Thanks for your contributions to Golubenko (singer). Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it has no sources and it needs more sources to establish notability. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Jonathan Deamer (talk) 15:27, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

There are sources below. PoisonHK _{Sapiens dominabitur astris} 15:51, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

The external links section? You should instead use inline citations so people know exactly which facts in your article are supported by which source. I can't tell if those are reliable sources, so you may wish to check that policy and include other sources, especially if the entire content of the article you've written can't be supported by just those two.

Category:Heroes of the Nation

Hello, PoisonHK,

Why did you tag this category as a speedy rename? It's empty and it's not even listed at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Speedy#Current requests so the tag is incorrect. Just untag this category, tag it for deletion as an empty category, CSD C1, and create a new category with the name you now want. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 02:21, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Heroes of the Nation

A tag has been placed on Category:Heroes of the Nation indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 15:49, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to Belgorod. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. Mellk (talk) 15:13, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

To elaborate, when you are reverted for adding unsourced information, the logical next step would be to include a reliable source. Wikipedia is not a reliable source so saying that the relevant information is present in another article is not sufficient. The article could be written by anyone, see WP:CITEWIKI. Mellk (talk) 19:16, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

In this case, the article you are referring to was written by someone who is now indeffed for POV pushing and socking. That article, like the others they wrote which contained misinformation, contains a lot of unsourced claims and original research nor is there anything there that directly supports what you added. Of course adding this three times when this is a core policy is not a good sign. Mellk (talk) 19:17, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

Also I have seen you add the citation needed tag in the lead of multiple articles for statements that are already sourced in the article body. See MOS:LEADCITE and avoid doing this in future please. Mellk (talk) 19:19, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

Note

Is there a reason you did not follow the consensus on the spelling of Kiev/Kyiv in this edit? Mellk (talk) 11:07, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

So is the consensus in a nutshell is using Kiev in topics before 1991? MykolaHK (talk) 12:27, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

• From 24 August 1991 (Ukrainian independence), Kyiv is likely to be appropriate
• From October 1995 (Resolution of the Ukrainian Commission for Legal Terminology No. 5), Kyiv is presumptively appropriate subject to specifics of the article.

As a result, I would imagine that WW2 would fall under "unambiguously historical". But in future if you are unsure, then it may be best to seek clarification at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (Ukrainian places). Thanks. Mellk (talk) 12:37, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

Alright, I'll change the name in the article. MykolaHK (talk) 12:39, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

Also, I have seen some edits before where you added the {{citation needed}} template in the lead of the article. The lead does not need citations, so it is not necessary to place such tags in the lead. If the information is not found in the body of the article, then it is fine to remove the text instead. Mellk (talk) 12:44, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

Yes, I'm aware of that. I have already stopped adding that to the lead. MykolaHK (talk) 12:50, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

OK, thanks for confirming. Mellk (talk) 12:51, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

August 2024

You have been blocked a few times for making such edits and you narrowly escape an indef block, by stating you are not going to come even close. Now you decided to continue. Should we return back to the indef block or community ban proposal? Ymblanter (talk) 12:56, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

Mate, the names are literally the same. MykolaHK (talk) 15:17, 30 August 2024 (UTC)

And? Your point being? Why do not you remove the Ukrainian one using the same argument? Ymblanter (talk) 18:04, 30 August 2024 (UTC)

Well because that’s a Ukrainian settlement. Do you accept it be done like Chertkovo, Rostov Oblast but instead putting the Ukrainian label at the front? MykolaHK (talk) 18:14, 30 August 2024 (UTC)

Yes, this would be ok with me. Not sure why it is better though. Ymblanter (talk) 20:46, 30 August 2024 (UTC)

Isn’t it somehow pointless to put the same Cyrillic text twice? MykolaHK (talk) 21:08, 30 August 2024 (UTC)

So what is the logic for this edit? Mellk (talk) 19:25, 5 September 2024 (UTC)

Well according to Blanter, settlements in Ukraine should have been put Russian names if there's history of theirs even though there's no current speakers, I have no comment on that. But I do think the same logic applies here. MykolaHK (talk) 05:28, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

Vladivostok was founded after Amur annexation, so there was never any Chinese history to begin with. Mellk (talk) 05:49, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

Well the Qing authorities arrived there first and there's Chinese people since then. MykolaHK (talk) 12:19, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

Similarly, Manchuria was part of the Russian sphere of influence and many White Russians went there following the October Revolution, though I do not see the point in this case. Mellk (talk) 06:59, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

I mean the Chinese have already been there since the dynasties much earlier than the Russians, I think it's a valid reason. MykolaHK (talk) 07:44, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

So, the territory previously belong to China and we must include it. Then what about Ukraine? Mellk (talk) 07:48, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

So according to Blanter it's about the speakers but not the possession. MykolaHK (talk) 07:51, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

I am not sure where you are going with this. Mellk (talk) 07:54, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

So he basically said the native language should be added no matter there are or were users of that language exists or existed there. MykolaHK (talk) 08:26, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Yellow Russia

The article Yellow Russia has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Yellow Russia as a concept beyond what Ilya Levitov coined was scantly explored, there is no indication that Russian policymakers ever planned to adopt Levitov's Yellow Russia idea. The notion that it was a thought-out project of the Russian Empire appears stem from a sock-puppet account on the Chinese Wikipedia using questionable sources that may have incorrectly interpreted Levitov's ideas as official policy. In additional to the original article on CNWiki being created by a sock-puppet, the map present on this page was created by another sock-puppet account, further indicating that this page was created to spread misinformation. Given the actual term of Yellow Russia and its relevance ends with Levitov himself, the article ought to be deleted and Yellow Russia be relegated to only being a segment on Levitov's page.

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.

This is an automated notification. Please refer to the page's history for further information. DatBot (talk) 00:30, 10 March 2025 (UTC)

Help with Ukrainian political parties pages

Hi Mykola, thanks for your work on Ukraine-related pages in zh and en wikipedias. I'm working on political pages in Ukraine right now, including for {{Ukrainian political parties}}, but found some pages missing. Specifically, there are no pages in uk wiki for Volodymyr Buryak's party (active in Zaporizhzhia), nor does it have one for Oleksandr Vilkul's party (active in Dnipro). I need your help because I don't speak Ukrainian, so I need someone who does to work on these pages. Would you be willing to help with writing? Thanks! TeddyRoosevelt1912 (talk) 04:57, 11 March 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for notifying, but sadly I think my Ukrainian is not that good enough to write an article’s quality as good enough as the current party articles. I also got an issue on my WiFi and IP which made me unable to edit ENWP that freely. I think it would be much better to let the native users here to do the job. — MykolaHK (talk) 09:54, 12 March 2025 (UTC)

@MykolaHK: Sorry didn't see this (please @ me if possible), no worries at all! I just thought you would be interested since you tend to know a lot about Ukraine-related topics, and also sorry about the wifi issue, hope it's fixed soon. Well, if there's anything you need help with, always feel free to ask me! Cheers, TeddyRoosevelt1912 (talk) 22:05, 20 March 2025 (UTC)

Request writing about Isabelle de Charriere (Q123386)

Hello MykolaHK, Would you like to write about Isabelle de Charriere (Q123386) for the zh_yue Wikipedia? it would be appreciated if is will be done. (Thanks for your ZH article about her). Boss-well63 (talk) 12:49, 15 March 2025 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Borys Khersonskyi

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 Borys Khersonskyi requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from edurank.org/uni/odessa-national-medical-university. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

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.

Proposed deletion of Borys Khersonskyi

The article Borys Khersonskyi has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Searches did not turn up enough in-depth coverage from independent, reliable sources to support meeting WP:GNG, and does not meet WP:SCHOLAR.

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.

Taking care

Thank you for your working supporting the Wikipedia project. Please do make sure to write full edit summaries that tell other editors why you have made changes to the articles you have edited. WP:ES. Please do not alter direct quotes. They are precisely and specifically what the person referenced has said. Thank you. Anna (talk) 21:15, 18 February 2026 (UTC)

Edit summaries aren’t compulsory though right? MykolaHK _{Sapiens dominabitur astris} 21:40, 18 February 2026 (UTC)

Courtsey is compulsory, yes. WP is a fundamentally collaborative project, which means you have to communicate with other editors. That is the point of the project. WP:Etiquette. WP:5P4. Anna (talk) 13:52, 19 February 2026 (UTC)
