Nonsense at [[Pseudo-mythology]]
I see you're attempting to restore this page, which is extremely poorly sourced and full of nonsense, such as claims that the reconstruction of *Ostara falls into this category (we have an entire, well-sourced article on this topic at Ēostre). I suggest that you become more familiar with the fundamentals of historical linguistics and folklore studies before proceeding. :bloodofox: (talk) 20:31, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
:{{ping|Bloodofox}} There is no need do wrangle against each other. I think the article merits existence. So let use invite others to say a word in merge suggestion. --Altenmann >talk 23:16, 9 November 2024 (UTC)

In this case, is it a good idea to mention what is presumably the ethnicity of the three soldiers? I do not see the ethnicity mentioned in all three articles, nor is it sourced in the article. It is mentioned in Raising a Flag over the Reichstag, but the mention of Berest is not there, and I took a look at all of the cited sources there and none of them referred to the ethnicity of those soldiers, so this has failed verification in that regard. Although they were born within the modern-day borders, I am not sure if there is any dispute about the ethnicity. This is why I think it generally makes more sense to only refer to the nationality, since references to ethnicity often leads to disputes. Mellk (talk) 08:19, 4 December 2024 (UTC)
:{{ping|Mellk}} I know about the problems of ethnicity vs. nationality in Wikipedia. However in this case this was a point of Soviet propaganda: an illustration of the "friendship of the peoples". I will try to find sources to this end, meanwhile I self-revert, because without explanation it looks meaningless indeed. --Altenmann >talk 09:37, 4 December 2024 (UTC)
::I see what you mean. I think this would be better suited in the Raising a Flag over the Reichstag article, perhaps? I tend to agree that mentioning the ethnicity without explanation is best avoided. Mellk (talk) 14:43, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

My edit on Islam in India was reverted
I noticed you reverted my edit on Islam in India. Plural “Shias” is more natural and makes more sense than “Shia.” Also, the rest of your summary did not make sense and wasn’t necessary.
Also, I don’t think the “neighborhoods in Vilnius” should be linked until the article is created and meets notability status. I do accept your revert in the sandbox heading. Heyaaaaalol (talk) 07:17, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

File:Information orange.svg Please be careful about what you say to people. Some remarks, such as your addition to :Enterprises in the Soviet Union can easily be misinterpreted, or viewed as harassment. Wikipedia is a supportive environment, where contributors should feel comfortable and safe while editing. Edit summaries and talk pages are not supposed to host uncivil comments and threats ({{tq|Go away}}, {{tq|... or I report you for disruption}}). This is not acceptable. Learn the guidelines, and eventually how to behave in a civil community, as long as you can. Thanks!
Going back to encyclopedic stuff (Enterprises in the Soviet Union): I'm not saying you must improve your English, but the article was clearly written in bad English (feel free to let us know what's the point of alternating spellings like "enterprises" and "enterprizes" in the same text btw) and there are lots of untranslated Russian words which you didn't even tag with {{tlx|Lang}} templates. You definitely have to do better, and I'm pretty sure you could. We will not condone such a bad attitude forever.

[[Talk:Mani (prophet)]]
A few thoughts... First, I was surprised to see my !vote reverted, but then saw it must have been some form of an edit conflict, as you appear to intended to revert the edit before mine. I was even surprised to see my edit was posted without a warning that the article changed while I was editing using the reply-editor, I thought those things were not supposed to happen. But I'm glad to see that you restored my edits properly. Thank you. However, I was a bit surprised to see you simply reopen someone elses RM closure. I was pretty sure that is strongly discouraged, and that you should talk to that editor and/or use the move review process. TiggerJay (talk) 07:44, 26 January 2025 (UTC)
:{{ping|Tiggerjay}} I am pretty sure that non-admin closures are fair game in the non-evident cases and in such situations longer waiting time is strongly encouraged. BTW, I notified the closer (although post-factum, I admit). And since there was no move, "move review" makes no sense. I could have simply opened another discussion, but I thought it would be silly. --Altenmann >talk 07:49, 26 January 2025 (UTC)
::I have no real dog in this fight, because having it open longer is no problem for me. But my understanding of policy is {{tq|if an administrator notices a clearly improper [RMNAC] move closure, they should revert the closure and re-open the discussion.}} (emphasis added) However, I would agree as long as there isn't contentiousness between you and the original closure, no harm is really done. However also for clarification WP:MR is for any/all {{tq|contested close of Wikipedia page move discussions}} and thus any closure (NAC or not, moved or not) is fair game for RM.
::Regardless of all of that, the biggest reason I brought it up was the first point where I was surprised the edit conflict occurred for both of us, I wonder if there was some sort of rare database lag or something. TiggerJay (talk) 08:00, 26 January 2025 (UTC)

Pages in Category:Wikipedia years as part of WikiProject Wikipedia
Hi. I noticed you reverted my reassessment of the pages in :Category:Wikipedia years as not being within the scope of Wikipedia:WikiProject Wikipedia. Our WikiProject has a limited scope, which only includes: The Outline of Wikipedia and everything listed in it; articles on subjects directly related to Wikipedia; articles on each edition of Wikipedia; articles on Wikipedians who are notable for being involved with Wikipedia; and other Wikipedia-related articles, especially in Category:Wikipedia or its subcategories. Because the pages in question are project pages, not articles, I assessed that they don't fall within the scope of the WikiProject. Does that sound right to you, or do you have a different view? Also, I noticed you're not on our register of WikiProject Wikipedia participants. Would you like to be? Bsherr (talk) 04:29, 1 February 2025 (UTC)

Question about an edit for the article "[[Russian political jokes]]"
Hello ! I have a question about an edit on the article "Russian political jokes".
My question is about your edit dated "FEB/10/2025" at "23:15 UTC+00:00".
I don't understand why did you removed the internal link I added about "Nancy Reagan".
Concerning yours others edits on the article made in the day of "FEB/10/2025".
I have nothing to say as you did improved the article and removed things not referenced.

- {{ping|Qflib}} (1) you deletes two referenced awards, (2) there is no point to prozify awards: it only decreases readability by added verbosity, therefore often awards are bulleted: Allison Anders#Awards. --Altenmann >talk 22:33, 27 February 2025 (UTC)

As you correctly noted [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3A1948_Palestine_war&diff=1283701430&oldid=1283664181 here], I change Israel's War of Independence to what it is redirected to, namely 1948 Palestine war. Btw; I have been reported to WP:AE, when I didn't use the "official" wp name, even when a source used another name (link). So no: "in articles about Israeli people Wikipedia must use Israeli term," is not correct, IMO. Please take it to WP:ARCA if you disagree, cheers, Huldra (talk) 20:26, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
:{{ping|Huldra}} : I withdrew my notice, right? My concern was that Israel's War of Independence is not exactly the same as 1948 Palestine war, even skipping the political bias, just the same as Nakba is not the same, although it is loosely used to refer to the 1948 Palestine war. I don't want to go into detail and don't bother to work on this; let me just mention, as an analogy, we have Great Patriotic War --> Eastern Front (World War II), but at the same time we have Great Patriotic War (term) to explain the usage of the term in the Soviet Union and in Soviet nostalgia.

Reverts of Lībietis, Zvirbulis, and Ratnieks.
Lībietis, Zvirbulis, and Ratnieks are all Latvian masculine surname forms. The feminine forms are Lībiete, Zvirbule, and Ratniece. I am confused as to what your rationale for reverting my edit placing them in the "Latvian-language masculine surnames" category. Feminine forms should have standalone disambiguation pages, or a redirect to these pages and should be categorized as "Latvian-language feminine surnames". As the pages are titled in the masculine form, I fail to see why they shouldn't be categorized as such. ExRat (talk) 23:50, 18 April 2025 (UTC)
:{{ping|ExRat}} You are right: they are masculine: but they are forms. Zvirbulis and Zvirbule are legally the same Latvian surname. BTW, in Lithuanian there is even more confusion: a surname has three forms and sometimes even four, not counting two rare obsolete forms :-). Oh, and one form may have two varieties! --Altenmann >talk 23:57, 18 April 2025 (UTC)
::Please see the category Latvian-language surnames. Masculine forms and feminine forms are in two different subcategories: Latvian-language masculine surnames and Latvian-language feminine surnames. Examples: Jansons and Jansone, Krūmiņš and Krūmiņa, etc. Likewise, when the article is titled in the masculine form (but, includes the feminine form stated in the lede), the category is "Latvian-language masculine surnames", because the feminine form doesn't have a redirect page, and the page is the masculine form. Examples: Kalniņš, Rozītis, Ķiģelis, Kļaviņš, Vītoliņš, etc. ExRat (talk) 00:17, 19 April 2025 (UTC)
:::{{ping|ExRat}} Sorry, colleague. Wikipedia is not a valid ref and it has plenty of mess. The articles are about surnames, not about surname forms.

::::"Wikipedia is not a valid ref"...I don't understand what you are saying here. What references? I was simply trying to say that there are already two subcatgories that exist for Latvian surnames: masculine and feminine forms (actually, three, because some are neither masculine or feminine forms). I didn't create the subcategories, I was just stating they have already been divided (by a Latvian editor, BTW) into both categories for the masculine and feminine forms. I am actually not going to add anything, as I find it rather difficult to work with you on Wikipedia and would rather just not interact much. But, thanks for the permission to add the proper/already established category, I guess. ExRat (talk) 00:35, 19 April 2025 (UTC)

:::::*One has to distinguish between a surname and its grammatical form. Just as "bear" and "bears are the same word, or "love" and "loved" are the same word.

:Per WP:RUSUKR you may not make any edits related to Russo-Ukraine war, broadly construed. You were already told this when you edited under the previous IP address. Mellk (talk) 16:47, 25 April 2025 (UTC)
::Please, elaborate. No idea, what are you referring to. And for clarification: who are to define "broadly construedness"? Thank you. 91.122.22.140 (talk) 17:39, 25 April 2025 (UTC)
:::You are clearly the same editor as 78.37.216.35.

I think you have been given enough chances already. Mellk (talk) 17:55, 25 April 2025 (UTC)
:::Since you have decided to continue making edits about the war, I think the next step is a block. Mellk (talk) 18:02, 25 April 2025 (UTC)
::::Your are keeping referring to the same IP. No idea, why are you still doing it? I posted my opinion to your discussion on the notice board. If you ought to ignore it, I shall appeal. Please provide instructions how to appeal. Thank you. 91.122.22.140 (talk) 18:52, 25 April 2025 (UTC)
:::::Even if we pretend that the other IP has nothing to do with you (despite same location, same editing behavior), I informed you here that you are not able to make any edits related to this war due to WP:RUSUKR, but you decided to make [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=North_Korea%E2%80%93Russia_relations&diff=prev&oldid=1287354850 this] edit immediately afterwards. Below, you stated: {{tq| I don't edit topics related to war. Just to relations between countries}}. Do you really want to argue that this edit has nothing to do with the war?

::::::Also apologies Altenmann for taking up your talk page, I will leave this to ANI now. Mellk (talk) 19:14, 25 April 2025 (UTC)
::::::Apologies my edits were construed as about war: it was not my intention to do it. And arguing as well. So, just leave for ANI. Sorry, @Altenmann, for using you page. To let you know, I mentioned your suggestion, that my edit above is about NK-Russia relations in ANI discussion. 91.122.22.140 (talk) 19:28, 25 April 2025 (UTC)

:There is no reason: no evidence that the term entered English from Ukrainian. --Altenmann >talk 18:54, 25 April 2025 (UTC)
::Please provide a reason the term entered English from Russian. I checked Ethymology at Wiktionary. And I don't edit topics related to war. Just to relations between countries. Thank you 91.122.22.140 (talk) 18:59, 25 April 2025 (UTC)
{{ping|91.122.22.140}} since you appear to be editing topics related to ru-uk war, please review/expand the aticle Denis Gariyev I have created minutes ago. --Altenmann >talk 18:54, 25 April 2025 (UTC)
:I don't think the prominence of that figure is clearer than one of Kastus Moskalik, whom your are probably consider less prominent than Yaroslav Moskalik, just because the latter was mentioned in sources. 91.122.22.140 (talk) 19:03, 25 April 2025 (UTC)
::I have no idea how you concluded my opinion about prominence. Not to say that in WIkipedia there is no pissing contests about prominence. The tag I placed on Kastus Moskalik is according to WP:NBIO. --Altenmann >talk 19:08, 25 April 2025 (UTC)
