Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at History of Ukraine. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Mellk (talk) 11:00, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Rather than simply restoring previous edits, please address the concerns raised. Mellk (talk) 08:47, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you continue to make unsourced and POV edits without discussing, I will request a block instead. Mellk (talk) 10:15, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at History of Ukraine, you may be blocked from editing. Mellk (talk) 10:19, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note

Please note that due to WP:RUSUKR, editors who are not extended confirmed are unable to make edits about the Russo-Ukrainian war, broadly construed, but it is still possible to make constructive edit requests on the talk page. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks. Mellk (talk) 11:27, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What was unclear about this?[1] Mellk (talk) 08:19, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I only added a link to the War in Donbass page in the section on the Main articles, without adding any new information about the war itself. Smm380 (talk) 08:28, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but this applies to all edits related to the topic, broadly construed. As it says: Only extended-confirmed editors may make edits related to the topic area. Mellk (talk) 08:31, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Understood, I wasn't aware that adding a link also falls under the restriction. I'll keep that in mind and refrain from such edits in the future. Thanks for the clarification. Smm380 (talk) 08:33, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I noticed that you may have recently made edits while logged out. Please be mindful not to perform controversial edits while logged out, or your account risks being blocked from editing. Please consider reading up on Wikipedia's policy on multiple accounts before editing further. Additionally, making edits while logged out reveals your IP address, which may allow others to determine your location and identity. If this was not your intention, please remember to log in when editing. Thank you. Mellk (talk) 11:29, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not log out when making edits. This is my last warning. Mellk (talk) 10:17, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:ALTACCOUNT. You can not pretend you are from Kazakhstan on the other account and then only disclose that you have a previous account after being caught. Considering all the previous warnings about socking, this is not good enough. I do not see any valid reason for you to operate two accounts at the same time.

Please see Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Ukrainian places) which states the current consensus on Wikipedia and is the reason your change of historic "Kiev" to "Kyiv" was reverted.Sjö (talk) 09:53, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your feedback and for pointing me to the relevant policy on Wikipedia. I appreciate the importance of following established naming conventions and community consensus. However, I would like to highlight that there is a growing international trend toward using "Kyiv" instead of "Kiev" even in historical contexts.

The United Nations, major international media outlets, and official bodies have adopted "Kyiv" as the preferred transliteration. The ongoing KyivNotKiev campaign promoted by the Ukrainian government has successfully changed the naming in many global platforms. Given this context, I believe it is worth reconsidering how historical names are presented in Wikipedia to reflect current standards and respect the preferences of the people whose history is being described. However, I fully understand that such changes require community discussion and that this cannot change quickly. Smm380 (talk) 12:56, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

May 2025

To enforce an arbitration decision, and for sockpuppetry and repeated violation WP:RUSUKR restrictions on the page History of Ukraine, you have been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia.

If you believe this block is unjustified, please read the guide to appealing blocks (specifically this section) before appealing. Place the following on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Please copy my appeal to the [[WP:AE|arbitration enforcement noticeboard]] or [[WP:AN|administrators' noticeboard]]. Your reason here OR place the reason below this template. ~~~~}}. If you intend to appeal on the arbitration enforcement noticeboard, I suggest you use the arbitration enforcement appeals template on your talk page so it can be copied over easily. You may also appeal directly to me (by email), before or instead of appealing on your talk page.

Reminder to administrators: In May 2014, ArbCom adopted the following procedure instructing administrators regarding Arbitration Enforcement blocks: "No administrator may modify a sanction placed by another administrator without: (1) the explicit prior affirmative consent of the enforcing administrator; or (2) prior affirmative agreement for the modification at (a) AE or (b) AN or (c) ARCA (see "Important notes"). Administrators modifying sanctions out of process may at the discretion of the committee be desysopped."
