk) 15:37, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

Я вроде не трогал ссылки у Якобсона, если случайно что-то удалил, это моя ошибка, исправлю. Я к нему периодически возвращаюсь по вечерам, когда время есть. По Сергееву посмотрю.--Ymblanter (talk) 15:40, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
По Сергееву исправил, так, как Вы поставили, бот, видимо, путает с интервики.--Ymblanter (talk) 15:43, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
      • Ага, по Сергееву поняла свою ошибку, я не знала. Спасибо. По Якобсону очень сложная статья - я знаю. Я ее по-русски делала долго: и по сайтам, и по книгам, и по личным связям. Извините, что я вас так замучила этой статьей, но это очень важная статья. По сути дела - информации много, но она вся разбросана, нету единого целого материала, вот только наши статьи получаются единственные. Спасибо еще раз. --Lawrentia (talk) 15:51, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

Saint Petersburg State University

Hi Yaroslav, the Saint Petersburg State University article contains a lengthy List of rectors. Are there corresponding Russian articles? Then it will be good to improve the present unreferenced Uiversity article. Solomon7968 (talk) 13:57, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

Yes, there are articles about almost all of the rectors in Russian Misplaced Pages. I can probably reference the list, but I never use Russian Misplaced Pages for info, since it is very unreliable.--Ymblanter (talk) 14:02, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
I added a timeline infobox to the article. The article has some Original research whether it was the first or Moscow university in Russia. Are there any reliable source for it? Solomon7968 (talk) 14:10, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
It was the first, I will find a reference.--Ymblanter (talk) 15:31, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
