POV edits in articles on Crimea

[edit]

Could you please stop waste our time adding POV wording to Crimean articles? None of your edits has been appropriate, I reverted all of them, and what you want to say is already in the articles written in neutral language. Thank you for understanding.--Ymblanter (talk) 02:31, 6 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ymblanter: Unfortunately you present your subjective opinion as "accepted point of view" while your edits are purely POV. You revert all edits that correctly show status of Crimea as an occupied part of Ukraine. Instead, you, Ymblanter, insist that Crimea is a part of Russia. International law defines Crimea an integral part of Ukraine and Wikipedia should not spread any other positions.

Information icon Please do not alter quotations. In this set of edits you altered a quotation from

"Crimea was formally absorbed into Russia on 18 March, to international condemnation, after unidentified gunmen took over the peninsula."

To:

"Crimea was formally absorbed into Russia on 18 March, to international condemnation, after Russian troops took over the peninsula."

I checked the source. I do not know why Britain's communist-dominated BBC wrote what they did. But they did.-- Toddy1 (talk) 04:41, 6 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Please understand that changing the file names of reference to images stops things working correctly. In this set of edits you altered a filename from "Outline Map of Crimea in Russia (vector).svg" to "Outline Map of Crimea (vector).svg". This is a bit stupid. You did not check that there was a file called "Outline Map of Crimea (vector).svg"!-- Toddy1 (talk) 04:41, 6 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Please do not delete the Russian language names for places in the Ukraine, as you did here. Just under half the people in the Ukraine speak Russian as their first language. The idea that only the Ukrainian-language is valid is a fantasy of neo-Nazis from Lvov and their foreign supporters.-- Toddy1 (talk) 04:41, 6 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon The article you edited uses Template:Infobox Russian federal subject. One of your changes was to change a parameter name from "established_date =" to "Annexed_date =". There is no "Annexed_date =" parameter in that template, so your edit did not work. Next time please check. Please read Wikipedia:Competence is required. You are trying to do the right thing, and making a mess of it.-- Toddy1 (talk) 04:41, 6 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

To be honest, I do not see any right thing here. The articles have been seen by quite a lot of people, and literally every word there is a result of some compromise, many things have been thoroughly discussed. An attempt to add POV wording (by either side) is not going to help here.--Ymblanter (talk) 06:31, 6 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Autonomous Republic of Crimea, you may be blocked from editing. EvergreenFir (talk) 12:59, 6 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.
@EvergreenFir:, the IP were actually right in this particular case (adding the Ukrainian flag to Autonomous Republic of Crimea, it was a result of POV pushing from the opposite side which I previously overlooked. All their other edits are wither not constructive, or outright disruptive. If they continnue, they will be presented to ANI and blocked.--Ymblanter (talk) 13:47, 6 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation. 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.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
  2. 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; 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.
Please read WP:Righting Great Wrongs and discuss your proposed changes on the article's talk page. Also, please refrain from casting aspersions on your fellow editors, such as your edit summary saying "I am sure that, as in the case with 2016 US elections, there are many paid agents of the Russian Federation to swing any discussion held here." A central pillar of Wikipedia is WP:Assuming good faith from other editors and treating each other with respect.

Request reason:

It looks like there is a pro-Russian conspiracy among editors. You try to suppress objective expression of facts in favor of your, Kremlin's, agenda. There is absolutely no reason to block somebody who adds a reference to a statement made by By EIGHT EUROPEAN FOREIGN MINISTERS. Poll numbers in Russia occupied Crimea can not be trusted. "Broad repressive policies have followed, leading to widespread human rights abuses such as imprisonment on political grounds, closure of media outlets and schools, and several cases of killings and disappearances.", https://euobserver.com/opinion/141353. You blocked me when I was adding this reference. Apparently, this is a 'freedom of speech' - Russian style. Bob Mueller waits for you, guys.

Decline reason:

To the best of my knowledge, Courcelles is not a Russian operative. TonyBallioni (talk) 05:23, 7 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Crimea related pages are controlled by Russian trolls. Look at one of the comments to my edits from Toddy1: "The idea that only the Ukrainian-language is valid is a fantasy of neo-Nazis from Lvov and their foreign supporters.-- Toddy1 (talk)". This is a typical Kremlin's rhetoric. Unfortunately, Wikipedia became a tool that spreads Putin/Kremlin propaganda... Toddy1 invents the argument about Ukrainian language, then adds neo-Nazis accusation, then mentions 'foreign supporters'. All statements have nothing to do with my edits, but apparently that's how you guys are taught by your Russian government supervisors. Again, it is obvious that Crimea Wikipedia pages are under control of the Russian government agents directly or indirectly via proxies.

Why you have problems doing the right thing in the wrong way

[edit]

The source you wanted to use [1] was clearly labelled as an opinion piece. There is a Wikipedia policy that relates to these: WP:NEWSORG. This says: "Editorial commentary, analysis and opinion pieces, whether written by the editors of the publication (editorials) or outside authors (op-eds) are reliable primary sources for statements attributed to that editor or author, but are rarely reliable for statements of fact."

This was why your reference was not allowed.-- Toddy1 (talk) 17:40, 7 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Toddy1: after your biased and baseless neo-Nazi accusations (above) all your suggestions are meaningless and ill-intended.

Edit warring

[edit]
Stop icon

Your recent editing history at Republic of Crimea shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.-- Toddy1 (talk) 18:16, 8 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Contributors with biased positions try to use technicality to block me from participation in the discussion; they try maintain a biased page regarding Crimea. Some editors/contributors try to legitimize annexation of Crimea on the Wikipedia page instead of providing objective information. The argument is about one edit and one statement that 'Crimea is internationally recognised as a part of Ukraine', those who seek blocking me want to remove this statement from the page summary. Censorship that is motivated purely by their allegiance to Russia. One may check their wikipages and see that they first language is Russian or they do speak Russian. Nothing is wrong about that but they can't maintain objective position regarding the Crimea topic. Wikipedia should take this into account, especially in the light of Facebook issues, Russian troll farms, etc. One of the contributors left a message accusing Ukrainian side in being neo-Nazis, etc.. Do we expect honest behavior from these contributors?

Here is the last exchange before they blocked me:

Me: P.S. Note should be visible in the summary, use the same font as other messages. I believe current version is already acceptable. Footnote is not acceptable. Summary already hides a lot of important information. 96.9.247.171 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 12:19, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

Me: Comment: It is really unfortunate that Ymblanter and some other contributors to this page consistently try to block me. I believe that Crimea pages are under strong control / influence of people connected to Russian government interests. Wikipedia should do something about this. Wikipedia should not be used for propaganda by a totalitarian regime as it happens here and now. 96.9.247.171 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 12:35, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

Ymblanter: This clearly demonstrates your battleground mentality and that you are not here to build an encyclopedia. This is why you will be blocked.--Ymblanter (talk) 12:37, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

Note that Ymblanter knows that the discussion is going on, but he wants to remove my small edit that Crimea is internationally recognised as a part of Ukraine. Go and look at his wikipage, what is his/her first language? Right, it is Russian.

Please see also discussion page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Republic_of_Crimea#Possible_consensus_building It is also obvious that Ymblanter looks for an opportunity to block so she/he can suppress an objective commonly accepted point of view in favor Kremlin agenda.

It is up to Wikipedia now is either to maintain Western standards or go with contributors like Ymblanter and Toddy1 and others that use knowledge of technical Wikipedia procedures to push their Kremlin inspired agenda and suppress contributions from the rest of us.

Remember, the whole argument is about one statement only: "Crimea is internationally recognised as a part of Ukraine."

Request reason:

Please note, it is not about personal attacks - it is about systematic bias from several people who suppress input of the objective information. Your, jpgordon, decision not to lift the block may further undermine trustworthiness of Wikipedia - please reconsider. Personal attack is a subjective statement about somebody. I point attention to circumstances that explain why several contributors are not capable to act objectively. I seek explanation of their behavior because their previous comments could not be explained by anything else but Russian propaganda. They made statements about 'neo-Nazis in Ukraine', 'their [neo-Nazis] foreign supporters', 'Ukrainian nationalists'; all these are typical statements of the Russian propaganda machine. If one reads their contributions and explanations, including to this page, one can easily see their bias. This bias is explained in my argument. This is not a personal attack at all. Let's not forget that the whole argument is about inclusion of only one statement into summary of the page: "According to international law, Crimea is a part of Ukraine". Instead, the current version of summary (they blocked me because of this)attributes annexed Crimea to Russia while not saying anything about the annexation or international position. These guys try to prevent my objective edit using all kinds of procedural techniques including blocking requests. Who is making a personal attack, those who try suppress objective edit that reflects international law while using offensive and untruthfull statements (see above) or people who ask to include one statement only that is a common knowledge everywhere but the Russian Federation? Thank you.

Decline reason:

Requests containing personal attacks will not be considered, as you have already been told. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 19:03, 9 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

It is not a personal attack. The page is controlled by people with an obvious bias. You don't dispute that. But how can one point this out without talking about this bias? Of course, we can agree that if somebody either via creation of multiple identities or via group efforts decide to highjack a topic or a page, Wikipedia can not do anything and Wikipedia will not do anything. Simple investigation of edits from these several people/identities would show their true intentions. So what do we do? Nothing?

Decline reason:

Continuing on this same exact path has resulted in the loss of your talk page access, which I fully endorse. The page is not controlled by anyone, and there is no bias. WP:NPOV ensures this. RickinBaltimore (talk) 20:14, 9 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

RickinBaltimore: How can you be so sure? Wikileaks did not serve Russian interests? You did not block people for merely expressing some criticism of how Wikipedia conducts business by allowing Russian trolls fully control Crimea pages? It seems to me you willingly help to spread Russian propaganda. Why do you do that? What is your interest there?
