File:Stop_hand_nuvola.svg You may be blocked from editing without further warning for adding in articles WP:OR. The array of falsifications and falsehoods crosses all boundaries this was shown in battle of Sich (1674), it has been pointed out to you before that you are cheating and that the sources you add to some things do not reflect what is written in them. Nihil novi nisi (talk) 16:29, 3 February 2025 (UTC)
:@Dushnilkin Quotes from sources translated to English:
:Source for 150 Cossacks on page 167 (at the end of web page 80) [https://litnet.com/ru/reader/koshevoi-ataman-zaporozhskoi-sechi-idserko-b237575?c=2208478&p=80]:
:*"...When they themselves saw that their Sich was filled with the enemy - the Turks, they immediately and as quietly as possible summoned all the comrades of their Kurin, who numbered up to one hundred and fifty people, and informed them about the impending disaster."
:Source for 350 Cossacks (also mentioned on Ukrainian Wikipedia) [http://litopys.org.ua/velichko/vel33.htm]:
:*"...When they themselves saw the Sich full of their enemies, the Turks, then at once quietly awaken the whole company of their hut, of whom there were three and a half hundred, and they told them of the trouble that awaited them."
:These are the sources that were given failed verification label in Battle of Sich (1674). The message left by @Nihil novi nisi is unreasonable. These figures are mentioned in citied sources and aren't WP:OR. StephanSnow (talk) 04:18, 4 February 2025 (UTC)
::I only set the FV for 350 people, because I didn't see it in the source myself, show it there, not on another wiki. Good morning. Dushnilkin (talk) 05:10, 4 February 2025 (UTC)
:::Alright. Than don't see what else is supposed to be an "array of falsifications and falsehoods" that "crosses all boundaries" in what I added to this article. Good morning. StephanSnow (talk) 05:40, 4 February 2025 (UTC)
::::Well, I didn't say that, the article really has a lot to show for it, but not OR Dushnilkin (talk) 07:12, 4 February 2025 (UTC)
:::::Yeah, that part was meant to refer to Nihil who left the message. StephanSnow (talk) 07:31, 4 February 2025 (UTC)
::The falsity of stastics and other things has already been proven by you in Battle of Nabróż, UPA Lublin offensive. I thought Dushnilkin would show more such falsifications so I put up this warning template. Nihil novi nisi (talk) 14:04, 5 February 2025 (UTC)
:::The only thing I saw was the absence of numbers in the source, and I indicated the appropriate note. In general, the article itself should be redone or deleted. She figures in one chronicle source with obvious hyperbolization. Allegedly, 15,000 "selected Istanbul janissaries" went to plunder the surroundings of Ukraine! Well, I don't think the figures with the losses and forces of the parties need any comments. Good afternoon. Dushnilkin (talk) 14:10, 5 February 2025 (UTC)
:::The problem with Battle of Nabróż was that in the main source I used, the source mentioned the first failed attack on Nabroz (May 4-5), then the source reported a bunch of skirmishes with some details (such as casualties) until May 18-19, when another attack on Nabroz was mentioned. These skirmishes probably weren’t related to the actual battle, and I added a bunch of unnecessary information as a result, also in too much detail from the source, which could’ve made it sound similar to the original text in the source.
:::Similar problem with UPA Lublin offensive, where the source listed battles from April to May, then stated: "As a result of these events…" mentioning establishment of Kholm front, council and other information. Apparently this source wasn’t the most detailed and made it sound like it was a single major offensive instead of separate battles. This problem was already resolved by Fajowy on this page.
:::For the Battle of Sich (1674) (which was used as an example of the worst violation of WP:OR), there isn’t even violation of WP:OR, only a problem with sources at most.
:::I think this warning template was unreasonable. The information in these articles was supported by cited sources, most of which I put in the text of article itself to avoid WP:OVERCITE in the infobox in the first 2 articles, but I complied it wrong in the case of first 2 articles as I explained. StephanSnow (talk) 16:09, 5 February 2025 (UTC)
::::This skirmish is WP:OR no such term in the historiography, just like the offensive on Lublin. It is part of the Hrubieszów revolution. Nihil novi nisi (talk) 17:29, 5 February 2025 (UTC)
:::::Nabroz was an actual separate skirmish that took place in May. Lublin offensive wasn’t though which I already explained, and was actually a list of different skirmishes in the source, some are part of the Hrubieszów Revolution. StephanSnow (talk) 22:00, 5 February 2025 (UTC)
