June 2020

Hello, I'm WikiHannibal. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Norilsk oil spill, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. WikiHannibal (talk) 16:13, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

WikiHannibal this is a translation of Russian Wikipedia, sources in there: ru:Утечка_дизельного_топлива_в_Норильске. --Erokhin (talk) 16:19, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, sources need to be in the article, usually as refs to each statement (sentence/paragraph). See WP:RS, WP:BURDEN for more guidance. Thanks, WikiHannibal (talk) 16:22, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

WikiHannibal thanks for the advice, I will do it. Russian Wikipedia has more details. --Erokhin (talk) 16:31, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oleg Deripaska

On a related note, why have you removed large portions of sourced text from Oleg Deripaska in February? Unexplained removal of sourced content may be seen as WP:VANDAL. WikiHannibal (talk) 16:23, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

WikiHannibal, I'm not a vandal. I wrote an article as in Russian Wikipedia. --Erokhin (talk) 16:26, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I did not say you were. However, unexplained removals of sourced content may be seen as illegitimate blanking, i.e. as vandalism, see WP:VANDTYPES. There is no reason the English version of the article should mimic the Russian (or any other) version, esp. when that involves removing sourced content. Generally, it is good practice to explain the reason behind your changes in the edit summary (or at the talk page in case of large changes such as your removals). I have restored much of the content you removed. Feel free to improve the article by checking/adding sources and editing according to them, adding new sourced content, removing unsourced content. WikiHannibal (talk) 18:22, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

WikiHannibal thanks, I really was in a hurry. I will be more attentive. --Erokhin (talk) 18:28, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for November 9

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Alexander Shishkov, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Polish. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:12, 9 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment.

If you wish to participate in the 2021 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. If you no longer wish to receive these messages, you may add {{NoACEMM}} to your user talk page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:31, 23 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Igor Teologov moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Igor Teologov, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Proposed deletion of Ksenia Shoygu

The article Ksenia Shoygu has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

BLP lacks non-routine coverage in independent sources

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. MrsSnoozyTurtle 08:13, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Ksenia Shoygu

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Ksenia Shoygu requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ksenia Shoygu. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Erokhin. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Oleg Deripaska, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam#External link spamming);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. You have a history of removing negative content from the page of Oleg Deripaska and adding negative content to the page of Vladimir Chernukhin. Given that the two persons Deripaska and Chernukhin are involved in a litigation, do you have any conflict of interest? If you don't have as such, can you explain your such behavior? Moreover your attempts to create non-notable individuals linked to Derpaska e.g. Ksenia Shoygu and Igor Teologov make this appear to be a very probable case of COI. Please state and explain the facts.Vloskim Kramář (talk) 19:31, 10 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Pinging @WikiHannibal:, who identified unexplained content blanking from Deripaska's page. Vloskim Kramář (talk) 19:35, 10 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

April 2022

Hello, I'm Vloskim Kramář. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Vladimir Chernukhin seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Though there are lot of other issues, this seems to be one of the primary concern of Erokhin's edit history in relation to Vladimir Chernukhin page. See Talk:Vladimir_Chernukhin for more.

Concern regarding Draft:Igor Teologov

Hello, Erokhin. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Igor Teologov, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 16:03, 1 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:Igor Teologov

Hello, Erokhin. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Igor Teologov".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 15:23, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The World Destubathon

Hello. You're invited to participate in The World Destubathon. We're aiming to destub a lot of articles and also improve longer stale articles. It started today on Monday June 16 and will run until Sunday July 13. There is over $3300 going into it, with $500 the top prize. If you are interested in winning something to save you money in buying books for future content, or just see it as a good editathon opportunity to see a lot of articles improved for subjects which interest you, sign up on the page in the participants section if interested. Even if you can only manage a few articles they would be very much appreciated and help make the content produced as diverse and broad as possible!♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:46, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that one or more recent edits you made did not have an edit summary. Collaboration among editors is fundamental to Wikipedia, and every edit should be explained by a clear edit summary, or by discussion on the talk page. Please use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit or to describe what it changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances that your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits, an adequate summary may be quite brief.

The edit summary field looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

or in the visual editor:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Describe what you changed

Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. If you use a registered account, you can give yourself a reminder by setting Preferences → Editing → Editor → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary (or the default undo summary), and then click the "Save" button. Thanks! Amigao (talk) 01:26, 20 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your recent edits to Riad Beyrouti when you modified the page, you introduced unknown parameters. Just because you specify |some_param=some_variable does not always mean that variable will display. The |some_param= must be defined in the template. You can look at the documentation for the template you are using but it is also helpful to use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and ensure that the values you have added are displaying correctly. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the page will look like without actually saving it. It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. Note I have likely fixed the error by now so check the history of the page to see how it was fixed. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance. Thank you. Zackmann (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 16:55, 23 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. At least one of your edits on the page Salwa Fallouh, while it may have been in good faith, was difficult to distinguish from vandalism. To help other editors understand the reason for the changes, you can use an edit summary for your contributions. You can also take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Please use the article talk page if you have questions.

Your recent edits seem to be just pushing 'active voice' nonsense. The passive voice is useful. Urselius (talk) 13:59, 26 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I entirely agree that the passive voice is a useful and often indispensable part of good English prose, and I never remove it on principle. My edits were aimed at improving the clarity and rhythm of a few specific sentences where the active construction felt slightly more natural. I have no objection whatever if you or other editors adjust or revert any changes that, in your view, weaken the text. I shall not insist on my edits; perhaps I was indeed excessive.
